Jie Jin (1369- 14 15) was born in Jishui, Jiangxi Province (now Jishui County, Ji 'an City, Jiangxi Province) and is Xie Lun's younger brother. The first cabinet record in Ming dynasty.
Jie Jin's grandfather Xie Ziyuan was the judge of the Yuan Dynasty in Fuzhou. When the soldiers were in chaos, they died in righteousness. When the father untied, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, was summoned to tell the story of the Yuan Dynasty. If you want to increase your official position, you can untie and resign.
Jie Jin was born smart, and he was able to write poetry at the age of six, so he was known as a child prodigy. In the twenty years of Hongwu (1387), Ding Maoke won the first place in Jiangxi in the rural examination. In the twenty-first year of Hongwu (1388), Chen Wu, Lian Jie, won the 10th Jinshi in the first three subjects and was awarded Jishi Shu, a Chinese scholar. Zhu Yuanzhang valued him very much and ordered him to be around. One day, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Jie Jin in the East-West Room, "My second aunt and I are monarch and minister, and we are kind to our father and son. We should know everything. " The next day, Jie Jin presented tens of thousands of books, arguing that laws should be concise and to the point, and good governance should be praised. Zhu Yuanzhang read it and praised his talent. Soon, Jie Jin put forward ten strategies for peace again. At that time, Jie Jin worked in the Ministry of War, and his words were often contemptuous. When Shen Cheng, the senior minister of the Ministry of War, reported the incident, Ming Taizu said: "Jie Jin just indulged himself in redundancy." A few months later, Zhu Yuanzhang issued a letter, changing Jie Jin to suggestion. At that time, Li Shanchang, a Korean man, was sentenced to death for rebellion in the Hu case, and used grass instead of the doctor's kingdom to express his grievances. In addition, he wrote a cursive script for Xia to impeach the imperial capital Thai. Yuan Tai therefore hated Jie Jin. At that time, all priests and fathers had to take part in the pilgrimage. When Jie Jin's father untied the pilgrimage, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "If you are a late bloomer, it will be good for you to go to school if it belongs to your son. In the next ten years, it is not too late to use it again. " Jie Jin then went home with his father.
Eight years later, Ming Taizu died and Ming Huidi acceded to the throne. Jie Jin was impeached by officials as soon as he entered Yingtianfu, claiming that he violated the imperial edict, that his mother was not buried, and that his father was 90 years old and should not leave his family. So Jie Jin was demoted to the Prefecture of Hezhou. At that time, Dong Lun, assistant minister of does, was very trusted by Ming Huidi, so Jie Jin wrote to Dong Lun and asked him for a job. On the recommendation of Dong Lun, Ming Huidi ordered Jie Jin to enter the Hanlin Academy, where he served as an academician.
In the battle of Jingnan, Jie Jin surrendered to Judy after Judy, the prince of Yan, entered Jinling, Yingtianfu. After Judy acceded to the throne, she promoted Jie Jin to Hanlin as a scholar in order to be a successful father. Later, Cheng Zu established the Wen Yuan Pavilion, and Jie Jin, Huang Huai, Yang Shiqi and others entered the Wen Yuan Pavilion to participate in the maintenance, and the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty began. Subsequently, Jie Jin was ordered by the President to compile A Record of Ming Taizu and Biography of Women. When the book was finished, Judy gave silver coins. Later, he edited Yongle Dadian. In the second year of Yongle, Jie Jin was promoted to Bachelor of Hanlin and Bachelor of Youchunfang, and was the cabinet record. On one occasion, Judy summoned Jie Jin and others and said, "You seven people live together day and night, and I often praise your diligence and prudence in the palace. It is often easy to be cautious at first, but it is difficult to maintain in the end. I hope you can encourage me. " So they gave five sets of official uniforms and so on. Coincided with beginning of spring, Judy gave them gold clothes with the same status as Shangshu. Since then, the cabinet has put forward a proposal, which Judy humbly adopted.
Jie Jin seldom went to North Korea. Because of his high talent, he went. He is good at words, but he never worries about the likes and dislikes of others. Courtiers are often jealous because of his favor. At that time, undecided, Qi Huangong called Hanwang active, made Zhu Wei. Ming Chengzu secretly inquired about Jie Jin, and Jie Jin said: "The eldest son of the emperor (Zhu Gaochi) is benevolent and filial, and the world is returning to the heart." Zhu did not respond. Jie Jin lowered his head and said, "Good Holy Sun (Zhu Zhanji)." Therefore, Judy agreed to Jie Jin's brief introduction, and the Chu Jun issue was decided. Hanwang Zhu was particularly jealous of his suggestion. At that time, it coincided with the Ming army's crusade against Annan and Jie Jin. Jie Jin dissuaded them, but Judy wouldn't listen. Subsequently, the crusade was successful and counties were established. Although the prince was established at that time, Zhu Gaochi's performance did not satisfy Judy. At this time, Zhu was more favored by the dragon, and the level of courtesy exceeded the standard of the first family. Jie Jin protested again: "This will lead to war, which will not work." Judy immediately became furious and said that Jie Jin was alienating her own flesh and blood. In the fourth year of Yongle, the emperor gave five people, including Huang Huai and others, two kinds of gauze clothes, excluding Jie Jin. The following year, Jie Jin was even seated because of the unfair reading of the trial documents, and was demoted to the Senate of Guangxi Chengxuan. When he was preparing for his post, Dr. Li Zhigang of the US Department of Energy said that Jie Jin had a complaint, so he changed his address and ordered him to supervise the wages in Iowa.
