Golden Palace.
Zhu Yijun was reading the memorial.
Now that the Ming Dynasty had severely punished the corrupt officials, the people in the court were indeed in a panic, but the innocent were innocent. They naturally would not be afraid if they did not do it.
At the same time, in the Shanhaiguan incident, the Tartar army retreated. Yu Dayou took advantage of the situation to pursue, going deep into the heart of the country, showing the might of the Ming Empire.
The internal mudflows were being cleared, and the external chaos was being pacified. Everything was developing steadily.
At this moment, Zhu Yijun's gaze could not help but fall on the memorial that was piled up at the bottom.
In a hundred years, the Great Ming Country's silver reserves did not exceed a million taels.
Other than the corrupt officials stuffing their own pockets, there were more problems with the Ming Dynasty's current tax system.
Zhu Yijun slowly opened the memorial and flipped through the flaws.
This memorial was a secret memorial submitted by Hai Rui.
Due to the importance of this matter, even the slightest carelessness could shake the entire country and the world.
Because of this, they told Shu Hua that Hai Rui was slow and did not understand the essentials of governance.
To the matter Dai Fengxiang impeached Hai Rui shelter treacherous people, fish scholar-bureaucrats, seek fame chaos.
In less than half a year, Hai Rui was relieved of their duties.
But even so, Zhu Yijun knew that Hai Rui was only suffering from a lack of opportunities.
In the land of Great Ming, seven families only had two acres of fertile land, but they had to pay five stones of tax.
A clan of a hundred people, a thousand acres of fertile land, but only seven stones.
Although it was customary to place emphasis on agriculture and suppress commerce, merchants did not have to pay a single cent in taxes.
As a result, the poor became poorer and the rich became richer.
After about half an hour, Zhu Yijun took a deep breath and held the memorial tightly in his hand.
"Cao Zhengchun."
"Your subject is here."
Do you know where Hai Rui is?"
Cao Zhengchun recalled and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, Hai Rui is currently living in the south of the city.”
Zhu Yijun nodded thoughtfully and said,""In that case, follow me!”
"Your Majesty, it's already late. Why don't we…" Cao Zhengchun said in confusion.
"Hmm?"
Zhu Yijun's expression suddenly turned cold.
Seeing this, Cao Zhengchun said in fear,""Your Majesty, please calm down. This lowly subject will go and make arrangements.”
……
It was night.
Zhu Yijun took the carriage and headed straight to the south of the city.
After about two hours, the carriage gradually stopped in front of a relatively dilapidated garden.
Zhu Yijun slowly got off the carriage and looked around.
Who would have thought that a former first-grade official would end up in such a state after being dismissed?
Just as Cao Zhengchun was about to knock on the door, his palm opened the door.
The simple courtyard could be seen at a glance.
In the main hall.
Under the dim yellow light, a figure could be seen reading a book.
Zhu Yijun knew that it was Hai Rui, who was known as Hai Qingtian.
Zhu Yijun strolled in and his gaze fell on Hai Rui, who was focused on reading.
However, Hai Rui had been so immersed in reading that they hadn't noticed Tian Zi's arrival.
Zhu Yijun was not in a hurry and simply sat at the side.
Under his gaze, Hai Rui's brows furrowed and relaxed at times.
However, he kept shaking his head and sighing.
When Hai Rui was about to get up and move around, he noticed a young man sitting on a chair.
Under the dim yellow light, the young man looked dignified and had the aura of a superior.
The person standing next to him was the famous Supervisor of the East Chamber.
Cao Zhengchun!
A young man who could make the supervisor of the East Military Department so respectful, could he be…
When Hai Rui realized this, they quickly knelt on the ground.
"I, Hai Rui, pay my respects to Your Majesty.”
Zhu Yijun nodded slightly and said with a smile,"Zhen An, rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hai Rui bowed and said,""Your Majesty, I have already retired to the officialdom and no longer care about court affairs. I wonder what is the matter for Your Majesty to suddenly come to my house tonight?”
Zhu Yijun was not in a hurry to respond. He looked at Cao Zhengchun and said,""You can leave first. Zhen has something to discuss with Hai Taibao.”
"Yes."
Cao Zhengchun bowed and left.
"Your Majesty, I'm no longer an official. This…"
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and did not dwell on the details. Instead, he took out the memorial that Hai Rui had submitted earlier.
"Your Majesty, this…this is…"
Hai Rui was extremely excited as he stared at the old memorial.
"This is the secret memorial that my dear minister submitted earlier.”
"Today, I took it out!"
Zhu Yijun's tone was calm, but it was enough to make people feel another layer of meaning in his words.
"Your Majesty…"
Hai Rui looked at Tian Zi.
The young emperor's deep gaze was like the sea of stars, endless.
Hai Rui could even feel that Tian Zi was becoming a wise ruler.
Even though Hai Rui had explained everything in simple terms, they knew everything that Tian Zi had done.
But…
"Ah ~"
Hai Rui sighed helplessly and waved his hand,""Your Majesty, I have no interest in the court. I only want to choose a safe place to spend the rest of my life.”
" Hai Rui!"
At this moment, Zhu Yijun suddenly stood up and stared at Hai Rui. He angrily scolded,""Right now, the people of the world are in deep trouble.”
"Could it be that you have the heart to let your hard work be drowned just like that?”
"In the imperial court, all the civil and military officials say that Hai Rui's Taibao is here to plead for the people and benefit the people.”
"I didn't expect you to live longer and longer!”
"Your Majesty, I…"
Bang ~
Hai Rui kneeled heavily on the ground, his face filled with guilt.
Didn't he want to return to court? No! He wanted it more than anyone else!
Even if he died on the road to reform, he would have no regrets.
He only wanted to see the determination of this Holy Lord!
Only when the monarch and his subjects were united could the world become rich and powerful!
"This commoner is ashamed. This commoner is willing to wholeheartedly assist Your Majesty in carrying out the reform.”
"Even if my bones are shattered, I have no regrets!”
Hai Rui's expression was resolute.
"Good! Good!"
"Haha ~"
Zhu Yijun laughed loudly as he helped Hai Rui up,""Tycoon, get up."
"Zhen has long wanted to hear Taibao's good plan!”
"This commoner obeys."
Hai Rui cupped his hands and quickly walked to the bookshelf, taking out several books.
"Your Majesty, these are all the good ideas I have written in my heart.”
……
All night.
Hai Rui and the young emperor talked at night.
Cao Zhengchun was waiting outside.
When the sky gradually brightened, Zhu Yijun and Hai Rui walked out of the room.
Although they had not slept all night, their mental state was extremely full.
Hai Rui was extremely excited and could not suppress the emotions in his heart.
Last night, Hai Rui heard the young emperor's words and was enlightened.
The one whip method was beneficial to the world, but how difficult was it to implement?
However! With Tian Zi's support, it undoubtedly gave him sufficient confidence.
Before leaving, Zhu Yijun boarded the carriage and said with a smile,""Hai Rui, I'll be waiting for you in the Forbidden City!”
"Yes."
Hai Rui cupped their hands and watched as the emperor's carriage slowly moved away.
"Great Ming can have a Holy Lord like Your Majesty, so the people of the world don't have to worry!!!”
