The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Many people can't tell the difference between Hai Rui and the Donglin Party, and they all regard them as the same kind of people. In fact, they are completely wrong.

In addition to the difference between "selfless" and "flaunting to be selfless", there is another biggest difference.

Hai Rui is a person who works hard, is willing to do things and can get things done. In terms of administrative philosophy, he still needs to be economical and practical.

The Donglin Party's administrative philosophy and moral philosophy are basically the same, with only four words - political enlightenment.

As long as the righteous people are brought in, evildoers are eliminated, and there are virtuous people in the court, the world will naturally be in good order.

Reflecting now, Gu Xiancheng wanted too much, but couldn't keep up with Lin Daguan's rhythm, which led to such a twisted situation.

It is wrong to admit that there is a relationship, it is also wrong not to admit that there is a relationship, and it is still wrong to keep silent.

In the end, Gu Xiancheng could only say to Hai Rui: "Could it be that Dazhong Cheng really can't see that Lin Tailai is deliberately targeting Wuxi scholars?"

Lin Tailai responded: "If everyone thinks like Mr. Gu, then the errand will be impossible to do!

After catching the illegal scholars in Wuxi County, I said that I was targeting Wuxi County.

Then please tell me, Mr. Gu, which county should I arrest so that I can avoid being said to be deliberately targeted? "

Gu Xiancheng had nothing to say anymore. This time he really stole the chicken but lost the rice. Ever since Fang Huan was entrusted to trap Lin Sheng, everything seemed to be out of control.

After a moment of silence, Gu Xiancheng said helplessly to Hai Rui: "I teach in a righteous way, but I am unable to do so. The scholars who have violated the ban in Wuxi County are allowed to be punished by Dazhong Cheng. I have nothing to say."

Being able to say such words is tantamount to admitting defeat, otherwise you will lose even your last grace.

Hai Rui looked at Lin Tailai with a normal expression, and suddenly asked very heart-wrenchingly, "Is this all your setup?"

Lin Tailai replied very simply: "The boss's guess is good, it is indeed!"

Hai Rui was stunned again and couldn't answer the question for a while.

He saw that these things were all set up by Lin Tailai, but he did not expect that Lin Tailai would admit so readily that it was a set up to deceive people.

Can't you just quibble and deny a few words so that others can use the topic to their advantage?

Lin Tailai argued: "I did not fabricate facts out of thin air to frame him, nor did I force or deceive others to do things.

Moreover, the trap is only aimed at selfish desires. If people have no selfish desires, how can the trap be effective?

Therefore, those who are cheated should blame themselves for not being able to restrain their selfish desires, rather than blaming the subordinates for setting up a trap. "

Hai Rui added, "Do you think this method of setting up a situation is good or evil?"

Lin Tailai asked: "The Ming Dynasty's laws may punish bad people, or they may wrongly accuse good people. Is it good or evil?

The laws and regulations are clearly there, but there are still people in the world who continue to break laws and prohibitions.

Could it be said that because laws and regulations cannot prevent violations of laws and prohibitions, they are no longer needed?

In the same way, if someone falls into the trap because of their own selfish desires, what is the necessary connection with the good and evil of the means of setting up the trap?

Could it be that if I don’t set up a trap, there would be no selfish desires in the world, or would selfish desires not be wrong? "

Hai Rui snorted coldly: "They are all sophistry!"

Then he announced the verdict: "Last night all the scholars were demoted to the sixth grade and issued to Tsing Yi. Their qualifications for the provincial examination were cancelled. They must return to the county to study for one year and then take the assessment! Notify and appoint the academic officer for execution and supervision!"

The design of the Ming Dynasty's school system was not simple. After becoming a scholar, everything was not fine.

Even if students enter school, they must take a grade examination every year and are divided into grades one to six according to their merits.

The first and second classes are promoted to junior students and qualify for the provincial examination; the third and fourth classes remain as they are without rewards and punishments, while the fifth and sixth classes are punished.

The most common among them is the sixth grade. As long as they are sentenced to the sixth grade, they will be temporarily stripped of their clothes, given the title of "green robe", and will be detained in school for one year.

After one year, you will be tested again. If you pass the test, you will be able to regain your clothes.

If that doesn't work then remove them completely from the school, but that's very rare.

Therefore, Hai Rui's punishment was quite severe for the erring scholar, but it also gave the erring scholar a chance to correct his mistakes.

It’s just that I can’t participate in the provincial examination this year, so my trip to Nanjing this time is in vain.

Lin Tailai reminded Hai Rui again: "Except for An Xifan, the other scholars refused to give their names last night, and then they all ran away. We still don't know who they are."

Hai Rui said to An Xifan, "List the names of the others!"

However, An Xifan still stubbornly said: "Wansheng can just accept his guilt and accept the punishment, but betraying his comrades is not what Wansheng wants to do!"

Coupled with the look of his hands tied and his head held high, An Xiucai's demeanor at this moment really looks a bit stingy.

Even you, Hai Qingtian, can't force people to make the choice to betray their friends, right?

