In the Ming Dynasty, an era when traitors were in power, the fate of righteous gentlemen such as Xia Yan, Yang Jisheng, and Liu Qiu was unsightly, and even Wang Shouren, who pioneered "Xinxue", had been subjected to Liu Jin's **, which shows that it is difficult for a righteous gentleman to survive as an official in the Ming Dynasty.
Hai Jui, however, is an exception. His personality is extreme, he is dedicated to the people, and he is not afraid of power, and it stands to reason that such a person should have been executed a long time ago. However, he not only survived to the second grade, but also died well, which is really amazing.
Hai Jui, a man born in 1514, was only promoted to the rank of official at the age of 36. His first official position was that of a priest without rank. During his tenure as a teacher, the general trend of Yan Song's father and son had gone and was close to their downfall.
However, Hai Rui's performance in Gaoping County was noticed by Zhu Heng, the waiter of the Ministry of History. Zhu Heng silently made some connections for Hai Rui, so that he was promoted from a non-grade teacher to a seven-grade Chun'an Zhixian County, and then almost became the general judge of Jiaxing Mansion.
Because Hai Rui is famous for his incorruptibility, the ** in Jiaxing Mansion has some connections everywhere and looks for someone to ** Hai Rui in the court, hoping that he will be ruined. However, Hai Jui's story doesn't end there.
If it weren't for Zhu Heng's connections in the imperial court, his story might have ended here. Hai Jui's story tells us that no matter how difficult it is, as long as there is firm belief and selfless dedication, there will always be gains.
Hai Rui Legend) Hai Rui, all the way from Qipinzhi County to Yingtian Governor, his career was not all smooth sailing. During his tenure in the capital, he prepared a letter accusing Emperor Jiajing of incompetence, and although he was dismissed, he was finally released by Xu Jie, the first assistant, hoping that he would serve the people and realize his ambitions.
Subsequently, Hai Rui's official fortune was prosperous, but he failed to stay in the post of governor of Yingtian for a long time, and was driven home by Gao Gong. However, Hai Jui did not give up, he has been at home for the elderly, until the Wanli Emperor succeeded to the throne, he was able to go out of the mountain again, as the second rank of Nanjing Yushi, which was also the last official position in his life, until his death.
Hai Jui's life can be described as lucky, and he has met many conscientious people with lofty ideals in his official career. From the appointment of Xu Jie's first assistant to the help of Zhu Heng, Huang Jin and others, Hai Rui was able to gain a firm foothold in officialdom.
If he had been born more than ten or twenty years earlier, I am afraid that he would have fallen in the officialdom.
