Hai Jui's filial piety is also famous, so the formation of this character is directly related to his family background and special experience.

Hai Jui lost his father at the age of four, and his mother Xie was widowed in her prime, and the young Hai Jui depended on each other, he regarded his mother as an angelic protector, and obeyed what his mother said since he was a child. The mother and son initially lived a poor life on Hainan Island, relying on the ten acres of thin fields left by their ancestors to make a living.

Xie Shi was well aware of the importance of early childhood education, and asked him to read sage books such as "The Book of Filial Piety", "Shangshu" and "The Mean" at the stage of enlightenment learning, and firmly established the Confucian moral concept in the depths of Hai Jui's heart. In order to make progress in his studies, Xie Shi can be said to have worked hard, and he did not allow the young Hai Rui to play and play. So from childhood to adulthood, Hai Jui has no sense of humor, is not good at making friends, is always old-fashioned, has clear words, and is the image of an old master. Under the influence of the deformed cultivation of maternal love, he developed a withdrawn psychology and a stubborn character of admitting death.

Hai Rui has been married three times in his life, and has accepted two concubines, after the eldest lady Pan married into the Hai family, she is hardworking and hardworking, and her temperament is also good, but Xie finds fault everywhere, scolds her for being the reincarnation of a female mule, and instigates her son to continue the string. The reason is very simple, Pan has not had children for many years, which is the reason why he was scolded as a female mule, because the mule has no fertility, which hinders the unfilial piety and the etiquette of the three, and there is no queen for the great etiquette, he had to divorce his wife Pan.

The successor Xu gave birth to two daughters, who were not tolerated by Hai Mu, who had a profound feudal ethical concept, and was expelled from the house for the same reason; Another concubine, who lived in humiliation, hanged herself in the same month.

Of the five women who married Hai Rui, four ended up like this, among which Hai Rui's affection was mainly due to Hai Rui's cunning and meanness, using her daughter-in-law as a punching bag, and after she became the master of the family, she must be a mother who picks bones in eggs. She is the cultivator of Hai Rui's loyalty and filial piety, and also the initiator of the tragedy of the Hai family, from the tragic fate of the four wives and concubines, it can be seen that Hai Rui obeys his mother's orders, and even beats and scolds his daughter-in-law as long as the mother is not angry, she is filial piety, and she never cares about the other party's life or death and feelings.

He has to face his wife and concubine with a straight face every day, and don't talk about it, otherwise his mother will embarrass him. Hai Mu's behavior was criticized by the people at the time, but no force could stop Hai Rui from being filial to his mother, he would never disobey his mother's wishes, just as he was loyal to the emperor regardless of life and death, he did not care about the attacks of political opponents, the criticism of the times, and even more disregarded the conscience of heaven, and watched his wives and concubines fall away from him one by one.

The filial piety that Hai Rui upholds is not only about caring for and supporting her old mother, but also contains unconditional obedience, and even acts as an accomplice to her abuse. It is the distortion of his concept of filial piety that all normal human nature, including the loving relationship between husband and wife, has to give way, which is the core of filial piety in Hai Rui's bones.

It is precisely this kind of filial piety concept that drives the sea blue sky, who is sitting in danger, to become a hateful dressed beast while stressing benevolence, righteousness and morality. When he was in his thirties and forties, he often slept in the same room with his mother, snubbed his wife and concubines, and he had no independent personality and independent married life in the face of filial piety, could such a husband and wife relationship be happy?

Hai Jui's filial piety is also seen in his attitude towards his children, Hai Jui has a daughter who is only five years old, one day, Hai Jui saw her eating a piece of bread, so he asked: "Who gave you a cake to eat?"

The daughter replied, "It's a certain boy." ”

Hai Jui was furious: "How can a girl's family accept a boy's bread casually? You are not my daughter, and if you can starve to death without eating, you will be my daughter." ”

The daughter cried, and sure enough, she stopped eating, and on the seventh day she starved to death.

Judging from Hai Rui's personality, he did what he said and asked his family to do it, and there was absolutely no room for accommodation, so that he forced his five-year-old daughter to die without eating. His methods were so cruel that they felt incredible. From this, it can be seen that Hai Rui is a defender of feudal etiquette, and in the process of harming others and himself, he has become insensitive.

Hai Jui won the hearts of the people, but he was very unofficial, and he was quite isolated in the officialdom and the imperial court. High-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty can routinely ask for gifts for their parents to glorify the township, but Hai Rui, who is a second-class official, has no ability to ask for the honorific title of Mrs. Tai for his mother, which is a rare exception at that time, which proves that Hai's mother and daughter are not virtuous.

