1. Hanging crown seal
On september 1609, in the thirty-seventh year of the Wanli Calendar (1609), on the day of the 75-year-old left deputy capital of the Inspectorate, Yushi Zhanyi, who was acting in charge of the Affairs of the Inspectorate, placed the sealed Seal of the Inspectorate and the hat of the Imperial Guard on the main hall, and let the retinue catch a carriage and quietly leave the city of Beijing.
On the same day, the officials of the Inspectorate found that the main leader was missing, and immediately went to the emperor after understanding the reason. In fact, as early as eleven days ago, Zhan Yi had sealed the Great Seal and stopped going to work. Yushi Xu Zhaokui played: "The tang official Zhan Yiyin has been sealed, and the day when wan ignores the matter, it will be neglected again, and it will be decided to resign in place of his majesty, and to take the MingChen Festival, wan Wei will experience his feelings early, and listen to his going, and please." There was no response to this letter to the Emperor, who was already a notorious emperor for neglecting the throne, and had not been in the early dynasty for twenty years since the eighteenth year of the Wanli Calendar. In his opinion, officials impeached and slandered each other at every turn, which upset him, and it was best to ignore them, and the huge bureaucracy had its own operating mechanism, and anyone who left it could follow. However, this time was different, Zhan Yi was really gone, and there was no one in charge of the Inspectorate.
The Ming Dynasty Inspectorate was the highest organ in charge of discipline in the country, and its chief official, Zuo Du Yushi Zheng Erpin, had the same status as the Six Shangshu and was also the Ninth Secretary. Although the position of chief official had been vacant for four years, and now even the acting chief official was gone, the matter was very important, and the emperor finally gave instructions: "Zhan Yi is in the ninth column, and he is the minister of the state, but he does not wait for the clear will, seals out of the city without authorization, cleanses himself and forgets righteousness, and hangs around with a crown belt." The Chief Gendarmerie is waiting for the order. Zhan Yi was one of the Nine Secretaries, and he sealed out of the city without waiting for the will of the Emperor, although it was a little disagreeable, the evaluation given by the emperor was "clean and forgetful", so let him go, keep his identity, and go home to stay, as for who will take over the chief inspector, or wait for the holy will of the emperor.
After receiving the emperor's instructions, Zhan Yi was relaxed, and he could finally go home with peace of mind. Zhan Yi was the first person to resign from the ming Dynasty without waiting for the holy will to hang up the crown and seal himself. Thereafter, in October 39, Ding Di, Hubu Shangshu Zhao Shiqing went away by worship; in September 1940, Li Tingji, the Rebbe Shangshu Li Tingji, went away by himself; in July 41, Sun Wei, the head of the Bingbu Shangshu Governorate, went away; in September Gengchen, the official Shangshu Zhao Huan worshiped shu himself; in August 42, Sun Shenxing, the right attendant of the Rebbe, went away by worshiping himself, thus causing a series of official earthquakes. So many senior officials resigned one after another, but the Wanli Emperor was not angry, and allowed them to serve and enjoy their old age in peace, which was a world away from his grandfather Jiajing, who was a frequent court official, and Chongzhen, the grandson of the suspicious and suspicious minister who often wrongfully killed the chancellor.
2. Four years of service
In the more than four years since he presided over the work of the Inspectorate, although Zhan Yi was old and heavy-handed and cautious in his words, he was indeed stabbed in the back and fidgeted under the circumstances of the constant fierce party struggle in the imperial court.
In the Ming Dynasty system, the highest chief of the Inspectorate was the left and right capital Yushi of Zhengerpin, the deputy of Zhengsanpin was the left and right capital Yushi, and the left and right Yushi of Zhengsipin were generally stationed in the capital and presided over the affairs of the court, while the one with the right was added to the title of governor or inspector, inspecting the localities, and becoming a party prince. In addition, there are a total of one hundred and ten people in the imperial history of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, all of whom are seven pin titles, and they are in a humble and powerful position, patrolling on behalf of the Heavenly Son, stationed in various places, supervising local officials, and can be expected to play a role. In the late Ming Dynasty, the style of speech was very dramatic, and different political factions had the help of imperial history. Even the slightest movement of large and small officials can become the handle of political enemies, so that the court is fiercely fighting, and you come and go, often fighting lip service. Some officials who can really do practical things are often tired of coping with the impeachment of the imperial historians and cannot be bothered.
