As soon as Chen Hou arrived, the second door of the Imperial College slowly opened, and the chanting official sang: "Please enter the venue..."
Xu Wei, the Imperial College Priest, personally led the guests such as Wang Ji, Wei Liangbi, and took the lead in entering the venue and sat down on a row of purple cushions in the upper head.
Then the guests entered one after another and, under the guidance of the Tai students, sat in their respective seats.
After all these guests sat down, the venue was 70% full, leaving only five rows of seats facing the forum, with a total of 100 seats all empty. Everyone knows who this is left for...
At the moment of the year, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Zhanshi Mansion appeared at the door. He did not wear a big red official robe, but a casual dress, a black veil hat, a dark straight man with a solemn expression and walked into the venue. Behind him were the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, the Zhanshi Mansion, and the Hanlin Academy. These people were also not wearing official uniforms, with serious expressions, as if everyone owed them eight hundred yuan to hang out. They followed Li Chunfang and filled the empty cushions.
After the officials entered, the factory guards also came in, but these people did not walk in, but stayed at the door and on the sidelines, recording debates openly, and secretly, they must also have the intention of surveillance.
The atmosphere in the venue was quite relaxed, and some old friends who had been reunited for a long time were still whispering, but when these people came in, they suddenly became quiet. Everyone was tired of seeing the spy, so they stopped talking, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
At the second moment of Chen Shi, Xu Wei stood up, walked to the forum, cleared his throat, and said to the person who lifted his back: "You should know that there was something sensational and strange about me." Without looking at the reactions of everyone, he paused, and then said: "There is a doctor named Hai Rui, who barked the sun and insulted the king and father. It is tolerant... That, who is unbearable. The emperor was open-minded and read his memorials. As a result, the government and the people were excited and all wrote letters to refute such crazy remarks.
"Another pause, he said slowly: "Actually, according to his crime, it is necessary to cut into pieces, but the emperor is kind and even if he wants to punish him, he must convince him. Therefore, he decided to use our forum of Sangong Huai to give Hai Rui a chance to recognize his mistakes. Later, he will come to power, and tell him where the mistakes are, so as to correct people's hearts and calm down the rumors." A speech that should have been indignant was broken by him, and he felt nothing at all.
"I don't know how to speak, everyone will forgive me." Xu Wei smiled embarrassedly. He waved to the north row of duty rooms and said, "Bring it up."
The door of a side room opened and two strong figures walked out. They held their waist knives and looked ahead vigilantly.
Then Hai Rui, wearing shackles, appeared in front of everyone. Today, because it was a big occasion, the Tizheng Department did not wear the set of 'Golden Bu Yao' for him, only wearing ordinary hand-turning shackles; he also combed his hair, washed his face, cleaned his face, and put on a clean Gema robe.
However, in the eyes of all the scholars who were "poetry and literary" at the scene, although this person looked quite energetic, he looked like a rustic. He was neither as bold and crazy as they imagined, nor as heroic as they imagined. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
There were two other actors behind Hai Rui. Four people escorted him slowly into the venue. Hai Rui looked calm and looked squinting. When he walked to the forum, he heard Xu Wei say, "Come up." He stepped on the steps and walked up the forum. The chains were dragged to the ground, making a clattering sound... Obviously, the people from the Tishen Department were taught a lesson and put a pair of long enough shackles on him so that he would not sue for how to go up the steps.
After Hai Rui stood still, Xu Wei pointed at a cushion and said, "Kneel down here."
Hai Rui nodded, then knelt on it, looking at the literati and civil servants below the audience calmly.
Xu Wei looked at Li Chunfang and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Li, please." After that, he got off the stage and sat back to his seat without waiting for his answer.
Li Chunfang was the top scholar in the 26th year of Jiajing. She was extremely smart, knew how to be a minister, and was also very loyal. I wonder if it was because of this reason that the emperor had sent this chore to him. She had no choice but to speak: "Hai Rui, our colleagues have read your book several times and thought it was a big mistake, so their colleagues gathered here to discuss it well with you."
