In the court fight, he killed the head of the Jinyi guard on the spot, and the violent brother of the Ming Dynasty has since become famous

Text: Lao Zhang is on the road

The Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty and emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Jingtai Emperor recalled many years later that the scene of madness is still deeply remembered: in the court, the crazy fights of officials with red eyes were full of red eyes, and the sounds of fists and feet, tearing and screaming were endless. The image of the leading elder brother Wang Zhen, whose eyes were spewing fire and the corners of his mouth was bleeding, was imprinted in Zhu Qiyu's mind from then on.

September 12, 1449 (Meisei Sect Masanori August 23, 2014), early morning.

No one expected that this seemed to be an ordinary early dynasty, which triggered the only court brawl in history and caused human life.

(Ming Yingzong)

In July of the fourteenth year of the Ming Dynasty (1449), the Wallachian Division also led the various departments and harassed the interior on a large scale. "The soldiers are very sharp, the Datong soldiers are defeated, and the castle outside the Saiwai is trapped."

The news of the defeat on the Datong front continued to reach Beijing, and Emperor Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen, instigated by Wang Zhen, prepared to march in person. Bingbu Shangshu Kuang and Shilang Yuqian "forcefully said that the Sixth Division should not be lightly out", and the group of ministers also went to the advice, but Ming Yingzong insisted on going his own way and insisted on personally marching.

On July 16, 1449, Emperor Mingying ordered his brother Zhu Qiyu (朱祁钰), the Prince of Qi, to stay in Beijing, and then set out from Beijing with Wang Zhen with an army of about 250,000 men (claimed to be 500,000). Gong Zhangfu of the British, Zhu Yong of chengguo, Shangshu Kuang of Bingbu, Wang Zuo of Hubu Shangshu, Cao Nai, Zhang Yi, and other civil and military officials escorted the conscription.

However, this time, the military and national events of the imperial conquest are like children's plays. The civil and military ministers who accompanied the conscription did not participate in the pre-military and political affairs, and all military and political affairs were arbitrarily decided by Wang Zhen. It is reported that even Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, had to kneel in front of Wang Zhen; Wang Zuo, the Hubu Shangshu King, asked the emperor to return to the army, and Wang Zhen ordered him to kneel in the grass until dark.

On August 1, 1449, the Ming army entered Datong. Before he could engage the Yexian army, he heard of the disastrous defeat in the front, so Wang Zhen asked the army to retreat. When he retreated, Wang Zhen wanted the emperor to pass through his hometown of Weizhou to "ride the first place" and show his might; he was afraid that the army would damage his pastoral crops and change the route of the army repeatedly, causing the soldiers to be tired.

On August 13, 1449, the Ming army retreated to Tumu Fort, and the Wallachian army pursued it, and the Ming army that rushed to fight was defeated. One-third of the more than 200,000 Ming troops were killed in battle, and half were vilified. Fifty-two of his subjects, including Gong ZhangFu of Taishi, Wang Zuo of Hubu Shangshu, and Shangshu Kuang of Bingbu, died in the melee.

Emperor Mingyingzong's guard general Fan Zhong was extremely angry and scolded, "I am condemning this thief for the whole world!" He picked up the hammer and smashed Wang Zhen's head. Emperor Mingyingzong had no hope of breaking through, his hands were tied and captured, and the gates of the capital were wide open.

During the change of Tumu Fort, Ming Yingzong was captured, and Wa La was aggressive. Suddenly, the government and the public were shocked, and everyone in the capital was in danger.

On August 18, 1449, the fourteenth year of orthodoxy (1449), Empress Sun pressed the front, and Zhu Qiyu presided over the imperial council to discuss countermeasures. Xu Huan (Xu Youzhen, who later participated in the change of the gate) of the Hanlin Academy, first proposed to move the capital to Nanjing to avoid the sword soldiers according to the changes in the heavens. Yu Qian immediately rejected this proposal, arguing that the imperial tombs, ancestral temples, and shrines were all in Beijing and could not be easily relocated; and he should take the Northern Song Dynasty as a lesson and accuse the southward migration of the country as a theory of national subjugation.

History of the Ming Dynasty (vol. 170): The attendant Xu Hengyan said that the stars had changed, when they moved south. Humble and sharp voice: "Those who move south can be cut off." The capital division of the world is fundamental, and if it moves, it will be a big thing, and song Nandu will not be seen alone! "The king is his word, and his word is his word."

