Hai Rui was a famous figure in the Ming Dynasty, and this "Qingtian Grand Master" who was equally famous as Bao Zheng was widely circulated in ancient literary and artistic operas, and the folk praised this legendary figure even more.
We all know that the ancient people's expectations for the "qingtian" were urgent, but many people did not think that the emergence of this "qingtian" also needed some serendipitous coincidences.
Throughout the ages, there have been some officials who have high ambitions, do not covet glory and wealth, and want to do something for the people, but why are most of these officials unable to do things, by virtue of being nameless? Why is it that only a few people like Hai Rui Bao Zheng have left their names in history?
Today we're going to talk about it.
Hai Rui did not have a middle-class soldier, and he worked until he was forty years old to be a grassroots teacher in the county, and his real fame was during his tenure as Chun'an Zhi County.
At that time, there was a big gap between the rich and the poor in Chun'an County, "the rich have no place to stand, and the poor have no place to stand", and after Hai Rui arrived at office, he re-measured the land and robbed the rich to help the poor, although he offended some rich households, but won the support of the broad masses of the people.
Hai Rui's official voice was loud, he was not afraid of the powerful, dared to act impartially, and gradually gained promotion and entered the capital as an official.
In Beijing, Hai Rui is the head of the household department, and the grass-roots Beijing official of Zhengliupin is about the level of the department according to the current level.
However, it was this cadre at the department level who did an earth-shattering event, and the Jiajing Emperor in his later years was superstitious about the alchemists and ignored government affairs, and Hai Rui not only lamented the rampant corruption in the official field, the politics were muddy, and he was dissatisfied with the emperor's behavior, so he went to "Public Security" and directly put forward opinions to Jiajing.
"Public Security Neglect" is Hai Rui's representative work, he analyzed the Ming Empire's people poor and weak, officials are corrupt, they are full of private pockets, the national treasury is empty, and internal and external troubles, and he clearly points out that this is the result of the Jiajing Emperor himself in his later years who did not cultivate moral government, ignored government affairs, and indulged in fangshu pleasures.
You know, in ancient times, especially after the Ming and Qing dynasties, the monarch as the supreme authority could not be questioned, and anyone who dared to violate the imperial power ended mostly very miserable.
In the early years of the Ming Empire, the Hongwu Dynasty and the Yongle Dynasty had precedents for the massacre of ministers, specific to the Jiajing Emperor, who after he came to power, either beheaded his ministers who dared to resist him, or demoted officials to death, or were court staffs, and the lightest was also expulsion.
Hai Rui was so outspoken, in fact, he was ready to die. Harry bought the coffin before going to the book and arranged the aftermath.
Jiajing was furious when he saw "Public Security" and claimed to arrest and kill Hai Rui.
However, it is not known whether "Public Security Evacuation" awakened Jiajing's spirit in his early years, or whether Hai Rui's spirit touched Jiajing, Jiajing", "thunder and rain and small points", just ordered someone to take Hai Rui into custody, but never sent to deal with it.
Soon after, Jiajing died, and Hai Rui was released by the new emperor Longqing, reinstated as an official, and then promoted continuously. In the reforms that Zhang Juzheng was carrying out in the early years of the Wanli Calendar, Hai Rui charged forward and was the vanguard of the new law.
Hai Rui eventually made meritorious contributions to the country, was remembered by the people, and became a symbol of future generations.
We now see that Hai Rui can have later merits, and the Jiajing Emperor finally opened his eyes and left Hai Rui's life, which was a key step to complete Hai Rui.
Hai Rui became famous for this, and Jiajing left a "sharp" sharp knife for future generations, leaving a blue sky for the people.
Just as we now admire Guan Yu's incomparable loyalty and righteousness, after five levels and six will seek the Lord, there is also Cao Cao's fulfillment, we cannot ignore this factor.
In later generations, there were few officials like Hai Rui in the Qing Dynasty, because the Manchu Qing dynasty was seriously imprisoned and politically repressive, even if someone wanted to be Hai Rui, there was no emperor who could be Jiajing.
