Although Zhu Houzhao also met Hai Jui alone, with his understanding of history, he knew that an idealist like Hai Jui was often not tolerated by the entire civilian-bureaucratic group.

Although Hai Rui in this life did not go to Nanping County to become a teacher after failing to be a jinshi many times in the middle school as in his previous life, he obviously did not change his character, otherwise he would not have been dismissed because of his exposure of court push fraud.

But Zhu Houzhao is not Jiajing, and he who knows Hai Jui will not let such an idealist leave the power center of the empire, nor will he be promoted openly and secretly, just as a signboard of a clean official.

Chen Dian, a member of the Information Department, was sipping tea and asked his cronies: "Has the order of the Ministry come down, has that Hai Rui been dismissed?" ”

"There is no news from the Ministry of Officials, rest assured, this Hai Rui will not be able to run away and be dismissed, if a person like him can mix in the officialdom, then this Zhengde Dynasty will really be different from the previous dynasty!"

After Chen Dian said this, he couldn't help laughing: "What future can this Hai Rui have when he reads a dead book!" ”

At this time, an official came to report: "My lord, Lord Yang from the Literature and Anthology Department of the Ministry of Officials is here!" Said it was specifically looking for you! ”

The officials of the Ministry of Officials came, naturally about promotion and deposition, and Chen Dian had to stand up and clean up his official uniform, but asked with confusion: "Lord Yang of the Wenxuan Division?" What about Ai Langzhong? What's going on? ”

"Maybe Ai Langzhong has been promoted, no matter what, the people from the Ministry of Officials have come to the Information Department, since they still said that they are specifically looking for you, maybe you are going to be promoted as an adult, and I am here to congratulate you first!"

As he spoke, the cronie bowed to Chen Dian and saluted.

Chen Dian thought about it and felt that what he said was right, he had always been an official and knew the rules, and he gave a lot of gifts to Xu Ge Lao and Ai Langzhong, and now no matter how he said it, he had to move his position.

So, this Chen Dian also came forward with excitement, ready to receive the order of thanks.

Yang Jisheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Literature, did not greet Chen Dian when he saw him, and was ready to start reciting the decree.

Chen Dian saw that Yang Jisheng was one of the Wenxuan Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, and he was not surprised in his heart, after all, he also knew that Yang Jisheng had impeached Ni Song, the imperial history of the Zuodu, so it could be said that he had obtained a lot of political resources, and there was no surprise that he was promoted to Wenxuan Shilang.

But Chen Dian was not convinced that this Yang Jisheng was only half a level older than himself, but when he saw that he didn't mean to look down on himself at all, he didn't even mean to say a word or two of greetings, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and secretly mocked:

"Hmph, a person who has risen to the position by impeaching the officials! Don't think that you are angry now that you are promoted, how can Ni Song's protégé be willing to let you go easily, you just wait, sooner or later, this official has been promoted to the cabinet, and you have been reduced to a prisoner, the gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late! ”

Yang Jisheng didn't know Chen Dian's mental activities, and he had already begun to read the will: "...... Sincerely, Chen Dian, a member of the Information Department of the General Administration of News and Copyright of Daming News, is dismissed from his post for the people and will never be used! ”

Yang Jisheng said the decree and said to Chen Dian: "Chen Dian, hand over the crown belt." ”

"This, this, how is this possible! No, it can't be! ”

Chen Dian's brain was blank at this time, and he never thought that he would be dismissed! And it's never used! For a moment, Chen Dian felt that everything he thought was right had collapsed!

Chen Dian couldn't help but yell hysterically and asked Yang Jisheng: "Why, why is this, what about Hai Rui, has Hai Rui been dismissed!" ”

Hai Rui's behavior of confronting his boss in person still makes Chen Dian remember it vividly, so even now, Chen Dian still cares about whether Hai Rui has been dismissed.

"This is an edict, there is no reason, when you yourself have broken the holy will, you yourself should know."

Yang Jisheng answered Chen Dian's first question.

However, what Yang Jisheng said is right, this is indeed what Emperor Zhu Houzhao meant, if you want to ask why you were dismissed, there is naturally no reason, Your Majesty wants to remove you, you have to be dismissed, as for the reason, naturally analyze it yourself.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao does have his own reasons for doing this, and the reason is nothing more than that Chen Dian's behavior has already told Zhu Houzhao that this civil official named Chen Dian is no longer an official who is loyal to the monarch, but an official who puts Shangguan first.

The same is true of Ai Li, the Wenxuan Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, who forgets who the master of the Ming Dynasty is, Zhu Houzhao will directly abandon it.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao, as the emperor, naturally did not need to explain the reasons to these officials.

