Qin Tai has a certain understanding of Hai Rui, and feels that Hai Rui should not be a timid person. So he didn't hide it, he told everything he knew, and told Hai Rui about his decision. As for what Qin Tai wanted Hai Rui to do, he also said it.

The more Hai Rui listened, the more unpleasant he became, and he could barely sit still. Of course, he didn't want to enter Beijing immediately and help Qin Tai introduce Emperor Longqing. Instead, Hai Rui found that Qin Tai was really a big trouble, and this matter was definitely not easy to deal with. Hai Rui had known about the imperial court's draft for Emperor Longqing. Originally, Hai Rui was also against the draft, but Zhang Juzheng's explanation made him understand. Zhang Juzheng said that Emperor Longqing was too lonely in his heart, and there were too few heirs. In case something happens to the crown prince, there will only be one heir to King Lu in the future. Although not paying attention to sexual affairs will cause Emperor Longqing to not live long, it is not absolute. Emperor Longqing's mood is cheerful, and his health will be better. The emperors were born with the disease of wealth and nobility, as long as they were in a good mood and let go of the amount of food, they could recover their physique. Once Emperor Longqing can eat and sleep, coupled with the care of the imperial doctors, it should not be a problem for Emperor Longqing to live longer. As a courtier, Hai Rui should be happy for Emperor Longqing, and as Emperor Longqing who is kind to him, Hai Rui should wish Emperor Longqing even more. Therefore, Zhang Juzheng persuaded Hai Rui not only not to interfere in this draft, but also to actively cooperate. Only when a representative of the clear stream like Hai Jui takes the lead, the officials of the imperial court will not disobey the yang and the yin.

Although Hai Rui did not think clearly about the consequences of this matter, he felt that Qin Tai went to Emperor Longqing for this matter and prevented the imperial court from selecting Emperor Longqing, which was too much. Even if there is no draft, these things will happen in the private sector. The draft is just an excuse, it's not the point of the matter. If you want to stop these things from happening, you don't have to stop the draft, but you have to deal with these people who take the opportunity to make a fortune. Hai Rui personally believes that Qin Tai should find the local yamen and let the government come forward to stop the atrocities of those people and restore peace to the people.

Hai Rui is a very traditional person, who thinks that the government is the heaven of the common people, the court is the heaven of the local yamen, and the king is the heaven of the court. That is to say, the emperor is the heaven of the common people, and the common people can have opinions about the imperial court, but they cannot oppose the imperial court and the emperor. The draft is the emperor's family affair and a major event of the imperial court, and the common people can understand and have opinions, but they cannot directly confront it. He wrote a recital to Emperor Zhu Houxi of Jiajing, just like a son advising his father, and did not directly confront the emperor. The relationship between the common people and the emperor is similar to the relationship between Hai Rui and Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. Hai Rui and Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi are the relationship between the father and son of the monarch and the minister, and the relationship between the common people and the emperor is the relationship between heaven and earth, and also the relationship between father and son. The earth holds up the heavens, but it needs to obey the heavens' arrangements. Although Hai Jui also paid attention to the lives of the common people, he still felt that the interests of the court and the king should be safeguarded and satisfied. Especially when Emperor Longqing is kind to Hai Jui and is a good emperor in Hai Jui's mind, Hai Jui will always make excuses for Emperor Longqing. Even if there is a mistake, it is the fault of the officials below, not the responsibility of Emperor Longqing, and it should not be blamed on Emperor Longqing. In this way, he lost the strength to dare to speak out for the common people and Emperor Zhu Houxi of Jiajing. In fact, when a person has faced life and death, even if he is calm, he will change. Hai Jui realized the preciousness of life, and realized that as long as things achieve results, the means can be varied, and even if the interests of a small number of people are sacrificed, it is worth it.

After listening to Qin Tai's explanation, Hai Rui slowly said his opinion on this matter. When Hai Rui said what he meant more tactfully, Qin Tai and his wife Zhan Xiaoxiao glanced at each other. Zhan Xiaoxiao's eyes were very calm, in fact, she had already seen that Hai Rui had some changes. The experience over the years has caused Hai Jui to become mature and sophisticated, but it has also made Hai Jui more burdened and hesitant. Such a person can no longer abandon everything for certain things, let alone have the same heart as Qin Tai. "Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng, you have cultivated a Hai Rui who dares to argue with the emperor into a capable official, this is your ability, but it is also a big failure for you. Since then, the imperial court has lost a person who tells the truth, and there is an assistant of you, Zhang Juzheng. "This is Zhan's judgment. Qin Tai also felt very disappointed, Hai Rui, who was originally very optimistic about him, not only became short-sighted, but also did not dare to face the truth of the matter. Hai Jui, like many officials, avoids and deliberately bypasses some questions and truths, is this officialdom? Do we have to sacrifice the interests of the common people and use the people's homes to be busy in exchange for the emperor's happiness and the promotion of officials? If this is the case, aren't the court and the emperor equal to the enemies of the common people? Is such an official still what Qin Tai wants to be? When you become such an official, can you really do things for the people? Qin Tai was a little hesitant, a little unwilling to be an official anymore. Even people like Hai Rui can be assimilated, and Qin Tai is really worried about whether he will be assimilated in the future. A Qin Tai who doesn't care about the safety of the people and doesn't pay attention to the truth of the matter, will it still be the original Qin Tai?

