The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Yan Song sneered: "Then what are you doing during this time? Investigate others? Make the capital go crazy? Have you dealt with the matter in the new city? How many things are waiting for you to deal with? How many people are worried about you?"

"..." Hai Rui stiffened his neck, wanting to refute Yan Song, but he didn't know how to refute.

"Let me tell you, during the more than ten days when you were away from the Xincheng government office, 10 construction sites were suspended, 103 complaints of corruption and violation of the law occurred, and more than 3000 people stopped working. Don't you know that the establishment of the new city means What? That is a major project that affects 70, [-] people, and the safety of the capital... And what about you? What are you doing to investigate, and you have forgotten all the important things here, do you think you are great now? Do you feel that the world is peaceful when some corrupt officials are uncovered?"

Yan Song's words hit Hai Rui's heart hard, making Hai Rui's face turn pale.

"Hai Gangfeng, I don't want to say anything superfluous, I just want to ask you, if you are not in charge of this new city project, if someone else manages it, can it do better than you?"

"This..." Hai Rui, Master Yan's words are quite reasonable, as if he really forgot about Xincheng... No, Hai Rui was almost persuaded by Yan Song, but he suddenly widened his eyes again. Eye.

"Master Yan, the lower officials are not convinced."

"Say!"

"Master Yan, is the person I'm investigating considered a heinous crime? Should I be executed? Is it just because I want to preside over the work of the new city that I turn a blind eye to these evil deeds and make an allowance for them? Is this reasonable?"

"Unreasonable." Yan Song said flatly: "I know this is unreasonable, but! Hai Gangfeng, maybe you only see black and white in your eyes, but in Yan Song's eyes, all you see is gray. There is no absolute black and white , I directly take what is most beneficial to me and the people, the construction of a new city is a major matter, and the investigation of officials is a minor matter, so what is wrong with taking large houses and giving up small things?"

Hai Rui clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth for a long time. Finally, he shook his head and said with a wry smile, "My lord, Hai Rui understands what you mean, but we don't agree with each other. Hai still wants to resign!"

Yan Song laughed sneeringly: "Hey, it's just for the sake of benevolence! Scholars of all ages have a problem, that is, they always want to be worthy of their conscience. Everyone has a paradise in their hearts. If they think it's a big deal, I will resign from office and go back to seclusion. I am not in the dirty world. It’s a roll. It’s a joke that the whole world is turbid and I’m alone. Yes, you resigned, and your name will last forever. It seems that you have come out of the mud and are not stained. You are worthy of your ancestors and worthy of the teachings of sages... But! "

"But...you are only thinking about your conscience, about being a famous person through the ages, but have you ever thought about the responsibility on your shoulders? Although my Ming Dynasty is rich, there is only one person in twenty who is lucky enough to study, and among these scholars Among them, there is no one in a million who can pass the exam, and there are very few who can guard one side and be a parent official? You are fine, I, Yan Song, have worked hard to promote you, and you just say it for your conscience , for the sake of sages, for the sake of benevolence and righteousness, pat your ass~gu left, apart from showing that you are outstanding, what good is it for the people?"

"Hai Gangfeng, famous minister or capable minister, which one do you choose? Don't you love the common people, but your own reputation? Is this what a true Confucian should do? Why is Duke Yangming respected by all the people? Because Princess Yangming, Zhang Zhixing and Zhang Zhixing are one, knowing it, seeing it is useless, but making it out, and benefiting the world, that is the real scholar, the real way to be an official..."

Hai Rui seemed to be struck by lightning, trembling all over~dou, cold sweat drenched his back......

Even Madam Hai who was at the side was dumbfounded.

Hai Rui was in a daze when Mrs. Hai kicked him angrily.

"Nizi, you~mother, although you have never read the book, but mother Yan thinks the truths that Mr. Yan said are very reasonable, so don't be fooled!"

In a trance, Hai Rui knelt on the ground, saluted, and then raised his head and burst into tears: "Master Yan's kind words, Hai Rui is ashamed~ Kui is hard to bear, ask yourself, Hai Rui is not as good as Sir, just like the sea. A savage like Rui, what use is there to stay in the officialdom, it will only ruin the business of the lord, why should the lord keep me!"

Yan Song was almost mad at 5.0.

What a top-quality stubborn donkey, at this time, he still wants to leave!

Mrs. Hai took the pole and directly pulled it over, roaring angrily: "Nizi, do you really care about your so-called reputation so much?"

Several poles were drawn in a row, but Hai Rui didn't dare to move, so he could only resist.

Yan Song was dumbfounded, this old lady is so powerful.

But this also made Yan Song respect the old lady even more.Hai Rui's success in history did not come from nothing. His mother's influence was very great.

Hai Rui struggled.

.

(Under the background of that era, Wang Mingyang's unity of knowledge and action can be said to be a guiding light)

Chapter 190 Tripping the Prince [2]

After Yan Song scolded Hai Rui, he sulked and left.

I don't know why, the next day, what Yan Song said to Hai Rui spread, and the people in the outer city praised it.

The common people, who originally had some objections to Hai Rui's resignation, finally found a backbone and gathered outside Hai Rui's house to persuade Hai Rui to go back and take charge of government affairs.

In fact, at this moment in the court, many people were eyeing Hai Rui's position, wanting to be the Chancellor of Shuntian Mansion, and then make money in the new city project.However, as the conversation between Yan Song and Hai Rui spread to the inner city, those officials broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did they realize that Yan Song paid more attention to the construction of the new city than they had imagined. Ge Lao directly chops his hands.

Those officials originally tried to manage the new city through their connections, but now they dare not. Instead, they want to eliminate the traces, so as not to be targeted by the big ~boss Yan Song.

On the third day, Hai Rui finally went to 'work' and returned to work in the Xincheng government office. When the news got out, the people in Xincheng were very happy and joyful.And those officials who have already extended their hands to embezzle are trembling, fearing that Hai Rui will come to them.

The new city has a backbone, and the atmosphere is one of the new.

However, those scholars in the inner city were all in mourning.

"Oh my god, this is not the Hai Rui we respect!"

"Hai Rui has let us down so much. How could he be so unprincipled? He's still working with a corrupt official like Yan Song. It's sad, sad!"

"In the end, this Hai Rui is nothing but a greedy and vain person, hey, disappointed, disappointed."

In teahouses, scholars shook their heads and sighed, disappointed that there was one honest person missing in the world.

……

Prince's Mansion.

"Haha, okay, okay, this Hai Rui has come out and continues to be an official, we can let him investigate those officials again."

The prince smiled happily.

Gao Gong shook his head: "Prince, I'm afraid things are not optimistic. Then Yan Song has already told him not to touch these corrupt officials, and he probably won't investigate any more."

Another lecturer, Gao Yi, said: "Lord Gao's words are wrong. I can go to Hai Rui to talk about it. I think he will continue to support the prince."

Gao Yi came to the Prince's Mansion relatively late, since the relationship with the Prince is not as close as Gao Gong~mi, and Gao Gong is arrogant, and his attitude towards Gao Yi and others is usually very rude, and Gao Yi and others will not shy away when they make mistakes He pointed out that Gao Yi has always had a flattering and jealous attitude towards Gao Gong.This is a good time to show off your abilities in front of the prince, so Gao Yi asked directly.

The prince still hadn't given up on Hai Rui, so he gave Gao Yi an appreciative look.

Gao Yi seemed to have received a great reward, and her whole soul flew away: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely be able to handle Hai Rui and become our vanguard officer!"
