Preface Introduction
In 1587 AD, 74-year-old Hai Rui died in Nanjing. Hearing the news of Master Hai's death, the people of Nanjing took the initiative to suspend work and suspend business, and spontaneously put on Ma Daixiao to see Master Hai off. The people who kneeled down to pay homage were endless, stretching for hundreds of miles, which shows how high the prestige of Master Hai is among the people.
However, Hai Rui was "notorious" in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. He was smelly and hard and no one dared to provoke him. His colleagues treated him like a plague god and tried their best to exclude him. Even the emperor did not dare to reuse him. .
Hai Rui went through the four dynasties of Zhengde, Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli. All the emperors valued him, but did not dare to reuse him because he was afraid that he would poke himself.
How can Hai Rui, who is so annoying, die? This has to be said from Hai Rui's behavior.
Hai Rui’s Life Chronicle
Hai Rui’s cleanliness is not just a way of doing things, but like this throughout his life.
Because Hai Rui is too poor, his meal of meat is all explosive news. For example, once his old mother’s birthday, Hai Rui bought two catties of meat. The news spread immediately. The next day Governor Hu Zongxian knew about it and asked his subordinates at the meeting: "I heard that Hai Rui bought yesterday. I lost two catties of meat, I don’t know if it’s true”?
has three years since ancient times to clear the prefect’s one hundred thousand snowflake silver proverb. Hai Rui is a county magistrate anyway. Z1z can make a sensation in the whole province after eating meat. It is no less than the hot search news today, which shows that Hai Rui is indeed poor, and Hai Rui is not only honest, but also strict with others.
When he was the county magistrate, his eyes were fixed on his subordinates, and the officials in the county were not allowed to have a little gray income; he also sent a letter to the emperor, suggesting that the method of punishing corrupt officials during the Ming Taizu period be restored: peeling the skin. The officials in
were so frightened that no one wanted to be turned into a specimen to stand in front of the office, but if there was no gray income, this day would not be able to go on, so many of asked to resign.
Not only is Hai Rui’s subordinates dissatisfied with him, even his colleagues are not in the same group with him, and his life is not easy with everyone, so the colleagues want to squeeze away, but Hai Rui is a clean official, and there is nothing else. What should I do? Let him be promoted.
So the officials from Zhejiang played together and praised Hai Rui as a flower. It would be a waste of a good official like this to put Zhejiang in, and he should be promoted to Beijing.
wanted to say that this was also a helpless move. Although the court finally promoted Hai Rui, he was promoted from the county magistrate to a general sentence, which made Zhejiang officials dumbfounded.
And Hai Rui didn't even give the emperor's face.
In the forty-five years of Jiajing, Hai Rui prepared the coffin, dismissed his family, and then sent a piece of "Policy Shuttle" to Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houhuang. In this memorial, he denounced the Jiajing Emperor for indulging in Fangsheng warlocks, ignoring the government and other abuses, especially the sentence " the world is not straight, your majesty " is the most cruel.
This is tantamount to saying that everyone in the world looks down on you (naturally including Hai Rui himself), which is pretty good, tantamount to pointing at the emperor's nose and scolding you.
This made the Jiajing emperor furious, and immediately ordered: "Catch this adversary, don't let him run."
This is an unprecedented earthquake in the officialdom. Z1z has always had admonishers who are not afraid of death, but there is really no such thing as Hai Rui who scolds the emperor in person as a fool.
In the end, Hai Rui was sent to prison "as he wished", but Jiajing finally commented that "Hai Rui can be compared with Bigan, but I don't want to be the King of Shang Zhou". After Jiajing's death, the world was amnesty, and Hai Rui walked out of the prison unscathed.
From the above, it can be seen that Hai Rui is a "shocking stick" in officialdom, and everyone avoids it for fear.
The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty had a serious mutual overwhelming phenomenon. It might be that the people who have a serious relationship will fall in love, and the best ending should be to go home early for retirement. Since Hai Rui is so "unpopular", how can he die well, and finally die of illness What?
Hai Rui is lonely and hard to die.
The most serious problem in the middle and late Ming dynasties was party disputes. What officials feared most was falling into the vortex of party disputes. Such asIf you stand on the wrong team, or the party you stand on loses, that will be the end of the game.
And Hai Rui, who is hated by everyone, naturally does not belong to any faction. No matter which faction he wants to stand with, no one dares to ask him. Therefore, Hai Rui is alone.
The official salary of Ming dynasty is the lowest in all dynasties, so most officials will have gray income. If they don't greedy ink, then the life will not be able to go on, they can only be like Hai Rui. For example, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of Wanli, had a gray income even for a generation of names like him. This shows that the gray income of Ming dynasty officials is commonplace.
And what Hai Rui likes most is to report other people’s corruption of ink, but those who are reported, as long as the problem is not particularly serious, they can still resume their posts in the previous and next activities. Everyone’s acquiescence to the corruption of ink is naturally not. Will be severely punished. Those who were reported by him could only admit that they were unlucky, so stay away from Hai Rui in the future.
Even the emperor dared to provoke him, and he naturally made others daunted.
Although Hai Rui is not popular in the officialdom, he has high prestige in the hearts of the people. It is equivalent to a benchmark for a good official and a good official known in the world. To be right, it shows to the world that he is a corrupt official.
So no one dared to provoke Hai Rui, and fighting him meant facing the people of the world, who would find it unhappy for himself.
More importantly, it was a well-known thing that Hai Rui wrote to Jiajing. He even dared to offend the emperor, and he could finally get out of the prison intact as before. This would have to put the minds of ordinary people on the ground.
Although Jiajing was very annoyed with Hai Rui, she didn't want to kill him . Hai Rui maintained his style in officialdom after he was released from prison. From this point of view, Hai Rui is a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth.
Besides, the emperor couldn't kill him, so he rushed to provoke Hai Rui. If he didn't die, the trouble would be serious in the future, so no one dared to provoke him.
Hai Rui is the image of the official. No matter which dynasty, Hai Rui needs to establish several positive images. However, when Jiajing did not kill Hai Rui, he was indirectly portrayed as a positive image. If the court of Ming Dynasty The above are all flattering corrupt officials who only seek profit, which also damages Daming's image.
So when the colleagues wanted to exclude him, they could only put Hai Rui as good as possible, and held him high, which was also the need of the court.
Although Hai Rui has a very poor relationship with his colleagues, he is indeed a "fortune star" for the common people. For thousands of years, Hai Rui has been a hero in the hearts of the people.
