China has a feudal imperial system of thousands of years, and there are emperors and ministers, so our country has also produced many very famous courtiers. Like He Yan of the Qing Dynasty, Ji Xiaolan, Yang Guozhong of the Tang Dynasty, Hai Rui of the Ming Dynasty, Meng Tian of the Qin Dynasty, Wei Qinghuo of the Han Dynasty and others. Among these courtiers, some were famous for their misfortunes to the country and the people, some were famous for their bravery and invincibility in defending their homeland, some were famous for their insatiable greed, and Hai Rui was famous for his incorruptibility. Hai Rui worked as an official all his life until the age of 72, but he was destitute and had no family.
Hai Rui was the first major Qing official of the Ming Dynasty, but his own academic qualifications were not high, but he was just a person, and it was very rare for such a academic background to have such an official rank in the Ming Dynasty for so many years. However, many people's evaluation of Hai Rui is that he is indeed the first Qing official in three hundred years, and his moral character is very noble but incompetent.
This is because Hai Rui was recalled by the emperor to be an official when he was 72 years old, and as soon as Hai Rui arrived in the local area, he began to rectify the government and wrote various letters to the emperor about the corruption of the officialdom.
Hai Rui's operation touched the interest groups within the imperial court, so he was impeached by many people. The emperor also handled this matter, acknowledging that Hai Rui was incorruptible but felt that he was too anxious to do something.
Many people's evaluation of Hai Rui also comes from this incident, feeling that Hai Rui did not balance the internal relationship outside of incorruptibility, resulting in the failure of reform, and he eventually adjusted externally. In fact, this evaluation is relatively one-sided, when Hai Rui came out as an official again, Yan Songgang was overthrown The entire official field was relatively chaotic, many people only paid attention to the position of the team and did not care about the official performance, Hai Rui was the one who did not stand in line.
Hai Rui's life as an official, especially a whip law, was not afraid of the interests of the powerful, and under the balance of all parties, it was finally carried out smoothly, how can it be said that he did not have the ability to balance the officialdom? After Hai Rui became the inspector of Zhejiang, the implementation of a whip law in Zhejiang was very smooth, and later saw the results of Zhejiang gradually implemented in China. Moreover, Hai Rui also carried out some other methods, such as the reform of field endowment, which really benefited the imperial court and benefited the people.
Every time Hai Rui became an official, he was effectively governed, and the people paid enough food and clothing and taxes. Such a Hai Rui was very dedicated to the imperial court and the people, if he was incompetent, how could he manage everything in an orderly manner?
In that dogmatic era, Harry's origin was the original intention of others to doubt his ability, but in that era, there was no merit and no ability. Moreover, Hai Rui's ability was definitely one of the best in the Ming Dynasty, and his ability not to rely on the magnates, let alone fear the magnates, was almost unmatched.
At that time, Yan Song had a very powerful subordinate who was very valued, but after Hai Rui met, he was not only not afraid but also properly defeated him.
Because of this incident, Hai Rui will soon be transferred to the center of power after being transferred to the second time, which shows that Hai Rui's ability is absolutely unquestionable. It's just that Hai Rui, who was born in that era, will always be questioned by some people. This is because at that time, if you wanted to become an official, you had to take the meritorious examination.
A person like Hai Rui, who is not a well-known person on the list, can do a very good job as an official, which is not only questionable but also defamatory to his colleagues in the officialdom.
