Editing of the ten loyal ministers and the emperors standing up

Chapter 126 Hai Rui is in jail
[In 1562, Hai Ruiping was transferred to Jiangxi to rejuvenate the country. 】

The reason why he was transferred to Xingguo was because his superiors were very satisfied with Hai Rui's management in Chun'an. The situation in Xinguo was much worse than that in Chun'an, and officials like Hai Rui were needed to manage and change it.

Xingguo was plundered and burned three times by rogue bandits. The village was in depression, and nine of the ten houses were empty. In addition, the taxes and servitude increased day by day, and many people fled.

Seeing such a desolate scene, Hai Rui felt very sad and decided to make resettling the refugees and restoring production his top priority.

He began to follow the "Chun'an experience" in Chun'an and combined it with the previous magistrate's practice-most of his sleep and food were in the fields.
They also distributed the cleared land to the unemployed and landless people, and vigorously recruited refugees. The result was of course the same effect as in Chun'an.

The problem of redundant officials, excessive fees and arbitrary apportionment in Xingguo County is very serious. The people are eager for politicians to make innovations and eliminate this bad government.

In order to change the status quo, Hai Rui wrote articles such as "Eight Discussions on Rejuvenating the Country" and wrote to the governor Wu Baipeng.

I strongly implore him to trust and support the county officials who are committed to serving the people and taking on practical work, and to support their reforms without feeling any constraints.

Next was another time when he was not afraid of the powerful. Zhang Kui and Zhang Bao were the descendants of Zhang Hao, the Minister of War at that time.
When he went to Xingguo to buy timber, he took advantage of the situation to defraud money, oppressed the mountain people, and caused disputes.

Above the sky, Zhang Bao, the nephew of the Minister of War, said with disdain:

"Hai Rui, when people call you Hai Qingtian, do you really think you are Bao Zheng?

Do you know where I am from? "

Then, he cast a threatening look at the mountain people and said with disdain:
"Hmph, you idiots still want to fight against the government? You are simply looking for death. Are you just rogues trying to rebel?"

Zhang Bao slapped the opponent with a big label regardless, and even linked the opponent with a bandit.

"This……"

The mountain people showed frightened eyes, and everyone had a submissive expression.

Even though several people were injured, they were still the most angry and dared not speak out. The other party came from the capital!
Seeing that these mountain people were afraid of him, Zhang Bao said proudly:

"Master Hai, these people were injured by their own falls, so why are you trying to get in trouble with me?

Do you think so? "

Then, the smiling face turned into a fierce and threatening look, but Hai Rui didn't give Zhang Bao a chance and stepped directly in front of him, then said in a deep voice:

"Come here, take Zhang Bao into custody first!"

"Hai Rui, Hai Rui, my uncle Tian is the Minister of War, Zhang Hao, can you give me some face?"

Zhang Bao's brother Zhang Kui seemed to be subduing, but in fact he was using a threatening tone to bully the small seventh-grade county magistrate in front of him.

Zhang Bao seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said quickly:
"Hai Rui, the water here is too deep. How dare you, a shitty county magistrate like you, dare to get involved in it?"

The hope that those mountain people had just surged up was suddenly extinguished, and everyone's eyes dimmed.

Yes, they are just some low-ranking people, and the big shots in their eyes are only seventh-grade county magistrates. How can they compare with the second-grade officials of other people's courts?

That's the Minister of the Ministry of War!
Seeing this scene, Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng couldn't help but throw down his brush and said angrily:

"What a dog fighting for his strength!"

Emperor Taizong Li Shimin also clenched his fists, looked at the sky coldly, and then said to his ministers:

"You'd better take care of your nephew and don't cause trouble for yourself!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh:
"Don't do good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil because they are small. These two people are really hateful!"

The indignant Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily,

"Kill, there is a nest of snakes and rats. I wish I could skin them and feed them with grass. The Minister of War who deserves to be killed actually allows his nephew to bully the people. There are too many damn officials like this in the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Biao whispered: "Father, we haven't found out the results yet. Maybe these two people acted wantonly in private, acting under the banner of Shu Lun?"

