Hai Rui, whose real name is Ruxian, is a native of Qiongshan, and he is the top scholar after having obtained the provincial examination. Shortly after he entered Beijing, he wrote "Li Pingce" outside the palace gate, demanding that a county be set up in Hainan to stabilize the countryside. People of insight think he is ambitious. When he was working as an Oracle in Nanping, the Imperial Advisor went to Gong Xue, and all the subordinate officials fell to the ground. Only Harry bowed straight and said, "If you go to visit the suggestion, you must worship him with your subordinates. This hall is a place for teachers and priests, and you should not bow down. " Transferred to Chun 'an County. Wear cloth to eat corn and let the old servant grow his own vegetables. Governor Hu Zongxian once said to someone, "Yesterday I heard that Hai Xian gave an order to buy two Jin of meat for my mother's birthday." Zongxian's son passed through Chun 'an, became angry with the post-man, and hung him upside down. Harry said, "In the past, Gong Hu visited his subordinates and ordered them not to waste materials. Now that his clothes are gorgeous, he must not be Gong Hu's son. " He turned over thousands of taels of silver found in his bag to the state treasury, and reported to Zong Xian that Zong Xian was innocent. Chen Qing, an ancient imperial envoy, patrolled by. Harry's supplies were simple. He protested that there was no room for horses and chariots in the town. Mao Qing is very angry. However, hearing about Harry's reputation, he had to restrain himself from leaving, but ordered the salt inspector in Yuan Chun to punish Harry and Huo Yu, the county magistrate of Cixi County. Huo Hexian is the son of Huo Tao, a minister, who is loyal and not flattering. At that time, Harry had been promoted to judge in Jiaxing, but was demoted to judge in Xingguo. After a long time, Lu Guangzu was elected as the literary director of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and Harry was promoted as the principal of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

At that time, Sejong had been in power for a long time, ignored state affairs, lived in Xiyuan and fasted with great concentration. Governors and ministers rushed to offer auspicious Fu Rui, and ceremonial officials often congratulated them. Since Yang Zui and Yang Jue were convicted, ministers at that time were afraid to talk about government affairs. Forty-five years (1566) in February, Harry wrote alone:

"I heard that the king is the master of all things in the world and has a great responsibility. If you want to be competent, you can only put the responsibility on the ministers and let them speak freely. I risked my life to speak for your majesty.

"The former emperor is a wise monarch, and Jia Yi is still bitter. This is not demanding, because Wendy's nature is kind and almost weak. Although there are good things that benefit the people, he can't help but abandon them. This is what Jia Yi is most worried about. Your majesty is brilliant and decisive, far exceeding the Chinese emperor. Emperor Wen, on the other hand, can inflate his benevolent and tolerant temperament, control expenses, show sympathy for the people, make the world rich and decadent, and almost end his punishment. Your majesty was shrewd and keen for a moment, and was led by the nose by delusion, which deviated from the quality of Qingming and improper employment. He even claimed that he could soar, devoted himself to cultivating nature, exhausted people's oil and promoted civil construction. He ignored politics for more than 20 years and relaxed the law and discipline. In recent years, the situation has developed, and the names of ritual vessels are confusing. Without two crown princes, people think that the friendship between father and son is shallow. Because of suspicion, slander, slaughter and insult to ministers, people think that the friendship between monarch and minister is shallow. People think that the friendship between husband and wife is shallow. Small officials are corrupt and arrogant, the people are in dire straits, floods and droughts continue, and thieves are increasingly rampant. Your majesty, imagine what the world is like now.

"Recently, Yan Song was dismissed and Yan Shifan was sentenced to death, which made people happy. However, after Yan Song's strike, as before Yan Song took office, the world was not very clear, far behind the Chinese Emperor. Probably people all over the world have had opinions about your majesty for a long time. Ancient people made mistakes and relied on ministers to correct them. Now the emperor is still building an altar, offering incense and offering natural medicine of Xiantao, and ministers all congratulate and praise him. To build palaces and living rooms, we must try our best to operate them; Collecting spices and buying jewelry cost the state treasury four dollars. Your majesty was promoted wrongly, ministers obeyed wrongly, and no one was willing to correctly state to your majesty that the wind of flattery was serious. However, they were ashamed and discouraged, and then they talked behind their backs after a long absence. What about this crime of deceiving the monarch?

"The world is your home. No one who is homesick, the ministers inside and outside the imperial court laid a rock-solid foundation for your majesty's home. It is your majesty's mental confusion to cultivate nature wholeheartedly. Too demanding and arbitrary. This is the extreme of your majesty. Is it human nature to say that your majesty doesn't care about his family? Most ministers who harm the public and enrich themselves lose their posts because of fraud, and most of them lose their posts because of inaction, which is really not in line with your majesty's wishes. Otherwise, if your heart is at odds with your minister, you will say that your majesty hates harsh ministers and therefore refuses to give advice. If you catch one or two inappropriate people, you suspect that hundreds of people are like this, which makes your majesty play the wrong chess, but you are not surprised. The minister has many charges. The history book says,' The emperor hesitated, which puzzled the people and made it difficult to know what would happen next, which made the king tired for a long time'. That's absolutely right.

