The eldest son of the red mansion

At the same time, Mother Jia also fought in the harem all her life, knowing that Shi Xiangyun was too much of a threat to others, so she sent several experienced nuns to Shi Xiangyun's Zhongcui Palace to take charge of Shi Xiangyun's diet and daily life.

And Jia's mother's worry was not unreasonable. When the news of Shi Xiangyun's pregnancy reached Chengqian Palace, Xue Baochai was smiling and happy on the surface, but in fact she had already torn several handkerchiefs secretly.

From Xue Baochai's point of view, her son is already the crown prince in the palace, and those other people are not on the stage and cannot compete with her child.

But now that Shi Xiangyun is pregnant, the situation is different. Although she is now an imperial concubine, she is a head taller than Shi Xiangyun, but it is just because Jia Ke sees that she is capable, so it is convenient for her to take charge of the harem.

In terms of strength in the harem, Xue Baochai is no match for the Empress Dowager Jia Mu in Ningshou Palace.

With Jia's mother helping Shi Xiangyun, it was too much of a threat to his son's succession in the future, so Xue Baochai wanted to use his power to let Shi Xiangyun go to the west early.

Who would have thought that Xue Baochai suffered a disadvantage this time, before the men she sent were close to Shi Xiangyun, they were spotted by the old mothers beside her, and then these people came out of the palace. disappeared.

After that, Mother Jia killed the eunuch in charge of the Yushanfang on the grounds that the food made by the Yushanfang was not to my taste.

You must know that the eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room, but the person appointed by Xue Baochai himself, is now being executed in front of so many people, so this is slapping Xue Baochai in the face.

And Xue Baochai had to go to Ningshou Palace to apologize to Jia Mu. After all, she was in charge of the harem and did not serve the Empress Dowager well. No matter what the reason was, it was her fault.

But Mother Jia didn't give Xue Baochai any face at this moment, she just made her kneel outside Ningshou Palace for nearly an hour before sending her back.

After this incident, Xue Baochai also understood that she could not afford to offend Jia Mu in the harem, so she could only die down.

It was also in this year that Shi Xiangyun finally gave birth to a son she had been looking forward to for a long time—Jia Ming, king of Zhao.

Since the birth of her son, Shi Xiangyun's temperament has immediately subsided, and she is no longer as lively as before. Now she has nothing in her heart except her son.

The Empress Dowager Jia Mu paid more attention to Shi Xiangyun's son, and personally chose a nanny and a nurturing nanny for her. If it weren't for Shi Xiangyun's inseparable son, Jia Mu would want to hold this child in her arms Raised by the side.

The people in the palace also saw the clues, and now the most promising successors in the harem are the sons of the imperial concubine Xue, King Qi Jiahui, and the sons of the noble concubine Shi, Zhao Wang Jiaming.

But now it seems that the two sides are evenly matched. One mother is the imperial concubine in charge of the harem, and the other is backed by the empress dowager. Now no one can do anything about it, just look at Jia Ke's attitude when they grow up.

Chapter 796 Kangshun 45 Years

Time flies, the years are long, and decades have passed in an instant, and now it has been 45 years in Kangshun.

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

With Jia Ke's reform of official administration and the development of sea trade, the tax revenue of the court has also increased. Now after all the expenses of the court are used up every year, a balance of 4000 to [-] million taels can be left. It never happened.

In the previous dynasties, it was considered a prosperous age if the annual tax revenue could cover all the expenses in the second year. How could tens of millions of taels of silver be saved for later use.

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

A few years after Jia's mother passed away, Jia Zheng also died of illness, and finally entered the imperial mausoleum in the western suburbs as the emperor as the ancestor of their branch.

After Jia Zheng passed away, the Queen Mother's life became even more difficult. She had always been at odds with Jia Ke, and Jia Zheng was there to support her, but now Jia Zheng is no longer there. , but was constrained everywhere, and soon died of depression.

And to say that the most blessed person in the harem is Jia Ke's birth mother, the Holy Mother, the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Although the empress dowager came from a low family background, who made her give birth to a good son, she has been in a happy mood since Jia Ke ascended the throne, and she has been in good health for so many years, and she is nearly 80 years old now.

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 first attached to the empress dowager.

As a result, the Empress Dowager Zhou still didn't last long, and she left Jia Ke the year before last. Since then, Jia Ke has suffered from a serious illness and did not fully recover until three months later.

If these are small things, then the most important thing in the court now is Jia Ke's successor.

