Jiang Mingyue looked at her stunned brother and said with a trembling voice: "Minghong, congratulations!"

Jiang Minghong slowly came back to his senses, looked at his sister with red eyes and smiled. All the efforts he had made day and night in the past were worth it at this moment.

"Where's Brother Shen?"

"Master Shen is Huiyuan."

Knowing that Shen Yu was Huiyuan, the two siblings were sincerely happy for him. Considering that the messenger who announced the good news would go to Yuqian Hutong to announce the good news later, the two siblings returned home immediately.

One month after the general examination was the palace examination, Xie Yuan, as a veteran, taught Jiang Minghong some experience, and even remanded a test question based on his understanding of the emperor, and told his younger brother how to answer in order to win the favor of the emperor.

In early May, during the palace examination, after Jiang Minghong knelt down, he couldn't help but glance at Song Ming. At this time in his previous life, Song Ming had been lingering on the sick bed for two years and had long stopped interfering with the affairs of the court.

Several consecutive illnesses in this life have made him look old. Although Song Ming is still fine now, his body may not be as good as before.

Jiang Minghong looked away, took the paper from the official's hand and opened it. When he saw the last question, his pupils shrank slightly, and his brother-in-law guessed it right. The last question was about whether to establish a prince.

Jiang Minghong glanced at the people around him and saw that everyone's faces were turning green. He curled up his lips and calmed down to answer seriously.

After the imperial examination, Jiang Minghong returned to Yuqian Hutong and immediately explained the examination questions and how to answer them to Xie Yuan and his sister.

Jiang Mingyue turned to look at her husband with a slight smile on his face, and her heart suddenly fell to the ground. She knew that her brother Erjia was stable.

Not long after the imperial examination, Xie Yuan was called to the cabinet by Mr. Shen Ge, and had the honor to work with Jiang Shangshu and everyone from the Hanlin Academy to correct the examination papers.

Xie Yuan found that this year's test papers lacked flowery rhetoric. They were all practical people like him, and their words were meaningful. Some of the suggestions were very practical.

It is worth mentioning that Xie Yuan also corrected Shen Yu's test paper. He will definitely be one of the three tripods this year. It depends on whether the emperor is willing to let the Shen family have another top pick.

Xie Yuan thought of this and glanced at Mr. Shen Ge. Well, he knew that Mr. Shen Ge was planning to retire, so the title of No. 1 Scholar should fall on Shen Yu.

As for Minghong Sanding, it is difficult, but thanks to Tudou's contribution, the first place in the second division should be stable.

The facts turned out to be exactly what he had imagined. On the eve of the results of the palace examination, Shen Ji formally proposed to the Holy Emperor that he would step down from the position of chief minister of the cabinet.

Song Ming was shocked. He looked at Shen Ji with confusion and reluctance. You must know that Shen Ji was a capable minister who accompanied him all the way, so he tried many times to persuade him to stay.

"Your Majesty, I am getting old. I have become more and more depressed in the past two years. I can no longer help your Majesty. In the days to come, I plan to go to Hengshan Academy to teach and educate people. I hope to train some capable ministers for Your Majesty."

Song Ming originally wanted to say, why are you so old? You must know that you are two years younger than me, but looking at Shen Ji with white hair, Song Ming swallowed the words before he spoke.

After Shen Ji left, Song Ming couldn't help but stand in front of the mirror. He looked at himself in the mirror, touched the wrinkles on his face, looked at his half-white hair, and sat down slowly.

This is the first time Song Ming clearly realizes that he is old. How could this happen? Why is he old? He still hasn't done a lot of things, so why is he old?

This decadent emotion reached its peak when a young eunuch dressed him. This little eunuch's skin was so smooth, but what about himself?

On this day, Song Ming sat in the imperial study for a long time. He was like an injured old lion, licking his wounds alone.

On May 13th, as the results of the palace examination came out, Shen Ji once again submitted his resignation to the Holy Emperor.

Song Ming was not willing to do so. While the monarch and his ministers were at odds with each other, Jiang Mingyue and Xie Yuan went to Prince Ding's Mansion carrying heavy gifts.

