Xu Guangqi's words made Han Yi and the others hesitate.

It's not that they think there is anything wrong with what Xu Guangqi said, but that they think what Xu Guangqi said is true.

If this Chen Qing is really like Hai Rui, maybe His Majesty will really reuse him.

One thing is very clear, although Han Yi and the others have not spent a very long time with His Majesty, they are actually not short. For them, what kind of temper His Majesty has, they already have some numbers in their hearts.

For example, His Majesty does not like to compromise, and he will not be threatened. For example, His Majesty often does not consider traditional things when doing things, but will start from some very strange angles.

In a word, whatever His Majesty will do, it will not come as a surprise.

You say that Your Majesty is moody, and neither is he, in short, it feels very weird.

You say that Your Majesty is not wise, many of the things he has done are praised by everyone, but many times people are speechless, and even feel that this is a mediocre emperor.

His Majesty gave people a very contradictory feeling, of course, this was only the feeling of the four cabinet scholars present.

If you want to let the outside world evaluate, some people will think that His Majesty may be a wise man, but I am afraid that there are few such people;

More people don't have a high opinion of His Majesty, and even many people will secretly spray His Majesty like Chen Qing.

This is also the reason why Han Yi and others are worried that things will make a big fuss.

"It's none of our business." Han Yi sat up straight and said slowly: "No matter what happens to this Chen Qing, it doesn't have much to do with us. If there is something wrong with this Chen Qing itself, such as corruption, or dereliction of duty, it is a good thing for us. ”

Sun Chengzong instantly comprehended Han Yi's meaning. All they want to defend is their right to speak, and not let His Majesty kill people because of his words.

If this Chen Qing had other mistakes, then His Majesty would have nothing to blame for killing him, as long as it wasn't because he said the wrong thing and killed him.

After all, all he needs is a fig leaf, not a real desire to protect him.

The other two glanced at each other, of course they also knew the meaning of Han Yi's words, and at the same time understood what this sentence meant, but they couldn't say it thoroughly, otherwise it would seem that they had no lower limit.

At the same time, Han Yi's words also reminded one thing, that is, no one can be Hai Rui.

The reason why Hai Rui was able to achieve that level back then was because this person was very good in his own right, at least he couldn't find fault with it.

So none of the three Sun Chengzong spoke.

Seeing that the three of them didn't speak, Han Yi said directly: "Now go find the people below, let them not talk nonsense, and don't follow Chen Qing and them to make a fool." ”

"Let's take a look at the outcome of the matter first and see if there is something wrong with this Chen Qing. Isn't Jinyiwei checking on him? Wait until the results are in. ”

Several people nodded, and they reached an agreement on this matter. In this way, Han Yi and the others stopped staying in the duty room, and each returned to their own places, and soon began to get busy, as if nothing had happened.

In the West Garden.

Zhu Youxiao was reading Hai Rui's information.

After looking through some of them, Zhu Youxiao really found something of interest.

Before he crossed over, he had heard a lot of legends about Hai Rui, and more about his honest side.

Of course, there are also sides of Hai Jui's judgment, such as his bias towards the poor and extortion of the rich. When the case is decided, it is to let the rich take the money to settle the poor, so it will be supported by the poor.

What else is there to starve to death because of the name of the daughter, etc., it can be said that the legend about Hai Jui is called a god.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not believe in these two items.

said that Hai Rui's reading values fame, which Zhu Youxiao believes; But to say that Hai Rui starved to death because of this daughter, Zhu Youxiao didn't believe it, because there was no official historical record at all, and it was all rumors.

According to Yao Shuxiang's "See Only Edition" in the Ming Dynasty:

Hai Jui's family was poor. One day, he saw his five-year-old daughter eating a cake and asked who gave it to him.

When he learned that it was given by a servant, Hai Jui was furious and said, "How can a good woman accept things from men casually? Only you starve to death are my Hai Rui's daughter! ”

Hai Rui's daughter was so frightened that she couldn't stop crying, she didn't drink or eat, and it was useless for the family to coax her and persuade her, and she finally starved to death after seven days.

Regarding the fact that Hai Rui starved to death of his daughter because of his importance of honor, Zhou Lianggong, a Qing scholar, also mentioned it in his book "Book Shadow". However, this incident is not recorded in the official histories such as "History of the Ming Dynasty", "Ming Shilu", and "Guoyu".

If there is really such a thing, Zhu Youxiao does not believe that those historical facts are not recorded, especially the history of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the records of the above case, Zhu Youxiao actually didn't believe it, but he didn't find some tangible evidence.

But when I was looking through the information today, Zhu Youxiao really found something interesting.

"Whoever is suspicious of a lawsuit shall submit to his brother rather than his brother; Rather than bend to his uncle and nephew; Rather than bend to the poor, it is better to bend to the rich; Rather than be stupid, it is better to be stubborn.

