Chapter 1289 The last "teaching" of Jiajing

As a good official who left his name in history, Hai Rui was called Hai Qingtian by later generations. Stories about his uprightness were widely circulated among the people, but he was not actually an official.

"Hai Rui Ji" contains his fifteen memorials, nine of which are about specific political affairs, such as "Kai Wusong Jiang Shu" and "Recruiting Soldiers", and three of them are resignations.

The last three words, one is the "Begging Party's Evil Word Officials" that Xu Jie spoke for when Xu Jie was attacked, but the evaluation is fair, and Xu Jie is also satirized in it, and the other is self-defense when he was attacked "Shu Shun Zi Chen Bu Zhi Shu", the last one is "Shu Shu".

From this ratio, it can also be seen that Hai Rui is not a straight name at all. He is quite pragmatic and solves practical problems more than commenting on current affairs.

In fact, even without "Public Security", Hai Gangfeng's political achievements are very worthy of consideration. Dredging the Wusong River is enough for him to be famous in Ming history. Of course, for future generations, he must not be so well-known.

After all, "Public Security" had a great influence on later generations, and it was the number one book in the world. No matter how deep their understanding of history was, most of them had heard this memorial that scolded the emperor.

The version preserved by later generations has more than 3000 words.

If you have no idea about the number of words, then "Yueyang Tower" is more than 300 words, and "Teacher List" is more than 700 words, you can make an analogy. This is probably the reason why "Zhi An Shu" was not included in the textbook for memorization.

In fact, Hai Rui didn't scold Jiajing for more than 3000 words. The entire "Shu of Public Security" is well-organized and divided into three parts.

The first part is to explain "the way of the emperor is not right" and point out the mistakes of the emperor.

The second part is to explain the "unclear position of ministers" and expose the mistakes of officials.

The last part, based on the above analysis, puts forward specific suggestions of "seeking peace for all eternity".

This memorandum has a clear structure, clear logic, and fits the current situation. It is both earnest in words and penetrating, and it is consistent from beginning to end. The first sentence at the beginning sets the tone.

A smart person like Jiajing knew what the other party was going to say from the first sentence.

So, there was an idea in my mind, I put together the memorial and threw it out, regardless of what rebellious things this courtier wrote, I just read it with my eyes uncontrollable.

"The king is the lord of all the subjects of the world, but he is the lord of all the subjects of the world, and he has the heaviest responsibility..."

"What does Your Majesty think of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty?...We are rich all over the world, but we don't say that the people's fat is there, but they spend extravagant construction. If we don't look at the court for 20 years, the rules and disciplines will be relaxed. A few promotional examples, the famous and nobles will be overwhelmed..."

"When two kings don't meet each other, people think they are weaker than father and son; when they suspect and slander, kill and humiliate their officials, people think they are weaker than monarchs and ministers; if they enjoy Xiyuan and don't return to the palace, people think they are weaker than husband and wife. Corrupt officials in the world will be weak, people will live in poverty, floods and droughts When the time is low, the thieves are rampant..."

"Because your Majesty changed the name of the Yuan Dynasty, the whole world conjectures: Those who are in Jiajing say that their families are all clean and have no money to use."

Jiajing's face was livid, his eyes were bloodshot, and the more he looked, the angrier he became, and the angrier he looked, the more he looked.

Finally, the words that have been buried deep in my heart for fear of becoming reality, appeared in front of my eyes: "...the people in the world are not worth your Majesty for a long time!"

There was a "boom" in Jiajing's head, and the whole hall was full of this sentence, this sentence was spoken by a courtier: "The people in the world are not worthy of your majesty for a long time... The people in the world are not worth for your majesty for a long time..."

The resentful souls in the city died in vain!

Evaluation of later history books!
This memorandum will instantly pull down the emperor who stands high above me, from the altar, and write it into history in advance!

"Inverted--!!"

Jiajing finally let out a scream, his face turned from blue to white, revealing a fierce look of despair, the veins in the hand holding Zuoshu burst out, trembling violently and shaking.

Lu Fang froze there, looking at the master in disbelief, and the officials outside the hall also faintly heard the scream inside, all of them were inexplicably shocked, and had a premonition that the sky would collapse in an instant!
Snapped!
After subconsciously screaming, Jiajing seemed to have finally regained control of his body. He didn't even look at the rest of the memorandum. He didn't even know his official position, let alone the specific measures Hai Rui proposed. He just threw the object on the ground hard. .

That angry force seemed to smash a mountain into pieces, and then shouted like crazy: "Where is Lu Bing? Catch! Catch this man, don't let him escape!"