Therefore, it is up to these officials to understand it themselves.

Chen Dian is obviously an official who has forgotten the idea of loyalty, he thinks he is smart, he thinks he has seen through the rules of officialdom, and he thinks that he should rise to the top, but he will not think that he forgot that the Ming Dynasty is still the emperor Zhu Houzhao has the final say.

"As for Hai Rui, he has now taken over your position, and he is still in charge of the "Huangming Daily", and he is also responsible for supervising the errand of the imperial history, so it is inconvenient to say more."

As he spoke, Yang Jisheng instructed the other officials: "Take away Chen Dian's things and make room for your newly appointed Haida." ”

The subordinates of the Information Department have begun to follow Yang Jisheng's orders to get busy, and only Chen Dian is still stunned, he didn't expect that when his little five-grade member Wailang would offend His Majesty the Emperor, and even be dismissed and never used? !

Chen Dian did not leave the capital immediately after being dismissed, in his opinion, he was dismissed by the emperor from the fifth rank of the foreign man, it was definitely not because the emperor was not used to himself, but because the high-ranking officials in the court were not used to him, and he was dismissed in front of His Majesty the emperor.

"This must be someone who doesn't want to see the teacher and is stumbling on the teacher, so he will slander and frame the students in front of His Majesty!"

Chen Dian came to Xu Jin and explained to Xu Jin about his dismissal.

Not long after, Ai Li also came to Xu Jin in despair, and replied to Xu Jin: "Ge Lao! Xia Guan didn't understand either, and just presented the results of the Beijing inspection of the Beijing officials to Wen Gong, but in a blink of an eye, Xia Guan was dismissed from the post of Wen Xuan Shilangzhong, and His Majesty personally ordered him to be dismissed. ”

"When Your Majesty has the leisure to pay attention to you, and personally issue an edict to dismiss you, this must be someone doing this deliberately, either Wen Yuan or Xia Yan, or Gao Zhong!"

Xu Jin also said with some annoyance, thinking that he was jointly excluded by Xia Yan and Yan Song in the cabinet, and his own henchmen were also jointly expelled by Xia Yan and Wen Yuan in front of His Majesty, which made him feel very frustrated!

……

Although the Qingliu civil officials represented by Xu Jin have suffered a blow and their power has been greatly reduced, the pragmatic officials of the reformists are proud, even if they are not tactful and upright people like Hai Rui, they can be promoted, and they are directly reused and hold the power of the empire!

Although he adheres to principles and ideals, it is not that he really does not understand the sophistication of this person, and does not know the rules of officialdom, so he does not seem to know nothing, but he still suddenly seems to be fine, he just disdains to do so, the so-called knowledge of the world but not the world.

Hai Jui has been waiting for the day when he will be dismissed.

So, he is already starting to take over his own work, sorting out his experience in the media industry such as compilation, printing technology, public opinion promotion and editorial when he managed the "Huang Ming Pao".

When Yang Jisheng came to Hai Rui with the order, Hai Rui was already mentally prepared to be dismissed, so he also behaved very calmly, seeing that Yang Jisheng was appointed as the secretary of Wenxuan, it was the same as if he had been promoted:

"Congratulations to Yang Fengxian on his promotion to the Anthology Division, Yang Fengxian can be in charge of the Anthology Division, which can be described as a blessing for the society, and it is enough to see that the rule of the officials of this dynasty is still clear."

Yang Jisheng also has a good impression of Hai Rui: "Director Hai congratulated Yang, and Yang will also have to congratulate Director Hai later." ”

Yang Jisheng unfolded the order as he spoke: "...... In the edict, Hairui was promoted to the position of the director of the news department, and he was still in charge of the "Huangming Daily", and was also in charge of supervising the imperial history. ”

Yang Jisheng couldn't help but smile and said: "After the Lord of the Sea, he will not only be in charge of public opinion but also have a constitution, which shows that His Majesty is very important!" ”

Hai Rui was a little stunned, he really didn't expect that he would be reused, after all, he did offend the entire civil official group, otherwise, Chen Dian would not have threatened himself so much, even his relatives and friends thought that he would be dismissed, even he himself thought so, and even his biggest fantasy was just to be demoted to a petty official.

"Great, Lord Hai has been reused, it can be seen that the saint is still wise!"

The officials of the "Huangming Daily" were happy because of this, as the practitioners of the Daming newspaper, they were willing to engage in this industry, and most of them had an upright heart, and now Zhu Houzhao's behavior of reusing Hai Rui has indirectly inspired them.

Hai Rui looked up at the blue sky, shed tears, although he was rigid on the outside, but his heart was still extremely fragile, and now he suddenly got the slightest favor from Emperor Zhu Houzhao, and he couldn't help but be touched to the softest place in his heart for a while, and knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the Royal West Garden.

