Xiao Jing has a good understanding. He can understand the truth when he was a child. Later, he took advantage of the rich collection of books in the palace to read classics, so he was rich in knowledge. His poems are lofty and elegant, and there are no gorgeous sentences. His calligraphy started from copying Ou Tie, and later turned to Shen Ti, especially cursive.
He served six emperors and had ups and downs in his career. However, he was also the eunuch of Si Li supervisor for four times and the eunuch of Si Li supervisor for four times, which lasted for fifty years. There are as many as a hundred eunuchs under his name. He treated the scholars with gentleness and respect. When Yang Yiqing was in the cabinet, he repeatedly had contact because of business. Sometimes Yang Yiqing refuted the opinions of Wu Zong, and he was not so polite to Xiao Jing in the language, but Xiao Jing didn't mind. Although Xiao Jing also did some illegal things, he did not seek power for profit and form gangs.
He was dissatisfied with the wealth accumulated by other officials. Although he had been with the emperor for decades, his first house was still the same, and he didn't buy any property for himself. After retirement, he is even more willing to enjoy the forest. He never leaves home, never talks about current affairs, and only writes poems, drums and plays chess with friends. When dying, he warned his nephew and grandnephew: "The most important thing for a courtier is not to cheat." Nothing else was said. Eunuchs like him who don't collect money and abuse their power are rare after the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
Xiao Jing's grandnephew Xiao is the commander of the Royal Guards. Sun Shaoshao and Xiao Xin are all Jinshi, and several of them are Royal Guards.