"Yes Yes……"

Lu Fang trembled all over, and the palm print eunuch, who has always been known for being calm and introverted, responded, and then rushed towards the outsider at a galloping speed, even a little staggering.

When we got to the gate of the palace, we saw Lu Bing standing in the front row, also looking inside with his head.

Lu Bing knew that being in charge of Jinyiwei was a very unpleasant thing. Although he was Jiajing's absolute confidant, he was always low-key in big scenes.

But when he heard the commotion inside, he had no choice but to come forward.

Lu Ben, the only elder in the cabinet, couldn't bear the burden. He was already trembling all over, fighting with each other.

Young courtiers, such as Gao Gong, a Hanlin attendant who lectured for King Yu, have never seen such a scene, and only feel that the Qianqing Palace is about to collapse!
Lu Bing had no choice but to stand up. Seeing that he was a military general standing out from the crowd, many civil servants were very upset, and another name came up: "It would be great if Hu Butang was here..."

"Your Majesty looked at a congratulatory form and was extremely furious. It should have been something rebellious."

"Whose memorial?"

"I don't know."

Not to mention what the officials thought, Lu Bing and Lu Fang had already gathered together, and after whispering a few words, they walked towards the inside together.

When they came to the hall, Jiajing still maintained the same posture, his eyes protruded slightly, and his chest heaved violently.

Lu Bing and Lu Fang's heart trembled.

They were all the first to follow Jiajing, from the controversy of the Great Rites, to the Renyin Palace Change, to the killing of the Yan Party, one after another, they have experienced many thrilling things, and they have never seen Jiajing before. Roaring like a lion, furious like a madman like today!
What kind of memorabilia has such power?

The answer was quickly revealed.

Seeing Lu Bing coming in, Jiajing didn't speak, but just pointed to the ground, motioning him to look.

Lu Bing stepped forward, carefully picked up the memorial, and turned it over.

Seeing that Lu Bing's gaze really fell, Jiajing's pupils shrank again, and he felt as if he had been stripped naked, standing naked between the sky and the earth,

Lu Bing lowered his head and didn't notice the slight change in his expression. He glanced at ten lines, and his heart was full of turmoil. He was even more regretful. He immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down! Jin Yiwei Immediately apprehend Hai Rui, I will be punished for the crime of negligence!"

The duty of Jin Yiwei is indeed to predict the event first, and this kind of memorial that offended the emperor should never appear in front of Jiajing.

It's a pity that during this period of time, the main focus of Jingshi Jinyiwei is on the little prince.

Just as Jiajing had predicted that day, King Jing saw that his elder brother had an heir, wiped out his greatest advantage, became furious in the mansion, and even really moved, planning to be unfavorable to that young son.

If other people dared to do this kind of plan to kill the nine clans, they would have been arrested in advance, but when it came to the prince, Lu Bing still focused on prevention, and sent additional people to watch King Jing's every move. Dare to act rashly.

Jiajing's order at that time also made Jinyiwei relax some of the supervision of the officials in the capital. Hai Rui is an ordinary head of the household department.
Due to various factors, Datian listened to "Public Security"...

Lu Bing was doing this to make things easier for Jiajing, and he took the responsibility on himself, which can be said to be loyal, Lu Fang knew what he meant, and nodded secretly.

However, none of them expected that Jiajing would look at the milk brother firmly when he heard the words, and show a strange smile: "Overseeing... overseeing...you have been in charge of Jinyiwei for 30 years, and you will also oversee it?"

Lu Bing froze.

Lu Fang was shocked.

Jiajing's eyes were turned up, the black pupils disappeared, only the white eyeballs were exposed, and he said with a strange smile: "I know, the subjects of the world have been waiting for many years, just waiting for such a person to come out and scold me, and then force them to come out." I'm abdicating... the whole body is united, the inside and outside are colluding, and I was kept in the dark by you!"

Both Lu Bing and Lu Fang were dumbfounded.

In terms of closeness, in the whole world, no courtier is closer than the two of them.

The former Tao Zhongwen couldn't do it, and Yan Song, who was a scapegoat, couldn't do it.

Now Jiajing doesn't even believe Lu Bing, and according to this, even Lu Fang is suspected?
"People who are selfish to the extreme, at critical moments, of course only believe in themselves."

This good show also fell into the eyes of Li Yan who was sitting on Zhenwu Xuanyue, and commented leisurely.

Perhaps Lu Bing and Lu Fang had followed Jiajing for decades and knew their daily behaviors very well, but after all, there were differences between monarchs and ministers, masters and servants, and they still couldn't fully understand Jiajing's nature.

