In the book, the princess of the fallen country saved the country by eating melons

Morning next day.

Today's morning court is particularly exciting.

Mo Jinyi had put his court clothes in order when he suddenly remembered that Sheng'er had just been detoxified and needed to take good care of herself in the next two days so she couldn't accompany him to court.

But it doesn’t matter, I can tell her after I leave court.

"Your Majesty is here—"

A shrill voice came from the main gate. The ministers who had been whispering to each other a second ago quickly stopped talking and knelt down respectfully.

"Your Majesty, we welcome you——"

Mo Jinyi had a stern expression, and the black and red dragon robe looked magnificent and solemn.

He sat back on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, I have a report to make."

Yang Yanlei, one of the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, said.

The Minister of Rites was not a good official at all. Not only was he greedy for money and lustful, he also exploited his subordinates.

Yang Yanlei gave a heavy gift.

He was tactful, fair, and talented, and devoted entirely to the court.

There is a great possibility that he will replace the position of Minister of Rites, which will pose a great threat to him.

Naturally, he is the one who is oppressed the most, and they want him to be unable to make any progress.

So last night His Majesty sent someone to tell him to impeach the Minister of Rites, and he accepted the message without saying anything.

After reading the evidence, he felt that the Minister of Rites was even more hateful.

He is simply not worthy of being a human being.

"Okay." Mo Jinyi sat up straight immediately.

The fun begins.

"I impeach the Minister of Rites for his immoral conduct, collusion with the spies of the Li State, and collusion with the virtuous king in an attempt to embezzle the disaster relief funds."

"Lord Yang, please stop talking nonsense here," another person from the Ministry of Rites jumped out to retort.

"Yes, everyone knows that the Minister of Rites attaches great importance to etiquette and is honest and frugal. How could the things you mentioned happen?" Other officials also jumped out to interfere.

"Master Yang, I've always been very kind to you. How can you slander me like this?"

The Minister of Rites looked grim and was shocked.

He quickly calmed down, after all, he was a man who had experienced many storms.

He did these things very secretly, and the evidence is not easy to find.

"Your Majesty, please be clear. Don't you know what kind of person I am? Over the years, even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. Lord Yang, what is your intention in slandering me like this?"

The Minister of Rites turned around, knelt down and cried to Mo Jinyi.

"I really don't know what kind of person you are"

Mo Jinyi lowered his eyes and looked at the officials below, the expression on his face not being clear enough because of the obscuration of his crown.

"Lord Yang, is there any misunderstanding here? We have been colleagues for many years and we are very clear about what kind of person the Minister of Rites is."

Grand Tutor Lou also felt that the Minister of Rites had worked diligently over the years, and even if he had no merit, he had worked hard.

What's more, their two families are related by marriage.

After thinking about it, he spoke to Lord Yang.

"Misunderstanding? How can it be a misunderstanding when the evidence is conclusive?" Yang Yanlei did not back down because of pressure from other officials.

I don’t know if Master Lou will faint when he finds out the truth.

"Your Majesty, please look, this is the evidence I have collected." Yang Yanlei handed the evidence back to Mo Jinyi.

Li Desheng took the evidence and handed it to Mo Jinyi.

After Mo Jinyi finished reading it, he was still very angry.

Anger rises...

"How dare you, Minister of Rites, you are so bold..."

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The other ministers did not expect that Yang Yanlei was serious.

There actually is evidence.

I haven't heard of any conflicts between them.

Lord Yang didn't reveal any information at all.

It seems that Lord Li is finished this time.

Let's cut off ties with him first, and then go back and deal with the evidence after the court session.

Avoid getting involved.

"Your Majesty, I have been wrongly accused. Someone must have framed me, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? And there is evidence."

The Minister of Rites knelt down and cried out that he was wronged.

"Unfair, then come and see. See if Lord Yang has wronged you?"

Mo Jinyi asked Eunuch Li to show the evidence in his hand to everyone.

Eunuch Li collected the evidence concerning Lou Qinyou.

A woman's reputation is very important, so it's better not to show it to others without her consent.

"This... this..." Everyone was speechless after seeing the evidence. This Lord Li is really bold.

All the officials lowered their heads and never dared to raise them again.

He is still trying to rob a commoner's woman. Lord Li must be in his fifties or sixties.

Still so energetic?

"Does this handwriting look familiar, Lord Li?"

When the Minister of Rites saw the handwriting on the evidence, he felt it was familiar. How could it not be familiar?

He wrote it himself.

"Come here, the Minister of Rites colluded with the virtuous king to embezzle disaster relief funds, his personal ethics are not good, and he colluded with spies from other countries. First, put the Minister of Rites in the Tianlao, confiscate his property, and the rest of his family members will be exiled 8,000 miles away and will not be allowed to return to the capital for life, and the women will be fined and enslaved."

"As for the position of Minister of Rites, let Yang Yanlei take over temporarily."

Mo Jinyi smiled in his heart.

The treasury is full of money now, so the Minister of Revenue won’t complain about him spending money anymore.

He looked at Lord Liu who was standing behind him.

"Lord Liu, the Minister of Rites, you dared to bring a spy into your home. You are so doting on me that I have to wonder if you know something as well."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I really didn't know she was a spy. I just saw her selling herself on the street to bury her father, and I bought her because she was pretty."

Lord Liu looked terrified, fearing that he would die in the next second.

"Really?" Mo Jinyi asked meaningfully.

"Since you said you didn't know, and there was no major offense, but a minor offense must be punished, then half of your property will be confiscated."

Mo Jinyi did not give him the chance to refuse and looked at the ministers.

"Next"

"Your Majesty, there's a report from Shuozhou. The disaster relief work has been completed. The county magistrates of Shuozhou can lead the people to complete the post-disaster reconstruction. Marquis Zhenyuan and his entourage are on their way back. What should be done with those who were brought back?" the Dali Temple Minister reported.

"The Shuozhou issue has finally been resolved. We will discuss the specific follow-up repairs after Zhenyuan Hou returns."

"If there is nothing else, then we can leave the court. Lord Lou, please come to the Imperial Study."

Mo Jinyi stood up and left.

"Resignation—"

After a long time, until Mo Jinyi's figure disappeared, all the officials slowly moved.

Everyone looked unhappy.

They gathered in groups of three or four to discuss while leaving the court.

Your Majesty has been becoming more and more aggressive recently.

It's becoming more and more confusing.

"His Majesty--"

"Teacher, regarding the matter of the Minister of Rites, there are some things you need to be prepared for."

Mo Jinyi looked at the teacher in front of him. He was already old.

I don’t know if I can accept such stimulation.

"Your Majesty, just speak frankly. I have seen all kinds of storms and waves."

Grand Tutor Lou was a little confused. Your Majesty, please stop whining like that.

Mo Jinyi gave the evidence that Lou Qinyu was molested by the Minister of Rites to Grand Tutor Lou.

Master Lou took it with confusion, and the next second his eyes were bloodshot.

He just stood there, and if it weren't for his survival instinct, he would have almost collapsed to the ground.

What did he see! ! !

Master Lou was so angry that he almost couldn't control himself.

How dare that old bastard, the Minister of Rites?

His daughter...

A good person...

After marrying into their family, I was insulted like this.

I shouldn't have pleaded for him today, damn bastard.

"Thank you for telling me this, Your Majesty. I wonder how my daughter is doing now."

Master Lou was both angry and hateful. He was angry that they did not protect his daughter, and he hated that old man for daring to do that.

I was also angry that they didn't tell them when my daughter was bullied.

He forced himself to swallow the bloody foam.
