Chapter 680 Let me see the new tricks of these cheap Confucianists
Hai Rui defused various offensives by Nanya Confucianists and made a statement in front of everyone. This time, he did not retreat even one step. He had to finish the unfinished business even if he died. According to Chen Mo's idea, a high-value target like Hai Rui should try to avoid appearing in public and even reduce unnecessary meetings to improve safety.
Someone came to the government office and wanted to recognize Hai Rui as his biological father. This kind of thing could be resolved by Tiqi. Moreover, Hai Rui’s plan did not involve him stepping in, but After much thought, Hai Ruisi appeared in front of the people and said these words.
Because if he didn’t show up, it wouldn’t be complete enough. It seemed that the Tiqi people had used means to resolve the crisis, while Hai Rui was hiding behind the Tiqi people like a weakling, not daring to Face these ups and downs head on.
Hai Rui has always been brave.
Hai Rui returned to Nanya again to rectify the official administration of Nanya. The starting point is still to fight against corruption and catch corruption. Some things are just like this. If you don't catch it, it won't work. Once you catch it, it will work.
Everyone has their own limitations, and Hai Rui is no exception. His way of dealing with problems is too direct. Even after twelve years of trouble, he still chooses to face it head-on.
The limitations of Nanya's humble Confucianism are also reflected here. They are used to an unchanging world. Facing the ever-changing Ming Dynasty, they seem to be at a loss. What they do seems to be out of place and very... madness.
They hope that the world will always be the world they are familiar with, refuse any changes, and refuse to look at problems from a development perspective.
The Dukes of the Ming Dynasty also have their own limitations. Even if they are as powerful as Zhang Juzheng himself, he has always been very pessimistic about his New Deal and the Wanli Reform. He does not think that the Wanli Reform has any great achievements. , like a person dancing with shackles, the heavy historical burden of the Ming Dynasty made the Wanli Reform difficult.
But the reality is: the seeds planted back then are already taking root, growing, and bearing fruit.
In the second year of Wanli, in order to ensure the profit of silk, the Ming Emperor banned the export of raw silk, the raw material of silk. The reason for the ban was even a bit ridiculous. The Yi people used it for weaving, but they could not weave well. Waste of raw silk, and then began to encourage the expansion of domestic silk factories and weaving bureaus, turning all raw silk into silk.
This was just a trivial matter during the Wanli Restoration, but the result left Zhang Juzheng speechless.
“I have to admit that I still underestimated the power of ten thousand people.” Zhang Juzheng, the initiator and practitioner of the New Deal, criticized himself. He was so conservative that he is now It's a bit like the New Dealers, which is funny, but it's also reality.
Yangzhou Prefecture Weaving Bureau is the largest weaving bureau in the entire Ming Dynasty. There are more than 10,000 weavers alone. The entire weaving bureau stretches for several miles, with eighteen workshops weaving silk fabrics day and night. Satin.
“I have also made the mistake of empiricism on this point.” Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty said sincerely while standing on the high tower of the Zhengya Bell and Drum Tower in Yangzhou, looking at the streets of Yangzhou Mansion.
The Zhengya Bell and Drum Tower in Yangzhou is much smaller than the capital, but it is high enough to see far.
As much as Xuzhou Mansion disappointed the emperor, Yangzhou Mansion made Emperor Ming so satisfied that Emperor Ming even deliberately stayed for one more day just to see more.
Fireworks fall in Yangzhou in March. Yangzhou in March is extremely beautiful, with catkins like smoke, flowers like brocade, misty rain, and the fragrance of flowers.
Yangzhou has demolished all the city walls. Even under the threat of Japanese invasion, a section of earth wall was built in Yangzhou during the Jiajing period. However, with the stability of the sea area during the Wanli period, this section of the earth wall was also demolished. It is clean and tidy, with roads, canals and the Yangtze River extending in all directions. Such transportation has created the prosperity of Yangzhou today.
In Yangzhou, an economic and trade outing is held every March at Slender West Lake. This is a custom that has existed since the Song Dynasty. It used to be a carnival for people and people, but now it has gradually turned into a department store expo, where people buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, and fresh food. Fish, fruits, bamboo, umbrellas, baskets, lacquerware, sugar shops, jade, shoes and socks, etc., there are more than 300 types of goods in the two-mile long street, a dazzling array.
