Chapter 219 The Regent

Qin Xiao sent the message to the queen in advance to let the queen have a psychological preparation.

Because the emperor's corpse is not afraid of damage in Jiang Ning's space, so this journey is a hasty march.

On the third day after the queen received the news of the emperor's death, Qin Xiao and his party returned to the capital.

After the queen got the news, she immediately ordered civil and military officials to enter the palace to have an audience.

At this moment, all the courtiers with some status have already got the news.

Many courtiers couldn't believe it.

But they couldn't believe it anymore, and everyone rushed to the palace to have an audience.

At this time, the empress no longer hid the news of the emperor's death from the concubines in the harem.

Not to mention how the concubines in the harem reacted to the news, Qin Xiao and Jiang Ning went straight to the palace after entering Beijing.

After seeing the queen and all the civil and military officials, Jiang Ning took out the emperor's body in front of everyone.

Because the emperor was put into the space as soon as he died of illness, even the corpse was still soft at this moment, but the officials in charge of the funeral didn't care about the magic, and hurried forward to cleanse and change the emperor's clothes...

As for the queen and all the civil and military officials, they had already knelt down to cry.

After the emperor was put into the coffin, Jiang Ning took out the imperial decree that the emperor passed the throne to his son and made Qin Xiao the regent.

The emperor was only ten years older than Qin Xiao, and he had seven or eight children, but only two sons, one was the concubine born to the empress, and the other was the prime minister's daughter, Miss Du, the concubine born to concubine Du.

None of the civil and military officials had any objection to the emperor passing on the throne to his eldest son.

However, many ministers questioned the emperor's appointment of Qin Xiao as the regent.

You may have no objections if you seal Zhennan King as the Regent, but it would be outrageous to make Qin Xiao the Regent.

Can he do it?
Among the voices against Qin Xiao, there are mainly those who simply feel that he is not qualified, and those who have different political stances and want to benefit for their own interests.

Qin Xiao said that he had already rejected the emperor, but the emperor felt that he was competent.

If the ministers have doubts, you can talk to the emperor. If the emperor says he is not good, he will resign, or if the queen thinks he is not good, he can also resign.

After all, husband and wife are one body, if the queen wants to dismiss the emperor's appointment, he has no objection.

Of course the queen would not dismiss the emperor's order.

Firstly, this was an official order from the emperor, and she had no right to change it even as a queen.

Secondly, she can trust Qin Xiao's character in her heart, and the Zhennan Palace and the Western Region Army behind Qin Xiao will become the backing of their mother and son, she is stupid to push Qin Xiao out.

Because the queen has no opinion, even if other people have opinions, they can't make waves.

A country cannot be without a king for a day, so Qin Xiao put the 11-year-old little emperor on the throne the next day.

This time, the neighboring countries did not act rashly because of the alternation of the throne.

After all, they paid a terrible price for the last time they acted rashly.

They don't want Qin to prove its strength again.

But doing nothing is impossible.

Since the facts have proved that strong attack is not enough, then outsmart it.

Beiwu Kingdom was the first to send a visit request through the peace talks.

Simon has already broken the country so I won't mention it.

After other neighboring countries got the news, they also sent requests for visits one after another.

Qin Xiao knew that these people must have come to inquire about the situation.

If they feel that Qin is easy to bully, they will definitely go back and prepare to go to war.

So they must not let them feel that Qin is easy to bully.

Regarding the visit requests from neighboring countries, after discussing with the ministers, Qin Xiao felt that it would be better to receive them together than to receive them one by one.

So Qin Xiao sent an invitation letter to everyone, inviting neighboring countries to come to the little emperor's first anniversary at this time next year.

With this name, the diplomatic issues that should be resolved will have to be properly resolved.

Not to mention how the countries reacted after receiving the letter, let's say that a year passed without knowing it.

Because of the national funeral, Jiang Ning's 16th birthday was very deserted, but now her and Qin Xiao's identities are different from the past, even if they don't make arrangements, the gifts that should be given by each household are still delivered early. Even the palace sent congratulatory gifts.

Jiang Ning didn't bother to pay attention to these, and directly let the housekeeper handle it for him and then told himself the result.

The butler is an old man in the palace, and he is always good at dealing with these things. With him around, Jiang Ning is much more relaxed.

Since Qin Xiao became the Regent, he was so busy that he went out early and returned home at night every day. Seeing that he was so busy that he lost weight, Jiang Ning was so frightened that he regained his salty heart.

She didn't want to be so tired like Qin Xiao.

When it came to Jiang Ning's birthday, Qin Xiao specially gave himself a day off, and specially cooked a bowl of longevity noodles for Jiang Ning.

After Jiang Ning finished eating the noodles, Qin Xiao didn't go anywhere, just chatting with Jiang Ning at home.

Although he used to be a bit of a fool, but since he became the regent, he is no longer his original self.

Those who questioned him in the court were all abolished or expelled by him for reasons.

Without those barbarians, Qin Xiao felt that even breathing was sweet.

It's just that there are endless excerpts every day, which is too tiring.

Jiang Ning suggested to let the little emperor watch it together.

At the young emperor's age, he can almost read all the characters that should be recognized. Let him study hard in the morning, and learn to handle government affairs with him in the afternoon.

Although he is the regent, he doesn't need to do everything for the emperor. If he does too much, it may make people suspect that he has ideas about the throne. It's better to do less, as long as he is responsible for protecting the little emperor's safety and guiding him properly. , not only for himself, but also for the little emperor.

Moreover, the little emperor will take over all tasks in the future, so it is good for him to get in touch with him earlier, and it will also silence those who question whether he will use his status as the regent to make the little emperor his own puppet.

Qin Xiao felt that Jiang Ning's words made sense, and was so happy that he would ask the little emperor to help him read the memorial from tomorrow.

What Qin Xiao and Jiang Ning didn't know was that at this moment, the queen, no, the queen mother was also teaching the emperor how to get along with Qin Xiao.

The Empress Dowager's father was the Imperial Tutor and had many disciples in the court, so the Empress Dowager was not worried that no one in the court would support her son.

What she is worried about is that Qin Xiao will become obsessed with power in the future and refuse to let go.

After all, power can make people crazy, and with the strength of Qin Xiao and King Zhennan, if Qin Xiao wanted to rebel, it would be easy.

Just in case, the Empress Dowager began to teach her son how to get along with Qin Xiao and how to lower Qin Xiao's vigilance.

Although the emperor was young, he knew everything.

This is the royal child, generally precocious.

But what the queen mother and the emperor didn't expect was that Qin Xiao made a plan for the emperor the next day, asking him to study in the morning and learn to deal with state affairs in the afternoon.

The queen mother was very happy when she found out, but she politely asked Qin Xiao whether it would be too early to let the emperor handle state affairs now?
