Corruption not only harms the common people, but also harms the interests of the country. Sanjiang Pavilion Qin Tai once overheard inside information. Local levels originally had their own warehouses, and these warehouses were generally divided into two types, one was the civilian warehouse, that is, the warehouse with materials in reserve, and the basic role of these warehouses was to relieve the local people when they were in danger. There is also a war readiness warehouse, which belongs to the state, and local officials cannot use it without permission until there is a war. However, it is said that the civilian warehouses are either ten rooms and nine empty, or there are some useless things piled up that can no longer be used. The gold and silver have long been divided, and the good things have been taken away by those who are in charge of the treasury. There was not much in the war storehouse, and the high-quality rice in it was replaced with old rice and even unusable bran rice. The official silver became private silver, and the private silver became scattered silver taels, and finally even these scattered silver taels became "fake silver" with low purity. What about one warehouse? Qin Tai didn't have the right to check, let alone dare to check, for fear that he would find out a shocking answer after a check. Qin Tai is not afraid of death, let alone ruined reputation, but Qin Tai is worried that the people's will will be unstable, and from then on, there will be riots and even wars. Local warehouses are already so unbearable, will the warehouses of the army be left alone? What if there is a problem with the army's warehouses? High-quality and sophisticated weapons and equipment are re-sold, and the soldiers are not supplied, and if a war breaks out, how much combat power is left? Can the country still be defended? How many more abilities are left to play? Qin Tai didn't dare to think about it any further.

In fact, Qin Tai knows very well that the so-called three major evils do not occur overnight, this is the accumulation of bad habits in officialdom over the years. However, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu has a responsibility that cannot be shirked, and this responsibility must be borne by Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi didn't know this, he not only pretended not to know, but also connived at his subordinates to suppress the people. In the eyes of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, the common people are nothing, have no power and no power, and the lives of the common people are not as good as cattle and sheep, almost like chickens and ducks. He felt that as long as his subordinates listened to him and let him command, he could be an immortal permanent emperor, and some ordinary people would die, and the common people would make a little "chaos", which was not a big deal.

Qin Tai had heard of some ministers who were not afraid of death, and had reported some phenomena to Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi in a very tactful way. These folds were either withheld by the eunuchs of the celebrant without permission, or they did not pass the review of the cabinet, and even the celebrant did not see it. Even if it was really sent to Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi would ignore it. Over time, the celebrant reprimanded these ministers in the tone of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, saying that they were "full of food and nothing to do, and unreasonable trouble." net" caused none of the ministers to dare to say it again.

Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi was a bad emperor, in addition to being selfish, stingy, and holding grudges, his biggest shortcoming was that he was stubborn and self-serving, and he couldn't listen to different suggestions. Once Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi decides something, no one can oppose it. Anyone who raised objections would be the enemies of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. In the early years of Emperor Jiajing's accession to the throne, in order to win the title of empress dowager for his biological mother, he used to confront the ministers at that time. Although it was not aimed at everyone after saying good things at that time, almost all the ministers who participated in this matter, all who opposed Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, almost all got trumped-up charges afterwards. Because of this "great ceremony" incident, more than 30 ministers were demoted, and more than 40 ministers were convicted and imprisoned. More than a dozen ministers died in the edict of Jinyiwei, more than 20 officials were punished with their families, and seven ministers' families were guillotined together. Not only the courtiers are like this, but the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi is also like this to his own people. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu once had a queen, she was pregnant with Liujia, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu because he felt that the queen was too talkative, and said something he didn't like to hear, so he went up and kicked the queen with his foot. As a result, the queen had a miscarriage, and the mother and son passed away together. Anyone who has come into contact with Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu has commented on Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyi's words "stubborn", "moody", and "ruthless".

Qin Tai didn't know a secret, and when he decided to use this method to persuade Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, there was already a person who had done the same thing. He is the famous Hai Jui in history, and he has already made a performance that can almost be refined in the world. This notoriously upright official who is not afraid of death has done things that no one could have imagined. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when everyone respectfully invited Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi to move into a new house, Hai Rui made a unique twist. In the recital, Hai Rui mentioned the problems at that time, and unsubtly concealed the shortcomings and mistakes of Zhu Houxi, the Jiajing Emperor. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi was furious on the spot, ordered Hai Rui to be imprisoned, and asked the ministers to discuss this great rebellion. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi meant to convict this audacious Hai Rui and convict him of a felony, but the ministers did not dare or want to do so. Because this Hai Jui will definitely be written into the annals of history because of this incident, everyone's words and deeds will not only affect Hai Jui's life and death, but will also be written into the annals of history. Everyone knows that what Hai Rui said is right, if he obeys the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi's judgment that Hai Rui is wrong, in the future, the annals will say that they are "traitors", at least disgraceful horns. But if Hai Rui is maintained, the consequences will be even more serious, and it will directly lead to Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi targeting them. Therefore, the ministers used a passive way to sabotage the case, dragging it out. In addition, this matter involves the face of Emperor Zhu Houxi of Jiajing, so outsiders will not know. Qin Tai had just come back from outside, of course he didn't know about this major event that had secretly caused a sensation in the officialdom of the capital. But compared to Hai Rui, Qin Tai is bolder and more courageous. Hai Rui just acted as a courtier, and persuaded Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, that is, to remind Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi. Qin Tai directly brought out the ancestors of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, and prepared to teach this unclear future emperor a lesson as an elder. This kind of behavior is almost the same as "'forced' palace".