"I will listen to you." Hai Rui said lightly.
"Who will come first?" As the chief general, Li Chunfang could not lead by example.
"The official, Hu Qing'an, the secretary of the government, has something to ask Hai Rui." A predecessor said, "I look at your "Commentary on Public Security", and there is another name called "The First Commentary on the World". The sage said, "I have three virtues, namely kindness, frugality, and dare not be the first in the world. What kind of virtue can you call yourself the best in the world!" The beginning of the article lets Hai Rui recognize himself as the second, and overwhelm him in terms of momentum.
"You have never read my "Communication of Public Security"." Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "I said it very clearly in the memorial. The king is the master of all subjects and all things in the world. He is the most responsible and can be called the best person in the world. The purpose of the memorial is to be unpleasant. It is only a matter of calculating. It is of course called "Communication of the First Things in the World". I don't know why Lord Hu ate the word "thing".
A slight laughter came from the crowd, and Hu Qing'an said with a hint of discomfort: "Of course I have seen it several times. Every time I see it, it is shocking and I need to endure the discomfort. If it weren't for being in a gentle place today, I would definitely go up to you and have a beaten up! You must know that the original is the Three Bonds and Four Bonds! And the king is the leader of the Bonds and the ministers, and the righteousness of the king and the ministers is the most important thing. In fact, since the ethics and ecstasy, there has never been such a saying of being crazy about the ecclesiastical! Regardless of your content, just this ethics is extinct and disrespectful, it is time to suppress thunder and kill you!"
"If the wise ruler's fault is a great disrespect," Hai Ruipan said with a glance: "Does all officials meet the king's evil?"
"What have you done? You need to bark at the sun?" Hu Qing'an said in a deep voice.
"My memorial is already written very clearly." Hai Rui lowered his eyelids and said, "No need to say more."
"Many people have never read it." Hu Qing'an was angry by his attitude and shouted: "Since you dare to write, don't you dare to say it?"
"Why don't you dare?" Hai Rui sneered: "Your Majesty has not been to court for twenty years, abandoned political affairs, devoted himself to cultivating mystery, approached treacherous treacherous treacherous, and alienated wise ministers. This led to the Ming Dynasty's power and treacherous treacherous, and did not cultivate politics at home, making it difficult to defend against powerful enemies outside! The scholars and officials wanted to do their best to help the people of the world, but had no way to follow! As a result, the national affairs were tragic, like soup and boiling, disasters were continuous, exploitation was endless, wars were everywhere, rebellions were frequent, and the great rivers and mountains were everywhere! Can't you still call the word "回"!"
"There is a saying that summer insects cannot be said to be ice," Hu Qing'an said loudly: "You Hai Rui was born in a barbaric land, and it has only been half a year since you entered the capital. Tianyan has not been seen before, and Shengyuan has no chance to listen. How could you know that Your Majesty has abandoned political affairs?"
"I dare to ask what year it was last court meeting?" Hai Rui said lightly.
"Will you not be politicians not be politicians?" At this time, another official asked loudly: "The emperor has to forget to eat and sleep and review memorials, and asks the cabinet without distinguishing daytime. Isn't it considered diligent?" He paused and said: "You are ignorant and do not believe it. Do you know how many memorial documents you have to send every day in the Ming Dynasty? You have to pile up a room full of! If you get the morning court to discuss, I am afraid that a day will not be finished in a month. Besides, the morning court mobilization is long, and the procedures are lacking in efficiency... You don't understand these, and it will be useless to say it..." Therefore, if you want to refute Hai Rui, you have to rely on scholars. What these people are best at is debate, and their tricks and insults are perfect. If you are not careful, you will be "technical knocked down".