Although Zuo Du Yushi was the chief of the Imperial History, those Imperial Historians with their respective factional backgrounds were not afraid of offending shangguans. In the thirty-third year of the Wanli Dynasty (1605), Zuo Du Yushi Wenchun was impeached by Yushi because of his consistent feud with Shoufu Shen in the case of the false King of Chu, so he requested his resignation. In August of that year, after eleven resignations, the emperor finally agreed to Wen Chunzhishi and at the same time put the left deputy capital Yushi Zhan Yi in charge of the affairs of the yuan.
After Zhan Yi became the acting leader, the first priority he faced was the shortage of personnel and the difficulty of carrying out the work. In March and July of the thirty-fourth year (1606), he twice requested to be replaced by Yushi, and in the middle of the recital, he urgently said the seriousness of the situation, "the lack of supervision in the accompanying capital, the lack of supervision in the autumn examination, the lack of patrol salt in the tea and horse patrol class, the lack of patrol salt in Guangxi, the lack of patrol in the provinces, the ministers in Taiwan such as the morning star, the incorruptible, begging for social planning, urgently need to be selected, and eliminate chaos." "But they are all left unreported."
In September of the thirty-fourth year of the Wanli Calendar (1606), he was impeached by Wang Ruolin from the Li Ke. At that time, the Nanjing Household and Gong Erbu lacked Shangshu, the Rites Department lacked Waiters, Tingtui's former Shangshu Xu Yuantai, Guizhou Inspector Guo Zizhang, and Gu Zhan Shi Fan Shuojing. Tingtui was a system for selecting new officials when there was a vacancy in the case of ministers, and two or three officials above the three pins in the capital and officials such as Jiuqing, Yu du Yushi, and matsuri were publicly recommended and reported to the emperor for use.
However, this personnel appointment was stirred up by Wang Ruolin. He said, "Three people are not enough, and those who lift them cannot be selfless." Please do not preside over by one person from this court, and everyone will make a promise. It is advisable to raise the name of the Lord and restore the method of sitting consecutively with the ancestors. He specifically mentioned that "Xu Yuantai, who was formerly the Shangshu of the Nanjing Punishment Department, when he was in charge of Sichuan, he was unauthorized and disorganized, hid defeat as a merit, and was thanked for his resignation. ”
At that time, it had been twelve years since Xu Yuantai, the Shangshu of the Nanjing Punishment Department, had returned home. At that time, he served as the governor of Sichuan, quelled the rebellion of ethnic minorities, and made a contribution for a while, but he was repeatedly impeached, so he resigned in anger, and did not expect to mention the old matter again twelve years later. Yuan Tai and Zhan Yi are the same township, similar in age, respectively, the government students and county students, the middle soldier time Yuan Tai is six years earlier, the two are in different places, the intersection is not much.
The recommendation of Yuan Tai's comeback was proposed by Zhan Yi, but it left a tongue for others, so Zhan Yi took the initiative to resign. The emperor replied: "Zhan Yi is selfless, there is no need to blame, in the future he will push, the officials should compromise the public opinion, the face of the evaluation, attributed to the most dang, Fang Xu neglected the name, do not have to take the painting promise, or not his person, the science and road officials immediately corrected, do not wait for the point before saying, have guessed the payment, in the body of the grand duke of the court." Wanli's approval was fair, and he first affirmed that Zhan Yi was a loyal subject, had no selfish intentions in the election, and did not have to resign. What Wang Ruolin said is also reasonable, and in the future, when the officials encounter the court, they should fully absorb the opinions of all parties, study and mature, and then report the list. Wang Ruolin, as a section official with the obligation to supervise, should raise it in a timely manner in the process of courting, and should not wait until it is determined, so that the officials are suspicious of each other and seriously damage the image of the imperial court.
Portrait of the Wanli Emperor in imperial dress
Wave after wave, wave after wave. In the first month of the thirty-fifth year of the Wanli Calendar (1607), local officials were about to come to Beijing to assess the hajj, and this work had formed a system since Hongwu, and the foreign officials had a three-year dynasty, and the dynasty was in chen, shu, ugly, and unborn. The appraisal is presided over by the officials and the Inspectorate, and the grades are divided into three grades: competent, ordinary, and incompetent, of which there are eight categories of incompetence and greed, coolness, impetuousness, incompetence, old age, illness, resignation, and imprudence, and are given punishments such as zhishi, demotion, idleness, and serving the people. In the early Ming Dynasty, the foreign inspection system was still able to follow the name and responsibility, and there were rewards and penalties, but in the Wanli era, as the administration of officials became more and more corrupt, the reward and punishment of the wrong evidence became more and more serious, and the practice of asking for bribes in the assessment was prevalent.
