In front of the Qiongzhou Guild Hall.

The people were queuing with sweat. Although the weather was hot, hope was seeping out of their eyes.

These ordinary people were wronged in other yamen, but they were full of confidence in Hai Rui here.

Seeing that the people admire Hai Rui so much, Chen Jichuan couldn't help but sigh: "Master, Hai Rui is really popular with the people. Look at the people who say hello to him."

Lin Yanchao looked at the bustling people in the queue at the entrance of the Qiongzhou Guild Hall, but said, "The people would rather trust Hai Rui than believe in the laws of the court. This is not a blessing for the country."

Although Lin Yanchao came to pass the imperial edict, he understood the holy intention and the emperor did not want this matter to be done with great fanfare.

So Lin Yanchao ordered Chen Jichuan to hand it over with a famous post and first met in his private capacity.

But the servant Hai Rui, who was standing at the entrance of the guild, said, "I'm sorry, our master is selfless, even if you are an official, you can't see you first."

Chen Jichuan said angrily: "Do you know who our master is?"

The man said, "A few days ago, a governor came. My master said the same thing. If you want to see our master, please line up with the people!"

"Our master is here to announce..."

Lin Yanchao waved his hand and stopped Chen Jichuan and said, "It's okay, let's line up with the people."

Lin Yanchao waited for a full hour before he was allowed to enter.

Lin Yanchao came to a large yard.

But seeing Hai Rui put the case under a pergola, he was wearing a shirt with patches, and a stack of lawsuits piled up next to him, and a servant was fanning him.

Despite this, Hai Rui's forehead was still full of sweat, and as for the other dozen ordinary people waiting to complain.

"What are your grievances?" Hai Rui said without raising his head.

Lin Yanchao did not answer any further, but saw Hai Rui picking up a pen and writing on a piece of paper, which meant that he would ask a certain yamen to come forward and investigate the matter again 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 smiled and said, "I dare not disturb you when I see seniors are busy."

Hai Rui glanced at Lin Yanchao, then at the desk, he said without raising his head: "This is a shame. Lin Zhongyun and these ordinary people are waiting here together, which really makes me feel sorry for you."

Hai Rui said he was sorry, but he did not feel sorry for him at all. This intention made people feel troubled.

Lin Yan Chao was so angry that his teeth were hurt, but he had something to ask for, so he could only smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I'll wait for a while."

Hai Rui kept writing and said while writing: "I have no selfish relationship with Lin Zhongyun. As for official business, I should go to the court to talk. You see, I still have a lot of things here. So many ordinary people are waiting. What is the matter with Lin Zhongyun?"

This was really too much. Lin Yanchao wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and asked, "Dare you ask seniors, are these ordinary people asking for a meeting for public affairs or private matters?"

Hai Rui stopped writing, looked at Lin Yanchao and said, "The people are coming here for themselves, but for me, Hai Rui, it is a business. You should not talk to Lin Zhongyun."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Oh, that younger generation has both official and private affairs."

Hai Rui laughed and said, "Is Lin Zhongyun also here to seek justice? You are a close minister of the emperor. You go to heaven and listen with one word. I am afraid I have nothing to help you."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "No need for the help of Senior Hai. I am here to announce the order to Senior Hai for Your Majesty."

Hai Rui couldn't help but change his sarcasm when he heard this: "Your Majesty's will? Why didn't you say it early..."

Lin Yanchao pointed to the people beside him and said, "Aren't so many people here? The people's intentions are the people's will, and Your Majesty's intentions are the holy intentions. The holy intentions cannot be subject to the people's will. Therefore, although the younger generation has an imperial edict, they must wait for Senior Hai to finish the lawsuit."

After hearing this, Hai Rui couldn't help but change his mind to Lin Yanchao, nodding and clenching his beard, "Mencius said that the people are noble and the king is light. This is the most important thing in the world. Please send an envoy to announce the edict."

Seeing Lin Yanchao bringing out the imperial edict, Hai Rui was a little excited. After bowing, he said tremblingly: "Heaven Hai Rui, please ask the Holy One!"

The servants of Hai Rui and the common people on the side had no idea what happened. Seeing Lin Yanchao bringing out an imperial edict, he hurriedly bowed to the ground.

After Lin Yanchao glanced at everyone, he replied solemnly: "Sage Bing An."

So Lin Yanchao envisioned the imperial edict, and pointed out the achievements of Hai Rui throughout his life, listing the achievements of his magistrate in Chun'an, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, and Governor Yingtian. He praised him for not fearing the powerful, practicing the truth and being upright and unyielding. In addition, Lin Yanchao's wonderful writings are heart-wrenching and reading.

Lin Yanchao read and looked around. Hai Rui lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly, but the people on the side couldn't help crying, and the two Hai Rui's servants burst into tears.

...Hold the loyal and bright heart, the integrity of the bones and bones, the people of the world believe in you, and I believe in the people of the world...

After reading all the imperial edicts, Hai Rui was silent and bowed to the north for a long time and said, "Your Majesty has a lot of trust in me, but I can only repay you with nine deaths."

The people on the side bowed to the north together and said, "Your Majesty is wise and wise, Hai Qingtian is such a good official!"

