It is even believed that Lanling Xiaoxiao Sheng (兰陵笑笑生), the author of Jin Ping Mei (金瓶梅),", was Wang Jiaping.

The pride of the Shanyin Wang family

On the afternoon of Nov. 12, a pair of four-hundred-year-old stone lions in front of the old auditorium in the ancient town of Shanyin County basked in the early winter sunshine with a serene look on their faces.

They had witnessed the bustle of their owner's court when he was the most powerful man in the world, but after a brief period of prosperity, it was just a normal day. The owner's short life is long gone, but they are lucky to have escaped one catastrophe after another. 1958, they watched over the royal minister's residence was demolished, and replaced by a large hall. Now, the auditorium has long been "old and colorful" was abandoned, but they are still watching over ......

Shi lion is the only remaining relics of the Wang family screen in the ancient city.

The ancient town, formerly known as "Shanyin City". It was the county seat of Shanyin County from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to 1937. Nowadays, the Wang family name is a big one here, and it is said that all of them are descendants of Wang Jia Ping. However, if you ask about "Wang Jiabing" in the old town, most people don't know about it because they have always honored him by calling him "Master Wang Ge" or "Master Wang Ge", and most of the townspeople don't know about it. Most people don't know the real name of "Master Wang". However, when it comes to Mr. Wang, not only do people in Shanyin know, but people as far away as Shuozhou, Datong and Xinzhou are all familiar with him.

Shanyin ancient town of Wang Xiangfu site "Wang Ge master" is the pride of the Shanyin Wang family. In Shanyin County, there is a genealogy of the Wang family screen descendants are estimated to be three or four thousand people, respectively, living in the ancient town, North Zhouzhuang and other four villages. In the ancient town of Westgate, open clinic Wang Shanghou mentioned Wang Jiabing full of excitement, took out a few books to introduce Wang Jiabing, he said: "Wang Jiabing is a good official miles! He was born at the wrong time, met Wanli so a nuisance goods ......" --- the local people tube not capable of people called "nuisance goods "meaning that such people dishonor their ancestors.

Wang Shanghou, 57, a descendant of Wang Jiabing, knows this ancestor of his like the back of his hand. "For the sake of the country, he dared to make a dispute with the emperor. Once sealed back the emperor's imperial approval! This was something remarkable at the time. But after all, the Emperor was a carriage driver. The car does not go, pulling the car again anxious and useless. Can not do, had to return to his hometown. And then big official fate is not in their own hands, alas ......" Wang Shanghou long a sigh.

Unprecedented, go to the historian two years that is auxiliary

Wang family screen ancestry Taiyuan, the beginning of the Ming Dynasty moved to Shanyin. To his father's generation, the family path of decline, and plow and read. Wang Jiabing is gifted and intelligent, can not forget. At the age of five, he was trained by his father, and at the age of thirteen, he became a scholar, and at the age of twenty-nine, he became a successful candidate. In the second year of the Longqing period, at the age of thirty-three, Wang Jiabing won the second place in the court examination and became a scholar in the Hanlin Academy. In his poem, he said, "Artemisia planted orchid paths, wrens perched on phoenix branches", this self-effacing poem more or less expresses his satisfaction with his career. This self-effacing poem more or less expresses his satisfaction with his career. "The universe is my business, and one thought can be deceived" expresses that his officialdom is for the whole world, and "Like the vegetarian in the machine, the bright and clean prevents it from being velvet. Like the stone under the mountain, chaste and firm," expresses his pursuit of character and ambition.

Soon after, Wang Jiabing was appointed as the editor of the state history.

In 1572, at the age of nine, Zhu Yijun assumed the throne of the emperor, and the year was called "Wanli".

Because Zhu Yijun was young, the actual ruler of the court was Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister. At this time, Wang Jiabing was promoted to be a compiler, as a daily lecturer, every day to the Emperor Wanli lecture on the scriptures and governance. Lecture teacher more than one person, and Emperor Wanli only love to listen to Wang Jiabing's lectures, said he "the scripture is profound, the eye does not look askance, the end of the people also." Wang Jiabing is also true that people are upright, never tend to influence. Once, Zhang Juzheng was sick, the whole court went to visit, but only Wang Jiaping did not go. In the Wanli ten years, Zhang Juzheng died of illness, anti-Zhang voice then rose, the Wanli copied the home of his teacher, to take away his original treatment and posthumous title, reprimanded his son for the people. At this time, Wang Jiabing instead of standing alone to speak for Zhang justice.

In December of the twelfth year of the Wanli reign (1584), Wang Jiabing was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Ceremony. Just one month later, Wang Jiabing became a member of the Cabinet with the title of "left minister of the Ministry of Revenue and a university professor in the East Cabinet," which means that Wang Jiabing was promoted to the position of right minister of the Ministry of Rites. The Ming history commented: "go to the historian two years that is auxiliary government, before this has not been."

So far, Wang Jiabing entered the core circle of national power, this year he was 49 years old.

Sacrificing his life and forgetting his own death, three "fight" the Emperor Wanli

In Wang Jiabing not long political career, has done a lot of good things, but the most praised by the people of the time should be counted as three "fight" the Emperor Wanli.

Wanli fourteen years, Wang Jiabing stepmother died, he went back to Shanyin worry, three years later returned to the court. The emperor also promoted him to the Minister of Rites, still part of the East Cabinet. After the pro-government Wanli became desultory and muddleheaded, the ministers could not see him for three months. In order to change this "deserted" situation, Wang Jiabing to Wanli put forward three requests: First, quickly resume the morning court, insisting that the emperor to deal with state affairs; second is to study the major issues, as soon as possible to "stay in the" of the zhangzhang approved; third is to decide as soon as possible to build the problem of the Reserve! The third is to decide as soon as possible the issue of the construction of reserves. Wanli at first praised the patriotic zeal of the screen, but then closed the door, Wang Jiabing and others ignore the proposal. Seeing the emperor's mediocrity, chaos, political corruption, the people of all kinds of status quo, Wang Jiabing heart anxious, sleep and food disturbed. He called the sky should not be, called the ground, no door, angry, so "begged to leave the return". But the emperor did not approve his resignation.

