Judy's favourite Ji Gang learned that Zhao Gao called a deer a horse. What should Judy do?

The biggest villain in the two "Murder Cases of Daming Provincial Court" produced by CCTV is Ji Gang, the husband of Zhou Xin's sister-in-law and commander of the Royal Guards. In the play, Ji Gang is ruthless and greedy, relying on the emperor's favor to do evil, and his power is so great that hundreds of officials are silent. Ji Gang in history is really not a good man. Jie Jin and Zhou Xin, celebrities in Yongle period, both died at his hands. Ji Gang is listed as the first person in the happy story of Ming Dynasty, which shows that he is full of evil.

First, speculation in the middle.

Ji Gang, a native of Shandong, was originally a county student. The prince was in trouble and went south to pass his county. Ji Gang stopped the plane halfway and asked to serve the prince. With this spirit of self-recommendation, Ji Gang successfully attracted the attention of the prince. The prince talked with him about the general trend of the world, and Ji Gang spoke clearly and catered to the wishes of the prince. The prince liked it very much, and Ji Gang got paid for it.

Ji Gang has all the qualified courtier skills. He is not only articulate about the political trend, but also good at bowing horses. He is also good at speculating on leadership psychology. Such excellent talents naturally stand out and have served as thousands of health care centers at a young age.

Jing Nan succeeded. After the Prince of Yan ascended the throne, it was difficult for him to make a great contribution to Jingnan. In the process of Jingnan, Ji Gang abandoned the dark and turned to the light, and went to the command of the Royal Guards who were rewarded with three awards to take charge of Zhao Prison. This office is absolute power. At that time, the East Factory was not established, and Jinyiwei was the only secret service in the country, with eyes and ears all over the world and privacy of subjects everywhere. The commander of the Royal Guards is no less powerful than the Cabinet. Ji Gang was also in charge of the emperor's pro-army and was directly responsible for the emperor's safety, which fully showed the emperor's trust in him.

Second, after taking power.

After Jingnan, Chen Ying, an imperial envoy, copied the loyal ministers of Wen Jian, and dozens of old ministers of Wen Jian were eliminated, so Chen Ying won the favor of Yongle. Seeing this scene, Ji Gang knew where Yongle's heart disease was, so he launched a second inventory of Wen Jian's old ministers, hoping to rebuild his exploits. Ji Gang's business is espionage and spying on private affairs, so Ji Gang's actions are naturally faster than suggestions and investigations, and the investigation is thorough. Wen Jian's veteran suffered another disaster, so Ji Gang was more trusted and favored by Yongle.

Renwu martyrdom

Ji Gang widely distributed eagle dogs with eyes and ears, and the people had nothing to hide. He dared to say that Jingnan was a traitor, and the prince was not in the right position, and they were all convicted and executed. With this ability, Ji Gang's achievements have reached a new height. Yongle was very satisfied with the accusations made by Luo Zhi, such as Ji Gang, and was more at ease to handle cases that satirized the emperor and the new dynasty. The result is a vicious circle. The more the emperor trusted Ji Gang, the more he wanted to find the thief. The more the anti-thief Ji Gang found out, the more the emperor felt that Ji Gang was effective and a rare loyal minister.

Emperor Yongle

Third, Luo Zhi's allegations.

Ji Gang took control of the Royal Guards in the early days of Yongle, so he successfully established his own clique, with cronies all over the main departments of the Royal Guards. Ji Gang is also in charge of Zhao Prison, which is a prison for criminal officials and also has the right to trial. Ji Gang is actually in charge of police power and judicial power, providing one-stop services of investigation, arrest, interrogation and detention. These key steps in the judicial process were under the control of Ji Gang, which caused the disadvantage that Ji Gang actually monopolized the highest judicial power in the Ming Dynasty.

Ji Gang was tortured in Zhao prison. Most of the criminal officers are literati, and their fingers have not touched the spring water. How can they endure the torture of the tiger and wolf jailers? Most of them were forced to confess. Among the many unjust prisons created by Ji Gang, the deaths of Jie Jin and Zhou Xin are the most tragic.

Zhou Xin

Jie Jin is the biggest celebrity in Yongle Dynasty. He is honest, and he doesn't like the evil behavior of the Royal Guards. Yuan Tai, Ji Gang's confidant, framed the minister for Luo Zhi, and no one dared to impeach him. Only Jie Jin presented "On the Rape of Yuan Tai" to the emperor, and Yuan Tai was punished, so Ji Gang and Jie Jin forged an issue.

Then, Ji Gang provoked Jie Jin in public, and Jie Jin used "a reed on the wall, top-heavy; Bamboo shoots in the mountains, sharp mouth and thick skin, empty stomach "is an eternal famous sentence." Ji Gang made a fool of himself, and their hatred deepened. "In the eighth year of Yongle (14 10), Hanwang reported to the emperor that Jie Jin had privately visited the prince and had an evil plan. Ji Gang immediately arrested Jie Jin and froze him to death.

Jie Jin

Zhou Xin, the provincial judge of Zhejiang Province, was known as the Bao Qingtian of the Ming Dynasty because of his integrity. The history of Ming Dynasty called him "heartless", and Zhou Xin once punished Ji Gang's cronies who did bad things, so he offended Ji Gang. Ji Gang was charged with Luo Zhi. In the 11th year of Yongle (14 13), he was beaten to pieces on his way to Beijing, and then he was detained in Zhao prison for a long time. In the 14th year of Yongle (14 16), Ji Gang bewitched the emperor and directly sentenced Zhou Xin to death. On the day Zhou Xin was beheaded, the whole Zhejiang province cried, and everyone was indignant.

Fourth, ambition soared.

Ji Gang's greed is very comparable. In the ten years of Yongle, Ji Gang became more and more courageous. He even forged the imperial edict, embezzled state-owned assets, and took all the 4 million stone salt produced by the national saltworks as his own. In order to transport salt, he requisitioned official ships, horses and ox carts under false imperial edict, and did not give money after use.

Greed is growing and ambition is expanding. There was a system in the Ming Dynasty, except that the imperial court used eunuchs, that is, the prince surnamed Zhu, but Ji Gang dared to castrate 100 people as his personal servants. After the king of Jin and the king of Wu were expelled from the princes, Ji Gang led people to confiscate the wealth of the two kings. He not only embezzled the wealth of the two kings' houses, but even took their royal robes for his own use at the banquet. Moreover, the utensils used by Ji Gang exceeded the specifications of the king and were at the same level as the emperor, so the participants were afraid to expose him.

Five, refer to a deer as a horse

Whoever God wants to destroy must be expanded first. The reason for Ji Gang's downfall was that it was too drifting. Originally, ministers kept their mouths shut about Ji Gang in private, so Ji Gang had to show off his power in front of Emperor Yongle.

In the 14th year of Yongle (14 16), during the Dragon Boat Festival, Yongle called a ceremonial contest to shoot willows. Ji Gang wanted to see if the ministers obeyed him, so he learned to look like Zhao Gao in the Qin Dynasty and played a game in front of the emperor. When he shot the willow, he deliberately missed the willow branch, then asked his men to break it, and then shouted to see if anyone dared to play the devil's advocate. As a result, no one really exposed. Ji Gang is gone with the wind. He thinks he is Zhao Gao of the Ming Dynasty, and his power can go further, so he wants to rebel.
