Just after leaving the palace, when Xiao Wu asked Adrian Xiao to get on the carriage with him, Wang Juming also followed out of the palace in a sedan chair with his people.
When he saw the Xiao father and son who had not yet left, he immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty took pity on my age and inconvenience in walking, so he specially granted me a sedan chair to travel. I didn't have time to congratulate Prime Minister Xiao and General Xiao."
"No, from now on you should call me Lord Xiao. Lord Xiao has defeated the Tule army this time, which is even better than what I have done before."
Once they passed the palace gate, officials were not allowed to ride horses or sedan chairs, unless they were granted a sedan chair by Emperor Henry.
Wang Juming's words were meant to make fun of Xiao Wu, who was favored by Emperor Henry and was given special permission to ride in a sedan chair in the palace.
