Chapter 176 Hai Rui Wants to Pretend to Be Disgraceful in Officialdom
Soon, the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies, and Zheng Bichang picked up the wine glass, filled Hai Rui's glass, and then poured himself a glass.
"Come on, take this glass of wine as my thank you for your kindness last time!"
As Zheng Michang said, he raised his wine glass, and Hai Rui also raised his wine glass and touched Zheng Michang.
After drinking a glass of wine, Zheng Michang's face also turned rosy, and he said: "Come here, let's eat food, the fish in this restaurant is outstanding!"
Seeing this, Hai Rui took a piece of fish and put it into his mouth. In an instant, the unique sweetness of fish permeated the whole mouth, making people want to stop.
"Well, this fish is pretty good, isn't it? This is the restaurant's signature dish! Most people can't even eat it."
After Zheng Bichang finished speaking, he also picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.
Hai Rui put down his chopsticks, his face was full of hesitation: "My lord political envoy, I want to..."
"We don't talk about business at the wine table, let's talk about it later."
After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he glanced at Hai Rui with a look of reproach on his face.
Hai Rui had no choice but to continue raising his wine glass and clinking glasses with Zheng Michang.
"Come on, come on, cheers!"
"cheers."
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zheng Michang was lying powerlessly on the table, talking nonsense nonsense.
"My lord, the chief minister, can I ask you questions now?"
Hai Rui put down the wine glass in his hand and spoke.
"Ask...Ask, hiccup! By the way, you've drank so much, why didn't you feel a little bit drunk?"
Zheng Michang barely supported his body, looked at Hai Rui with drunken eyes, and said doubtfully.
"Your Majesty Chief Minister doesn't know. Before the official was an official, there was a wine shop in the village! Although the wine it sold was new, it tasted like old wine."
"If things go on like this, you will have the ability to keep a thousand cups for the next official."
Hai Rui smiled, and then explained to Zheng Michang.
"Ridiculous, this is clearly the content of a certain storybook novel! I have read it before."
After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he stood up unsteadily again, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Didn't you say earlier that if you have any questions, you want to ask me? Just ask."
Zheng Michang was in a good mood, turned his gaze to Hai Rui, and said in a deep voice.
"My lord chief minister, the thing is like this..."
Immediately, Hai Rui told Zheng Michang all his doubts.
"What? Don't look into this matter anymore! Just pretend that this matter never happened, rot it in your stomach, and never say it!"
After hearing Hai Rui's description, Zheng Michang broke out in a cold sweat, and even sobered up a lot, he warned Hai Rui.
"Why is this?"
Hai Rui was quite puzzled by Zheng Michang's reaction and asked in confusion.
From Hai Rui's point of view, the government's policy of reducing and exempting people's taxes has never been implemented!The burden on the people is getting heavier and heavier. If things go on like this, once natural and man-made disasters happen and the people lose their jobs, they will end up selling their sons and daughters.
If the government's relief is not in place, these people who have no work will instantly turn into refugees in order to survive, causing riots!At that time, the situation will be irreversible.
Zheng Michang didn't answer Hai Rui's question directly, but picked up the jug on the table, poured himself another glass of wine, and then said slowly.
"When I went to measure the fields in Zhejiang, someone said the same thing as you. He is Gao Hanwen, and he is also a student of Xiaoge Lao Yan Shifan!"
"It stands to reason that his identity and background are much higher than yours, the county magistrate of Chun'an! But why did he choose to keep silent?"
"Because there are too many people involved behind this. If we investigate it one by one, the entire imperial court, and even those high-ranking elders will not be spared! They must be punished according to the law of the Ming Dynasty!"
When Zheng Michang said this, he paused for a moment, and only continued after drinking the wine in his glass.
"Don't investigate any further. I just said so much to you because I wanted to be kind to you before you. Otherwise, I would have dealt with you a long time ago!"
"Listen to my advice, you can't handle this matter! Forget about it completely, and stay in the magistrate's position for a few years with peace of mind. As for the promotion, this officer will find a way for you. "
After Zheng Michang finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Hai Rui, quietly waiting for his answer.
After a long time, Hai Rui's throat twitched, he shook his head, and said slowly, "My lord, you have misunderstood! The previous incident was the official's accusation. If other people were present, I'm sorry. Will do that too."
After Hai Rui finished speaking, he got up from his seat and prepared to leave.
"Hai Rui, you don't want to toast or eat fine wine! Is this something that you, a little magistrate, can resist?"
"You are making an enemy of the entire officialdom! If you walk out of this door today, don't blame me for being merciless!"
When Hai Rui walked to the door, Zheng Michang's threatening voice came from behind.
Hai Rui paused, turned around to look at Zheng Bichang, bowed slightly, and said in a loud voice, "Thank you, Mr. Chief Political Officer, for taking care of me! This officer also understands what your lord said. It’s all true, but someone has to do something, right?”
"If everyone knows the truth and keeps silent, just muddle through and continue to whitewash the peace, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment? How can the Ming Dynasty talk about prosperity?"
"My lord, I'm sorry! This matter must be done by the lower officials."
After Hai Rui finished speaking, without any hesitation, he pushed the door open and left, leaving only Zheng Michang sitting in the room blankly.
After a while, there was a crisp 'bang', and it turned out that Zheng Bichang was so angry that he dropped his wine glass.
"Bastard! Idiot! Hai Rui, I will make you regret it!"
I saw Zheng Michang looking at the wide open door, gritted his teeth and said.
……
When Hai Rui came out of the restaurant, a gust of cool wind blew in his face, which made him quite awake.
"By the way, what is the name of the person that the chief minister just mentioned? Oh, I remembered, Gao Hanwen!"
Hai Rui stood at the door of the restaurant, talking to himself silently.
Immediately, Hai Rui made up his mind that he must go to Gao Hanwen to find out some details.
After many inquiries, Hai Rui finally found out where Gao Hanwen lived.
"Excuse me, is this the residence of Mr. Gao?"
Hai Rui came to Gao Hanwen's residence and asked the guard at the door.
"Sir, are you?"
Seeing the official uniform Hai Rui was wearing, the guards at the door did not dare to neglect, and quickly said respectfully.
"My official is Hai Rui, the magistrate of Chun'an County. I want to know something about Mr. Gao. Please go in and report it!"
"My lord, please wait a moment, this subordinate will go in and report."
Seeing that Hai Rui had something to discuss with his lord, he hurried in to report.
In the room, Gao Hanwen was practicing calligraphy, and his pen was flying between dragons and snakes, showing elegance.
This is his habit since he became an official. Whenever he feels bored, he calms down and writes a line. After a line is finished, his mood will improve a lot.
"Huh~ I finally finished writing!"
Gao Hanwen put down the brush in his hand, and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
At this moment, the guard's announcement came from behind.
"My lord, Hai Rui, the county magistrate of Chun'an, is asking to see you outside!"
"Hai Rui? What is he doing here with me? Forget it, let him in."
After being suspicious for a moment, Gao Hanwen ordered so.
"Yes, my lord! This subordinate will inform him now."
Hearing Gao Hanwen's order, the guards quickly took the order and left.
