Chapter 1837 Your Majesty made a mistake, all ministers mistakenly obeyed

These words undoubtedly slapped Xu Jie in the face. The meaning of the words was: Yan Song was dismissed as prime minister, Yan Shifan subdued the law, and the world was called clear and bright for a while. However, after Yan Song was dismissed as prime minister, he was still the same as before he became prime minister, and the world was not very clear.

Emperor Wen of Han was too far away from the time zone.

When the world praised Xu Jie, in fact, there was no Qingming in this world. It has been nearly four years since Xu Jie replaced Yan Song. However, corruption in the officialdom has not been improved, local miscellaneous taxes have not been curbed, and projects such as the Chengtian Palace have not been improved.

Construction has been going on, but the people are still living in a difficult era.

Of course, Hai Rui's main target now is Jiajing, accusing the world under Jiajing's rule that it has not yet reached the stage of Qingming, and is far worse than the period of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty.

Chen Hong secretly swallowed his foam and continued to recite: "The people of the world have not been loyal to your Majesty for a long time. The ministers and workers inside and outside know this. In ancient times, the kings had their faults, and they relied on the ministers and workers to polish the wooden ropes and gold.

There is no need for sages to say anything;

They built a house and built a memorial ceremony, offered incense to the Prime Minister, and offered them peaches and natural medicine. They congratulated each other. They built palaces and palaces, and the Ministry of Works tried their best to manage them. They fetched incense and treasures, and the Ministry of Household Affairs sent out requests for help. Your Majesty made a mistake, and all the ministers made a mistake in obeying.

One person can speak the truth for His Majesty."

If the previous part was just a summary, then the next step is to get real.

Hai Rui came to the conclusion that "His Majesty made a mistake, and the ministers made a mistake" through the current situation of "building and building palaces, the Ministry of Industry worked hard to manage them; fetching incense and finding treasures, and the Ministry of Households sending out orders".

This was like the finishing touch. After realizing that Jiajing was now a quasi-tyrant, the officials below spared no effort to carry out the construction, whether it was building the Chengtian Palace or spending a lot of money to purchase ambergris and treasures.

In particular, this "ministers mistakenly obeyed" can be said to expose the current state of the court.

King Yu should establish a prince and confer a new queen, but all the officials below pretended not to see it. As for "today's tax and service increase, everything will be effective", the officials also turned a blind eye, but no one dissuaded them.

Jiajing, thus "It has been a long time since the people of the world have been loyal to Your Majesty".

Both Huang Jin and Feng Bao had read the book "Public Security". After listening to these deviant words that pointed out the current ills, they looked at Jiajing with complicated eyes.

Didn't they know that it was wrong for the emperor to hide in Xiyuan and neglect state affairs, but when they saw the eunuchs and maids who were repeatedly killed with a stick? They also kept all their thoughts deep in their hearts, obeying and pleasing the emperor in everything.

Sandalwood curls up, filling the whole room with its fragrance.

Jiajing, who was lying on the dragon bed, had slowly closed his eyes. He waved his hand to Huang Jin, who was helping him relax, and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Your Majesty made a mistake? All ministers made a mistake" and "No one can speak out for Your Majesty" still got into his ears? These two sentences were already the truth, awakening something deep in his heart.

It's not that Hai Rui woke him up, but that "all ministers obeyed", which was the result he always wanted.

Did he inherit the larger sect from a small sect? He did not receive systematic royal education in Prince Xian's Mansion. But after he became the emperor? He also participated in the imperial banquets one after another and slowly realized the responsibility of being an emperor.

However, this responsibility is already in conflict with his willfulness. With him wanting to rectify the name of the King Xian lineage, he is not allowed to use the world's wealth to build the Chengtian Palace, nor is he allowed to build an imperial mausoleum for his parents who do not meet their status.

.

Was it just God who favored him? He quickly secured the throne with his youthful stubbornness and willfulness, and confirmed his supreme authority through the murder of Zuo Shuntian.

