Is it true that Harry killed a girl? ?

Hai Rui (1514-1587) was a famous upright official in the Ming Dynasty. The word you xian, since the number just peak. Qiongshan, Guangdong Province (now Hainan Province) was born in a small bureaucratic family with a poor family. Foucault's Li Pingce is a good example. At first, he was appointed as the Oracle of Nanping, and later he was promoted to Chun 'an County, Zhejiang Province. In the forty-fifth year of Jiajing (1566), when Shang Shuling was the director of the household department, he criticized Sejong for being superstitious about Taoism and ignoring state affairs, and was arrested and imprisoned. Sejong was released after his death. In the third year of Qin Long (1569), Shi Yu, the governor of Youdu, was determined to reform, dredged Wusong River and Baimao River, and implemented the whip method, so that Xu Jie and others returned to the people's fields. He lived at home for 16 years after being driven away by Gao Gong and Zhang. In the twelfth year of Wanli (1585), he served as the right assistant minister of Nanjing official department and the right imperial adviser of Nanjing. At the age of 72, he also strongly advocated severely punishing corruption. He died of illness two years later. He won the hearts of the people because he was an honest official, dared to destroy the powerful and powerful, helped the poor and helped the weak, and rehabilitated some unjust prisons. Legends such as "Gong Jieju's case-solving in the sea", "Dahongpao" and "life and death card" are circulating among the people. There is a collection of harbour peaks handed down from generation to generation.

Nanping's instructions to poor youth

Hai Rui, born in the ninth year (15 14), was originally from Fujian. He moved to Panyu, Guangdong in the Southern Song Dynasty and moved to Hainan Island in the early years of Hongwu. Hai Rui's grandfather, Hai Kuan, was once the magistrate of Songxi County, Fujian Province. He has five sons and nephews, namely Haicheng, Lanhai, Han Hai, Haipeng and Haimai. Among them, Haicheng went to Sichuan to supervise the empire, and three others have been promoted. Only Harry's father, Han Hai, did nothing.

Married Xie, gave birth to Harry four years later and died. Since then, orphans and widows have lived together. Xie has a strong personality, relying on his only ten acres of ancestral fields to do some needlework for others to make ends meet. Xie is very strict with Harry. Under the influence of this good mother, Harry studied hard and was young and promising. He vowed to be an official in the future, and he must be a good official who is unselfish, flattering the powerful and upright, so he named himself "Feng Gang", which means strong and upright and not afraid of evil. He has practiced this principle all his life. In the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing (1549), when Harry went to the provincial examination, he won the prize with an article entitled "Governing Li Ce". Wuzhishan in Hainan Island is a place where Li people live in compact communities. In order to oppose the cruel oppression of the Ming government, the Li people often rose up to resist. Harry witnessed the bloody suppression of the Li nationality by the Ming government and the indomitable resistance of the Li nationality. They didn't give in because of the repression of the Ming government. Therefore, Harry realized that the government's policy towards the Li nationality is mainly a policy issue, and he wrote "The Policy of Governing Li". However, in the year when Harry published Management, the Ming government sent company commander Chen Gui and governor Ouyang Bi to attack and killed more than 5,000 people named Li. Harry was very angry and thought that the government didn't take his "Li Ce" seriously. He once again appeared in Shu, thinking that the government's repeated participation in the war not only failed to conquer the Lebanese people, but also aroused the Lebanese people's stronger resistance. So that the Li and Han people living in Hainan Island have no peace. Therefore, Harry advocates sending capable officials to take charge of the work of governing Lebanon. If there is any difficulty in selecting a candidate, he is willing to recommend himself to undertake this important task. The way is to open up the avenue of east, west, north and south on Hainan Island with convenient transportation. With more contacts between Li and Han nationalities, this gap will be gradually eliminated. He also advocated "setting up counties and cities" in places where Li people live in concentrated communities, and compiling Li people according to the standard of A, treating them equally with Han people. Shu resolutely opposed the government's military conquest and put forward a series of policies to govern Lebanon. He showed his ability to manage politics for the first time. However, the upper class of the ruling class never paid attention to his "Li Pingshu", let alone let him undertake the affairs of governing Li. Harry was very disappointed. However, these two political essays reflect Harry's outstanding political knowledge and diligent spirit of worrying about the country and the people.