What surprised the emperor the most was that with the continuous rise of handicraft workshops, the business of Renya Shop seemed to be getting harder and harder to do. Yangzhou Shouma was quietly withdrawing from the stage of history, perhaps because The rise of handicraft workshops has replaced the ecological niche of human tooth shops. Perhaps it is because Yangzhou is not prosperous enough and the fireworks world is always chasing money. Shanghai County is becoming the center of the new fireworks world.
Perhaps it was because the people could finally breathe a sigh of relief under the Wanli Reform, and there were far fewer people selling their sons and daughters.
Yangzhou thin horse, this abnormal economic product, is indeed dying out quickly.
The Tiqi released by the emperor found no traces of human traffickers. Unlike Xuzhou Prefecture, which is full of human traffickers, there are only a few cases in Yangzhou. For example, there are too many children in the family and they cannot be raised. The child was sold to relatives or fellow villagers who had no heirs. Tiqi could only turn a blind eye to such cases.
Yangzhou Prefecture is one of the thirteen prefectures of Nanya. Due to the influence of public opinion, the prefect of Yangzhou did not dare to be overly flattering. He just cleaned up the garbage inside and outside Yangzhou, including the ditches. The archways were all repainted, the roads were re-leveled, the brick joints in the government office were cleaned, and the children in the almshouse were given new clothes, that's all.
Not particularly submissive, there is still a gap between him and Beizhen Fusi who used a brush to clean the cracks in the floor tiles.
“The Wanli Reform actually proved one thing. The temples are so high that even if they believe that the people are the foundation of the country, they always underestimate the impact that the combined efforts of the people from all over the world will have on the world. Human power will definitely defeat the sky. It is impossible to fully understand that this is the limitation of the temple, and no matter what the position is, when the concept is swayed by arrogance, it is not far from making a mistake," Zhang Juzheng said sincerely.
Zhang Juzheng is a Confucian scholar. He examines himself three times every day. He is good at self-criticism. He is a high-ranking part of the temple. He believes that the significance of the southern tour is extremely important. The significance is to let the Ming Gong clearly know, What is the world?
Including all Ming dukes on this southern tour, including Zhang Juzheng, there is a common arrogance, that is, it is 'I' who changed the current situation of Ming Dynasty, not the people. This is a fallacy.
Only when you see the magnificent mountains and rivers can you understand the power of all peoples.
The canal north of Jining is an ornamental canal. There is indeed shipping. Due to freezing, traffic and other reasons, the canal north of Jining lacks capacity. However, starting from Xuzhou, Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu After waiting for others, I really saw what it means to be connected end to end, in an endless stream, and day and night.
Zhang Juzheng saw that it was natural to change this arrogance, because arrogance will lead to mistakes. Those who are high are only gods and Buddhas. Without the gods and Buddhas worshiped by all people, they are worthless.
Jiangshan Sheji, the main contradiction of all the people, has not yet shifted, but new changes are quietly taking place. The Ming Dynasty must see this change.
"Your Majesty, the car is ready." Feng Bao carefully reminded His Majesty of today's itinerary to pay homage to the Yangzhou Anti-Japanese Zhongyong Temple.
The reason why the Emperor of Ming Dynasty wanted to stay one more day was firstly because he was greedy for the grand scenery of Yangzhou, and secondly he wanted to pay homage to the Zhongyong Temple.
Jiajing Japanese invasion, Yangzhou experienced two large-scale Japanese invasions, the first was in the 33rd year of Jiajing, and the second was in the 36th year of Jiajing.
On the second day of April in the thirty-third year of Jiajing, the Japanese invaders invaded Nantong Prefecture, the gateway to Yangzhou.
Once Nantong Prefecture is captured by Japanese pirates, the entire Yangzhou Prefecture will become in danger, just like when Zhejiang Cengang was occupied by Japanese pirates, the entire Zhejiang was poisoned by Japanese pirates until Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others regained Cengang .
The general who defended the city in Nantong Prefecture, Xie Mingdao, captured the Japanese pirates’ internal agents throughout the city and personally went to the city to defend the city. The army and the people were united and vowed to live and die with the city, but there were many Japanese pirates besieging them. At that time, the Ming Dynasty came to the rescue from Xinghua The army was ambushed by Japanese pirates and the entire army was wiped out. The people of Nantong Prefecture were shocked.
