Xie Jin is a great talent in the early days of the Ming Dynasty . He was able to remember everything since childhood and became a poem. When he grew up, he also passed the imperial examination in the imperial examination and successfully entered the court to become an official. It was very popular among the Hongwu Dynasty, Jianwen Dynasty and Yongle Dynasty.
Especially in the Yongle Dynasty, Zhu Di attached great importance to his talent and asked him to re-revise the "Taizu Records" and act as the president of " Yongle Ceremony ", and asked him to preside over the compilation of "Biographies of Women in Ancient and Modern Times". In short, Zhu Di would consider letting Xie Jin deal with the work of using pen to do it.
Once, Xie Jin was invited to attend a banquet by Zhu Di. Another minister in the court at that time, Hu Guang was also on the scene. Both of them were fellow villagers, both from Jishui, Jiangxi. Seeing this, Zhu Di suddenly said to them at the banquet:
"You two were born in the same place and have classmates. Now they are officials in the court together. Such a fate is amazing. I remember Xie Jin has a son named Xie Zhenliang. Hu Guang, you can marry your daughter. In this way, the fate of your two families will be deeper!"
Hu Guang said this Kowtowed and said, "My wife has just been pregnant for a while. I don't know whether it's a man or a woman. How can I marry?"
In response, Zhu Di smiled and said, "What your wife must have in her belly is a daughter!"
Several months later, Hu Guang's wife successfully gave birth and indeed gave birth to a daughter, so she made an appointment with Xie Jin's son to marry early.
Later, Xie Jin repeatedly expressed his support for the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Gaochi because of the issue of the prince, but he was guilty of Zhu Di and the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu . As a result, Xie Jin gradually became less and less favored. Later, for dissuading Zhu Di to send troops to Annan , he was arrested and imprisoned. A few years later, he was buried alive in the snow. His wife, children and other clan members were exiled to Liaodong area, and the entire family declined.
Seeing this, Hu Guang naturally thought about breaking the engagement between the Tongjie family. However, Hu Guang's daughter did not agree with this, but when she could not speak of her stubborn father, she swears:
"My marriage between the Tongjie family was supported by the emperor at that time. You also agreed with him personally. How can you not take it seriously because the Jie family has declined and be prepared to be untrustworthy? For this young master of the Jie family, I have married my daughter. Even if I pay the price of my life, I cannot make myself have a second heart."
Hu Guang was very uncomfortable with this because it was useless for him to agree. Jie Zhenliang was exiled in Liaodong at that time? Therefore, he could only continue to wait. After the throne of Emperor Zhu Gaochi of Renzong ascended the throne, he pardoned the clan of the Jie family, Jie Zhenliang was pardoned and returned home, and Hu Guang's daughter successfully married.
