(Yang Jiaofeng on the 166th article of "Daming Dynasty 1566")
In the spring of the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, Hai Rui took a shot at the Jiajing Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty.
After several battles, the Jiajing Emperor sent all the members of the cabinet to interrogate Hai Rui, and as a result, Hai Rui caught Zhao Zhenji and did not let go, and he was forced to shave him off, and then he spoke:
"If Lord Zhao doesn't evade, he won't answer a word!"
In desperation, Xu Jie obeyed Gao Gong's advice, or asked the Jiajing Emperor for advice, so how should the Jiajing Emperor deal with Hai Rui next?
Yang Jiaofeng on the 166th issue of the Ming Dynasty: Daming Dynasty: Why did the Jiajing Emperor give Hai Rui an eight-character evaluation of "no father, no king, abandoning the country and abandoning the family"?
One
As we also analyzed earlier, Hai Rui put the Jiajing Emperor there, causing the emperor to be unable to get down with dignity. Then the Jiajing Emperor needed a step down, but the bell must also be tied to the bell, and this step must also be provided by Hai Rui.
After Zhao Zhenji was defeated, there was no one who was willing to block the arrow for Emperor Jiajing, so Emperor Jiajing decided to personally go out on horseback and have a good meeting with Hai Rui for a while.
The eunuch surnamed Shi came out of the horse first, and as soon as he came up, he told Hai Rui that the emperor had a will, and he could answer either standing or sitting, without kneeling:
"You are a Qing official, this is the emperor's original words!"
This sentence was a word in the words, because the Jiajing Emperor couldn't understand what Hai Rui really wanted to do, and the first reason he could think of was that Hai Rui wanted a name. It's easy to get a name, and the emperor can give it to you directly - you are a clean official!
The second sentence is:
"The emperor said, you want to do bigan, but he is not the king of Lu."
The emperor said this sentence is also very ghostly, you Hai Rui is a Qing official, there is no doubt about it, but Shuo is not a dark king, right?
Hai Rui seemed to understand the spirit of the heart, and replied, We are the Ming Dynasty, not the Shang Dynasty, where did the King of Bigan and Lu come from. This sentence made the eunuch surnamed Shi still very pleased, thinking that Hai Rui understood, so he told him that when it came to the later trial, do you know how to reply?
Harry returned to its original form:
"If you should go back, you will go back."
The eunuch surnamed Shi is a bit angry, how can you Hai Rui be so straight, there is no such a way to find death, ah, you can just find death yourself, and you have to implicate many people:
"I came today to save you!"
Two
This is the step that the Jiajing Emperor wanted, and this step was:
"As long as you admit your mistake in front of those people, the emperor will let you go, and he will not implicate others because of you."
The purpose of the Jiajing Emperor was to maintain his authority and kill people, and the best effect was not to admit his mistake to the emperor, but to make him confess his mistake to the courtiers in order to set an example. In other words, the possibility of anyone trying to learn from him was eliminated, so as to minimize the impact of the Shangzhi incident.
But simply let Hai Rui admit his mistake, how easy it is to talk about it, but the twisted melon is not sweet, but whether he is sweet or not, Jiajing Emperor's melon is twisted.
Hai Rui admitted that the emperor had steps down, but how did Hai Rui's steps go down?
In two aspects, if Hai Rui does not admit his mistake, then Lü Gonggong, Huang Gonggong, Qi Dazhu, Zhu Qi, Wang Yongji... And so on these people have to die:
"After a while, as long as you admit a mistake, all the people will be saved."
That is, the first benefit of admitting mistakes is to save everyone, so what about the second benefit of admitting mistakes?
"If you ask for a crime, the emperor will not give you a reprimand, and will make an exception to transfer you to the Guozi Prison..."
Not only that, but it will also allow Hai Rui to pass the imperial examination, and he can also achieve a good story of a monarch, after all, Hai Rui is still only a person, and this temptation is still quite large.
