The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
I wonder if you found it? The great talents in history have not had a good ending, these talents are outstanding in the eight buckets of literary talent, and they entered the career very early, but the fate of people, maybe it is the envy of talent, right? These talents will eventually be killed.
For example, Yang Xiu and You Heng, who beat drums and scolded Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, Pan An, the talented son of the Western Jin Dynasty, Jia Meinan, Ji Kang, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, and Jin Shengsi in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, none of these people escaped the fate of being killed.
It is worth mentioning that the end of Xie Jin, the first talent of the Ming Dynasty, was also tragic, but his method of death was the most unique: he was drunk and thrown into the field and froze to death.
(Xie Jin)
This makes people wonder, why was Xie Jin drunk and killed?
Strange people must have strange things, and the relatives continue to look down. Xie Jin was the most talented man of the Ming Dynasty, more than the talents mentioned above.
Xie Jin was born in a scholarly family in Jianhu, Jishui County, Ji'an Province, Jiangxi Province, and it is said that he was intelligent from an early age, literate at the age of 3, passed the line at the age of 5, recited the "Three Character Classic" backwards at the age of 7, and entered the soldier at the age of 19...
Xie Jin debuted very early, and then became the first assistant of the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, thinking that I was still studying when I was 19 years old, and Xie Jin had already become a major minister in the DPRK at this age.
Zhu Yuanzhang admired his talent, and the history books record that the two were kings and courtiers, and privately Old Zhu regarded him as a son, and Xie Jin was greatly favored.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, his son Zhu Di succeeded to the throne as Ming Chengzu.
During Zhu Di's reign, he completed the compilation of the yongle canon, a great work in history, headed by Xie Jin, in which he sang praises for The Great Ming and Zhu Di.
(Ming Chengzu Zhu Di)
This man has no problem in being loyal to the country, but his character is fatally flawed. The history books record that Xie Jin was a big mouth, and it was easy to offend people if he did not think carefully, and in addition, Xie Jin did not know the way of being an official, did not know how to be a low-key person, and was compared with Dongfang Shuo in the early Han Dynasty.
[(Xie Jin) Good Zang No, No Scruples] This means that Xie Jin likes to tease people, talk to offend people, and has no scruples. To put it bluntly, it is self-esteem and pride.
The high-profile personality will be hated, if it is better to offend the average courtier, what if he offends the son of the emperor?
Needless to say, Xie Jin's good luck has run out.
It is said that when Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was establishing the reserve, Zhu Di consulted the ministers, who were afraid of getting into trouble when they heard about this matter, and bowed their heads one by one in order to protect themselves. Only Xie Jin shouted loudly in support of the emperor's eldest son Zhu Gaozi as crown prince.
In fact, Zhu Di wanted to set up his second son Zhu Gaoxu as his successor, and according to the reason, Zhu Gaoxu, the eldest son of Li Yan, was orthodox, but Zhu Di considered that the eldest son's appearance was not good-looking, plus there was a problem with his legs.
The second son, Zhu Gaoxu, looked like himself, and had always followed him around to fight, so Zhu Di preferred the second son and preferred the second son as his successor.
"The spring wind does not understand the style", Xie Jin strongly opposed the establishment of the second son as the crown prince, and finally Xie Jin said that Zhu Gaozi had a good son, and Zhu Gaozi's son was called Zhu Zhanji, which was later Emperor Xuanzong.
(Akihito Zhu Gaozi)
Not to mention that Zhu Di liked this grandson very much, often "good saint sun, good saint sun" hanging on his lips, Xie Jin's words to the point, under the persuasion of Xie Jin, Zhu Di made up his mind to establish the eldest son as the successor, and the second son was crowned as the King of Han. In this way, Xie Jin offended the second prince Zhu Gaoxu.
The second brother is a narrow-minded and ruthless person, he hates To understand Jin, everyone thinks about it, does Xie Jin still have a good life?
Since then, Zhu Gaoxu has often manipulated right and wrong in front of his father, framed and persecuted Xie Jin...
Over time, a thousand lies became the truth, and slowly Zhu Di's psychology changed, and he became jealous of Xie Jin.
There is an old saying: "If a subject is suspected by the king, the subject will die."
In the 8th year of Yongle, the disaster finally befell the head of the understanding. It turned out that this year, Xie Jin entered the capital to play an affair, coinciding with Zhu Di personally leading a large army to expedition to mobei, the emperor was not there, Xie Jin went to the prince's mansion to meet the prince, nothing more than recounting the past.
Who knew that the second elder had many eyes and ears in the palace, so he secretly informed the second elder about this matter, and Zhu Gaoxu felt that the opportunity to retaliate against Xie Jin had come, so he borrowed the topic in front of his father, saying that Xie Jin "privately saw the prince and formed a party for personal gain", "had the heart of disobedience", and wanted to commit chaos and rebellion...
(King Zhu Gaoxu of the Han Dynasty)
The old emperor Zhu Di was most afraid that the important ministers and the prince would form a princeling party, and since he had already had an opinion on Xie Jin, the second son was next to him to stir up trouble, so Zhu Di was furious and ordered the arrest of Ji Jin.
After Xie Jin was imprisoned, Zhu Di forgot about it, and Xie Jin was locked up in prison and did not let go or kill.
Five years passed, and the prison counted the detainees and presented them to the emperor, and Zhu Di was surprised to see xie jin listed, so he asked the prison officer: "Xie Jin is not alive yet?" ”
Let's analyze Zhu Di's words, if Zhu Di wants to release Jin, he will say, "Why is he still in prison?" Instead of asking, "How is it still alive?" The implication is that he should have died a long time ago.
The prison officer had been mixed in the official field for a long time, and he "understood the spirit of the emperor's words", and when he returned, he entertained Xie Jin with good wine and good dishes, and then buried him in a snow pile when Xie Jin was drunk and froze to death, to tell the truth, Zhu Di had already annoyed him to death, and Xie Jin died in a talented and too willful.
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
