After Xie Jin offended Zhu Di, he was thrown into Jinyiwei. In the 13th year of Yongle, Zhu Di looked at the list of "prisoners", saw Xie Jin's name, and asked: Is Xie Jin still alive? After hearing this, Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, immediately returned to the prison and pretended to discuss with Xie Jin: The emperor wants you to die, and I am trying to find a way to rescue you and escape from the prison!

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, all the officials of the past dynasties know this truth very well, but there is such a person, who thinks that with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, he can coax the emperor to be satisfied in this court, and his name is Xie Jin.
Although Xie Jin lacks some Taoism in dealing with the world, when it comes to composing poetry, he is a well-deserved talent.
During Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, he once gave Xie Jin a chance to include him in the palace in an attempt to use him for his own use.
But after a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang found that this Xie Jin was just a fledgling young man, who had been sought after for a long time, his feet had left the ground, and he was very impetuous, and he didn't think about the consequences at all. So, he sent it back to the prototype and sent it back to his hometown.
A few years later, Zhu Di launched the Battle of Jingjing and ascended to the throne.
Seeing this situation, Xie Jin stood up again and took refuge in Zhu Di, and Zhu Di had heard of Xie Jin's name before, so he tentatively incorporated it into his command to see how many abilities he had.
In the early days, Xie Jin learned the lesson of the beginning and was quite low-key, but as time went by, on a key issue, Xie Jin made a big mistake.
In 1405, Zhu Di at that time was worried about the ownership of the East Palace. So, he asked Xie Jin who he supported?
Seeing this, Xie Jin expressed his opinion without thinking about it, Xie Jin supported Zhu Gaochi, but before that, he did not find out Zhu Di's thoughts.
Because Zhu Di has always wanted to give the position of the East Palace to Zhu Gaochu, Zhu Di, who is superfluous by nature, can't help but suspect that there has been a relationship between Xie Jin and Zhu Gaochi?
Otherwise, why did he support Zhu Gaochi indiscriminately? What the ministers were most afraid of was the emperor's suspicion, and Xie Jin also touched Zhu Di's rebellion.
But if that's all it takes, forget it, but what no one expected was that when Zhu Di rewarded Zhu Gaoxu, Xie Jin was the first to jump out and raise objections.
This is simply a big rebellion, so it didn't take long for him to be put in prison by Zhu Di.
In those years, Xie Jin was in prison but never figured out what he did wrong, and after a long time, even Zhu Di himself forgot about the existence of Xie Jin.
In 1415, Zhu Di was looking through the list of prisoners, and suddenly saw Xie Jin's name on the paper, and he couldn't help asking, "Is Xie Jin still alive?"
When the Jinyi guard on the side heard this, he also guessed the meaning of the words, in fact, it seemed that Zhu Di wanted to put Xie Jin to death.
So, the brocade guard on the side slowly retreated, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes. Immediately, he came to the prison, found Xie Jin, and explained the matter.
But before sending Xie Jin on the road, Jinyi Wei Jigang even played a word game.
He claimed that he wanted to save his life, which made Xie Jin very useful, only to see Ji Gang take out a jar of good wine, fill a bowl, and pour it to Xie Jin, who is not good at drinking.
And Xie Jin really believed him, so he drank the wine, and then fell to the ground unconscious.
Seeing this, Ji Gang laughed out loud and sighed that the so-called great talent was nothing more than that.
Then, he patted the dust on his body, squatted down, carried Xie Jin on his back, and threw Xie Jin into the snowdrift in the cold winter wax moon.
By the next day, Xie Jin had been frozen into a "popsicle".
Not only that, Zhu Di's methods were far more vicious than people imagined, and after Xie Jin's death, his children were also exiled.
It can be said that it is precisely because Xie Jin does not know how to be a courtier that he will incur such a disaster.