During the Great Etiquette Controversy, he cultivated Zhang Cong and other officials who were loyal to him, and by firmly holding the power of personnel appointments, he cultivated a group of important ministers who all obeyed his orders.

The same thing happened. All the important ministers tried their best to please him. For example, Yan Song and Xu Jie stayed in Xiyuan all the time to accompany him. For several generations, no one among the chief ministers would disagree with him.

But this long-standing "tacit understanding" was exposed by the little head of the Yunnan Department of the Ministry of Revenue, who even accused him of the emperor's fault.

As a son of man, he is undoubtedly filial; but as a king, he does not seem to be so conscientious.

Chen Hong raised his head and glanced at Jiajing, then continued to read, and finally read: "My husband is not upright, and my ministers' duties are unclear. This is the first thing in the world. If I don't say anything about this, what more can I say? Minister Chi Lu

On the outside, you are flattering, and the subordinates are afraid of sin but are obedient. Your Majesty, if you don't know about it, you will change your behavior.

, I hate you every time. I am loyal to you even if I am ignorant, and I am saying this for your majesty. A change of mood can change the direction, and whether the world is governed or not, and the people's peace or unrest are determined. Your majesty, Fu Wei, pay attention to it. Zongshe

I am so lucky, and the world is so lucky. I am extremely trembling with fear, so I am personally responsible for this, so I would like to report it to you."

The meaning of the words is: The emperor's evil ways and the unclear duties of the ministers are the most important thing in the world. If I don't say this, what more can I say? The ministers flatter themselves to protect their black hats, the junior ministers are afraid of being punished and appear obedient, but the majesty makes mistakes but does not

I know that it cannot be corrected or implemented. Every time I think about this, I feel heartbroken.

.So today I will risk my life to be loyal and sincerely advise your majesty. I hope your majesty can change your mind and change direction. The governance of the world and the peace and unrest of the people all depend on you. If your majesty can really accept it, it will be my ancestral temple.

The luck of the country and the country is the happiness of the people all over the world.

Hai Rui's "Public Security Shu" is famous not because of how wonderful his writing is, nor how deep his political views are, but because of the way in which "all ministers misunderstood" and "no one can speak out for His Majesty."

"In the court, he dared to risk his life to expose everything.

He bluntly pointed out the emperor's plans to build and build palaces; he also pointed out the emperor's search for incense and treasures everywhere; the people's taxes and servitude increased, and he also wrote straightly; even "the ministers kept their salaries and went out to flatter them",

He was not afraid of offending all the high-ranking officials in the court and spoke out.

Of course, the most eye-catching sentence is: "The Jiajing people have a clean family and no money."

What the world sees is excitement, but this is Hai Rui’s cry for the people all over the world.

This memorial not only offended Jiajing, but also offended all the high-ranking officials of the imperial court. It opened up the fig leaf that covered the Jiajing prosperous era in the mouths of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty. It can be said to be an act of seeking death.

Officials from the Xu Party, Wu Lin Party, Jin Party and Zhejiang Party would not do this, but in the southernmost territory of the Ming Dynasty, Hai Qingtian, who dared to speak out about world affairs, resolutely emerged.

When Chen Hongnian came here, he also stopped and looked at Jiajing.

Huang Jin and Feng Bao also looked at Jiajing silently. Although they knew that Jiajing was rebellious, they also felt a little sorry for this minister who dared to speak out.

Jiajing suddenly slowly opened his eyes, and after a long time he sighed and said: "This man can be compared with Bigan, but I am not King Zhou of Shang!"

this……

When hearing this, Huang Jin and Chen Hong secretly exchanged glances.

But he didn't know whether it was the emperor's sudden enlightenment or the content behind Hai Rui that saved him. The emperor no longer wanted to crush Hai Rui to ashes as before, but listened to some words in this memorial. Then

Hai Rui, director of the Yunnan Department of the Ministry of Revenue, who had prepared a coffin, seemed to have found a glimmer of hope.
