Chapter 672: Request for Release
When he arrived at Du's house, Qi Muyuan was about to rest after washing.
Although Liu Gao had already checked that it was the imperial guards who followed Du Jinning, Qi Muyuan felt that his martial arts were higher than Du Jinning's, and he wanted to try the movements of those imperial guards. Therefore, he plans to live in the east wing of Du Jinning's courtyard.
The two grew up together and lived next to each other. Moreover, Qi Muyuan has always been a gentleman, and his behavior is very measured, and Du Jinning has no problem with him living in his yard.
She also wanted Qi Muyuan to listen to the movements of the imperial guards and see if her judgment was accurate.
As a result, I heard a report from the next person, saying that Qi Bokun was coming.
Qi Muyuan is still a very pure child, and he has never thought about that aspect in his heart. He likes Du Jinning, and completely regards Du Jinning as his soul mate.
Hearing his grandfather coming, he was still very surprised, and said to Du Jinning: "Why did his old man come here at this time?" ”
When Qi Bokun came home from the yamen, it was almost dark, and he talked to his unfilial son and daughter-in-law at home for a while, and it was already dark at this time. There is no urgency, and most people will not go out at this time.
Du Jinning vaguely guessed a little bit of Qi Bokun's intention.
She was full of black lines, and she didn't dare to leave Qi Muyuan, and said, "You better pack up your things, I guess I'm here to pick you up." ”
Boss Qi Muyuan was unhappy: "I won't go back." ”
"Didn't you say that you won't go home if you don't solve the Su family's affairs? Now that he's come to tell you that it's settled, you're going to have to keep your promise and go home. It's not good to be untrustworthy. Du Jinning persuaded.
Saying that, she didn't wait for Qi Muyuan to speak, turned around and pulled the bell, and instructed Guan Qi, who rushed to watch the chess: "Your old lady is coming to pick up your young master, you go and pack his things, and come over with Aoki in a while." ”
As she spoke, she pulled Qi Muyuan reluctantly to the front hall.
Qi Bokun saw that his grandson had changed into a set of clothes, and his heart chuckled.
However, he didn't dare to show a strange expression on his face, and happily chatted with Du Jinninghan, and then said to Qi Muyuan with a pleasant face: "I have solved the matter of the Su family, and they will never dare to fight your idea again in the future, come home with me." ”
Grandfather is so old, he has to deal with his own affairs when he goes home after a tired day, and he comes to pick him up in person when it gets dark, since Qi Muyuan feels guilty and moved, he doesn't dare to say that he can't go back, so he has to obediently go with Qi Bokun.
The two said goodbye to Du Jinning and got into the carriage, Qi Bokun looked at his clothes and asked, "Why did you change your clothes?" ”
Qi Muyuan was surprised: "It's almost time to rest, so naturally I have to change my clothes." ”
"Where did Xiao Ning'er arrange for you to live?" Qi Bokun tried to pretend to be innocent and curious, and smiled amiably.
"East Chamber." Qi Mu is far away.
Worried that his grandfather would misunderstand Du Jinning and snub him, he explained: "Originally, he planned to arrange another courtyard for me, but it seemed that someone was spying on Du Jinning, so I didn't feel at ease, so I planned to live in his courtyard and help him explore the truth." ”
Only then did Qi Bokun put his mind at ease.
Thinking of the imperial guard, his brows furrowed, and he was ready to remind the emperor tomorrow.
Zhao Yu's original intention was to protect Du Jinning, but because of this, Du Jinning misunderstood, so it was not good for him to be separated from Zhao Mei.
Du Jinning sent away the ancestors and grandchildren of the Qi family, thinking about his behavior since he beat Qi Muyuan, when he hugged her, he closed the door in the house, and he didn't let the guards who were far away in the tree see it, so he was relieved.
Although she plans to get into a relationship with Qi Muyuan, she doesn't want to expose it and bear the strange eyes of the world.
In the early morning of the next day, a four-rank official proposed to open up the road and prosper the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty, but for a while, it was immediately opposed by the vast majority of ministers.
Some ministers even said that the consequences were particularly serious: "Open the road, the Great Song Dynasty will die." ”
At this time, Qi Bokun came out of the queue and proposed that a province could be used as a pilot, and put the reasons Du Jinning said on the table.
Several high-ranking ministers who held the small meeting also came forward to second.
Clear-eyed people saw that these people were Zhao Yu's henchmen, and knew that this must be the emperor's intention, and it was not impossible to use a remote province as an experiment. The neutral part is much quieter.
Only the officials from the family have not figured out whether this matter is beneficial or disadvantageous to themselves, no matter how they oppose it first, they still grit their teeth and do not let go.
For such a big matter, Zhao Yu didn't expect it to be passed in one day, but just threw it out so that everyone could be prepared. He immediately put the matter aside and moved on to something else.
After getting off the court, Qi Bokun went to Zhao Yu and told him about Qi Muyuan's discovery of the imperial guards, and said, "They all suspect that someone is spying on Du Jinning, and they are trying to find a way to investigate this matter." Your Majesty, if this matter is not clarified, it will not be good to cause a misunderstanding. ”
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment: "Surveillance? Then he blamed himself, "Blame me for not thinking it through. ”
After thinking about it, he said: "I'm afraid it won't work now, the proposal to open the road has just been thrown out today, although we have to hide it, but the paper can't contain the fire in the end, there will always be people who know that this suggestion was put forward by Du Jinning." ...... then," he said, shaking his head.
Qi Bokun also agreed: "It is true that it will take a while to withdraw, at least until this issue is decided, and the family will approve this decision." ”
If you approve it, you won't be too disgusted with the person who made the suggestion, and you won't deliberately target Du Jinning for anything.
Although he didn't withdraw it, Zhao Yu still asked Du Jinning to call her and told her about it, saying, "The main thing is to protect you, not to spy on you." ”
"Wechen thanks the emperor for his love." Although he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, Du Jinning still looked grateful and gave Zhao Yu a big gift of thanks.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. There is no one in the court who is not an actor-level figure. Even if there is not the slightest fluctuation in his heart, he can be moved to tears in front of the emperor. Du Jinning still has this emotional intelligence.
Sure enough, Zhao Yu was very satisfied with Du Jinning's performance.
"Your Majesty." Du Jinning saluted, "Weichen has a reluctant request." ”
"You say." Zhao said.
"Wechen is more interested in agricultural affairs, and he has studied it a little, so he wants to implore the emperor to allow his ministers to go out to a certain county with less land annexation, and set up a demonstration base for farmland and labor there. If the ministers made supporting achievements in that base, the emperor could vigorously develop agriculture throughout the country after the implementation of commerce. Because the cycle of developing farmland and water conservancy is relatively long, if we do this thing now, when foreign trade is realized, there will be no shortage of grain. Therefore, Weichen boldly asked for release, and also asked the emperor for permission. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yu and Qi Bokun were taken aback.
