Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 802

"Uh……"

Seeing Zhao Wei who was clearly extremely excited, Qi Bokun was momentarily at a loss for words.

What should he say, so as not to pour cold water on Zhao Yu?
He could only remain silent for now, and wait for Zhao He to calm down before speaking.

In fact, he didn't need to speak, just seeing that although he had a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, most of Zhao He's excitement went away.

Zhao He suppressed his smile and asked, "What's wrong with Aiqing? Could there be something wrong with doing this?"

Qi Bokun shook his head: "The emperor's arrangement is beneficial to the community, so there is nothing wrong with it. But, have you considered Du Jinning? He has no foundation and no support. He has come to Beijing and is in such an important position. What will he do?" The end? The aristocratic family can stretch their hands into the palace to attack the eldest prince. It is completely easy to kill a small courtier. Du Jinning is dead, the emperor, are you still going to make trouble with the aristocratic family for him? So his death will be in vain .”

Again this question.

Zhao Yu suddenly became irritable.

As the emperor, he was restrained, he dared not do anything, and he had to be careful about everything.He really had enough of this kind of life.

"Then what do you think? You can't let a talent like Du Jinning go for nothing, and assign him to a distant province? If that's the case, what's the point of being an emperor?"

"If you want others to sacrifice their lives, you must give them a lot of kindness." Qi Bokun said, "Although the emperor wrote a letter to Du Jinning last time, the emperor knew the effect. Why don't you replace the letter in Du Jinning's hand with a pill?" Book iron coupons. This kind of alchemy iron coupons are rewards that can only be obtained by meritorious service in the founding of the country or military generals. Du Jinning’s research on high-yield rice has improved the overall national strength of the entire Song Dynasty, so that foreign enemies dare not act rashly, which is beneficial to future generations , even more credit than those military generals. The emperor rewarded her with the iron coupon of the Danshu, which is an affirmation of her great achievements. Presumably Du Jinning will be grateful to the emperor, and he will not hesitate to do so."

"Pill book iron certificate?" Zhao Wei frowned and said, "Why do you want this thing?"

Unless Du Jinning is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, based on her merits, the royal family will not kill her in this life.In other words, this thing is completely useless to Du Jinning.Giving a useless thing to Du Jinning as a reward, Zhao Yu felt that it would be good if it was him, not to mention being grateful, but not to feel resentful.

"Du Jinning was very happy when the emperor gave a handbook last time. She said at that time that if she could get an iron coupon of the alchemy book, she would have no regrets in this life." Qi Bokun lied without any pressure, "The emperor may not understand what we do. The thoughts of my subordinates. For example, as a veteran, I have no shortage of money, enough food and clothing; no matter how big or small an official position is, it is enough to serve the emperor and the court. But if I can get an iron certificate of Danshu, I will have nothing else to do. Please. Just imagine, is there anything more important to us than life in this world?"

Afraid that Zhao Wen would misunderstand him, he quickly added: "Of course, the old minister has no merit, so he dare not expect to get this thing; but Du Jinning's great achievements that will benefit thousands of generations, he is fully qualified to obtain an iron certificate of Danshu."

Zhao He thought about it, and felt that what Qi Bokun said was reasonable.

Qi Bokun continued: "Besides, the emperor thinks about it from another angle. Du Jinning is only 16 years old this year. If she lives a long life, she will live at least four to fifty years. She has only been an official for a year or two, and she has made such great achievements. The emperor directly promoted her to the position of third-rank or university scholar. Then, what will she do next? What will the emperor reward her for? Could it be that she is going to be knighted? What should I do? There is no reward, and the merit is overwhelming, but she is loyal to the emperor, so the emperor wants to chop off her head?"

It's okay not to say this, but when he thought about it carefully, Zhao Wei broke out in a cold sweat.

Yes, as an emperor, the most fearful thing is that there is no reward for his subjects.Once this happens, it means that the minister can no longer be controlled, and the country is in danger.There is no other way but to kill him.

But if he really killed Du Jinning, the spittle of the common people could drown him, and he would also bear the infamy of killing donkeys and not distinguishing right from wrong in the history of history, and his infamy will last forever.

"So your majesty, this time, you really can't elevate Du Jinning's official position too high. You just need to raise it up, at most from the fifth-rank official, and then give her a Danshu iron coupon. She advises the emperor to participate In the battle with the family, I was also afraid that the family would use her as a bargaining chip, and I was even more worried that she would spend all her energy and effort, but in the end, her meritorious service would outshine the lord, and the emperor chopped off her head. Giving her an iron coupon of the alchemy book was a reward for her great achievements. The confession reassured her heart. From now on, she will definitely give all she has to assist the emperor and help the emperor achieve great achievements for thousands of years."

These words really moved Zhao Wei.

"Thanks to Aiqing's dedication to me, otherwise I will make a big mistake." Zhao Yuqi Bokun was very grateful.

He knew that Qi Bokun liked Du Jinning and treated Du Jinning like his grandson, not to mention that Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan had an unclear relationship.

But Qi Bokun was able to negate Du Jinning's high-ranking officials and rich salary for his sake, which shows that Qi Bokun was wholeheartedly treating him well.In Qi Bokun's mind, no matter how much he likes Du Jinning, he is not as loyal to him.

It is his luck to have such a loyal minister.

"Aiqing." These two words, Zhao Yu yelled sincerely, "It's up to you."

"However, I'm afraid it will be more difficult for the aristocratic family." He said worriedly.

"Don't be afraid." Qi Bokun said with confidence, "Let our people propose the position that the emperor said first, and the aristocratic family will definitely oppose it; then let the neutral people propose the matter of rewarding the iron certificate of Dan Shu. With those official positions for comparison, the aristocratic family would definitely prefer Choose the latter. After all, they want to do something against Du Jinning, so they don't care whether he has the Iron Book of the Alchemy or not; and with you, the Emperor, the Iron Book of the Alchemy is useless. This thing is actually a false name."

"The most important thing is that Du Jinning has made such a great contribution, no matter how ignorant the aristocratic family is, they don't dare to say anything and don't give rewards. If they dare to say such a thing, there is no need for the emperor to say too much, just rely on the three inches of the veteran An incorruptible tongue can spray him to death." Qi Bokun was impassioned.

If you dare not let Lao Tzu's granddaughter-in-law regain her daughter's status and marry into the Qi family, I will beat you to death!

"Okay, then do it like this." Zhao Yu patted the table and made a decision.

"The emperor will leave this matter to the old minister." Qi Bokun was still worried, and took the whole matter on himself, "It is best to settle the matter before Du Jinning enters the capital, and she will directly announce the reward as soon as she arrives in the capital. Only then does it appear that the emperor's grace is mighty."

"Okay, everything is entrusted to Aiqing." Zhao Mo cupped his hands.

Qi Bokun was taken aback, and quickly avoided the body, saying "I dare not".

The monarch and his ministers discussed the details again, Qi Bokun left the palace and went directly to the homes of several ministers to discuss the matter with them.