According to the regulations of selecting scholars in the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty, they can be appointed as oracles after being recommended, and they can also be appointed as magistrates if someone recommends them. In January of the thirty-third year of Jiajing (1554), Harry was sent to Nanping County, Yanping Prefecture, Fujian Province, and began his career. By this time, however, he was nearly forty. Harry works hard and teaches students in accordance with their aptitude. He is divided into four levels according to the different levels of students. He takes four books as basic courses, which everyone must read. Those who get good grades can add five classics, take a mirror, or study the theory of sexuality. Students' behaviors and grades are strictly recorded for the exam. He opposes students writing articles and copying books, so he should have his own feelings and opinions. In his view, if all articles are copied from books, it is tantamount to platitudes.

Harry is very strict with himself and never pays attention to the old rules and customs. He wrote an article, "Strict Teachers Teach precepts", which put forward a standard of being a man, to the effect that people should not live in vain, but should do what saints say. You don't mean to live in vain, but you don't want to go to high school and become a big official. It means that if you go to the county government to be an official, it will be easy to get money at that time. You have a good house and beautiful women. Will you be tempted? Can you stand the temptation of money? Or you can only talk but not do, just talk empty words to people and be a good person. I want to curry favor with big officials when I see them, and I am proud of my achievements. What is good about others? You will walk in front of them, but you will try to cover up your own problems and be selfish in everything. As for the great cause of the country, I dare not even think about it. Harry used this to teach people and restrain himself, thinking that even if he had one of these things, he would be sorry for himself and his ancestors. He said, "If I Harry made any of the above mistakes, I might as well die." When teaching in Nanping, Harry thinks that teachers have the dignity of teachers and can't kowtow to their superiors casually. One day, the magistrate of Yanping County led a group of officials to visit the county school. According to the custom, all students in county schools should kneel and say hello. Harry, on the other hand, only bowed as a gift and refused to kneel. The instructors standing on both sides of him naturally have no courage and have knelt down. Three people knelt on both sides, but Harry stood straight, much like a pen. Officials were dissatisfied with him and called him "Yamagata Pen" without a positive reprimand. Later, some people called him Dr. Pen. Once again, the patrol came to Nanping as suggested, and Harry led the students to meet them at the gate. The county magistrate knelt down, but Harry bowed as a gift and didn't kneel down. Many officials in the county are sweating for Harry, but he stood there with great aplomb.

Harry's toughness naturally offended his boss. Seeing that these officials were aggressive, he was very rude and unhappy, and asked to resign from Nanping's fatwa. Some officials in Yanping House are also dissatisfied with him and have long wanted to drive him away. He was approved to resign as a teacher. However, the sheriff at that time was more rational and thought Harry was not wrong, so he persuaded Harry not to let him go. Later, when Zhu Heng was appointed as an assistant scholar in Fujian, he liked Harry's integrity and transferred him to Zhengyang College.

Beat up Ben's official's son

In June of the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558), Hairui was promoted to the position of magistrate of Chun 'an County, Zhejiang Province. There are many people in Chun 'an Mountain area, few people are poor, and the tax burden is very heavy. What is even more unreasonable is that farmers have to bear the tax burden of virtual land. The big landlords are powerful. Although they have hundreds of acres of land, they have no "percent tax". Harry was very unfair to this unreasonable phenomenon and decided to clean up the land again and collect taxes according to the actual land, thus alleviating landless farmers.

During his tenure in Chun 'an, Hai Rui formulated the Regulations on Strengthening Reform, and did a lot of work in rectifying social order, building water conservancy projects and developing production. His achievements were praised by the people at that time. But there are two things that make the people most happy. One is to crack down on powerful people, and the other is to solve the case carefully.