To this end, on the afternoon of November 34 (1606), Zhan Yi sang: "During the period of the Curse, there is no responsibility to appoint the officials and the six branches and thirteen provinces of the Nine Qings, and each of the six branches and thirteen ways of the Nine Qings, each strictly refuses to give the will, and there are secret investors, that is, from the straight correction, then the foreign official Anken himself will be punished by the law." At the critical time, it is necessary to issue a notice and strictly enforce discipline, and the emperor's approval is also very pragmatic: "Giving the will to apply for forgiveness, the rate has become a set of old things over the years, this time the ministry is strictly investigated, there are still former violators, small ones are sent, large ones are participating in the music, and the period is expected to encourage the name of each person, a clear road, no need to because of bad habits, big bad morale." "Wanli believes that the ban on bribery and bribery has been issued not once or twice, and this time the Inspectorate must strictly investigate and visit, find problems, take the small ones directly, and present the big ones to me, so as not to spoil the atmosphere because of bad rules and bad habits. At this time, both the officials and the Inspectorate were in charge of the work, and the officials Yang Shiqiao and Zhan Yi asked the emperor to appoint a top leader as soon as possible on the grounds that the matter of the inspection of the officials Was urgent and important, but they did not report it.
At the end of the month, officials from all over the world arrived in the capital one after another. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor feasted on hundreds of officials, and the banquets were staggered. After three rounds of drinking, some Beijing officials began to accept the books sent by the magistrates, so the banquet became noisy. All these clever Wanli Emperors saw in their eyes, and he said to the left and right, "These ministers, only Yang Shiqiao, Li Tingji, and Zhan Yiqing can be remembered." "Ming Dynasty scholars and doctors befriended each other, and liked to engrave their poems into books, wrap them in square towels and handkerchiefs and send them to people, called bookpas. During the Wanli period, the bookpa has evolved into a means of bribery, the surface is to send books, but in fact, it contains silver tickets, which not only has no trace of bribery, but also appears "elegant". The Wanli Emperor was well aware of this bad habit, and in this era of the whole people's pursuit of profit, even the emperor who was the son of heaven often worried about money, let alone those ministers? However, Yang, Li, and Zhan were still upright and incorruptible. At that time, these three were all acting as deputy directors of the affairs of the headquarters, yang Shiqiao and Li Tingji were officials and ceremonial attendants, respectively. Later, Li Tingji became a cabinet minister, but Yang Shiqiao and Zhan Yi have not been promoted, and people feel sorry for them.
At the end of the pilgrimage, the Qingming sacrifice was imminent, and the cost of the sacrifice needed to be supervised by the imperial history, in previous years, eighteen imperial historians were responsible for this matter, and later reduced to nine, and now there are only two or three people available in the imperial history of Beijing, so Zhan Yi asked for a supplementary staff: "In the present Qingming period, the tomb sacrifice is used to sweep the amount, and the imperial history is monitored." Check the story, use the eighteen members of the imperial history, the number of members reduced to nine, now in the Capital Imperial History in addition to the sick registration, only two or three people, no one can respond, the Zen Ceremony is not only lacking, it is advisable to quickly make up for it. ”
The day before Zhan Yi went to The Shu, the official Ke gave Xiong Mingxia the matter to also go to the Shu Yu Gong Hall to test the lack of people: "The previous month obscure day wen will push the Great Governor to gather the subordinates, only three waiters, one Dali Qing, four people, the Hall of Holy Pilgrimage, why lack people to be? In the present court trial period, the minister read the old fixed number of the official, checked the previous year's Dengke record, there are still two university scholars, four Shangshu, one left capital imperial history, but now Sima Jiu has been Dumen, Si Nong has not yet seen the matter, a cabinet minister, the unknown fruit is not going to the dynasty, if the cabinet minister Zhengqing has not yet come out, and the trial record of the list is passed down to the world, recorded in the annals of history, in order to hang on to the hundredth generation, what is the scene today? "The examination of the imperial examination and the Qingming sacrifice are all major state events, the shortage of officials is so serious, the cabinet is only Zhu Geng, the seven secretaries only have Zhao Shiqing and a Shangshu, and the rest are deputy acting, how is such a good scene?" However, the Divine Sect still did not reply.
