Big grandson!

Zhu Yunqi thought about Xie Jin's life in his mind, and heard Zhu Yuanzhang calling him softly, and hurriedly turned his head over and listened carefully.

This man is a talented person, not only knows useless piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has profound insights on national affairs, but he is also a naughty young man. Zhu Yuanzhang whispered that this man is arrogant and looks polite. He actually has his eyes on his head. He is a little stubborn, and he can't even pull back the matter he has determined.

There are so many capable Hanlin officials in the court, but he is just a thorn. Not only is he always righteous, but he also likes to meddle in other people's business. We originally wanted him to go back to his hometown to practice hard for ten years before using it, but now you have no one around you, so I will be Ji Shan for you. He is a young talent and a young grandson. You may not be unable to achieve a good story!

Xie Jin stood on the ground, watching the two old and young whispering. The young King of Wu kept looking at him with interesting eyes. While feeling uneasy, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty met his ministers in Fengtian Hall, which was a major event for the monarch and his ministers. Why didn’t he talk to the ministers and whisper to the King of Wu instead?

Zhu Yunxiu suddenly became happy. He was really a naughty person. Although he was not the Qing Dynasty in later generations, his ministers knelt down when they saw the emperor, but no one in the civil and military affairs in the court dared to speak like this to the emperor.

Just ignore you for a while, you will remind you. If you really become a foolish monarch, wouldn’t you be pointed at the nose and scolded?

People who are arrogant all have one characteristic, that is, they are absolutely confident and absolutely direct. They can’t rub sand in their eyes and do not know how to adapt. Occasionally, they are arrogant and will make people feel a little cute, but always so, they will be disgusting.

Xie Jin came from a famous family and soon won the favor of Zhu Yuanzhang after he passed the Jinshi. His first appearance was in the 23rd year of Hongwu, last year, when Li Shanchang affidavit of Hu Weiyong's rebellion case.

Li Shanchang was a leader in the Huaixi faction in the Ming Dynasty. He made the most contributions among the founding civil officials. He was named Duke Han and his son Princess Shang was the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Yuanzhang had just made his mark in the Youyi Army, Li Shanchang brought his clan members to join him. He worked hard for decades of ups and downs. He was the steward of Zhu Yuanzhang during his entrepreneurial period and the first prime minister in the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the most criticized by Zhu Yuanzhang by later generations of literati. He killed the heroic officials and generals. He first used the charge of treason to kill Hu Weiyong, the second prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. Then he used the charge of clinging to the Hu party to kill Li Shanchang, and the whole family was executed, leaving only the son of Li Shanchang as the son-in-law.

Moreover, these two cases were no less than a mountain collapse for the Ming Dynasty officialdom, and nearly 50,000 officials and scholars were involved. There was no right or wrong in the political struggle, only victory. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a kind grandfather to Zhu Yunyu, he treated the threats he believed were waving a butcher knife and rolling heads.

The heads of the two prime ministers established Zhu Yuanzhang's absolute authority in the Ming Empire, making China's imperial power reach its peak in the first emperor of the Ming Empire. (The imperial power in the Qing Dynasty was stronger than in the Ming Dynasty, so here is not a lot of description)

No one in the world dares to speak. He knows that Li Shanchang seems to be so unfair, even if he dies, it is not such a miserable way to die. However, no one dares to speak.

But at this time, a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Guoyong, stood up and said that Li Shanchang was wronged. His words were fierce, which directly touched Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

The general meaning is that in addition to being the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang is also a royal relative and is one with His Majesty. If he wants to rebel, why should he stick to Hu Weiyong? Besides, Hu Weiyong was also promoted by him. If Hu Weiyong succeeds in rebelling, he is still a minister. What benefits can he do?

Now that Li Shanchang is dead, people cannot be resurrected. Now everyone in the world says that Li Shanchang has made such a great contribution and will kill him. What are the people of ours in the eyes of His Majesty?

I hope Your Majesty can take it as a warning and do not let the scholars in the world feel heartbroken again.

Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly read this memorial twice. When others thought that the kingdom was determined to be dead, Zhu Yuanzhang did not deal with him and instead promoted him to his official position.

However, Wang Guo used this memorial to draft it on behalf of Xie Jin.

Zhu Yuanzhang called Xie Jin over and asked why you helped the kingdom to draft memorials to avenge Li Shanchang.

Xie Jin said that I knew that the trouble would follow when words came out, but the shame was in the holy dynasty, and there were no people who would advise.

His meaning is very simple. I know there is a danger of beheading, but I don’t care, and I look down on all the civil and military officials in the court who dare not speak the truth.

Zhu Yuanzhang likes people with courage, and even more people with courage and knowledge.

So he was promoted to the sixth-rank Hanlin Bachelor, but this also shows that Xie Jin seemed to have a low emotional intelligence. His words that looked down on the ministers who did not dare to tell the truth in the court offended many people.

People are like this. I can be despicable, cowardly, or even a little cold, or sinister and vicious. I can even regard these as the principles of life. I can do this, but you can't expose me. If you expose me, you have offended me.

This shows that Xie Jin is a sword among literati. After being recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang, he became even more ostentatious.

At the beginning of this year, he submitted another memorial, the Ten Strategy of Taiping.

The so-called Ten Strategies of Peace are ten Strategies that can make the world peaceful and the people live and work in peace. He is just a Hanlin scholar, and the six ministers and censors in the court dare not say anything, but he said it.

Not to mention his plan, he had one in the book that he had angered Zhu Yuanzhang when he came into contact with him.

He said that the Ming Dynasty's enfeoffment of vassal kings was the beginning of the world's disaster.

