After rebirth, the regent did whatever he wanted to her

Two months later, Beijing

"Goldman, this general's mansion is really full of talented people!"

The emperor sighed as he lay in his rocking chair.

Eunuch Gao, who was serving at the side, nodded. Isn't it true? The Xiao family alone occupied two of the top three places in the autumn examination. It was no small matter that the second young master of the Xiao family won the top prize, after all, he was a famous talent in the capital.

However, the fourth young master Xiao, who had been found a few years ago, surprised everyone by actually getting the third place in the imperial examination!

"The Emperor is right!"

Eunuch Gao replied.

"You said that this general's mansion used to only have military generals, and now there are two civil officials. Isn't this a bit too much?"

The retired emperor frowned. He felt that if the General's Mansion continued to develop in this way, their royal family would have difficulty controlling it.

Eunuch Gao was so frightened when he heard this that cold sweat broke out on his body.

The emperors of every dynasty have had the idea that their achievements surpass their master's, but it is different now!

You should see who else is in the general's mansion besides those good guys!

What a miracle doctor!

Just based on his status, if you are not obedient, he can kill you with just a flick of his finger, not to mention the regent. When you see the regent, you are like a mouse seeing a cat. If you still want to find trouble, you'd better go to bed!

Eunuch Gao said quickly, "Your Majesty, the Xiao family is a pillar of our Great Zhou. Moreover, in this autumn examination, both of the Xiao family's sons are so outstanding. This is a blessing for our Great Zhou."

The retired emperor narrowed his eyes and thought secretly in his heart.

He naturally understood the important position of the Xiao family, but he could not ignore the importance of the balance of power.

The Xiao family now has both literary and military talents. If they are not restrained, they may be difficult to control in the future.

"Your Majesty, the Regent has been gone for almost half a year. Logically, he should be back soon."

Eunuch Gao looked at the restless thoughts of the retired emperor and continued speaking.

"how do you know?"

The emperor glanced at him and asked.

"Your Majesty, you forgot that the second son of the Xiao family will marry the daughter of the Duke of Sui soon. The princess must come back!"

Eunuch Gao said quickly.

You should stop now. It's fine if the Regent knows you have this idea and he can just teach you a lesson. But if the princess gets to know about this, you will be in great danger if not dead!

"Humph!"

The emperor snorted coldly, closed his eyes and was too lazy to speak.

Eunuch Gao was relieved to see this. After all, he was too old to endure the hardship!

imperial study room

Si Ziyan is playing chess with Xiao Qianze.

Si Ziyan looked at the boy in front of him who was obviously seventeen or eighteen years old, but he always could not see through him. But after a few conversations, he felt that he had met him too late.

"Qianze, congratulations."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Qianze replied respectfully.

"Qian Ze, I told you not to be so polite when you and I are together."

Si Ziyan said helplessly. He felt that Xiao Qianze was good in every way except that he was a little too reserved.

"The relationship between ruler and subject cannot be abolished!"

Xiao Qianze said seriously.

"You, ah, whatever you want!"

Si Ziyan gave up directly.

"Your Majesty has lost."

Xiao Qianze said a word, raised his head and said lightly.

Si Ziyan looked down at the chessboard and put the chess piece back with a depressed look on his face. "Qian Ze, how did you practice your chess skills?"

"I didn't practice much, I just looked at the chess manuals in my spare time."

Xiao Qianze said seriously.

Si Ziyan: “…”

Can we still have a good chat? He has loved playing chess since he was a child and has studied with a teacher for several years, but he can't even beat someone who just casually looks at the chess manual. This kid must be doing this on purpose!

"Then can you lend me your chess manual?"

Si Ziyan said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I can't obey your command!"

Xiao Qianze refused without thinking, that was given to him by Xiaoqi, no one could lend it to him!

Si Ziyan: “…”

It's really frustrating for him to be the emperor!

I can’t even borrow anything!

"Ahem, Qianze, I haven't asked you yet, where among the six ministries do you want to go?"

"Your Majesty, if possible, please allow me to go to the Supervisory Office."

Xiao Qianze stood up and pleaded.

"Why?"

Si Ziyan was a little confused. The Supervisory Office was a thankless job. You would either offend people or have no political achievements.

"I want to do something practical for Dadong and the people." Xiao Qianze said with a righteous face.

Si Ziyan looked at him, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes, "Okay, I promise you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will definitely live up to your trust!" Xiao Qianze knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Okay, get up now."

Si Ziyan was really defeated by his rules.

"By the way, when is your second brother getting married?"

Si Ziyan simply changed the subject and asked.

"The sixth day of October."

Xiao Qianze answered.

"Okay, I'll also ask for a glass of wedding wine that day."

Si Ziyan said with a smile.

Xiao Qianze frowned slightly. He wanted to refuse, but then he felt that it was inappropriate. "Yes, I will wait for your Majesty to come!"

"Alas, why is your cold personality the same as the Ninth Uncle? You are obviously not very old, but you always give people a feeling of being old-fashioned." Si Ziyan couldn't help but complain.

Xiao Qianze showed a bitter smile. How could he compare with the Regent? The Regent was like the bright moon in the sky, and he was just a speck of dust on the ground.

If Xiaoqi hadn't pulled him out of the abyss, he might have been a pile of bones now.

"By the way, I heard that you have a third brother?" Si Ziyan suddenly asked.

"Yes, third brother Xiao Qianxuan." Xiao Qianze answered truthfully.

"Why have I never seen it before?" Si Ziyan asked curiously.

"Third brother likes the martial arts world and often travels outside." Xiao Qianze explained.

Si Ziyan nodded, "I see."

The two chatted about some other things until the sun set and Xiao Qianze left the palace.
