Jeff (1503 ~ 1583), Han nationality. Zi Zisheng,no. Shaohu,no. Cunzhai, was born in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, Ming Dynasty (now Songjiang District, Shanghai). He was good at poetry and calligraphy in his early years.
In the second year of Jiajing (1523), it was edited by the Hanlin Academy. When he was in imperial academy, Zhang Fujing, a cabinet scholar, came to power. Emperor Jiajing listened to Zhang Fujing's suggestion and wanted to remove the title of Confucius and lower the standard of offering sacrifices to Confucius. Emperor Jiajing asked his ministers to discuss this matter, but other ministers were afraid to say more because they were afraid of Zhang Fujing. Only Xu Jie is firmly opposed. Zhang Fujing scolded him angrily, and Xu Jie protested. Zhang Fujing was furious and said, "You will betray me." Xu Jie said calmly: "Betrayal is born of persistence. I am not attached to you. How can I say that I betrayed you? " As a result, he was demoted to Yanping satrap. During his tenure as an official in Yanping Prefecture, Xu Jie tried unjust imprisonment, released 300 innocent victims from prison, founded rural sociology, destroyed obscene temples, and arrested 120 thieves who endangered the countryside. Later, he was promoted to Tongzhi of Huangzhou Prefecture, and later served as assistant minister of Zhejiang Province, assistant envoy of Jiangxi Province, national childe wine offering, right assistant minister of Ritual Department and assistant minister of Official Department. When he was an assistant minister in the official department, he violated the routine of officials meeting ordinary officials and rarely spoke. When he meets the officials below, he always asks people how they feel about official affairs, so officials at all levels are willing to deal with him. He also knows how to do a good job. Most of the officials he recommended were sincere elders and won praise from courtiers. Soon, he was promoted to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, a college student in Wenyuange, and participated in the confidential affairs of the imperial court.
Zeng Mishu exposed Hou Qiuluan's crimes in Xianning, and was good at writing clear words (a style used to communicate with God, and Emperor Jiajing believed in God), which was trusted by Emperor Jiajing. At this time, Yan Song was in power, and he was careful with Yan Song for more than ten years. He is also good at catering to the will of the emperor, so he can stay in the local area for a long time.
At that time, Yan Song was authoritarian, and Xu Jie refused to attach himself to Yan Song at first. So Yan Song often speaks ill of him in front of the emperor. Xu Jie's situation was once very dangerous, which made him realize that we can't throw eggs at stones, so he changed his strategy, followed Yan Song in everything and never argued with him. In order to gain his trust, he also married his granddaughter to Yan Song's grandson, which seemed very respectful. Yan Song's son, Yan Shifan, has been bossy to him many times, but he also submitted to humiliation. At the same time, Xu Jie moved closer to Emperor Jiajing, picking the words that the emperor liked, and finally won the favor of Emperor Jiajing. Soon, he added the title of Xu Jie Shaobao, and later served as a university student in Wenyuan Pavilion, joined the cabinet and participated in maintenance. Later, he secretly reported the crime of Hou Qiuluan in Xianning, which made Jiajing Emperor kill Qiu Luan, gained the trust of the emperor, and added the title of a surname prince, further improving his status, second only to Yan Song. Later, a fire broke out in the Yongshou Palace where Emperor Jiajing lived. He temporarily lived in the Jade Seal Hall, but the place here was too small. Jiajing wanted to build a new palace. He asked Yan Song, and Yan Song asked him to return to ouchi. Emperor Jiajing was very reluctant. Then ask Xu Jie, Xu Jie guessed Jiajing's mind, so he suggested building a new palace with the leftover materials of the burnt palace, and his suggestion was approved by Emperor Jiajing. Later, he presided over the construction of Wanshou Palace and Jiajing moved in. Xu Jie was therefore named Shao Shi and supported his ministers. Yan Song was gradually neglected by the emperor. In the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), Zou Yinglong denounced Yan Song and his son, the emperor ordered the arrest of Yan Shifan, Yan Song abdicated, and Xu Jie took the place of Yan Song as the record.

The Japanese invaders ravaged the southeast and invaded Songjiang, urging them to send troops to quell the chaos.
