After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

The founding emperor of the Da Chong Dynasty was eager to build his empire in his early years, and he never paid attention to household affairs, leaving them all to his wife.

The founding emperor's original wife was of humble origins, just an ordinary commoner from a humble family. She suffered a lot with the emperor in her early years. She also gave birth to two sons and one daughter for the founding emperor. However, the couple had a good relationship.

At that time, the eldest son, who was only eleven or twelve years old, was intelligent and talented, but unfortunately he was killed by the enemy during the war. The only remaining second son was regarded as important as the apple of the eye by the founding queen.

However, a young bird that has not experienced wind and rain cannot grow into an eagle. The second son, who was regarded as the lifeblood of the founding queen since childhood, was raised to have a gentle and honest character.

If it were an ordinary family, where the child who was not intended to inherit the family business was raised with a gentle and honest character, or to put it bluntly, a good person who was easy to bully, it would be a great blessing.

But if he is the emperor's biological son, or the legitimate son who is ranked first in line to the throne to the next emperor, this would not be a good thing.

As a qualified emperor, even if he cannot be decisive in killing people, at least he cannot be gentle and honest, like a good guy who is easy to bully. That would be very easy to be controlled by others. Over time, if the minister is strong and the emperor is weak, there will be big trouble.

After the founding emperor had conquered his country, he looked back and found that his eldest son, who was originally an excellent heir, was dead. He was also not very fond of his second son, who was gentle and not outstanding compared to his brother.

It's fine for the second son to be an honest and good-natured prince, but no matter how you look at it, he will never become a qualified emperor.

However, throughout the dynasties, the system of primogeniture was basically implemented. If there was a legitimate son, the eldest son would be the heir. If there was no legitimate son, the eldest son would be the heir. This was to avoid disrupting human relations and upsetting the order of the court, which would easily lead to unrest in the country.

So in terms of inheritance rights, the second son, who is a gentle and honest person, is naturally the undisputed first heir.

The founding emperor, who was not satisfied with this heir, actually thought about changing the crown prince. However, none of his illegitimate sons were as talented as his eldest son, and each of them had the support of his own family.

The founding emperor hesitated for a long time and could not make up his mind to change the crown prince because the whole body was affected by the change.

In the end, under the advice of his most trusted old ministers, the founding emperor did not replace the crown prince, with whom he was not very satisfied.

The old ministers advised the founding emperor that although the prince had a gentle and honest character and might not necessarily become an excellent king, he was not completely without advantages. At least after such a gentle prince ascended the throne, the founding emperor would not have to worry about the lives of his other sons.

If a bastard became the next emperor, the legitimate son would most likely be wiped out.

Moreover, at the end of the previous dynasty, corrupt officials were rampant, and coupled with natural disasters and man-made calamities, the people were displaced and could not even get enough food. They had no choice but to revolt. After that, they experienced decades of war. Not to mention that nine out of ten houses were empty, more than half of them were empty.

Now that the world has finally come to an end, the country needs to recuperate, encourage people to have children and produce, and fill the empty treasury.

If there were another king who was determined to expand territory, I'm afraid the people of the world would not be able to bear it.
