The events in the biography of Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty reflect what kind of character Hai Rui ha

Hai Rui (1514-1587), the word Ruxian, self-named Gangfeng. A native of Qiongshan, Guangdong (now Hainan), Hui nationality. In the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing of Ming Shizong (1549), he raised people.

He was first appointed as a teacher in Nanping County, Fujian, and successively served as the director of Chun'an County, Jiaxing, and the head of the household department in Zhejiang. In June 1569, he went to Suzhou as the governor of Yingtian as the right of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, dredged the Wusong River, leveled the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and persuaded the minister of power Xu Jie's retreat, which was praised by the people, but offended many big officials and magnates, and was forced to resign after seven months. After Wanli, he rose again, but he only served as an idle position, and finally died depressed.

Hai Jui's career was bumpy, he was repeatedly ostracized, and was once dismissed and imprisoned for criticizing Emperor Jiajing. He has always been upright, impartial in law enforcement, punishing corruption and suppressing tyrants, rectifying the rule of officials, and rehabilitating some unjust cases, known as "Hai Qingtian", also known as "Bao Gong's reincarnation". Li Zhen, a progressive thinker in the late Ming Dynasty, commented on Hai Rui:

Mr. is like a green grass for ten thousand years, he can be proud of frost and snow but not a pillar. ”

He was a good man, but of no use.

Hai Rui was murdered by a traitor in his life, but his life was great, and finally he died a normal death (old death), in fact, the cause of Hai Rui's death was not mentioned in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", this statement is guessed by later generations, at present, there is no information record, unconfirmed, belongs to the wild history. It is said that when Hai Jui was dying, others asked him what his last words were, and Hai Jui told the servant to return the 5 yuan firewood money to the household department, saying that after his own measurement, the household department gave an extra 5 yuan of firewood money.

Because Hai Rui had no son, when he died, the king of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate took care of Hai Rui, only to see the silk tents made of cloth and tattered bamboo utensils, some of which were not used by poor literati, so he couldn't help crying and pooled money for Hai Rui's funeral. When the news of Hai Jui's death broke, the people of Nanjing went on strike.

When Hai Rui's corpse was transported back to his hometown by ship, people wearing filial piety clothes stood on both sides of the strait, and the people who mourned and wept were endless. At the time of his death, the king of the imperial history of the capital used to draw into the eyes, and Ge Wei was overwhelmed, and there were those who were unbearable by the Han scholars. Because of the crying, the entropy is collected.

Petty people go on strike. Lost on the river, the white-clothed senders are sandwiched between the shore, and the drunken and crying people are endless. Gift to the crown prince Taibao, Tadasuke.

In the fifteenth year of Wanli (1587), Hai Rui died of illness in Nanjing.

Unlike many of his colleagues, Hai Jui could not believe that the fundamental plan of governing the country was to hang an abstract, beautiful and good moral standard at the top, and to instruct those below to do so within the scope of what could be done, and to discount it if it didn't work. And his respect for the law is to the maximum extent that is required. If the salary paid to the officials is so meager that it is not enough to eat, then it should be accepted without complaint.

This belief is proved by his own actions: he was an official to the second rank, and when he died, he only left **20 taels, which was not enough for burial.

In the case of the lack of legal dogma, Hai Jui also advocated that we should faithfully appreciate the spirit of the law and not ignore it because of the omissions and ambiguity of the provisions. For example, during his tenure as governor of Nanzhili, he ordered that the pawned and dead land of usury be returned to its original owner, thus forming a dispute that attracted the attention of the whole country.

Hai Jui's life in politics for more than 20 years has been full of various disputes. His creed and personality made him both respected and abandoned. That is to say, although he was admired, no one followed his example, and his life embodied the self-sacrificing spirit of a cultured scholar in the service of the public, but the practical effect of this spirit was very meagre.

He can be as emotionally agitated as the heroes on stage; But when people comment on his political measures, they are not only divided, but they are extremely divided. The most common conclusion that can be found in the midst of all the disputes is that his actions cannot be accepted as the standard for all civil servants.

It is because he is a person who punishes corruption, and then he only has political virtue, but he does not have too many political achievements, at that time, there were many such clean officials in society, and when Zhang Ju was selecting talents, the requirements for personnel were also relatively high.

It may be that he doesn't adapt to improvisation, or it may be his own reason that he didn't let people discover his abilities, so he wasn't reused.

Hai Daren is just a person, to be honest, it is already very powerful to be able to reach the second grade, and normally it has been reused. Zhang Juzheng once criticized in the book: "Hai Jui's quality is undoubted, but he can't do things well", which means that such a person can only enjoy honorary respect, and cannot be appointed to a real position.

Later, Hai Rui was imprisoned for scolding Emperor Jiajing, and when Emperor Longqing was reused, he was released to the governor of Yingtian, and when he arrived at the local level, he built water conservancy, suppressed land annexation, and implemented the "one whip law".

Hai Jui was able to go to the Ming Dynasty, partly because he was firm enough to be fearless of power, and partly because he was trusted by the emperor.

Mainly because Zhu Di likes his character very much. And he also gave Zhu Di a lot of advice, so that Zhu Di's position was more solid.