Hai Jui did put forward many good policies for governing the country in his life, but very few of them were adopted and implemented. He was able to exert his ambitions and vigorously implement his political views, and only did something when he was governor of Yingtian Shifu, but the time was short, only half a year.

Except for the results of dredging the rivers of the county administration and cashing in for work, everything else was abolished after he left office. Hai Rui was, at best, a clean and self-disciplined Qing official who had no substantial influence on the political, economic, and social life of the Ming Dynasty, and was largely a moral exemplar.

The common people support Hai Qingtian, but the officials respect and fear him. As soon as they heard that they wanted to work with Hai Rui, it was like meeting a plague god, and their scalp was numb, and they were stunned and afraid to avoid it. When Hai Rui was promoted to governor of Yingtian Shifu, as soon as his appointment announcement was announced, the officials and eunuchs who had a little face in Yingtianshifu asked to be transferred to other places, and some even left their jobs voluntarily, preferring to throw away their black yarn hats rather than work with him.

Shortly after Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong took over the imperial power from Emperor Jiajing, he commented on Hai Rui: "It is inappropriate to use him for practical work, but it is just right to use him as a moral example." ”

It is said that he was very sad to see the comments of the Wanli Emperor, and submitted his resignation seven times in a row, but each time he was not allowed. He was like a deflated ball, spending his days in a high position with nothing to do, and soon he passed away depressed.

Hai Rui's experience in his career shows that his concept of loyalty and filial piety had a reasonable core in that era, but foolish loyalty and filial piety went too far, and the mainstream consciousness of society was not accepted. Because of this, the lack of ambition and the lack of good strategies for governing the world are the topics that this innocent official left for future generations to think about.

Ming Muzong died suddenly due to a stroke, and the nine-year-old crown prince Zhu Yijun succeeded to the throne and changed the Yuan Wanli. Due to his young age as the regent of the Empress Dowager, the important minister Gao Gong was dismissed for confronting the Empress Dowager's trusted eunuch Feng Bao, while Zhang Juzheng received Feng Bao's full support.

Zhang Juzheng was an assistant to the government for 10 years, carried out reforms, and in the field of internal affairs, he implemented the examination law, abolished redundant officials and redundant personnel in government agencies, and rectified the postal and public administration. Economically, the land of the whole country was cleared, the powerful landlords were suppressed, the system of servitude was reformed, and a whip law was implemented to reduce the burden on the peasants.

Militarily, it strengthened the rectification of armaments, quelled the riots in the southwest, and reused the three towns of Ji, Chang, and Bao, the famous anti-Japanese generals, to train troops to guard the Great Wall, so that the border was safe. Zhang Juzheng also used Pan Jitao to control the Yellow River, turning floods into water conservancy. At the same time, Zhang Juzheng severely punished corrupt officials and corrupt officials, eliminated redundant personnel, and Zhang Juzheng rectified the dynasty and reformed the system, which was known as Wanli Zhongxing in history.

Zhang Juzheng's death, according to common sense, he needs to keep filial piety for three years, but Zhang Juzheng thought that the reform cause was not completed and was unwilling to keep filial piety, and his political enemies made a big fuss. In the end, with the support of Mingshenzong and the two empress dowagers, Zhang Juzheng was continued to be reused, so that his reform was not interrupted.

But this became an excuse for his political enemies, and at the same time, Zhang Juzheng used his power to get his parents and children to enter the Hanlin Academy through the imperial examination. After his death, Zhang Juzheng was liquidated by political opponents who opposed reform, and Zhang's family was imprisoned in their homes, more than a dozen people starved to death, and they were also deprived of their official titles during their lifetime.

Mingshenzong Zhu Yijun, the third son of Ming Muzong, was made the crown prince in the second year of Longqing, and was only six years old at the time. In the sixth year of Longqing, Mu Zong died, and the ten-year-old Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, and the following year he changed to Yuan Wanli, reigning for forty-eight years, and was the longest reigning emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the first ten years of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng, a scholar, assisted Mingshenzong in handling the government, and the social and economic development was relatively fast, and the people of Li could live and work in peace and contentment. Ten years later, Zhang Juzheng died, and Mingshenzong began to govern pro-government, and was diligent in government affairs for a period of time, and later quit the dynasty for 30 years because of conflicts with the civil official group.

