Chapter 595 594 His actions can be forgiven, but his heart can be punished

He threw the memorial to the ground, and Emperor Jiajing said furiously: "Come here, order the Jinyiwei to come out and arrest people immediately, don't let him run away."

“Yes, yes, yes, obey the order.”

Chen Hong, who had been waiting below, saw the furious emperor, rolled and crawled along the way, and picked up the memorials on the ground and prepared to go out to pass the imperial edict.

"His Majesty."

At this time, Huang Jin, who had always been next to Emperor Jiajing, spoke in a low voice.

His call calmed down slightly by Emperor Jiajing, who was in a rage.

He is a stubborn person. Doesn’t Xuan Xiu have any consequences?

But if he persisted for so many years, if he gave up at the last moment, he would not only not become the wise monarch mentioned by the civil servants, but would become a fool, a fool who was deceived by those scammers in the world.

This is something he can't stand as an emperor.

Just now, Emperor Jiajing had the heart to kill Hai Rui. This man was so bad that he wanted to sprinkle salt on his wound.

However, Huang Jin's soft call was just right, allowing him to calm down gradually.

"Your Majesty, this man has always been a fool. I heard that before he submitted a memorial, he knew that he should have offended the emperor, so he bought a coffin and bid farewell to his wife. The servants ran around and did not stay. He would not escape by himself."

Seeing that Emperor Jiajing had calmed down, Huang Jin hurriedly spoke.

After Hai Rui’s memorial was reported today, he learned the details from the factory guards, but the memorial was not sent to the palace, so he couldn’t mention it first.

However, this did not prevent him from finding someone to find out Hai Rui's reality in advance.

All the family members had been dismissed, and there was a coffin in the main house, and Hai Rui was sitting next to the coffin at this time.

Huang Jin's words completely calmed down Emperor Jiajing. He realized that something was wrong. It seemed that someone dug a hole for him. When he thought of the words in the memorial, he understood it.

"This person compares himself to Bi Gan, but I am not King Zhou of Shang."

He exhaled a breath from his chest and Emperor Jiajing returned to his original appearance.

Chen Hong, who was below, was at a loss at this time and just accepted the order to arrest the person, but now, judging from the emperor's intention, it seems that he does not intend to pursue the matter.

"Ignore him, I will leave this memorial."

Emperor Jiajing seemed to see his embarrassment and said casually.

When Wei Guangde packed his desk and left the school recording hall, he did not hear the news of the palace ordering to arrest people.

Wei Guangde sat in the carriage and understood that most rumors in later generations were unreliable. Emperor Jiajing was furious to kill Hai Rui, and officials advised him. If he didn't read the "Commentary on Public Security", and combined with the current situation, he could not imagine the current situation at all.

Even if Hai Rui was arrested and released until King Yu ascended the throne, it might be just a means left by Emperor Jiajing to King Yu, allowing King Yu to face the subjects of the world with a virtuous reputation.

This is enough for Wei Guangde at the moment, so that King Yu will not make mistakes.

The carriage soon arrived in front of the Prince Yu's mansion. Wei Guangde got off the car directly and walked into Prince Yu's mansion.

After entering the door, an attendant came up to greet him.

"Mr. Wei, Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time."

“Leading the way forward.”

The young servant said with great sincerity, Wei Guangde gave a few words, but just gave a casual command.

This may be the consensus view of the officials in the court who think they are clear water.

If you dare to advise the emperor, such an official is at least not a bad person.

"But Your Highness is also worried that if the royal family sends signals to the outside world with such an attitude, it will be criticized?"

Wei Guangde turned around and looked at King Yu and asked.

King Yu was expressionless at this time, but Wei Guangde was already used to it.

It doesn't matter whether King Yu is really stupid or pretending to be stupid. What's important is that his expression often appears, and it looks unpredictable and profound in the eyes of some people who are not familiar with him.

Wei Guangde really didn't know how Hai Rui died, but he had some impression that Hai Rui had a very stale relationship with Xu Jie later. After Xu Jie retired, he was sent to Jiangnan, and his work was to specifically rectify Xu Jie.

As for the rumor that Xu Jie rescued Hai Rui who was imprisoned, Wei Guangde just laughed.

Anyway, he no longer believed that the impression of Hai Rui in later generations had been deliberately beautified.

"What kind of attitude should you take towards Hai Rui? Your Highness can just obey your original intention."

Wei Guangde also saw that King Yu seemed to recognize Hai Rui's memorial, but he did not dare to stand up and agree because the person being accused was his father.

