Chapter 373

Shan Ning insists that it's OK. After drinking a cup of hot tea and comforting the imperial concubine, she goes to see her son again. Then she drags a heavy step back to rest.

The next morning, Prime Minister Jiang sent someone to send him a letter of worship, inviting his restaurant to a banquet, saying that there was something important to discuss.

Shan Ning accepted the post and asked people to reply that he would go to the banquet on time.

When it comes to this matter, it is impossible for Prime Minister Jiang to be unaware of such a big stir. There are only two reasons for looking for him now, one is warning, the other is cooperation.

For so many years, he has been carrying such names as "wolf ambition" and "treacherous and sycophantic". Now many people regard him as an anti thief who always wants to usurp power. Therefore, for Prime Minister Jiang, the only way to save himself is to drag him into the water.

The lunch was very sumptuous. He was the only one in the room. He gave Prime Minister Jiang a bow with a smile. "Prime minister, you are so elegant. How can you remember to invite me to dinner today?"

Prime Minister Jiang said with a smile, "by chance, I learned from the dog that when I fell into the water when I was a child, I had to be rescued by my highness. Although it has been so many years, I have to repay the kindness of saving my life."

"That's not necessary. Jiang Shi has already paid back."

Prime Minister Jiang poured wine for him in person, laughed and talked to him politely for a long time. Finally, he talked about Jiang Fan's case, "I don't know how your highness recently turned out the old case to investigate. At that time, several officials in charge of the case were also subordinates of the minister. I was still puzzled when I heard the news a few days ago, but I think about it carefully, but there is something else in this case?"

Shan Ning put down the cup, rubbed his thumb at the mouth of the cup, and his smile gradually solidified in the corner of his mouth. "Prime minister, now that we're talking about this, you and I don't have to beat around the bush. Jiang Fan, a little magistrate, doesn't have the courage to do such a thing. He's just a ghost, but who pushed him out..."

He looked at the prime minister and didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was very clear.

Shan Ning admits that he has an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. As the chief inspector, it is his fault that he did not find out the truth. Although it is too late to reverse the case now, the truth must be revealed to the world.

Prime Minister Jiang pursed his lips and was silent. After a while, he asked him, "is your highness willing? Willing to make a match for his fifth highness, willing to go on like this all his life? You are the eldest son of the emperor. You should have been granted the crown prince. The throne should have been yours. Your fifth Highness has the ability, but it's too easy to be sentimental. Because a woman has done so many ridiculous things that she could have taken the opportunity to take over the state of Zhao. But how does her fifth highness do it? The ducks in the mouth have been released, and they even have to support Wang Guorui to ascend the throne. If they are handed over to such people, sooner or later they will die! "

Shan Ning raised a corner of his mouth. "So what the prime minister means is to fight back?"

"No, I just want to help your highness get back everything that should belong to him."

"Why help me?"

Prime Minister Jiang was silent for a while. Then he looked up and sighed. From the past, he said, "the empress was kind to me. In the past, I was too humble to say anything in the court. Now that I'm prime minister, I can't watch your highness suffer this injustice."

Shan Ning rubbed his eyebrows and said, "the prime minister said it was all for me?"

Prime Minister Jiang opened his robe and knelt down on the ground. "The heart of a minister, heaven and earth can learn from it. I hope your highness will find out!"

"Since it's for me, why do you keep all this from me?"

"If you are not careful, you will be doomed. I will pave the way for your highness. If you succeed, I will honor your highness. If you don't succeed, it's also my fault. It has nothing to do with your highness."

Shan Ning stroked his chest, leaned back and sighed, "have you ever considered the consequences when you do this? Treason is the crime of punishing the nine ethnic groups. What about Jiang Shi and Jiang Duo? They are your sons, and you want them to die with you? "

Premier Jiang usually looks at people who can't speak loudly, but now he is also full of blood. "Everything you do will be sacrificed. As long as your highness can succeed, this sacrifice doesn't matter."

"It doesn't matter?" Shan Ning wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh. "It doesn't matter to sacrifice her son. After hearing the prime minister say so, I began to wonder. How did the mother help the prime minister in those years to let the prime minister sacrifice her son to help me sit on the throne?"

However, Prime Minister Jiang was silent for a long time. At last, he didn't answer Shan Ning's question. "At this time, I have to send it. What your highness can do is just to wait quietly. I will give it to you."

Shan Ning didn't know what he was thinking. He coughed for a while. He picked up his glass and said, "prime minister, since it's for me, it's really bad to be kept in the dark. You've tied me to you quietly. You always have to give me time to prepare."

Prime Minister Jiang's eyes brightened and he looked at Shan Ning in surprise. "Your Highness..."

"If I think about it carefully, it seems that I have no choice. I have come to this stage and have to go ahead with a stiff head." He went over and patted Prime Minister Jiang on the shoulder. "It's hard work, Prime Minister."

Prime Minister Jiang, as if greatly inspired by the general, busy way, "for your highness, I do anything at all!"

"Go back first. I want to be alone." Prime Minister Jiang retreated contentedly. After he left, Shan Ning sat there drinking muggy wine and said softly to the door, "come in." The door opened with a squeak, and the guard stood Jiang Shi, pale as if he had lost his soul. He clenched his fists tightly. Although he could not see the expression on his face clearly, he was shocked and unbelievable“ You've been following me since I left the house. You're not bad at Kung Fu. Have you heard what I just said to your father? " Jiang Shi came in, closed the door, picked up the wine pot and poured it into his mouth. After two mouthfuls, he blushed. "What you just said... Is it true or false?"“ What do you think? " Shan Ning snatches the wine pot from Jiang Shi's hand, coughs twice again, turns his back to Jiang Shi, takes out his handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth, and after wiping it, folds it twice and tucks it into his sleeve. Jiang Shi shook his head, "I don't know." Shan Ning made a sad expression and raised the corner of his mouth to smile bitterly. "So you don't believe me? Do you think I'll fight with your father? "“ I... "He is in a mess now. His father, who has always respected and prided himself, is actually an anti thief. He has been secretly discussing treason behind everyone's back. Even for the sake of treason, he even says that he should have sacrificed his son without any guilt. Jiang Shi felt that the sky above his head collapsed.