Thirty years after the resignation of the Ming God Sect, known as the period of drunken dreams, during this period the Ming God Sect was sluggish in the court, the courage to collect wealth, not the suburbs and temples did not go to the court for thirty years, and was isolated from the outer court. So when did the Myojin Sect change from an aspiring emperor to an emperor who wasted the government? What made this once ambitious son of the Great Tomorrow degenerate so badly?

On the surface, the reason why Mingshenzong was desolate in political affairs and unwilling to come to the dynasty was first because he favored Concubine Zheng Guifei, and then because he hated the partisan dispute between ministers. But the main reason is that Mingshenzong's body is weak and his mobility is inconvenient, of course, behind his weak body, there is undoubtedly an excessive wine-colored wealth.

Dali Temple's left commentator Yu Yuren wrote a recital, in which he criticized Mingshenzong for indulging in wine, sex, wealth, and gas, and offered four proverbs. Such interference in the private life of the Supreme Emperor of the Ninety-Five Dynasty made Mingshenzong very angry, but fortunately, Shen Shixing, a scholar of the Shoufu University, tactfully enlightened, saying that if the emperor wanted to deal with Yu Yuren, it was undoubtedly an admission that Yu Yuren's criticism was true, and the subjects outside would believe it, and finally Yu Yuren was dismissed as a commoner.

During this period, the commodity economy in the south of the Yangtze River was highly developed, the germ of capitalist production relations appeared, and the national and economic aggregates reached the peak of ancient China, but the class contradictions were also increasingly intensified, and the party struggle of the civilian-bureaucratic group made the politics increasingly corrupt and dark, and the Jurchens in the northeast took advantage of the weakness to rise, thus planting the bane of the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Mingshenzong is addicted to wine, and even plays with the same sex, that is, while playing with beautiful women, he also plays with little eunuchs. At that time, there were ten eunuchs in the palace who looked very similar to the embroidered hundred children unearthed in Dingling, which was specially given to the emperor, Chengen and the emperor lay down together, known as Shijun, so Yu Yuren's recital was fortunate that Shijun was criticized for opening the door of deception, which was a little similar to his ancestor Mingwuzong.

As for the greed for money, Mingshenzong can be said to be the most famous among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, after he became pro-government, he confiscated the family property of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, and let the eunuch Zhang Cheng move into the palace and put it at his disposal. In order to plunder the money, he sent mine supervisors and tax supervisors to various places to search for people's fat and ointment.

Due to the excessive color of the wine, the body of the Mingshenzong was extremely weak, and the Mingshenzong, who was only twenty-four years old, sent a message to the cabinet, saying that he was dizzy and weak for a while. Lu Hongchun, the director of the Ministry of Rites, specially neglected for this reason, pointing out that liver deficiency will cause dizziness and dizziness, and kidney deficiency will cause low back pain and sperm discharge.

In the eighteenth year of Wanli, Mingshenzong claimed that his back was painful and his feet were weak, and it was inconvenient to stand. In the thirtieth year of Wanli, Mingshenzong once because of the aggravation of his illness, he summoned the first assistant Shen to enter the cabinet to entrust the future, which shows that the physical condition of Mingshenzong is really deteriorating at this time, so during the pro-government of Mingshenzong, he rarely went to court.

His main method of handling political affairs was to pass on to the following through the form of edicts, and the three major military campaigns carried out during the Wanli period, such as the pacification of the Bibai Rebellion, the War of Aid to Korea, and the pacification of Yang Yinglong's rebellion, were all carried out in the form of edicts, rather than the form of summoning the ministers as hoped. After the end of the three major conquests, the Myojin Sect seemed to be even less interested in the ministers' reciprocal remarks.

Therefore, the situation of Mingshenzong's abandonment of the government, the front was unwilling to go to the court to listen to the government, and the back did not even reply to the ministers' recitals, and directly stayed in the middle and did not send it. According to the Ming system, the emperor was the sole decision-maker on major government matters, and if the emperor was unwilling to dispose of it but did not easily delegate authority to eunuchs or ministers, the operation of the entire court could come to a standstill. Therefore, this irresponsible strike taken by the Mingshen Sect in order to curry favor with the favored concubine undoubtedly brought fatal consequences to the Ming Dynasty.

By the thirtieth year of Wanli, the phenomenon of official vacancies had become very serious. In this year, there was a shortage of three scholars and 10 squires in the southern and northern capitals, and there was a shortage of three governors, 66 political envoys and envoys, and 25 prefects. According to the normal establishment, there should be 12 Shangshu and 24 squires in the six departments of the two capitals in the south and north, and nearly one-third of them were missing in total at this time.
