Jiajing patiently looked through the memorials sent, especially the one by Xu Wei, who never tires of reading them. With Xu Wei's talent, he praised someone with all his strength, which will make you blush.

Xu Wei passed the imperial examination in the 35th year of Jiajing. He entered the dynasty for ten years. He saw and heard very extensively. He focused on opening the sea, fighting against the Japanese, and imprisoning the enemy. He believed that his achievements were the greatest, far superior to those of all dynasties.

Taking Kaihai as an example, the Maritime Administration Department has been popularized and destroyed several times before. During the Chenghua period, the Maritime Bank was only 250,000 taels per year. In the 43rd year of Jiajing, the Maritime Bank was approaching 6 million taels, which was more than 20 times more than the Chenghua period, and even exceeded the land tax, accounting for more than 50% of the tax.

At the same time, the goods from the Maritime Bureau exceeded 80 million taels every year, and the unprecedented prosperity of sea trade and the abundant tax revenue allowed the court to calmly resist the Japanese.

Xu Wei mentioned in a serious matter that the military expenditure in the southeast exceeds 2 million yuan per year, but the people can live and work in peace and stability, which is unprecedented in history.

Now that the Japanese pirates have been pacified, the military expenditure in the southeast has gradually shifted northward. The next step for the imperial court is to train cavalry and counterattack Altan of the Northern Barbarians. It is possible to pacify the Northern Barbarians for five years or ten years.

Xu Wei concluded that although the national power is not as strong as that of Hong Yongren and Xuan of the four dynasties, Your Majesty worked hard to govern and devoted his work. The Ming Dynasty had the momentum of revival, Your Majesty made great contributions. How could he slander the wisdom of our emperor...

Seeing such a profound memorial, Jiajing felt much better. It seemed that he did a lot of things. Although he could not compare with Cheng Zuye, he was always much stronger than emperors of all dynasties.

As soon as he was happy, Eunuch Wu slipped in from outside the hall in shame and hid next to him, for fear that Jiajing would see him. He seemed to have done something bad and dared not see his parents' virtues.

"Get over!" Jiajing said in a muffled voice.

Eunuch Wu hurriedly ran a few steps and knelt in front of Jiajing.

"I pay homage to the Emperor. The Emperor's Dragon Body is healthy. I am very happy to see him. The Emperor is really the emperor who has a hundred spirits to protect him. It won't take long before the Dragon Body will recover."

"Don't talk about those useless!" Jiajing snorted, "I ask you, is that beast unwilling to agree?"

After raising Hai Rui, Eunuch Wu's mouth twitched a few times, his facial features were distorted, and his whole body changed. He has been following Jiajing for more than 20 years and has seen all kinds of storms.

Not to mention the small doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, even the Minister of the Shangshu, he is usually very glorious. When he comes to the imperial prison, he is as soft as noodles. He listens whatever he wants.

Take Yan Shifan as an example. It is the same thing that he was imprisoned in the imperial prison. He was still crying behind his back, which was really a laughing thing.

Only Hai Rui, if you don’t have oil and salt, you will be a lump of elm.

It’s useless to say soft words to him, and it’s even more useless to say ruthless words. The reason is not reasonable, and human relationships are even more unreasonable.

"The emperor, I have been there three times, but there is really nothing I can do. I told him that my mother was old and her wife was pregnant. If he died, the family would be over. But he said that since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety were hard to achieve both loyalty and filial piety. Since he was an official, he had to be a good person and speak up for justice. This was also what my mother taught me. It is a small filial piety to be happy at her knees, and respecting her mother's teachings is great filial piety. If my mother knew that he was loyal to the country, she would agree with it. I also said that since I wanted to be a loyal minister, why should I go against Your Majesty and insult the king and father. He also said that the memorials were all facts, and there was no word false or fabricated. To be honest, how could it be insulted by the king and father? To the king, Yao and Shun, to relieve the people, and to speak out for advice are the duty of the ministers, and it is also the sage of the great master. He cannot violate it, and he does not know where the mistake is..."

"Stop talking!"

Jiajing was so angry that he lifted up the memorials on the table and threw them all on the ground.

"The beast's heart cannot be thorough!"

OK, Hai Rui has become a stubborn Yugong.

Eunuch Wu had one or two eyes, "The emperor, I think there is nothing to say about the traitors. I will use the great punishment now. With the eighteen methods of the East Factory, I can guarantee that he can bow his head and admit his mistake."

"Pooh!"

Jiajing spat hard, "Brainless fool, have you forgotten Yu Dayou a few years ago? I dare to boast about the skills of Dongchang, I am embarrassed for you?"

Eunuch Wu was scolded and shrank his neck, "Your Majesty, you can't let it go, why don't you kill me!"

This time, the eunuch who was too lazy to even say something, was waiting for him with a cannibal look. Eunuch Wu quickly buried his head in his chest and did not dare to say a word. Eunuchs who didn't read much from him and who had only studied "The Book of Sunflower" had no other tricks except to convince others with their fierceness, be competitive, and be brave and ruthlessness.

At the critical moment, Jiajing had to rely on his own ideas to study Hai Rui's archives carefully. This guy entered the official position as a juren. In ten years, he became a fifth-rank official in Beijing. I have to say that he has a great knowledge of Taoism.