In the eighth year of Yongle (14 10), Jie Jin visited Beijing, which coincided with Cheng Zu's expedition to the north, and returned immediately after meeting the Prince. Hanwang Zhu immediately wrote a letter waiting for an opportunity, saying that he was a "private prince, but he didn't get a courtier." Chengzu flew into a rage after hearing this. At that time, Jie Jin and Wang Zhuo of the review team inspected the mountains and rivers in Guangdong and invited them to dig the Ganjiang River to connect the north and the south. As soon as the book was broadcast, Judy ordered the Royal Guard to arrest Jie Jin and put him in prison. Cheng of Dali Temple, Zong Renfu, Guan, Wang Ruyu of Zanshan, Jiang Ji, Pan Ji, Gao E, imperial academy, etc. all went to prison. Among them, Gao Deyi, Wang Ruyu,,, died in prison. In the 13th year of Yongle, the Governor of Royal Guards presented a list of prisoners. When Judy saw Jie Jin's name, he asked, "Are you still there?" Knowing this, Ji Gang got Jie Jin drunk and buried him alive in the snow to freeze to death. Jie Jin died at the age of 47. Subsequently, the Royal Guards copied his property, and his wife's clan exiled Liaodong to guard the border.
At that time, when Jie Jin was in the academician courtyard, Judy wrote a list of courtiers and ordered Jie Jin to state the length of each person separately. Jie Jin replied: "Qi Yi has a higher talent, but he has no opinion in his mind. Xia Yuanji has virtue and magnanimity, but he can't live without villains. Liu Jun is very talented, but he doesn't care about morality. Zheng Ci can be said to be a gentleman, but his talent is quite lacking. Li Zhigang is absurd and good at following suit. Although he is talented, his heart is not correct. Huangfu upholds the heart of simplicity and integrity, and is indeed able to keep integrity. Chen Ying's law enforcement is mean, and it can keep clean. Song Li was straightforward and stern, and people were dissatisfied with his lack of sympathy. Chen Qia is broad-minded, alert and keen, but also honest. Fang Bin is just a bookkeeper and has a heart of the market. " Judy sent this article to Prince Zhu Gaochi and took this opportunity to ask Yin Changlong and Wang Ruyu about their length. Jie Jin replied, "Yin Changlong is a gentleman, but he is not magnanimous. Wang Ruyu's writing style is rare, but unfortunately only the heart of the market. " Later, when Injong ascended the throne, he showed Jie Jin's suggestion to Yang Shiqi, saying, "People say that Jie Jin is arrogant, but judging from his performance, this is a conclusion. He is not arrogant. " So a letter was sent to Jie Jin's wife's family.
At first, Jie Jin and Hu Guangtong attended the banquet of the Ming emperor. Ming Chengzu said to them, "You are fellow villagers, classmates and officials. Jie Jin has a son, Hu Guang. You can marry your daughter to him. " Hu Guang replied, "My wife is still pregnant. I don't know if it is a man or a woman." Ming Chengzu smiled and said, "It must be a woman." When the child was born, it was indeed a daughter. After his death, his son Xie was exiled to Liaodong. Hu Guang wants to break off the engagement. The daughter was furious, cut off her ear and swore, "My unlucky marriage was married by the emperor, and my father's adult promised it face to face." If I break the contract, I have to die, and there is no other way. "When he was pardoned, his daughter still married Xie.
In the first year of orthodoxy, Ming Yingzong returned Jie Jin's property by decree. In the first year of Chenghua, Ming Xianzong wrote to restore Jie Jin's official position and presented it to the doctor. After Jie Jin's death, Zhu's rebellion was eliminated; Annan rebelled many times, and the counties established in the Ming Dynasty were finally cancelled. All this happened as Jie Jin said before his death.
Jie Jin is good at calligraphy, especially Weeds. His ink includes poems in the book and poems in the Tang Dynasty. Wu Mingkuan's Collection of Letters from One Weng's Family said: "In Yongle, many people can write books, and the bachelor should be the first person to solve the problem. He should write fluently and skillfully." He is the author of Wen Yi.