When Lin Yanchao saw Hai Rui, the people were so moved by the imperial edict that they could not help but complain in their hearts that when the emperor had written the imperial edict himself, it was clearly all handled by Hanlin. But the people just believed that the emperor could understand Wanli, so the imperial edict was naturally written by him in person. The words of praise in the imperial edict were all the words of the emperor.

If the people knew that this was said by Lin Yanchao, they would probably have another expression.

Lin Yanchao helped Hai Rui up and said, "Your Majesty's order is because your senior can speak up straightforwardly. What you said in the memorial is that the corruption of the administration is the most important thing. Your Majesty sighed and praised the loyalty of the predecessor in front of us. He also hated that although the affairs of administration were a bad disease of the court, they were unable to expel it for a while. Therefore, Your Majesty asked me to tell Senior Hai the guilt in his heart."

Hai Rui was also very clear at this time and said with great righteousness: "Your Majesty's dilemma, the people know it. Indeed, the administration of the government is a accumulated problem. It is not a matter of one day or one night to eliminate it. I am also too anxious. I beg Your Majesty to never need to be a civilian, and it will be a great crime."

What does it mean to wear thousands of ways, but not to wear flattery?

It seems that Hai Rui still uses this trick, just to see who flatters him. The name of Lin Yanchao's fake emperor is extraordinary.

The onlookers who did not know the truth also said: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty also has difficulties for Your Majesty. There are so many treacherous ministers in the court and they can't kill them for a while. But as long as Your Majesty can use ministers like Hai Qingtian to reuse, they will definitely drive all the treacherous ministers out of the court in the future."

Seeing this, Hai Rui said to the people: "I dare not take it, I dare not take it. Hai thanked the villagers for their praise."

All the people said together: "You deserve it."

Lin Yanchao came to promulgate Hai Rui, but the people did not dare to stay any longer and said goodbye.

Seeing everyone leaving, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh: "Senior, look at the common people who are so simple, there are only the distinction between honest and corrupt officials in their eyes. Your Majesty is always wise and wise. They are wronged, but they are blinded by treacherous ministers for a while. As long as Your Majesty understands, and keeps the wise ministers away from the villains, then they will be given a bright world."

Hai Rui pondered: "Lin Zhongyun's words seem to be in the words."

Lin Yanchao said: "I dare not make a fool of myself in front of my seniors. I just 're close to the wise ministers and stay away from the villain'. Isn't it about innovating the administration? But if you look at which court is a wise minister and which one is not counted, Your Majesty may not be able to observe clearly."

"Another sentence of heartbreaking is that there are few wise people in the court, and there are many villains. There are many villains, and it is not that our officials are bad, but because of the corruption of the official atmosphere, everyone is forced to do so."

Hai Rui asked, "Lin Zhongyun opposes rectifying the administration first, so where do you think you should start?"

Lin Yanchao said: "It is necessary to rectify the administration of officials, but it is not the most urgent. At least as far as I know, there are two more important things as the administration of officials."

Hai Rui cried: "Not one of the two things, it is to build a charity school."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Of course not. When Zhang Jiangling retired, he once made a comment to His Majesty. The officials were lucky enough to hear it. Zhang Jiangling said that there are three accumulated problems in the Ming Dynasty, one is the royal family, two is the administration of officials, and three is the border trouble. Any one can destroy my country."

Hai Rui said dejectedly: "Yes, what Zhang Jiangling said is not false at all."

Lin Yanchao sighed: "Zhang Jiangling's new policy is to suppress the giants to comfort the people, but to view it from the students, but it will not be able to cure the fundamentals of our Ming Dynasty for decades."

Hai Rui laughed and said, "Young people really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is strong. They can last for decades. Even a saint cannot do it. Although I am not in harmony with Zhang Jiangling, I cannot deny his achievements. Do you think that your own words can help you win over the heavens?"

Lin Yanchao laughed twice and said, "Of course, it's not possible to win over Tianqing, but it's still OK to be the pillar of the sky."

Hai Rui looked up and down at Lin Yanchao and said, "I want to know more about it."

Lin Yanchao said: "Whether it is Zhang Jiangling or Senior Hai, the fundamental reason for governing all his life is to suppress the powerful and powerful families to relieve the people's difficulties, right?"

“Yes.”

Lin Yanchao said: "It's a pity that the world is like Jiangling. How many senior officials can have? Relying on the righteousness of Confucius and Mencius, and the conscience of officials comes from correction, can they help the people?"

"Of course not," Hai Rui said seriously, "In addition to officials, there is also the saint, and this world is the world of the saint. As long as the saint is in power, the officials will not dare to act recklessly. This is the best, to correct the wrong world."

Lin Yanchao shook his head and said, "Senior, for thousands of years, the common people have been looking forward to the Holy Lord and the innocent officials day and night, but why can't they escape the cycle of governance and chaos for thousands of years?"

"If there is no saint in the court, can we only act on the conscience of officials? Jiangling, the seniors suppressing the powerful and saving the people is only to solve the temporary difficulties. It is just like giving people a fish, not giving people a fish."

"I think that the world is not upright, but down. It is easy to say that heaven is strong, and gentlemen strive for self-improvement. Only those who help themselves will help them, and those who help others will help them. Establish a righteous school to enlighten the people's wisdom. New people's self-improvement is the way to teach fishing and the fundamental way." 8
