Chapter 380 (1/2)

On the first day of the lunar new year, ordinary families visit relatives, but there is no such tradition in the imperial family. After new year's Eve, the Yamen of each department began to prepare for the Spring Festival.

Prime Minister Jiang is also ready to take advantage of this opportunity. At the last critical moment, Prime Minister Jiang finds Shan Ning and decides with him how to act next, what name to enter the palace, and even how to support General Zhang.

After hearing this, Shan Ning sighed, ”the prime minister is really well prepared.”

”To be a king and defeat the enemy, we have to think about everything. We can't fail. Once we fail, we will lose all our lives.”

Shan Ning nodded, ”it's a good saying. If it fails, there will be nothing left. The prime minister's two sons, and my newly born winter solstice, will be gone as soon as the family order comes down.”

Prime Minister Jiang is very satisfied with Shan Ning's reaction. His success at the game at least shows that he has not played in vain for such a long time. All his efforts are worth it.

”But I have another question. I think about it day and night, and I really want to know.”

”Your Highness wants to know something, but it doesn't hurt to say so.”

”The prime minister said that all this was done for me. He also said that it was to repay the empress's kindness to you. I just want to know what kind of kindness the empress had to the prime minister that year.”

With a sigh, Prime Minister Jiang recalled the past with some sadness. ”I was just a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam. I was poor. When I was selling calligraphy and paintings on the street, I was caught in a heavy rain. I hastened to clean up the room and got in the way of the queen. The bodyguard kicked me down. But the queen didn't blame me and asked me to show her calligraphy and paintings. At that time, I was afraid to disturb Fengjia, and my hands were shaking, But the empress did not blame me. She praised me for my calligraphy and painting. She bet that I would win the gold medal

Sighed, and then said, ”at that time, I was penniless. I almost had to sleep on the street. It was the queen who bought my paintings, so I had money to eat and drink.”

It was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. She was elegant and natural. Her actions and actions were comparable to those of the painting fairy. He was stunned at that time, and the queen didn't blame her. Later, he saw the queen again. It was at the test banquet after the Title of the golden list. At that time, the emperor asked people to write poems about peony. He thought about the queen when he wrote poems, After it was written, it was sure that it was the only way to get rid of all the people.

But when he is in the limelight, he is sure to be envied. Immediately, some people come forward and say that his poem is suspected of desecrating the queen. Everyone knows that peony is the metaphor of the emperor to the queen. Other people praise it when they write poems. Only he shows his communication with the Emperor, and the implication is clear. It's really easy to leave a handle on others.

At that time, he was about to be pulled down and beheaded. As a result, the queen looked at the poem and said with a smile, ”the idea is novel and the reading is fluent. I like it very much.”

When the queen was happy, the emperor was so elated that he pardoned him on the spot.

At first, Prime Minister Jiang was not a big official. He was just a seven grade official with a bigger sesame and mung bean. Apart from the banquet, he didn't have a chance to see the queen again. But when he met twice, the queen had been deeply engraved in his heart, which made him think about it day and night, and he wanted to see her again and again.