At that time, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province, the boss of Haiduan, was a feather party in Yan Song, Hunan Province, and knocked on people everywhere when he went out to patrol. Public publicity should save post fees and reduce the burden on the masses. It's really all kinds of excuses to blackmail. His son, the official's son Hu, relied on his father's power to bully the weak and fear the hard, and did many evils. The people dared to be angry and dare not speak. Once, when official's son Hu led his entourage through Chun 'an, Jane was received by the post office, but official's son Hu hanged the clerk of the post office. Hearing this, Harry was tearing his hair out. He wanted to clean up this little man, so he came up with a clever plan and ordered his men to arrest Hu Gongzi and beat him up and confiscate all the money he stripped. Then write a letter and send it to Hu Zongxian together with official's son Hu, saying that this person pretends to be the governor's son, swindling and cheating, which violates the regulations of the governor's adult on keeping the expenses of the post station simple and close to the people, and tarnishes the reputation of the adult. In order to protect the honor of adults, the princess was punished by Ning, and now she is escorted to the palace to let adults do whatever they want. Hu Zongxian read the letter naturally in distress situation, also dare not tell.

There is another thing, that is, Yan Song, another henchmen, was ordered to inspect the salt policy at the suggestion of the capital, and the people in his path were devastated. Harry extracted the phrase "simple and frugal, don't like welcoming guests" from the sign notice, and wrote a letter to the capital, pointing out that "wherever he went, he was not so frugal as stipulated in the sign notice, but extravagant supply, for fear that local officials would be blind." If I act according to the certificate, I am afraid of negligence, such as wasting my hospitality, and I am afraid of violating your compassionate instructions. "In the letter, he also asked how to do it. Chen Zhanqing knew that Harry was a difficult person, so he made up his mind not to go to Yanzhou and made a detour to other places. Because Harry refused to accept the call, the people of Yanzhou were saved from a disaster.

Another commendable achievement of Chun 'an Hairui is that he attaches importance to prisons and pays attention to investigation and research when handling cases. Because he ruled many unjust cases, he is quite famous in Yanzhou County. Therefore, in case of difficult cases in Yanzhou counties, they were also moved to Chun 'an County for handling. According to Wu Jixiang Life Reference, Wu Jixiang of Jiande County worked in Wu Xiang's adoptive father's house, and his uncle Wu La went up the mountain to steal firewood and beat each other. Wu Jixiang killed Ulla with a stick. Jiande magistrate asked Wu Jixiang about the crime of beheading, but the first leader, Wu Gongcui, bribed Wu Jixiang because he had a gap with Wu Xiang, insisting that Wu Xiang asked Wu Jixiang to kill Wu La. When the magistrate tried the case for retrial, he planned to convict Wu Xiang of "beating the mastermind" and hang him. When Harry was entrusted by Yanzhou government to handle this case, he first admitted to Wu Jixiang that he killed Wu La, and then retracted his confession, calling Wu Xiang the mastermind. Starting with the contradiction between Wu Gongcui and Wu Xiang, the author made a detailed analysis and investigation, and came to the conclusion that Wu Jixiang, a Lanthanide figure, was killed and asked for punishment, which had nothing to do with Wu Xiang, so that the case could come to the bottom. If it is such a difficult case, there are many records during Chun 'an's tenure, such as Life Reference, Life Reference by Shao Shouyu, Life Reference by Hu and Life Reference by Wu, all of which show that Harry is very serious in handling the case and never dares to neglect the case.

Harry achieved good results in Chun 'an and was praised by people of his time. However, Harry, who had been promoted to Jiaxing because he offended Hu Zongxian and his wife, was dismissed by his wife Yuan Chun before taking office. Later, with the strong recommendation of Zhu Heng, the former deputy director of Fujian (who was already a senior official in Beijing at this time), Harry was appointed as the county magistrate of Xingguo. During his one and a half years in rejuvenating the country, he sorted out eight suggestions for rejuvenating the country, cleared the field and reduced the burden on the people, and achieved outstanding results.

