The black-bellied prime minister's red makeup

Chapter 17 Self-talk in front of the emperor

Since it was useless to ask him, Xia Hanming had no choice but to go to the palace to explain everything to the saint early the next morning and beg the emperor to withdraw his order.

The emperor summoned Shen Qingnan to the palace after knowing that the son of the Wang family whom he was referring to was a fool.

In the main hall of the bedroom.

Originally, when he first found out about this, Xia Hantuo was very angry, thinking that he would never tolerate it and take it seriously when he became the prime minister, but Shen Qingnan, who was dressed in a court uniform, appeared in the hall and knelt down respectfully and said, "Meet the emperor" His anger suddenly disappeared like that, without even the slightest sign.

Laughing helplessly in his heart, he looked at Shen Qingnan who was kneeling in front of him, Xia Han withdrew his eyes and asked softly, "Prime Minister, I ask you, do you know that the son of the Wang family is mentally retarded?"

"know."

Since the emperor hastily called him into the palace today and asked about this matter, it means that he already knows everything, so lying will only backfire.

Puzzled, the emperor Xia Hanche asked again: "Since you know, why do you want me to marry General Ye's daughter to him? What do you mean?"

"emperor"

Gongshou Shen Qingnan spoke in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Although the son of the royal family is not fully intelligent, the royal family is one of the best in terms of financial resources in the capital. Now our treasury is not very full. If there is a natural disaster somewhere, we can only do nothing. However, if General Ruoye and The royal family gets married, and when the country needs money again, the Wang family can make more contributions, so the minister is thinking of the country and the emperor, if the emperor still blames the humble minister, then the humble minister is willing to accept the punishment."

Xia Hanche was quite moved by the sincere feelings in every word.It turned out that everything his prime minister did was for his sake and for the sake of the country, but it was his emperor's fault that he sent him into the palace without even thinking about it because he obeyed others' words.

Hastily walked down from the upper seat and helped the kneeling Shen Qingnan up Xia Hanche and said: "What's wrong with the prime minister's heart for the court and the country? It's my fault. I blamed you."

With such an advanced distance, why did his emperor come to help him? He was clearly here to hug him.

Embarrassed, she stepped back and left Xia Hanche's embrace. Shen Qingnan smiled: "The emperor is also concerned about the courtiers. Of course it's not wrong. It's the humble minister who didn't make it clear before. Does the emperor have anything else to do? If there is no humble minister, I have to go back and deal with some things."

He didn't want to stay for even a minute, because every time the emperor looked at him with the kind of eyes that stared at the prey, it would make his scalp numb and feel uncomfortable.

I wanted to stay with the prime minister to play chess again, but seeing that he said that his subordinates still had matters to deal with, they finally gave up and allowed him to go back.

General Ye's daughter and Wang Yuanwai's son finally got married, and after learning that the idiot she would marry was the prime minister's trick, Ye Mantian swore that one day she would make that Shen Qingnan's life worse than death.

Shen Qingnan originally thought that when King Xuan came back, he would definitely use all means to suppress the Wen Party so as to increase the power of the Military Party in the court, but seeing that Xia Hanming had been back for almost three months, not only did he have no intention of suppressing the Wen Party, but he would often Befriend the Wen Dang by attending Wen Dang banquets and gatherings.

This made Shen Qingnan, who had always been smart, wise and cautious, a little confused, unable to figure out what exactly Xia Hanming was going to do to him.But there is nothing wrong with being on guard at all times.

There is an ancient saying: the lotus is a gentleman, it emerges from the mud without being stained, and it washes the clear ripples without being demonic.The center is straight and the outside is straight, without vines or branches.

And now it's July, and He Lian is blooming just in time, so many ministers who love lotus organized a lotus appreciation meeting, and the place was set at the residence of Chen Haoran, an older generation of Taifu who has retired.

Chen Taifu is an old minister, who was the former emperor, the brother of the first emperor, and the teacher of the current emperor and prince.

Because of his honesty and integrity, after his retirement, the current emperor gave him a house for the elderly and built a lotus pavilion for him in the other courtyard of his house to plant his favorite lotus.

Hearing that the officials planned to come to his mansion to watch the lotus together, the kind and hospitable Old Madam Chen agreed, so the officials who met the next day came to Old Madam Chen's house one after another with their prepared things. mansion.

Shen Qingnan was the first one among all the officials, because Old Madam Chen and his grandfather, Shen Shi, the first prime minister of my dynasty, were close friends of eight obeisances, and old Madam Shen treated his father and him just like he treated himself. Shen Qingnan, who has not been here for almost a month, came to visit early with a heavy gift.
