The recent hit drama "Daming Fenghua" shows us many vivid historical figures, of which Xie Jin is one of them. Although he did not appear much, but the plots such as writing the "Yongle Canon" and painting the "Tiger Map" to enlighten Zhu Di can show the great wisdom of this talent, so why did such a great talent end up miserable? Listen to JAL Jun's breakdown below.
First, what is the fate of Xie Jin?
Since we have talked about the tragic end, we must specifically say what the end of Xie Jin really looks like. The history books read:
"Gang Sui was drunk, buried in the snow, and died." Year forty-seven. From his family, his wife moved to Liaodong. ”
At that time, The Jinyi Wei commander ji gang asked Xie Jin to drink, and Xie Jin drank and drank drunk, and then Ji Gang buried Xie Jin in the snow, and soon after Xie Jin froze to death. If you think about it, it was so cold in Beijing that winter, and it was a really devastating feeling that it was heavy snow that buried you in the snow.
In this way, the 47-year-old talent Xie Jin died like this. After his death, his family property was confiscated, his wife's clan was also assigned to Liaodong, and it is really touching that a generation of talents fell to the current fate. So why did Xie Jin fall into such a fate?
Reason 1: Xie Jin offended the powerful Zhu Gaoxu
To tell the truth, from the "Great Ming Style", we can also see how fierce the dispute between the li concubines was at that time. Among them, the two factions of The Crown Prince Zhu Gaoxu and the Han King Zhu Gaoxu were even more inseparable. As a princeling, Xie Jin was inevitably involved in this war. In the midst of such a war, since Xie Jin wanted to help Zhu Gaoxu become crown prince, it was inevitable that he would offend Zhu Gaoxu and others.
For example, here's the thing:
"The emperor should not. Jinyu suddenly said, "Good Saint Sun." "Xuanzong also." Emperor Jawzhi. The prince was determined. Gao Xuyu was deeply hated. ”
When he was made crown prince, Zhu Di hesitated at first, until Xie Jin said that the emperor's grandson was very good. Then Zhu Di immediately changed his mind and made Zhu Gaozi crown prince. In this way, Zhu Gaoxu was jealous of Shangzhi Jin. Zhu Gaoxu was a man who told the truth with a very small belly, and since he was jealous and hated Jin, he would have to take revenge on him.
Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu often prides himself on being Li Shimin, and it has to be said that Zhu Gaoxu's position in Zhu Di's heart may really be like Li Shimin. The history books record:
"Gao Xu favors Yilong, and the rank of etiquette exceeds that of Concubine."
That is to say, Zhu Gaoxu was very much loved by Zhu Di, and even enjoyed more treatment than the prince. This is simply a copy of Li Shimin. Then Zhu Gaoxu's revenge came, and Zhu Gaoxu successively gave Xie Jin a variety of charges, as follows:
Xie Jin once leaked the contents of his chat with Zhu Di; Zhu Di was unfair when he was an examiner for the imperial examination; Zhu Di complained about the emperor...
As soon as these charges came out, he was immediately exiled to the Jiaozhou area. Not to mention being exiled, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, wanted to continue to repair the sword. This time, the crime was simply a great killing weapon, which was the most intolerable to the emperors of previous dynasties, that is:
"The king of Han spoke and went out, privately visited the prince, returned home, and had no one to pay tribute."
That is to say, Zhu Gaoxu sued Jin jin to see the prince privately, there was no emperor in his eyes, and he only wanted to seduce the prince. To know that no matter how Xie Jin is a princeling, his ultimate identity is still Zhu Di's courtier, And Zhu Di naturally cannot tolerate his own courtiers like this, so he put Xie Jin in a big prison, and finally Xie Jin died tragically.
Under Zhu Gaoxu's set of combined fists, Xie Jin had no ability to fight back.
Reason two: Xie Jin lost Zhu Di's favor
To tell the truth, the person who can finally decide the fate of Xie Jin is Still Zhu Di, as long as Zhu Di does not want Xie Jin to die, no matter what means Zhu Gaoxu uses, it is useless; but if Zhu Di wants to solve The Death, then There is absolutely no room for Xie Jin to live. This matter still depends on Zhu Di's meaning.
How did Xie Jin lose Zhu Di's favor step by step? When Xie Jin first defected to Zhu Di, Zhu Di once said something like this:
"The world cannot be without me for a day, and I cannot be relieved for a day."
From this sentence, we can see how Zhu Di's feelings for Xie Jin are. At that time, Zhu Di could be said to be obedient to Xie Jin's words, and therefore Zhu Gaozi's position as crown prince was shaky but never fell. To tell the truth, the emperor trusts a minister, not because of any personal friendship, but because the emperor feels that the minister has a use value or can please himself, and once the minister loses value, it is useless.
Later, Zhu Di wanted to send troops to Annam, but Xie Jin resolutely opposed it, and as a result, he went out to Annam and won a great victory. If you are Zhu Di, I think you also feel that Xie Jin is not very good at this time. Since then, the second son has emerged, and although Xie Jin has tried his best to maneuver in it, the impression left on Zhu Di is:
"The emperor's wrath is said to be separated from flesh and bones, and the grace is impregnated."
To tell the truth, Zhu Di drove away his eldest nephew in this life, against his father's wishes, his birth mother did not dare to recognize, for Zhu Di the most precious thing is the affection is the relationship with his sons, so Zhu Di wants to be as flat as possible as much as possible like Li Yuan. However, it gave Zhu Gaozi and Zhu Gaoxu the illusion that one thought that his father did not like himself, and the other that his father preferred himself, which was actually an illusion.
Therefore, Zhu Di did not allow others to mix with the last bit of affection between his father and son. However, at this time, Xie Jin still had to blend in, desperately saying that Zhu Gaoxu's was not good, which was not allowed in the eyes of Zhu Di, who cherished the love of father and son, so Xie Jin also gradually fell out of favor. It can be said that Xie Jin did not read Zhu Di's subtext, so much so that he offended Zhu Di.
Therefore, if I want to sum it up, on the one hand, Xie Jin was involved in the dispute between Li Yan and eventually became a victim of this struggle; on the other hand, although Xie Jin understood politics, Xie Jin did not understand the hearts of the people, and did not understand the last red line that could not be touched in Zhu Di's heart. "The dragon has reverse scales, and if it touches it, it will die", Zhu Di's red line is his own affection.
It is a pity that Xie Jin's generation of talents died such a tragic death, which is really emotional.
