Wanli Xinming

Chapter 110 Undercurrent
Hai Rui, courtesy name Ruxian, with the name Gangfeng, was a well-known honest official and an expert on the law of the Ming Dynasty.Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng discussed his recovery.

Zhang Juzheng believes that Hai Rui has gained too high a moral status because of his extremely honest style, but in terms of his actual ability, his name is not worthy of the name.

He persuaded Zhu Yijun to say: "Hai Rui is famous for his integrity. However, his actions stick to the law of his ancestors. The story of Longqing three years, and the overall situation of Jiangnan is messed up."

Just as Hai Rui's clear name is the best in the world, so is his extreme name.Hai Rui acted in accordance with the teachings of the sages and the Law of the Great Ming Dynasty. He believed that all problems in the late Ming Dynasty should be solved by the "ancestral system", that is, the rules set by Hongwu - this is of course impossible.

Therefore, although Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, two pragmatic cabinet ministers, were reluctant to use him, although they had been recommended over the years.

To some extent, Hai Rui was also a martyr.Just as he encouraged himself in two words: "Take your body as an obstacle, and you will fall into the raging tide; with your body as a standard, you can open the door to retro."

He wanted to use the appearance he made to require everyone in Daming to be self-defense, honest, and secure their positions as he did.Although much better than those who ask others to do it and do nothing themselves, it is too idealistic.

Zhu Yijun didn't have to use Hai Rui at first, but because Wang Yixiu's memorial made it clear that the main resistance to returning to the farmland mainly came from various lawsuits. .Therefore, in his memorial, he originally asked the court to send a minister who was good at litigation to Songjiang.

The judicial theorem named after Hai Rui, "Hai Rui's Theorem", is a subject in the history of Chinese legal system.The so-called Hai Rui's theorem is actually a summary of Hai Rui's judicial experience in deciding cases and suspending litigation.It is roughly divided into three theorems: [-]. Only fair justice can be really efficient—the fairness theorem; [-]: The principle of differential protection—the difference theorem;

Zhu Yijun believes that the current situation in Songjiang, if the case is slowly decided according to the right and wrong, will not be clear for a while.Only a minister who is good at relieving lawsuits and whose reputation is known to the world must be tried according to a certain principle of quick case determination, in order to quickly solve the problem.Otherwise, if you miss the spring ploughing, you will be laughed at by the Jiangnan gentry, and it will also affect the remediation effect of the Xu family's retreat.

He explained this to Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng also felt that what the emperor said made sense: no matter how Hai Rui judged the disputes over property and land, no one else would suspect that he was taking bribes to favor one side, which is indeed conducive to quick interest rates. lawsuit.

In addition, it was the second time that the emperor had revealed to him that he wanted to use Hai Rui.

Since Hai Rui had returned to his hometown in Hainan at this time, Zhang Juzheng made two preparations in order not to delay things. One was to send out the will immediately; the other was to transfer a few judges from Dali Temple who were good at fighting property disputes and set up Songjiang. The working group of Judge Tsui Tian also set off later.At the same time, Zhang Juzheng, who was well aware of Hai Rui's influence, also drafted an Anmin notice.

The decree was issued, and the first people who heard the wind were the gangsters on the ground in Songjiang.In the third year of Longqing, they used the second theorem of Hai Rui's theorem and made a lot of money from Hai Rui. Now I heard that Lao Qingtian is coming again. Let's say three shots.

Next, it was Jin Shen who was full of Songjiang who heard the wind and was about to run away.In the third year of Longqing, when Hai Rui was dismissed from office, the red gate was changed from black, but now it is time to change it back.According to the "Constitution of Governors" stipulated by Mr. Hai when the governor Yingtian, the luxury goods at home can not be used at all - otherwise, while he is not here, let's take care of the children's happy events as soon as possible.

At a time when people were panicking, the imperial court's decree and Anmin's notice arrived at Songjiang at the same time. ——When the imperial envoy arrives, he always puts out the billboard first.This way of putting Anmin's notices on the cities along the way should be unprecedented, and no one will come later.

