Literary and Historical Materials Chapter 753 Yuzhi Altar (Part 2)

.Silence was taught a lesson by Hai Rui, but the mouse pulled the wooden shovel, and the big head was behind. "The good show is still behind. Hai Gangfeng is not a person who talks a lot. Today, he talked about it with Chen Si, but he was even more purposeful. Seeing Chen Si blushing, he still added firewood to the fire: "What are our ministers in the Ming Dynasty doing*... I heard that the emperor wanted to set a sacrifice to heaven and give orders to the ministers to write a congratulations on the Qing Dynasty. Is there any such thing?"
"This is indeed happening." Silent nodded.
"Did both the Grand Secretary write it?" Hai Ruiyu said sarcastically: "The nine ministers of the Ministry and the Court have also written it? The Hanlin poets don't need to say it, but they are even scrambling to think about it, right?"
"Maybe," said silently and laughed dryly: "There is nothing to do, just handle the job."
"Only the adults think this way," Hai Rui smiled coldly and said: 99% of the officials in the court, but they all regard this Qingci as more important than moral articles. What is the use of that kind of thing for ghosts and gods? It's just a pile of words and speechless words. It's just because the emperor likes it, if he writes it well, he will be appreciated by the emperor, and will suddenly become rich and even enter the cabinet as a prime minister!" As he said, "The prime minister of Qingci, is the only word in the world. This original creation of my Jiajing Dynasty is so hateful to the officials!"
"It's just a way to advance." Chen Jing smiled and said, "I may not take that Qingci seriously in my heart." He felt that it was necessary to cool down the angry old man, otherwise he would cause big trouble.
"That's even more hateful!" Hai Rui said even more angrily: "I know this is wrong, but I don't want to advise you. I just know how to cater to you. No wonder people compared the ministers of the Ming Dynasty to a medicinal herb!"
"What medicine?" asked silently.
"Licorice." Hai Rui said lightly.
"How to say it?" Chen Si pretended to be confused because although Hai Rui kept excluding him, he heard every slap in his face, which was so slapped...
"The flattery is as good as the taste of licorice; the taste of unpleasant words is as good as the taste of coptis chinensis." Hai Rui said jokingly: "The emperor is also a human being. He likes licorice, not coptis chinensis, like flattery, not loyal words." The anger in his eyes said in a solid way: "But the bitter medicine is good for the disease, and the truth is good for the action! Today's saints are determined to cultivate the mystery and ignore the government, which leads to internal disasters and external aggression, and the people are unable to bear their lives. When you are near the emperor, you have the responsibility to assist the king and support the country. You should speak frankly and advise the king and ask for the people's destiny! How can you obey, be full of your hometown wishes, and keep praise for your praise, but seek personal glory?"—
He nodded silently. He was completely defeated by Hai Rui, and he was quite slaughtered. He was scolded enough tonight. However, although he had a fever on his face, he was applauding Hai Rui in his heart, because these words were so sharp that he wanted to say but dared not speak. Today, he was not only ashamed, but also as happy as a horse killing a chicken.
"Sir, I think Hai Rui is right?" Hai Rui asked.
"Brother Gangfeng's great words are really better than reading for ten years..." Nodded silently, "But these words...
"What do you mean?" Hai Rui looked at him and said.
"It's fine for our own brothers to say this." Chen Si said softly: "Don't take it out and say it."
Hai Rui was depressed when he heard this, and thought that my feelings were completely in vain. Why are you still unwilling to stand up? But he had a deep expectation for silence and said patiently: "Sir, the Ming Dynasty is now full of internal and external troubles, and it is almost out of the country. If we officials do not advise the emperor and work hard to govern, how can we be worthy of the people of the world and the ancestors?!"
"You're right." Chen Si nodded slowly and said, "But the emperor has been obsessed with the immortal path since he was young, and has been almost a hundred years old. He has been deeply rooted and has become blind. If he can really listen to the advice, he wouldn't be as good as today?" He sighed and said, "Alas! Now that things have come to this point, I'm afraid there will be no advice, which will make the emperor understand it."