"Your majesty's mistakes are many, one of the biggest mistakes is lent. Fasting is for longevity. Since ancient times, sages have said that "conform to nature and save life", but they have never heard of the saying of immortality. Most of the sages such as Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen and Wu did not live long. In other words, there are no living alchemists from Han, Tang and Song Dynasties to now. Your majesty accepted Tao Wenzhong's magic and called him a teacher. Tao Wenzhong is dead. He can't live forever, but can your majesty live forever? Xiantao medicine is even more grotesque and absurd. Once upon a time, I got a gobbledygook in Ganyoushan. Sun said,' How can heaven talk? Where are the books? Peaches must be picked to get them, and medicines must be roasted to get them. Now these two things are obtained for no reason, but are they feasible? Is it possible to deliver it as a "godsend"? This is a treacherous man who has done absurd things to deceive your majesty. It is a mistake for your majesty to believe that it is true.

"Your majesty said punish minister, send someone to govern him. Nothing in the world can't be cured, so practicing nature won't harm you? Tai Jia said:' If you have any remarks that are contrary to your own worries, you must prove them true; If you have a statement that obeys your own interests, you must prove that it is unreasonable. "The appointee must obey Nuo Nuo, not against himself. Your majesty's policy is not good. Observing Yan Song, is there anything against your majesty? The past was a heart, and now it is the culprit. Cai Liang is a Taoist priest and an official. His Majesty thinks this is treason, but he has always been a prestigious person and works in the Ministry of Housing. However, ministers would rather be as respectful as Yan Song than accept the treason of Fa Cai Liang. Instead of looking at your majesty's mistakes, they secretly avoided them. What did your majesty get from it?

"Your majesty, if you really know that fasting is useless, once you repent, you will go to the imperial court every day to discuss the interests of the world with prime ministers, attendants and officials, clean up the faults accumulated over the past decades, put yourself in Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen and Wu Shengxian, and let ministers wash away the humiliation of being sycophantic kings for decades and put themselves in Gao, Kui and Yi. Your majesty, just cheer up. Give it up. Don't do it. I am keen to look down on the world, worry about the nature, and seek to cultivate my nature in catching the wind and catching the shadows. I feel that I have worked hard all my life, but I have achieved nothing in the end. Now ministers are paid and like flattery, while small officials remain silent for fear of being punished. I'm disgusted. Therefore, at the risk of death, I am willing to do my bit, just asking for your grace. "

Sejong was very angry after receiving the letter and threw it on the ground. He looked around and shouted, "Catch him quickly and don't let him get away." Eunuch Jin said beside him, "This man's name is stupid. I heard that when he acceded to the throne, he knew that he had violated the emperor and deserved to die, so he bought a coffin, bid farewell to his wife and children and waited for the punishment of the court. The servants have also fled, and he won't escape without anyone left. " Silence, I read it later with a piece of paper, several times a day. I was moved by it, sighed and left the paper in the palace for several months. He once said: "This person can match the dry, and I am not Shang Zhou." When asked about his illness, he was upset, summoned Cabinet Minister Xu Jie to discuss the succession, and said, "What Harry said is true. I have been ill for a long time now, how can I patrol the state affairs? " He added: "I accidentally took care of myself, which led to this patient." If I can go to the toilet, how can I be scolded by this man? "So Harry was arrested, put in prison and the person in charge was investigated. Soon he was handed over to the punishments and sentenced to death. After the case was reported, it remained in the hands of Sejong. Why did the minister of finance speculate that the emperor didn't mean to kill Harry, and wrote to ask for his release? Sejong was furious, ordered the Royal Guards to beat him one hundred times with a stick, imprisoned him in the Imperial Palace, and tortured him day and night. Two months later, the emperor died, Mu Zong ascended the throne, and both of them were released.

Sejong has just died, and most of the outside world doesn't know. Hearing this, Jizi thought that Harry would be appointed, so he gave a banquet to entertain him. Harry suspected that he was going to the execution ground, addicted to drinking and worried about nothing. The master attached it to his ear and said, "The emperor has died, and Mr. Wang is about to be released from prison." Harry asked, "Really?" Then he cried, threw up all his food, fell to the ground and cried all night. He was quickly released and restored to his original position. Soon he was reassigned to the Ministry of War, promoted to Shang Baocheng and transferred to Dali Temple.