On preparing coffins to discuss state affairs

In the forty-third year of Jiajing (1564), Harry was transferred to Beijing as the minister of the household department. As a court official, Harry has to worry about state affairs. At that time, the Ming dynasty had tended to decline, with a large concentration of land, rampant official corruption, poor people and incomplete armaments, and was constantly harassed by Anda (the leader of the Tatar clan) and the Japanese pirates. However, as the supreme ruler, Zhu Houxi, the Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty, has never been a court minister since the twentieth year of Jiajing (154 1). He worshipped Fang Shitao as his teacher and strived to live forever. Regardless of the rise and fall of the country.

In the Ming Dynasty, "Red Plum" was one of the pills taken by Sejong for the longest time. It was a pill made of virgin's first menstrual blood and ginseng antler. In order to collect the menstrual blood of young girls and refine this "elixir of life", a large number of young girls were recruited from the people to enter the palace. In the winter of the thirty-first year of Jiajing (1552), 300 girls aged 8 to 14 were selected from Shi Jing to enter the palace; In September of the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, girls under 00 years old were selected 160 people. Two months later, there were 20 female voters in Huguang and Chengtianfu. In the first month of the 43rd year of Jiajing, another 300 maids were selected. In the process of collecting menstrual blood, ladies-in-waiting were devastated and insulted. Taking red lead to more indulgence of Sejong. Where is the art of immortality? Obviously, this is a quick way to die. Ming Shizong, who claimed to be a master of English, was so stupid.

In order to ensure the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty, Harry wrote a famous poem in history in February of the 45th year of Jiajing (1566). This is called "telling the truth first in the world" and also called "public security". From the beginning, he explained the purpose of his trip, that is, "Frankly speaking, being the best in the world, being an upright monarch, being a minister, and seeking the public order of all ages." After comparing the sages of the past dynasties, Zhu Houqing pointedly pointed out that the emperor ignored the national government, regardless of saints and fools, and the rewards and punishments were unknown, which caused a serious situation that "all officials in the world were greedy and weak, the people were poor, and thieves ran rampant during floods and droughts", but the emperor was completely unaware of this. Hai Rui pointed out: Now the tax service is much more than usual. The emperor believes in Buddhism and builds palaces everywhere, and the people are very poor. People all over the country are cursing the emperor, saying, "Jiajing people say that every family has no money to spend."

Harry didn't know the emperor's rights and wrongs, but also sharply criticized: "Today's court officials ask the emperor for the elixir, build large-scale buildings all over the country, build houses and palaces, and the Ministry of Industry also tries its best to manage them, and the Ministry of Household Affairs also sends people out to look for the elixir. Your majesty's mistakes, the mistakes of ministers, almost no one dares to tell you the truth. Most ministers welcome you, flatter you and praise your majesty without conscience. This is not good! "About Zhu Hou wanting to live forever, Harry pointed out that your majesty has made too many mistakes, but the biggest mistake is to repair bones and live forever. Think about it, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen and Wu were all ancient sages, but none of them lived forever. No alchemist has lived to this day since the Han and Tang Dynasties. Your respected Tao Wen Zhong taught you the art of immortality. However, isn't Tao also dead? Since Tao Wenzhong can't live forever, where can your majesty seek immortality? " Harry made a fierce criticism of the emperor, and at the same time put forward many specific suggestions, hoping that Zhu Houxiu could devote himself to managing state affairs and achieve "learning to be an official and stop at his official career;" I have been an official for a long time, and it is my responsibility to succeed. I will train non-commissioned officers to avoid being recruited. " Throughout all the essays, Harry is totally loyal to the emperor. However, under feudal autocracy and totalitarianism, it is rare to accuse the emperor in feudal society. Harry is really brave. For the benefit of the class, he risked his life to enter the "public security".