The Ming Dynasty, at the insistence of Yu Qian and others, began to enter the countdown to the defense of Beijing.

On the morning of August 23, Zhu Qiyu, the king of the Jianguo Dynasty, summoned his courtiers to the imperial court to discuss the theme of preparing for the battle, how to defend the city of Beijing, and defeat the Wala army.

However, at the beginning of the early dynasty, the overseer Zhu Qiyu had just taken his seat, and the right capital Yushi Chen Yi was the first to leave the class, and shangqu requested that Wang Zhen's entire clan be killed, and said: "Zhen Pour out the dangerous clan society, please exterminate the clan to reassure the people." If they do not obey the commandment, the courtiers will not dare to retreat. ”

Chen Yishang sang at the same time, weeping bitterly, and the courtiers responded one after another. Zhu Qiyu, the King of Qi, was unprepared in his heart, felt a little tricky, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, so he ordered a change at a later time.

(Zhu Qiyu)

However, the group of ministers was unwilling to change the time, and the court protested for a while, which made Zhu Qiyu feel very frightened, he stood up and wanted to leave, and ordered the envoys to prepare to close the door. The crowd then rushed in and demanded that Zhu Qiyu immediately accede to their request, but Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to order Wang Zhen's family to go without him, and sent Jin Yiwei to command Ma Shun to go.

The ministers disagreed, saying that Ma Shun was also Wang Zhen's party and should send the right capital Yushi Chen Yi to go.

The eunuch who passed on the message at that time was Jin Ying. As soon as the hundred officials heard about the arrangement of the prison state, they wanted to fight the eunuch Jin Ying, who passed on the message, but he was very quick-witted and ran fast, and in the end it turned out that he had recovered a life.

However, there were people who did not have long eyes, and at this time, they all commanded Tongzhi and Jinyiwei to command the envoys, and Wang Zhen's nemesis Ma Shun stood up and rebuked the hundred officials, and he probably thought that he could still be a mighty blessing, and the result? The fuse of the explosive packet was lit.

Hubu suddenly stood up and took the lead in hitting Ma Shun at the imperial court, and opened his mouth to bite Ma Shun's face, scolding: "Ma Shun, your boy used to use Wang Zhen's majesty to do evil, and now that it is here, don't you know fear?" Wang Zhen scolded while raw and biting a few pieces of flesh from Ma Shun's body.

The courtiers followed up one after another, beating the falling water dog, and Ma Shun was killed immediately.

After that, the minister asked Zhu Qiyu for Wang Zhendang's feathers and Wang Chang, and the clever Jin Ying did not dare to find death again, so he quickly kicked the two out, needless to say, and then the two were beaten to death by the group of courtiers.

After killing the three men, some ministers hung three corpses on the Dong'an Gate, and soldiers and soldiers saw them and scrambled to beat them. Later, these ministers arrested Wang Zhen's nephew Jin Yiwei to command Wang Shan, kneeling at the imperial court, and the ministers spit on him.

Zhu Qiyu, the King of Qi, was terrified to see this scene and prepared to get up and leave. If Zhu Qiyu left, the matter of killing people in the court would be in big trouble. Regardless of whether these three people deserve to die for their sins, above the court, a group of court officials, without a word, fought and killed people, which is something that has never happened in eternity, where is Sven? Besides, even if these three people were to die for their sins, they would be beaten to death without going through the legal procedures, leaving the court and the Law of daming in a hurry?

At worst, such a thing is contempt for the imperial court, and should be punished with great disrespect; at worst, these people are reckless in people's lives, privately setting up public courts, knowing the law and breaking the law, and will not be tolerated in any era.

At this time, some people still maintained a sober mind, he was Yu Qian, a soldier waiter, and he knew that if this matter was not resolved now, it might leave a lot of trouble. At this time, the ministers naturally understood this, and according to the "Ming Chronicle, Volume 33": "The crowd is noisy, the class is chaotic, and there is no revival of the ceremony." Hundreds of officials beat and killed Shun, but Yi Wei was afraid and uneasy. ”

Yu Qian squeezed in front of Zhu Qiyu's body and exhorted: "Ma Shun and others deserve to die for their sins, and not killing them is not enough to vent the anger of the people." Moreover, the hearts of the ministers are social, and there are no other ideas, so please do not blame the ministers. ”

Yu Qian himself was also very embarrassed at that time, in order to pull Zhu Qiyu hard so that he could not take off, the sleeves of Yu Qian's clothes were torn open.

