However, politically speaking, Du Jinning can understand Zhao Mei's approach.

Zhao Yu has just ascended the throne, and those families will inevitably observe his style of acting. If he is tough, the family may be more honest; As soon as he shows a little indecision, the family will immediately fight back, use all kinds of tough means and tricks to hold him down, and finally make him submit to the family's coercion, thus becoming a puppet emperor, under the control of the family, serving the family.

If that happens, the power and wealth of the Great Song Dynasty will be concentrated in the hands of the family, the imperial examination will lose its meaning, and the ordinary people of Li can only be exploited by the family, and their lives will be even more miserable.

Now Zhao Yu is using heavy penalties to directly behead Shen Langzhong's two families and raid their homes, this bold and tough ruthlessness will make the family dare not act rashly, after all, the military power is still in the hands of Zhao Yu; And other court officials will also wake up, tighten the string in their hearts, and prevent themselves from becoming a tool used by the family.

In this way, Zhao Yu was able to further consolidate his control over the court inside and outside the court, so as to focus on developing the social economy and making the Great Song Dynasty more prosperous and powerful.

This is completely consistent with Du Jinning's goal, which is determined to make the world free of hunger and make the Great Song Dynasty more prosperous and powerful.

Thinking of this, Du Jinning appreciated Zhao Yu more and more. She was glad she had met a bold monarch. Only by Zhao Mi's tough political purge will she be able to display her ambitions and means in agriculture, without having to think about how to protect herself in the turbulent political situation. After all, many of her agricultural suggestions would touch the family's interests, just like the original regenerative rice.

At this time, Zhao Yu's eyes fell on Du Jinning and praised: "Du Aiqing, you have handled this matter very well and performed very well." ”

Du Jinning's performance was completely unexpected by Zhao Yu.

Shen Langzhong and his father-in-law, one in his 40s and the other in his 60s, are both veterans who have been immersed in officialdom for decades, and they still don't have the slightest political vigilance, and they don't know that they are being used. And Du Jinning, a fifteen-year-old political chick, has not yet stepped into the threshold of his career, and he broke the tricks of the family in one word, and nip the situation in the bud with clean and neat means, this political acumen and ability to handle things simply made Zhao Yu dare not believe his eyes.

And just now, he killed three people in the blink of an eye, although Du Jinning was shocked and flustered, he quickly calmed down, and looked at him with that kind of admiration, as if he understood and agreed with his approach very much. This made Zhao Yu appreciate it even more.

If this is really Du Jinning's own ability, and she doesn't have any tricks behind her and is guided by others, then it is really a piece of jade. According to the talent and foresight she showed in the questioning, Zhao Yu believed that with careful cultivation, Du Jinning would definitely become a big help to him in the court in a few years. After Qi Bokun and these old men become officials, it is possible for her to take over their rights and become the number one cadre in front of him.

"The emperor has won an award, and Weichen is ashamed." Du Jinning arched his hand.

"Don't be too modest." Zhao Yu said with a smile, "You haven't gone to serve in the Hanlin Academy yet, so I can't promote you in an official position, I will reward you with one hundred taels of gold, twenty brocades, a set of four treasures in the study, and a few gold rice papers." ”

Du Jinning hurriedly thanked him.

Zhao Yu waved his hand and asked again: "Can you write the excerpt I asked you to write?" ”

This Du Jinning had already prepared, and as soon as she thought about meeting the emperor, she asked Aoki to go back and bring the excerpts.

She immediately took out the fold from her bosom and handed it to the eunuch next to her, asking him to pass it on.

Zhao Yu still has something to deal with, so naturally he doesn't have time to take a closer look.

He flipped through it roughly, put it down, and said, "I'll take a closer look when I have time." Alright, stand down. ”

Du Jinning did not retreat, but took a deep look: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask, can Weichen's words continue to be written?" ”

The manuscript of the script, she did not hand it over to Zhuang Yue for a long time, and it was for this reason.

Originally, her identity was not revealed, but she could pretend that she didn't know anything and continue to write a script for printing. Now everyone knows that she wrote the book, and Zhao Yu also deliberately asked her clearly, whether she asked Zhao Yu for instructions and continued to write without permission, it would not be good.

"Of course you can go on. But now many people follow your script, so what you write must be careful and cautious, and you can't write nonsense. If you cause the farmers to suffer great losses, I will punish you. Zhao said.

"The minister doesn't dare, but the minister obeys."

Relieved, Du Jinning said goodbye and left.

At this time, except for the eunuchs and palace maids, only Zhao Yu and Qi Bokun were left in the main hall.

Zhao Yu asked: "Do you know the details of Du Jinning?" What do you think about today's incident? ”

Although Qi Bokun was very dissatisfied with Du Jinning's bending of his precious grandson, at this time, he naturally would not say half a bad word about Du Jinning.

"The minister has watched Du Jinning grow up, and he knows everything about him very well." Qi Bokun said, and then picked out some of Du Jinning's affairs, and his words were full of praise.

The ministers have been getting along for many years, and Zhao Yu knows that Qi Bokun is not easy to praise, and at this time, seeing his praise for Du Jinning, he became more and more curious about Du Jinning. After Qi Bokun returned to the ministry, he took a closer look at Du Jinning's excerpts.

After Du Jinning came out of the palace, in order to avoid Guan Lehe's worries, he asked Aoki to go to the Ministry of Industry to have a look, and if Guan Lehe was there, he would report that he was safe, and she went home by herself.

When she got home, she began to write her script.

Every champion has been revised by the Hanlin Academy, even if she is anxious to become a peasant official, she can't raise objections to the emperor's gift at this juncture, and can only do it honestly for a period of time. But that doesn't mean she can't do anything. One of the most important initiatives now is to write a script and publish her agricultural ideas and concepts, as well as some planting techniques. When the time is ripe, she will mention it to Zhao Yu again and change to a farmer's office.

The next few days were very peaceful, the court examination went very smoothly, and Du Jinning also wrote a new book and handed it to Zhuang Yue to print.

On the day of 29 February, the Ministry of Officials also announced the arrangements for the second- and third-class new science and technology scholars. Guan Jiaze was admitted to Shu Jishi and entered the Hanlin Academy; Fang Shaohua was not admitted, and entered the household department as a nine-grade petty official; Xu Chengyuan was also assigned to a county in Huizhou to do the county order. Liang Xiankuan wanted to take charge of the Liang family, and it was inconvenient to go out, so he also sought a small official position in the ministry.

These are the results of the good articles they wrote during the morning exam, and with Qi Bokun's help, they all got their wishes.

After their positions were announced, Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan joined them and officially took office on the first day of March and went to the Hanlin Academy to take up their posts.
