Hai Rui makes people feel screwed up in everything he does, but he is actually the same as Zhang Juzheng, who is a person who has learned from the heart. The great thing about Hai Rui is that he is not such a person who is born to screw up, but he is actually very clear about the world and the social situation. But his whole life is practicing one thing, and this thing is called "Li Cheng". For more than 500 years, the only one who has achieved "sincerity" is Hai Rui.
The ancients could not be measured by the current moral standards, and everyone lived under the social moral system of that time. Their standards of conduct were constrained by the social and moral standards of the time. Therefore, a person cannot be evaluated in isolation from the era in which he lives.
The reason why Harry can't afford meat. It was because the Ming Dynasty's anger against officials was so low that it was almost impossible to maintain their own lives. This is the ancestral system set by Zhu Yuanzhang. But as the times progressed, Ming officials actually had many other incomes as a means of relief compensation, such as fire.
Later, these incomes became the real main income of Daming officials, but they could not be stipulated by the system and became "unspoken rules". Grassroots officials have more fire consumption, and they must continue to compensate upwards, such as "ice respect" and "carbon respect".
However, in order to achieve "sincerity", Hai Rui will not earn ill-gotten wealth under the "unspoken rules". In fact, even if Hai Rui took the fire and consumed the silver and made his life relatively comfortable, he would not be blamed. But for a person who wants to be "sincere", it is impossible to do so.
However, under the system of "monogamy and polygamy", it is not to mention that "no filial piety has three, and no queen is greater". Hai Rui wants to continue the incense of the Hai family, and in the case that his wife cannot complete the continuation of the incense for the Hai family, he has taken a break to remarry his wife and take a concubine for having children, which is not contrary to "sincerity".
Therefore, everything Hai Rui has done in his life has been practiced under the standard of "Li Cheng". This is also the main reason why Hai Rui has been tough all his life. It is also the reason why in "Daming Dynasty 1566", Hai Rui finally dared to call Pan Jiajing.
He didn't have to sneak rules, so even Jiajing didn't clean up his pigtails at all. At that time, it was impossible to take such a thing as a concubine and morally kidnap Hai Rui.
Many people who live in the unspoken rules and make full use of the unspoken rules to get benefits are very hateful to Hai Rui, so a lot of things about Hai Rui to defile Hai Rui with things that people now seem incomprehensible to people, in fact, there is no meaning.
