Time flies, the years are long, decades have passed in an instant, and now it is forty-five years in Kangshun.

During the decades that Jia Ke was in power, the world was peaceful and surrendered, which can be said to be a rare moment of relaxation for the common people.

With Jia Ke's reform of the rule of officials and the development of maritime trade, the tax revenue of the imperial court is also increasing, and now after all the expenses of the imperial court are exhausted every year, it can still leave a balance of thirty or forty million taels, which has never happened in all dynasties.

In the previous dynasties, the annual tax revenue could cover all the expenses of the second year, which was already considered a prosperous era, where could tens of millions of taels of silver be saved for later use.

In the palace, the current Empress Dowager Jia Mu had already died 30 years ago and was buried in the imperial mausoleum in the western suburbs.

A few years after Jia's mother died, Jia Zheng also died of illness, and finally entered the Western Suburbs Imperial Mausoleum as the emperor as the ancestor of their branch.

After Jia Zheng's death, the life of the queen mother was even worse, she was not dealing with Jia Ke, there was Jia Zheng to support her, and now Jia Zheng is no longer there, although she is said to be the queen mother in the palace, but she was constrained everywhere, and soon died of depression.

And to say that the most blessed in this harem is Jia Ke's biological mother, the Queen Mother Zhou.

Although the queen mother is not from a high background, who let her give birth to a good son, she has been in a happy mood since Jia Ke ascended the throne, and her body has been quite tough for so many years, and she is now nearly eighty years old.

At such an age, it can be said that he is an old birthday star in the palace, so now in the palace, all the good things are close to the queen mother first.

As a result, the Empress Dowager Zhou still didn't last long, and Jia Ke died the year before last, and Jia Ke fell seriously ill after that, and he didn't fully recover until three months later.

If these are trivial matters, then the most important thing in the court now is the choice of Jia Ke's successor.

For so many years, I don't know what happened to Jia Ke, and he has never established a prince.

So these sons of Jia Ke below, who thought they had some identities, all peeped at this treasure seat and tried their best to behave in front of Jia Ke.

But Jia Ke is like watching a play, watching these sons, fighting openly and secretly, as long as they don't make too much trouble, Jia Ke never interferes.

And the ministers below also saw Jia Ke's thoughts, Jia Ke was like raising Gu, and wanted to choose the most desirable one from his son.

As a result, many far-sighted ministers will not be involved in the real fight of these princes, because they know that Jia Ke has not yet made up his mind, and they are now taking refuge in these princes in the future, and once they fail, their lives will not be guaranteed.

Besides, Jia Ke's most active sons are Jia Hui, the son of the imperial concubine Xue Baochai, the king of Qi, Jia Ming, the son of the concubine Shi Xiangyun, and the son of the concubine Qiaolian, the king of Wu, Jia Mao.

In order to compete for the position of the crown prince, these three princes are fighting openly and secretly, except for direct action, they have used all kinds of conspiracies and tricks.

That's not all, the mother's family behind them has also begun to contribute, and these three families are now fighting fiercely in the court.

However, fortunately, Jia Ke controlled it properly and did not give the three families too much power, so they only fought if they wanted to, and it did not affect the court situation.

In King Jing's Mansion, Jia Yu has died, although Jia Lian is now King Jing, everything in the palace is under Wang Xifeng's control, and Wang Xifeng's son is now also the son of King Jin, just waiting for Jia Lian to pass away, he will be able to take charge of King Jing's Mansion in the name of justice.

And Jia Lian is naturally unwilling to do this kind of thing, after all, he knows that this prince is not his own.

Therefore, Shang Jia Lian made trouble several times, wanting to pass on the position of the son to his biological children and Second Sister You.

But where can he do this matter, Jia Ke was still furious because of this matter, and once in the court, he scolded King Jing for suppressing his concubine with a concubine.

Because of Jia Ke's resolute attitude, he immediately frightened Jia Lian, and from then on, he never dared to mention the matter of changing the establishment of the prince, so he could only eat, drink and have fun in the fifth middle school, and no longer care about other things, but Jia Ke did not embarrass Jia Lian too much, and directly sealed a county king to Jia Lian's parent, which can be regarded as saving face for him.

And Jia Baoyu in King Fu's mansion can be regarded as a nest, since marrying that Fan Chunxia, he has no status in the mansion at all, and everything in the house is handled by this Princess Fan, but Jia Baoyu himself is a dough, and he didn't care much about Princess Fan's handling of things in the house, but put his mind on poetry and writing, and also made some romantic talents among the people, so King Fu's thousand-year-old Ming is still very loud among the literati.

And Jia Lan in King Rong's mansion, since he inherited the title of his father King Rong, he has not put down his studies, so his reputation in Shilin is no worse than Jia Baoyu.

Only Jia Huan lived honestly in his Kangwang Mansion and did not toss any romantic and talented things, but he was also prosperous and rich all his life, and his children and grandchildren were full.

On this day, Jia Ke had just passed his sixty-fifth birthday, returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, closed his eyes and recuperated, and fell asleep unconsciously.