On the day after the Qingming Dynasty, the officials finally determined the officials of the temple examination, namely Zhu Geng, the hubu shangshu Zhao Shiqing, the official left attendant Yang Shiqiao, the right attendant of the ceremonial department Yang Daobin, Huang Ruliang, the right attendant of the punishment department, Shen Yingwen, the right attendant of the ministry, Liu Yuanlin, the deputy capital Yushi Zhan Yi, the secretary of Dali Temple, Zheng Jizhi, Zhan Shi Wu Daonan, Zhuang Tianhe, and eleven others. At this time, according to the court examination day, there were only three days left, fortunately, the court examination was successfully completed, and a total of 298 jinshi were decided, and the first three people, Huang Shijun, Shi Fenglai, and Zhang Ruitu, all later entered the cabinet and held important positions. After the palace examination, Zhu Geng, the first assistant of the cabinet, once again requested that the two important posts of Shangshu and Zuo Du Yushi be filled first, but they were still not approved.
On the fifth day of September, Zhan Yi went to the top again, involving the appointment of the inspector of salt, "The salt class, the border salary is urgently needed, and the two Huai classes are anxious to change the lu, according to its audit, thanks to the patrol, the current patrol salt royal history is long lacking, with the management of the imperial history Huang Ji on the restoration of the patrol, so the governor lacks officials, the class amount is reduced by more than 700,000 yuan, and the nine sides are waiting to be fed, what will happen?" The ministers and others were poor, and had no choice but to ask for a change of the difference, so they reported to Shanxi with xuanda to report the full yushi Qiao Yunsheng to shanxi, and to shanxi to report the manchu yushi Kang Piyang to change the difference between the two Huai, the list of names needed to be ordered, day after day, sincerely remembering the importance of military needs, the urgency of the national lessons, the important matters of sealing the territory, and no one should be blamed, and it is advisable to order all officials to comply with the restrictions on going to their posts. "This time, the emperor approved that the salt class is a major matter related to the national economy and people's livelihood and the security of the frontier, and the salt tax cannot be raised, and the border salary cannot be paid. Zhan Yi has already drawn up the personnel, so let's play it on time.
The new Inspector of the Two Huai Dynasties, Yushi Kangpiye, a native of LingXian County, Shandong, was born as a scholar and a cadre. While supervising the salt affairs of the two Huai in Yangzhou, he also squeezed out time to conduct academic research, "Quan Shu Yilin, Jia and Shi Class". He presided over the engraving of the 86 volumes of "Re-editing the Outer Collection of Mr. Dongpo" and 1 volume of "Su Shi's Self-Written Chronology", which were well-calibrated and became a rare book sought after by later generations. In May of the thirty-sixth year (1608), he asked the imperial court to release "those who had accumulated thirty-five years of silver into their third, and after sixteen years, the remaining salt and silver were suspended, so that the Zhao imperial court would be lenient to the people, and the Yuguo Jibian would be willing", and he also asked for the dredging of the salt river, all of which were allowed. However, the fat shortage of the two Huaiyan governments did lead to jealousy, and Kang Piyang was impeached less than a year after taking office. In September 1936, Bing Ke gave Hu Jiadong a reprimand for "a great traitor and a net, please beg and rob him". However, the Wanli Emperor did not reply.
The Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty
In the same month, Zhan Yi was also impeached by Zhou Yongchun from Li Ke: "DianFu killed in vain, according to the minister Zhou Maoxiang, he did not use white and simple to list, drowned in his post and deceived the king, and could not stay in the place for a day." Is the left deputy capital Yushi Zhan Yi qu cunning human feelings, afraid of worse, the heart of the king has been ashed, the door of bribery is like a city, can still be like embroidery above? "This letter is vicious, and how did Zhan Yi have ever reported that inspector Yushi Zhou Maoxiang did not report the incident of the Yunnan Inspector's vain killing of the false gong?" Saying that Zhan Yiqu was selfish and afraid of mobilizing yushi was even more out of thin air, Zhan Yi repeatedly requested the appointment of imperial history that was lacking in quotas in various places and transferred yushi who had completed his term of office, and these emperors and cabinets all knew about it; there was also saying that Zhan Yi accepted bribes and that if the court was in the city, it was even more vicious and slanderous, and he did everything to the extreme. The emperor ignored this omission. The Ming Dynasty set up six departments to give affairs, commanding attendants, slandering, supplementing gaps, collecting remains, reviewing, and sealing and refuting edicts, refuting the chapters played by the Hundred Divisions, supervising the six divisions, impeaching hundred officials, independent of the six ministries and the Inspectorate, and being called the Ke Dao Officials together with the Imperial History, although it was only seven products, but it was humble and weighty.
