As King Jia Mu of Yan gradually became more involved in government affairs, civil and military officials gradually began to accept the future emperor.
After all, Jia Mu left the imperial court to study at the age of five, and several great scholars from the Hanlin Academy taught him carefully. If it were not for the noble status of King Yan, he would have been able to take the imperial examination.
And for some reason, Jia Ke was very optimistic about this son and liked him very much.
In this way, Jia Ke gradually handed over all the government affairs of the court to the king of Yan, Jia Mu. Except that he did not hand over the military power to him, the king of Yan, Jia Mu, could almost be said to have become the emperor in advance.
Since Jia Ke had that dream, his health began to gradually deteriorate, which made Jia Ke very puzzled.
You must know that Jia Ke's kung fu has been practiced to the core. He is called a human being. Logically speaking, although Jia Ke cannot be said to live for hundreds of years, he can still live for a hundred years. I didn't expect that he would be able to live for a hundred years.
When I was over 60 years old, my health suddenly failed me.
Sometimes when Jia Ke is alone in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, he will also think of the words of the earth in his previous life: magical powers are no match for the heavens.
Just like this, another year passed, and Jia Mu's position in the court became more and more stable.
When Jia Ke saw that time was almost up, he immediately found an opportunity to divide Jia Mu into the crown prince.
Then Jia Ke used poor health as an excuse to hand over all court affairs to Jia Mu, and gradually relaxed his military power to Jia Mu.
And Jia Mu did not disappoint Jia Ke. He was much more familiar with the art of emperors than Jia Ke, and he was able to handle the government with ease.
When Jia Ke saw that Jia Mu was getting more and more mature, he completely let go and moved to the Ningshou Palace where the Emperor took care of himself.
After Jia Ke moved to Ningshou Palace, he sent an order to Jia Mu to start working in Yangxin Palace.
Just like this, when the Chinese New Year was about to come, Jia Ke drank a few more glasses of wine one day and sweated a little. As a result, he caught a cold and then had a high fever. Fortunately, he was very powerful in martial arts and had an imperial doctor.
With constant care and various miraculous medicines, Jia Ke's life was barely saved, but from then on, Jia Ke's body collapsed.
At this time, Jia Ke began to understand more and more what was going on in that dream. It seemed that God had given him a reminder to make preparations in advance.
If it hadn't been for that obscure dream, I'm afraid now I still think that I will live a long life, and I won't be in a hurry to establish a prince. When the time comes, I don't know what will happen to those three troublesome people.
That night, Jia Ke still didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. He didn't know what was wrong. Maybe he got less sleep as he got older. Jia Ke now became more and more fond of thinking about his current and past lives in the dead of night.
Suddenly, that ethereal feeling appeared again, and Jia Ke once again felt that his separated body came directly to the sky, and then went deep into a place filled with white light.
Jia Ke didn't feel any sound around him, but he knew vaguely that someone was talking to him, telling him that he would be here for three days and asking him to prepare early.
Then Jia Ke fell rapidly again and returned to his physical body. This time Jia Ke woke up and was not covered in sweat as frightened as usual.
After Jia Ke woke up, he did not have any fear. Instead, he had a smile on his face. This life was worth it. He had enjoyed everything he should have enjoyed. He had also received the highest honor a man could get. What was there to regret?
Woolen cloth?
The next day, after Jia Ke woke up, he immediately announced that all his sons and concubines would come to Ningshou Palace to have an audience.
Jia Ke's decree immediately caused a sensation in the entire court. Everyone knew that Jia Ke was in poor health. Now he suddenly summoned all the princes and concubines. It seemed that he was going to hand over the will. At the same time, they also knew that this soldier
The Emperor of Yan, who had created such a great foundation in his life, was about to die.
By noon, all Jia Ke's sons had arrived, including the imprisoned King Jia Zhi of Chu.
These princes, led by Prince Jia Mu, knelt in the square of Ningshou Palace and waited for Jia Ke's call.
After a while, there was a ring of jingle bells outside, and then several white-haired women came in, followed by some young, beautiful, and in their prime.
When the prince saw these women coming in, he hurriedly turned around and knelt down to salute them.
It turns out that these people are all Jia Ke's still living women. Now only the imperial concubine Xue Baochai, the good concubine Chun Cao, and the Hui concubine Naren Gaowa are left. Several other concubines have died before Jia Ke, and some Jia Ke
The women of Cosina are not worthy of publicity.
Among those people, the imperial concubine Xue Baochai has the highest status. Over the years, she has been in charge of the phoenix seal in the harem and is almost the queen.
Xue Baochai just walked in first, nodded to the prince and others, and then entered Jia Ke's palace with several concubines behind him.
After Xue Baochai entered Jia Ke's bedroom, he looked at Jia Ke again and saw him sitting on the bed with a red face, not looking sick at all.
When Xue Baochai saw this, she was not only not happy, but her heart sank. However, she remained calm on the surface. She went up to bow to Jia Ke first, then stood up, sat beside Jia Ke's bed, and said with a smile: "I'm looking at you, my concubine."