In the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), he learned that the emperor had heard about the illegal acts of Yan Song and his son, so he ordered Zou Yinglong to participate in the dissolution, which eventually led to the dismissal of Yan Song and the detention of his son Yan Shifan. Xu Jie took the place of Yan Song as the record. During his tenure, Xu Jie took a fancy to Zhang and promoted him. It was because of this promotion that Zhang Cai was able to display his ambition and become a famous minister.
Emperor Jiajing believed the alchemist and ate the "elixir" to make him sick. Harry, the head of the family department, tried his best to make a mistake. The emperor was very angry and wanted to kill Harry at once. Xu Jie saved Harry's life and he was put in prison. In the forty-five years of Jiajing (1566), the emperor died, and Xu Jie issued a decree, making Mu Zong Zhu Zaiyu emperor, stopping all fasting, civil engineering, jewelry and weaving, and pardoning all officials who were offended by their words and deeds, so as to purify people's hearts. There are different opinions about the truth about Xu Jie's official career. On the one hand, because Gao Gong and Guo Pu were not consulted, they held a grudge and instigated the disintegration of the empire, forcing Xu Jie to go home as an official in Qin Long for two years (1568); When Mu Zong said his behavior was absurd, Xu Jie often dissuaded him, so Mu Zong hated him very much. Xu Jie was also disappointed, so she asked to retire. It happened that Zhang Qi was impeached because of personal enmity. So Mu Zong took the opportunity to allow him to retire and go home; Under the bright moon, Xu Jie worked hard all his life, was down and out, and had unlimited scenery. He defeated Yan Song, and another student, Zhang, had a bright future, so he resigned.
He has been a prime minister for many years and is a veteran of the two dynasties. Everyone calls him "Xu Gelao". In the name of "sacrifice", a lot of land was annexed. In the third year of Qin Long (1569), Hai Rui was appointed governor of Yingtian, and was used by Gao Gong, Xu Jie's political enemy, to order local strongmen to withdraw from the occupied land. I was killed and fled to another place.

Xu Jie entered the cabinet.
In the thirty-first year of Jiajing, Xu Jie joined the Cabinet and began his career as a cabinet bachelor for 17 years. It can be said that the biggest highlight of Xu Jie's whole political career is his defeat of the mighty Yan Song. Xu Jie's humiliation is the killer weapon in his political power struggle, and "Xu Jie intends to do something for Yan Song" has also become a classic case in power tactics.
Yan Song and Xu Jie have been cabinet masters for nearly ten years, but Xu Jie has close ties with Yan Song's political rival Xia Yan, while Xia Yan once recommended Xu Jie, and Yan Song has to be wary of Xu Jie. Yan Song framed Xu Jie many times. Xu Jie was deaf and dumb, never quarreled with Yan Song, and even married his granddaughter to Yan Song's grandson. On the surface, he was very obedient. Yan Shifan was rude to him many times, and he swallowed it. After several small temptations, Xu Jie dared not openly take Yan Song as an enemy, but was cautious, and Yan Song gradually relaxed its offensive against Xu Jie. Yan Song and his son's evil deeds, nepotism, corruption and bribery made Xu Jie want to destroy this country, but he also witnessed the tragedy of Yan Song's confrontation with Xia Yan and Yang Jisheng and Shen Lian's outspoken advice. A sophisticated person like Xu Jie won't release his tactics easily. The only choice is to wait patiently for the opportunity. As deep as a machine, when I was young, I couldn't stand myself and made suggestions. As a result, I went back to my hometown on sick leave and entered the political center again after three years of silence. Zhang benefited from his official mentor Xu Jie in political strategy, and was finally able to crowd out his political opponents and display his political ambitions.
In the forty-first year of Jiajing, Yan Song gradually lost the attachment of Emperor Sejong through the fire in Wanshou Palace, and Xu Jie gradually gained the trust of Sejong. At this point, Lin Run and Zou Yinglong, with the support of Xu Jie, reported to Yan Song and his son. The emperor arrested Yan Shifan and ordered Yan Song to retire. There are some interesting details in the meantime, so write it down and pour it with everyone.