The two parties had reached a tacit understanding long ago, so the marriage between Jiang Minghong and Princess Qinghe was quickly decided. It was the sixth day of September to get married. Three months is enough time for my parents to rush to Kyoto.

At the end of May, Jiang Mingyue saw that her husband was back, so she picked up the ice cream and handed it to him.

"Why are you back so late today?"

"Jiang Shangshu left me to talk for a while."

"But what's the matter?"

Xie Yuan did not hide his wife.

"After Mr. Shen Ge retires, Shangshu Jiang will take his place in the cabinet. In this way, the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue will be vacant. He wants to recommend me as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Hubu."

When Jiang Mingyue heard this, she looked at her husband in surprise, the thirty-three-year-old Minister of the Ministry of Finance?

"I thought about it and rejected it. It was not good for me to be promoted too quickly. Besides, I have only been in the position of Minister of Household Affairs for two years and my qualifications are not enough, so I'd better wait!"

When Jiang Shangshu said that, he was very emotional but very rational. Besides, the Holy Emperor probably didn't want him to be promoted so quickly. After all, he now has a sister who is a virtuous princess.

"Well, let's wait. Besides, I think it's pretty good in your current position. You can spare some time to spend time with me and the children. When you are promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Finance, it will be difficult to imagine what you are like now."

Feeling his wife's deep attachment to him in her words, Xie Yuan hugged her tightly in a good mood.

"Is Your Majesty planning to allow Mr. Shen Ge to retire and return to his hometown?"

"It should be soon. Jiang Shangshu's words today mean that the Holy One has relented."

Jiang Mingyue glanced outside and lowered her voice: "Because Mr. Shen Ge resigned, it was rare for the court to be stable for a period of time. Once Mr. Shen Ge resigned, the ministers may have to write to the Holy Emperor to appoint a prince."

She paused and asked in a low voice: "Ms. sir, you are always by your side. Does your Majesty have no intention of establishing a heir apparent?"

"Our sister is a virtuous princess, and even if your Majesty has ideas, you won't let me know. However, since Mr. Shen Ge resigned, your Majesty's mentality has changed a lot.

He never thought he was old before, but now he often looks at us in a daze. His Majesty is a wise king, and he cares about the world. When he wants to have a meeting and establish a bank, we just need to wait patiently. "

The position of the Lord of the World is not something you can just let go of. You have to give the Lord some time. Moreover, Master's return to Beijing is a signal. If the Holy One is reluctant to delegate power and ultimately shakes the country's foundation, Master will definitely take action.

In June, as Shen Yu and Minghong entered the Hanlin Academy, the emperor finally allowed Shen Ji to retire, and Jiang Shangshu took his place and was promoted to the position of chief minister of the cabinet and concurrently as the minister of household affairs.

In late July, Jiang Wen and Shen Bingxin came to Kyoto. They spent half a month preparing the betrothal gift. On August 20th, Jiang Mingyue accompanied her parents, carrying the eighty-eight-carat betrothal gift, and went there with noisy gongs and drums. Dingwangfu.

These betrothal gifts include gold and silver jewelry, as well as silk and satin. Most of them were brought over from Yuanjiang Mansion by their parents.

Princess Qinghe married at a low age, and she had such a bad marriage before her. Jiang Mingyue and the others didn't want to wrong her anymore, and they also wanted to build up her reputation.

After returning from the invitation, the wedding day came soon. Jiang Mingyue and her mother helped her brother put on the bright red wedding dress.

Jiang Minghong is already a beautiful girl, and wearing a bright red wedding dress adds a bit of elegance.

"Mom, how are you doing, sister?" Jiang Minghong smiled, hearty and sunny.

"My brother is so handsome!"

"Okay, good-looking!" Looking at the handsome son in front of her, Shen Bingxin was filled with emotion. In the blink of an eye, her son was also getting married.

"Have you changed your clothes? It's time to go greet the bride." Jiang Wen asked standing outside the door.

Jiang Mingyue saw that her father was already a little anxious, so she said to her younger brother: "Go quickly! Don't miss the good time."

"it is good!"

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Minghong mounted his horse and led a huge welcoming team to Prince Ding's Mansion.