However, this man was an official all the way, but he offended his superiors all the way. When he was a teacher, he refused to worship because he was standing and got the nickname "Haibijia".

Later, Tang Yi went south to Kaihai, chose Hai Rui, and became the magistrate of Jinjiang. To be honest, Hai Rui did a lot of things to build a Maritime Warehouse Department in order to open the sea, which was a contribution. However, what is surprising is that in charge of the fattest errands in the world, Hai Rui could not even afford meat, which was simply incredible.

What is even more surprising is that this guy who was incompatible with the officialdom was not killed by his colleagues, but continued to wander in the officialdom and become the prefect of Huai'an, offending the then imperial envoy Yan Maoqing.

I went to Nanjing to become an official. Because the Xu family annexed the land and clashed with Xu Jie again, I ran to the small station and fought with Tang Yi before I could even be transferred to the capital...

Such a good thing is so comfortable, Shangguan can't even feel comfortable wherever he goes. Why did those people from the Ministry of Personnel blindly get the disaster star and bring the disaster to the capital?

The more Jiajing thought about it, the more angry he became. He saw through it. Hai Rui was not greedy for money, was not afraid of death, could not steam or cook, and did not care about any coercion, temptation and temptation.

Then he didn't care?

Jiajing believes that there must be, that is reputation!

That's right, just like those annoying censors, they deliberately cause trouble for the emperor and write letters to scold the emperor in the name of blunt advice, which would be better for the emperor to beat them up with a court stick.

The worse they fight, the happier they are.

Soon, the world will spread their reputation of pleading for the people and being killed innocently. Wherever they go, they will receive heroic treatment. Some people give gold and some people give beauty. As long as they endure for a few years, the situation will be calm, they can transform and make a comeback and become a famous minister of a generation.

Such people who rely on making reputations for the emperor are the most ugly. But what they are doing is to make themselves successful, but what is to ruin my country!

There is no doubt that in Jiajing's heart, Hai Rui is such a person, and he has taken this path to the extreme.

In the past, those people had to keep a proper sense. If they did not get the court stick, they would get the ghost-headed knife and lose their heads. No matter how famous they are, they would not have the blessing to enjoy it.

For the sake of his reputation, Hai Rui even wanted his life! He was the craziest gambler, he was betting on life with me!

If he was punished or killed, he would give him a chance to become famous all over the world for nothing and fulfill his vicious heart. I would not be so stupid and help you become famous!

Don’t you want to play? I’m with you. If you are scared by you, a little fifth-rank sesame official, I am not the supreme of the Ming Dynasty!

"Transfer my will and ask the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College to recruit great scholars from all over the world to Beijing, and work with the three judicial departments to jointly interrogate the beast. He must convince him."

Jiajing was very smart. Even if only half of the memorials were sincere, it would be enough. After all, not everyone is crazy and dared to discuss the sins of the king and father in public. I am the emperor, with three pillars and five constants, and layers of constraints. To put it bluntly, after more than two thousand years of hard work and the efforts of Confucian scholars throughout the ages, the whole world is running around the emperor who is above.

What insults the king and father is shaken by the foundation of Confucian Taoism, which will definitely cause a strong rebound. Jiajing once remembered something. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he read books around the world, but found that Mencius' arguments were very unpleasant.

"If a king treats his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers regard him as his confidant; if a king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers regard him as his countrymen; if a king treats his ministers as earth, then his ministers regard him as enemies."

What does it mean? The emperor is not good to his ministers, so his ministers will oppose the emperor? It is simply outrageous. Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and wanted to drive Mencius out of the Confucius Temple, which aroused the backlash from the ministers. Qian Tang, the Minister of Justice, went into battle with his hands and was shot by two arrows. He still insisted on pleading with Zhu Yuanzhang, and finally retained Mencius' status.

If a person who had moved two thousand years ago would have such a big rebound, directly attacking the living emperor and trampling the Three Bonds and Five Constant Persons under his feet, what would happen to the literati?

Although they usually say that they have a shortcoming and hate it very much, when faced with big troubles, they will definitely have their own choices and will not let down the high expectations of the king and father. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be useless to support scholars in the Ming Dynasty for 200 years?

The more Jiajing thought about it, the more he felt that his chances of winning were very high, but he forgot that he personally ordered Yang Shen, who shouted "The country has been raising scholars for 150 years, and his loyalty will be today."

Make your own sins, taste them yourself!

"I began to believe that there is a retribution in this world."

After learning that Jiajing issued the order, Tang Yi sighed in emotion.

He had originally wanted to use Hai Rui's affairs to shake the imperial power, but he didn't know that Jiajing had made a fool of himself and took the initiative to summon the world's great scholars to Beijing. He really made a mistake in his plan.

"The situation now is completely different from the beginning of the country, especially in recent years, merchants have traveled from north to south, and after the newspapers appeared, the news spreads all over the world. Zhu Houcong has done wrong things over the years, and the three-foot children in the southeast can also say a few things. Which highly respected scholar in the world dares to speak for Jiajing publicly and against his conscience?" Wang Yin said with a smile: "Sir, this time we are a god-given opportunity to promote the Tang Dynasty philosophy and advocate equality of responsibilities and power. We cannot miss it!"
