Chapter 1,292 The 'resonance' of two generations of Buddhist practitioners?
Outside the imperial edict.
As the cell door opened and light appeared, Hai Rui couldn't help but squint his eyes, and his increasingly thin face was completely drained of color.
Feng Bao was so frightened that he was afraid that this man would fall down like this.
Fortunately, Hai Rui only paused for a moment before continuing to walk forward, returning from the dark prison to the clear sky with a steady pace.
Feng Bao breathed a sigh of relief and said in as gentle a tone as possible: "Master Hai, please come with me!"
Hai Rui followed calmly to a room, took off his smelly clothes, took a bath, and put on a clean set of court clothes.
Yesterday, Hu Zongxian came to visit the prison. After a long conversation, Hai Rui was convinced by the new chief minister whose first priority after returning to the DPRK was disaster relief, especially the resettlement of the Guanzhong victims.
However, Hai Rui didn't expect that he would be released today and that he would have to go to the palace to face the saint in this situation.
Sure enough, after changing his clothes, Feng Bao came up to him and asked, "Master Hai, do you want to have a meal?"
Hai Rui said: "There is no shortage of food in the prison. I am not hungry."
Feng Bao wondered if the things in the prison were for people to eat, but looking at his thin appearance, he realized something. I am afraid that this person is used to living a hard life, and he really doesn't feel that there is anything difficult: "Then please Hai Hai
Come with me!"
Under the escort of Dongchang, Hai Rui followed Feng Bao all the way to the Forbidden City.
Looking from a distance in front of the palace, a burly figure was waiting.
Feng Bao hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Grand Governor!"
Lu Bing nodded to Lu Fang's godson: "Eunuch Feng will go alone, and I will take the Lord of the Sea into the palace."
"yes!"
Feng Bao stepped back, and Hai Rui stepped forward, with a respectful gesture: "Hai Rui has met Lu Taibao."
Lu Bing's eyes were very complicated: "Hai Gangfeng, you are a direct minister who puts life and death at risk. I won't lie. You must not offend me in this interview!"
Hai Rui said: "I never meant to offend Your Majesty, and I am not a direct minister. In fact, the Ming Dynasty had tens of thousands of officials, but no one dared to tell the truth to Your Majesty. If I don't speak, future generations will tell the truth!"
Lu Bing's expression changed slightly: "According to what you said, in our Ming Dynasty, the king is a coward and all the ministers are sycophants, but you are the only one who is a loyal and virtuous minister?"
Hai Rui shook his head: "Of course I am not the only one. Hu Shoufu is a wise minister, and Governor Lu is not a treacherous person..."
Although he is not a sycophant, it does not mean that he is a good official, but Lu Bing was able to receive this evaluation, and suddenly felt some comfort in his heart. He sighed: "Hai Gangfeng, you should know that being angry will not solve any problems."
Hai Rui nodded: "I know what Governor Lu means, please take me to see the saint!"
Looking at this thin and resolute face, Lu Bing walked towards Qianqing Palace without saying another word.
"Your Majesty, bring the criminal Hai Rui here!"
Lu Fang personally came forward and led the two of them in. There were no other servants in the palace, but there was a woman sitting there, it was the goddess Yu Jing who had unveiled the imperial list.
Sitting on the main seat was the equally thin Jiajing, who looked over with bright eyes.
A small sixth-grade official would naturally not have any qualifications to meet the saint in the past, and there was no major local case such as converting rice into mulberry in this world. Hai Rui's reputation spread to the center early, so Jiajing had
Hai Rui's only impression was that he had read "Public Security" more than ten times during this period, carefully looking for mistakes.
Now I finally meet the performer who is destined to go down in history.
Just as Jiajing was examining Hai Rui carefully, Lu Bing was shocked.
Because compared to the Taoist appearance of Ge Bu in the Taoist robes and flowing beard and hair in the past, Jiajing at this time was dressed in regular clothes, dignified and solemn, and he didn't have any Taoist atmosphere at all.
A monarch who is bent on cultivating mysteries changes his robes when meeting his ministers who are outspoken in admonishing him. Is this a concession?
This was a wrong guess. Jiajing was not giving in to Hai Rui, but his opinion of Taoism had deteriorated during this period, and he realized that Yu Jing was not a Taoist sect, so he made adjustments.
Hai Rui didn't pay attention to this and fell down after performing prostrations: "My lord Hai Rui, long live my emperor!"
Jiajing did not let him stand, let alone give him a seat. He said calmly: "You don't accuse the guilty minister. It seems that you still don't think you are guilty, but you feel that you are not at fault?"
Hai Rui said: "It is natural for the following to offend the superiors and offend the general principles. However, the emperor and his ministers have their own duties. As ministers, if they do not advise the emperor and make them bear the infamy for a long time, then they are the guilty ministers!"
Jiajing had learned from the memorial that Hai Rui's words were powerful and clear, but when he faced it in person, his heart was still filled with confusion and he opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute it.
In the face of those ministers who were loyal to him and feared him, Jiajing could manipulate them at will, and even used ambiguous words to let the ministers speculate. If they got close to what they wanted, they would be rewarded. If they couldn't, they would be responsible for their crimes.
, has nothing to do with the above.
But with Hai Rui being so straightforward, he suddenly found himself isolated and helpless.
People's opinions are clear, right and wrong are right and wrong, and there is no need to argue...
Finding everything in the palace was quiet, Hai Rui still prostrated himself on the ground. Hai Rui, who lowered his head, then spoke: "Your Majesty, I lost my father when I was four years old. My mother brought me up in a strict manner. When I became an official, my mother taught me earnestly:
'Although you have no father, as soon as you receive the emperor's salary, you become your father'!"
