Speaking of the great talents of the Ming Dynasty, the first thing that comes out of his mind should be the mercurial Tang Bohu, after all, the story of Tang Bohu dotting Qiu Xiang is like a memory engraved in the DNA, which is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In addition, everyone may also think of Yang Shen, who is full of poetry books, and Xu Wei, a rare all-round player. Today, we will discuss xie jin, the first great talent of the Ming Dynasty who is not very famous but very talented.
Relying on talent to be reused by the emperors of the two dynasties, the road to career is comparable to opening and hanging
Xie Jin was born in Jishui, Jiangxi Province, into a family of scholars, and legend has it that he was extremely intelligent when he was a child, known as a "child prodigy", who could write poetry at the age of five, write essays at the age of seven, pair up in six steps, read through the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of twelve, zhongju at the age of nineteen, and enter the priesthood at the age of twenty. In short, cattle! When you and the mud are in, people have already exported poetry. Xie Jin's ancestors are also very skilled, there is no shortage of official people who have entered the military through scientific examinations and have prosperous official fortunes; people who understand fame and fortune and live in seclusion in the mountains; chivalrous and righteous people who are righteous and loose their wealth and help the poor and the poor, xie Jin's cattle are thanks to this powerful gene. The family has high hopes for Xie Jin, which can be seen from his name, Xie Jin's word gentleman, one jin and one gentleman, together is "promotion", this Xie Jin's life can be regarded as a clear arrangement, that is, to be an official, and constantly promoted. He also did live up to expectations, at the age of twenty, with his brother and brother-in-law together in the jinshi, the Xie family suddenly had three more civil servants and the official positions are not small, "one door three jinshi, brothers on the list" This wave of operations really stunned the people at that time, put to today, we do not understand ah, how high the green smoke of this ancestral tomb must be, in order to be so beautiful.
At that time, Xie Jin was already famous, Zhu Yuanzhang was also very optimistic about it, and when he was in the temple examination, he specifically mentioned the name of Jie Jin, and let him use the spring wind and weeping willow as the title to compose poems, our Xie Dacai Ah did not panic, opened his mouth, and used two high-level horse ass poems to coax Zhu Yuanzhang to be happy. Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing to point out the interpretation of Jin as a champion, an accident occurred, and the ministers thought that the interpretation of the sound was the same as "leaking", and that Jin was the meaning of the official, which meant that the officials were gone, which meant that the meaning was not good, so the title of the hand flew away, you said that the solution to the injustice was not wronged, and when the elder named it, it was estimated that he did not expect such a hand. Although he was not a champion, Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to Xie Jinna and directly promoted him to Zhongshu Shu Jishi, not only that, but also commensurate with his father and son. During the Jianwen Emperor period, Xie Jin did not get much use because of the slander of officials, but this did not affect the rise of Xie Jin in the Zhu Di period, a "Dengji Edict" to see Zhu Di laughed, praised this is a talent, so the name of the official into the knighthood is justified, Zhu Di ordered Xie Jin to form a cabinet, Xie Jin became the first cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, deeply appreciated by Zhu Di, in general, Xie Jin in the career path, but it is still very windy.
At the same time that he was reused by the emperors of the two dynasties, he was rejected, and finally died unjustly, what did Xie Jin do?
In the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, Xie Jin's career was smooth at the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but be commensurate with him as a father and son, and let him know everything, this kind of words came out of the emperor's words, understand that people can hear that this is a polite word, listen to it, but our Xie Jin does not think so, he thinks that the emperor let me know everything, is my appreciation and trust, I can not talk to him well, so, that night, I wrote a book of diseases, wielded ink like rain, stayed up late to write a book of ten thousand words, exposing current affairs problems, Don't want to move yourself, the next day fart upside down what you wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang, this old Zhu looked at ah, the face suddenly could not cover, good guy, you are not punching me in the face. But there is no investigation, because after all, this is his own favorite, ah, but this Xie Jin is not a fuel-saving lamp, there is a talent, in the world like an "idiot", do not know how to turn, with the emperor's grace, almost offended all that can be offended, the minister of the DPRK saw that he was not happy, Zhu Yuanzhang in order to save him, demoted him, but Xie Jin did not understand, and then did, Zhu Yuanzhang hated iron is not steel, it was relegated back to his hometown, did not expect that the parting was the last time the two met. During the Jianwen Emperor period, Xie Jin jumped out again, but unfortunately, he offended many people in the DPRK, and those ministers bit to death when they got a weakness from Xie Jin, so in the four years of Jianwen, Xie Jin quietly watched the development of the times like a transparent person.
As the saying goes: it is gold that shines wherever it goes. Xie Jin's gold began to shine again after sinking for more than a decade. During the Zhu Di period, Xie Jin won Zhu Di's favor with a letter of "Dengji Edict", got rid of adversity, and the road to his career began to rise again, but it was not long before he was involved in the dispute over the establishment of the prince and led to the disaster of killing. One day, Zhu Di summoned Xie Jin to discuss the matter of establishing a crown prince, and Zhu Di wanted to make his second son Zhu Gaoxu emperor, but Xie Jin was partial to the emperor and advocated the establishment of the chief. Since ancient times, when it comes to the rotation of the throne, smart people know how to protect themselves and do not participate too much, because emperors generally ask questions with answers to questions about the succession. But xie jin did not understand, he wanted to prove his value too much, and the emperor did it, and as a result, he persuaded the emperor because of a "good saint sun". In this round, Xie Jin seemed to have won and did not seem to win, the winner was the matter of establishing the crown prince, the emperor listened to his advice, and the loser was that there were more enemies, and Zhu Gaoxu, who had missed the throne, called Xie Jin a hate, always staring at Xie Jin, and when he got the handle, he mixed it to death. At that time, Xie Jin's situation was very critical, but he was unaware, still quick to speak, and advocated appeasement of Annan's invasion, which was inconsistent with Zhu Di's style, at this time Zhu Di and Xie Jin already had a gap, but Xie Jin's nerves could not be detected. Xie Jinshang asked Zhu Di to take measures to balance Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di believed that Xie Jin was in a divisive brotherly relationship, Zhu Gaoxu and some ministers in the court got the opportunity, and they went up to the court, plus the emperor had already seen that Xie Jin was not pleasing to the eye, so he took advantage of the situation to degrade him. Even if he was demoted, Xie Jin did not have a long lesson, with the dream of benefiting the people, he returned to meet the emperor, it was a coincidence, the emperor was not there, when the prince was in charge of the country, Xie Jin went to meet Zhu Gaozi, good fellow, this view actually became the bane of his own death. Xie Jin was slandered and hooked up with the prince, and was imprisoned for "several crimes and punishments".
With the passage of time, Zhu Di almost forgot about Jin, until one day when he read the list of prisoners, he remembered that there was such a person, so he sighed: "The solution is still in Ya." This understanding people immediately heard it, this is to get rid of the rhythm of Xie Jin, so that night, Xie Jin was drunk and buried in the bone snow, and a generation of strange people were frozen into popsicles and died unjustly.
Xie Jin's death has a lot to do with his personality, too much to prove his own value, do not understand the sophistication of the world, too much mixing with the emperor's family affairs, in short, is too much. But the fall of a generation of strange people is also a tragedy in history.