Sure enough, after reading this essay, the emperor was very angry and threw it on the ground to express his indignation at Harry. But on second thought, I picked it up again. I felt that Harry's words really hit my heart, so I sighed and said, "This man is comparable to Beagan, but I'm not Zhou Wang!" However, Zhu still couldn't forgive him and ordered "arrest Harry quickly and don't let him get away!" " Eunuch Jin admired Harry's backbone and wanted to protect him. He told Zhu Houextinguish that Harry was a bookworm and even bought a coffin after going to Shanghai. It seems that he won't run away. Zhu Hou was shocked. Although he was not arrested immediately, a few days later, he ordered Harry to be handed over to the Royal Guard for interrogation and was sentenced to death. Harry naturally realized the possible consequences of "sparse security". Therefore, after he arrived in Shanghai, he gave his only twenty taels of silver to his fellow countryman friend Wang Honghui, asking him to take care of his affairs. When he got home, he bought himself a coffin and sent all the servants away one by one. He knew that the emperor must put him to death. He once said to Wang Honghui with emotion: At present, the only way to govern the country is to blindly licorice, and the only way to live in the world is to blindly make wishes to the countryside. After Harry was sentenced to death, the upright ministers in the DPRK expressed infinite sympathy for him, but because of the arrogance of the feudal emperor, no one dared to speak out publicly. At that time, there was a Guangxi man who was still in charge of housework. He was also a colleague of Harry's. He demanded the release of Harry, and Zhu immediately ordered him to be arrested and imprisoned, and tortured him to extract a confession. Xu Jie was then Beijing's record minister. He is honest and sometimes takes advantage of his work to persuade Zhu Houextinguish not to punish Harry. Zhu Houqing also understood that Harry's words were mean, but he also had to admit that Harry was right. In this case, although Harry was sentenced to death, Zhu Houxiao never ordered the execution. The eunuch in charge of the Royal Guard is a little sympathetic to Harry, because his target is the alchemist. The emperor didn't order Harry to be beheaded, and they would never act in a hurry.

In the winter of forty-five years of Jiajing (1566), Zhu Hou died of illness. Knowing that Harry was not only to be released, but also to be an official, the jailer gave a banquet to invite Harry and told him that the emperor was dead. Harry was in great pain and vomited all the food he had just eaten, which showed that although Harry scolded the emperor, he was still loyal to him. A few days later, Harry was released, and he was re-appointed as the director of the Yunnan Department of the Ministry of Finance, and then served as the director of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War. In the first year of Qin Long (1567), he was transferred to the Emperor's Shangbao Department Cheng, and then to Dali Temple Cheng, who was responsible for rehabilitating the wrongs. This winter, he was transferred to Zheng Tong, the capital of Nanjing. Harry was promoted quickly after he got out of prison, which was related to the support of Xu Jie and Zhu Heng.

Should the governor weed out the strong and help the weak?

In May (1569), after living in Ming for three years, Harry was promoted to Governor Yingtian. Governor Ying Tian governs ten states including Suzhou, Changzhou, Songjiang, Zhenjiang, Huizhou, Taiping, Ningguo, Anqing, Chizhou and Guangde. This is the rich area of the Ming Dynasty, which is known as the richest place in China.

Harry issued an announcement before taking office, claiming that after taking office, he was determined to "punish corrupt officials, fight against powerful people, correct immoral sexual behavior and stay in the wrong place." Harry prepared the coffin and wrote a letter, which was known both inside and outside the court. The people call this fearless "master of the sea" the "sea sky". As soon as his strict order was promulgated, everything changed like the scorching sun and autumn frost. The people in the ten houses applauded, and the evil gentry and corrupt officials lived in fear all day. A dignitary painted his door red to show off. When he heard that Harry was coming, he painted it black overnight. A eunuch is in charge of weaving in Jiangnan. He has always been arrogant and extravagant, and no one in the local area dares to take care of him. I heard that Harry was coming, so I changed the eight-person sedan chair into a four-person shoulder strap, which reduced the number of horses and chariots. Some people even gave up their official positions and fled to other provinces to seek asylum. Harry created a deterrent in the officialdom of Master Ying Tian. After Harry came to power, the Wusong River area was flooded and thousands of acres of fertile land were soaked in water, and the harvest was hopeless. Ying Tian Shi Fu, the so-called rich area of the dynasty and the land of national wealth, has existed in name only. Due to the exploitation of corrupt officials, coupled with years of disasters, the food and labor burden of the people is particularly heavy, and every family is miserable.

