Chapter 716: Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement
On a hot day, in front of the Qiongzhou Hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The common people were sweating profusely and lined up, although the weather was hot, but their eyes were oozing hope.
These ordinary people have been wronged by other yamen, but here they are full of confidence in Hai Rui.
Seeing that the people admired Hai Rui like that, Chen Jichuan couldn't help but sigh: "Master, this Hai Rui really wins the hearts of the people, you see that the people treat him with a mouthful of Hai Qingtian." ”
Lin Yanchao looked at the door of the Qiongzhou Guild Hall, bustling with ordinary people lined up, but said: "The common people would rather believe in Hai Rui alone than the laws of the imperial court, this is not a blessing for the country." ”
Although Lin Yanchao came to deliver the decree, he sensed the holy will, and the Son of Heaven did not want this matter to be done with great fanfare.
So Lin Yanchao ordered Chen Jichuan to take the name card and hand it over, and first meet him as a private person.
Unexpectedly, Hai Rui, who was standing at the door of the hall, said: "This lord can't help it, our lord is a selfless guest, even if you are an official, you can't see it first." ”
Chen Jichuan said angrily: "Do you know who our master is? ”
The man said: "A few days ago, a political envoy came, and my lord is the same, if you want to see our lord, if you want to see our lord, you should line up with the people!" ”
"Our lord is here to announce ......"
Lin Yanchao waved his hand to stop Chen Jichuan's words and said, "It's okay, let's line up with the people." ”
Lin Yanchao waited for a full hour before being allowed in.
Lin Yanchao came to a large courtyard.
But seeing Hai Rui set up the public case under a pergola, he was wearing a linen shirt with a few patches, a stack of lawsuits was piled up next to him, and there was a subordinate who fanned him on the side.
Despite this, Hai Rui was still sweating on his forehead, and there were more than a dozen ordinary people waiting to complain on the side.
"What grievances do you have?" Hai Rui said without raising his head.
Lin Yanchao didn't answer any further, but saw Hai Rui writing on a piece of paper with a pen, to the effect that he asked a certain yamen to come forward and review the matter for the people.
Hai Rui seemed to notice someone approaching, raised his head and said, "Why don't you answer...... Isn't this Lin Zhongyun? ”
Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Seeing that the seniors are busy, I don't dare to disturb." ”
Hai Rui glanced at Lin Yanchao, and said without raising his head: "This is old and inconsiderate, tired Lin Zhongyun and these ordinary people are waiting here, which really makes the old man unhappy." ”
Hai Rui said that he didn't want to go, but there was no sense of not going away in his tone, which deliberately added to people's blockage.
Lin Yanchao was so angry that his teeth hurt, but he had a request for help here, so he could only accompany him with a smile and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay for the juniors to wait." ”
Hai Rui's pen kept writing, and he said while writing: "Lao Yu and Lin Zhongyun have no personal relationship, as for official affairs, they should also go to the court to talk, you see that Lao Yu has a lot of things here, so many people are waiting, what is Lin Zhongyun doing here?" ”
This is really too much, Lin Yanchao wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and asked, "Dare to ask the seniors, then are these ordinary people asking to see each other for official or private matters?" ”
Hai Rui stopped his pen, glanced at Lin Yanchao and said: "It is a private matter for the common people to come here, but for me Hai Rui, it is a public matter, and you can't talk the same thing as Lin Zhongyun." ”
Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Oh, that junior is also here to have both official and private affairs. ”
Hai Rui smiled and said, "Mo Fei Lin Zhongyun is also here to avenge his grievances?" You are a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and you will listen to heaven as soon as you say a word, I'm afraid that the old man has nothing to help you. ”
Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "I don't need the help of Senior Hai, I am here to announce the decree to Senior Hai on behalf of Your Majesty." ”
Hearing this, Hai Rui couldn't help but change his color and said, "Your Majesty's will? Why don't you say ...... in the morning?"