For so many years, I don't know what happened to Jia Ke, but there has been no crown prince.

So the sons of Jia Ke below, who thought they had some identities, peeped at this precious seat and tried their best to show it in front of Jia Ke.

But Jia Ke looked at these sons like watching a play, fighting openly and secretly. As long as they didn't make too much noise, Jia Ke never interfered.

And the ministers below also saw Jia Ke's thoughts, Jia Ke was like raising a gu, and wanted to choose the most desirable one among his sons.

Therefore, many ministers with far-sightedness did not get involved in the real fights of these princes, because they knew that Jia Ke hadn't made up his mind yet, and they were relying on these princes for the future, and if they failed, their wealth and lives would be lost.

Besides, among these sons of Jia Ke, the most active ones are the son of Imperial Concubine Xue Baochai's son Qi Wang Jiahui, the son of Imperial Concubine Shi Xiangyun's son Zhao Wang Jiaming, and the son of Liang Concubine Qiaolian's son Wu Wang Jiamao.

These three princes fought openly and secretly for the position of the crown prince. Apart from directly fighting, they used all kinds of tricks and tricks.

Not to mention, their mother's family behind them also started to contribute, and these three families are now fighting fiercely in the court.

Fortunately, Jia Ke controlled it properly and did not give too much power to the three families, so if they wanted to fight, it was only a small fight, which did not affect the court situation.

In King Jing's mansion, Jia Amnesty has passed away. Although Jia Lian is now King Jing, everything in the mansion is under the control of Wang Xifeng, and Wang Xifeng's son is also the son of King Jin. After Jia Lian's death, he will be able to It is justifiable to be in charge of Prince Jing's mansion.

But Jia Lian was naturally not reconciled to this kind of thing, after all he knew that this son was not his own.

Therefore, Shangjia Lian made troubles several times, wanting to pass on the position of son to his own and second sister You's own children.

But this matter is not up to him. Jia Ke was furious because of this matter. It was once at the top of the court that he scolded Prince Jing for using his concubine to oppress his wife.

Because of Jia Ke's resolute attitude, he immediately frightened Jia Lian. From then on, he never dared to mention the matter of changing the son. He didn't embarrass Jia Lian too much, and directly named a county king to Jia Lian's own son, which was considered to save face for him.

But Jia Baoyu in Prince Fu's mansion was a coward. Ever since she married that Fan Chunxia, ​​she has no status in the mansion. All the affairs in the mansion are handled by this Princess Fan, but Jia Baoyu His temperament is a piece of dough, and he didn't care too much about Princess Fan's handling of the affairs of the mansion. Instead, he put his mind on poetry and prose, and made friends with some romantic talents among the people. loud.

And Jia Lan in Rongwang's mansion has not given up studying since he inherited his father's title of King Rong, so his reputation among scholars is no worse than Jia Baoyu's.

Only Jia Huan lived honestly in his Prince Kang's mansion, and he didn't cause any romantic affairs, but he was also prosperous and rich all his life, with a lot of children and grandchildren.

On this day, Jia Ke had just celebrated his 65th birthday, returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, closed his eyes, 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 and didn't know, so he followed the call of the voice, like flying in the vast sky, and came to a void in a short while.

There is no matter up, down, left, or right in this void, but for some reason, Jia Ke felt a wave of will surround him.

There was no sound coming from all around, and Jia Ke felt that the sound told him that his birthday was coming soon, so he had to prepare quickly.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden pulling force and anger, which directly pulled Jia Ke back to his body from the void, and Jia Ke felt profusely sweating when he woke up.

Although it was a dream, Jia Ke felt that what happened just now was too clear. She was thinking about how all these years, she didn't know whether it was luck or something. No injuries.

Now that Jia Ke thought about it, it was probably some god who gave him a dream, telling him that time was running out and he should make plans earlier.

Thinking of this, Jia Ke felt irritated for a while. Jia Ke was not afraid of death, because Jia Ke had died once in the previous life, and had traveled through the six reincarnations.

Now that he knew what would happen after death, he naturally no longer feared death. What annoyed Jia Ke now was that there was not much time left for him, and he hadn't removed the obstacles for the successor.

Just like that, Jia Ke woke up in the middle of the night, sat on the bed and thought about it until dawn, and finally had to make a decision. It seemed that he had to be ruthless. It's going to be a mess.

So on the second day, Dachao suddenly announced that King Jia Mu of Jin won my heart and changed his title to King Yan.

When this bomb was thrown out, the court was immediately blown to pieces.