This set of punches from the Jiajing Emperor also showed his attitude towards Hai Rui:
Admitting that Hai Rui was a Qing official is equivalent to admitting that he could not be bribed by money, and this consultation was not for money. To become an official is nothing more than a few purposes, either for money and enriching one's own pockets, or for the sake of fame, guangzong yaozu. Hai Rui is a Qing official, naturally he will not be for money, then he is for the name, since it is for the name, then give you the name.
But unexpectedly, Harry still refused...
Three
Harry replied with a few words:
First of all, he said that he didn't want to implicate other people, and he had said before that he was not instructed by anyone, and if the emperor had to implicate those people, I couldn't help it.
Secondly, I Hai Rui is not for the name, but I hope that the emperor can follow the words of the saint, that is, Mencius said, "The people are important, the society is secondary, and the king is light."
In the end, Hai Rui is not afraid of death, and hopes that the emperor will think more about the people of the world, rather than my Personal Problems of Hai Rui.
This time the eunuch surnamed Shi was dumbfounded, this is a fool, the emperor even taught Hai Rui how to admit his mistakes, he just refused to admit his mistakes, there was no way, he could only ask the emperor to personally go out on the horse.
Many people can't understand this paragraph, the man in black talks to Hai Rui, has Hai Rui realized that this person is the emperor?
In fact, although Hai Rui was an idealist, he was not stupid, and a group of eunuchs came, surrounded by a man dressed in black, and his clothes could not be seen at the official title. The entire Ming Dynasty wore robes, and only the Jiajing Emperor wore cotton coats outside, although Hai Rui had never seen the emperor, but the official field had been mixed for a long time, and it would not be unclear about the emperor's dress preferences, after all, the little eunuchs in the palace were clear.
Then there are those who can enter and leave the prison at will, do not wear official clothes, designate it as a royal family, it is too late for King Yu to avoid suspicion at this time, where dare he follow the eunuch surnamed Shi to see Hai Rui one after the other?
What's more important is that the man in black who enters the prison is seated and carried in, and it should be known that the people who come here either walk in or lie down and are carried in, so that they can sit in blatantly and come in, the first one.
Of course, a sentence from the Jiajing Emperor also exposed his identity, and when Hai Rui refused to refute his words, he forced Hai Rui to speak, and Hai Rui did not say, he was anxious:
"Such a great learning, there is a will, you must refute it."
I would like to ask which official took the will to ask the question, and did not say the will first, but rushed to the head of the xing and directly threw out a will? Hai Rui was not stupid, and naturally understood that the people around him were the Jiajing Emperor, so his reply was all pretending to be stupid and deliberately saying it to the Jiajing Emperor.
Four
Hai Rui was still too fierce, and after some criticism, he forced the nosebleed of the Jiajing Emperor to squirt out, and left the Jiajing Emperor with a sentence:
"I send you eight words: 'No father, no king, abandon the country and abandon the family'!"
So is emperor Jiajing's words correct?
1, no father, corresponding to the previous Hai Rui mentioned, he lost his father at the age of four, was raised by his mother. The Jiajing Emperor said that he had no father, on the one hand, he said that he had no father, and on the other hand, he also implied that he did not receive an orthodox education and lacked the discipline of his father.
But saying this is actually a blow to Hai Rui, although he has no father, but Hai Mu's education of Hai Rui has not relaxed for a moment. In fact, there is a special foreshadowing in front of the plot, that is, when Haimu and Hai Rui discussed the "Filial Piety And The Book of Criticism", this was mentioned before, not mentioned.
2, no jun, the meaning of the Jiajing Emperor is very clear, Hai Rui's eyes do not have him as a monarch, other courtiers are trying to move money to solve the problem of residence for the father. As far as Hai Rui is disgusting, he has a copy of "Public Security", saying that "the people of the world are not straight to His Majesty for a long time", which is Wujun. Moreover, what "the people are important, the society is secondary, and the king is light", obviously puts the emperor at the end, and there is no monarch in his eyes.