Lin Yanchao pointed to the people on the side and said, "Aren't there so many people?" The will of the people is the will of the people, and the will of His Majesty is the will of the people, and the will of the people cannot be confined to the will of the people. ”
Hearing this, Hai Rui couldn't help but change his opinion of Lin Yanchao, nodded and pinched his beard and said: "Mencius has clouds, the people are noble and the monarch is light, this is the most reasonable thing in the world, please ask the envoy to announce it." ”
Seeing Lin Yanchao holding out the holy decree, Hai Rui was a little excited, and after bowing, he said in a trembling voice: "Hai Rui, the grass people, bow to ask for Sheng'an!" ”
Hai Rui's subordinates on the side, as well as the common people, didn't know what was going on, but when they saw Lin Yanchao take out the holy decree, they hurriedly bowed to the ground.
After Lin Yanchao's eyes swept over everyone, he replied solemnly: "Holy bow." ”
So Lin Yanchao read the decree, and the holy decree pointed to Hai Rui's life achievements, counting his achievements in Chun'an Zhi County, the head of the household department, and the governor of Yingtian, praising him for not being afraid of being strong, practicing Qingzhang, being upright and unyielding, and Lin Yanchao's wonderful pen is full of flowers, which makes people feel relieved to read.
Lin Yanchao looked around while reading, Hai Rui lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly, but the people on the side couldn't stop crying, and the two Hai Rui's subordinates were even more tearful.
…… With a loyal and bright heart, the festival of hugging the bones, the people of the world believe in the king, and I believe in the people of the world......
After reading all the holy decrees, Hai Rui was speechless, and bowed to the north in a half-loud voice: "Your Majesty has a lot of trust in the minister, and the minister can only repay him with nine deaths." ”
The common people on the side bowed to the north and said: "Your Majesty, Shengming, you are really discerning, Hai Qingtian is really such a good official!" ”
When Lin Yanchao saw Hai Rui, the people were so moved by this holy decree that they couldn't help but complain from the bottom of their hearts, when did the emperor personally write the holy decree, obviously it was all done by Hanlin. But the common people just believe that the emperor knows everything, and this edict is naturally written by his old man himself, and the words of praise in the holy decree are the words of the Son of Heaven.
If the people knew that Lin Yanchao said this, I am afraid that they would have another expression.
Lin Yanchao helped Hai Rui up and said: "Your Majesty's decree of praise is because the seniors can speak outright, and the corruption of the officials that the seniors said in the music is to the point. His Majesty sighed when he read it, and praised the loyalty of his predecessors in front of us, and hated that although the matter of the rule of officials was a bad disease of the imperial court, it could not be driven away for a while, so His Majesty asked the younger generation to come here to tell the senior Hai that he felt guilty in his heart. ”
Hai Rui also said with a deep sense of righteousness at this time: "Your Majesty's embarrassment, the grass people know, it is true that the rule of officials is a malpractice, and it is not an overnight thing to get rid of this malpractice, and the old decay is too eager." I beg your Majesty not to do this, for it would be a great crime to be so wicked. ”
What does it mean to wear thousands of clothes, but not to wear sycophants.
It seems that Hai Rui still eats this set, just to see who shoots him on the ass. In the name of this Lin Yanchao's fake Son of Heaven, what he presented to Hai Rui was extraordinary.
The 'onlookers who don't know the truth' on the side also said: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty also has Your Majesty's difficulties, and there are so many traitors in the Manchu Dynasty who can't kill them for a while." But as long as His Majesty can use ministers like Hai Qingtian, he will definitely drive the traitorous ministers out of the court in the future. ”
Seeing this, Hai Rui said to the people: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Hai has thanked the villagers for their praise." ”
All the people said together: "Hai Qingtian, this is what you deserve." ”
Lin Yanchao came to announce the decree to Hai Rui, and the people did not dare to stay any longer, so they left one after another.