"In fact, I, Hai Rui, am not the only one who regards Your Majesty as my father. Is there anyone in the world who doesn't regard the Emperor as my father? When Your Majesty first ascended the throne, he eradicated the long-standing evils, reformed political affairs, swept away the filth of the Zhengde Dynasty, and restored peace to the world! At that time, the weather was good and the treasury was full.
, the people of the world are so happy and looking forward to the arrival of a prosperous age..."
"However, Your Majesty has gradually forgotten the principles of being a king. He lives deep in Xiyuan and is devoted to mystical cultivation. How often do he observe the sufferings of the people's livelihood? How often do he think about the tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty. Although they have a king but no father, even though they have officials, they are like thieves.
! In the two capitals and thirteen provinces, they are all hungry and cold babies waiting to die, and fish and meat waiting to be cut...Does Jun father know?"
Hai Rui's words were not only sincere, but also filled with passion, and every word was of utmost importance.
Lu Bing was moved when he heard this, and even Lu Fang couldn't help but dissipate some of his anger towards this minister who had made his master angry.
Jiajing also fell silent, staring at the courtier who was kneeling on the ground from beginning to end. After a moment, he finally sighed and said slowly: "Raise your head!"
Hai Rui slowly raised his head.
Two equally thin faces looked at each other.
Hai Rui's brows were full of excitement, with deep expectation, hoping to see the moment when the emperor suddenly wakes up.
Jiajing is gentle on the surface, but his eyes are cold and hard after all.
He had to admit that Hai Rui's sincere words just now really touched him, but that was all.
Jiajing's main concern is his own practice and future: "Cultivation on the great road is easy and difficult, and I also know that it depends on me and heaven. If I don't accumulate Yin virtue, there will be a group of demons to hinder it..."
In Jiajing's view, his spiritual practice was insufficient and he neglected his negative virtues, which was why he had so many evil deeds.
The unjust souls in the city who were killed in vain by the underworld are evil obstacles, and Hai Rui, who disgraced them, is also an evil obstacle.
Fortunately, there is still a chance to recover. We can use evil obstacles to break them, which has the effect of fighting poison with poison: "Hai Rui, since you recognize me as your king's father, I want you to follow the words of the goddess Yujing and travel far and wide to inquire.
I pray to all continents to obtain the true scriptures of Qianqiu and save the lonely souls in the netherworld. Can you obey?"
The excitement in Hai Rui's brows dissipated, and without looking at Yu Jing, he just said in a solemn voice: "The emperor's orders are above, and I should obey them, but I have a request!"
Jiajing said: "Say."
Hai Rui lowered his head and kowtowed: "Please publish my memorial to the government and the public, so that it can be seen by all the people in the world!"
Jiajing's breathing quickened.
In fact, if Hai Rui is not killed, "Public Security Shu" will be published to the public, and it is impossible to completely conceal it.
But there were some contents that Jiajing wanted to change, especially those dazzling sentences. How could they be included in the history books intact?
However, what Hai Rui wants now is to show "Public Security Shu" exactly as it is. Thinking of how the government and the public will discuss it, Jiajing has the urge to walk away.
But in the end, he endured it again and again, took a deep breath and said: "Okay!"
Hai Rui's eyes turned red: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Even if this king and father made so many mistakes, which made the people's lives miserable and every family in ruins, as long as he can admit his mistakes, reuse good ministers, and reinvigorate the government, it is still not too late...
Jiajing, however, no longer wanted to see this direct minister who was a pain in his throat. He turned to Yujing and asked for advice.
Yu Jing smiled peacefully, but he didn't open the pot and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, please hand over the Book of Public Security to Haigang Peak. It is the basis of righteousness and should be enlightened."
Jiajing felt aggrieved and waved his hands helplessly.
Lu Fang, who was waiting nearby, brought over the original copy of "Public Security Shu".
Since this memorial was thrown to the ground that night and was read over and over again by Jiajing during this period, it is already somewhat damaged and wrinkled. If it is really to be released, it will only be a transcript.
However, this original version embodies Hai Rui's belief that he would not regret it even if he almost died, and the anger and unbearable feeling of Jiajing, the great emperor of heaven, when he read it.
Yujing stood up, took out a golden hoop in front of everyone, and gently placed it on the "Public Security Shu".
A touch of spiritual light that is difficult for mortals to see was born from it.
"Homage to the Holy Lord, add another clan spirit to our spiritual clan!"
She fully understood the magical effect of Li Yan's gift of treasure.
Hai Rui is just a superficial Buddhist learner, but a real Buddhist Buddhist is the spirit of a righteous king, a clear minister, and the pursuit of peace and security for all eternity. This is the spirit of the memorial that best represents the righteous way in the world!
Wonderful!
…
Zhenwu Xuanyue.
Many weapon spirits gathered together to watch the spiritual accumulation from a distance, and they were very excited.
In the past, traveling westward to seek Buddhist scriptures was a grand event in the Three Realms. Now they will also become the protagonists, and the Guangdong ethnic group will be on the stage of the Three Realms in a dignified manner.
In view of this, not only the weapon spirits following Li Yan in the lower realm, but also the Tushita Palace in the heavens have their eyes set on him.
Just as all the Eldar clan were paying attention to this scene that could be recorded in the history of the clan, Li Yan's heart moved, and he faintly felt that there was an unexplainable force in the dark. They were also paying attention to the birth of a new Buddhist scripture seeker. There was a conflict between the two sides.
