General content: Hai Rui, director of the Yunnan Qing court of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, plays a role here: In order to correct the monarch's way, clarify the position of a subordinate, and seek eternal public order, I want to tell the truth that the world is the best.

The monarch is the master of all things in the world, and because he is the master of all things in the world, his responsibility is great. If people's livelihood is not handled properly, it is that the monarch has not taken responsibility. Therefore, officials should try their best to serve the monarch, be loyal to their duties and speak freely. The courtiers did their duty, and so did the monarch. Needless to say, those who have tried to please, please, and not let the monarch hear the actual situation.

An alarmist may say: a gentleman talks but doesn't do it. Even if he meets a wise monarch, he is often prepared for danger in times of political clarity and worried. I'm afraid it will confuse people's thinking and direction. This statement is not in line with the present situation!

I am grateful to my country, and I would rather openly oppose it than lie. Good is good, bad is bad, and I dare not hide anything. I don't want to please the above, and I don't care about gains and losses. Today, I will tell you a few words from my heart.

Jia Yi, a famous minister in the Han Dynasty, once said to Emperor Wen: "The following people always say that the world has been ruled, but I don't think so. Those who say that the world has been ruled are either ignorant or flattering. " Emperor Wendi was a saint in the Han Dynasty, and Jia Yi didn't ask much of him. Emperor Wendi's quality and style are good. He has the virtue of loving the people, being kind and thrifty, and being calm and humble. But the disadvantage is that he lingers in his mysterious old age and doesn't specialize in government affairs. Many government affairs have been delayed and not done well. If the liegeman can't see these ills and blindly thinks that the world has been cured, this is ignorance. If I can't see that Wendi's talent is limited after all, it is flattering to praise him blindly with words that have been cured.

How does your majesty compare himself with Emperor Wen? Your majesty is brilliant and resourceful, and has the potential to become a king like Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen and Wu. Your Majesty worked as hard as Emperor Gaozu Xuan Di, as generous as Emperor Guangwu, as invincible as Emperor Taizong, and as able to quell the rebellion in various buffer regions as Tang Xianzong. Your Majesty has the virtue of benevolence and forgiveness in Song Renzong. In short, you have all these desirable advantages, no matter which one. In the first few years of your accession to the throne, you should eradicate the accumulated disadvantages, clearly declare that you should innovate political affairs with the people of the whole country. Let's take an example: you wrote an article "Respect Proverbs" advocating discipline; Changed some crown service systems, ordered the abolition of statues in Confucius temples, and only used wooden owners; Weakened the eunuch's internal and external rights; Yuan Shizu was removed from the memorial tablet enshrined in the imperial temples of past dynasties; Sacrifice Confucius' parents in Confucius Temple. At that time, everyone in the world was looking forward to it, thinking that you must do something. Knowledgeable people think that with the help of good courtiers, it won't be long before the world is at peace. You must be much better than Wendi in China. However, Emperor Wen can carry forward the nature of benevolence and forgiveness, be thrifty and show compassion for the people. Lv Zuqian of the Song Dynasty said that he was good at employing people and could do his best. Although the world at that time could not be said to have been rectified, the national treasury was full, even the strings of money were rotten, and the people were happy and rich. It is recognized that he is a saint after Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

Your majesty, you made up your mind to do one thing, but it didn't take long for you to be led to other places by messy ideas. You use your strength and wisdom in the wrong place, thinking that people can really live forever, but you practice blindly. Your majesty is rich all over the world, but he doesn't know it is the essence of the people. He often builds buildings and refurbishes palaces and temples. Your majesty's failure to go to court to handle government affairs for more than 20 years has led to lax discipline and corruption. The imperial court sold officials and bought officials, and abused this constitution more and more, euphemistically calling it an example of promotion, which led to the proliferation of dignitaries and dignitaries. You are devoted to alchemy with the alchemist and don't meet your son. People think you lack the affection between father and son. You often insult your deputy with suspicion and slander. People think you lack the courtesy of monarchs and ministers. You stay in Xiyuan all day and don't go back to the palace. People think there is a lack of marriage and love. Officials in the world are corrupt, the army is weak, floods and droughts occur from time to time, and the people are in dire straits, leading to refugee riots, which are in full swing and intensified. Your majesty has been like this for several years, but it is not serious. But now the tax corvee is getting heavier and heavier, and officials at all levels follow the example of the imperial court and excessively exploit the people. Your majesty has spent a lot of money to worship Taoism, which has been done to the extreme for more than ten years. Therefore, when your majesty changed the yuan number, everyone in the world speculated that this was "Jiajing said that every family was clean and had no money."