In the first year of Qin Long (1567), Xu Jie was impeached by Qi Kang. Harry said, "Xu Jie's servant, the late Emperor, never failed to stop the immortal's civil engineering, and Dinosaur Wei was guilty of keeping his position. But since he took office, he has been concerned about the country and the people, generous and commendable. Qi Kang is willing to be an eagle dog and fight for good people. His sin is higher than a high arch. " People agree with him.

He has been in charge of the political situation in Beijing. In the summer of the second year of Qin Long (1568), the governor was ordered to make the ten houses in Yingtian the right capital. Subordinate officials are afraid of your majesty, and most people with bad records are automatically dismissed. Powerful people painted their doors with Dani. When they heard that Harry was coming, they painted them black. The people who supervise the textile structure have disappeared from many followers. Hairui is determined to innovate, and invited to dredge Wusong and Baimao, so that the river can freely flow into the sea and benefit the people. He always hated the big family's annexation of land, and tried his best to destroy the powerful and appease the poor and weak. The fields of the poor were swallowed up by the rich, and they took them back. Xu Jie was not allowed to live in the village, and Harry inquired about his family without mercy. His orders were so resounding that some companies followed them with trepidation. Powerful strongmen fled to other counties to avoid them. Rapers often take the opportunity to report, so most people are often falsely accused and wronged. He also cut the extra cost of postal delivery. The literati left this place and refused to provide food and drinks, so they complained a lot. They all criticized Harry for being pedantic and unfamiliar with the political system. He should be placed in a leisure place in Nanjing, but Mu Zong still gave Harry preferential treatment and rewarded him with a letter. Not long after, Dai Fengxiang impeached Hai Rui to cover up traitors and fish officials and disturbed political affairs by fishing for fame and reputation, so he was transferred to supervise Nanjing Grain Depot. Harry comforted Wu Di for only half a year. As soon as people heard that he was leaving, they cried and painted him as a sacrifice at home. I am about to take up my new job and meet the high arch in charge of the official department. This person has always held a grudge against Harry and merged his position into Nanjing Household Department, so Harry went home sick.

In the early years of Wanli, Zhang presided over the state affairs. He didn't like Harry, so he ordered an inspection of his integrity as suggested. Suggested a trip to the mountains, and Harry really entertained him. Two people sit down to eat, the house is not big, it is suggested that they leave with a sigh. Zhang was afraid of Harry's honesty and frankness, but he never summoned Harry, although he was recommended by the court and outside. In the winter of the fifteenth year of Wanli (1587), Juzheng died, and the official department planned to appoint him Zuo Zhengtong. Zongshen attached great importance to Harry's reputation and awarded him his original position. In the first month of the second year, he was appointed as the right assistant minister of Nanjing official department. Harry is 72 years old. He wrote that he will die of old age. He is willing to be more upright than a body discovered. Generally speaking, "Your Majesty has a good governance, but politics is still not ideal, because the punishment for corrupt officials is relatively light. Ministers can't talk about the reasons. Instead, I use polite words to cover up my mistakes. Treat people with courtesy, but what are the crimes and punishments of the people? " So he cited the thirty years of Hongwu (1397) as an example, saying that these punishments should be used to punish corrupt officials now. In other aspects of current political planning, the words are very practical. Only the emperor was advised to torture, which was considered inappropriate by public opinion at that time. Inspector Macon impeached him. Although Zongshen thought Harry's words were a bit excessive, he realized his loyalty and fired Kunio.

Zong Shen tried many times to recruit Hai Rui, but was secretly stopped by the ruler, so he was appointed as the suggestion of Nanjing Youdu. Nanjing officials have always been lazy, and Harry tried to correct this trend. There is a suggestion to play occasionally, and Harry intends to punish him according to the Taizu decree. Bai Si was afraid and suffered greatly. Fang Huan, a scholar, is worried about being exposed by pickets and is ready to strike first. Zhong Yuchun also encouraged him to write another ugly Harry. Harry also wrote to ask for retirement many times, but Zongshen appeased him and refused to resign. In the fifteenth year of Wanli (1587), Harry died in office.

Harry has no son. When he died, Wang Yongji, the capital of Wudu, visited his house and found that he used linen tents and broken bamboo boxes that poor and cold scholars could not bear. Wang Yongji stepped down in tears and raised money for his funeral. People went on strike. The funeral was held on the river, and undertaker, wearing a white hat, was caught ashore, and people were crying and drinking. Zongshen posthumous title was a Prince Taibao, and posthumous title was a hero.

Harry has been studying all his life, mainly because he is strong, because his name is Feng Gang and everyone calls him Mr. Feng Gang. He once said: "If you want to maintain law and order, you must first implement the well-field system. If we have to, we will implement the farmland restriction system. If not, we will implement the land equalization system, and we can also preserve the heritage of the ancients. " Therefore, from the county magistrate to the governor, they are committed to clearing the fields and promulgating the whip method. The main idea is to benefit the people, but it cannot be said that it is impartial.