On the third day of April, Tang Wei, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, heard the news. As a scholar and civil servant, instead of avoiding the Japanese pirates, he led Yangzhou soldiers and rushed to Nantong Prefecture to rescue them. They galloped through the starry night. When they arrived, it was April 13th. This day , was also the day when the Xinghua reinforcements were ambushed and the entire army was wiped out.
Tang Wei could not enter Nantong Prefecture, and the Japanese pirates besieged the city, so he had to lead his troops and stationed outside the city. Finally, on April 22, Tang Wei got in touch with the city's general Xie Daoming, and then began to cooperate inside and outside. , the Japanese pirates were in chaos, and Tang Wei led Yangzhou soldiers to enter the city.
The Japanese pirates took advantage of the opportunity when the Yangzhou soldiers entered the city and began to attack the city again. Tang Wei and Xie Daoming stood on the city wall for four hours, repelling the Japanese pirates. Regardless of exhaustion, they joined the other Ming troops who came for reinforcements. , drove the Japanese pirates into the sea.
In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing's reign, Japanese pirates invaded Jiangbei again. Hu Zongxian, Shi Maohua, Tang Wei, Xie Daoming and others successively won successive battles in Wantou, Yangziqiao, Wangjiazhuang, Huai'an Miaowan, and Clam Port Haikou, completely The Japanese pirates were repelled, and now they dare not invade Yangzhou again.
After the war, Hu Zongxian paid tribute to the soldiers who fought bravely and established the Zhongyong Temple to commemorate him. Hu Zongxian wrote the names of the 236 soldiers who died in the battle on the memorial, but in the end the court only approved it. Seventy-two people.
The Ming Emperor’s car arrived at the Zhongyong Temple. What surprised Zhu Yijun was that the Zhongyong Temple located outside the city was not a sparsely populated place. Zhu Yijun even saw several large houses that were not weaker than the dragon and phoenix. The house is a large house similar to the Baiwangshan in the capital. It is a luxury property that can only be purchased by a wealthy family!
"Why are there so many villas around Zhongyong Temple?" Zhu Yijun asked Zhao Zhijie, the prefect of Yangzhou who was accompanying him, curiously.
Zhao Zhijie said with a strange expression: "The land around Zhongyong Temple is more expensive than in the city, but the more expensive it is, the more people buy it. Because there is Zhongyong Temple, it makes me feel at ease."
"I see, it's just for peace of mind." Zhu Yijun understood.
The Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period was still relatively superstitious. The richer and more powerful people were, the more superstitious they would be. It was built next to the Zhongyong Temple, which even saved the town house. What else could be more powerful than the Zhongyong Temple? Deter evil spirits? Sleep well.
Yangzhou Zhongyong Temple is not very grand. It is just an ordinary main building plus two side rooms. It only covers an area of about one acre. But just from the slightly smooth traces of the stone bricks in front of the door, you know that this place is usually very popular. Very prosperous.
The Zhongyong Temple was relatively quiet. Zhu Yijun took the lit incense from Feng Bao and placed it on the incense burner.
Zhongyong Temple only has memorial tablets and no statues. There are some murals on both sides. The colors in some places are very bright. It is obviously specially added to prepare for inspection.
Zhu Yijun's visit to the Zhongyong Temple was a temporary idea and a temporary arrangement. After the emperor had this idea, the Tiqi immediately cleared the streets. Apparently they had made up for it before. Zhao Zhijie had predicted the emperor's itinerary, and there was no Let His Majesty see the mottled murals.
Yangzhou Prefecture has benefited greatly from the east wind that opened the sea. Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. It develops quickly and can solve many problems. Some difficult and previously unsolvable problems have been solved in the process of development. , it will be solved, such as Yangzhou Shou Ma, which is a constant problem for successive prefects and a trend that has been repeatedly suppressed.
Zhao Zhijie was grateful for the emperor's policy of opening up the sea, which was his political achievement for his promotion, so he liked to figure out the emperor's thoughts. For the Zhongyong Temple, he figured it out very accurately.