"Your Majesty is right. The emperor is so sick that he is no longer a bitter word and clever advice can work." Hai Rui nodded in agreement, but he did not appoint him like silent, but said proudly: "It is true that you should use heavy rules in troubled times and use strong medicine in severe cases." The emperor's illness must be given strong medicine."
"What kind of powerful medicine?" Silence was as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and he felt that Hai Rui was about to play with fire.
"The emperor has been eating licorice for decades, and has been so coaxed by sweet words that he cannot distinguish right from wrong." Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "You can only let him eat coptis chinensis instead. Only when he suffers for a while can he repent and resurrect it!" As he said that, he stood up and bowed deeply to the silence and said: "Please use the matter of Yuzhitan tomorrow to express right from wrong to the emperor, and tell the current situation of the Ming Dynasty without reservation, so that the emperor knows that the country has reached the most dangerous time. If you continue to indulge in arts, ignore the government affairs, get close to villains, and alienate loyal ministers, then the period of the Ming Dynasty's demise will not be far away!"
"Your strong medicine... is too fierce." Chen Si's face turned pale and shook his head vigorously and said: Do you know that the disease comes like a mountain falling down, and the disease goes like a thread? If you have a long-term illness, your body is deficient and your energy is damaged. You must use neutralizing medicine to treat it slowly before you can stop..." As he said that, he rubbed his face hard and said slowly: "I can't be anxious, I can't be anxious..."
"How can you not be in a hurry?"
...Hai Rui said anxiously! l, you can wait, the people of the world can't wait...—
"Hastyness is not achieved, Brother Gangfeng." Silence turned his face to the side, and did not dare to look at Hai Rui's urgent eyes and said, "According to your method, the consequences are really unpredictable... Our life and death are trivial matters. Wane was taken by that villain to make trouble and harm loyal and kind. Wouldn't it hurt the relatives and the enemy beg?" As he said that, he begged almost: "Don't be impulsive, Brother Gangfeng."
"Where do I have the impulse?" Hai Rui calmed down suddenly, and his tone became gentler and said: "Do you still remember when I went to Huai'an to see me, did you both complain about the bad things in the world?"
He nodded silently and said, "At that time, you said that the disadvantages of the world are inequality, and the biggest inequality lies in the vassal kings."
"I wanted to write a letter at that time to say that the great injustice of the world." Hai Rui whispered: "But later I was taken first by Jingshi Lin, which coincided with my content. I didn't want to be said to be speculating with the storm, so I pressed it for the time being." He paused: "But the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it was. No matter how bad the vassal kings were, they had no power. The reason why they could continue to occupy the land of the people and refuse to pay taxes was because of the condolences and protections of the current saints." He sighed deeply: "When I think about it, the disadvantages of the world suddenly became clear. For example, if the alchemist chasing the country, if there was no emperor's doting, why should they wear python robes, wrap their jade belts, and show off their power?"
"Along with the national affairs, it is said that the world of the Ming Dynasty was ruined by the Yan family's father and son. Yan Song and his son were indeed guilty. But if the emperor had not lived in the forbidden garden and had not seen foreign ministers for twenty years and ignored the government affairs, how could my Ming Dynasty have been controlled by their father and son?" As he said that, he trembled and said with a deep face: "It is nonsense to say that the emperor was deceived. It is not twenty days, not twenty months, but twenty years. No matter how capable the Yan family's father and son are, they cannot deceive the emperor for twenty years."
"The only explanation is that the emperor pretends to be confused! No matter what the purpose is, it is irresponsible to the people and the ancestors and the country!" Hai Rui said sorrowly: "The government affairs were in chaos a few years ago, and everyone said that Yan Song was because of Yan Song. Now Yan Song is dead, why is the government still sluggish? The people are still suffering? Because the root problem is still there, as long as the emperor does not wake up, there will be no hope in the Ming Dynasty!!" He only heard him say word by word: "You don't dare to advise me, I'll do it! Although I am a small doctor, I'm a little doctor, but I'm sprinkled with blood from the neck, and I'll touch the emperor and set an example for you!"
