Chapter 10 Change it, I said
For the first time, Nie Yao felt that the gold was a little hot.
I want to refuse but I can't bear to.
I was also worried about being tickled again.
He had no choice but to accept it and went to court with a slightly heavy heart.
"Sir, you are finally here!"
The morning court session almost turned into a noon court session. He hadn't prepared much money and was feeling dizzy and hungry. While reporting the harvest results of three hundred taels to the boss, he searched in Nie Yao's sleeves.
Trying to find two big pancakes to fill your stomach.
In the end, he didn't find the cake, but he felt something heavy.
"What are you doing? Get out of here!"
Nie Yao didn't want his subordinates to know that he had made a fortune from the new emperor. He quickly clapped his hands, which were full of money, and told the eunuch behind him to quickly give the glutton the egg-filled pancakes he had packed.
"What is this?" Qian Daduo finished a whole cake in just three or two bites without even chewing it.
After finishing five in one go, the burning sensation in his stomach gradually subsided.
It was not until the sixth pancake that he finally tasted the flavor.
"This stuff smells so good!"
"What is this, sir? Why haven't I eaten it at your house before?"
"You're finally rich, sir! I knew it was right to follow you!"
"Sir, can we still eat this tomorrow?"
After eating, this guy wants to lick his fingers.
Nie Yao couldn't stand it any longer and kicked him, "If you continue to embarrass me, go back to the north and eat grass roots!"
Grassroots people also spend a lot of money on food.
It's just that thing isn't as delicious as meat. If possible, he would like to eat meat every day.
The rice is fine even without meat.
"Sir, Sun Ji's grandson said he wanted to file a complaint against me, accusing me of insubordination." Qian Duoduo didn't really want to go north, so he quickly changed the subject. "He was putting on airs and trying to put pressure on me, so I couldn't help but slap him."
"My Lord, is this all right?"
"I didn't even use any strength!"
Nie Yao believed that he might not have really used much effort.
But Sun Ji was a civil servant, and an elderly one at that.
Brittle bones, that's for sure.
"Okay, I got it." Nie Yao didn't say whether to punish him or not. He threw the last cake to the man with a lot of money and told him to leave quickly and not stay here to get in the way.
The new emperor has arrived.
The morning court begins.
Nie Yao didn't have time to talk to other subordinates about the situation, so he gestured to the secret guards to submit a report.
This is not the first time he has asked for a work report, and his subordinates all understand.
He folded up the document that had been written long ago and asked his companions in the court to pass it to him.
Others went to court to report on their work.
Nie Yao lowered his head to see what happened at the Minister of Rites' residence yesterday.
The money was a lot and everything was generally done according to the process, so there were no problems.
But at the end, when Qian Duoduo was about to pack up, Sun Ji deliberately asked someone to take three hundred taels and gave it to a beggar in front of Qian Duoduo. Qian Duoduo then turned around and slapped him in the face.
Well, nothing wrong.
Nie Yao put away the paper and focused his attention on the court meeting.
"Your Majesty! Please make the decision for me, Your Majesty!"
Sun Ji, with his head wrapped in bandages, knelt miserably in the court, prostrating himself at the feet of the new emperor.
Expression of grief and anger.
"Minister of Revenue Nie Yao blackmailed this old minister and allowed his subordinates to beat me up for no reason!"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"
It’s not enough for him to cry alone.
There are other people filling in after the performance.
"Your Majesty, I have a report to make. I have discovered that the Nie family maintains a private army, amassing 800,000 soldiers in Moshi County under the pretext of defending against foreign enemies. Moshi is merely a county in Dayu, so why would they need 800,000 troops? The Nie family must have ulterior motives and are attempting to......"
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice produced a pile of evidence.
They said the Nie family maintained a private army, using their status as ministers to eclipse the emperor's glory. They also accused Nie Yao of corruption and bribery, assaulting imperial officials, and a host of other crimes.
These are things that everyone knows.
Nie Yao was too lazy to listen.
"Alright." Nie Yao still had a task to complete, so he simply interrupted him. "If you're going to talk about something, tell me something no one else knows. If you have evidence that my people are oppressing the people, show it now."
"If not, shut up."
The court officials were all stunned.
In the past, Nie Yao was arrogant, but he usually didn't show it openly.
There has never been such an incident where a court official's advice was interrupted like today.
What's wrong with him?
Sun Ji was sobbing that he was stunned and even forgot to cry. It took him a while to react and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Your Majesty! This traitor has committed heinous crimes! Your Majesty, please punish Nie Yao severely and restore order to the court!"
He still has some strength.
As soon as he opened his mouth, many people stood up and agreed.
"Your Majesty, please punish Nie Yao severely and restore order to the court!"
He has a loud voice.
The roar instantly woke up some dozing military officers.
Look around.
Although he didn't know what happened, when he saw many of his own people standing behind Nie Yao in a swagger, he quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and followed.
"Your Majesty, these grandsons are full of shit. Please don't listen to their nonsense!"
"Our Lord says you are very clever. Your Majesty, you must know who are the treacherous ministers and who are the loyal ministers, right?"
When did he say that the new emperor was smart?
Nie Yao glared at the military officer who spoke.
The vein on his forehead was throbbing.
"There's a lot of money, step back and stand still!!"
He has said so many times that this cannot happen during court sessions!
This is the imperial court, not a bandit den, no!!
There were other idiots with confused eyes who were obviously just waking up. Nie Yao kicked them one by one and asked them to step back and stand still like a kindergarten teacher.
"Your Majesty! Look at them! They're openly forming cliques in the court, showing they have absolutely no regard for you!"
"Until the Nie family is eliminated, the world will be in turmoil, Your Majesty!"
Very good, the handle is delivered directly to your hand.
This group of civil servants would probably wake up laughing in their dreams at night.
Nie Yao was about to explode with anger, but he had to maintain a calm and composed look on his face.
"Your Majesty, I think..." He glanced around and said calmly, "Three quarters past five in the morning is too early for court. The best time should be changed to four o'clock in the morning."
What kind of work do you do at five or six o'clock?
Come over at nine o'clock and have a chat.
Seeing that those people could not produce any evidence, Nie Yao ignored the howling Sun Ji and his gang and jumped directly to complete the task issued by the new emperor.
"What's the matter with holding court at Sishi?" The few military officers who were listening were puzzled, and thinking that the boss couldn't hear them, they muttered quietly, "Isn't it just right to get up at Yinshi and hold court at Maoshi? I'm not a useless civil servant. I can't bear to get up early to attend court..."
Nie Yao really wanted to kick out all these subordinates who were whispering and singing against his will.
But in order to maintain the remaining decency.
He chose to play deaf.
He said calmly, "I think it is best to hold court at 9:00 PM. What do you think?"
"Of course not! Sishi is an auspicious time. It's a good time to go to court!"
"Yes, yes! Sishi is good! I think Sishi is good too!"
"Lord Nie is right! I second the motion!"
The military officers were on one side.
Some who had been absent from the entire process and had no idea what was going on stood up and shouted, "I second the motion!"
The civil servant was shocked.
Then it exploded.
Then, the censor, who had remained silent for decades, stood up and declared righteously, "Your Majesty, Nie Yao's crime of disrupting the imperial court is unforgivable! Your Majesty, issue an order to have him beheaded!"
