These things are obvious to everyone, but no one wants to say it bluntly. Because doing so will not only disgrace the court and the emperor, but also hinder the interests of the vast majority of officials.

For most officials, they didn't care about the court and the emperor in their hearts. As long as their own interests are not threatened, they don't care who owns the country and who will be the emperor.

As long as their property is secured and their status is stable, it is not impossible for them to betray the current court and emperor.

These people are all prepared for their own crimes, not only unscrupulous corruption, but also secretly arranged a way out for their families.

Even if the incident happens, it is a big deal that he is imprisoned and killed, it will definitely not affect the development and growth of future generations.

As for the country, His Majesty, it is just empty talk, and they will not pay attention to it.

Of course, there are also some people who think they are loyal and patriotic, but they feel that their strength is not too strong, and they feel that it is not the time to realize their ambitions.

They need to strengthen their strength, and when their power is huge, they can have a chance to turn the situation around.

But when they had the chance, they had forgotten about it, and almost like everyone else, they only remembered power and money.

At the beginning, Yan Song was famous for fighting corrupt officials, but in the end he became the largest corrupt official in the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Jie is also this kind of person, who prided himself on being a clean official at the beginning, and became a representative of the Qingliu party against Yan Song's corrupt officials.

However, after he stepped down from Yan Song and became the actual controller of the cabinet, he no longer mentioned the matter of cracking down on corrupt officials, and even became the protector and leader of the new corrupt officials party.

The same is true of Qin Tai's old acquaintance Hu Zongxian, who was originally a Zhejiang-Jiangxi patrol and supervised the work style of officials in a province, which is equivalent to the director of the anti-corruption bureau of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in modern society.

The two governors of Zhejiang and Jiangsu were found to have corruption problems and stepped down, and Hu Zongxian also became the governor of Zhejiang and Jiangsu because of this.

But later, Hu Zongxian not only embezzled himself, but also wanted to be in the southeast

"The Grass King", and the court fought against each other. In the end, he was betrayed by his subordinates, and ended his career as a eunuch with millions of taels of silver.

Today's Zhang Juzheng is gradually following this old path, while following the crowd and trying to find a way to reverse the situation in a hundred years.

But I don't know that there are only two results if this continues, the first is that Zhang Juzheng was completely corrupted and became a member of the corrupt officials, and he can never look back.

The second possibility is that Zhang Juzheng was arched down by the corrupt officials early without sufficient strength, and it is difficult to lose the opportunity to turn over.

Qin Tai cleared up the analysis of this situation, but he couldn't tell Zhang Juzhengming, and even if he did, Zhang Juzheng wouldn't pay attention to it.

This is what Zhan Xiaoxiao often says

"The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear." After Hai Jui published the book, there were many different opinions on Hai Jui's opinion.

Some people say Hai Jui is

"Dogs take rats and meddle in their affairs." advocated that the imperial court uphold the meaning of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, and severely sentence Hai Rui and Hai Rui's family, giving everyone a serious warning; Some people also say that Hai Rui is an out-and-out fool and should not say things so directly.

Not only did it not have any effect, but he also lost the lives of himself and his family. These people advocated that the imperial court force Hai Rui to admit his mistake to Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu and take back what he had said.

Of course, Hai Jui's sin is inevitable, at least he can save the lives of Hai Jui's family; There are also some people who feel that Hai Jui is not wrong, at least the purpose is not wrong, but he just used the wrong method and timing.

They advocated that the imperial court should protect Hai Jui, and to keep Hai Jui was to save the face of the officials. The common people and relatives of the emperor and the country cannot be allowed to see the jokes of the officials, let alone the local officials to see the jokes of the officials of the imperial court; More people feel that Hai Jui's problem is no longer a personal behavior, but the fuse of all problems.

After this layer of window paper is pierced, some problems will be exposed, and some problems that everyone deliberately ignores will be in front of everyone, forcing everyone to deal with them.

Hai Jui is

The "culprit" should be dealt with immediately; Some old masters who are full of benevolence and morality have their own opinions.

They believe that whether the things reported by Hai Jui are true or false is a trivial matter, and the so-called big thing is Hai Jui's attitude.