In the face of crops that have never been harvested, Harry knows the top priorities after taking office: one is water control, and the other is disaster relief.

Harry personally went to the disaster area for a field trip. Wusong River draws Taihu Lake through Huangpu River. However, due to the absence of water conservancy officials for many years, a large amount of sediment has been deposited in Wusong River bed, and the water in Taihu Lake has not come out, which is very harmful. Baimao River, located in Changshu County, has not been dredged for many years, and the riverbed is enlarged, making it impossible for floods to pass. He believes that dredging Wusong River and Baimao River is "needed by the national economy and people's livelihood. One day can't be delayed. "

Harry also saw that there were many hungry people in the local area. They were hungry and had no food. If we don't repair the river, we can't watch the people starve to death, so it is inevitable to open a warehouse for disaster relief. So he put forward the policy of "promoting relief through work" in "Recitation".

On the one hand, all expenses "don't take people, don't damage officials", just use the warehouse originally used as relief to solve it; On the other hand, it also stabilized the mood of the hungry people. Harry said that millions of hungry people are a little safer because of the implementation of "working and relieving". More importantly, due to the management of Wusong River and Baimao River, the flood disaster in the third five-year plan area was eliminated in a period of time. Even He, the big landlord of Songjiang who opposed Harry at that time, had to admit: "The year before last, Haigang Feng was appointed Governor Yingtian, so he began to dredge Wusong River. During the four years (1570) and five years (157 1) in Qin Long, there were floods in this area, and the people were able to open Wusong River without floods. If Harry didn't take the initiative to open up the Wusong River, how could we have achieved such great success? " Even Harry's political opponents had to exclaim privately, "He has achieved everything."

After Harry came to power, he still followed the old system and announced it on the second day and the sixteenth day. However, there are as many as three or four thousand people in each announcement. In view of this situation, Harry proposed that false accusations are strictly prohibited and complaints must be based on facts. At the same time, it also provides convenience for the complainant. He announced that all cases involving human lives, robbers and corrupt officials can be reported at any time except the second day and the sixteenth day. Hai Rui also stipulated that all township officials, juren, and Guo Jian diplomas who visit officials in yamen or send letters to complain should implement a registration system to prevent them from affecting law enforcement and interfering with handling cases. Harry found from a large number of cases that most of the complaints were directed at township officials seizing property. In the year he took office1February, thousands of people sued the township officials for occupying land in Huating County alone. For many years, local officials have been afraid to accept people's complaints, and some even tend to protect them. So Harry decided to start by forcing town officials to retire.

At that time, the most famous township officials in Huating were Xu Jie and his younger brother Xu Yi. Xu Jie was a historian and a college student in Jianjitang. In the second year of Mu Zong Qin Long (1568), he was ostracized by Gao Gong, took the position of Prime Minister, and lived in seclusion in his hometown. In the name of "offering", he annexed a lot of land, and his children ran amok in the village, doing many evils and being hated by the local people.