Lin Tailai immediately answered: "It doesn't matter if An Xifan doesn't say anything, we can call all the Wuxi scholars based on the roster!

Then I sent the law enforcement sergeant from last night to look at them and identify them one by one.

Or during the inspection on the day of the rural examination, send the law enforcement sergeant to stand at the gate of Gongyuan to identify the person last night, and you can always find the person!

If any innocent scholar is affected and disturbed, tell him that it is all the fault of An Xifan and Mr. Gu!

In order to protect a handful of comrades, their teachers and students would rather drag down all Wuxi scholars! "

An Xifan was immediately furious, his heart and lungs were about to burst, and he yelled: "Lin Thief! Just be a human being! I will fight with you!"

Gu Xiancheng shouted: "Pay attention to your dignity! Since you have been caught and controlled by others, then admit it!"

Lin Tailai couldn't help but interjected: "I don't understand why you seem to be the victim?

It was obviously you, Mr. Gu, who first found Fang Tixue to frame me, but now, why do you only feel that you are the innocent victims? "

Finally, even Hai Qingtian couldn't stand it anymore and waved to the clerk on duty: "Take An Sheng down so that he can ask questions!"

Hai Qingtian sympathized with the weak, but he still couldn't bear to see the young man being tortured repeatedly by younger young men.

Bi Qiang, who had been unable to say anything for a long time, quickly said, "Now that the matter has come to an end, what happened last night can be considered over."

Seeing that Bi Laotianguan was already over seventy, Lin Tailai wouldn't try to bully him.

The matter is not over yet, how can we say it can be revealed?

After you have achieved results at work, what is the most important thing? Of course it's publicity. Without publicity, who knows what you've done?

After that, Bi Qiang was heard continuing to say to Hai Rui: "I came here today to inquire about another matter.

I recommended Gu Jingyang’s article to you the day before yesterday. What do you think? "

Hai Rui nodded in approval and said, "This is an honest work, and the writing is like that of a gentleman."

Gu Xiancheng finally heard the good news and said humbly: "That's great."

The preface to the collection of poems published by Hai Rui seems to be very promising, and it would not be a bad idea to follow Hai Rui to gain fame.

Until now, Gu Xiancheng still subconsciously believed that the poetry collection printed by Hai Rui was written by Hai Rui himself.

Moreover, the content of the "Fourteen Sufferings" is very similar to Hai Rui's compassion for the lower class.

Next to him, Lin Tailai was confused. Why would Gu Xiancheng write to Hai Rui?

Under normal circumstances, it is the disgraced scholar who submits articles to big bosses seeking a way out. You, Gu Xiancheng, are already a Jinshi and hold an important position in the civil service, so why should you submit articles to Hai Rui?

At this time, the disciple came to report: "Wang Shaosikou from the Criminal Department is visiting."

Gu Xiancheng cursed a few times in his mind. Today was a bad day and a lot of trouble. Just as he was about to get to another key point, he was interrupted. He was the second most hated trash in the literary and art circles!

He used to be the most hated, but now this number one has changed hands!

Lin Tailai was still puzzled. Wang Shao Sikou of the Criminal Department must be Wang Shizhen. How could he find Hai Rui, whom he had no connections with?

Hai Rui had a habit that I don't know whether it was good or bad. During official business hours, all reception and treatment was done in the courtroom.

So after a new seat was set up in the court, Wang Shizhen was also invited to take a seat in the court.

When Wang Shizhen entered Hai Rui's Court today, she was also surprised to meet Lin Tailai at close range.

Gu Xiancheng was a little transparent in the eyes of the old alliance leader Wang. As for Gu Xiancheng's dissatisfied look, Wang Shizhen ignored him.

Therefore, Wang Shizhen only had Lin Tailai in his eyes, and said to Hai Rui: "Today I am meeting and chatting with all the gentlemen, but this little man who has no fame or fame can avoid it, right?"

Hai Rui: "."

How hateful is Lin Tailai's face? The Qingliu forces want to get rid of you, and the retro sect, the largest sect in the literary world, also hates you. Is it possible that you really only plan to enter Taoism through martial arts?

He waved his hand, signaling Lin Tailai to step back, and Lin Tailai could only leave the courtroom angrily.

The old alliance leader Wang was relieved a little, mainly because he wanted to ask Hai Rui to do something today and was afraid that Lin Tailai would cause trouble there.

Wang Shizhen, who was born in an aristocratic family and passed the imperial examination in his early twenties, and Hai Rui were from two different worlds and had rarely crossed paths in the past.

Moreover, Wang Shizhen cannot ask for help right away. She must first lay the foundation for the relationship before getting down to business.

Therefore, after Wang Shizhen and Hai Rui met, they could only chat awkwardly.

Wang Shizhen's main identity has never been an official position, but her position as the leader of the literary world, and her small talk revolves around the literary world and literature.

You can't drag Hai Rui into talking about improving morale and discipline, right? Wang Shizhen himself was the official who was absent from work the most in Nanjing.

