As for Hu Bin, who was standing in the middle of the main hall, he was already eager to swallow back every word he said just now! But Liu Haojia clearly didn't have the idea of stopping, he read seventy or eighty articles in one breath before he stopped to take a breath!

The records he recites are extremely extensive! There were not only the silver materials issued to the army, but also all kinds of money materials allocated to various places, and all of these silver materials were completely lost without accident! The number is still around two to three percent!

Liu Haojia seemed to have a dry throat after reading this, he put it down and coughed, looked at Hu Bin who looked like a ghost in front of him and said, "Lord Hu, this official has only drifted more than 800,000 taels of silver, but how many have drifted here? Million? Million? And the official can clearly tell you that this is only the accounts verified this year, and the earlier accounts have not been read by the official! Why, your household department can float tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of silver materials without even leaving the courtyard gate, and the official has more than 800,000 taels of silver drifted across a dozen streets?"

Liu Haojia's words were said in the silent hall, and there were faint echoes! But none of the officials dared to raise their heads to answer, they all cursed angrily and secretly, these more than 800,000 taels of silver must be a trap set by Liu Haojia, no one believed that Liu Haojia really swallowed the chair!

And there is another reason why they dare not answer, that is, most of the people who have a share of the money that has been floated out of the household department have a share of profits, of course, the big head must have been taken by the people of the household department! So it can be said that most of these officials, except for a small number of people, are involved in excessive spoils, so how can they raise their heads and speak?

At this time, Liu Haojia glanced at the hundred officials coldly, and deliberately glanced at the few pavilion elders who stood up, and then turned around and bowed to Emperor Wanli and said, "Your Majesty, there are no rivers and seas in this household, but a lot of silver materials can be washed away before they leave the yamen, probably in the washbasin!" But the minister thought it was impossible to come, so the minister asked Jinyiwei and Dongchang to jointly investigate the household department!"

As soon as he said this, the officials suddenly let out a wail in unison, and at the same time shouted nonsense! "I can't!" "Don't!" There are even some people who simply accuse Hu Bin loudly, saying that everything was done by him, well, the whole hall is in chaos!

At this time, Emperor Wanli grabbed the paperweight on the imperial case and slapped it on the table with a "pop"! This slap instantly shook his hands painfully, but the hall also fell silent instantly, and the hundred officials knelt on the ground with hula..

Emperor Wanli stood behind the imperial case and trembled slightly! Although his hands hurt badly, his heart was extremely happy! It wasn't until today that he felt that being an emperor had some taste!

When he calmed down, I heard him say gloomily, "Yes, yes! I thought that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were all moral people who read the classics of the sages! Especially when I was exhorting me every day, I was so earnest, but I couldn't imagine that all of them were such hypocritical people! Could it be that those moral articles are teaching you how to deceive me? Is your mouth full of righteousness and morality used to fool me?"

When the officials heard this, none of them dared to raise their heads to speak, but they just lowered their heads, lest Emperor Wanli look at them! But they still felt that Emperor Wanli's gaze was stuck on their backs like an awl!

At this time, I heard Emperor Wanli continue: "Liu Haojia! Zhang Jia!"

Liu Haojia and Zhang Jia immediately replied loudly. Then I heard Emperor Wanli roar loudly and said, "The two of you immediately block the household department, and all the officials will take it down together!" Give me a strict investigation and see how much money these shameless people have swallowed me?"

Before Liu Haojia and Zhang Jia could answer, several of the officials kneeling on the ground had already fallen directly to the ground, obviously fainting! You don't have to look at it to know that it must be an official of the household department! As for the other officials, they shrunk their bodies even tighter!

At this moment, I heard a voice say slowly: "Your Majesty, slow down, the old minister has something to say!"

The officials were all relieved to hear this voice! Because the person who spoke was none other than Zhang Juzheng! Therefore, the officials relaxed their bodies, and they were praising Zhang Juzheng in their hearts!

Zhang Juzheng first bowed to Emperor Wanli and then said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say to Wu Ninghou, and I ask Your Majesty for permission!"

Hearing this, Emperor Wanli felt that all 36,000 pores in his body were opened, and the comfort was simply incomparable! Because Zhang Juzheng had never been so polite when he talked to him before!

In the past, when the two of them were studying in the study, Zhang Juzheng was very harsh to him, and scolded him loudly if he made a slight mistake! If it weren't for the fact that he had the identity of an emperor, I was afraid that he would have to take a few more lashes! Even in the court, although Zhang Juzheng would not speak loudly to Emperor Wanli, he had always adopted an attitude of ignorance! The matter of the hundred officials has always been a direct decision, and his opinion has never been sought. The Wanli Emperor is like a puppet emperor!

But today Zhang Juzheng not only spoke to him with a kind attitude, but also bowed down first, which had never been done before! This made Emperor Wanli even more grateful to Liu Haojia, and at the same time, he felt that this emperor had made some flavor!

But he was finished with triumph, and there was a wave of disappointment in his heart! Because he remembered the opinion thing, that is, Liu Haojia told him that it was impossible for them to chase and beat the civil officials! The reason is very simple, the huge Ming Empire still has to rely on these officials to support, and it is impossible to kill all the officials! Then the country is finished!

And even if all these officials are killed, the people who come up are still civil officials with the same mind! They will still act like the previous officials, and they will even be more greedy than the current officials who eat their brains!

So Emperor Wanli took a deep breath after seeing Zhang Juzheng come forward and said, "Mr. Zhang, you say it!"

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng bowed down again, then turned around and looked Liu Haojia up and down, as if it was the first time he had seen this person! His blazing gaze gave Liu Haojia great pressure! But Liu Haojia has the ticket to victory, so he naturally doesn't care about looking at him!

After the two looked at each other for a long time, Zhang Juzheng sighed slightly and said, "Lord Liu, what are you doing here? Do you want to mess up the whole Ming Dynasty?"

Liu Haojia sneered and said, "Lord Shoufu, Xia Guan doesn't think he is disturbing Daming! On the contrary, the lower officials are defending the country!"