For this "Noon gate blood case", the Ming History Volume 170 records: "The King of Qi, Fang, regent of the dynasty, the courtiers asked the clan to punish Wang Zhen. And the Zhen Dang Ma Shun, the official of the Yuanling Dialect. So he gave the king a blow to the court, and the crowd followed. There was chaos in the chaoban, and the guards were fierce. The king was terrified, and the crowd went straight to the king, and the king proclaimed: "Obey the sins and die, don't let them be discussed." 'The multitude is determined. The sleeves of the humble robe were torn apart. ”

The Ming Chronicle, Volume 33, records this in more detail: "The king has repeatedly arisen and wants to return to the palace. The soldier waiter Yu Qianzhi gathered the king's clothes in front of him and said, "Your Highness stops." The head of the sin is not impossible to vent the anger of the people. And the hearts of the courtiers are community ears, and there is no other. "The king obeyed, and decreed that the hundred officials should be rewarded, and Ma Shun should die for his sins. Thank you. It was a day, and Lai Qian was calm. Humble row of kings into the king, the sleeves of the robe are cracked. ”

Yu Qian, in this middle circle, Zhu Qiyu had a step down and said: The decree of the order to reward the hundred officials to return to the matter, Ma Shun's sin should be killed, and he will no longer pursue the discussion.

The crowd hurriedly thanked them and then dispersed and left, and when the door was tucked on the left, the official Shangshu Wang directly shook Yu Qian's hand and sighed: "The time when the country depends on you." Today's situation, even a hundred Wang Zhi (the official Shangshu, the head of the group of retainers) can not handle it! ”

The Ming Shi Vol. 170 records: "Exiting the left gate, the official Shangshu Wang Zhi held a humble hand and sighed: 'The country is relying on the public ear. Although today, what can a hundred kings do! When it is, everyone from top to bottom relies on humility, and humility also resolutely takes the safety of the society as its own responsibility. ”

Wang Hu was well aware that he had a big deal on his stall, and the "Famous Mountains and Treasures" recorded that he first called his wife and children and solemnly entrusted the aftermath. Then he went into the palace in anger, only to receive his sins and die. Fortunately, Yu Qian immediately made a decision, and Zhu Qiyu issued a will not to pursue the actions of the courtiers, and the leading elder brother of this bloody case, Wang Hu, could be regarded as escaping a disaster.

After the Noon gate bloody case, Chen Yi was ordered by the supervision of the state to go to Wang Zhen and his henchmen Peng Deqing and other families, Wang Zhen's large amount of property was returned to the state treasury, Wang Zhen's nephew Wang Shan died in the market, and Wang Zhen's entire clan was beheaded.

After Empress Sun ordered Yu Qian to be the head of the army, and after cleaning up Wang Zhenyu's party, all the Ming officials returned to the preparations for the defense of the Beijing Division.

On August 28, the fourteenth year of orthodoxy (1449), the fifth day after the bloody case, Wang Wen wrote to Zhu Qiyu, hoping that he would take Jiangshan Sheji as the most important and inherit the unification. Under the command of Empress Sun, Emperor Liyingzong's two-year-old son Zhu Jianshen was made crown prince, and on August 29, Zhu Qiyu was proclaimed emperor, emperor for Jingtai, and Yaozun Ming Yingzong was made emperor.

With the occurrence of the "Noon gate blood case", The then 36-year-old Wang Hu, from obscurity to suddenly became popular all over the land of Daming, became an Internet celebrity of that era, and has since left a name in history. So much so that his later deeds are rarely mentioned again, and when it comes to him, people will think of his violent temper that killed Ma Shun on the spot in the court. Born two years before the "Noon Gate Blood Case", Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, wrote poems to worship this predecessor many years later: Wang Hu committed a foolish crime and sacrificed his life to a husband who was in danger.

Wang Hu (王竑), also spelled Gongdu, was born in 1413, the eleventh year of Yongle. Originally from Jiangxia, he was born in Hezhou, Gansu. Grandfather Wang Junqing, "Ming Shi Liechuan 65" recorded: "Zu Junqing, sitting in Shuhe Prefecture, wrote books. From this record, it can be known that Wang Hu's ancestors moved from the Central Plains to Hezhou because of their mistakes.