The authorities are obsessed with onlookers, and Li Yan doesn't have much contact with Jiajing, but whether it is from the understanding of history books or the understanding of the world, it can be seen that this great son of heaven is a person who is stubborn, contradictory, selfish, insincere, and extremely suspicious.

After experiencing many disputes such as great etiquette, there is even a kind of fun in his bones that he likes to fight against his courtiers.

Because of this, Jiajing asked the officials to congratulate him at this juncture.

The salary is not paid, and the year is sad, but you have to flatter the emperor to move to the new palace, isn't it very aggrieved?
That has to be endured!

Reasoning is not power, only being above reason is power!

With such a temper, Jiajing has been in charge of Da Mingxia for 40 years. He has long been accustomed to this kind of condescending control. As a result, when all the officials congratulated him and whitewashed the peace, Hai Rui used such a memorandum to make himself almost Ten years of deeds have been thoroughly criticized, revealing the truth that everyone knows but no one dares to speak out, the shock, rage and disbelief in my heart are naturally unspeakable!
The point is that Jiajing quickly had an association.

This is a collective premeditated coercion. The head of the household department is irrelevant, the key is that the officials are going to turn against him, and even the people around him can't stand him. They work together and collude with each other to force him to abdicate!
Ever since, the ethereal voice mixed with disappointment and madness came clearly to the ears of the important officials in the palace: "Since no one in the world is worth me for a long time, then what face do I have to stand in the world again? As you all said Wishing to pass the decree to abdicate and return to Xiyuan for self-imprisonment..."

No courtier could bear these words, Lu Bing and Lu Fang fell to the ground hissingly as if waking up from a dream, and kowtowed desperately: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty must not!"

When they had finished knocking, Jiajing's face seemed to be a smile but not a smile, or most of them were smiles, just a sinister smile, with his head poked forward, and asked Lu Bing softly: "You and I have been drinking alone since we were young. Big one, tell me who ordered Hai Rui, it's not too late to tell me now!"

Lu Bing wanted to cry without tears: "Return to Your Majesty, I really don't know if someone ordered Hai Rui, don't dare to speak nonsense!"

Jiajing's voice became softer and more menacing: "I won't pursue you, you don't have to stand in the way for others, tell me, is it the east side of your mansion, or the west side?"

Lu Bing was stunned again.

There is a palace on the east and west sides of his mansion.

One is Prince Yu's Mansion and the other is King Jing's Mansion.

The meaning of Jiajing is that he thought that King Yu or King Jing planned this matter behind his back, and he was also caught in the battle for the heir apparent, and came to force the king to abdicate?
This is obviously illogical, not to mention decades of loyalty to the emperor. As Jiajing's confidant, Lu Bing's status and favor have not been improved. What benefits can I get?
So Lu Bing opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer, while Lu Fang trembled slightly, but he didn't dare to answer.

Li Yanyao watched this drama of retreating into advance, and secretly shook his head: "Jiajing is half crazy."

It is impossible to abdicate. Jiajing believed that someone was instigating Hai Rui to force the palace. The first targets of suspicion were naturally the two sons who were qualified to inherit the throne.

The world is most afraid of the suspicion of the emperor, especially the prince. I am afraid that a purge that will harm the country will happen!

This one who is determined to be the Emperor of Han Wen, is old and old, but the lord has launched the disaster of witchcraft, the capital's blood flowed into rivers, and the royal ministers were implicated many times, shaking the country's foundation.

Although Emperor Wu of the middle and later period of the Han Dynasty was full of military power and wiped out the money and food of the two emperors Wen and Jing, and the national power declined day by day, the foundation of the great Han still remained, and the declining Ming Dynasty would never be able to withstand such a catastrophe.

Fortunately, Li Yan was well prepared.

"Drive! Drive!"

The affairs of the palace are not known to the outside world, but now the auspicious time for relocation has not yet arrived, but a fast horse rushed to the gate of the palace. gallop.

On this happy day, even Dongchang shouldn't disturb him, especially since Chen Hong died in the south of the Yangtze River just after he was in charge of Dongchang.

However, when Lu Fang in the hall learned that the head of Dongchang entered the palace outside to report the news, her heart was moved, and she hurriedly made a gesture, signaling for people to listen to what was going on.

Not long after, he got the definite news, as if grasping the last straw, bowed down to Jiajing in ecstasy, and delivered the only good news:

"Congratulations, master! Congratulations, master! The imperial list has been revealed!"