Hai Rui knew that no official from the three courts was present today, and all the officials came were ministers. It can be seen that they wanted to refute themselves and let everyone in the world know that Hai Rui was wrong! Seeing the opponent's sharp blade approaching his heart, he responded calmly and said: "If you don't go to court, you will not be able to get close to the ministers. You will only ask one or two people in the cabinet. If you have the truth, you will be enlightened, and if you believe in it, you will be dark. Not to mention that you are easily deceived by treacherous ministers, even a wise minister like Guan Zhong and Xiao He cannot be omniscient. Heaven has set up a king to govern all directions, and only one king can be strong
If there is a failure, the court officials were appointed to assist the cabinet in the cabinet to provide advice and discuss politics. The nine ministers were in charge of major affairs. The officials of all positions were in charge of affairs and corrected and cleared according to the principles of the subject. The emperor held the outline and ordered them to be punished and ordered. They worked hard to seek talent and selected them for appointment. For example, the sun, moon, stars and stars were freely circulated, and the four seasons and six qi were each in their order. People and things were full of thriving, and Dong was the Taihe! Now the king did not approach the hundreds of officials, so he set up the six ministries as false, and regarded the nine ministers as minor officials. The sun was high, the stars and moon were not shining, the time was inverted, and the universe was chaotic. How could the country and the people not suffer from it?”
His sonorous words stirred people's hearts, and many people applauded secretly, but some people were secretly shocked. The applauded only criticized the chaos because he was criticized for his current mistakes. However, the shocked one understood his true meaning...
But the official formation of literary dynasty over there could not be suppressed by him. An official suddenly stood up and said, "Bold Hai Rui is pregnant with the barbaric, arrogant and ignorant, ignorant and ridiculous! After reading a few scriptures, he dares to talk about the way of heaven! How can he know that the great way is invisible, high in the nine levels, and good and bad governance are at their own right?! It is important to know that the world has great fortune. Sometimes, early prime causes, and then it will cause thousands of miles of land. If the demons come to the world, they will deceive the foolish people. These are all destined disasters. After persisting, they will have another fortune! How can we blame the emperor for the difficulties of state affairs!"
To the north of Sangong Huai is a row of duty rooms, surrounded by the essays of the Execution Department... Hai Rui was taken out from here. In the main hall, an old man was sitting on a soft and covered carriage. At the end of March, the weather was already very warm in Beijing, but he was wearing a thick cotton shirt and a green robe covering it, looking sick and weak.
If Li Chunfang came in and saw it, he would definitely be shocked and then bowed three times and nine times, because the old man was Jiajing. He cared too much about this debate. Although he was seriously ill, he would come to the scene in person no matter what, and listen to how scholars in the world talked about themselves.
So early this morning, the Shengjia secretly left the palace and mixed in the escort of Hai Rui to the Imperial College. However, he did not see Hai Rui. First, he did not have the strength, and secondly, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the merger of him.
Although he arrived at the scene, the emperor could not sit still and listened. He listened very seriously and showed a deep thoughtful expression. In fact, what he was most concerned about was whether the civil officials could help him and argue Hai Rui. So seeing that they were working every step of the way, Jiajing was also very nervous. Seeing that Hai Rui was indeed not as calm as last time, the emperor was very relieved. When he heard the officials outside saying, "You can't blame all the problems on the emperor," he finally laughed and asked, "Who is the one who spoke?"
Masen quickly looked at it, and then whispered: "I don't know..."
"I turned around and figured it out..." Jiajing said helplessly, then ignored him and listened attentively.
At this time, the man saw the power and pursued the victory: "Besides, even when the court meeting was held, weren't there still a few people talking? Most of them could only listen with their ears?" They seized the logical error between Hai Rui's 'till not attending court for twenty years' and 'desolate government', and pursued it relentlessly: "The Holy Emperor was in charge of the rule, took the lead in the outline, made the rewards and punishments, and used severe rewards to urge all officials, so that everyone could understand their duties and perform their duties, so that the court could operate normally and achieve the goal of governing the world!"
At this point, many people think that the debate between the ci ministers is perfect, and Hai Rui is likely to refute it again.
But they all underestimated Hai Gangfeng's combat effectiveness. The stronger the enemy, the more powerful he was. Seeing that he had been forced into a corner, he sneered: "If you really have a clear reward and punishment, then the emperor should punish himself!"