Recently, Yan Song went on strike and Yan Shifan was sentenced to death, which was barely satisfactory. There was a time when it was said that the world was cold. However, the politics after Yan Song's withdrawal is similar to that before he became prime minister, and it may not be clear. Your Majesty is a far cry from Emperor China. People all over the world have been dissatisfied with you for a long time, and officials and workers at home and abroad know it. In the Book of Songs, it is said: "If there is a flaw in the post, the clock will make it up", which means that if you can't fully perform your duties, the clock can remedy it. Today, your ministers have the responsibility to help and correct mistakes and put everything on the right track. Sages are bound to make mistakes. Otherwise, in ancient times, it was enough to have an official, as long as he was an official. There is no need to ask them for advice, and there is no need to set up an admonition officer, not to mention the words of wooden rope and gold. Your majesty built a palace and an altar to pray for blessings, so that the ministers competed to offer incense and fairy medicine of Xiantao, and invited hundreds of officials to sit at the table to congratulate. Your majesty wants to build a palace, and the Ministry of Industry tries its best to operate it; If your majesty wants to find incense and treasure, the housing department will send people everywhere to ask for it. What your majesty did was wrong, and the obedience of ministers was meaningless, but no one spoke for your majesty. The practice of openly discussing right and wrong, contributing good words and preventing evil has not been heard for a long time, and the atmosphere of flattery is too strong. However, people dare not speak out, but they can't help feeling ashamed and angry. They dare not say it to their face, but they talk about right and wrong behind their backs. People obey your majesty on the surface, but they hide their true feelings. How much is it to praise your majesty?

If we admit that monasticism is harmful, the change of courtiers, the happiness of the people and the peace of the world will be different. Therefore, you should repent immediately, take charge of the court affairs every day, talk about the interests of the world with Zaifu, Jiuqing, attendants and officials, and clear the monarch's mistakes for decades. In this way, you can be among the wise kings such as Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen and Wu, and you can also make courtiers. There are too many eunuchs and maids in the imperial court, too many servants in the kitchen of Guanglu Temple in the outer court, too many people in the Royal Guards who benefit from the favor of their ancestors, and too many idle people who have nothing to do but are officials in the yamen. There are many things such as satin, silk, grain, jewelry, utensils and wood in Yucang, Ministry of Industry and Guanglu Temple. It's useless to pile it there. It's a pity to waste it in vain. The courtier's advice, which you adopt, is only an economical thought for you. A piece of gold in the capital is worth a hundred pieces of gold for people from other places. Save a little, the state treasury is more than enough, and the people have savings. I really don't know how many benefits there are, but why doesn't your majesty do this?

Today, officials are not fully established, they follow the trend, they are perfunctory, they don't obey the law, but they still think they are good. We should urge to abide by the basic ethics to correct the behavior of officials and stop buying officials with money to sort out our own business; Let civil and military officials settle down and instruct them to make achievements; Usually practice selecting non-commissioned officers, avoid fighting, and recruit people temporarily; Let those freeloaders go home and return to the industries of scholars, farmers, workers and businessmen; Local officials in Fuzhou county should pay equal attention to people's livelihood and education, and establish good customs and habits; Land reclamation and salt transportation should be resumed to enrich the border guards' reserves; Pay grain by mu and take it orally by people to restore people's vitality; Exposing the corruption and extortion of officials in the world will make those who take bribes and bend the law timid and punish them according to the criminal law without mercy. This is benevolent governance, and it will take decades to see results and achieve the great cause of coexistence with heaven and earth. Such a thing was put forward by ministers and carried out by your majesty, just as your majesty refreshed himself. As soon as I got up, all evils were eliminated, and the bright rectification movement like Tang Yu's generation was revived. Why didn't your majesty implement it?

Your majesty just needs to save and cheer up, and don't bother you so much. Jiuqing is in charge of major policies, and the officials are specifically responsible. The governor, the inspector and the Sixth Department are responsible for rectifying and eliminating and maintaining the atmosphere. Your Majesty checks the implementation of the platform and urges to make achievements. Try to find talented people and appoint them to do things, and you will save your own efforts. Just like the fate in the world, the four seasons and six seasons have their own order. As long as the monarch is virtuous and affects his subjects, he doesn't have to do everything himself. There is a reason why everything in heaven and earth is integrated. The people live and work in peace, forming a peaceful atmosphere, and your majesty can naturally feel real happiness and value. Heaven and earth are transformed, and people also contribute to the ability of heaven and earth to transform. They can be listed as "three talents" with heaven and earth, and the fate can be controlled by themselves, so your majesty can naturally enjoy the true life. This is the real truth. Turn around and you can do it. It's immediate. It is unreasonable to hope that you can become immortal and ascend to heaven if you still take the medicine of immortality. Doing so can only make the spirit nervous in vain, and it is impossible to seek immortality through metaphysics. What did your majesty ask for in his life?

It is a great fortune in the world that the monarch's way is not straight and his official position is unknown. If you say nothing here, what can you say? Ministers flatter to protect their jobs. Afraid of being convicted, seemingly obedient. Your majesty made a mistake without knowing it. I can't correct it, and I can't execute it. Every time I think about it, I feel heartbroken. So today, I will risk my life to exhaust my loyalty and sincerely advise your majesty. I hope your majesty can change his mind and change his direction. The governance of the world and the security and uneasiness of people and things depend on you. If your majesty can really adopt it, it will be the luck of our temple, country and country, and even the luck of the people all over the world!