Wang Zhu's father Wang Zuo, Zi Liangfu, No. Naqi, Erudite Nengshi, Xie Jin who lived in Hezhou often interacted with him, and the family was based on Cheng Zhu Lixue.

The teacher who taught Wang Zhu's studies was the old master Zhou Fan of Hezhou, and the "Chronicle of Hezhou" said that this Zhou teacher was originally from Suzhou, and he also came from his father's army, and he had a lifetime of light fame and fortune to do learning, not only through the history of goodwill, the martial arts are more exquisite, and even medicine and architecture, are very accomplished, today a number of local city defense fortress sites, are from his design handwriting.

Under the guidance of famous teachers, Wang Hu improved his studies and practiced a martial art. His ideal is: Shi Dang Xi Ji Ji Zhu Yun! To be an official, you must be a hard-boned official like Zhu Yun of the Han Dynasty, who would rather not bend. The "Chronicle of Hezhou" records that Wang Hu was studying in the academy, and when he read the bridge section of Qin Juniper's traitorous country, he was furious, and in anger, he smashed the desk on the spot.

In the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty (1439), Wang Hu was admitted to the Jinshi, and the title of the golden list was inscribed, and from then on he stepped into the official field of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Hu first "observed the government" for several years, and the so-called "guanzheng" is probably similar to contemporary interns, not a formal national civil servant establishment. Shen Defu's "Compilation of Wanliye Ye" says that when Wang Hu was "observing the government" for seven years, an important resume was that he served in the palace of Zhu Qiyu, the king of Qi.

In the eleventh year of the Ming Dynasty (1446), Wang Hu was appointed to the post of Hubu Shizhong.

First, let's talk about how big an official is in the matter.

Since the birth of the pin official system, the seven pin officials have been called "sesame officials" in all dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, the Six Branches were the Seven Pin Officials, which are now a county-level official.

The so-called "six sections" are the abbreviations of the six ministries of officials, households, ceremonies, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and in the central organs, the role is second only to that of the cabinet, and in addition to the chief and deputy chiefs, the six ministries also have all given to the matter, the left and right to the matter and the matter to the matter. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was set up by the central government, and in March of the sixth year of Hongwu (1374), the rank of the product was set to seven products.

In addition to the above duties, there are other errands in the six sections, such as the township examination as an examiner, the examination as a fellow examiner, the examination as a temple examiner, and the temple examination as a receiving officer. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Six Sections were often sent to local inspections to supervise the governance of local officials and so on.

It is precisely because the six branches give small and large posts, so Wang Hu, who is the seven-pin sesame official, was eligible to participate in the early dynasty of the noon gate, and the record of the six branches in the Ming Shi Zhi guan zhi is as follows: "All major matters are discussed, the ministers are pushed, the prison is adjudicated, and the six disciplines are premeditated." ”

These seven pins participated in the deliberations of high-level officials as low-ranking officials in the affairs, often pinning down high-ranking officials, so as to balance the different interest groups and political forces in the DPRK and China, and ensure the feasibility of the imperial court's decision-making.

In the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty (1442), Empress Zhang died, and the "Three Yangs" who ruled the Yingzong Dynasty also died. In the years when the great eunuch Wang Zhen began to monopolize power, it was certain that Wang Zhen's upright personality could not be improved, so he "watched the government" for many years. The "History of Ming" said of him: "In the eleventh year of the household department, he was heroic and arrogant, and he was bold and bold. ”

It is said that every time Wang Zhen committed evil, as a speech official, Wang Zhen immediately jumped out and scolded. On the eve of Wang Zhen's northern expedition against Emperor Yingzong, the army was about to leave, and he did not change his original intention and chased after Wang Zhen.

Because of this, Wang Hu staged a great drama of all martial arts on the spot in the court hall during the early morning pilgrimage at the noon gate on August 23.

After the Noon Gate Bloody Case, Wang Hu was pardoned by the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu, and was promoted by Yu Qian to the position of Du cha yuan (都察院) the imperial history of the capital.

According to the Ming dynasty system, Bingbu Shangshu could not directly command the army. In order to defend Beijing, Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty issued a special edict granting Yu Qian the title of "Admiral of all battalions of military horses", and ordered all battalion generals in Beijing to accept his restraint. Any general who disobeys the military order has the right to behead first and play later

Yu Qian undertook the heavy responsibility of commanding the defense of Beijing with full authority, and Yu Qian actively prepared for the battle, promoted a number of talented generals, arranged troops, and strictly controlled the nine gates.