Everyone was relieved when they saw that the Imperial Commissioner Hai's scope of authority was strictly limited to Songjiang, and when he mainly managed the litigation cases. ——Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng was thoughtful, otherwise when Hai Rui arrived, all the gentry in the city would all run away.

On March [-], Hai Rui finally arrived in Songjiang.Wang Yixiu, who had been prepared for a long time, followed, and sent him to his home to rest, and discussed with him about the imperial dispatch.

Hai Rui was 61 years old at this time, but he still walked like the wind and sounded like a bell.On the black face, the cheeks were sunken, and a pair of big eyes were piercing under the thick eyebrows, which made the cheekbones even more prominent.

Wang Yixiu saw that he was set up, and asked him where he was going to arrange the Xingyuan.Hai Rui asked back, where are the people from the Dali Temple in the imperial court?Wang Yi, who cultivates Taoism, is in my prefect's yamen. These days, they are divided into four groups, and cases are being judged every day.

Hearing this, Hai Rui smiled and said, "Since that's the case, if it's not inconvenient, there's no need to ask the imperial clerk to go there, and I'll keep it in your yamen."

Wang Zhifu only asked Hai Rui to help him share some of the responsibilities. There is no reason not to agree. He said in his heart that even if I move out, as long as you end the lawsuit, I really don't care.

On the fourth day of the third month, Hai Rui began to terminate the case.Because the name of Qingtian was too loud and the grassroots experienced extremely rich, Hai Rui's case was resolved very quickly, and there were few complaints.

This year, many gangsters in Songjiang thought that he could support the proletarians as he did five years ago. Before that, they had prepared a petition, and when Hai Rui started the trial, they all handed it in.

Unexpectedly, Hai Rui had already anticipated this festival, and had already kept at hand the list of people who had filed for lawsuits last year.Seeing that the new papers were all new cases, he first sent someone to interview them to find out the truth.

Every few days, when I ascend to the hall, I will first ask the plaintiff in the new case what he did for a living.Why haven't you told me before?Then he matched the facts of the visit with his words, and basically no one could withstand his three or five questions.

Hai Rui's life was the most hated by this lawsuit. How could it be used for the first half of the day? Outside the prefectural government of Songjiang, people with big wooden shackles stood in a row to show the crowd, and all of a sudden, they beat the crooked thoughts of these social rats.

After Hai Rui joined the work of resolving the case and closing the case, he was able to top the king with five repairs and still be rich, and finally completed the trial of all the lawsuits before mid-March.

Wang Yixiu put his heart down, and regardless of Hai Rui's taboos, he insisted on paying for a meal at a big restaurant.

Hai Rui didn't eat human fireworks. Seeing Wang Zhifu's sincere invitation, he changed into civilian clothes and followed him out of the government office.

Before reaching the place to eat, Hai Rui pointed to groups of men and women who were prostituting themselves with grass signs on the side of the road, and said to Wang Zhifu, "Why are there so many prostitutes? Why don't you do business? pregnancy?"

Wang Yixiu smiled bitterly and said, "These are all slaves sent by the Xu family. They can only serve people, not farming and making a living. Songjiang is relatively small, and Huating has thousands."

When Hai Rui heard this, his face changed color and he said, "The imperial court has only issued the order for slavery, and the officials and people are all recruiting slaves. How can they recruit them at home? In this way, these people have no means of food and clothing, and I don't know how long it has been. ?"

Seeing that Wang Yixiu's face turned pale, Hai Rui let out a thump in his heart and asked him, "When did the Xu family sack them?"

Wang Yixiu was speechless, he just stretched out his hand and made a 'six' gesture, meaning it had been more than six months.

After hearing this, Hai Rui carefully looked at the faces of the men and women by the roadside.Seeing that they were all disheveled, and looking at them with hatred in their eyes, I was secretly shocked: "The chaos is right in front of you!"

　Sorry for being late, and I didn't write it well, sorry!
