In the morning today, everyone was in danger. The officials looked at each other as if they hadn't seen each other. No one said hello to anyone because no one knew who was going to be unlucky today.
The air pressure in the court hall was frighteningly low for several days in a row, and something bad happened to someone every day. Several officials had their homes confiscated, were dismissed, and were sent to jail awaiting trial.
Yan Guan, who usually likes to make noise, has also become quiet. It can be seen that these old guys don't know how to assess the situation, they just rely on their own 'power' and know to shut up once they find danger.
As everyone expected, the emperor was furious, some people were unlucky, and of course some people took advantage of the situation.
After a morning court, the court uniforms of several officials changed. Not to mention others, at least two in Dali Temple changed.
First, the former minister of Dali Temple, Mr. Mo, was directly promoted today, from the third rank to the second rank, and became a cabinet bachelor.
The other one is Lu Yi, who changed from the young minister of Dali Temple to the minister of Dali Temple. To put it bluntly, the former Lord Mo made room for him, and now he has become the top decision-maker of Dali Temple.
There is one more thing that one has to talk about.
That person is Mr. Jiangge.
Mr. Jiang Ge held an important position and had many accomplices. This time he had many of his confidants removed and a lot of his power taken back. It can be said that this time he simply lost his wife and lost his troops.
At the end of the morning court, the officials came out of the palace.
At this time, their backs were covered with sweat, and their faces were as pale as if they had seen a ghost.
After leaving the palace, the survivors looked at each other, as if they were surviving the disaster.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lu." Mr. Mo said with a smile, "Some people used to say that being your top manager is very cost-effective. All those who were your top boss have been promoted. I didn't believe it yet, but now I do."
"Congratulations." Lu Yi returned the greeting, "If it weren't for Mr. Mo's daily cultivation, I wouldn't be here today."
"Hey, don't put your hat on me, I know your abilities." Mr. Mo said with a smile, "Don't think I am from the second grade now, if you want to have real power..."
In terms of real power, the minister of Dali Temple may not have the right.
In the final analysis, he was just making room for Lu Yi.
Mr. Mo didn't say it out loud, but his expression clearly said, "I understand."
Lu Yi was capable, so he was not at a loss anyway, so there was nothing to complain about.
"Master Lu is so capable!" Mr. Jiang Ge came out of the room.
Lu Yi and Master Mo saluted him.
Master Mo saw that the two of them had something to say, so he took his leave first.
Mr. Jiangge looked at Lu Yi coldly: "Master Lu, you are really good at it. I've made a mistake."
"My lord has never made a mistake." Lu Yi said calmly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked my subordinate to do things for you back then."
Mr. Jiang Ge sneered: "I mistook a wolf for a domestic dog and underestimated your ability."
"Don't be upset, sir. Your Majesty has not done anything to you. In the final analysis, you can strangle me to death with just a move of your fingers. But before strangling me, I will bite off a piece of you even with my last breath."
Meat, I just don’t know if you are willing to part with this piece of meat." Lu Yi said lightly, "You should never touch my family."
"Okay, very good. Lu Yi, don't fall into my hands." Mr. Jiang Ge sneered, "The prince is incompetent and will never be able to hold a big position. If you follow him, you will die ugly sooner or later."
"Could it be that the second prince is a wise king?" Lu Yi asked, "Even if he has a powerful minister like you, I am afraid that such a 'wise king' would not dare to be entrusted with important responsibilities."
Jiangge Lao suffered heavy losses this time and completely resented Lu Yi. Since this wolf could not be used by him, he would find a way to destroy him.
After Mr. Jiang Ge left, Fan Yuanxi walked out.
"Is that old guy threatening you again?"
"He suffered a loss and scolded me a few times to vent his anger."
"The second prince was only fined half a year's salary, which is boring."
"The emperor wants to use him to compete with the prince, so he will not be touched for the time being." Lu Yi said, "Being fined half a year's salary is already a signal. In order to protect themselves, many ministers in the court will definitely not dare to accept the recruiting sticks he offers.
, this can be considered as buying some breathing time for the prince."
The most important thing is that Mr. Jiang Ge suffered heavy losses this time. The prince will definitely be happy, and it will also be beneficial to their future actions.
The prince is timid and cowardly, but what the emperor wants is such a timid and cowardly prince. Otherwise, how could he secure the throne if he is so mediocre?
"Where is your wife? She won't answer the call?"
"The Minister of Punishment is a smart man. It's time to send my wife out today."
The first thing that the Minister of Punishment did when he returned to the Punishment Ministry was to hear Yu Shidi's case.
Mu Siyu had been eating and drinking in the Criminal Department for so long, and was finally arraigned today.
Master Zhuang sighed: "It's over, I've lost."
"Since we lost, remember our bet!" Mu Siyu patted the non-existent dust on his body, "When you come out, I'll treat you to something delicious."
"I heard from the jailer that you have opened some kind of holiday resort, and every day you make money, if I go out, you are not allowed to invite me to play for three days?"
"Okay." Mu Siyu agreed.
This Mr. Zhuang speaks in a funny and humorous way, and I don’t feel lonely even if I chat with him these days. The most important thing is that this man has an extraordinary temperament and is definitely not an ordinary person.
Mu Siyu followed the official to the Criminal Court.
As soon as she entered, she immediately noticed someone familiar inside.
Lu Yi.
This guy’s official uniform is wrong!
The Minister of Punishment sat at the top and presided over the trial. As the Minister of Dali Temple, Lu Yi had many cases under their jurisdiction, so there was nothing wrong with hearing the case here. However, this matter concerned his wife, so logically he should avoid it.
However, no one at the scene thought there was anything wrong with this.
Maybe they knew it was wrong, but they still didn't dare to say it. Now that Lu Yi was at the height of his power, they were not someone they could offend.
"Who is kneeling down?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice asked Yu.
Mrs. Yu knelt there and shivered.
Only then did she realize that she was afraid.
A woman like her used to feel scared even when she saw someone in the countryside. How could she have seen such a high official as Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice? Not to mention that there was Lu Yi watching over her.
But there is no medicine for regret in this world.
She didn't know why she was deceived by lard, and she wanted to plot against Lu Yi.
"Mr. Yu, a commoner woman, has met your Excellency."
Mu Siyu was about to salute when the Minister of Punishment stopped him.
"My wife is a member of an official family. She has a royal decree and does not need to kneel down."
"Thank you, sir."
Lu Yi sat there calmly, as if he was just a decoration.
However, the Minister of Punishment knows that this is for his wife. If he dares to be unfair in the slightest today, the Minister of Punishment may be doomed.
Despite his high official position, he shouldn't have to be afraid of Lu Yi, but he never dared to underestimate this man.
"Mr. Yu, do you want to accuse Mr. Lu M of letting his servants commit murder?" the Minister of Punishment asked.
