Chapter Fifty-Nine: Digging the Corners of Civil Officials

"You're Xie Jin?"

"Yes, yes, the subordinate is Xie Jin."

Xie Jin, a proper talent.

looks good, elegant and stylish, that's the face......

At this time, Xie Jin was in front of Zhu Yunxi, and his expression was as if he had suddenly gone ashore for several years.

It's all stories!

Xie Jin has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he has exported poems and never forgets, and he is a well-known talent in ten miles and eight towns.

As long as people know him, they all think that he will definitely get ahead in the future.

There was no accident, Xie Jin won the Jinshi in the first imperial examination.

His fame spread from his hometown to Jingshi, and even Emperor Zhu knew about it.

So Zhu Yuanzhang took time out of his busy schedule to meet him, which means that Xie Jin is valued by the big leaders, and the future officials will be prosperous and the future is limitless.

After the palace examination, Xie Jin was given the same Jinshi background and awarded the Zhongshu Shujishi, that is, the Shujishi who watched the government in the Zhongshu Department.

There was a rule behind the Ming Dynasty that non-Jinshi did not enter the Hanlin, non-Hanlin did not enter the cabinet, and the Southern and Northern Rite Ministries, the Shilang and the right Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, and the non-Hanlin did not appoint.

And the status of the Gujishi is higher, which is equivalent to the storage phase.

Historically, Xie Jin became the first cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

Xie Jin, who had just stepped into his career, was in a very bad environment in the court at that time.

Because the Hu Weiyong case has lasted for nearly a decade, to be precise, some people are using the Hu Weiyong case to attack their opponents.

As long as you deal with Hu Weiyong's comrades, you can kill the other party and start from the house.

Some of the officials were fine during the day, but they were arrested at night and became missing.

In such a bloody environment, many ministers cowered, solved problems in a low-key manner, and turned a blind eye when they encountered trouble, just hoping to avoid this catastrophe.

But Xie Jin, who is a newcomer to officialdom, did not do this, instead of living a precarious life, he bravely took the initiative!

Just a few days after going to work, Xie Jin wrote to Emperor Zhu and presented a well-known article "Ten Strategies for Taiping".

He gave a detailed overview of his political ideology and philosophy of governance, pinpointed the evils of the times, criticized the repeated changes in the imperial decrees, and the killing of too many people.

thinks that if you follow his ten suggestions, you can achieve peace in the world.

Many people think that Xie Jin doesn't know what to do, and if he wants to be in trouble, at least Emperor Zhu, who has just killed a group of ministers, will not let him go.

To everyone's surprise, Zhu Yuanzhang calmly accepted the criticism, and he didn't feel embarrassed, let alone kill him.

Many people think that this is a means to relieve Jin, to see political speculation, and then become famous all over the world and pull up enough political capital.

But later I found out that Xie Jin was just a stunned young man!

Soon, Xie Jin was arrogant and rude when he went to the Ministry of War to ask for servants, and was taught to be a man by Shen Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

Transferred from the central government to the local government, he was reappointed as the superintendent of the imperial history of Jiangxi Province.

In the second year, Xie Jin came back again, and after meeting Emperor Zhu, he wrote "On Yuan Tai's Treacherous Situation".

Yuan Tai is the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and as the imperial historian, it is indeed not something that ordinary people can do to report their bosses.

This is not over, after a while, Zhu Yuanzhang killed Li Shanchang.

Xie Jin started to act again, and he wrote "On the Public Injustice of South Korea" on behalf of his friend to Zhu Yuanzhang, advocating the rehabilitation of Li Shanchang.

In the eyes of others, he was dead.

After all, Li Shanchang was killed, and he had a deep political background.

As a result, Lao Zhu still didn't kill Xie Jin, but just drove him back to his hometown.

In just three years, Xie Jin ended his official career, and his glory and wealth seemed to be a dream.