Huang Guangsheng, director of the Ministry of Justice and suggestion, believes that the most lethal thing to prosecute is the crime of unclear source of huge amounts of property, as well as the crime of setting up unjust prison, injuring and practicing sinking. These two things are so popular that they are enough to kill him. Xu Jie, what is the public's anger at the emperor? He took their eulogy, that is, a letter to Emperor Jiajing, and asked, "Do you want to live?" Answer: "I will die." Xu Jie smiled coldly: "If it is, it is appropriate to be born. Fu Yang, Jian Jun, Song, etc. are all good at taking orders. Today, obviously, this is also obvious. Gentlemen, if anything happens, Prince Yan will ride out of the city. "
As they stupidly, Jeff took out a paper. When they opened it, the words were sharp and to the point, and they only felt murderous. Although Shen case and Yang case were good ideas, they were both caused by Sejong. Sejong is such a face-saving person ... If you look at the crime on the grounds of Shen and Yang cases, Sejong will definitely try his best to defend it, and then you can get away with it! Therefore, in the memorial, Xu Jie said nothing about the cases of Shen and Yang, but Emperor Jiajing hated two crimes most: insurrection and Japanese aggression. This fold, Yan Shifan will die! Every time I read history, I am amazed. Xu Jie is really a great politician.
Zou Yinglong hated Yan Song's father and son's evil deeds and graft, but in view of his bad luck after the suggestion or Hanlin impeached Yan Song's father and son's passbook, and Yang Jisheng openly impeached Yan Song's article 24 capital crimes, he finally died because his wife was involved, and he was too late to make a move. One night, I suddenly had a strange dream. In the dream, he rode a horse and flew in the country. He saw a high mountain in the distance. There is a straw house near Shandong. There is a pile of rice in the paddy field beside the building. He shot an arrow at the rice pile. Suddenly, the rice pile fell, the straw house fell, and then the mountain fell. He woke up from his dream and found himself soaked in cold sweat. He carefully recalled the scene in his dream and realized that God was instructing him to kill the people and the country. The rice pile in the paddy field refers to the word "Fan", nicknamed "East Building", and the word "Song" refers to Gaoshan, which was written as a passbook overnight, ready to impeach Yan Song and his son. Because of its importance, he handed the passbook to Xu Jie for consideration the next day. Zou Yinglong's passbook is taught by Xu Jie, which makes it neither online nor a famous sentence handed down from ancient times, mainly some trivial matters in Yan Shifan. It is said that Yan Song was shocked when he saw this passbook, and tried every means to press it down. However, Xu Jie had already sent this passbook to the desk of Emperor Jiajing. So, under one blow, Yan Song and his son finally fell. Yan Shifan was arrested and imprisoned, and Yan Song was ordered to retire.
His works include Shi Jing Tangji Volume 26 and Shao Hu Wen Ji 10. There is also the Yuemiao Collection, a parallel world.
There is a book written by Xu Jie, a senior official in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty and a university student in Jianjitang. Written by calligrapher Zhou and carved by famous stonemason Wu Ding. The content describes the process of dredging the new canal (Nanyang via Xiacun to Liucheng 14 1 km) and the old canal (Sihe) from Liucheng to Jingshan for 53 km. Writing, writing and engraving are excellent. Literati have always called it "divine products" and "three wonders", while locals call it "three wonders monument".

According to the records of Ming Dynasty, when Xu Jie was just one year old, he accidentally fell into a dry well. At that time, he was in a coma and his family thought he would not live, but he miraculously woke up three days later. When he was five years old, he once fell off a cliff. Everyone thought he must be dead, but his clothes actually caught a big tree and saved his life. This surprised people very much. They all said that if he survived, he would be blessed. Xu Jie is not tall and has fair skin. Born smart, resourceful and resourceful, his emotions are invisible. When he was young, he made friends with teachers in Wang Shouren, so he was famous among literati. The picture below shows Songjiang Square Tower. During the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty, from 1068 to 1094, the famous Xingshengjiao Temple Tower in the south of the Yangtze River was built in 1978, and the square tower garden was rebuilt with this tower as the main landscape, covering an area of 173 mu.
