In the 21st year of Hongwu's reign, Xie Jinzhong ranked tenth among the top three Jinshi in the Wuchen Department. He was promoted to Jinshi with his brother Xie Lun and brother-in-law Huang Jinhua in the imperial examination, and was awarded the title of Shujishi.
During this period, he wrote tens of thousands of words, advocating that laws should be simplified and good governance should be rewarded.
Shortly thereafter, he once again submitted the "Ten Strategies for Taiping".
However, Xie Jin was young and energetic, without the smoothness of official circles, and was unscrupulous. He was framed by his colleagues early on, which soon made Zhu Yuanzhang unhappy.
He was demoted to be the censor of Jiangxi Province.
The Korean Duke Li Shanchang was executed by Zhu Yuanzhang for his crimes. The king of Xiejin Dynasty used Shangshu to defend Li Shanchang. He also wrote "On Yuan Tai's Cunning Act" on behalf of the imperial censor Xia Changwen Geshu.
Yuan Tai, the censor of the Chen Dynasty, despised the imperial court, took bribes and perverted the law, and framed Zhongliang. Yuan Tai was punished and resented it.
Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Xie Jin still lacked self-cultivation and must cultivate his moral character and think about his mistakes behind closed doors, otherwise he would become the target of attack by the ministers.
In the 24th year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Xie Jin's father to the capital and told him: "It is a late development. If you return with your son, it will be helpful for the army to advance. In the next ten years, it will not be too late to make great use of him." '
Although Xie Jin left, his reputation in the capital was also improved.
The reason why Lu mentioned Xie Jin was because Xie Jin had very profound knowledge and was involved in many aspects, especially in the field of law, and had been rewarded by his majesty.
Now I see that my son is encountering difficulties in revising the law, so I mentioned this person.
Zhu Yunwen had also heard of Xie Jin's reputation. Hearing this, he said, "It's just my mother. I'm not familiar with this person. It would be too abrupt to invite him rashly."
Lu smiled and said: "Wen'er is over the top. No matter what, you are the grandson of the present emperor and the future prince. You are a scholar, and you have no official position. You haven't reached the stage of inviting me personally."
"Most of these scholars are familiar with each other. If you ask Huang Zicheng to write a letter, you will naturally know the result."
"It's just that Jie Jin is young and frivolous. He has many opponents in the court. If he is really invited, he will be easily targeted by the emperor. You have to think about this."
"On this point, you must tell His Highness the Grand Sun clearly, otherwise you, as the recommender, will be easily implicated and reprimanded by His Majesty."
"Your Majesty punished Xie Jin to return to his hometown last year. When you asked His Highness the Grand Sun to recommend him, you should also explain this matter. Don't make mistakes at that time, causing His Highness the Grand Sun to misunderstand and ruin the relationship between the brothers."
Women's thoughts are always much more delicate than men's, not to mention someone as shrewd as Lu.
The sentences are clear and coherent, not only grasping the key point, but also allowing Zhu Yunwen to avoid having anything to do with it. More importantly, Lu grasped the idea of His Royal Highness Taisun's thirst for talents.
In the eyes of many officials, Xie Jin was not a good person. He relied on his talents and knowledge to criticize without leaving any room for justice, which made the court, where everyone was already in danger, even more dangerous.
Of course this is to get together and fuck him.
Lu's eyes were filled with brilliance. She proposed this method, but she didn't know what to think.
After Zhu Yunwen listened, he suddenly realized, and then casually praised: "Mother is really clear about the matters in the court."
"Fortunately, I have a mother, otherwise the child wouldn't know what to do."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Lu's smiling face suddenly became stiff.
The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.
This is the iron rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang, but Queen Ma is an exception.
When Lu became the Crown Princess, she naturally regarded herself as the future Queen Ma.
Therefore, I pay a lot of attention to things inside and outside the government. I occasionally meet with my father, and I also know a lot about political affairs.
Mrs. Lu looked at Zhu Yunwen's innocent appearance, thought about it in her mind, and said with a smile: "How do you know about the affairs of the court? But this Xie Jin is too famous, and his reputation in the capital is not small."
"My mother was also on the first day of the year last year. During the couplet, I heard and learned about Jin's childhood story, which made her particularly impressed."
After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment and said, "Mother is talking about the couplet between bamboo and book. I've heard about it too. This Jie Jin is indeed a quick thinker."
This story was widely circulated in the 21st year of Hongwu, when Xie Jinzhong was a Jinshi.