The days of dismissal are depressing, falling from the clouds to the mortal world, not only will you be disheartened, but you will also encounter some people's verbal ridicule.

Depressed, Xie Jin has figured out a lot of things, he wants to return to the court!

But it doesn't matter, how to return?

It wasn't until his old friend Li Zhigang wrote a letter introducing him to King Wu's mansion to listen to the errand, and Xie Jin was ecstatic.

"His Royal Highness King Wu has been sent, and the minister will never refuse!"

Xie Jin is a person with a straightforward personality, and he has always been straightforward in his words and deeds.

"How about you become a professor in Wu Wangfu first?"

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile and said tentatively.

From the professor of Jiupin, do you want to do it?

"Good!" Xie Jin nodded without thinking, like a hungry man who is not picky.

In fact, he has his own considerations.

Although the professor's position is low, he is the teacher who teaches King Wu, and there are too many opportunities to get along with each other in the future!

It's like when I was by the emperor's side, although my position was low, I had many opportunities!

"Li Changshi, you can arrange it." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.

With the first talent in the early Ming Dynasty as a teacher, the cultural class should be able to rise in a straight line!

Xie Jin's character is not afraid of authority and dares to tell the truth.

When you ask him a question, he will give him all he can, and he won't hide it, let alone play with it.

And this kind of person finds that you have a mistake and gives you advice, but also straightforward and does not beat around the bush.

Isn't that exactly what the people in power need around them?

Zhu Yunxi looked at Xie Jin, and suddenly said, "Do you know why Grandpa Huang asked you to return to your hometown?" ”

Maybe Xie Jin didn't understand at all that it was not the emperor he offended, but his colleagues!

It was not Zhu Yuanzhang who wanted to put Li Shanchang to death, but the civil officials!

Otherwise, why didn't Zhu Yuanzhang kill Xie Jin? There is also Xie Jin's friend Wang Guoyong, and the two of them wrote together to defend Li Shanchang.

As a result, both of them were fine!

This is last year, Zhu Yunxi has recently rummaged through various official documents of the imperial court, so he knows it.

"The minister knows that His Majesty is protecting the minister."

Xie Jin looked in the direction of the palace with a look of reverence on his face.

"You know?" Zhu Yunxi was surprised.

It's gone, the IQ of a talented man is very good!

It seems that he is not idle at home, and his political consciousness has grown a lot.

Xie Jin nodded and said, "Now in the court, there are many shameless people firmly holding the position of power!" ”

Zhu Yunxi didn't know who he was talking about, but he guessed blindly, there should be Shen Wei, the former secretary of the military department.

There is also the right capital of Yushi Yuan Tai.

Xie Jin was squeezed out by them, so he had to go elsewhere.

And these two people have a common characteristic: they have both offended Huaixi nobles.

When Shen Wei was the secretary of the Ministry of War, he forbade military attachés to interfere in civil affairs and repeatedly attacked military generals.

And the right capital Yu Shi Yuan Tai, the last time Lan Yu incident, he took the lead in impeachment.

As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

Xie Jin's defection to King Wu is largely due to this.

"Scholars are officials for the common people of the world, but some people claim to be gentlemen, but they secretly do some flattery and eradicate dissidents!"

Xie Jin was filled with indignation and expressed his attitude to Zhu Yunxi.

"At the beginning, the minister only told a few truths, and he was dismissed and punished, and the impeachment of the minister was Zhao Mian, the head of the household!"

And he brought out another fish......

Zhu Yunxi said seriously: "You go on." ”

The death of Lee Sun-chang, the Korean duke, was impeached by the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Because he was demoted to the imperial history for a period of time, Xie Jin naturally knew the inside story.

In the heart hall, the two sat opposite each other and talked on their knees.

And this chat involved many "big shots" in the imperial court!

The ruthlessness of those civilian and official methods shocked Zhu Yunxi.

It also made him more aware of the factional pattern of civil officials in the court at this time.
