Chapter 165: Old treacherous and cunning
Early the next morning
Yin Mo wore official clothes and crowns, met with a group of household officials, and went to the palace to ask to see Empress Dowager Ning and Emperor Tianye.
Jade Pole Hall
Emperor Amano narrowed his eyes, which were still a little sleepy, looked at Yin Mo and the others who were standing in the hall after saluting, and asked: "Gong Yin entered the palace today, what is there to report to me and the queen mother." ”
Emperor Amano, who is fourteen years old this year, is not too young in this era, so under the arrangement of Empress Dowager Ning, the little emperor began to gradually get in touch with political affairs to pave the way for future pro-government.
It's just that Emperor Amano is a teenager after all, and he was too well protected by Empress Dowager Ning in the past, and he only loves to have fun, and he doesn't pay much attention to the political affairs of the imperial court.
Today, it is rare not to have an early dynasty, and when Mr. Leacher is on vacation, the little emperor is busy and wants to sleep lazily, and then have a good time and relax, but he was disturbed by Yin Mo and others, and he was dissatisfied for a while.
Yin Mo didn't care what the little emperor thought, to put it bluntly, Emperor Tianye, who is not yet in power, is just a puppet son of heaven at the moment, and it is the Empress Dowager Ning who is really in charge in this majestic palace.
Therefore, even if the little emperor was full of displeasure, Yin Mo didn't see it at all, and then focused his attention on the Empress Dowager Ning, who was sitting behind Emperor Tianye's side.
…………
As soon as the wat board in his hand was stretched, Yin Mo took a step forward, bowed down to the ground, and shouted with a sad and angry face: "Your Majesty, the old minister entered the palace with his colleagues in the household department this time, and he wanted to ask you and the queen mother to make us the masters." ”
After saying that, Yin Mo looked sad, raised his sleeves to hide his face and wipe away his tears, and the household officials behind him also knelt down one after another, crying and echoing his own Shangshu.
For a while, the sound of crying and crying sounded into a single place, which was quite spectacular.
Yin Mo and the others cried vigorously, but the little emperor was frightened, he was still young, who had ever seen this kind of situation, seeing Yin Mo leading the household officials to cry and choke, his heart was in turmoil, and he turned his head to look at the Empress Dowager Ning for help.
"Queen Mother's ........."
Facts have proved that the little emperor did not find the wrong person, at a critical time, it was still Empress Dowager Ning who was calm, she signaled her son Emperor Amano with her eyes, and swept over Yin Mo and others with a pair of phoenix eyes, and her red lips opened lightly.
"Gong Yin and all the lords, don't worry, the mourning family and the emperor are here, and they will definitely be fair."
Empress Dowager Ning's voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful, which made people feel a sense of convincing from the heart, of course, these had little effect on Yin Mo, an old oilman in the officialdom, but it also made him feel that the heat was enough.
So, as soon as Yin Mo's crying stopped, he raised his old face that was still stained with tears, and kowtowed to Empress Dowager Ning in a trembling voice, and his voice was still a little sobbing.
"There are many old ministers...... Thank you Queen Mother for administering justice for us. ”
A shameless chicken thief, Empress Dowager Ning obviously just promised to act impartially, but Yin Mo secretly changed her concept, stamped and concluded that she was on their side and stood up for the household department.........
…………
Yin Mo's little trick was not very clever, and the Empress Dowager Ning, who was good at scheming, naturally saw it, but she didn't say anything.
People are close to each other, since Empress Dowager Ning took power, Yin Mo has been under her command, and has done a lot of errands for their mother and son, to a certain extent, Yin Mo is even more trusted by Empress Dowager Ning than Ning Decai's mother's family.
Now that Yin Mo, a confidant minister, has been wronged, and begged her and the little emperor to do this, it is reasonable, and Empress Dowager Ning feels that she should come forward to help.
Dealing with it impartially is just rhetoric.
As long as Yin Mo's side is not too unreasonable, Empress Dowager Ning will definitely stand on her own side.
"Gong Yin, if you have anything to ask the emperor and the mourning family to make a decision for you, you might as well discuss it in detail."
Empress Dowager Ning's words were already a hint of "Yin Mo rest assured and boldly say, the old lady will stand up for you", the treacherous and cunning Yin Shangshu immediately understood, and opened his mouth to describe the dispute between him and Sun Qingquan at the palace gate yesterday.
