A mysterious year

Zhang Juzheng was dead, but his life seemed to have not changed much, especially for Wanli.

He was just twenty years old and was full of confidence. Although he did not like Zhang Juzheng, he inherited the ambition of this teacher. Since he took office, he has been working hard day and night. He seemed to have to prove with his actions and with his own efforts,

It can also govern this country well, at least better than that person.

So since the 11th year of Wanli (1583), he showed amazing physical strength and energy, and he handled government affairs for more than ten hours a day. He often summoned ministers in the middle of the night. And today's affairs will definitely not be handled today.

Passive slacking off.

This is not an exaggeration. In fact, he has done something even more exaggerated.

In the 13th year of Wanli (1585), there was a severe drought in Beijing. There was no weather forecast that year and no artificial rainfall could be done. The only way was to seek rain.

Although this move may not be effective, it is better to do it than not. Generally speaking, the higher the level of the person seeking rain, the more pious the person, the greater the chance of seeking rain. Because people at that time believed that the Dragon King also had a level, and

When talking about interpersonal relationships, whether it rains down, how much, when it falls, and whether it will flatter or not, that is more critical.

And this time, Wanli planned to go by himself.

The place where he prayed for rain was in the Temple of Heaven in the southern suburbs.

It was not new to the emperor's prayer for rain, but this time it was very different because Wanli... was walking.

Let me explain the special thing about this matter. The place where the emperor lived was today's Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven - today's Temple of Heaven.

Those who have been to Beijing should know that these two places are quite far apart, specifically, they are at least five kilometers. Last month, I took the bus and walked for twenty minutes, while Wanli took bus No. 11.

Two legs.

Not only did they walk, but they also came back. Everyone present was impressed by his perseverance and was helpless by his persistence - the emperor left, and everyone had to follow him.

In addition to hiking exercises, Wanli is also very concerned about people's lives. For example, Shandong, Shanxi, Huguang and other places encountered famine at that time. The local officials reported that according to the examination method, we can't collect it anyway. Please help me.

To be more comfortable and reduce this year's mission.

A day later, they waited for the emperor's reply, an unexpected reply:

"Since that's the case, then you don't have to accept it, all of it will be exempted!"

This is Comrade Wanli's enlightenment. After Zhang Juzheng's death, he maintained his passionate fighting spirit and enthusiasm until the arrival of that mysterious year.

Life is long, but there are only a few steps at the key point. I believe many people have heard this sentence, but many people do not know it. In fact, the same is true in history.

In 756 AD, when the Tang Dynasty civilization was at its peak, a short and fat man named An Lushan suddenly rose up to cause trouble, opening the prelude to the Anshi Rebellion. The prosperous Tang Dynasty fell into decline from then on.

In 756 AD, this year became a turning point and was recorded in history.

Eight hundred years later, the turning point of fate came again, without reason or warning, and stayed in this mysterious year - the fifteenth year of Wanli (1587).

Simply put, in this year, three things happened, two small things, and one small thing.

The first big event: Qi Jiguang passed away.

For more than ten years, Qi Jiguang was a character that no one dared to mess with. Although occasionally a few censors who were not afraid of death impeached him to eat the empty amount and make money, cultivate personal power in the army, etc., there was no result.

The reason is that in addition to being too hard on the backstage, it is because the level is too high and the boundaries are not enough.

But the facts proved that his level was not as good as the backstage. After Zhang Juzheng's death, Qi Jiguang was transferred from Jizhou and went to Guangdong. Although his position had not changed, Qi Jiguang understood that his era was over.

So he claimed that he could not get out of illness, so soon after, he resigned and returned to his hometown in Dengzhou.

Thirty-six years ago, he set out from here to Beijing and began his magnificent life. He first fought the Mongolians and then the Japanese, trained troops in the southeast, swept the Japanese slaves, and drove out the barbarians. It was unstoppable, and his military achievements were prominent. Four

No one can beat him for ten years, and his reputation is so great that he will be shocked by the world four hundred years later, and all people know it.

It is really a solid job to be able to do this for the rest of your life.

In February of the 15th year of Wanli (1587), the legendary hero died of illness in his hometown at the age of 60. Before his death, he left a message as follows:

Over the past thirty years, there have been more than 100 battles between north and south, land and large, and never lost!

I know that he has no regrets in his life.

The second big thing: Hai Rui is dead.

Mr. Hai finally died. After being dismissed from office by Gao Gong, he returned to his hometown and no one cared about him. Three years later, Gao Gong stepped down and Zhang Juzheng was in power, but no one looked for him.

This is really not that Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng don’t know anything. On the contrary, they all know Mr. Hai’s strength very well. Helplessly, Mr. Hai’s energy is like a raging fire. After staying with him for a long time, he will not be burned to death. At least he is a disabled person.

.

Now that Zhang Juzheng is dead, in the words of a certain historian, all the people in the court are dead, so Mr. Hai Rui gets the opportunity to come out again.

In the 13th year of Wanli (1585), after Emperor Wanli's personal instructions, Hai Rui was appointed as the deputy censor of the Nanjing Censorate and rushed to Nanjing to take office. This year, Hai Rui was 72 years old.

Mr. Hai is the number one professional bureaucrat in Tianzi. After receiving the order, he immediately went to Nanjing without even packing up his things (of course, he didn't have much stuff).

When he came to the outskirts of Nanjing, he realized that entering the city was an extremely difficult thing - it was too crowded.