Zhu Yijun stood in the courtyard. There was a pavilion in the middle of the courtyard. There was an inscription inside, which recorded various deeds of Yangzhou's anti-Japanese war.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty looked left and right, and said with a smile: "This Hu Zongxian is not an honest man. Look, the court approved seventy-two people. The main hall of Zhongyong Temple does only have seventy-two people." There are two hundred and thirty-six people in the left and right halls, and there are not many of them."
"Take ten copper coins."
The court approved seventy-two. A loyal and brave person engraves an inscription on a stone, and Hu Zongxian cannot disobey it. However, none of the people he reported to him are missing. They are all in the Zhongyong Temple. They are just offering sacrifices in the left and right side halls. There are orders from above, and he must carry them out, and the people below must also be appeased. . The reason why Zhu Yijun wanted to take the copper coins was because there was a stone-carved turtle in the round pond in the middle of the yard. Throwing the coin into the turtle's mouth would bring good luck. This was just a kind of beautiful self-comfort, but there was a lot of accumulation in the pond. The copper coins prove that everyone wants to get a good fortune.
Zhu Yijun picked up ten copper coins and began to throw them into the pool one by one. As a sharp soldier who could hit all ten arrows with a tiger-powered bow, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was an eye-opener to the people who accompanied him, and he hit ten out of ten shots. , triggering bursts of applause and flattery.
"Try it, sir?" Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
Zhang Juzheng waved his hands repeatedly, shook his head and said, "Let Qi Shuai do it."
Qi Jiguang took the ten copper coins and began to throw them in. Every time he made a hit, he would cause a cheer. , the last copper coin drew a beautiful arc in the air, and landed right next to the turtle's mouth. It spun around and did not fall into the turtle's mouth, but fell into the pool.
"Oh, it's a pity, I almost made it." Qi Jiguang looked quite annoyed. He made nine out of ten shots and missed the last one.
"Yes, it's a pity." Zhu Yijun didn't know what to say. Most of his martial arts were compared to Qi Jiguang's. Qi Jiguang's last move was simply not thrown in on purpose. It happened to be so different. A little bit, making the emperor appear omnipotent.
When it’s time to cooperate with the performance, Qi Jiguang will not choose to turn a blind eye. In the Ming Dynasty, the best actor per capita is.
Zhu Yijun stood by the pool, looked at the rows of memorial tablets in the main hall, and showed a sunny smile. The current prosperity of Yangzhou is worthy of the fearless dedication of these warriors.
“Although Yangzhou is good, it’s time to go to the Hai Zongxian platform Nanya gave us.” Zhu Yijun was greedy for the grand scenery of Yangzhou, but he really couldn’t stay any longer.
Hai Rui was "fighting alone" in Nanya, and the Ming Emperor had to rush to support him.
Of course this is the emperor’s own opinion. In the eyes of the Nanya scholar-bureaucrats, is Hai Rui a human being? ! Behind Hai Rui were the emperor, the imperial court, and the retinue of the Imperial Guard on the southern tour; in Nanya, Hai Rui was assisted by the Navy Chief Marshal Chen Lin, 20,000 naval soldiers, Wei Guogong Xu Bangrui, and the governor Li Le. , Nanya Ti commander Luo Bingliang cooperated in the work;
Beside Hai Rui, there were two plain-clothed censors, Chen Mo, who was sentenced to a thousand households, and four hundred Tiqi guards and assistants.
This is what the emperor understood as fighting alone.
The emperor was afraid that Hai Rui would be bullied, but the cheap scholars in Nanya had something to say, who was bullying whom! If Hai Rui had this kind of power back then, what couldn't he have done? !
Zhu Yijun finally saw the expensive Fengzhou. The construction cost was as high as 150,000 silver, which made the Ming Emperor heartbroken. The moment he saw it, Zhu Yijun called it a waste!
Fengzhou was rebuilt from a fast sailing ship. Because it is a river ship, the bottom is relatively flat. It is not designed to be a sharp-bottomed ship for crossing the ocean. The mast was removed and replaced with a more luxurious building ship shape. In total It had four floors, and added a scull. The power was only human power, not even a propeller. This meant that this sealed boat could only travel on the river.
But such a large ship cannot be used for inland river transportation, so the 150,000 silver has only one purpose, and that is to use it for the emperor to cross the river. Even the power is chosen to be the most reliable manpower, rather than the proven success. propeller.
