Xu Guangqi's words made Han Yu and others hesitate a little.

It’s not that they think there is something wrong with what Xu Guangqi said, but that they think what Xu Guangqi said is true.

If Chen Qingzhen was like Hai Rui, perhaps His Majesty would really reuse him.

One thing was very clear. Although Han Yu and others had not spent a long time with His Majesty, they were actually not short. For them, they already knew his temper.

For example, Your Majesty does not like to compromise and will not be threatened. For example, Your Majesty often does not consider traditional things when doing things, but will instead start from some very strange perspectives.

In a word, no matter what His Majesty will do, it will not make people feel strange.

You said that Your Majesty is moody, not he. In short, it gives people a very strange feeling.

You said that Your Majesty is not wise. Many of the things he did made everyone praise him, but often it makes people speechless, and even think that this is a foolish emperor.

His Majesty’s feeling is very contradictory. Of course, this is just the feeling of the four Cabinet Grand Secretary present.

If the outside world wants to evaluate it, some people will think that Your Majesty may be a wise ruler, but there may not be many such people;

More people don’t have a high opinion of Your Majesty, and many people even secretly criticize Your Majesty like Chen Qing.

This is also the reason why Han Dong and others are worried that things will be a big deal.

"This has nothing to do with us." Han Du sat upright and said slowly: "No matter what Chen Qing is like, it has little to do with us. If Chen Qing has problems himself, such as corruption or dereliction of duty, it will be a good thing for us."

Sun Chengzong instantly understood what Han Yu meant. All they wanted to protect was their own right to speak and not allow His Majesty to kill people because of his speech.

If Chen Qing had other mistakes, then it would be understandable that His Majesty killed him, as long as he didn't kill him because he said the wrong thing.

After all, all people like me need is a fig leaf, not really trying to protect him.

The other two looked at each other. Of course, they also knew what Han Du said, and at the same time they understood what this sentence meant, but they could not explain it thoroughly, otherwise they would have no lower limit.

At the same time, Han Yu's words also reminded one thing, that is, no one can do Hai Rui.

The reason why Hai Rui was able to do that level back then was because this person was very outstanding, at least it was impossible to find fault with him.

So no one of Sun Chengzong and the other two spoke.

Seeing that the three of them didn't speak, Han Du said directly: "Now, go find the people below and tell them not to talk nonsense and not to make trouble with Chen Qing and the others."

"Let's first look at the result of the matter and see if there is something wrong with Chen Qing. Isn't the Jinyiwei checking him? Let's talk about it until the result comes out."

Several people nodded, which was a consensus on this matter. In this way, Han Yu and others stopped staying in the duty room, returned to their own places, and soon became busy, as if nothing had happened.

In the West Garden.

Zhu Youxiao is reading Hai Rui’s information.

After looking through some, Zhu Youxiao really discovered something he was interested in.

Before traveling through time, I had heard many legends about Hai Rui, more about his honest and honest side as an official.

Of course, there are also people who say that Hai Rui is a crime-breaking side, for example, he prefers the poor and blackmails the rich. When he decides the case, he asks the rich to use money to settle the poor, so he is supported by the poor.

What else can I starve my daughter to death because of fame and fortune? It can be said that the legend about Hai Rui is so magical.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't believe these two points.

Zhu Youxiao believed that Hai Rui valued fame and honor when studying; but Zhu Youxiao did not believe that Hai Rui had starved to death because of his daughter, because there were no official historical records at all, and it was all rumored.

According to Yao Shuxiang's "Seen Pian" in the Ming Dynasty:

Hai Rui's family was poor. One day, he saw his five-year-old daughter eating a cake, so he asked who gave it to him.

When he learned that it was given by a servant, Hai Rui said furiously: "How can a good woman accept men's things casually? Only if you starve to death is my Hai Rui's daughter!"

From then on, Hai Rui's daughter was so scared that she cried endlessly, and she didn't drink or eat. It was useless for her family to coax her and persuade her. She finally starved to death seven days later.

Regarding the fact that Hai Rui was starving his daughter to death because of his reputation, Zhou Lianggong, a Qing Dynasty man, also mentioned it in his book "Shuying". However, this matter was not recorded in official history such as "History of Ming Dynasty", "Shilu of Ming Dynasty", and "Guoqian".

If this is really the case, Zhu Youxiao would not believe that those historical facts are not recorded, especially the Ming Dynasty.

As for the above records of the case, Zhu Youxiao actually didn't believe it, but he didn't find any tangible evidence.

But when I was looking through the information today, Zhu Youxiao really found some interesting things.

