Chapter 220 Cousin
How could Qin Xiao fail to see that the Queen Mother's words were wrong?
Ever since he became the regent queen, the queen mother has been guarding against him, fearing that he will support himself.

So people change.

When the first emperor was alive, the empress looked so virtuous, but now she looks like she values ​​power very much.

After once again showing that he was only assisting the little emperor under the order of the former emperor, Qin Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to the empress dowager's inconsistency, let the little emperor study every morning, and let the little emperor follow him to handle state affairs in the afternoon.

The little emperor was very smart, Qin Xiao didn't treat him like a child, he discussed everything with him, let him come up with his own ideas first, praised if he did well, and didn't criticize him when he didn't do well, let the emperor's teacher explain the reason to the emperor, After several months like this, those voices who questioned Qin Xiao's intention to control the government gradually disappeared, and even the Queen Mother had nothing to say.

Although Qin Xiao didn't limit the little emperor's growth, he took the little emperor very seriously and wouldn't let people with ulterior motives approach him, and once he caught someone with ulterior motives, Qin Xiao would dismiss him unceremoniously Dismissed from office, those who ransacked their homes, those who were exiled.

After killing chickens and respecting monkeys several times, the imperial court worked together and gradually eliminated the impact of the war.

In the blink of an eye, it will be May next year.

The king of Zhennan returned to Beijing on the grounds of being unwell and submitted a memorial to the little emperor for retirement, which caused shock in the court.

You must know that among Qin's generals guarding the border, King Zhennan is the one with the most noble status and the one who has guarded the border for the longest time.

Whether it is in the hearts of civil and military officials or in the hearts of ordinary people, King Zhennan is very important.

Now that he submitted the application for retirement pension suddenly, people were a little confused about his intention for a while.

Is this really wanting to retire or is there an ulterior motive?

The little emperor also murmured in his heart when he saw the memorial handed over by King Zhennan.

When Qin Xiao asked for his opinion, the little emperor naturally tried his best to persuade him to stay, expressing his reluctance.

Qin Xiao looked at the little emperor with relief: "You are handling it more and more calmly now..."

After praising the little emperor, Qin Xiao asked the little emperor to agree to his father's application for retirement. The reason was naturally that his father was already old, and he had served Qin for so many years, so he should enjoy the blessings.

Seeing that Qin Xiao spoke so seriously, the little emperor drew up a pen and approved Zhennan Wang's application for retirement.

The civil and military officials were surprised to see that the little emperor really approved Zhennan King's application for retirement. After the little emperor approved Zhennan King's application for retirement, he really believed in Qin Xiao's heart that Qin Xiao really helped him without selfishness, even with the name Changed from the previous regent to the emperor's uncle, his attitude has become much more intimate.

Qin Xiao didn't see through the little emperor's change, but he just casually brought up the issue of the commander of the Southern Border Army.

A country cannot be without a king for a day, and an army cannot be without a commander for a day.

Now that King Zhennan has stepped down, the Southern Border Army should have a new commander.

The little emperor asked Qin Xiao: "Is there anyone to choose for my uncle?"

Qin Xiao proposed to promote one of the existing lieutenants, so that he can go to the post directly without having to deal with the army. As for the specific candidate, it is best to listen to the opinion of King Zhennan, after all, no one knows the lieutenants better than him.

The little emperor accepted Qin Xiao's proposal and personally went to Zhennan Wangfu to ask Zhennan Wang's opinion.

King Zhennan recommended Chen Sheng, his first lieutenant, to the little emperor.

Chen Sheng has followed him since he was a teenager, and he taught him bit by bit. If he were to recommend him, there would be no more suitable candidate than Chen Sheng.

The little emperor nodded without saying a word and agreed to Zhennan Wang's recommendation.

Soon, Chen Sheng, who was far in the south, received an imperial edict from the emperor.

Not to mention how happy Chen Sheng was after receiving the emperor's appointment, the little emperor once again mentioned the matter of letting Qin Xiao set up another family after sending the imperial edict to Chen Sheng.

Although the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is big, it looks small if there is another regent.

Besides, Qin Xiao is under one person, how can he not have his own palace?

This matter was mentioned when the little emperor first came to the throne, but Qin Xiao refused on the grounds that it was not appropriate to carry out large-scale construction during the national mourning period.

Now that the first emperor has passed away for almost a year, the little emperor thinks that the address can be selected first, the decoration drawings and decoration materials are ready, and the construction can start after the first emperor has passed away for one year.

Qin Xiao doesn't care about this. His family is small and deserted. If he goes out on his own, it will be even more deserted.

When the little emperor heard Qin Xiao say that it was deserted, he nodded like a grown-up, saying that Qin Xiao's mansion was indeed too deserted. How could the majestic regent have only one wife?It should be a group of wives and concubines...

Qin Xiao heard that the little emperor said that he would give him a beauty, and asked him if he thought there was too little homework?

He dared to take care of his backyard, he thought it was too little homework.

The little emperor, who was so overwhelmed by his homework every day, immediately admitted his mistake.

Qin Xiao warned the little emperor: "You can just say this in front of the king, but don't let your aunt hear it. If your aunt hears it, even if you are the emperor, she will still hit you. Jin, ordinary people can't bear it, and this king can't save you when the time comes."

The little emperor shuddered when he thought of Jiang Ning's fierce reputation, he apologized to Qin Xiao and asked him to keep it a secret, but don't let his aunt know that he wants to give the uncle a woman, otherwise his life will be in danger .

Qin Xiao smiled: "Now I know I'm afraid? Why did you go so early? Let's not be an example."

The little emperor couldn't help being curious: "Uncle Huang, are you willing to give up all the beauties in the world for Aunt Huang? Although Aunt Huang is very beautiful, there are too many beautiful girls in this world. When you see others hugging each other, you feel uneasy. Are you uncomfortable?"

There is a saying that the little emperor didn't dare to say, Jiang Ning is beautiful, but also extremely fierce, such a woman, ordinary men can't stand it.

Qin Xiao: "You are young and don't understand. If one day you meet a girl you really like, no matter how beautiful the other girls are, they won't be able to attract your interest."

The little emperor thought for a while and felt that he couldn't understand Qin Xiao's feelings. Besides, he was the emperor and would have Sangong and Liuyuan in the future. It was impossible for him to give up all the girls in the world for a girl.

Although the little emperor had no intention of giving Qin Xiao a woman, the others did not.

Ever since Qin Xiao became the regent, colleagues came to test him from time to time.

Even if Qin Xiao sternly refused, there would always be people who would not give up, even the queen mother wanted to give Qin Xiao someone.

No, today the queen mother brought her natal cousin to Qin Xiao in the name of coming to see her son.

When seeing the Empress Dowager's natal cousin, Qin Xiao couldn't help but take a few more glances. Without him, the Empress Dowager's natal cousin actually looked somewhat similar to Jiang Ning.

Seeing that her cousin had successfully attracted Qin Xiao's attention, the queen mother quickly introduced her to Qin Xiao:
"This is Lin Wan'er, my cousin from Ai's natal family. The family is afraid that Ai's family will be lonely in the palace, so they specially let my cousin come into the palace to see Ai's family. It's really intentional."