What makes Zhu Yijun even more distressed is that this ship is too extravagant. 150,000 silver was mainly spent on decoration. This ship is so extravagant that as long as it appears, everyone will know that the emperor is here. this.
This is the purpose of Songjiangfu Shipyard building this ship. It is to let everyone know that your Majesty is here. Otherwise, wouldn’t this ship be built in vain?
On the last day of March, the Ming Emperor boarded a ship bound for Nanjing. The fleet sailed to the Qinhuai River, then to Mochou Lake, and arrived at the Mochou Lakeside Palace and Nanhu Villa.
Zhu Yijun’s ship sailed across the Yangtze River. Everyone knew that the Ming Emperor was coming. The sailing speed of the giant ship was not very fast. On the third day, the Ming Emperor’s fleet arrived at the less loyal In Yingtian Mansion, there were no accidents during the entire process, such as fire or falling into the water. Zhu Yijun did not suffer from all the dangers that Dao Master had during his southern tour.
All the officials of the Ming Dynasty saw the nonsense of Lu King Zhu Yiliu in Beiya. Compared with Zhu Yiliu being in power, Zhu Yijun, an emperor who could be negotiated, was more reliable.
The emperor prohibited anyone from coming to the dock to pick him up, because he was actually not on the boat, but on a specially reinforced horse boat, just to prevent accidents from happening. If someone wanted to assassinate the emperor , tried their best to break into the magnificent Fengzhou, and even burned Fengzhou, but the emperor would be fine.
"It was extremely smooth, and it went beyond my expectations." Zhu Yijun said with emotion when he got off the horse boat and put his feet on the ground.
Wang Chonggu, who was a rebel, said nothing. He actually wanted to say: Who can play tricks on you, the Ming Emperor!
Fengzhou cannot be said to be impregnable, it can also be said to be unbreakable. The Ming Emperor actually used it as bait for the cost of 150,000 silver. Whoever assassinates it is the fish caught by His Majesty.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty successfully stayed at Nanhu Villa. As soon as he arrived, a small yellow door hurriedly rushed into the main hall with a blood book, knelt on the ground, held the blood book in his hand, and spoke quickly He said very quickly but clearly: "Your Majesty, all the officials of Nanya came to Nanhu Garden to cry. They said that Hai Rui indulged the traitors, was a bastard of the gentry, sought treatment too hastily, made changes too suddenly, and was not without mercy. "Brush."
"After hearing the blood letter from all the officials, please use it at your own discretion."
Zhu Yijun took the blood letter from Feng Bao and said, "It's rainy and humid here in the south of the Yangtze River, and I'm old." Yes, you must find an official residence in Xiangyang. Remember not to be near the water, and be careful about everything you eat and drink. ”
"I obey the order." Feng Bao hurriedly obeyed the order. In fact, there was no need for your Majesty to remind him. Feng Bao had already arranged everything. Everywhere he went, his Majesty would personally check on Zhang Juzheng's food and water. This disciple can be regarded as dedicated. .
"Let me see what tricks these cheap Confucians are up to!" Zhu Yijun picked up the blood book and read it for a long time. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his expression became more and more solemn. Zhang Hong said: "You find a little Huang sect and tell Hai Rui that whatever he wants to do, just do it! Be bold!"
"These are cheap Confucians who don't care about death!"
The blood book mentioned something. In the fourth year of Longqing, about three months after Hai Rui arrived at Yingtian Mansion, his wife and concubines died overnight. If it weren’t for this blood book, Zhu Yijun would not have known about the sacrifices that Hai Rui made that year. At what cost.
Hai Rui has a daughter, but his wife has not given birth to a son for Hai Rui. According to the Ming Dynasty law, if you are 40 years old and have no children, you can have a concubine, so Hai Rui took a concubine, and this wife had a concubine. The concubine died overnight, just when Hai Rui was dealing with Xu Jie and all the officials were begging for Xu Jie's petition.
Hai Rui came again this time, but the difference this time was that in order to support Hai Rui, His Majesty the Emperor came in person.
After arriving in Nanjing, Shi Hairui, the censor of Zuodu in the Ming Dynasty, found out the criminal facts of Chen Wuyin, the former prefect of Xuzhou, and then implemented several things with Li Le.