But as mentioned above, Xu Jie has deep feelings for Harry. Xu Jie tried to save Harry when he was waiting to die in the palace because of "poor public security". After Sejong's death, Harry's comeback, promotion and even Harry's current position were all related to Xu Jie's support. If we follow the private policy, we can't investigate what the Xu family has done. However, if you do that, it will be empty talk for Songjiang to implement equal land and tax. Harry is, after all, a man of strong character. He was not influenced by personal feelings, so he ordered Xu Jie to retire from the field and dismissed a large part of the Xu's thousands of slaves. Xu Jie's sons Xu Pan and Xu Kun were convicted and exiled, and his third son Xu Ying was dismissed. Xu Jie was forced to quit the game. Seeing that Harry was selfless and couldn't do anything without withdrawing, he played a little trick and changed part of the land to his son's name. Harry saw through Xu Jie's trick at a glance. In his letter "Returning Xu Cunzhai's Former Residence", he said: "I recently read" Returning the Book to the Field ",and I know that Sheng De came unexpectedly, but he didn't return it many times. It's ok to tidy up. In the past, people became fathers, and the gold in seven rooms disappeared instantly. It is impossible for the public to change their children with their fathers. " This letter is euphemistic and vague, but I am very dissatisfied with it. I hit the nail on the head and pointed out the fact that "the father changed the child" The tone is soft and firm, but it is still very strict. In another letter "Returning to the Old Pavilion in Sok Li", he also said: "The existence of an old man has caused the illness of a small group of people, which is shocking and self-defeating. If you don't pay back half, the folk customs will be dangerous and you can stop. " In Harry's plan, Xu Jie has to quit at least half of the games.

During Ying Tian's tenure as governor, Harry's political achievements were the most brilliant. However, the good times did not last long. When Harry tried his best to show his ambition, officials in the government and the opposition who had relations with Master Ying Tian attacked Harry. The first attack was to ease the situation, and Harry was called to Nanjing as a leisure post for "not going to the political system". Another accused Dai Fengxiang of impeaching Hai Rui for "shielding traitors, treating gentry with fish and selling their names indiscriminately". In this regard, Harry was very indignant. He refuted Dai Fengxiang's slander one by one in "Being criticized for not doing his duty". Pointed out: "Fengxiang does not test the beginning. According to today's theory, people are tigers and township officials are meat. I don't know that township officials have been tigers for more than 20 years, and Wang has been meat for more than 20 years. Today, the meat of township officials is the original meat of Wang. Take it first and then order it back. It turned out that the meat of non-township officials was taken away first, and now it is to compensate one of them, and the compensation is very small. I'm afraid Fengxiang lives in his hometown, and he is also an official of this township. " Refute the strict meaning. However, Harry was relieved of his post as governor of Yingtian. People in Tianfu cried when they heard that Harry was dismissed, and they couldn't bear to let him go. Every family drew a portrait of Harry and sacrificed every year. However, Harry was driven away after all, and everything should be on the same track as before. This fact shows that when the feudal dynasty was in decline, although the reform of Hai Rui was conducive to the long-term stability of the Ming Dynasty, it could not be supported by the emperor, and Hai Rui's grand plan could not be put into practice, and he returned to his hometown of pseudo-Qiongshan in Hainan Island in despair.

Never waver at night.

After Harry was removed from his post and returned to his hometown, he rarely interacted with people and lived a poor life with his old mother. This is also very interesting for DaiVi Yu. Harry lost his father at the age of four and was raised by Xie Jia. He is very filial to his mother. When I first came to Nanping to teach Oracle Bone Inscriptions, I took Xie to live with me. It is said that one day in Chun 'an, Harry bought two Jin of meat. Harry seldom buys two catties of meat at once in his life. People are very surprised I didn't know it was for my mother's birthday until I asked. Later, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province, found out and laughed at it, which spread as a joke. But this little thing just shows that Harry is an honest official. According to the old habit, the magistrate of a county can make a fortune by giving his mother a birthday, but Harry was laughed at for buying only two pounds of meat. All the property of Harry in Qiongshan is still more than ten acres of ancestral fields before he became an official, and Harry has not added more than half an acre of fields. At that time, someone told Harry that someone in Qiongzhou had bought land and lent money in the name of Harry, and Harry was very angry. In a letter to the magistrate in Qiongzhou, he said, "Since he was born as an official, the money he received was only enough, and there was no money left to borrow. There is no more surplus grain in the field, killing two birds with one stone, and a liter in a foreign land. Those who call Rui into the situation with two things are all false. Check and cure under the platform, don't do less fake loans. "

Shortly after Harry left office, his mother Xie died, followed by his wife Wang and his son. He died and only two young concubines lived with him. Harry spent sixteen years in solitude. As there is no wage income, life is not good. Harry often writes entertainment articles for others, such as Preface to Shi Fangzhai's Promotion to Zhejiang and Francisco University, Preface to Li Taishou's 70th Birthday, Preface to Birth, etc. And get a little meager salary to make up for the lack of livelihood.