Wang Hu commanded the defenders and guarded the north gate. It is equivalent to rising from the seven pins to the four pins in one breath, "three levels in a row", "the northern gate of the admiralty", and taking on the defense of the most important north gate of the capital.

After the fierce defense of Beijing began, Shi Heng and Wang Hu's north gate defenders became the most powerful force in the Ming Dynasty's defensive forces. In particular, during the Battle of Tucheng outside the Desheng Gate, when the exhausted Ming Dynasty defenders fought until the common people were carrying bricks and tiles to the city to fight, it was Wang Hu who killed in time and attacked the Wala army inside and outside, and won the most difficult bloody battle in the defense of Beijing.

After the end of the defense of Beijing, the edict ordered Wang Hu to guard Juyongguan together with The Commander Xia Zhong and others. After Wang Hu arrived in office, he selected soldiers and horses, repaired the pass, and impeached incompetent generals, so that the barrier had a new look. "Shuzhi, Jian Shima, Jie Ersai, impeach the generals who are not in office, and the barriers are new." (Ming Shi Liechuan 65)

During the Jingtai period, Wang Hu successively served as the governor of Caoyun, and concurrently served as the governor of Huai'an, Yangzhou, Luzhou, Xuzhou, and the second prefecture of Hezhou, and also managed the two Huai salt taxes, and the left deputy capital Yushi. In the Ming Dynasty, as the governor of Caoyun, he was also the governor of yanzheng, and Wang Hu was the only one for three hundred years. In the Jingtai dynasty, Wang Hu was arguably the most powerful magistrate.

However, the world is unpredictable, and the situation is even more unpredictable. In the early morning of the 17th day of the first month of the eighth year of Jingtai (1457), the change of the door took place. On the day of Emperor Ming's restoration, he arrested Yu Qian and Wang Wen, a scholar of the university, and imprisoned a number of ministers and eunuchs. Zhu Qiyu was then deposed and placed under house arrest at the Yong'an Palace in The Inner Region. A month later, on February 17 (19th), Zhu Qiyu died, the cause of death is unknown.

Emperor Mingyingzong was restored, Yu Qian was killed, and first changed Wang Hu to Zhejiang to participate in politics, and a few days later, Shi Heng and others posthumously discussed Wang Hu's beating of Ma Shun, and Wang Hu was removed from his name and appointed as the administrator of Jiangxia.

After half a year, Emperor Mingying's Zhu Qizhen saw Wang Hu's performance in the palace, saw that there was a sentence in it, "Upright ethics, faithfulness and righteousness", and deeply felt it, and only then issued an edict ordering officers and soldiers to send Wang Hu back to his hometown to live.

Nearly five years later, in the fifth year of Tianshun (1461), the Mongol lord of the Halashen (Qaraqin) clan invaded Zhuanglang, and because of Li Xian's recommendation, Zhu Qizhen used Wang Zhen to restore the original official, and ordered him and the military attendant Bai Gui to "counselor military affairs".

In the first month of the following year, Wang Hu and Feng Zong repelled Bo Lai at the Hongyazi River. Bai Gui and the others returned to Beijing, but Wang Hu remained in the town. It was only in the winter that he was recalled. In the spring of the following year, he also ordered him to be the governor of Caoyun and patrol Huai'an and Yangzhou. When the Huai people heard that Wang Hu was coming again, they cheered and greeted him for hundreds of miles.

On the sixteenth day of the eighth month of Tianshun (February 23, 1464), Emperor Yingzong died, and Emperor Mingxianzong of Chenghua ascended the throne.

However, in less than a year, Wang Hu, who was in the limelight, resigned his official position and returned home in September of the first year of Chenghua.

This time it was because Wang Hu had a conflict with Li Xian, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Li Xian was also a famous courtier of the Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Qizhen personally conquered Wallachia at the instigation of Wang Zhen, the official Shilang who was supposed to accompany him at that time was on leave due to illness, and was subordinated by Li Xian, the official Wenxuan Shilang. In the "Civil Change", the Ming army was completely destroyed, and Li Xian escaped and returned to Beijing.

During the Jingtai Dynasty, Li Xian was made the Right Attendant of the Bingbu, later transferred to the Right Attendant of the Hubu, and soon changed to the Right Attendant of the Bureaucracy.