Looking at Hai Rui silently, I suddenly remembered the little boy who revealed the emperor's new clothes in Andersen's fairy tale. In fact, what Hai Rui said, I don't know who the ministers in the court know? But why didn't anyone say it? What everyone, including himself, are afraid of? What are the supreme imperial power, the imperial power that can determine life and death with just one word, and the unrestrained imperial power!
Even though I came from later generations, after more than ten years of living in the Ming Dynasty, my heart was deeply imprinted with fear of imperial power. No matter how dissatisfied I was, when I saw the emperor, I couldn't help but speak softly against my will. How dare I touch the dragon's face and criticize the dragon scales?
Thinking about it, Chen Si's resistance to Hai Rui's words gradually disappeared... In fact, from the beginning, there was a reason why Chen Si was so out of control and so scared. Because although he didn't know much about the history of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, there were only a few people who knew. But there were Hai Rui among them, and he knew that the incident that made Hai Rui famous in history was to surrender to the emperor!
What's even more sad is that he didn't know what Hai Rui's final outcome was. He didn't say it in history books, and he didn't care about it, just treating it as an umbrella story. But now that things happen to him, the story becomes an accident. According to the silent understanding of the emperor, Hai Rui probably won't die well... This is also in line with the fate of heroes. Isn't it all for the sake of justice before they can live forever?
As Hai Rui's old superior, Chen Si didn't want to see him take that step, and he didn't want to be implicated by him.
So after seeing Hai Rui today, he would rather ignore his family than follow Hai Rui to his house. He actually hopes to talk to Hai Rui to be a mediocre way to achieve harmony and hope that this guy can control his mouth and not cause trouble to affect his relatives and friends.
But after Hai Rui taught him a lesson, he found that he had deviated from his original goal, and he became more and more excited by his words. He couldn't help but think of his lifelong ambitions, why does he feel more and more out of reach when he thinks about it now?
It's because of lack of courage...
Although I have done a lot, I know very well that if I don’t add a bridle to the unrestrained imperial power, then everything I do is just a castle on the sand, a mirror and a moon, and cannot escape the fate of the destruction of the people. But the fear in my heart makes me want to take that direction, but I always jump and pull back.
Now there is a chance to get yourself closer to that goal, but the price may be extremely heavy. Is it really worth doing it or not? These newborn questions hover in my mind, making the silence extremely entangled-
The meal was silent and absent-minded. The favorite dish cake didn't move at all. After using it, Ya said that there was something else, so she hurriedly returned home.
Mrs. Hai and his son took Lord Shen to the entrance of the alley, looked at the sedan chair and then shook his head and returned to his home. After closing the door, Mrs. Hai asked her son to go into the east wing with him, then stood up and sat next to his father's tablet, but let Hai Rui kneel in the hall.
Although Hai Rui listened to his mother very much, he was already in his forties and was a court official. He couldn't help but say, "Mom, is there anything wrong?"
"You have a hard wing," Mrs. Hai said with a crutch: "Don't you even listen to Wei Niang's words?"
"The child doesn't dare." Hai Rui quickly knelt on the ground and said, "The child did something wrong, please punish him."
"I'll ask you." Mrs. Hai held the crutch and leaned forward, "What are you talking about and Lord Shen just now?"
"I didn't say anything..." Hai Rui said embarrassedly: "Come chatting."
"Talking?" Mrs. Hai sneered coldly: "My son is really a generation of iron-mouthed people who can make today's proud son chat!
"Maybe adults have something to worry about," Hai Rui laughed and said, "Maybe it's not very comfortable*..."
"Fart!" Mrs. Hai interrupted him rudely, "Your voice is so loud, I'll listen clearly in the kitchen." She said, sneered, "Why, I'm brave enough to say, don't you dare to recognize it?"
"Since my mother knows it, why are you asking?" Hai Rui said with a embarrassed look: "Yes, I have expressed some opinions on the state affairs. Lord Shen is not an outsider and will not cause any trouble."