In the haze, Jia Ke felt that there was a voice between heaven and earth calling him.

Jia Ke was confused, so he followed the call of this voice, like flying in the vast sky, and after a while, he came to a void.

There was no matter in this void, but somehow, Jia Ke felt that there was a will around him.

There was no sound around, and Jia Ke felt that the voice told him that his longevity was about to arrive, and asked him to hurry up and prepare.

Immediately after that, a pulling force suddenly became angry, and directly pulled Jia Ke back to his body from the void, and Jia Ke woke up only to feel sweating profusely.

Although it was a dream, Jia Ke felt that what had just happened was too clear, thinking about it all these years, he didn't know if it was luck or what, it had been smooth sailing, and when he was thinking about being blessed by the gods on the battlefield, he was not injured at all.

Jia Ke thought about it now, I am afraid that this was a dream given to him by a certain immortal, telling him that time was running out and that he should make plans early.

Jia Ke felt irritable when he thought of this, Jia Ke was not afraid of death, because Jia Ke had already died once in his previous life, and he had traveled in the six realms of reincarnation.

Now that he knew what it would be like after death, he naturally no longer feared death, and the thing that annoyed Jia Ke now was that there was not much time left for him, and he had not removed the obstacles for the heir.

Jia Ke woke up in the middle of the night, sat on the bed and thought until dawn, and finally had to make a decision.

So on the next day, the dynasty suddenly announced that Jia Mu, the king of Jin, won the heart of the king and changed his title to the king of Yan.

This bomb was thrown, and the court was immediately torn apart.

You must know that this King Yan is not easy to seal, the current court is called the Great Yan Dynasty, and Jia Ke was also the King of Yan before he ascended the throne, and now he has named this prince as King Yan, so Jia Ke's meaning is already very clear, this prince is only one step away from ascending to the throne of the crown prince.

And Jia Ke's holy decree directly blew up the three princes who fought to the death, they thought that the prince would be born among the three of them in the end, but they didn't expect them to fight to the death, and in the end this position will fall into the hands of others.

So the three of them began to secretly contact each other, wanting to get rid of this biggest threat first, and then they were competing for the crown prince.

And Jia Ke knew that he didn't have much time, so he didn't spare his hands when the three sons started to contact.

Then several decrees were issued.

The first holy decree is for Jia Mao, the king of Wu, and the holy decree says: Jia Mao, the king of Wu, has been rude in front of me, and he has thought about it behind closed doors, and he is not allowed to go out of the house for half a step without following the holy decree.

The second holy decree was given to Jia Hui, the king of Qi, because Jia Hui, the king of Qi, was corrupted to the Huangling Tomb and kept the spirit of his ancestors for three years.

The third holy decree was given to Jia Ming, the king of Zhao, because Jia Ke dreamed many times that the ancestor Jia Daishan had a dream, saying that the mausoleum was uneasy, so he ordered the king of Zhao to go to Jinling to inspect whether the ancestral mausoleum was neat.

With these three wills, the three most powerful princes who competed for the crown prince were either demoted or released.

At this time, in the court, there is no one who can threaten Yan Wang Jia Mu.

And since then, Jia Ke has taken him to his side and called him to handle government affairs at any time.

Sometimes they even directly hand over government affairs to him to see how well he can handle affairs.

And Jia Mu did not live up to Jia Ke's hopes, although he has not participated in the battle for the heir over the years, but in fact, this is a wise fool, Long Qianyuan, and now once he has Jia Ke's trust, he immediately shows his talent.

He handled all the government affairs that Jia Ke handed over to Jia Mu in an orderly manner.

To be honest, Jia Mu is much stronger than Jia Ke in handling government affairs.

After all, Jia Ke has traveled from modern times, and he has stubborn modern ideas in his thoughts, so it is inevitable that some things in handling government affairs are somewhat incompatible with ancient times.

Jia Mu is different, he was born in this ancient period, although he was taught by Jia Ke, but he is still an ancient man's thoughts in his bones, so he is more thoughtful in handling government affairs, and he is closer to the thoughts of ancient people, so he handles government affairs like a fish in water.

And Jia Ke, after a period of observation, has to admit that Jia Mubiao is stronger, if he doesn't have a golden finger, he can't keep up with his son.

Now Jia Ke can be regarded as relieved, in the original time, Jia Ke just doted on Jia Mu, and did not expect him to have such a talent, now Jia Ke feels that his vision is really good, and he can rest assured that he will hand over this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to him in the future.

And as time went by, the civil and military officials also began to slowly accept Jia Mu, and everyone now tacitly believes that this King Yan is the candidate for the emperor in the future.

Therefore, now Zaiyan Wangfu can be said to be a good city, and almost all the ministers of the court have to go to visit every once in a while, so that they can show their faces in front of the future emperor.

And Jia Ke can also understand this kind of thing, if it was before, Jia Ke would have cleaned up these people a long time ago, but now that he has decided to pass on the throne, he ignores this matter, and even adds fuel to the fire to help this Jia Mu expand his strength in the court.
