Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 790
Zhao He frowned: "But the severance of the document can't cut off the blood relationship, and the dead is the most important, no matter how bad his grandfather treated him, how can he sign the severance document? If Du Jinning and Ding You are not allowed at this time, they will be punished." The aristocratic family criticized me, saying that I have no regard for human relations."

Qi Bokun also knew that it was not a good idea to make a fuss about the severance document to win his love.

After all, Zhao Yu had killed and imprisoned a younger brother before ascending to the throne. The bloody method of seizing the heir apparent has been criticized all the time.So even though he was afraid of Zhao Chang, he still cared for him, let him go in and out of the palace freely, and let his mother and sister be more affectionate to him, it was also based on this consideration of reputation.

On the issue of Du Jinning, if he directly robs Du Jinning and Ding You of his affection because of the severance of the documents, he will definitely be attacked by the next family.

But for Du Jinning and Ding You, their pace of reform is bound to slow down, which is also very unfavorable to Zhao Hao.The struggle for power will never let up.Once Zhao He relaxes a bit, the aristocratic family will definitely take the opportunity to go further.This is like a tug-of-war, one step back, one step at a time, and in the end, no matter how ambitious Zhao He is, he is bound to become a puppet of the aristocratic family.

This is a dilemma.

"If Du Jinning doesn't report this matter, he doesn't need to discuss it in the court, and let it go quietly, it makes sense. After all, he signed the severance document with his grandfather." Qi Bokun frowned, "Guan Jiatian is Guan Le. He's son is in the relationship with Du Jinning and belongs to his own family; moreover, his memorial was not delivered through normal channels, it was delivered directly to the minister, who then delivered it to the emperor's case. Let's quietly withdraw this memorial Go down, and no one will know."

Zhao He thought so too.

It's just that he can't say these words.After all, it was he who didn't want to take risks and responsibilities. It would be unkind to put Du Jinning on her head and let her take the blame. Du Jinning was afraid that he would chill him.Qi Bokun put forward the suggestion, and if he pushes the boat along the way, there will be no problem.

But Qi Bokun is not only loyal to Zhao He, but also loves Du Jinning as his grandson.Once Du Jinning agrees to this matter, it may become a black spot in her life in the future.Based on the overall situation, he naturally did not stop Zhao Yu from throwing the blame on Du Jinning, but he needed to speak clearly before giving Du Jinning a promise or reward.

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Zhao Wei, and said in a very embarrassed way: "But paper can't cover fire. After Du Jinning is promoted and stands at a certain height, someone in the court will definitely use this matter to criticize him. Yes. It is difficult for an unfilial person to be loyal to the emperor, and not only will others deny his character, but the emperor will also be suspicious of him."

Zhao He also knew that Qi Bokun wanted to ask for a guarantee for Du Jinning.

He immediately said impassionedly: "Don't worry, Aiqing, I don't know what the truth is. Du Jinning reported Ding You, but I just took it out of consideration in the court. Du Jinning accepted it on my behalf. , I will naturally remember his merits. But he has not finished his work, so it is not good for me to reward him now. When he is done with the Runzhou matter, I will definitely count the merits and reward him, and give him a big reward."

With the promise made by the emperor's golden mouth and jade teeth, Qi Bokun felt relieved and said: "So, the emperor will hand over the memorial to the minister, and the minister will go talk to Guan Jiatian and Du Jinning."

Qi Bokun is Zhao He's right-hand man, and he is usually busier than Zhao He. Of course, it is impossible to leave the capital to go to Runzhou to discuss this matter with Du Jinning.And this matter should not be known to too many people.

Zhao He thought for a while and said, "Let Qi Muyuan go and explain to them."

These words hit Qi Bokun's arms.

When he got home, he told Qi Muyuan about it.

Qi Muyuan was restless after receiving Du Jinning's letter, and was about to go to Runzhou for a trip. Today, he has been arranging the things at hand all day.Hearing his grandfather's words, he was overjoyed.

What made him happy was not only that he could go to Runzhou, but also because of Zhao Huuduoqing's will.

Although he didn't know how Du Jinning planned for the future, he knew that if she didn't finish the work in hand, if she couldn't get the Danshu iron coupon, it would bring great obstacles to Du Jinning's recovery of women's clothing and her freedom to walk in front of others.Now is definitely not the best time for Du Jinning to leave the court.

If Du Jinning hadn't told him in the letter not to intervene in this matter and let Zhao Mou decide, he might have found a way to sway Zhao Mou's opinion.

But Zhao Wen was definitely not an idiot to be able to sit in that position.Once he acts like this, Zhao Yu will definitely notice something strange, and will have doubts about him and Du Jinning at that time.So doing this is quite risky.

And now, without them doing anything, things have gone their way.

Could it be that Du Jinning had already expected this ending?

Such an idea came to Qi Muyuan's mind.

"Tell me about the matter at hand, and go to Runzhou tomorrow morning." Qi Bokun said, "When you see Xiao Ning, tell him that you have sold the emperor's favor, and the new rice seeds he researched will be amazing. I will definitely ask for credit for his output, and I will also count this favor into it."

Qi Muyuan thought it was time to mention Du Jinning's matter to Qi Bokun.

He said: "Grandfather, the reason why Jin Ning asked to go to Runzhou to study farming is that she is talented in that area and can relieve the emperor's worries; , if it touches the interests of the family, if the family has nothing to do with the emperor for a while, it may take her to the knife. So I deliberately withdraw from the family's vision to protect myself."

Seeing that Qi Bokun frowned, he explained: "Grandfather, Du Jinning has no roots. It is too easy for the family to kill her. Just send someone to kill her. No matter how angry the emperor and you are, the family can't do anything about it. She died for nothing. To die is a meaningless sacrifice. She should think for herself. After all, everyone has only one life, and she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, so it is helpless to try to protect herself."

Qibo Kun nodded.

Indeed, ants are still stealing their lives, so why does Du Jinning sacrifice his life for others?He is only fifteen or sixteen years old. After studying hard for so many years, he has just started his official career. There are better days and more important things for him to do.Knowing the danger but not avoiding it, then he is not the Du Jinning he is familiar with.

Qi Muyuan observed his grandfather's expression, saw his brows stretched, and said: "Now, the emperor asked her not to go back to Ding You because of the Song Dynasty, this will definitely become an excuse for the family to attack. If the family decides to use this as an excuse to dismiss her as an official , and even asked the emperor to kill her for all kinds of crimes, the emperor and grandfather can't protect her, right?"

"Uh..." Qi Bokun was speechless.

Indeed it is.

He also knew that he had treated Du Jinning badly, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to do so.