"Don't you tell the truth yet?" Mrs. Hai was completely angry, and she pointed at her son with a trembling hand and said, "Palm!"
Hai Rui immediately slapped himself. Seeing that his mother did not stop, he had to continue shooting left and right. He had a big temper. The more he beat, the more he beat, the harder heavier heavier heavier heavier. After a while, he even suffered from nose bleeding.
Seeing this, Mrs. Hai was heartbroken and cried in her arms while holding the Haifu Zhou tablet, saying, "Master, you see, this rebellious son is going to hurt our hearts to death. Why can't he make people worry-free?"
Seeing that his mother was heartbroken, Hai Rui quickly stopped, walked forward, hugged her legs, and said in tears: "Mom, what did you do wrong, which makes you so sad?"
"My three generations of Hai family have passed down, but now you are going to die. Are you worthy of your father?" Mrs. Hai cried and cried, "I am alone, and I am a widow and pissing to pull you up. I haven't enjoyed two days of blessings, but you want to pick me up and seek death. Are you worthy of me?"
Hai Rui was speechless and could only cry silently.
Mrs. Hai thought she had moved her son, so she wiped her tears and took a deep breath and said, "Son, listen to my mother, if you really can make Master Long repent, even if you join our family, it is worth hunger. But even the old minister of the country dare not interrupt this matter. You are a small fifth-rank official, and you are just a fucking sound. How can Master Long listen? Even if you are willing to listen, you cannot change it... Don't forget that the dog can't change it and eat it... Son.
Hearing his mother advised her like this, Hai Rui was very sad and she cried and said, "Mom, you have taught your child to study poetry and books hard since childhood and imitate the sages. Isn't it just that he wants his child to serve the country and the people, and to be carefree? Now that the government is changing, the people's livelihood is getting worse, and it is ridiculous that those officials, for the sake of titles, wealth and wealth, only know how to protect themselves, but no one dares to speak out! Just now, I said those words to Lord Shen, and I really hope that he can advise the king and do the best thing in the world." He sighed and said, "Who knew that he seemed different, but in fact he was indifferent, and he refused to agree. In this way, it seems that it is impossible to count on these people. The child can only stand up, otherwise the king will never repent, and the common people in the world will never be liberated."
After hearing his son's words, Mrs. Hai said with a slight expression: "But I didn't ask you to save your life?" As she said that, she reached out to caress her son's thin but firm face and said: "Son, you are the only root of our Hai family, your wife and you, and your unborn child's only support. If you have a few shortcomings, how can we live? Even if you die, you can't explain to your father in the spring..."
Hai Rui was speechless. He was able to be justified in front of Shen Mo, but he was only full of apology to his family.
Seeing that the persuasion played a role, Mr. Hai nodded and said, "I heard from Mr. Shun that everything is a fortune. Yao and Shun came from heaven. Life in the world is blessed by heaven: the king is unrighteous, and the suffering of the people is also a destiny of heaven, and it cannot be changed by ordinary people!" As he said, he sighed, "It is not for my mother to be greedy for life and death, but the sage said: If there is a way, he will be an official, and if there is no way, he will be hidden. My son is not a good job as an official, and now he has been a prefect, and has done things, and he will not let down his life's learning. Since the court is dark, it is better to leave... There are still a few acres of thin land in Qiongzhou's hometown. It is enough to support us people. We can still enjoy the joy of today's ethics. Isn't it better to suffer this torment?"
After hearing his mother's words, Hai Rui finally nodded silently and said: "Mom, I understand, I won't act rashly..."
Seeing that his words were not in vain, Mrs. Hai nodded with relief, gently touched her son's slightly swollen cheeks, and complained: "You child, you are not light or heavy, that is your own face..."
Hai Rui nodded and smiled, "The child knows that it's not someone else's fart..." Finally, he laughed at the old lady, and the mother and son laughed together. Everything that happened just now seemed to have disappeared with the laughter-