But in fact, Hai Rui did not understand it this way, and the previous "Filial Piety and Commentary" mentioned that the father of the king was at fault, and as a courtier, he had to be consulted. And Hai Rui just did what a courtier should do, how did he become a kingless man in his eyes?
If it must be understood as "no king", then the king is for the subject, because "jun" is not like "jun", which has the seeming advice of Hai Rui, but instead became the "subject" in the eyes of the Jiajing Emperor, not like the "subject".
3. Abandonment of the country, the so-called abandonment of the country by the Jiajing Emperor, actually means that Hai Rui disregarded the general situation and delayed the major affairs of the country for his own selfish desires. For example, in Zhejiang, he fought with Qianhu, with Zheng Bichang and He Maocai, with Hu Zongxian, and with Zhao Zhenji. Hu Zongxian took into account the overall situation, did not betray the Yan Party, did not fall into the well, and retreated bravely in a rapid current. Zhao Zhenji successfully solved the Zhejiang corruption case without touching the national system, which is called Lao Cheng's conspiracy to the country.
Only you Hai Rui, you can't tolerate sand in your eyes, regardless of the overall situation, obviously resisting the Wu is the most important thing, but still going to provoke Hu Zongxian; obviously when it is not strict, you have to stir up the world in Zhejiang, and a confession is quite difficult for The Jiajing Emperor; Obviously you can be a beijing official, and as soon as you enter Beijing, you will run to Liubiju to disgust the emperor, which is not just abandoning the interests of the state, or abandoning the country.
However, the so-called "state" of the Jiajing Emperor is obviously equated with himself, in fact, the Jiajing Emperor is not the whole country, nor does it represent the entire Ming Dynasty. And Hai Rui pointed out the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the emperor could be the ruler of the Jiangshan Society, the people of Daming, and the people of the world, can he say that he abandoned the country?
4, abandoning home, these two words are best understood, The Jiajing Emperor proposed it for his family, so that his friends were not implicated, hoping that he could take the initiative to admit his mistake. But Harry's own coffin is ready, and he will not repent, which is completely a manifestation of disregard for the family, after all, there is an old mother in the family, and a wife, and the children in the wife's belly.
The book states:
According to the Guangdong Inspectorate. Hai Rui's mother and wife arrived in Leizhou on June 24. Prepare to cross the sea and return to your hometown in Qiongzhou, Hainan. But the wife of the sea is pregnant, and when she reaches the delivery period in Leizhou, it is difficult to give birth. Because Hai Rui was a criminal courtier, according to the regulations of the imperial court, he could not send her langzhong. The sea wife was in the station for three days, the fetus could not be born, and the mother and child could not be saved. ”
Of course, this can also be regarded as the divine prophecy of the Jiajing Emperor, and he was right, and Hai Rui did end up abandoning his family in the end.
However, regarding the concept of "home", the understanding of the two is also different, giving up the small family to take care of everyone, the reason why Hai Rui went to court at this time was completely affected by the disaster relief in Daxing County. There are still so many small families in the world waiting to be saved, and it is his duty to do so, of course, this is also his own assumption.
After all, Hai Rui's on this path has two purposes:
"I went to this path for hairui only for two purposes: one is my Daming's Jiangshan Sheji, and the other is my Daming's, the world's cangsheng."
One is for the continuation of the Ming Dynasty's national order, and the other is for the well-being of the people of the Ming Dynasty!
Therefore, the Jiajing Emperor said that Hai Rui was "fatherless and kingless, abandoning the country and abandoning the family", which is both correct and incorrect, and the angle of view is different, and the conclusions reached are also different!
My name is Yang Jiaofeng, look at "Daming Dynasty 1566" from another perspective, you will find different fun, like to pay attention to it!