Then, wang Yuanhan of the engineering department gave another omission, impeaching the four ministers, including Zhan Yi: "In recent years, the changes in yi, the water, the earth, and the heavens, please urgently dismiss the auxiliary ministers Zhu Geng, the cardinal Xiao Daheng, the xianchen Zhan Yi, and strictly advise the planner Zhao Shiqing, saying that the great changes are not within this tianming, earthquake, flood, and Yidi, and the officials are as ordered, laughing and cursing people, diligently and richly, aging is getting stronger, not knowing enough, not knowing the shame, and the changes in the big and small ministers are also." One person listens to what he says, the whole country hears it, the people of the world hear it, and even the heavens and the earth complain that it is also blatantly listening, and the change of the upper intention in recent days is also the change of the upper intention, and the change of the Sichen worker, so it is said that it is difficult to save the holy will and the change of the minister, and the change of the flood of heaven and earth. The rhetoric is even more intense, saying that the worse and worse situation in the world is caused by the old and corrupt ministers and the incompetence of the ministers. Zhu Geng, the first assistant of the cabinet, Xiao Tycoon of Shangshu Of the Army, and Yushi Zhan Yitong, the left deputy capital, should be dismissed, and Zhao Shiqing, the head of the hubu Shangshu, should be dismissed, and Zhao Shiqing, the head of the hubu shangshu, should be made to reflect well. Although the Wanli Emperor still ignored this, but the crowd of people shoveled gold, destroyed bones, Zhu Geng and others resigned to the emperor, the emperor still either stayed in the middle or did not allow it.
In November of that year, Zhu Geng, the first assistant who had not been approved for more than twenty consecutive begs, died in office at the age of seventy-four. Zhan Yi was deeply disturbed by this: Elder Zhu Ge was only one year older than me, and he himself had passed the age of ancient rarity, so he couldn't just die in the capital. Acting for three years, he was unable to be promoted to a full post, nor was he transferred to a full post, and half of the imperial history in various places was lacking, and he repeatedly showed his shortcomings: "The difference between the world is only more than thirty places, and now it is missing half, and the nine sides are Liaodong, Xuanda, and Gansu are all forced to be neighbors and are important places in Pingfan, while the tea horses in Shaanxi and the salt class in Hedong are all as anxious as Liaodong, and the provinces are lacking in Huaiyang, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Yunnan, while Guangxi has been lacking for four years, and Shaanxi and Guizhou have not waited for a long time." This country has not been seen for more than two hundred years. Beg for the examination of the sparse, ordered the royal history to be sent. "Important work such as border defense and salt classes cannot be effectively supervised, many imperial histories have no substitutes after their term of office expires, their own superiors are always left unreported, the work is becoming more and more difficult to do, and the energy can no longer keep up.
After a year of such trembling, in May of the thirty-seventh year of the Wanli Calendar (1609), Kang Piyang, whom he recommended, was impeached again. This time, the relevant departments determined that Kang was guilty and should be punished. However, Zhan Yi regretted cai, regardless of his own safety, defended him, saying that he had been repeatedly impeached, depressed and ill, and had already made a resignation, so he asked for exemption from punishment and blamed him to go home and think about it. Wan Li approved Zhan Yi's request and did not cure Kang Piyang of his sins. After Kang Piyang returned to his hometown, he taught his son to teach art and sort out local cultural classics until Chongzhen died at the age of 81 in the fifth year of Chongzhen (1632).
Kang Piyang went home, and Zhan Yi was homesick. Thinking that he was born in a humble background, with wisdom and hard reading, he passed the examination to become a soldier, starting from Zhixian County, the eunuch sea has been up and down for forty years, and now he has nine official residences, three generations of Enrong, and there is nothing worth nostalgia for.
