One day, when Jie Jin entered the palace to play, he saw a eunuch named Zhang Hang whipping his whip outside Zuoshun Gate. Jie Jin scolded him, saying that the greatness of a university lies in its brilliance. Zhang had to bow his head honestly. The sooner the better, the higher the self-esteem, and naturally no one will pay attention. He said that he was "good at hiding, unscrupulous, and courtiers hurt his pet." With Jie Jin's intelligence, why didn't he know that his disaster came from his mouth? In the final analysis, a witty person is still a witty person. He doesn't understand the rules of officialdom, doesn't hide anything, makes too many enemies, makes mistakes inadvertently, and will pay the price one by one in the future.
Once, Judy wrote down some courtiers' names on paper and asked Jie Jin to point out their advantages and disadvantages one by one. This is an unpleasant job, but Jie Jin doesn't care. He said, "Jane is brilliant, but she has no fixed opinions." Xia Yuanji is virtuous, not far from the villain. Liu Jun is very talented, but he knows nothing about Gu Yi. Zheng Ci can be said to be a gentleman, lacking in talent. Li Zhigang was born with potential, even though he just misbehaved. Huang's heart is easy to straighten, and he can really keep it. Chen Ying is honest in usage. Song Li is straightforward and stern, and people will not regret it. This is also a sensitive move by the police to remove Chen. Genius in Fang Bin's books is the heart of livestock traders. The emperor told these words to the prince, who asked Yin Changlong and Wang Ruyu what had happened. Jie Jin replied, "I am a gentleman, but my number is not very large. "I don't get it easily. He treasures the heart of the city. Many years later, Injong acceded to the throne and showed Jie Jin's On People's Republic of China (PRC) to Yang Shiqi, the cabinet minister. He commented that everyone said that Jie Jin was crazy, and I saw his point of view from his evaluation of people. He is not crazy at all. Of course, Jie Jin has been dead for many years.
Shortly after the restoration of Lu in September 403, entrusted by the emperor, he began to take over a huge project that made him shine in history and compiled an all-encompassing encyclopedia covering all knowledge of ancient and modern times. The emperor's direct instructions to him were to "embrace the vast universe, unify the similarities and differences between ancient and modern times" and "draw up a historical contract with a subset of 100 words". As for astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medicine, divination, monasticism and Taoism, prepare a book and don't get tired of it. "
Perhaps Jie Jin didn't really understand the emperor's intention to compile this ultimate book at first. Only one year later, Jie Jin and his team compiled this book and classified the documents of past dynasties. When he called this book a "literary masterpiece", the emperor was dissatisfied and thought that the code was not ready and too short, which did not meet his original intention. So, he ordered a large-scale revision and enrichment, and sent Shao Shi, Prince Yao Xiaoguang, and does not minister Zheng Ci to attend. As an invigilator, he cooperated with Jie Jin, and transferred more than 2,000 scholars from the Hanlin Academy and imperial academy to participate in writing, proofreading, recording and drawing.
Jie Jin realized that the emperor actually wanted to focus his thoughts on the direction he pointed out by compiling this masterpiece. His carelessness is politically insensitive. He led this huge editorial team composed of 2 169 scholars to start work again. The most outstanding intellectuals of this era gathered around him, like a machine of gears and kisses. Jie Jin personally arranged the work of each department. Every part of the manuscript has been edited, and he will personally review it and propose amendments. Every link, such as book purchase, historical data analysis, editing and copying, finishing and printing. Take care of yourself. As you can imagine, when this ceremony becomes more and more perfect day by day, Jie Jin is full of ambition. He commanded this team of more than 2,000 scholars, but his prestige was like a general who led a tribe to kill the enemy.
After three years of cold and summer,1407 65438+February, this masterpiece named Biography of Jie Jin in Ming Dynasty was finally compiled. This book includes seven or eight thousand books, covering a subset of classics and history, as well as astronomy, geography, Yin and Yang, medical skills, divination, Tibetan Buddhism, Taoism, northern opera, southern opera, storytelling, engineering technology, agriculture and chronicles. On such a large scale, it is like a complicated mirror, with many twists and turns, reflecting all kinds of worlds. However, Jie Jin, the chief architect of this project, has disappeared from the palace ceremony to celebrate this ceremony. In February this year, he was demoted to chief secretary of Guangxi, and has been in the south thousands of miles away.
"Are you still there?"
At this time, Jie Jin has embarked on the road of no return, because he participated in the power struggle at the highest level.
With his young talent and conceit, Jie Jin didn't know that royal friendship could not be secular, nor could it be fixed with the passage of time. He always seems to have a blind spot in understanding how to position his relationship with the royal family. However, "being good at hiding and being unscrupulous" offended a large number of courtiers, which was the defect caused by his scholar's excessive spirit and simple personality, and was not intentional. The next revenge was that when he was exiled to Guangxi to leave, he was reported by the drowning person. He changed his job and went to a remote place called Huazhou to urge him to pay his salary. Officialdom is like a theater, and officialdom is like a battlefield. A small mistake can be fatal. This man has too many shortcomings, so it can be said that the door has been opened, just a struggle to sacrifice power. As Ishikawa said, "the other party is often slandered, but it can't be ordered to end. Do you try your best to hate good people and hurt capable people?
