解縉[View] [Edit] [History]ctext:447058
He served as Chief Grand Secretary (首輔), the most senior member of the Grand Secretariat during the reign of Yongle Emperor. He was very knowledgeable and was appreciated by the Emperor. In 1403, he was ordered to write a compilation of every subject and every known book of the Chinese. Xie was appointed chief compiler of this encyclopedia, later named the Yongle Encyclopedia, and completed it by 1408.
Yongle Emperor wanted to depose the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi (later Hongxi Emperor), and asked him for advice. Xie said: "The Crown Prince has benevolence and filial piety. Throughout the empire all hearts turn to him." (皇太子仁孝 天下歸心) Yongle didn't reply. Then Xie said: "What a wise grandson!" Xie hinted that Yongle had high hopes that Zhu Zhanji (later the Xuande Emperor), the eldest son of Gaochi, might be an excellent monarch in future, so Gaochi should be the next emperor. Gaochi remained in his position, but Xie was hated by the emperor's favorite son, Zhu Gaoxu. In 1406, Yongle decided to attack Vietnam. Xie strongly opposed the idea, but the emperor rejected his advice. He was dismissed from the Grand Secretariat and banished first to Guangxi and then to Jiaozhi (Vietnam).
Xie was accused by Zhu Gaoxu and thrown into the prison in 1410. Five years later, he was murdered in Nanjing by Embroidered Uniform Guard -- they got him drunk and then buried him under snow. His family was exiled to Liaodong.
Xie was rehabilitated by Chenghua Emperor, and given the posthumous name Wenyi (文毅) in 1465.