Fourth, the eunuch sea has been floating and sinking for forty years
In the fourteenth year of Jiajing (1535), Zhan Yi was born in a family of craftsmen in Ying'en Street, outside the north gate of Xuancheng County, Ningguo Province. The Zhan family's ancestral home is Wuyuan County, Huizhou. During the Reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song, there were yuan courtiers who moved to Xuancheng, had two sons, and the eldest son, Youxiang, Jinshi and the first, moved to Jing County. The second son, Youduan , a scholar of Xuanzhou Zhizhou Lü Haowen , Zhenghe Bingwu Township Gong Xieyuan , served as a lieutenant of Xi'an County, Quzhou, and died during the defense of Qifang rebellion in Jiande County. Sun Qingshou, the tenth Duke of Youduan, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, lived in Kuixing Lane in the city, made a living from handicrafts, and was incorporated into the book of craftsmen. The third son of The Duke of Qingshou, Zhan Zhi, moved to Ying'en Street outside the North Gate, for Zhan Yi Taigaozu, Gao Zu Jingxiang, Great-Grandfather Zhonggui, Zu Xuan, Father Youxiang, five children, Zhan Yixing four. Zhan Yiyuan with Huang Shi, Feng Shuren, died early. Following the Zhang clan, Feng Shuoren, xiao Zhan Yi was 25 years old, like a man, when Zhan Yi went to Beijing, she stayed at home, presided over domestic affairs, successively married three sons, married two daughters, and was in good order.

In the first year of Longqing (1567), the 32-year-old Zhan Yi was cited in the Ying Tianfu Township Examination, and in the fifth year of Longqing (1571), he entered the army and 182 of the third class of the Ting Examination, and gave the same Jinshi birth, and was awarded the title of Xinjian Zhi County in Jiangxi, and had a Huizheng in office. In the fourth year of the Wanli Calendar (1576), he was promoted to the post of Nanjing official. The young Zhan Yi was straight to Geng jie, and he was righteous and neglected to speak. At this time, the star changes that began in the sixth year of Longqing had not stopped, and the astrological changes were considered to be the warning of the heavens to the mortal world in ancient times, so Zhan Yi and Yushi Chen WangDao jointly signed a "revision of the government to breathe the heavenly vigilance" to pick up the Hubu Shangshu Yin Zhengmao, the Baoding Inspector Meng Zhong, the Dali Temple Secretary Song Yiwang, the Taichang Temple Shaoqing Fang Jiugong, and the Nanjing Hongxu Temple Qing Wang Qiao Shi.
After that, in the case of zhang juzheng, the first assistant, the officials in Nanjing all jointly wrote the song shu to retain, but Zhan Yi insisted on not signing the song shu, saying: "The matter is a regular matter, and I cannot flatter the prime minister to ridicule the future generations." When Ju Zheng returned home to complete the funeral, the officials in Nanjing jointly asked Shoufu to return to the court as soon as possible, and Zhan Yi objected, saying: "Shoufu originally had no intention of keeping the three-year mourning period at home. Zhan Yi was admitted to Zhang Juzheng when he was the chief examiner, equivalent to his student, and the student opposed the teacher's affection, and Zhang Juzheng deeply regretted this. Later, Zhan Yi was transferred to Shandong according to the Cha Si You, and was divided into eastern Yan, just in the face of reform and streamlining redundant personnel, he was dismissed and returned home.
In the tenth year of the Wanli Dynasty (1582), Zhang Juzheng died, and the forces opposing Zhang Juzheng in the imperial court prevailed, Zhan Yi was a person who had once resisted Zhang Juzheng, was reappointed and promoted rapidly, successively serving as the chief priest of Fenghua Zhi County (正七品), the chief priest of the Rebbe Ancestral Hall (正六品), the yuanwailang (from Wupin), the Guanglu Temple, the eighteenth year (1590) May, the ascension to Nanjing Shangbao Siqing (正五品), the nineteenth year (1591) in December to the Right Temple of Nanjing Dali Temple Right Temple (正五品), the twentieth year (1592) In May, Sheng Nanjing Taichang Temple Shaoqing (正四品), Zhuan Taibu Temple Qing (從三品, 衙署 in Chuzhou).