Seeing everyone leaving, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh: "Seniors, you see that our people are so simple, and in their eyes, there are only clean officials and corrupt officials. Your Majesty is forever holy, and they have been wronged, but they have only been deceived by traitors for a while. As long as Your Majesty understands that the pro-virtuous ministers are far from the villains, then they will be given back a bright future. ”
Hai Rui groaned: "Lin Zhongyun's words seem to have something in his words. ”
Lin Yanchao said: "Don't dare to make a fool of yourself in front of your predecessors, it's just 'a pro-virtuous minister, far from a villain', isn't it innovating the rule of officials?" But if you look at which one of the courtiers is a virtuous minister and which one is a villain, you and I don't count, and Your Majesty may not be able to see it. ”
"Another sentence of heart-wrenching, there are few sages in the court, and there are many villains. There are many villains, and it is not that our officials are bad, but it is really because of the corrupt atmosphere of officialdom, which forces everyone to be like this. ”
Hai Rui asked: "Lin Zhongyun opposes the rectification of the rule of officials first, so where do you think you should start?" ”
Lin Yanchao said: "It is necessary to rectify the rule of officials, but it is not the most urgent, at least as far as the younger generation knows, there are two things that are as important as the rule of officials. ”
Hai Rui reprimanded: "Isn't one of the two things, let's do it for the sake of righteousness." ”
Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Of course not, in the past, when Zhang Jiangling was a minister, he spoke to His Majesty, and the lower officials were fortunate to hear it." Zhang Jiangling said that there are three disadvantages of my Ming Dynasty, one is a clan, two are governed by officials, and three are troubled. Any one of them can kill me. ”
Hai Rui listened to it and said: "Yes, what Zhang Jiangling said is not false at all. ”
Lin Yanchao sighed: "Zhang Jiangling's new policy, that is, to suppress the giant room, to reassure the people, but to look at it as a student, but to delay my Ming Dynasty for decades, it will not be able to cure the fundamentals." ”
Hai Rui laughed when he heard this: "The future life really doesn't know the height of the sky, and it can extend the country for decades, even if it is a saint, it can't be done." Although I am not on good terms with Zhang Jiangling, I cannot deny his merits. Do you Lin Zhongyun think that with your own words, you will be able to save the sky? ”
Lin Yanchao laughed twice and said: "Trying to save the sky, of course you can't, but for the Optimus Pillar, it's still possible." ”
Hai Rui looked Lin Yanchao up and down and said, "That old decay is going to be heard in detail." ”
Lin Yanchao said: "Whether it is Zhang Jiangling or Hai's predecessors, the root of his life in politics is to suppress the powerful and powerful rooms to solve the people's difficulties, right?" ”
"Yes, yes."
Lin Yanchao said: "It's a pity, the world is like Jiangling, how many officials can there be in the predecessors?" Relying on the righteousness of Confucius and Mencius, can the officials' conscience be corrected, and they can help the people? ”
"Of course not," Hai Rui said, "In addition to the officials, there are also saints, and this world is the world of saints." As long as the Holy Monarch is in power, officials will not dare to come nonsense, which is upright, and the injustice of the world is also corrected. ”
Lin Yanchao shook his head and said: "Seniors, for thousands of years, the common people have been looking forward to the Holy Monarch and the Qing officials day and night, but why can't they escape the cycle of chaos for thousands of years? ”
"If there is no holy king in the court, can we only act on the conscience of the officials? Jiangling, the predecessors are strong and strong, and saving the people is just to solve the temporary difficulty, just like giving people fish, not giving people fish. ”
"The younger generation thinks that the world is not from the top, but from the bottom. Yi Youyun, Tianxingjian, the gentleman is self-improving, only those who help themselves, Fang Tian helps, Fang people help them, set up a righteous school, open the wisdom of the people, and the new people are self-improvement is the way to teach fishing, and it is also the fundamental way. ”