As soon as Zhu Biao finished speaking, something suddenly changed above the sky:

Hai Rui was a straight minister, not a reckless and ignorant person. When it came to the children of officials in the capital, he was very careful and carefully checked with the local people to confirm that he had indeed not wronged them.

"Report, there is a letter from Zhang Hao, Minister of the Ministry of War!"

"Bring the letter quickly!"

Hai Rui's superior arrived after hearing the news. Governor Wu Baipeng wiped the sweat from his forehead, quickly read Zhang Shangshu's letter, and finally conveyed all the other party's meaning to Hai Rui.

"How about reducing big things to small things and turning small things into small things?"

Hai Rui angrily said:
"The key to being an official lies in the "heart to convince others", not the "words to convince others".
Zhang Hao used power to suppress the law, and he was actually a great thief of the country. He despised the emperor, but he was not loyal to the emperor!
Those who have officials and guardians must not conspire with the common people. The law can be implemented by the common people, but cannot be implemented by rural officials and should be eradicated.

The prince is as guilty as the common people when he breaks the law, let alone Zhang Bao and Zhang Kui? "

In the end, Wu Baipeng and others could not argue and had to deal with Zhang Kui according to law.

Governor Wu took a complicated look at his subordinate, with mixed feelings in his heart. This man was really a double-edged sword, capable of hurting not only the enemy but also himself!
Alas, let's transfer him away after completing his political achievements, I can only sigh in my heart.

……

Faced with the hints from his boss and the advice from his colleagues, Hai Rui still went his own way!
He attached great importance to farming and mulberry farming, and once wrote an "Essay on Encouraging Farmers", advising on teaching farming and mulberry farming, distributing rice seeds to farmers, and vigorously building water conservancy projects to reduce losses caused by floods and droughts.

In Huilong (now Huilong Village, Chenggang Township, Xingguo County), seventy miles away from the county seat,

He ordered people to dig a water pit, which could irrigate more than a thousand acres of stone fields. Later generations called it "Haigong Pi".

He also inherited the unfinished business of Lu Ning, the former county magistrate, and built a dam two miles south of the county seat. He also mobilized the masses to plant thousands of pine trees on the dam to protect the water mouth and greatly reduce the disaster of floods.

"Hai Gong goes out to slaughter for the sake of the people, and teaches the people to plant pines and make waves."

To commemorate Hai Rui's achievements, the people called it "Haisongba".

When Hai Rui was a local official, the word reform was used throughout. People without the ability to govern would
How do you manage to get promoted normally despite offending people everywhere, and still get good assessment results?
Finally, a row of big characters appeared on the sky!
[Hai Rui was promoted to a Beijing official due to his meritorious service. In the 45th year of Jiaqing, he carried the coffin to the throne and was imprisoned by Emperor Jiajing! 】

???

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng was shocked!

Liu Bei was also shocked!

Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang were both shocked. Just as they were looking at Zhengshuang, the scene came to an abrupt end!

Shouldn't Hai Rui reach the pinnacle of life?

Looking at so many introductions on the screen, this person has made so many achievements. He is not only an upright official, but also a capable minister. How could such a person be imprisoned by the emperor?

Zhu Biao said depressedly:
"Fourth child, are your descendants really incompetent? What are they?"

Our Highness, the Crown Prince, naturally places the blame on the Emperor, although this is also true.

Zhu Di said depressedly:
"Brother, you know me well. Look, my sons and grandsons are all fine. I will never educate such descendants in my lifetime. This...it's all my fault that these descendants are not living up to expectations!"

Zhu Yuanzhang covered his forehead in pain and said with shame:
"Yu Qian, the mainstay who turned the tide and won the battle to defend the capital for the Ming Dynasty, is going to be killed.
In order to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng, the great master of the Ming Dynasty, got involved with his own life and became an enemy of the world. As a result, he ended up with a miserable fate after his death, and his relatives were not protected!
My favorite minister, Hai Rui, has a clean and clear administration, outstanding achievements, loves the people, and is not afraid of the powerful!
But such a good man and good minister was thrown into prison by that dim-witted emperor. My heart aches! "

"Ugh……"
