The fifty-year-old son, an honest son in Hai Mu's memory, made a promise to his mother that he could not keep.Li Shizhen has sent Haimu and Haizhu to Gao Hanwen and Yunniang at Qingyunhao Weaving and Dyeing Shop in Nanjing. The couple are very happy about this.However, at this festive moment, a court crisis is quietly approaching.
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, officials from the Qing Dynasty and Neo-Confucianism gathered in the lobby of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and were ordered to refute Hai Rui's remarks attacking the emperor in his memorial.Hai Rui's outspokenness and whim made Emperor Jiajing so angry that he eventually vomited blood and left.Both Chen Hong and Xu Jie understood that every word of the emperor had deep meaning and must be understood carefully.
At this time, the task of asking officials to convict Hai Rui fell on them.However, this theory of crime is not simply a conviction, but must be based on the word theory.The holy intention was obvious. Although Hai Rui was not taken into custody, these officials were required to refute his views, thereby showing the world that the ministers believed that he was guilty.
Behind this turmoil is a test of honesty and integrity, and a battle of faith and loyalty.Although Hai Rui's outspoken words shocked the court, it also caused people to worry endlessly about his fate.In front of this fifty-year-old son, Haimu's endless waiting and anxiety have become the family's unspeakable pain.
And all of this stems from that promise that cannot be fulfilled.The son who had never lied in his mother's memory used lies this time to push her mother into endless waiting.