There have been many ways to persuade emperors throughout the ages, and as early as the early days of Qin Shi Huang's establishment of the empire, he set up a "imperial history" that was about the same level as the prime minister. At that time, three important positions were set up under the emperor, and the prime minister was in charge of daily affairs and people's livelihood issues. The lieutenant is responsible for the training and day-to-day management of the army. As a speech official, the imperial historian not only plays the role of supervising officials, but also has the mission of advising the emperor on wrong words and deeds. Since then, ministers have regarded it as their most important duty to persuade and guide the emperor's words and deeds. Once the emperor can persuade or stop the wrong words and deeds, this is the greatest honor of the courtiers. So there are many stories of not being afraid of death. Regarding the way of persuading the emperor, there are so-called "crying admonitions", "death admonitions", "military admonitions" and so on. The so-called "crying" refers to the ministers crying shamelessly to persuade the emperor, trying to "force" the emperor to take back his life by using the method of "one crying, two scolding, and three hangings" commonly used by the "women" and daughters in the family. Most of the people who used this method were the old ministers of the court, the emperor's teachers or elders, who took advantage of their old qualifications and the emperor was embarrassed to punish them, and dared to prevent or even change the emperor's decision. "Death advice" is to use one's own death to scare the emperor and "force" the emperor to revise or cancel a certain decision. This approach is a bit extreme, and the impact is not too good, but it has a certain effect, at least let the emperor see blood and play a role in scaring the emperor. Emperors are pampered, although they often decide a person's life and death, but there is rarely a chance to really see blood, if someone really dies in front of him, the effect is really effective. Generally speaking, ministers who dare to "admonish to death" must meet several conditions, the first is not afraid of death, the second is upright, the third is that there are no worries about the future, and the fourth is not owed money to others. It is said that in the Western Jin Dynasty, a minister was rescued because of his "death advice", and later some people said that he was looking for death because he couldn't repay other people's debts, resulting in him not only not being famous in history, but also having no face to be an official. "Military advice" refers to the use of the power in the hands of military generals who have the strength or control of the army to control or coerce the emperor to issue orders, revise or directly reject a certain decision. Ministers who use "military advice" must also have two prerequisites, the first is that they have a certain amount of power in their hands to deter the monarch, and the second is that they have no intention of changing the dynasty. Otherwise, the meaning of it will change greatly, and the perpetrator will be a thief. One of the more famous "military advices" in Chinese history is the Huo Guang incident of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang was the minister appointed by the first emperor, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he felt that Huo Guang was too much in charge, and after Huo Guang handed over the military power, he drove Huo Guang out of the imperial court. This faint monarch also tried to take possession of the empress of the first emperor, that is, the empress dowager. After Huo Guang learned about it, he gathered his old subordinates and surrounded the palace to step down than the new emperor. This emperor knew that the emperor had been in power for twenty-seven days, which was the shortest reigning emperor in Chinese history. In the Republic of China, the patriotic general Zhang Xueliang also practiced "military advice". In order to intimidate Chiang Kai-shek, who did not want to go to war with the Japanese, declared an all-out war against Japan, General Zhang Xueliang and General Yang Hucheng carried out a "military admonition" in Xi'an in 1936 and arrested Chiang Kai-shek, who had come to inspect the country. This is the famous "Xi'an Incident".

For Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, Hai Rui's persuasion was a "dead admonition". That is to say, Hai Rui knows that his twists and turns will lead to his own imprisonment and even death, but he still has to play the twists and turns. It is to use his own "sex" life to persuade Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi's awakening. What Qin Tai is going to do is to have a more direct "military advice" than Hai Rui's "death advice". Although Qin Tai did not have an army in his hands and did not have the full support of his ministers, Qin Tai used the ancestor of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi to scare Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, which was more deterrent than "forced" Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu with thousands of troops. If Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu was not threatened, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi's throne would be shaky. And as soon as this move comes out, no one can help Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi turn the tide. Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Lu Fang, Chen Hong, Huang Jin, Meng Chong, Ma Cheng, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi himself is not good. Everything must be listened to Qin Tai, at least at that moment. Whether it is in terms of ideas, practices, or even effects, Qin Tai's method is more direct, more effective, and simpler and safer than Hai Rui.