"Bold!" "Rare!" The lyricists shouted loudly: "Crazy and perverse!" "Just relying on this sentence, you will be punished for death!"
For a moment, the slaughter of the attacks came everywhere, but did not suppress Hai Rui's voice. He said angrily: "Is there no harm in believing in fasting and worshipping? Shouldn't you be punished? Let's see how you turn black and white!"
All the ministers could not answer him. Who dares to say that there is no harm in believing in fasting and worship? Wouldn't you tell lies with your eyes open? Really a favoritism?
Seeing that he asked his subordinates so much that he had asked his heart out, Li Chunfang knew that it was time to take action, so he slowly said, "Respecting Taoism is just the emperor's personal hobby. Those who are ministers should not pursue them relentlessly. But you always focus on Your Majesty's private affairs. This is a loss of the way to be a minister." After a pause, he said, "I have read your memorial several times. It seems that you appreciate Emperor Wen of Han."
"For three generations, Emperor Wen of Han was able to be called a wise king.
” Hai Rui said.
"But Emperor Wen of Han also believed in Taoism, liked to be fasted and worshipped, and even used Huang-Lao's art to govern the country." Li Chunfang said: "According to your theory of learning from the sages, the emperor also believed in Taoism and advocated inaction. It should be correct in your will. Why do you favor the past and the present, praise Chinese literature, but slander the present?"
"Mr. Li said insincerely." Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "My memorial is clearly stated that Emperor Wen of Han abandoned Confucius and Mencius and respected Huang and Lao, and advocated inaction and ruled. Therefore, he had the shortcomings of being arrogant and retreating, and was lazy and abolishing government affairs. But he could still be called a wise king because he still had the beauty of being close to the people and being kind, kind, forgiving, respectful and frugal. He took the heart of the people as his heart and recuperated with the people, and was the first peaceful ruler in history." After a pause, he said coldly: "Now the emperor boasted of Wenjing everywhere, and did not attend court for twenty years, and called it inaction and rule by governing in the country. But are the two the same thing? Governing without doing anything is not to act, but not to disturb the people, nor to abuse the people, nor tolerate officials at all levels, and to allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment!"
"Although Emperor Wen also believed in Taoism, he just practiced meditation by himself, and did not dare to waste it. He was reluctant to even practice a palace. However, the emperor is now practicing Taoism, but spends money like soil, builds a large amount of construction, treats the national treasury as private property, and regards the world as his family business! He wins the hearts of all people with one person, and does not take care of the people in one fell swoop. He works from the court to the provincial government and prefectures and counties to regard the people as fish and record them all. Is this the inaction of my Ming Dynasty? Is this the peaceful rule of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Do you want to say that you can't compare to Emperor Wen of Han today?" A sinister voice sounded.
Hai Rui was in high spirits and replied without thinking: "It's not as good as Emperor Wen of Han!"
The scene suddenly became quiet. Although the argument was fierce, it was only entangled in the right or wrong of the emperor's behavior. Now Hai Rui directly denied Jiajing, which was a serious nature.
Hai Rui also knew that he had given someone a handle, so he vented his anger that had been holding in his heart for a long time and said loudly: "My lords who refute me, can't you see what the disease in the world is? Why don't you persuade the emperor to cheer up again, but instead try hard to pretend to be a frank man here. Do you want the emperor to leave a fame for the emperor for a long time?!"
The civic ministers all blushed and could only use loud shouts to cover up their guilt: "This person is crazy, don't bother with him": "It's really damn to dare to insult the emperor openly": "A beast without a monarch or father!" For a moment, curses spurted out from the gentle officials, and they were about to submerge Hai Rui.
Xu Wei frowned slightly, wanting to maintain order, but at this moment, a long roar suddenly sounded at the northeast corner: "Oh... because of the unkindness of the people, Hai Gangfeng, I'll help you!" He even calmed down everyone's voices.
Everyone looked in the sound and saw a man wearing a Taoist robe, a straw hat and a straw sandals floating onto the forum.
"Who is this person?" many people asked whispered to each other. But everyone in the Imperial College knew him and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing when you go up!"