"The matter is fighting for the industry, rather than succumbing to the small people, it is better to bend the eunuchs in order to save the disadvantages.

"Things are arguing about appearance, rather than succumbing to the eunuchs, rather bending to the small people, in order to survive."

This idea and strategy was put forward by Hai Rui. This is indeed a very important reason why Hai Jui was criticized in later generations.

Hai Jui's words will definitely not work in later generations, and will inevitably be criticized. But these words are spoken in this age, and they are blessed by all the peoples.

The reason is also very simple, this is based on Confucius's idea of "the father is hidden for the son, and the son is hidden for the father", as well as a set of township rules and civil covenant system established according to this thought.

This is the mainstream idea in this day and age, and it is politically correct.

However, these are not the things that interest Zhu Youxiao, what really interests him is another thing.

Immediately after Hai Jui took up his post as governor of Yingtian, he promulgated the "Constitution of the Governor," stipulating that when the governor went out to inspect various places, the government, prefecture, and county officials were not allowed to go out of the city to greet him, nor were he allowed to hold banquets and entertain them.

Considering that the court officials might still have to be a little more respectable, Hai Jui allowed chicken, fish, and pork to be served as a working meal, but not to serve goose and rice wine, and not to exceed the food standard.

This food standard is: where the price is high, the silver is three coins; Where prices are low, two cents. In addition, even the expenses for candles and firewood are also included in the above figures.

The more Zhu Youxiao looked at this policy, the more familiar he became, and he was even a little happy to see it, and at the same time he felt some emotion.

It is no wonder that Hai Rui is not excluded from coming up with such a policy.

Reaching out and putting Hai Rui's information on the table, Zhu Youxiao rubbed his forehead.

It would be nice if there was an official like Hai Rui under his subordinates, at least he was not afraid of death, and he could become a sharp knife in his hand.

As long as he can put such a person in the right position, he will be able to do a lot for himself.

Although such a person will have many limitations, there will be many things that are not suitable, and he is not the perfect official candidate in his heart, but Zhu Youxiao never thought that he could find a perfect official candidate that meets his heart.

This may not be possible in later generations, and it is even more impossible in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao only wants officials who conform to his own ideas, and he only wants officials who can do things for himself.

I hope this Chen Qing is like Hai Rui. If it really is. This person really needs to be reused.

"Emperor," at this time, Chen Hong walked over and said softly, "It's time to eat." ”

Zhu Youxiao raised his head and glanced at the sky and found that it was already sunset.

Hearing Chen Hong say this at this time, Zhu Youxiao finally felt a little hungry, rubbed his stomach, stood up and said, "Then let's go eat." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed and led the way in front.

Zhu Youxiao was in a bad mood today, so he didn't go to Queen Zhang's to have dinner with her.

Otherwise, Baozhu should be worried again when he sees that he is in a heavy mind, and he doesn't want to bring such a mood to Baozhu.

After dinner, Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong and asked, "Is it the day of the Royal Academy exam tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, Emperor." After saying this, Chen Hong looked at Zhu Youxiao cautiously and said, "Will the emperor go out tomorrow?" ”

Saying that, Chen Hong looked at his emperor with some concern. The reason is very simple, if such a big thing happened today, is the emperor still in the mood?

Glancing at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Why don't you go?" You think this little thing will delay me from doing anything else? ”

"That Chen Qing is hateful, but he hasn't given up doing business for him. You prepare well, and we'll go out as usual tomorrow. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The slaves and maids have already been arranged. Chen Hong nodded hurriedly and said.

In fact, Chen Hong had prepared this matter a few days earlier, and there was nothing left to prepare, after all, the emperor had decided to go and see it before.

I asked that just now, but I was just asking if the emperor wanted to cancel.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "That's good." Let's go, go out for a walk with me. ”

Every day after dinner, Zhu Youxiao would take a walk.

He didn't want to collapse his body, as the saying goes, "100 steps after dinner, you can live 99", so he has always adhered to this habit.

It's just that as soon as he got out of the door, Zhu Youxiao saw Queen Zhang walking towards him.

After seeing Empress Zhang, Zhu Youxiao won with a smile and said, "Why did the jewel come over?" ”

"The concubine came to walk with His Majesty." Empress Zhang said with a smile, and at the same time walked to Zhu Youxiao's side and took the initiative to reach out and hold him.

This action made Zhu Youxiao slightly stunned.

This is not like Queen Zhang's style, she would never do such an action on weekdays.

Walking with yourself seems to be a lie.

This is knowing that he is in a bad mood, so he came to relax with himself.

Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt a little warm in his heart, stretched out his hand and patted Queen Zhang's hand gently, and said with a smile: "Then let's go with me." ”