Of course, since it is a description, the content in it naturally inevitably has some subjective colors.
In Yin Mo's mouth, Sun Qingquan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, relied on the power of the king, blocked him in front of the palace gate and asked for military rations, and then during his explanation with him, he did not ask about the hardships of the household department, and insulted him aggressively.
In the end, Sun Qingquan put down his cruel words and threatened him, the elder of the three dynasties, whose arrogance and evil actions made Yin Mo and the household officials feel sad and indignant, so they entered the palace to ask Emperor Tianye and the Queen Mother to uphold justice and punish the evil ministers.
………
Yin Mo has been up and down for decades, not to mention the sidelines, his acting skills are definitely first-class.
Under his tears and unbearable accusations, everyone in the palace seemed to really see an arrogant and domineering evil minister, bullying this old minister who had worked hard for the court for decades in public.
Emperor Amano, who was young and young in the city mansion, was directly angry, if it weren't for Empress Dowager Ning's pull, he would have issued an order to convict Sun Qingquan. In contrast, Empress Dowager Ning was obviously not so confused.
Although Yin Mo's influence greatly reduced Sun Qingquan's favor, but in a rational manner, Empress Dowager Ning still questioned Yin Mo's words, and Yin Mo had already prepared for this, and directly stated that he had a witness.
"Queen Mother, yesterday, many officials, including Ning Xiang, saw the old minister and Sun Qingquan arguing in front of the palace gate, and he said that he wanted to join the old minister, scolded the household department for falsifying the account book for no reason, and also put us and other household officials in the prison of the criminal department............
If the Queen Mother doesn't believe this, she can ask Ning Xiang and the officials who were near the palace gate at the time. ”
He took advantage of what Sun Qingquan deliberately provoked him yesterday to create a situation that met his requirements, and his confession was six true and four false, and he successfully accused Sun Qingquan of the crime of bullying his colleagues.
At the same time, Yin Mo did not forget to bring Ning Decai in, and with the testimony of this left prime minister and later party leader, Sun Qing is really a yellow mud sticky crotch - not but.
Hehe......
Yin Shangshu is not easy to provoke, Ning De wants him to be cannon fodder, they must be ready to be pulled into the field at any time, and they want to stay out of the game all the time to watch a good show, and there is no door.
…………
Sure enough, Empress Dowager Ning still trusts Ning Decai, the eldest brother, and has his testimony, coupled with Yin Mo's confidant crying accusation, which undoubtedly made her gradually believe in the authenticity of this matter, and her impression of Sun Qingquan in her heart was greatly reduced.
"This person has no long-term respect, and he acts wantonly, which is difficult to use."
After giving Sun Qingquan a few "derogatory" labels, Empress Dowager Ning looked at Yin Mo, who was still kneeling on the ground, and sent someone to arouse him, and said comfortingly.
"Yin Gong rest assured, the mourning family and the emperor will not sit idly by and watch the loyal ministers be wronged, and after a while, the mourning family will let people draw up the will, and Sun Qingquan, the secretary of the military department, behaves misbehaps, speaks and deeds wantonly, disrespects colleagues, and is rude and lawless, and ordered him to apologize to Yin Gong in person, and fined him for one year, and thought about it behind closed doors for ten days."
This punishment is not severe, but it is different if it is placed on an official of Sun Qingquan's level.
Apologizing in person, punishing him, and thinking about it behind closed doors, which one is enough to make Sun Qing lose face, not to mention that Empress Dowager Ning personally drafted the decree to supervise the punishment.
I'm afraid that after this matter passes, within two or three years, Sun Qing will not have enough confidence in Yin Moshi.........
Yin Mo himself was not satisfied with Empress Dowager Ning's punishment, but he was basically not disappointed, and he saluted and thanked Emperor Tianye and Empress Dowager Ning.
Just when the two of them thought they were done, Yin Mo took out a thick account book from his arms, and not only him, but also several household officials behind him also made this action.
Yin Mo gathered these account books together and held them above his head with both hands.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the old minister has one more thing to do."
"What?"
Empress Dowager Ning saw the ledger in Yin Mo's hand, and her phoenix eyes were solemn.
"Back to the Queen Mother, what the old minister played was the preparation of front-line military rations,"
Speaking of this, Yin Mo raised his head slightly, glanced at the two ladies on the throne, and his voice suddenly became erratic.
"There is no food in the household storehouse.........