Nanjing Taibu Temple in Chuzhou
Fellow township official Ma Rong died of illness in Chuzhou on the way to Henan's right envoy, and his family had no money to collect the funeral, so Zhan Yi generously donated money to fund his return to his hometown for burial. Zhan Yi also acted as an agent for Ying Tianfu Yin. Ying Tian was the capital of the empire, the annual silk price was tens of thousands, and according to the custom, one-tenth of the silk tax could be used for official expenses, but Zhan Yi did not accept this money. Because of his outstanding achievements in the capital, he was promoted to the post of secretary of the Taichang Temple (正三品) in Beijing, and in December of the thirty-first year of the Wanli Calendar (1603), he was appointed as the left deputy capital of the Capital Imperial Household, when the Demon Book case occurred, the people were panicked, and Zhan Yi assisted the Left Capital Yushi Wenchun to investigate the case, and did his best to stop the connection. After the acting court, he became more old and serious, and in the Xianning ZhiXian Manchu Dynasty Recommendation Case and the Pseudo-Chu King Case, both impartially verified, measured and measured, rehabilitated unjustly imprisoned, and protected a group of innocent and implicated people.
After Zhi Shi returned home, he took the first two words of the emperor's evaluation of "clean body and forget righteousness" and named his study "Clean Body Hall". Since then, Han Rao has teased Sun and traveled to the forest and begun a retired life. Zhan Yi had many guests and friends in the dprk, and in the countryside, there were many protégés and former officials, and Zhan Yi and his wife Zhang Shi were generous and hospitable, and often received help from poor relatives in the family, so the door was like a city.
In the forty-second year of the Wanli Calendar (1614), on the eighth day of the eighth birthday of Zhan Yi, it coincided with the joy of the full moon of his great-grandson, and the double joy was at the door, the guests were full, and relatives and friends were all honored for their birthday. At this time, Zhan Yi was in good physical condition, the crane had a childlike face, and the wine flew away, not to mention. Xuancheng scholars Mei Dingzuo, Tang Binyin, Zhong Zhenyang, etc. were all given as birthday preludes. Tang Binyin said in the "Eighty Birthday Sequence of Mr. Lu Quan Zhan of the Great Middle School": "Jiangling Sheng, the world rushed to Jiangling, for the official Ke can not be the fate of the first, the first of the Jundian, the surrender to the bed, donglin Huai Fusheng, the world rushed to ... For the vice-capital Imperial History can not be a fate, not to break the dynasty, there are bo yi, since the return of the public and the hometown of the same eunuchs for ten generations, retired crown, zhi tianya dynasty gongfu such as the temple, regents such as the chief of staff, the alliance of the elders, the meeting of the true rate, less than the Yan Biji, the years entrusted to the leisure, the eyes of the party, Shu Qi here? He praised Zhan Yi's refusal to cling to the dignity of power, and refuted the Donglin Party's slander of himself in a mocking tone, all of whom were retired at home and lived at ease, what party could they tie?
In the forty-sixth year of the Wanli Calendar (1618), Zhan Yi died at home at the age of eighty-four. After his death, the emperor gave him the cost of sacrifice and funeral, and the remaining funds were no less than dozens of yi, and his wife Zhang Shi gave them all to the eldest son Ying Peng. When people praised her as "accumulated and scattered, frugal and courteous, Mrs. Her bandit Daisy? In June of the following year, the eldest son, Ying Pengshang, begged for a gift, and the Wanli Emperor posthumously awarded him the title of Zuo Du Yushi (左都御史), and Yin Yizi entered the Guozi Prison to study.
Zhan Yi's poems were later compiled into several volumes of the "Manuscript of the Jieshengtang", which was repaired in the Qianlong Dynasty, and the books collected and reported in various places, and the "Manuscript of the Jieshengtang" was included in the "Bibliography of the Forbidden Destruction of the Four Libraries" along with the works of other celebrities in Xuancheng, such as the "Gushan Relics Collection" and the "Jienan Wenshu Collection", "the original version was destroyed to eliminate the root strain". At present, his poems can only be seen in Fang Zhi and genealogy. However, the people of Heaven's mercy and righteousness, Shen Shoumin's "Gushan Relics" and Wu Sugong's "Jienan Anthology" survived the disaster, reappeared in the late Qing Dynasty, and were compiled into the "Four Libraries Forbidden Book Series" today, and we have the intuition to believe that the "Manuscript of the Clean Body Hall" may still exist in the world, but it has not yet been discovered.