That is to say, if Zhu Yuanzhang now enfeoffed the kings, he would definitely suffer endlessly in the future.

His prophecy was correct. In the years to come, not only would the throne be usurped, but the huge dragon sons and grandsons also became borers in this country.

He has ambitions, dares to speak out, has courage, has foresight and vision. But he underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang's favoritism towards his family.

It was because of this sentence in history that he was not only sent home to continue studying, but also suffered repeated setbacks in his career.

His setbacks stem more from himself. He does not understand the laws of the officialdom, does not know how to bend and stretch, does not know how to bow his head, and does not understand the unspoken rules.

After Jianwen ascended the throne, for his political and ideological ambitions, he ran to the capital to seek official positions. The person he offended back then directly gave him a fatal blow.

At that time, Xie Jin's mother passed away and his father was in his 90s. A scholar like you, who was not at home to take care of his father, came to seek an official position, was simply unfaithful and unfilial.

The highest level of blow to a person is moral bondage and condemnation. Even in later generations of information explosions, standing on the moral high ground and accuse others with ulterior motives is an unconventional way to ruin others.

Xie Jin's career was over, and he became an insignificant and even looked down upon in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

But immediately, Xie Jin, who had been tempered by his will, ushered in the peak of his life. Zhu Di led his army into the city. After the scholars led by Fang Xiaoru did not cooperate, Zhu Di urgently needed a prestigious person to help him.

Xie Jin defected to Zhu Di. It is said that he used his gorgeous writing style to help Zhu Di draft the edict of ascending the throne. Moreover, for a long time, he was Zhu Di's first secretary, and all the major documents and edicts in the early years of Yongle were written by him.

In just five years, he went from being a marginal person who was deliberately neglected to become Zhu Di's favorite minister. The important task of editing the Yongle Ceremony fell on his shoulders, and he also became the Minister of Propaganda and Culture of the Ming Empire at that time.

Even when Zhu Di was hesitant about the crown prince or Zhu Gaoxu, he said something in person, looking at the saint grandson. (It is said that Zhu Di liked Zhu Gaoxu a little, and then Xie Jin told Zhu Di that the crown prince is not only virtuous, but also his son is also good.)

This incident once again shows that his emotional intelligence is low. Since ancient times, no one can get involved in the family affairs of the king. Not only did he get involved in the family affairs of the emperor, he also wanted to be the emperor's grandson. He was a ruthless man from later generations who treated his uncle Zhu Gaoxu as his teacher of Emperor Xuanzong of Ming who steamed steamed buns.

Later, he got involved in the prince and Zhu Gaoxu, and was harshly sued by the latter, then deprived him of his official position and was imprisoned in the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei.

Then, Ji Gang, commander of the Jinyiwei, understood the emperor's intentions and froze him to death.

(The above are all water, but many young readers may not know much about this character, so I am watery!)

If this person is used properly, he will be a sword in his hand. But I guess he will have to endure his low emotional intelligence and pride when using him.

Zhu Yunhuang thought about it for a while and understood Zhu Yuanzhang's intention. Xie Jin, a naughty young man, is the whetstone of Zhu Yunhuang's character. A mature and good emperor must endure and tolerate it, and even value these naughty young man who dares to speak out.

Xie Dashen! Zhu Yunsheng smiled and said, Grandpa Huang just told me that you are a naughty young man. Let me be patient with you. Are you impatient? (My name is Dashen)

When King Wu named him "The King of Wu, Xie Jin's face turned red and he made a loud defense, "Your Highness, I just like to speak out, why are you so naughty? Besides, Your Majesty and Your Highness said privately that I am a naughty and have a corruption. After that, he turned his head proudly, as if he was wronged.

This can also show the character of the literati in the early Ming Dynasty from the side. If it were in my Qing Dynasty, I would be afraid that my ministers would shout long live and thank my master for their praise.

In fact, it also proves how tolerant Zhu Yuanzhang was to these young talents.

If you weren't a naughty man, there would be no naughty man in the Ming Dynasty! Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, Xie Jin, you were originally a sixth-rank Hanlin bachelor, but you repeatedly angered your colleagues and officials and did not understand the way of becoming an official. Last time, we criticized you for being a grand statement and wanted you to go home to study.

But we have a heart of loving talents. The King of Wu is young and lacks a clerk around him. You can be the one!

Sure enough, Zhu Yunxiu saw an unhappy expression on Xie Jin's face.

The Hanlin scholar was originally a close minister of the emperor, equivalent to a member of the emperor's secretariat. Being a secretary for the vassal kings was equivalent to losing several levels. Xie Jin was a fan of officials, so it would be strange if he could be happy.

What? Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, are you not happy?

My minister... Xie Jin was about to say he was unhappy, but when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp gaze, he immediately swallowed the other words. He just had low emotional intelligence, and was not stupid.

I am not unhappy, but I am a Hanlin...

Do you think you are useless? Zhu Yunsheng smiled and said, "Yes, it's true that the person who dares to speak out for Li Shanchang is a little wronged to put him next to the side of the orphan!"

If someone else said this, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely be furious, but his grandson said that the old man seemed to have not heard it. Instead, he looked at Xie Jin with interest to see how the other party responded.

I wrote a letter to Han Gong to seek justice, which is the duty of a minister, and it is nothing!

Zhu Yunxiu's words made Xie Jin feel uncomfortable again and said, "I'm daring, your highness has read the memorial, have you said that I'm wrong?"

Xie Jin, don’t be ignorant of your own? Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly.

Zhu Yunxi walked to Xie Jin and smiled faintly, you were right, but not completely right. As he said that, Zhu Yunxi restrained himself. You just saw Li Shanchang's grievances, but not the grievances of Grandpa Emperor!
