Chapter 624: Demagogy
The reason why he didn't say it was because he remembered Du Jinning's shiny resume that almost blinded him.
The head of the county, the head of the court, the head of the government, the solution of the yuan, and the huiyuan. As long as Du Jinning has participated in the imperial examination, he is the first place.
As a prince who has helped his father deal with many state affairs for ten years, and an emperor who has been on the throne for more than half a year, he still knows the level of court officials very well. Although there are a few wine bags and rice bags that have become officials because of their ancestors, the vast majority of officials still have real learning.
The most important thing is that Zhao Yu is very confident in the heavy punishment for fraud in the imperial examination. When he was the prince, he secretly visited the examination rooms in many provinces during the imperial examination, and because the punishment was too severe, no one dared to do anything in the imperial examination.
Therefore, even if he doesn't believe Du Jinning, he should also believe the officials who took Du Jinning as the leader. He believed that those people's eyes were bright, and it was impossible for a childish man with no real knowledge to fool them and play with them in the palm of his hand.
If you say, this article was written by Qi Muyuan. With the power of Qi Bokun, Qi Muyuan cheated all the way, and there is still a little possibility. But this Du Jinning is obviously just a poor student, where does he get the energy to make all the officials give him the green light all the way and take him as the first name?
It seems that this Du Jinning is really talented and learned.
These thoughts appeared in Zhao Yu's mind, and it was only a moment's effort, and the Wu Gonggong didn't notice it at all.
He looked at the name on the head of the test paper and said, "Your Majesty, is this Du Jinning the one who wrote the script?" ”
Zhao was stunned.
When there was a script in Beijing that had such a major impact that even the officials in the court debated endlessly, Zhao Yu was sure to find out who the author was.
As an emperor, it is not difficult to check someone, and Du Jinning's information was quickly placed on Zhao Yu's desktop.
However, because Du Jinning is not an important criminal or a spy of hostile forces, the investigation is not very in-depth. That information only shows Du Jinning's origin, identity, age, and her teacher is Guan Lehe, and the bookstore where she issued the book belongs to her mother Chen.
At first, Zhao Yu was surprised by Du Jinning's youth, he was still a person who could understand so much agricultural knowledge, but after seeing that it was Guan Lehe's disciple, he took it for granted that this doubt was solved.
Guan Lehe is an official in charge of agriculture in the Ministry of Industry, so it is not surprising that Du Jinning can write some knowledge of agricultural production. In addition, the Guan family is a small family that does not cause trouble, and in the battle for succession, they are wise to protect themselves, timid and peaceful. Guan Zhengxiang, the most promising, is still a guy with a bad brain. Therefore, Guan Lehe's disciples are not to be afraid.
As for Du Jinning writing a script as a person, Zhao Yu also understands it very well. After all, it is very expensive to study alone, Du Jinning is a poor man who has no family to rely on, how can he support his life if he doesn't let his mother's bookstore increase in popularity and earn some money?
These are some of the thoughts that Zhao Yu flashed by. After these thoughts, he put the matter behind him. After all, there are so many major national affairs to worry about, and a book and a small person are not enough to attract his attention.
He had intended to make the author of this script a petty official. However, since he is a disciple of Guan Lehe, he will pay more attention to Guan Lehe in the future, if he has the ability to promote him, there is no need to bother with this kind of thing.
Putting this matter behind him, Zhao Yu forgot about Du Jinning. It wasn't until Gonggong Wu mentioned it now that he found out that this Du Jinning was the same person as Du Jinning who wrote the script.
Of course, as the first eunuch beside the emperor, Gonggong Wu did not say every word casually. The reason why he mentioned Du Jinning was actually because when the Queen Mother summoned him to understand the emperor's food, clothing and daily life, he had a script at hand, and during the speech, Princess Lu repeatedly mentioned this script, so that the Queen Mother paid attention to her body, don't look at the script and hurt her body.
Gonggong Wu knew that the officials in the court had a dispute over this, and seeing that the Queen Mother and the eldest princess of Lu also liked to watch it, he was curious, so he asked people to buy the book and read it.
As an ancient eunuch with no entertainment, he was locked up in the palace for one or two decades, and his heart was very lonely. Du Jinning's words were written so well that after Wu Gonggong read the script, he instantly became Du Jinning's fan brother.
That's why he mentioned it. And this mouth, not only Du Jinning's words won the heart of Wu Gonggong, but the most important thing is that the Queen Mother and the eldest princess of Lu are full of praise for this Du Jinning.
Saying a word for such a person, benefiting without cost, and solving the emperor's doubts, Gonggong Wu felt that he could still do it.
Recalling the impact of "Farming", and looking at the article in front of him, Zhao Yu no longer regained his original calmness.
He couldn't wait to move his gaze to the second article.
This article, like the previous one, is brilliantly written, quoted from the classics, and clearly affirms the significance of navigation. He also pointed out that now that the navigation technology has matured, the Great Song Dynasty can carry out a long-distance navigation feat to explore and discover new continents and countries, sell the products of the Great Song Dynasty, and transport foreign products to obtain a lot of benefits for the country. The emperor who was able to perform such a feat and succeed will surely go down in history and be admired by future generations.
The article was written very demagogically and passionately, and Zhao Yu couldn't help but be infected by passion, and a fighting spirit surged in his heart.
He was young, he had the impulse and passion of youth, he wanted to do something that no one had done before, he wanted to be better than his grandparents.
To be a better emperor than other emperors, you can only expand your territory. But to open up territory means to wage war. Zhao Yu did not want to plunge the country into war and chaos, and went to conquer the northern and western countries that were not rich in natural resources. Then sending a ship to sail away has become the only major event he can do that will go down in history.
At this time, he had already put his suspicions about Du Jinning behind him, patted the case, and shouted with a flushed face: "Okay, well written." ”
Seeing this, Gonggong Wu smiled and took a few steps back, standing quietly aside.
Du Jinning was able to fool Zhao Chang and capture his respect as an ordinary scholar, so it is naturally not a problem to write a few articles to deceive people at this time.
The most important thing is that through Qi Bokun's mouth, she can understand the temperament of Zhao Yu and know that he is an aspiring young emperor. Such a person must have a heart to make meritorious achievements. Therefore, her demagogy is very targeted, and it can hit the hearts of the people the most, so that Zhao Yu deeply agrees with and knows her.
