The next day, at the morning court, Yi Jinyi announced on the spot the punishment for the Minister of War Wei Weiyan. Even Wei Weiyan's former subordinates did not dare to say anything and just remained silent.
Yi Qingyu looked at Mo Yu, who was standing in the first seat on the right, looking at him gloomily.
Yi Jinyi was very satisfied with the officials' understanding, so he signaled Eunuch Li to start this morning court session.
Eunuch Li shouted, "If you have the documents, please submit them. If you don't, please leave the court!"
Yi Jinyi and Mo Yu had just dealt with Wei Weiyan in a drastic manner. They were both watching the situation in the court. Except for the really urgent matters, the entire court was eerily quiet.
Everyone's eyes were intentionally or unintentionally looking at Mo Yu who was at the front. They had all heard more or less about Mo Yu's recent interrogation of Wei Weiyan, but they didn't expect that he could be so cruel.
When Mo Yu just woke up, no one took this down-and-out marquis seriously. Who would have thought that one day he would be able to stand in the court and work with them.
If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Everyone has some corruption in their hands to a certain extent. They all know about Mo Yu's report, which simply dug out all the money from Wei Weiyan. Some officials who have interests tied to Wei Weiyan are tormented in their hearts, fearing that someone will report them.
Mo Yu was not unaware of the officials' stares at him, but he didn't care. He didn't lose a piece of meat by being stared at.
Yi Jinyi looked at the silent scene and laughed silently. Originally, he wanted to pick out a few serious ones and kill them as punishment, but Mo Yu advised him against it.
Mo Yu: "Your Majesty, most of the people on this list are the Ninth Prince's men. Since we have evidence against them, we have a reason to kill them at any time. In this case, why not maximize their interests, let them fight each other, be suspicious of each other, and hinder each other, so as to divide them. Isn't it better?"
Yi Jinyi thought about it and thought that this method was not bad. So, the mighty marquis with a bad personality and the emperor who acted on his own accord made such a rash decision to let go of the official who was worthy of death.
Those who have a seat in the court are not fools. They know that the emperor holds all the power over them, so they are cautious and do their best in their own affairs.
When Yi Jinyi received the news, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and became more satisfied with this decision.
There are no loyal ministers in the court. At most, they are just checking each other.
None of the officials spoke. The position of the Minister of War was vacant, which should have been a cause of war, but the masters who followed the minor officials did not speak, so they also fell silent.
Mo Yu came out and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the position of Minister of War is now vacant. I wonder what your Majesty thinks."
Yi Jinyi's eyes flashed, and he looked at Mo Yu with one hand, without any emperor's image, and asked curiously: "Oh? I wonder if Lord Mo has any candidates to recommend?"
Mo Yu said without hesitation: "Yan Minda, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, is now acting as the military affairs director of the Ministry of War. There has been no trouble so far, and he has been in the Ministry of War for 20 years. He is a good candidate."
Yan Minda stood behind and looked at Mo Yu, feeling a little excited. Who wouldn't want to make further progress in the court? He didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to him.
Yi Jinyi chuckled. He had to admit that Mo Yu's choice was the same person he had in mind. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's Yan Minda."
Yi Jinyi stood up and said, "Minister of the Ministry of War, Yan Minda, please step forward and listen to the title. Since taking charge of the Ministry of War, Yan Minda has never made any mistakes. From today on, you are the Minister of War. Please leave the court!"
After saying that, he left in a good mood.
After Eunuch Li finished speaking and adjourned the court, a group of people gathered around Mo Yu.
Mo Yu just smiled faintly, hoping to leave no clues to those who were trying to find out about his relationship with the emperor.
Today's incident with Yan Minda can be said to be Yi Jinyi's way of establishing his authority in the court. Yi Jinyi's thoughts change every now and then, and this is the first time he has so clearly expressed his support for a group of people.
It's clear that Mo Yu is on his way to becoming a favored minister!
Yi Qingyu glanced at Mo Yu, snorted coldly and left.
Mo Yu smiled and said, "Ninth Prince, there will be many opportunities for us to fight each other in the future."
For Yi Qingyu, who is omnipotent in the court, this is simply a declaration of war. It has happened before, but Mo Yu's status is different now. His every move represents the emperor.
Could it be that the Emperor was preparing to take action against the Ninth Prince and therefore supported a powerful marquis
The ministers had something on their minds. They would have plenty of opportunities to flatter the emperor later, but right now it was most important to guess the emperor's thoughts, so they gradually left.
In the end, only Mo Yu and Yan Minda were left walking slowly.
Yan Minda said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Mo."
Mo Yu's tone was very gentle, but with a hint of caution, he said, "Master Yan, you don't have to thank me. This is the emperor's intention. Both you and I are his men. After all, there is only one person in power in Tianyu Kingdom. Master Yan, do you understand?"
Yan Minda bowed to Mo Yu and said, "I understand. Thank you for your advice, Lord."
He was originally the emperor's man, but he was hiding it very deeply. Now that the emperor has promoted him, he naturally knows who he should be grateful to.
However, he had no idea what Mo Yu was thinking when he was doing things in front of him.
The two separated at the palace gate.
Ge Luo was already waiting at the palace gate in his carriage. When he saw Mo Yu, he came over and said, "My Lord, is everything going well?"
Mo Yu nodded.
Goro knew that Mo Yu did not regard him as an ordinary guard, otherwise he would not have given him the task of interrogating Wei Weiyan. After this incident, he admired the Marquis more and more, and was willing to follow Mo Yu.
"My Lord, the young lady has personally prepared a meal for you today. I hope you can go back early."
Mo Yu nodded in agreement.
The two were walking towards the Marquis' Mansion when a dart suddenly hit Mo Yu's carriage. Goro looked around vigilantly and didn't find anyone else. He pulled out the dart, took a look, and his face instantly turned ugly.
Mo Yu obviously heard the noise and opened the curtain: "What happened?"
Goro handed over the thing in his hand: "My Lord, this is my former organization."
There was a note on the dart, which read "Gathering at Qingfeng Tower".
Mo Yu looked at the deep marks and chuckled, "Interesting! Let's go to Qingfeng Tower!"