Mr. Hai is coming! Nanjing City is sensation, officials are excited, merchants are excited, and farmers are excited, so everyone has a collective vacation, not doing business or farming, and they run outside the city with a quilt in the early morning

Taking up a space, I want to grab a high position and see Mr. Hai's style.

Due to too many people, Mr. Hai was unable to enter the city and was firmly blocked outside. It was not until the Nanjing Ministry of War sent troops to open the way that Lord Hai was welcomed.

When Hai Rui entered the city and found the Censorate to live, he was told that he should not live here. It was not that he bullied him (who dared), but because he was promoted again.

Brother Wanli is really generous. It is not worth giving the Chief Censor (Fourth Century). He is still on the way, so he issued a second order to raise Mr. Hai a higher level and let him become the Nanjing Personnel Department.

Deputy Minister (Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel).

It is said that after the news was announced, the censors of the Nanjing Censorate were cheering and excited, while the officials of the Ministry of Personnel were depressed and felt even more uncomfortable than their dead father. But the facts proved that they were still a little pessimistic. In fact, at this time

Mr. Hai Rui had no time to deal with them at all.

Because he couldn't even go out of the house.

Since entering Nanjing, Hai Rui's home

He was surrounded by many famous fans, and his attitude was even more powerful than the Emperor's superstar.

What is even more surprising is that when there were no cars and trains, many people came from a distance. The most powerful one was a Fujian man. It is said that he had traveled thousands of miles and had worn more than ten pairs of them.

Shoes, I arrived in Nanjing for more than a month.

When Hai Rui heard about this, he was very moved and thought he wanted to seek justice, so he personally met him.

But after this man came in, he just looked at Hai Rui, bowed, and then left.

Someone asked: Why are you here? Why are you leaving again?

Answer: I just want to see Hai Qingtian. After reading it, what are you waiting for if you don’t leave?

This is the power of integrity and integrity.

In addition to attracting a large number of supporters, Hai Rui also received an honor, the honor of ancient people in front of them and no future generations.

The Chinese people have always been afraid of demons and monsters, so they have the habit of sticking door gods. Almost every family has a wide range of styles. However, the main characters of door gods are fixed, namely Guan Yu and Qin Shubao, who have been with them for thousands of years.

There are only a few. After all, it is too demanding to become an image spokesperson. Not only do you have to be able to fight, but you also have to have characteristics (I want to scare the ghost away, but you can't do without characteristics).

And now, Mr. Hai Rui finally joined this glorious team and became the last member of the Door Gods' Force (no organization since then). In Nanjing at that time, as a symbol of justice and justice, Mr. Hai Rui's portrait was covered with stickers as a symbol of justice and justice.

There are all streets, except for the door, living room and bedroom. It is said that once a glance every day, it can avoid all diseases and has a good effect of warding off evil spirits.

Although he is often busy with public propaganda, Mr. Hai Rui did not neglect his work. He did not have the energy to rectify the people in the Ministry of Personnel, but he was not idle. He still wrote a memorial to the emperor while taking the time to do so.

Based on past experience, Mr. Hai Rui's documents are generally shocking the world and the ghosts are sobbing, and this article is no exception. In the article, Mr. Hai Rui suggested that considering the serious current corruption situation, the period of Taizu (Zhu Yuanzhang) should be restored.

In the Criminal Law, those who embezzle more than 80 loyalty will be executed, and they will be skinned and placed at the county government office to warn future generations.

So everyone is really angry. If you can't afford to offend you, you can always hide. But Mr. Hai doesn't even have someone to hide, and he will never give up until he creates a jade or stone that will burn.

Objectively speaking, Hai Rui's document is indeed too much. Not to mention the problem of skinning, it has been more than two hundred years. The economy is developing so fast. When determining the standard of the death penalty, you have to consider inflation. I bought a building that year.

I can only buy some food today, and I have to peel off human skin for a few kilograms of food. Brother, you are too cruel.

But in Hai Rui's opinion, his approach was right, of course, this was just his personal idea.

Although Brother Wanli was young, he was also very clear-headed. He comforted Mr. Hai with kind words and threw the memorial into the pile of waste paper.

Mr. Hai was waiting for the day and night in Nanjing, but he did not wait for the skinning maker to appear, but he was ordered to be promoted. Due to his hard work, he was appointed as the right censor of the Nanjing Censorate. The person who was in his forties was still not yet

After more than 20 years of incredible experience, the director of the education department finally became a senior official at the second-rank (equivalent to the ministerial level).

This time, the guys from the Censorate are finished.

Nanjing is the second capital of the Ming Dynasty. From the Sixth Ministry to the Censorate, all the central institutions in Beijing have, but after all, the emperor lives in Beijing, so in addition to the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue (managing southern household registration) and the Nanjing Ministry of War (leading the Nanjing army.

) In addition, most institutions are decorations.

Generally speaking, only those who cannot survive in the court will be sent to Nanjing, which is called "superior care".

The Censorate is a idle department. Everyone has nothing to do, and those who curse people naturally have nothing to do. However, overnight, everything has changed - Mr. Hai took office.

Since there is nothing to do at work, no one goes to work. So the censors of the Censorate are always happy, shopping and watching operas - there is no future in work, so why don’t you be lazy?

Mr. Hai Rui's answer is no. He took out the method of managing students thirty years ago to deal with the censor - Record attendance. Anyone who dares to be late and leave early must go to the unit, and even if he has nothing to do, he must sit here.

Although everyone clearly expressed discomfort, Mr. Hai's threat was very clear - retirement is not the worst outcome, layoff is the only way to go.

As the rectification work deepened further, the censors discovered that everything had just begun and Mr. Hai quickly made new tricks.