After the "change of the door", Zhu Qizhen was reinstated, and Li Xian was appointed as a Hanlin scholar, and he was placed on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion and participated in the pre-flight service with Xu Youzhen.

Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen fought for power, and Zhu Qizhen trusted Li Xian, which also played a great role in inhibiting Shi Heng and others.

In the fourth year of Tianshun (1460), Shi Heng was killed for his crime, and Zhu Qizhen asked Li Xian for details of the "change of the door". Li Xian said: "It is okay to say that it is okay to greet the driver, but how can the term 'grab the door' be shown to future generations?" The heavenly throne was originally His Majesty's, and it would not be smooth to say that it was good to seize fame. And at that time, thanks to success, in case the opportunity was revealed first, Shi Heng and others were not sorry, but they did not know where to put His Majesty. ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he suddenly woke up and said, "Yes." Li Xian added, "If The King of Qi (Zhu Qiyu) is really seriously ill and the Qunchen have asked His Majesty to restore the throne, how can they use this disturbance?" How can these people get rewarded for their merits? Where does the bribery come from? The old ministers are still in office, so why are there killings and demotions, so that they are warned by the heavens? The "I Ching" says that 'the founding of the country inherits the family, and the villain does not use it', which refers to this kind of thing. Zhu Qizhen said, "Yes." ”

Subsequently, Zhu Qizhen issued an edict that from now on the word "seize the door" should not be used in the chapters, and that all the more than 4,000 people who had taken the risk of meritorious service would be eliminated.

In the fifth year of Tianshun (1461), Zhu Qizhen followed Li Xian's advice and began to use Wang Zhu as a "counselor for military affairs" to meet The Imperial Guard.

After Emperor Mingxianzong Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, because the military department cleared up the yellow officials, Wang Hu and Li Xian had a conflict, resulting in Wang Hu resigning and returning to Tian.

The yellow sticker system, also known as sticking yellow and betting yellow. It is the system of correcting errors in official documents pioneered by the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Ye Mengde wrote in his "Shilin Yan Language": "The Tang system, the edict has been changed, and it is pasted on paper, which is called yellow. Cover the edict with yellow paper, then the paste is also yellow paper also. "The edicts of the Tang Dynasty were written on yellow paper, and when there were errors in official documents that needed to be corrected, the same yellow paper was used to cover the places where there were errors. This system has been used throughout the ages.

In the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the correction of official documents and the wrong name of sticking yellow, personnel documents were also called "sticking yellow", that is, the resume of officials, which was the basis for evaluating, appointing, and sealing officials. There are two types of stickers, huang, and yellow, which change accordingly with the change of official positions.

Emperor Xianzong ordered the Military Department to clean up the Posting Huang Lack of Officials, and the Bingbu Shangshu Wang Hu and the ministers recommended the revision of Yue Zheng and Zhang Ning, but they were opposed by the first assistant Li Xian, who not only opposed the appointment, but also sent these two men to serve as foreign officials, and abolished the example of the courtiers.

Although Li Xian had a recommendation for himself, Wang Hu was still not convinced, and he said indignantly, "Can I still sit here?" "Immediately call the sick and ask for a retreat." After Wang Hu left, the chancellor recommended no less than a hundred of his sonatas, and Emperor Mingxianzong never agreed.

Wang Hu lived at home for twenty years and died in December of the first year of Hongzhi (1488) at the age of 75.

There is an anecdote that fully demonstrates Wang's courtesy: Wang's living room was named "戆庵". After returning home, it was changed to "Xiu'an". He closed his doors, and few people in the township could see him. At that time, the official Shangshu Li Bing was also deposed and returned home, going in and out of the alley every day to talk and laugh with the old. When Wang Zhu heard this, he said, "'Why can't the minister take care of self-love?' Hearing this, he also laughed and said, "The so-called minister, how can he be a sage who is a song of a foreign country and a good temperament?" 'When it is called twice. ”

What Wang Zhen meant was that Li Zhizhong was a great minister, so how could he not cultivate self-love and have fun with the villains of the city? Li Bing's views are different from his, is it different from his hometown, advocating correction and agitation is a sage? Although the two had different views, they were both praised by the people of the time.

It can be seen from here that Wang Hu has not been in the fashion since his youth, and he is also an inappropriate person. In such an era, it can be said that it is rare.
