Xie Jin is very talented, no one can deny this, but his temperament is a big problem. He is too straightforward and proud of his talent. He is too arrogant and rude in dealing with people. He speaks straightforwardly and does not think about it. This is not a sensitive thing.
Once, Xie Jin went to the Ministry of War to ask for some servants to work. His tone was very arrogant and unhappy. He completely treated the Ministry of War as he shouted at his own home. At that time, he offended the Minister of War Shen Qing. He slandered him and would let Zhu Yuanzhang demote him to the censor.
However, although Xie Jin is rude, he has his own set in terms of identifying people's strengths and weaknesses. Once, Zhu Di wrote out the names of several ministers in the court, asking Xie Jin to judge their respective strengths and weaknesses.
In response to this, Xie Jin bluntly stated: "Although Jian Yi is quite kind and does not like to cheat others, he is a person who has no opinion and can only go with the flow; Xia Yuanji is a person with virtue, and is open-minded and polite. He will not hold a grudge just because of a small thing, but he does not know how to stay away from villains; Liu Jun is a person with great talent and strong ability to do practical things, but he often ignores righteousness. Zheng Ci is a gentleman who never does anything villain, but he lacks personal talent."
" Also, Li Zhigang is also a very talented person, but He is misbehaved and always likes to feel something that is tempted by the tendency; Huang Fu is a person with a sense of justice and a straightforward heart, and can also work hard to maintain his integrity. Although Chen Ying is relatively honest, he is too rigid in terms of usage and does not know how to adapt; Song Li is a person with a straightforward heart, but he is harsh in doing things, so he offended many people. Chen Qia is very alert and can discover problems that others cannot find, and at the same time he is quite straightforward. Fang Bin is not very talented, but he has a philanthropic heart."
Zhu Di was very satisfied with Xie Jin's straightforward answer, and at the same time gave this memorial to the prince Zhu Gaochi . Zhu Gaochi asked, "How do you evaluate these two people!"
Xie Jin answered truthfully: "Although Yin Changlong is a gentleman, he is not very powerful; Wang Ruyu has a very good literary talent, and few people in the world can compare with him, but they always like to do something that wins people's hearts!"
Later, after the crown prince Zhu Gaochi inherited the throne and became the emperor of Renzong , Xie Jin's memorial was obtained Give Yang Shiqi , Yang Shiqi truthfully said: "Everyone in the court said that Xie Jin is a very arrogant and rude person, but I see the content of his memorial, and the evaluation of the ministers in the court is very good, and it is not arrogant!"
Immediately, Xie Jin himself had been buried alive in the snow and was wronged and killed. His wife, children and the entire clan were exiled to the remote area of Liaodong . Seeing Yang Shiqi say this, Zhu Gaochi immediately summoned Xie Jin's family and Liaodong to restore them to their freedom!