The first thing is to cut down on unnecessary expenses, which is to conduct a comprehensive inventory of all repair costs for cities, roads, bridges, and ditches since the first year of Wanli. There are two key directions, and they are subcontracted at each level. and subsequent repairs.
Layered subcontracting will inevitably breed corruption, and if a project is cut off due to corruption, it will inevitably undergo repeated repairs and patchwork. This is a wound that cannot be healed.
These two directions can be said to be a direct attack on the lives of these Nanya officials. There are many tripods in Nanya, and these tripods have oil and water. Hai Rui does not have to have the water to be clear, but the tripods are a great undertaking. , there must be no mistakes, it doesn’t matter if you take some, but if Dingjian Dacheng cannot be used, they will be held accountable.
In order to save money and money, just by arresting people, 143 officials at all levels were arrested, and there were 31 more who were on the way to arrest or arrest.
The second thing is to pursue the stolen money, and the blood book mainly focuses on this aspect.
Hai Rui actually worked with the Tax Inspection Institute, which is known for its ruthless officials, to pursue the stolen money. In addition to the money obtained through corruption and abuse of law, all the powerful people in the line must pay back taxes, and Nan Ya The commander-in-chief Luo Bingliang and Hai Rui worked closely together to hunt down a wave of dirty money. In just seven days, the amount owed exceeded 1.5 million silver, and the total scale of the recovery exceeded 3 million. Thousands of silver.
The third thing is to correct bad habits. There are clear regulations on the extravagance and waste of government offices at all levels, such as the amount of coal used by each office in winter, travel ceremonials, scale of food and water, outstanding debts, banquets, etc. There are clear details.
For example, banquets, there are eight no-nos and twelve no-nos to avoid. These eight no-nos are very clear: banquets with public funds, banquets with powerful people, banquets with workshop owners, banquets with interested parties, banquets with official duties, banquets with public funds Private guests, weddings, funerals, and chamber of commerce banquets will be punished to varying degrees depending on the severity of the situation.
Forget these eight inaccuracies. After all, Hai Rui is known for his integrity and incorruptibility. What makes the Nanya scholar-bureaucrats most uncomfortable is these twelve avoidances.
It seems that it is just a request for avoidance, and there is no hard and fast rule not to participate, but the penalty is unknown, and the power is unpredictable. The eight prohibitions specify the punishment, and the twelve avoidances do not have more detailed punishment provisions. This is As a result, everyone felt insecure and would not attend any banquet that they could afford not to attend.
Preventing mistakes that could lead to a dark career has become the only choice for everyone.
"Feng Bao, go and convey my will. If you still refuse to leave and still cry in front of me, let Luo Bingliang come and arrest you in the Fusi prison in Nanzhen. If there is not enough space, let Wang Ci assist in building it. Throw them in the bastard floor!" Zhu Yijun wrote the imperial edict.
Feng Bao took Xiaohuangmen to the gate of Nanhu Villa. In front of the gate, a group of people were kneeling. Feng Bao shook his fly whisk and said loudly: "Everyone, listen up. Purpose.”
"The Emperor of Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict:"
"Hai Rui, the imperial censor of Zuodu, came to Yingtian under the imperial edict. He has cut down unnecessary expenses and rectified old shortcomings, revitalized the administration of officials and corrected unhealthy habits. He has complied with the will of Heaven and the will of the people. If they are united, they will be harmonious, and if they are not united, they will be rebellious. I feel very relieved that they are serving the country and the people.” "Bitterness has been imposed on all the people."
"It is difficult to start things in the world, but it is easy to carry them to the end. What Hai Gangfeng did was a little too hasty in seeking treatment, and the changes were too sudden, and it was not without mercy. Shao Fu is too extreme and unkind, but his heart and actions are to punish the accumulated abuses and serve the people, and he will not go away."
"You don't need to make noise here, I have my own ministers and assistants. , Retreat, don’t regret being behind bars!”
“I admire this.”
The scholar-bureaucrats who created the blood letter never expected to get such a result. Tough answer.
The emperor not only highly affirmed Hai Rui's actions, but also reprimanded them and gave them a stern warning. If he continued to make noises, he would ask Hai Rui to go over old scores and see if there was anything wrong with them. Not so clean!
If you are not so clean and refuse to leave, you will have no choice but to regret it in prison.
