"Back to Your Highness, I feel that the marriage should be considered comprehensively based on the man's family background, official position, appearance, conduct, spiritual practice and other conditions."

The officials of the Ministry of Rites obviously also realized that something was wrong.

It's just that I didn't think about doing Tai Chi until now. Isn't it too late?

When the empress heard this man asking, she first glanced at the Minister of Industry.

Then he spoke word by word.

"The family is well off and rich all over the world."

"Second official residence, Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

"Ugly, crooked and cracked."

"Bad conduct, corruption and perversion of the law."

"I can't practice enough, I am an eighth-grade scholar."

"How much do you think a betrothal gift should be for such a person?"

At first, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had no idea when they heard that his family was well off and wealthy.

After all, the empress could get financial support from marrying that kind of person, which was a rare good deal.

But when the empress mentioned that she was the second-rank official, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, cold sweat began to break out on the forehead of this official of the Ministry of Rites.

When it comes to his bad conduct, taking bribes and bending the law, his knees weaken and he falls to the ground.

Kneeling with him were also officials from the Ministry of Works, big and small, as long as they were officials from the Ministry of Works who had the right to go to court.

At this moment, everyone was kneeling on the ground.

There is no trace of the way they fought to the death to request funding.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites on the other side also became cowardly and no longer upright as before.

"Your Highness, Your Highness...this...this..."

"Okay, since you can't speak, don't speak anymore. Just go and collect the punishment yourself later. I still have something to ask the Minister of Industry."

The empress turned her attention to the Minister of Industry.

If she didn't want to attack two departments at the same time, she was afraid that the officials' resistance would be too strong and difficult to manage.

When this official of the Ministry of Rites tried to interfere in the affairs of the Tian family, he was already dead.

In the final analysis, she has been too merciful since she came to the throne, which led to these people being arrogant.

"Minister of the Ministry of Industry, some people say that you embezzled thirteen million taels of silver in three months. Please come and explain to me."

The empress said and threw the account book to the ground.

Although the Minister of Industry had also heard reports from the Ministry of Industry before.

But when he saw these data, he was still very shocked, because wasn't it said before that it would not exceed 10 million taels?

This is 13 million taels of silver. He is not greedy for that much. The silver he has dealt with is only 5 million taels.

Shangshu Hube subconsciously wanted to throw these things into the brazier on the side.

But the empress' words made his movements freeze in place.

"Don't throw it away in a hurry. Zheng Aiqing and I wrote it all afternoon. If you don't want to read it carefully."

"We can ask Zheng Aiqing to read it out loud. It just so happens that we can also ask others to hear how these thirteen thousand taels of silver came from."

It's no longer possible to destroy the evidence now. After all, the Minister of Industry can burn the text.

But he couldn't clear Zheng Xiu's mind.

But he really didn't greedy that much for these thirteen million taels of silver.

Even though he is indeed greedy a lot.

But because there is no ledger record.

He estimated that he only transferred five million taels.

This is just what he has passed through, and more than half of it will never reach his hands.

But in this situation, yellow mud just fell into his crotch. He is either feces or feces, it is impossible to tell.

Or else, would you say that you only embezzled five million taels of silver? Then the whole family of everyone in the Ministry of Industry will be sent to the execution ground, and everyone will be infamy for thousands of years.

Or just take all these things off, even though you will definitely die, and so will your wife, children, and children.

But as long as someone remembers his kindness and remembers to reverse his case, even if he dies, it won't be an ugly death.

Thinking of this, Shangshu Hube was about to speak, but he heard the empress say.

"Minister of the Ministry of Industry, I know that such a big thing has happened, and you must feel uncomfortable and uneasy, but you have to think clearly before talking about it."

"After all, I am really angry."

After the empress finished speaking, she took a sip of the tea on the Long Book Table, and then looked at the Minister of Industry over there with a smile.

"You think about it slowly, I have plenty of time, and I believe other adults are not in a hurry."

"After all, this time, I want to settle the accounts with you all."

The empress's words were full of murderous intent, her eyes widened and she stared at the Minister of Works.

In this way, time passed bit by bit, and the sweat of the Minister of Industry gradually moistened the court clothes.

The whole person looked as if he had just been fished out.

In the end, the unparalleled Minister of Industry could only mumble.

He spoke a few words as loudly as a mosquito.

"I, I don't know."

"Okay, what I want is that you don't know a word."

When the Minister of Libu and the Minister of Hubu heard the word "I don't know", they knew something was wrong.

But the second-grade martial arts empress who had hidden her secrets took over the conversation before anyone else.

"The Minister of the Ministry of Industry, his eyesight is dim, and his subordinates are incompetent. I will temporarily put him in prison and wait for the result."

"In addition, Zheng Xiu, the head of the Ministry of Industry, was promoted to the first rank. He was given a yellow vest and became a senior official."

When Zheng Xiu heard that his reward had arrived, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty Zheng Xiu, thank you for your kindness!"

At this moment, Zheng Xiu's appearance became very hateful in the eyes of other officials.

They were even wondering why there was such a traitor among them.

A ridiculous clown, a jester who will live in infamy for eternity.

At this moment, more than half of the people couldn't help but quickly remove Zheng Xiu and replace him.

When the empress saw Zheng Xiu receiving the order, she asked again: "Who is willing to investigate this matter thoroughly?"

As soon as the empress finished speaking, the Minister of Hube on the side fell to his knees.

"Your Highness, I believe that the Minister of Industry is just confused for a moment, and I would like to ask Your Highness to take back his order."

The Minister of Civil Affairs also knelt down together and then spoke.

"Your Highness, please take back your order."

As the two ministers knelt down on the ground, others also knelt down one after another, just like making dumplings.

"Your Highness, please take back your order."

"Your Highness, please take back your order."

"Your Highness, please take back your order."

When the four academicians of the day saw this scene, they immediately felt a cold air pass from their back spines to Tianling Gai.

It wouldn't have mattered if these ministers had done this before this happened.

Because the empress's imperial skills were not up to par, she could only choose to compromise.

But now the situation has changed, the empress is very angry, these people forcing the palace like this is a way to die.

Someone has to step forward to take advantage of these people, otherwise the situation they have worked so hard to maintain will be over.
