The black-bellied prime minister's red makeup

Chapter 5 Carrying him into the court

Hastily followed, Xia Hanming reached out to him again but was still beaten back by him.

When they came to the steps, Shen Qingnan had inconvenient legs, so she could only jump up step by step while holding on to the stone railing on the side.He bit his lip with a stubborn face, and combined with his height, which was much shorter than the average man, he looked like an irritated little daughter-in-law.

Shaking his head, Xia Hanming behind him smiled helplessly.Walking behind him with big strides, regardless of whether he wanted to or not, she bent down and hugged him horizontally.

The sudden departure from the ground shocked Shen Qingnan, and when he saw the person who was holding him up, he seemed to have turned into a lamb waiting to be slaughtered and struggled in panic.

"What are you doing? Let me down quickly, do you hear that, let the prime minister down quickly!"

As if he couldn't hear it, Xia Hanming tightly held him in his arms, then straightened his back and looked straight ahead, stepping up step by step.

"King Xuan, you and I, a man of seven feet tall, entered the hall like this and let all the civil and military officials see how dignified he is, let me down quickly."

"I'm a seven-foot boy and you're barely five feet."

Shen Qingnan was taken aback by the words that came faintly from above her head, but when she understood, her face darkened and she struggled even more joyfully.

"Xia Hanming, let me down quickly, and I order you, as the prime minister, to let me down quickly."

"You and I have the same status, you have no right to order me."

"you……."

Just like that, King Xuan, the head of the military party with an evil smile on his face, hugged the still struggling prime minister, the head of the Wen party, and slowly walked into the hall under the stunned and unbelievable eyes of the emperor and all the ministers.

Very gentlemanly put Shen Qingnan in his position, and then Xuan Wang Xia Hanming returned to his position, stood still, then cupped his hands and said to the emperor sitting above him: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Shen was accidentally injured by this king when he came. , can he be allowed to sit up and face court?"

"The emperor doesn't need it, I..."

"Prime Minister's leg is hurt? Come on, move the chair and let the Prime Minister sit down."

Before Shen Qingnan could finish his refusal, the emperor called out to the eunuchs behind, and then two eunuchs carried a purple sandalwood carved chair and slowly walked towards him, and placed the chair lightly and steadily on the chair. behind him.

At this time, the emperor sat up straight and announced to everyone: "Because the prime minister's legs and feet are inconvenient, you can sit and go to court until the prime minister's legs recover. At the same time, all the courtiers of the prime minister are exempted from kneeling."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was startled, and the originally quiet and serious hall suddenly burst into discussions from all the ministers.

The establishment of the Xia Qing Dynasty for a hundred years has countless heroes and soldiers, but no official has ever received such high treatment in the past century, even the first generation of Xiaoqi General, who was the founding hero of the country, never exempted courtiers from bowing down when they were in the court, let alone Sitting facing the emperor.

Everyone knows that the current emperor loves Prime Minister Shen, but he did not expect to love him so much.

Shen Qingnan also froze in place after hearing this decree, raised her head and looked at the aloof emperor in disbelief.

Although his leg was injured, it was not to the point where he had to sit and worship. How could the emperor make such a decree, and the current situation made him either sit or not, or he was really terrified.

Seeing that Shen Qingnan hadn't sat down for a long time, the emperor's body slowly leaned towards him, and her voice was not at all the gentleness of an emperor.

"Prime Minister sit down."

The simple four words made Shen Qingnan tremble even more.He also knew that the emperor doted on him, but he didn't expect to speak to him so tenderly, and it was in the court hall. The kind of doting and gentle tone when he was talking to the woman he loved made him panic, and he almost wanted to find someone. The gap was drilled down.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, the emperor sat up straight again and said to the officials: "It was hard for King Xuan to bring the prime minister in, so these few days, like the prime minister, there is no need for courtiers to bow down."

Why did he almost forget that the two parties must be treated the same, otherwise what will happen if they fight?
But after all, King Xuan's legs and feet are in good health, so it is unnecessary to go to court while sitting, but it is necessary to avoid courtiers kneeling, otherwise the prime minister, who is a prince, would kneel while sitting, and the military party must not overthrow the court.

The officials of the military party who were still somewhat dissatisfied with this decree had nothing to say.So the eunuch on the high platform raised his head and shouted, except for the prime minister who was sitting and King Xuan who was standing, everyone knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor, and everyone shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
