By the time he finished his speech, those who had resigned had already left the hall in despair! But the people in the hall are not sparse, it can be seen how many people are stuffed into the hall!

At this time, Zhang Siwei said with a straight face: "Shoufu, although the matter just now is over, it is also true that Wu Ninghou indiscriminately interfered in the salt administration and caused local turmoil, and there should be punishment for this, right?"

Zhang Juzheng twisted his beard and muttered silently when he heard this, looking a little tempted! In his opinion, in the early years, he was right to clean up Liu Haojia from officialdom! It's just that he didn't pay attention to him, so much so that he is now bigger!

So now his idea is to teach Liu Haojia a certain lesson, and then gradually subdue him, and finally be able to bow down to him like Qi Jiguang!

After all, there are not many generals who can fight in Daming now, and those like Qi Jiguang are already old, and he must plan to train a new generation of generals for Daming! So that's why he's silent.

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng was silent, the rest of the rest of Zhang Siwei's faction naturally jumped out to support his words! The content they accused Liu Haojia of being nothing more than old-fashioned, meddling in the salt administration without authorization, causing major changes in the local area, and sabotaging the imperial court's plans.

After they finished speaking, Liu Haojia put his hands behind his back and said, "Elder Zhang Ge said that he would punish the lower officials, but the lower officials don't know what is wrong? Is it wrong to act according to the rules of the court?"

Zhang Siwei snorted and said, "You have neither a salt guide, nor an official certificate, nor an order from the imperial court, so how can you sell salt to Shanxi and border towns without authorization? It's not your fault?".

Liu Haojia shook his head and said, "Elder Zhang Ge, the "Kaizhong Law" implemented by the imperial court is very clear, anyone who transports grain to the border town can be exchanged for salt and sold in proportion, this is the legislation of the imperial court, how can others do it and be a low-ranking official?"

Zhang Siwei said loudly: "The court of the "Open China Law" has long been abolished, so people in the world must have salt to sell salt, and they must have official certificates! If you sell salt without salt, this is selling illicit salt, and it is not a violation of the law to do so, and you dare to lie here!"

Zhang Siwei's words triggered a chorus of hundreds of officials! Even the neutral civil servants are involved! Because they also want to teach Liu Haojia a lesson! After all, there is a difference between civil and military, so when civilian officials teach military attachés, all civilian officials must be consistent with the outside world!

And they admired Zhang Siwei's thinking very much, and immediately convicted Liu Haojia of selling illicit salt, which is a big crime of raiding the house! Although he may not be able to crucify the crime, he can always suffer a little!

After the hundreds of officials stopped talking, Liu Haojia spread his hands and said, "The lower officials asked Elder Zhang Ge, when did the imperial court issue an order to abolish the "Kaizhong Law"?"

Zhang Siwei raised his hand and just wanted to speak, but he was stunned! The officials were also stunned for a moment, and then they turned their heads and ears, carefully asking what the meaning of Liu Haojia's words was?

In fact, the meaning of this statement is very simple, that is, the imperial court has never issued an order to stop the "Open China Law", but because the merchants who send grain to the border pass are excluded by others, and they can't buy salt when they get salt, they have to take the initiative to give up this livelihood!

But this does not mean that the "Open China Law" has been abolished, because it has always existed, but no one has done it anymore! Therefore, Liu Haojia said that he was conducting commercial operations in accordance with the "Open China Law", which is completely reasonable and legal!

Zhang Siwei, who was familiar with the laws of the imperial court, carefully searched in his mind whether the imperial court had issued an order to stop the "Open China Law", but he didn't come up with a clue after thinking about it for a long time! Because the "Kaizhong Law" has been stopped by the people for many years, he has no memory of this at all!

And the other officials are desperately searching in their memories to no avail, they can only turn their heads one by one, trying to get answers from other people, but what they get is still at a loss!

Even Zhang Juzheng was stunned! Because he can't find the answer to this matter in his memory. But he is sure of one thing, that is, since Liu Haojia dares to say this, that is, he must be sure that what he said is right! So he could only sigh in his heart, afraid that the idea of teaching him a lesson this time would fall through again!

At this time, I heard Liu Haojia say, "Elder Zhang Ge, according to Xun

As you know, the imperial court has never abolished the "Kaizhong Law", so Xungui just acts according to the law! If Elder Zhang Ge doesn't believe it, he can order it to be checked, anyway, the will of the imperial court is archived, and a little more people will be sent to check it!"

At this time, Zhang Siwei was so angry that he couldn't help himself, and felt that he was being played by Liu Haojia again! He just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Juzheng first. Zhang Juzheng said with a complicated expression, "Wu Ninghou, have you already checked this matter in advance?"

Liu Haojia immediately restrained his smug expression and said, "Lord Shoufu, this matter has indeed been checked in advance! With Zhang Companion in the inner court, it's easy to check some archives!"

Emperor Wanli was surprised to ask Zhang Jia, "Zhang Jia, have you really sent someone to check?"

Zhang Jia deliberately amplified his voice and said, "Long live Lord, the slave maid has indeed checked! The slaves and maids sent 20 people, and they checked for half a month, and reviewed all the decrees of the imperial court after the promulgation of the "Kaizhong Law", and indeed did not abolish the will of the "Kaizhong Law".

Emperor Wanli smiled when he heard this, and said, "That means that it is completely reasonable and legal for the Liansheng of Wuning's family to send grain to the border town, and then exchange it for salt to be sold in Daming?"

Zhang Jia immediately said, "Long live the Lord Mingjian, this is indeed the case!"

These two people sang and harmonized, and the officials were dumbfounded! They had no idea that things would change like this! In fact, if these civil officials had attacked Liu Haojia for meddling in the salt politics and disrupting the local area and selling illicit salt at the beginning, Emperor Wanli would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure, and maybe it would be possible to give up Liu Haojia!

But they felt that Liu Haojia's imprisonment and beating of the scholar was more deadly, so they put the attack on the heavy hall, and then fell into Liu Haojia's trap! This is like attacking the enemy's defense line, no matter how stalemate the battle is, once the opponent tears a hole in the defense line, it can basically declare the collapse of the whole line!

This is the situation faced by the civil officials now, and the failure of the net they weave has made the entire Luo king lose its deterrent power. Instead, it shifts to the point that everyone has to act according to the law! And this is Liu Haojia's home field!
