The driver of the car is a political envoy, and he is now tired of the uncle behind him, but he can't afford to offend, he can't beat or scold, and he can't talk seriously.

Originally, he still carried the silver over, and hired a small sedan chair to carry him to the capital.

But this one is good, you have to ride a donkey, you are so old, I dare to let you ride a donkey? If I really get you sick, I will have to pay for my own little life, and I have no choice but to hire a donkey cart.

The food along the way, none of which went well, finally breathed a sigh of relief when I arrived in the capital.

Hai Rui will not argue with this handlebar style, but raised his head and looked at the city gate in front of him, the capital, he has not been to the capital for many years. After a while, Hai Rui sighed lightly and said, "Okay, let's go!" ”

Although Hai Rui's entry into the city is not a big deal, everyone is still cautious about the arrival of this person.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun listened to Zhang Whale's report behind him, and nodded lightly, Hai Rui is here, so it's okay. After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yijun opened his mouth and said: "Let the Tai Hospital send someone over to show him, don't do nothing, your body won't work first." ”

"Yes, Emperor, the old slave will arrange it!" Zhang Whale hurriedly agreed.

Zhu Yijun arranged a place for Hai Rui and arranged a royal doctor, thinking that Hai Rui would stop for a few days and wait for a result from Yanzheng. Unexpectedly, Hai Rui didn't stop and directly made a big deal for Zhu Yijun.

When a copy of Hai Jui's recital was delivered to the cabinet, it could be said that one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The opening chapter of the recital quotes a sentence from "Confucius's Family Sayings: The Oath of Sleepiness": "If you are not like a fish, you will die and die, and you will be loyal to your monarch, which cannot be described as straightforward!" Then he also expressed his heart: "The minister is willing to follow the example of the sages and admonish His Majesty." ”

Whoever looks at these words should admire it, Hai Rui, who is already seventy-two years old, is admonished by His Majesty.

As the saying goes, "Raise your head to the sky and drink the donkey, and seal the grass to the sun, that is, you are the minister of the corpse, and you will die as the ghost of the holy pilgrimage." Hai Rui made a move, and it was really extraordinary. It's just that the content of Hai Rui's twists and turns made a group of civil officials creepy.

Before the fold reached Zhu Yijun's hand, the opposing fold began to be written.

Zhu Yijun looked at Hai Rui's twists and turns, and the taste in his heart was very complicated.

In the recital, Hai Rui wrote in detail about the suffering of the people, the corrupt officials are rampant, the people work hard every day, but they are miserable, the gentry and nobles are constantly pressing on the people's heads, and the people will soon be unable to live.

If it goes on like this, the Ming Kingdom will not be a country!

Zhu Yijun has seen such words, Wenchen always likes to hang these things on the top, Zhu Yijun always disdainfully threw the folds aside, and didn't even look at them, but at this moment, looking at Hai Rui's twists and turns, Zhu Yijun's heart was very unpleasant.

Different from other people's twists and turns, Hai Rui's twists and turns are written with sincerity, so that people can know at a glance that he has experienced it personally.

At the end of the recital, Hai Rui also introduced the life of the people to Zhu Yijun, and after paying the land rent and miscellaneous taxes on the grain harvested every year, the harvest was not enough for the family to eat for half a year. You need to rely on firewood to dig wild vegetables and hunt to fill the rest of your stomach, and if you are sick and look down on your family, if you are injured and dead while chopping wood and hunting, then the family will be finished.

Selling children and daughters is a common thing, and there are a lot of beggars along the streets, and the people can't live anymore.

Those nobles, those rich people, what Yangzhou thin horses to buy, those are the daughters of poor families, they can't live anymore, they sell people, like livestock, for these people to have fun, what a tragedy in the world.

There are still people who are vassals and elegant, and there are people who write poems to praise them, what a shame it is.

At the end of the recital, Hai Rui also put forward his own ideas, at this time, it is necessary to clean up the hearts of the people of the world, and it is necessary to use heavy classics, learn from Emperor Taizu, restore the old system of Taizu, and restore everything to that era.

Hai Jui's detailed list of Emperor Taizu's criminal law, skinning people and putting them on grass to make skins, and the law of perverting the law to sentence him to death by hanging for 80 strokes, saying that corruption should be punished in this way.

Zhu Yijun put down Hai Rui's recital and sighed deeply.

In Hai Rui's vision, when the Ming Dynasty was founded, it was an ideal country, and it was the best era, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the officials were diligent and self-controlled. By now, the Ming Dynasty has declined.

If you want to restore the glory of the ancestors from the glory of the Ming Dynasty, you must restore the system of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Among these systems, the most important is the strict law, and only the strict law can make people afraid, and only by making people afraid can people not do evil, and officials will not be greedy and will not pervert the law.

Therefore, Hai Rui hoped that he could learn from Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and was sentenced to hanging for 80 times for embezzlement.

Hai Rui, he realized the problem of Daming, and he was also actively thinking of a way for Daming, a seventy-two-year-old person, still serving the country, Zhu Yijun had some astringent circles in his eyes. Although the method he thought of was not necessarily feasible, this heart was not available to the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe Hai Rui didn't know that Da Ming became like this, not just to restore the Taizu system, this is the limitation of his knowledge, but also the limitation of the times, but Zhu Yijun can still feel Hai Rui's patriotism.

"Corpse!"

Zhu Yijun tapped the fold in his hand, said these two words softly, and sighed helplessly.

Now Zhu Yijun somewhat understands why Hai Rui has been honest and self-disciplined all his life, his life is very poor, but this has to be compared with whom. Compared with those who live in the eight seats in the high school imperial examination, he is indeed very poor, and he is terribly poor.

But compared with the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, he lived a good life, with the court's wealth, and rice and vegetables at home.

Hai Jui regarded himself as a common man, never felt that he was superior to others, never felt that he was different from the people, so looking at what he did, you can understand why Hai Jui would do so extremely.

Putting down the fold, Zhu Yijun sighed, Hai Rui has a high reputation among the people, not for no reason.

Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, this is not Hai Jui, being an official for the sake of promotion is not Hai Jui. Wholeheartedly for the country and for the people, this is Hai Rui, Zhu Yijun's eyes were a little sour, and he turned his head to Zhang Whale with a smile and said, "Where is Hai Rui?" ”

"Go back to the emperor and be in the courtyard arranged for him by the emperor!" Zhang Whale hurriedly said.

It was a small yard, which Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Whale to choose, it was very shabby, and there were no decent furniture and things. However, it is very close to the General Political Envoy, a few steps away, after all, Hai Rui is not young.

Nodding, Zhu Yijun said, "Arrange for him to enter the palace, I want to see him." ”

Zhu Yijun really wants to see Hai Rui, listen to what he said, two lives, Hai Rui's reputation is like thunder, if you don't see it, it is a pity, the stone of his mountain can attack jade!