"Is it worth it, is this servility or gratitude".

At this time, Zhu Houzhao, who was standing outside the courtyard and watching all this, saw this scene and couldn't help but say a few words for a while.

But because of this, Zhu Houzhao did not decide to summon this Hai Rui in advance, he wanted to observe it again, and observe how this Hai Rui would go in this era.

Xia Yan, Yan Song, Wen Yuan and others controlled the government, and upright and upright officials such as Yang Jisheng and Hai Rui were also reused, which made the Ming Zhengde Dynasty once again set off a pragmatic and fair wind.

Many officials still gave up empty talk and drilling, so that the Ming Dynasty Hall in Emperor Zhu Houzhao's later years did not decay and decay.

……

But the civil officials who represent the interests of the merchant class will naturally not be reconciled, Xu Jin is indeed unwilling, he hates these idealists from the bottom of his heart who put the country's interests first, such as Yang Jisheng, Hai Rui and others, he doesn't understand why these people don't have a little selfish desire, don't they like to be rich and rich?

Xu Jin even thinks that Yang Jisheng, Hai Rui and others are really pedantic people who have read dead books, after all, Xia Yan and others, who represent the interests of the big family, should protect the interests of the empire so much, who let them and the emperor occupy most of the interests of the country, and Yang Jisheng, Hai Rui and others are obviously from a poor family, and they are so desperate for the imperial court, it is not pedantic.

"Master, Fengguo General Zhu Biaocao established a Yiyun Heng Literary Society, I would like to ask you to have time to make a speech, this literary society is set up in imitation of the Zhongjun Society, and the children of bureaucratic families and clan nobles advocate tax reduction and equality of all living beings in it, and we have also established such a social program."

Xu Jin's eldest son, Xu Yuancheng, couldn't help but say to Xu Jin that night.

Xu Jin couldn't help but be startled when he heard this: "It's really bold!" How can you set up such a literary society! Aren't you afraid to let the West Factory know?! ”

"Father, this is not established by the son, it was established by the general Zhu Biaocao of Fengguo in accordance with the will of the second prince, in order to win the hearts of the second prince like the Zhongjun Society, even if he finds out about it, he still dares to report this matter to His Majesty, even if His Majesty knows, will it be possible that his son will be executed?"

Xu Yuancheng said.

Xu Jin nodded after hearing this, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "I don't participate in this matter, and you can't participate either!" But you reassure them, and I won't expose them either! ”

Gao Zhong, the governor of Xichang, did learn about this here, but when he learned that this literary society was instructed by the second prince, and thought that the civil officials spread the rumor that Yu Dayou was conspiring with him to usurp the throne, he couldn't help but feel that it was better to have more than less, so he said: "Continue to monitor first, and then report when things change." ”

Although Xu Jin and other Qingliu civil officials are unwilling, for Xia Yan and Yan Song and others, it is not possible to let people like Xu Jin continue to stand in the court.

"Xu Jin is in the court for a day, and those villains who only know selfish interests and don't know the country will not give up! So, it's not over yet! ”

Xia Yan couldn't help but say to Yan Song.

Yan Song nodded, he was very willing to help Xia Yan fight Xu Jin, and he was willing to see Xia Yan and Xu Jin incompatible, after all, as long as Xu Jin fell down, he could become a second assistant, not to mention that Yan Song was not young.

Therefore, in fact, he was even more urgent than Xia Yan to overthrow Xu Jin.

Therefore, after listening to Xia Yan's words, Yan Song couldn't help but suggest: "The following officials look at it, in fact, Xu Jin is not far from death now, since he spread rumors in an attempt to threaten the high father-in-law of the West Factory, the lower officials think that Your Majesty should also understand the thoughts of these people, and Your Majesty should also have the intention of executing Xu Jin, but now he has not found an excuse." ”

"You're right, Your Majesty has always been very insightful about the court situation, but this Xu Jin is too cunning, even if the eldest son of the emperor impeached him, he can actually get away with it!"

Xia Yan couldn't help but say.

"Therefore, this time, we should be cautious, from the point of view of the following officials, it is impossible for Yu Dayou to take the expeditionary force to establish a country overseas, because Yu Dayou came back from this expedition to Spain, as long as he presented the king of Spain to His Majesty, he would not be able to run for a title, and it would not be possible to go overseas to establish a feudal country in the name of the time."

Yan Song said and said: "Therefore, according to the lower officials, Yu Dayou will definitely come back, and when he returns in triumph, it will be the best time for us to get rid of Xu Jin!" ”
