The walls are reeded, and the top-heavy is shallow.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was a very strict person, especially for officials at all levels, and during his reign, he punished tens of thousands of officials.
But what ordinary people may not know is that Zhu Yuanzhang once said to an official: Morally, we are both a monarch and you are a subject, but emotionally speaking, we are like father and son, and these two people are one who dares to say and is one who dares to believe.
So who is this person who can make Zhu Yuanzhang so "emotional" with him?
This person's name is Xie Jin, and it is estimated that many people have heard of this name. Because Xie Jin is very famous in the history of our country, one is that he led the compilation of the great work of "Yongle Canon", and the other is that he is one of the three talents of the Ming Dynasty.
However, what many people may not know is that it is such a great talent who is "commensurate with father and son" by Zhu Yuanzhang, but in the end, under the hint of Zhu Di, he was frozen to death in the snow.
So why did Xie Jin have such a tragic end? The child's surname is Wang, and it is a long story.
Xie Jin's grandfather was an official at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and after the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty, Xie Jin's grandfather chose to be martyred. Although there are very few historical records about Xie Jin's grandfather, judging from his performance at that time, he should be a very tough person, and the deeds of his old man may affect the character of Jie Jin.
Xie Jin's father should also be very famous at that time, because Zhu Yuanzhang invited him to the palace many times after he completed the incident, but Xie Jin's father was also a temperamental person, and the king of a country was so courteous, but he would reject Zhu Yuanzhang's recruitment every time.
Although Xie Jin had this "friendship" between his father and Zhu Yuanzhang, but the family was also a backbone lord, Xie Jin was able to enter the DPRK as an official later, and did not follow his father's relationship, but completely relied on his own knowledge, step by step. However, he did not want to stain his father's light, but Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him differently, so he had the paragraph we said earlier.
If Xie Jin's father had been an official, then Xie Jin would not have taken the words of the great leader seriously. At that time, although Xie Jin's knowledge did not have to be said, he did not graduate from elementary school in interpersonal communication. When he saw that Uncle Zhu valued himself so much, he directly went to a letter of ten thousand words, and in this ten thousand words book, he pointed out very "out of sight" that Zhu Yuanzhang's hands were too fierce, hoping that he could rule the country with benevolence.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was "pulling out thorns" for future generations, so that his old Zhu family's Jiangshan would be forever solid, how could he be soft. If it was replaced by someone else, Zhu Yuanzhang might directly send him back to the furnace to rebuild. However, Xiao Xie "pushed his heart and stomach" because he listened to his words, so Zhu Yuanzhang did not go down to the ground.
However, Xie Jin did not know at that time, after the leader listened to your opinion, he did not directly adopt it, which means that he has a different view of your opinion, so Xie Jin, who did not understand the situation, picked faults for Zhu Yuanzhang one after another. Zhu Yuanzhang saw that this child was a good seedling, but he was too straight, so he found an excuse to get him home and temper him.
Later, after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, he re-entered the army under the promotion of Emperor Jianwen. However, he was a man of integrity and had offended many of his colleagues, so some people gave him eye drops in front of Emperor Jianwen, so Xie Jin could not be reused. But this matter is completely understood.
Because Emperor Jianwen did not become emperor for a few years, he was given a "dove to occupy the magpie's nest" by his uncle. At that time, Xie Jin, not knowing who had been ordered by whom, actually took the initiative to show favor to Zhu Di. Because Zhu Di was in an improper position, he killed Fang Xiaoru, the "seed of the reader", so he was eager to reshape his image, so he held Xie Jin up. At that time, Xie Jin successfully completed the Yongle Canon, and once became the capital of the cabinet, which can be described as a prominent moment.
It is estimated that everyone knows that Xie Jin led the compilation of the Yongle Canon, but what some people may not know is that in the book compiled by Xie Jin at that time, the most valued by Zhu Di was not this huge work, but a "small book" called "Taizu Shilu".
Why did Zhu Di attach importance to the latter?
Because the "Records of Taizu Shilu" is a book that washes his white, in this book, Zhu Di became a person who wanted to be crown prince earlier than Zhu Yuanzhang, and the reason why he snatched his nephew's dragon chair was because Emperor Jianwen was deceived, and he came to "Jingnan"... All in all, while praising Zhu Yuanzhang, this book is also changing the law to improve Zhu Di's status, and many of the people involved in writing this book at that time were fiercely promoted by Zhu Di.
However, after Xie Jin finished compiling the Records of Taizu, Zhu Di was not satisfied, and once asked Xie Jin and others to re-repair it, and after Xie Jin and others returned to work, Zhu Di later repaired it for the third time, and xie Jin had already been killed at that time. Judging from Xie Jin's temper, when he revised the Records of Taizu, he should not have completely followed Zhu Di's "suggestions", which was one of the reasons why he was later killed.
In addition to "violating the yin and the yang" against Zhu Di, the leader, Xie Jin also offended Zhu Gaoxu, the leader's "heart meat". Zhu Gaoxu was Zhu Di's second son, and originally in his order of teeth, he should not have thought too much. However, Zhu Di's eldest son, Zhu Gaoxu's eldest brother Zhu Gaoxu, was not welcomed by Zhu Di because of his personal ability and physical reasons, and Zhu Di even gave Zhu Gaoxu some hope that he should not have.
Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu also had a very strong expectation for that position, and this expectation even affected the political situation in the DPRK, because some people wanted to become his "minister of the hidden residence". The two princes took the concubine, naturally it was impossible to move, and Zhu Di, who was wise and divine, also became hesitant to deal with the issue of heirs.
He had consulted Xie Jin on this issue, and Xie Jin was already a cabinet minister at that time, and after so many years of smooth sailing, he may have forgotten the lesson that Zhu Yuanzhang had taught him, so he expressed his position without reservation, and he resolutely supported the crown prince Zhu Gaoxu and resolutely opposed the whimsical Zhu Gaoxu.
Although Zhu Di finally agreed with his opinion, Zhu Gaoxu was eager to immediately over-understand Jin. Although Zhu Gaoxu is hopeless as emperor, the relationship between people and his father is definitely 100 stronger than that of an outsider, so under Zhu Gaoxu's constant framing, Zhu Di finally sent Xie Jin to prison.
However, at that time, xie jin was not the only one who was imprisoned, but he was the only one who was hinted to death by Zhu Di in the end. Therefore, we judge that the reason why Zhu Di wanted to kill him was on the one hand because zhu Gaoxu's incitement and ignition should also have the bonus of his last cause of death.
Xie Jin, you don't have such a hard foundation yourself, why do you have to fill the garlic? If you really have the ability, you should be old and conspire against the country, you are not convinced that others say that you are a reed on the wall, but instead satirize the other party is a bamboo shoot in the mountains, but are you really not empty in the belly?!