Your Majesty looks very good today, I guess it’s because the recuperation you’ve been doing during this period of time has paid off.”
Jia Ke and Xue Baochai have been married for so many years, and he could tell at a glance that Xue Baochai was not sincere, but he did not point it out. He just stretched out his hand to grab Xue Baochai and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, Baochai, for taking care of me all these years."
"What did the emperor say? Isn't this what a concubine should do?"
The smile on Jia Ke's face did not stop. He gently touched Xue Baochai's no longer soft hand, and then said to Li Gui who was standing aside: "Declare the decree."
After receiving Jia Ke's instructions, Li Gui bowed and took a few steps back to the front of the courtyard and took out a copy of the imperial edict.
Seeing this scene, several concubines in the palace, including Xue Baochai, quickly fell to their knees.
"The emperor is entrusted by heaven, and the edict says: Xue Baochai is a virtuous and virtuous man, and thanks to Roujia, he is the emperor's kind edict. He is specially appointed as empress Xue Baochai, and is known to the Sixth Palace. I admire this!"
Xue Baochai was stunned after hearing the content of this imperial edict. This was something she had dreamed of for decades. She originally thought that she would never become a queen in her life, but she didn't expect that at this time, Jia Ke would actually make her a queen.
For the queen.
But after all, Xue Baochai only stayed in the harem for so many years. She just stayed for a while, then woke up immediately, and then kowtowed to Jia Ke to thank her. After that, Li Gui handed the imperial edict into Xue Baochai's hands.
Jia Ke looked at Xue Baochai, who was already gray-haired, and felt uncomfortable in his heart. If he wanted to say which woman had spent the longest time with him over the years, it was only Xue Baochai. Although she had some utilitarian intentions, she always thought of herself.
Ever since Xue Baochai took charge of the harem, matters in the harem have never troubled Jia Ke.
Jia Ke waved to Xue Baochai, and Xue Baochai quickly came to Jia Ke's bedside.
Jia Ke smiled and said to Xue Baochai: "I have worked hard for you these years. I'm afraid it won't be long. Leaving you this imperial edict is also a guarantee."
As soon as Xue Baochai heard what Jia Ke said, the tears in her eyes could no longer stop. She already understood what Jia Ke meant.
Now things are very clear, Jia Mu will definitely ascend the throne and become the emperor, and after Jia Mu becomes the emperor, his biological mother, Concubine Chun Cao, will naturally become the empress dowager.
As a result, Xue Baochai, as the imperial concubine, would have to bow to Chun Cao when she saw her in the future. However, Xue Baochai had been in charge of the harem all her life and suddenly subordinated herself to others. She could not bear it, so Jia Ke had this imperial edict.
As long as Xue Baochai is granted the title of empress, then even if Jia Mu becomes the emperor, he will have to respect Xue Baochai as the mother empress dowager. The mother empress dowager is still one step higher than the mother empress dowager, so Xue Baochai is still the most noble woman in the harem.
Jia Ke patted the crying Xue Baochai's hand, and then said to Li Gui on the side: "Send the princes to come in."
Li Gui also had tears in his eyes, bowed and saluted Jia Ke, and then slowly left the palace and came to the square of Ningshou Palace.
"Princes, the Emperor has an edict to announce that all princes will come to see you."
When the dozen or so princes kneeling outside heard the order, they all, led by Prince Jia Mu, entered Jia Ke's bedroom in Ningshou Palace one by one.
As soon as these people entered Jia Ke's bedroom, they immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live my father."
After these princes kowtowed to Jia Ke, Jia Ke did not ask them to stand up. He just looked at them with his head lowered and said, "I know that not long ago, you have already opened mansions and established government agencies. Some of you have even become
As the king of a country, after I am no longer here, you must respect Heaven and the Patriarch, and you must not rely on power and act recklessly."
After Jia Ke finished speaking, the princes below hurriedly knelt down and said together: "I don't dare."
Jia Ke didn't know whether what these people said was true or false, but he didn't care about it anymore.
"Prince, come to me."
After hearing Jia Ke's words, Prince Jia Mu hurriedly knelt a few steps forward and came to Jia Ke's side.
Jia Ke looked at such a son in his prime and sighed. If possible, he really wanted to live another five hundred years.
After receiving Jia Ke, he took out a jade box from his pillow and handed it to the prince solemnly, "This is the jade seal that was taken back from the Tatars in the same year. It will be handed over to you now."
Already."
Prince Jia Mu took the imperial seal, gently placed it beside him, and then kowtowed heavily to Jia Ke several times.
Jia Ke smiled and continued: "Our mausoleum has been prepared for many years. The late empress Qin Keqing has never entered the mausoleum. After my death, you will preside over the ceremony and bury Qin Keqing with me."
"My son obeys the decree." After Prince Jia Mu said these words, his face was already filled with tears and he couldn't cry.
Jia Ke saw Jia Mu crying so much that he couldn't help but touched his head and said with some blame: "What's there to cry about? Everyone is destined to die, and I am no exception. As long as you take good care of the country, I can survive even if I go underground.