Xie Jin's family was poor when he was a child. On New Year's Day when he was seven years old, Xie Jin posted a Spring Festival couplet on his door: Thousands of poles of bamboo outside the door and thousands of books inside the house.
This couplet has neat counterpoints and dignified writing style, attracting many readers.
The rich gentleman next door saw that the poor man was more impressive than him. He was so angry that he sent people to cut down all the bamboos, hoping to embarrass Jie Jin.
Of course Xie Jin understood the rich gentry's intentions, so he immediately took a pen and inkstone and added a word under the Spring Festival couplets, which became: "Thousands of poles of bamboo outside the door are short, and thousands of books are long inside the house."
The wealthy gentry was even more annoyed and simply asked someone to dig out the bamboo roots. He thought, let’s see what you, a stupid kid, can do this time.
The smart Jie Jin didn't even think too much and added two more words under the Spring Festival couplets.
As soon as these two words were added, Fu Shen was dumbfounded. He could no longer think of any other clever ideas, so he had to admit that he was unlucky.
Xie Jintian's two characters are "nothing" and "existence", so this couplet becomes: Thousands of poles of bamboo are short of nothing outside the door, but thousands of books are there forever inside the house.
Because of this, the name of the seven-year-old magical power Jie Jin began to spread widely.
It wasn't until he won the Jinshi that this matter became the focus of discussion among tea restaurants in the capital.
Ms. Lu is well aware of her child's temperament. If she tells him some big principles or tells him not to spread the word to others, it will easily have the opposite effect.
So he used this incident to divert Zhu Yunwen's attention.
In this way, even if Zhu Yunwen is asked, no attention will be paid to him.
"Okay, I'll find some time in the next few days to ask my elder brother if it's feasible."
...
"How many memorials are there for impeaching the Chamber of Commerce under Grand Sun? Take them all."
In the Huagai Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
During the morning session today, he felt something was wrong.
This is a completely different atmosphere, although it is very subtle, but after being emperor for twenty-five years, in this Fengtian Palace, I have morning, noon, and evening dynasties.
As little as once, as many as three times.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had held tens of thousands of court meetings, was extremely familiar with every detail.
But today's morning meeting was obviously a little strange.
Sure enough, after the court meeting, a large number of memorials were presented.
These memorials did not come before the morning court, but after the morning court. The meaning is very obvious.
That is to avoid Da Sun.
These memorials were not submitted by ministers in the court, but came from all over the Ming Dynasty.
And different places can make the same appointment, and almost all the memorials are presented today.
This is the appointment.
The contents are similar, all of which impeach the Qunying Chamber of Commerce for competing with the people for profit, unjust enrichment, violation of laws and disciplines, hoarding goods, and speculation...
Almost all the crimes related to businessmen were pressed, and some things that Zhu Yuanzhang himself had forgotten from the Ming Law were also dug out.
It can be said that he is extremely careful.
Following His Majesty's instructions, a large number of memorials were collected, and Liu He arranged for the eunuchs to count them.
"How many memorials are there in total to impeach the Sun Chamber of Commerce?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly.
Listening to this tone, Liu He knew that His Majesty was already in a rage, so he quickly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are a total of 867 copies."
Zhu Yuanzhang said sharply: "Okay, okay, okay!"
"In our Ming Dynasty, there are a total of 1,427 counties and counties. There are 867 memorials to impeach our grandson. This is already more than half."
"Is this world still our Ming Dynasty's world?"
"It seems that Da Sun's Chamber of Commerce has touched the pockets of many people. They are starting to panic. They want to gather all their strength to fight against us."
"Then let us see how powerful you are!"
At the same time, Zhu Ying also received bad news in Kunning Palace.
"Your Highness, the nobles we contacted earlier suddenly started to regret it. Our chamber of commerce branches outside the Ming Dynasty have been suppressed in many places."
"Someone has spread the news that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is in the hands of His Highness throughout the Western Regions, deserts, and grasslands."
"Now there are reports from the outside world that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is a secret operation used by the Ming Dynasty to spy on various ministries. The business outside the territory has been seriously interfered with."
This was the first time for Ye Yueqing to report with such an anxious look.
Obviously, what happened this time happened so suddenly that there was no time for reaction.
Especially the previous work of uniting various nobles to deliver food to Goryeo is now very likely to go wrong.
When Zhu Ying heard this, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he said in a very calm tone: "It seems that there is someone who doesn't want us to have an easy time."