"Anyone who is suspicious about lawsuits is better than his brother, he is better than his brother, he is better than his uncle, he is better than his nephew; he is better than his poor people, he is better than his rich people; he is more foolish and upright than his foolish and upright.

"It's about fighting for industry. Instead of being a small-minded person, it's better to be a civil servant to save the bad luck.

"It is about competing for appearance. Instead of being a vain, it is better to be a small person to maintain his body."

This view and strategy were proposed by Hai Rui. This is indeed a very important reason why Hai Rui was criticized in later generations.

Hai Rui's words will definitely not work in later generations and will inevitably be criticized. However, this sentence is praised by the people in this era.

The reason is also very simple. This is based on Confucius' idea of ​​"the father hides for the son, and the son hides for the father" and a complete set of village rules and regulations systems established based on this idea.

This is the mainstream idea and political correctness in this era.

However, these are not what interested Zhu Youxiao. What really interested him is another thing.

After Hai Rui took office as Governor Yingtian, he immediately promulgated the "Constitutional Agreement for Governors", which stipulated that the governors would not leave the city to greet each other, prefectures, prefectures, and county officials were not allowed to go out to welcome him or hold banquets.

Considering that the officials of the court may still have to be decent, Hai Rui allowed the working meal to have chicken, fish, and pork, but no geese and rice wine are allowed, and it is not allowed to exceed the food standards.

The standard for this food is: where the price is high, the silver is three cents; where the price is low, the expenses are even within the above amount.

Zhu Youxiao looks familiar with this policy the more he sees it, and even feels a little happy and feels a little emotional.

It would be strange if Hai Rui was not excluded if he could come up with such a policy.

He reached out and placed Hai Rui's information on the table, and Zhu Youxiao rubbed his forehead.

It would be great if his subordinates could have an official like Hai Rui. At least he was not afraid of death and could become a sharp knife in his hand.

As long as he can put such a person in the right position, he can do a lot of things for himself.

Although such people will have many limitations, many things that are not suitable for doing, and are not perfect candidates for officials in their hearts, Zhu Youxiao never thought that he could find a perfect candidate for officials in his heart.

This may not be found in later generations, and it will be even more impossible in the Ming Dynasty.

All Zhu Youxiao wants is an official who meets his own ideas, and all he wants is an official who can do his own affairs.

I hope this Chen Qing is like Hai Rui. If so, this person really needs to be reused.

"Emperor," Chen Hong walked over at this time and said softly: "It's time to have a meal."

Zhu Youxiao looked up at the sky and found that it was already sunset.

At this time, when he heard Chen Hong say this, Zhu Youxiao finally felt a little hungry. He rubbed his stomach and stood up and said, "Then go and have a meal."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong quickly agreed and led the way in front.

Zhu Youxiao was in a bad mood today, so he didn't go to Queen Zhang to have dinner with her.

Otherwise, Baozhu would have been worried when he saw that he was thinking hard, and he would not want to bring such a mood to Baozhu.

After dinner, Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Hong and asked, "Will it be the day for the Royal Academy exam tomorrow?"

"Yes, Emperor." After saying this, Chen Hong looked at Zhu Youxiao carefully and said, "Will Emperor go out tomorrow?"

As he said that, Chen Hong looked at his prince with some concern. The reason is very simple. If such a big thing happened today, is the emperor still in the mood?

After looking at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Why don't you go? Do you think this little thing can delay me in other things?"

"That Chen Qing is abominable, but it is not yet at the level of giving up doing serious business for him. You can prepare well and we will go out as usual tomorrow."

"Yes, the emperor. I have already arranged everything." Chen Hong nodded quickly and said.

In fact, Chen Hong prepared this matter a few days ago, and there was nothing to prepare for. After all, the emperor decided to go and have a look before.

I just asked that myself, just asking if the emperor wanted to cancel.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "That's good. Let's go and accompany me out for a walk."

After dinner every day, Zhu Youxiao would take a walk.

He didn't want to destroy his body. As the saying goes, "You can live ninety-nine after a meal, so he has always adhered to this habit.

But as soon as he left the door, Zhu Youxiao saw Empress Zhang walking towards him.

After seeing Empress Zhang, Zhu Youxiao smiled and won, saying, "Why did Baozhu come?"

"I'm here to accompany Your Majesty for a walk." Queen Zhang said with a smile, and at the same time walked to Zhu Youxiao and took the initiative to hold him.

This action surprised Zhu Youxiao slightly.

This is not like Queen Zhang's style. She will never do such actions on weekdays.

It seems like a lie to take a walk with me.

This is because I know I am in a bad mood and come to relax with me.