"Our retro school has produced several handsome young men in recent years. Has Dazhong Cheng ever read their poems?" Wang Shizhen asked, picking up the topic.

Hai Rui thought of something, took out a stack of poetry manuscripts from the desk, and said to Wang Shizhen: "As for poetry, these were submitted to me by a junior, what do you think about it, young Sikou?"

Wang Shizhen took it and saw that the main title on the first page, which was regarded as the cover, was "Today's Yuefu".

He couldn't help but scream in his heart, what a loud voice! It should be said that anyone who sees this title will probably feel this way.

Then Wang Shizhen continued to scroll down, and the subtitle was "Fourteen Sufferings". Looking at the main text again, it was still the Fourteen Sufferings.

After skimming through it, Wang Shizhen, as an old leader in the literary world, commented: "The writing is simple, the language is vulgar, it lacks elegance, the emotions are not natural enough, it is too artificial, and the format is not regular."

In terms of aesthetic style, Leader Wang doesn't like this kind of poetry very much.

Hai Rui hadn't said anything yet, but Gu Xiancheng spoke first: "What Duke Yanzhou said is wrong. The ancients said that poetry expresses ambition, so the first thing to look at when reading a poem is the ambition in it.

These fourteen sufferings are full of concern for the country and the people. They are expressed from feelings and spoken freely, so they appear natural and vivid.

How can we make rash judgments just because we don’t use the allusion patterns of the old people or imitate the styles of the Han and Tang Dynasties?

I think it can be used in conjunction with daily lectures, and it will definitely have an educational effect.

If the collection of poems is published, I would like to collect a hundred copies, transport them back to Wuxi County School, and distribute them to scholars. "

Wang Shizhen looked at Gu Xiancheng in surprise, who are you? When did you become a figure in the literary world?

Is it possible that this collection of poems was written by your relative, so you are bragging here?

Hai Rui was also extremely surprised. Are you, Gu Xiancheng, schizophrenic? The front foot just had a big fight with Lin Tailai, and the back foot praised Lin Tailai's poems?

Hai Rui couldn't help but asked Gu Xiancheng again: "Are you sure?"

Gu Xiancheng said without hesitation: "Definitely. Although it is not as good as Bai Letian's New Yuefu, it is worthy of the name of Today's Yuefu."

Wang Shizhen lowered his head to drink tea, and immediately spit it out. "Not as good as Bai Juyi" was such a profound comment.

Hai Rui was finally sure that Gu Xiancheng might have misunderstood something.

Hai Qingtian was not a happy person and immediately reminded him: "Actually, you all don't know something. The author of this collection of poems is actually Suzhou Lin Tailai."

Gu Xiancheng: "."

I just heard Hai Rui say "This is the work of a junior" and thought that Hai Rui deliberately concealed the author's identity and wanted to get a fair evaluation from Wang Shizhen.

Who can imagine that this collection of poems was written by Lin Tailai!

Hai Rui and Hai Zhongcheng were so full that they printed poetry collections for others who were not relatives!

Could it be more disgusting to write a preface to Lin Tailai's collection of poems?

Gu Xiancheng sat on the chair without saying a word, falling into autistic state.

Old Alliance Leader Wang was used to being dissolute, and he couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh.

Deserve it! Let you dare to contradict the leaders of the literary world and praise poetry without following the rules!

After the old leader Wang finished laughing, Hai Rui said again: "Ignore the rhyme and just talk about the main theme of the poem. This institute believes that this book "Jin Yuefu" is the best work in recent years.

Our academy believes that this type of poetry should be promoted in the literary world and encourage literati to pay more attention to people's livelihood! "

Wang Shizhen was preparing to hold another literary conference, and was asking for help from Hai Rui, so when she heard Hai Rui's promotion suggestion, although she didn't explicitly refuse it, she just responded casually.

If you fool around a bit verbally, there will be no future!

Promotion is impossible. He will never be able to promote Lin Tailai's poetry in his life!

Hai Rui is a very pragmatic person in his work, and he made a more specific proposal:

"You came to Nanjing, presumably to take advantage of the gathering of scholars in Nanjing to reopen the literary conference, right?

I think we can start promoting this collection of poems at literary conferences. We can use this collection of poems as the theme at literary conferences and let the celebrities attending the conference comment on it.

I can sponsor one hundred poetry collections for you for dissemination and promotion. "

Wang Shizhen: "."

Damn it! Just now he was laughing at Gu Xiancheng, but now he was suddenly disgusted!

Just thinking about promoting Lin Tailai's poetry collection at a literary conference hosted by me, and guiding his disciples to make positive comments together, makes me feel physically uncomfortable!

"Is this not difficult?" Hai Rui asked again after he finished explaining his idea.

Wang Shizhen didn’t know how to answer, Hai Rui, do you want to use politics to interfere with literary creation?

He turned to look at Gu Xiancheng, and suddenly found that Gu Jun, who had the same problem, was also very handsome at this time.

Why can’t I get more monthly tickets? . . Have you not been writing well recently? . .