Since Harry retired from his post and returned to his hometown, although some North Korean officials have spoken for Harry many times, he has been recommended to resume his post. However, Zhang and Hai Rui, two powerful ministers at that time, had conflicts. When Harry left his post, Zhang did a lot of things from it. Naturally, he didn't want Harry to be reinstated. After Zhang's death, in the thirteenth year of Wanli (1585), Hai Rui was appointed as the right assistant minister of Nanjing Duchayuan, and later changed to the right assistant minister of Nanjing official department; Harry was seventy-two years old at this time. Although he is old, he is as strong and honest as before.

According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing was the capital. Although there are five academies and six departments, they can't decide state affairs, and it is a place to arrange some high-ranking officials who have lost political power. However, Harry didn't do nothing just because he was at leisure. Harry came to Nanjing from Qiongzhou with nothing. Many people took the opportunity to give him gifts. But Haiduan thinks that being an official in the imperial court is different from being at home, and all officials should not come to give gifts. "It is hypocritical to pay for this." And will return the gifts that have been sent one by one, and at the same time issue a notice prohibiting gifts to new officials. In this way, no one dares to give gifts anymore. At the same time, Hai Rui also explicitly prohibits apportioning goods to the people in various government offices in Beijing. He said that in such a Nanjing city, the people have to be responsible for supplying hundreds of court officials, and the burden is too heavy. Therefore, he clearly stipulated that in addition to the original provisions must be supplied, do not take a penny, otherwise hell will pay. However, at that time, the government officials in the Ming Dynasty were very corrupt and corrupt? Harry believes that in order to ban corruption, it is necessary to implement Zhu Yuanzhang's heavy code to punish corrupt officials ... which has aroused the opposition of many court officials. Anti-fake Harry is based on "a peaceful world, creating this ominous language." The scholar also wrote a letter impeaching Harry, saying that Harry was a "humble scholar", but he called himself a saint and asked Harry where he wanted to put the saint. Sow discord between the emperor and Harry. Fortunately, this time, Zhu Yijun, the God of God, did not lose his mind. He realized Harry's loyalty and comforted him, but did not approve Harry's request for resignation and retirement.

In November of the 15th year of Wanli (1587), Harry died in Nanjing, where he was appointed. Three days before death; The salary paid by the Ministry of War was overcharged by seven yuan, and Harry was paid back immediately. Nothing personal.

There is desolation behind Harry. He has no son, and the funeral is all handled by his colleagues. Pack all his belongings, only 10 silver. Colleagues clubbed together to pay for the funeral. He was surprised when Wang Yongji, the capital of Wudu, came to his home to mourn. I saw that the curtains of his bed were all sewn with coarse gingerbread. The box is broken, and I don't know how many years it has been used. He felt that even the things in the poor scholar's house were inferior, and he couldn't help crying.

After the news of Harry's death came out, the whole city of Nanjing mourned for him. Business and entertainment in the whole city have stopped automatically. When his coffin was sent to the riverside, people in white clothes and hats crowded the banks of the Yangtze River, and nearly a hundred miles along the river were crying for it, and there were people drinking everywhere. Zhu Yijun of Ming Shenzong was very sad to hear these things, and ordered a grand funeral for Harry and posthumously awarded Harry as the Prince of Pacific Insurance.

Harry's life is a life of opposing corrupt officials, advocating frugality and unyielding struggle with powerful landlords. He was an honest official. During his tenure, he cleaned up fields, reformed taxes and built water conservancy projects, which played a positive role in developing production. Many of his deeds are still widely circulated among the people. His spirit of seeking truth from facts and daring to tell the truth has been praised by people of all ages.