For the first time, Qin Tai felt that he was powerless. What if your sacrifice is worthless, and if you can't help the people? When the emperor does not regard the common people as his own people, and arbitrarily seizes the property and family members of the common people, is this emperor still the supreme in the eyes of the common people? When the imperial court only serves the emperor and officials, has no common people in its heart, and does not put the lives of the common people in its heart, does this kind of imperial court still have prestige? If the local yamen has become a hostile force that exploits the common people, has become the protective umbrella of the landlords, and forms an opposition to the common people, will this kind of yamen still have the value of existence? In order to survive, the common people had to overthrow the imperial court and replace him as the emperor. If those in power continue to do so, there will be no hope for the common people. Doing things for a court that the common people are disappointed in will not be completely satisfied with the common people, even if they do something. It is better to return to the mountains and forests and live a life away from right and wrong with your family. For the first time, Qin Tai felt as if he had done something wrong, and he shouldn't have sacrificed himself for this kind of court. The current emperor and the imperial court are no longer worthy of Qin Tai's actions. Zhang Juzheng has changed, Hai Rui has changed, he has become like Xu Jie, he only has power and status in his heart, he only wants to be rich and glorious, and he has forgotten the peace and happiness of the people.

"Jinghai Gong" is the nickname given to Qin Tai by the people in the coastal area of Fujian in those years. At the beginning, Qin Tai came to Fujian with more than ten positions and helped the locals build a new city. In order to protect this homeland, everyone did not hesitate to fight a defensive battle with the main force of the Japanese and eliminate the main force of the Japanese outside their homeland. Then Qin Tai pacified most of the pirates and pirates for everyone's sake. However, because of jealousy and suspicion of Qin Tai, the imperial court actually removed Qin Tai from all his posts and let him go to the northwest for business. Before leaving, the local people made a decision, the imperial court did not give Qin Tai a reward, and the common people gave Qin Tai a name. The common people knew that the Ming Dynasty had a rule of "no king with a different surname", and they didn't dare to give Qin Tai the title of a prince. A scholar said that as long as Qin Tai is here, the sea will be calm here, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, so it is better to call Qin Tai "Jinghaihou". Everyone thinks that Hou Ye is not big enough, for the common people, Qin Tai should be the material of a town and country, it is better to call Qin Tai "Jinghai Gong". Qin Tai has the nickname of "Jinghai Gong", and even some officials know Qin Tai's name. Hai Rui also handed over Qin Tai's nickname for the first time, which shows that Qin Tai's nickname is almost as loud as other reputations.

Now Qin Tai feels that he is sorry for this nickname, and he has lost the right to make decisions for everyone. If Qin Tai wanted to continue to do things for the people, he would have to abandon some principles, and even go along with most of the officials. In this way, will Qin Tai still be Qin Tai in the future? Qin Tai didn't want to become such a Qin Tai, and he didn't want to look down on himself in the future. If he is unwilling to join the same stream, not only will Qin Tai not be able to become an official, but even his friends will be lost one by one. If you can't be an official, you can't display your ambitions and make decisions for the people. But in this way, Qin Tai is still a person who is worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of himself and his family.

Qin Tai suddenly smiled, and Zhan Xiaoxiao and Hai Rui on the other side were startled. Hai Rui thought that Qin Tai understood what he meant, and no longer insisted on meeting Emperor Longqing. Zhan Xiaoxiao understood Qin Tai, after all, Qin Tai was Zhan Xiaoxiao's husband. Qin Tai seemed to have let go of the last trace of illusions about the court and the royal family, and seemed to fully understand some big truths. Although Zhan Xiaoxiao couldn't fully understand all her husband's thoughts, Zhan Xiaoxiao could guess that her husband Qin Tai already had a solution.

Qin Tai politely sent Hai Rui away, but did not say his true thoughts and decisions. Hai Rui has official business, and he can't and can't stay with Qin Tai to do things. Before leaving, Qin Tai used Hai Rui's four treasures to write a letter and asked Hai Rui to hand it over to Zhang Juzheng Zhang. Hai Rui is a gentleman, and he should forward Qin Tai's letter to Zhang Juzheng Zhang.