Hai Rui dared to say this about the imperial court, the royal family, the inner court, and the emperor, which is a big crime in itself. They felt that Hai Jui was simply a man without a king and a father, and he was bold and reckless.

This kind of person is not only a shame for the officials, but also the scum of the scholars, who have forgotten what the scholars must strictly abide by

The "Three Platforms and Five Constants" have forgotten their duty as courtiers, and even more so have forgotten

The basic moral concept of "Heaven and Earth". They suggested that the imperial court first remove Hai Jui from all his positions and fame, and hand Hai Jui over to the scholars.

It is necessary not only to hold Hai Jui responsible, but also to arrest Hai Jui's parents and husband together and hold them accountable

"Raise but not teach, teach not well." responsibility. Tie Hai Rui and others to the Confucian Temple, and in front of everyone, use the ancient method to deal with the traitor Hai Rui.

The so-called

The "ancient law" is

"Burned", also called

"Lighting a lantern" means tying the prisoner to a wooden post, pouring lard on his body, and then burning him alive with fire.

This kind of punishment was too cruel and inhumane to be abolished by the imperial court long ago. Only some traitors who are full of evil, or heretics who have violated the teachings of the saints, will be allowed to do so.

In fact, everyone has made a mistake, a very obvious mistake. A key question that everyone overlooked was whether Hai Jui was really wrong to do this?

Could it be that Hai Jui lied? Or is Hai Jui exaggerating the truth? In fact, Hai Rui not only did not lie, but also did not exaggerate, and even did not say some things because he did not know.

Just like they acquiesced in corruption, it seems that they have collectively forgotten this key issue, and only know how to blame Hai Jui and blame Hai Jui.

But he forgot that Hai Rui just wanted to explain one thing to Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, a fact that everyone knew, and hoped that Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu would pay attention to it.

You must know that Hai Rui did not make his recitals public, nor did he deliberately publicize it, and only a few people saw his recitals, which was not considered Hai Rui's gift to Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi

"Good-looking". However, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi felt that he had been taught a lesson by Hai Rui, the cabinet felt that Hai Rui had exceeded his authority, and the eunuchs who were the celebrant felt that Hai Rui was nosy, so Hai Rui was locked up.

In fact, this was done from the beginning, and no one noticed the original meaning and purpose of this matter.

Qin Tai not only shocked the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, but also saved Hai Rui. Not only Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi and later Emperor Longqing, but even everyone who knew that Qin Tai broke into the palace felt that Hai Rui's approach was much better than Qin Tai's.

In contrast, Qin Tai's approach is more direct and intimidating. It is even more unadaptable, and it makes the emperor even more unable to step down.

In countless reminiscences after that, Emperor Longqing kept imagining that if he was Emperor Zhu Houxi of Jiajing at the time, how would he deal with Qin Tai's behavior.

The final result was the same, Emperor Longqing had no better way to deal with Qin Tai, and would even be repaired by Qin Tai.

As soon as he remembered that Qin Tai was carrying the spiritual throne and portrait of the first emperor, leading a large group of outsiders, and listening to Qin Tai's instructions in front of many eunuchs and palace maids, Emperor Longqing couldn't help but sweat profusely.

In contrast, Hai Rui's behavior of writing a letter in private and admonishing the emperor is simply too kind and cute.

If he had known that Qin Tai would come to such a hand, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, or even Emperor Longqing, would directly accept Hai Rui's performance.

Even if you can't implement it, you can get by on face. Since Qin Tai broke into the palace, the royal family has made a major decision to strictly prohibit anyone from using the spiritual position and portrait of the first emperor at will.

At the same time, the cabinet also asked the cabinet to play, demanding that the imperial history authority established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu Hongwuye, be revised, and the imperial history should not do anything on behalf of the emperor in any name.

lest this kind of thing happen again, and ensure the safety of future generations of emperors. It seems that the emperors and eunuchs who live in the palace are really afraid of Qin Tai, who is not fatal and bold as the imperial historian.

For them, Qin Tai and others are their nemesis, Hai Rui

"Stubborn donkey" is much easier to deal with in comparison. Therefore, if Qin Tai is driven out of the imperial court, it is necessary to leave people like Hai Rui in the imperial court.