Wei Guangde asked King Yu to obey his original intention, that is, since you think you cannot recognize Hai Rui, then just take revenge as you think.

This is not only for the person in Xiyuan, but also for the civil and military officials in the court and the subjects of the world, what is your attitude as a son?

At this time, King Yu's expression still changed slightly, but his eyes flashed, as if he had heard Wei Guangde's words.

After lowering his head and pondering for a long time, King Yu raised his head to Yin Shidan, who was beside him and said, "After Mr. Yin went out, he told the public that he did not like Hai Rui."

"Your Highness, although Lord Hai."

"Needless to say, this matter is settled."

King Yu waved his hand and interrupted Yin Shidan's words. He knew that what Yin Shidan wanted to say was that, and that was nothing more than that. It was just that the emperor had a wrong minister and should give advice, point out the king's mistakes, and let him correct them, so that the world could be stable.

He had heard of these things after Gao Gong was in class after a while, and at that time he felt that they were right.

But over the years, as he grew older and saw more and more things, he also found that it seemed that it was not the case.

Emperor Taizong of Tang seemed right, but after thinking about it carefully, I always felt very strange and it was not that simple.

To what Wei Guangde once told him, everyone is performing, performing hard, and performing for others to see.

Emperor Taizong of Tang performed this way in order to portray himself as a wise king. He was respectful to the wise and the poor, and was targeted at the remnants of the enemy, but in fact he was just to cover up the injustice of his gain of the throne.

He, King Yu, doesn't need to play, because he is the most upright party, he does nothing, and that position is his.

If you obey your original intention, since you agree with Hai Rui's words, but you are worried about it, just act like this.

"Mr. Yin, let's go back first, I have something else to say to Shandai."

King Yu spoke again.

"I'm leaving."

Although I don’t know what else to say about King Yu and Wei Guangde, Yin Shidan left the house after performing his rituals.

After the person left, King Yu looked at Wei Guangde and asked, "Shandai, what kind of person do you think Hai Rui is? Why did you submit this memorial?"

After asking this, Wei Guangde knew that King Yu had also thought about this question, which was the purpose of Hai Rui's memorial.

"Hai Rui once served as a magistrate of two magistrates. It is said that he is very famous, so he has a good reputation. Because he performed outstandingly in collecting land taxes during his tenure as a magistrate of Chun'an, he was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue."

Wei Guangde replied.

In fact, these were mentioned to him before, otherwise he would not have known Hai Rui's past experience.

"Tianfu?"

King Yu said suspiciously and looked at Li Fang.

Li Fang, who was beside him, just nodded slightly in the sight of King Yu.

"His land tax collection exceeds the previous practice?"

King Yu was curious at this time. He had already known about it from Li Fang, but he was very curious about what Wei Guangde meant to collect land taxes and wanted to figure out what was going on.

"this."

Wei Guangde was a little hesitant because this involved some local rules. Although he had never been to the local area and was in charge of the whole place, he knew what was going on from Ouyang Yijing. Combined with what he saw and heard in Jiujiang before, he naturally came up with the whole picture.

But Wei Guangde was hesitant to tell King Yu about the details.

In fact, what Hai Rui did in those two counties was just the word "fair". This should have been what local officials should do, but because most officials who continued to do it were difficult or did not know at all, Hai Rui's actions won him a great reputation.

The people collect land taxes according to the distribution method of land level. If you master the method of distribution, it is better to say that you are an official in the county government office.

When these people share land taxes, they often collude with local big investors for the sake of profit, and spread the land tax that should have been evenly distributed to the people who have been promoted through the land level.

What Hai Rui did was actually the sharing that he personally presided over and eliminated the profit-making manipulation of minor officials from it, and the people gained benefits.

At the same time, the cases encountered were also handled impartially, and thus the reputation of Qingtian spread.

I have to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps because of his past experience, Zhu Yuanzhang had fully considered this when formulating the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so he punished minor officials with particular harsh punishment.

In fact, because officials of this era entered the officialdom through the imperial examination and were also vain officials, they were often fooled by local officials. It can be said that the benefits of the officials have eaten a lot, and their bad reputation has been brought to bear by these officials.

In fact, when thinking about later generations, similar situations are not uncommon, and they are becoming more and more serious.

It is Wei Guangde's fellow villager Ouyang Yijing who wanted to return to the capital even if he refused to do it, because he was trying to erect it by the officials below.

Although there are many benefits, it is not comfortable to be put on by someone after all.

But everyone came according to the rules, and he couldn't catch the handle, so he asked Wei Guangde to change his position.
