"Mr. Luo..."

Luo Xin sighed again, shook his head, and continued to walk inside, all the way to Hai Rui's cell. In Hai Rui's heart, he still admired Luo Xin. Although he couldn't stand Luo Xin's wealth and food, he had to accept it. Luo Xin's battles in the south and north were everything he did for the Ming Dynasty. He stood up and bowed to Luo Xin and said:

"I've met Lord Luo."

Luo Xin looked at Hai Rui calmly, but finally sighed and said to the eunuch next to him:

"Let Hai Rui be interrogated first."

Then, he turned around and left. The eunuch from the East Factory opened the prison door and escorted Hai Rui to follow behind.

When he arrived at the interrogation room, Luo Xin sat on the chair behind the table. At Luo Xin's instructions, he also prepared a chair for Hai Rui and asked Hai Rui to sit down.

Luo Xin looked at Hai Rui sitting opposite him and saw that although he was wearing shackles and thin as a thorn, he still sat straight, looking at Luo Xin calmly, calmly.

The eunuch who followed him also sat behind a chair, prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone, waiting for Luo Xin to ask about the case.

Luo Xin took a deep breath, then exhaled and said, "Hai Rui."

"The official is here."

"Hai Rui, why did he touch the emperor so much in the memorial?"

The eunuch beside him wrote a quick pen, recording every conversation between Luo Xin and Hai Rui.

Hai Rui said lightly: "The lower officials are just relying on their conscience to do their duty as an official. Since the emperor ascended the throne, the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty have been deep and the lives of the people are as hot as fire. As long as the officials with conscience have seen it very clearly. Although the Ming Dynasty has improved in the past two years, His Majesty's practice of Taoism has become more severe. If this continues, the little complexion that the Ming Dynasty has finally had will definitely die. I think Lord Luo must see these situations clearly. Why should I ask the lower officials today?"

The eunuch beside him heard that Hai Rui actually cursed the Ming Dynasty and would have died. His face was astonished as Luo Xin was the chief judge at this time, he would have wanted to go up and beat Hai Rui. Luo Xin looked plain, but in fact he didn't think Hai Rui was wrong. This clearness was really strong enough by Emperor Jiajing.

A dignified emperor does not attend court all day long and only knows how to practice Taoism. He spends countless financial resources every year. Now he still needs to practice altars and pray that God will continue his life for twelve years. Isn’t this nonsense?

As the saying goes, the upward movement is effective. Can such an emperor lead the entire Ming Dynasty?

He sighed in his heart, and said with a faint expression on the surface: "Hai Rui, you a little doctor, know how many national affairs you are? Your position determines you. You don't know much about national affairs at all. It's as if you are standing at the foot of a mountain, so how can you have the vision to stand on the top of the peak? So, how do you know you are not lying?"

Hai Rui stammered his neck and said, "If I was lying, then I would kill me. I just saw the injustice and said a few fair words to the people of the world."

"Crying you? Can you wash away your insults to the Lord? Do you see injustice? Is there absolutely fairness in the world? For example, you Hai Rui, is it just you Hai Rui who wants to study? There are so many people in the world who want to study, but they don't have the conditions for you. Is this fair?

Your mother is in the hall and your wife is waiting for childbirth. We don’t say that you are filial and kind, just say that you do this and will implicate your mother and wife. Is this fair to them?”

Hai Rui looked gloomy: "I know I am unfilial and I am ashamed of my mother and wife, but there are many people in the Ming Dynasty who are not as good as me. There are corrupt officials in the magistrate of the Defamily. How many families of the Ming Dynasty have lived well?

If everyone thinks about their own small family and ignores the people of the world, what is the use of us scholars in the world?"

Luo Xin said lightly: "You overestimate yourself. Can you, a little doctor, save all the people in the world?"

"I dare not do this! I just want to use my own strength to awaken Your Majesty, and then the world will be very lucky. Now all the civil and military officials in the court are full of greed and extravagant things, and I hope Your Majesty can purify the administration."

Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "As an official, there are differences in practical and practical things. If you really think about the people of the Ming Dynasty, then be pragmatic.

Hai Rui, the Japanese officials are now judging you, so take this official as an example. I destroy the Japanese pirates in the south, Zhang Daoyuan, the White Lotus Sect, and the Tatars and Goryeo in the north. This is pragmatic, which brings the people of the Ming Dynasty a peaceful environment and does not need to suffer any more wars. I run the Maritime Bureau and the mutual market, solve the Ming Dynasty's finances, and make the country's foundation stronger. This is pragmatic.

To be honest, in the eyes of my official, the ones I respect most are these pragmatic officials. But I use my imagination to use the perspective of lawlessness and unscrupulous impeachment of criticism. I have no good impression of me. If I have the ability, I will work for the people and the country steadily. This is the duty of an official and what a scholar should do. Instead of causing trouble to the country or even national chaos.

Do you know that it was because of your memorial that fifty-three officials were arrested, and officials from six cabinet departments were locked up in duty rooms. Thousands of officials of all sizes in the capital were in panic. The entire capital was not in office or intent, and the country was in a state of stagnation.

What a mess this is, you know?

If one is not handled well, it will cause chaos in the public, do you know?

Is a pragmatic person like me not as good as a pragmatic person like you?"

Hai Rui took a deep breath and said, "I know I am not as good as an adult. Hai Rui admires everything he does. Hai Rui knows that he can't do what an adult does, so he only does what he can."

"Are you lying within your ability?"

"I'm not lying!"

"It's really stubborn!"

Luo Xin sighed in his heart. Originally, he had no hope for Hai Rui to admit his mistake, but he just held one-tenth of hope. Now he was even more sure that Hai Rui would not admit his mistake. In this way, he had to delay Hai Rui.

"Take it down." Luo Xin waved his hand.

Hai Rui stood up and looked at Luo Xin and said seriously: "Mr. Luo, you have also arrested many corrupt officials and even killed many. And I don't believe you can't see the disadvantages of Your Majesty's obsession with Taoism. I hope Lord Luo can persuade the emperor..."

Luo Xin waved his hand again and said, "I don't have that skill. Do you know how much trouble it has brought to the entire Ming Dynasty because of what you and others have done?

When the entire Ming Dynasty has no one to work and no intention to work, the entire country has stagnated, the Ministry of Works has no one to work and cannot make weapons, and the Ming Dynasty soldiers have no weapons to use, and they will die under the enemy's knife and cannot make farm tools, which will delay the farming time of the people in the world. Once the farming time is delayed, the crops will be in short supply, and the people who are hungry will still be ordinary people. The Ministry of Revenue has no one to work, and even if there is a famine, no one will provide disaster relief. When the time comes, the starvation will be everywhere. The Ministry of Rites has no one to work, no one to teach students, and no one to deal with the envoys of various vassal states. The former shakes the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and the latter will make the relationship around the Ming Dynasty bad. The Ministry of Personnel has no one to work, no one to assess all officials, which makes all officials complain. The Ministry of War has no one to work, how to protect the territory of the Ming Dynasty? The Ministry of Justice has no one to work, and the people have no place to appeal.

The entire Ming Dynasty was in chaos by you. Is this the result you want?

Do you think I still have time to investigate what corrupt officials?

What time do you think I have to give any advice to the Lord?

Even if you originally had the plan to supervise corrupt officials and even have the idea of ​​giving suggestions to the emperor, you have to let go at this time. Because the most important thing at this time is to let the Ming Dynasty run and not let the world go in chaos."