From the 14th year of the Wanli reign, the issue of the crown prince has become the core issue in the dynasty, China's imperial dynasty has always been the tradition of the first for the storage of the clear heir to avoid political turmoil, but the Wanli did not want to let the first son of the first son of Changluo successor, and would like to let the favorite concubine's son of Chang Xun grow up and then register the crown prince. So the Wanli eighteen years in October, including Wang Jiabing cabinet ministers to collective resignation to blackmail the emperor, demanded as soon as possible the establishment of the crown prince. Wanli heard the dragon face angry, pass the Oracle cut blame. Other ministers see the emperor angry on no longer say anything, only Wang Jiabing and continue to write alone, asking the emperor to quickly decide the plan. Emperor Wanli had to promise to hold the ceremony in the spring and summer of the following year.

Being with the king is like being with a tiger. Wang Jiabing "fight tiger" pay attention to ways and means, not only their own success to avoid the "tiger" of the bloody mouth, but also saved others. Wanli seventeen years in December, the Da Lisi assessor Luo Yu Ren to the emperor, pointed out that the emperor has got a kind of alcoholism, love of color, greed for money, still gas comprehensive disease, so that in recent years the political affairs are not close to, talk about the feast for a long time to drop out, favoring eunuchs in the vertical, spoiled Zheng Fei, rejected the loyal plan, etc., this rustic hit the nail on the head, the words are sharp. Wanli see sparse anger, to the Luo Yu Ren put in the heavy sentence. In this case, Wang Jiabing in order to rescue Luo Yu Ren, to their own dereliction of duty as a reason to plead with Wanli by him to for Yu Ren, at the same time, advised the emperor: "good health, not to abandon the attack on the acupuncture of the formula; good heart, not to no fault and tired of the language of the rules." "Yu Ren's four aphorisms, in order to gauge the emperor, then the doctor for the delusion of trying; in order to prepare for nourishment, may not be non-YanLi of the art also" (this paragraph is to the effect that, although dire Yu Ren's opinion is not all right, but like a doctor to give advice to the same, perhaps not for the situation at that time, but for the future of the nourishment of life or have the benefit of the good). After this defense, the emperor, although unhappy in a hundred ways, but only to revoke the original disciplinary decision.

Wanli nineteen years (1591) in the fall, in front of him several cabinet members have left, Wanli once again promoted Wang Jiaping as the first minister, 56-year-old Wang Jiaping then ascended to the pinnacle of the ministers, but also the pinnacle of his personal political life.

Anything out of justice, Wang Jiabing will take the risk to do. In the spring of the twentieth year of the Wanli reign, Li Xianke, a minister (a supervisory official in the central ministries), and others asked the emperor to begin the education of Changluo, his eldest son, who had reached the age of ten, at the standard of the emperor, which was a well-intentioned act, but it enraged the Wanli reign, which was originally reluctant to establish a crown prince, and it was designated as a felony. In order to rescue Li Xian Ke, Wang Jiabing went so far as to seal back the Emperor's imperial approval. Li Xian Ke was dismissed as a citizen and saved his life, but Wang Jiabing was blamed by the Emperor. As he could not fulfill his ambition in front of such a master, Wang Jiabing resigned on the grounds that he was physically ill.

Wang Jiabing resigned from his post as chief minister after only half a year. The dynasty and the country are all for this profound, loyal to the country, do serious work, endowed with honesty of the famous prime minister regret.

Wang Jiabing said in a report: "I hope that His Majesty for Yao, Shun's Lord, I for Yao, Shun's subjects". However, in front of that kind of master, his ambitious political ideals could only become castles in the air. He could only walk back to his hometown with sadness and anger!

Life, honor and death, now there is nowhere to find the grave mound

Wanli twenty years (1592) in March, he returned to his hometown of Shanyin. He spent the last 11 years of his life. He devoted himself to organizing his own manuscripts, and there is an anthology of his writings, Fuxuushanfangwenji (Collected Writings of the Mountain Room), which has been handed down to the world.

In the first month of the thirty-first year of the Wanli reign, the emperor, remembering Wang Jiabing's fairness and decency, sent someone to Shanyin to console him, and held a grand ceremony to give him gold coins, sheep and wine. Shortly thereafter, Jiaping died at the age of 68. After his death, the emperor gave him a posthumous name "Wenduan", and chose the shanyin heyang fort sanggan river for him to build a tomb covering an area of fifteen acres. According to historical records, the tomb, "peripheral earth wall, brick wall, there is a tomb stone door, engraved with 'the tomb of Wenduan', the hall inside the Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi three emperors awarded grants, all Le stone monument. Outside the door there are stone pillars, stone people, stone animals in two rows. A mile from the grave, there are three other imperial repair hall, the cemetery garden and the Wang family screen the same dynasty university scholar Shen Yi Guan and Shen Carp wrote the inscription ...... ".

Today, Wang Jiabing's graveyard in addition to a few holes in the large size of the mound, the ground of the facilities of the items are gone.

Heyangbao village people said, the cemetery "Cultural Revolution" before the preservation is still very complete, the east and west ringing hall, stone horse, stone people, etc. are in, "Cultural Revolution" began, the cemetery is unguarded. "After the Cultural Revolution, the stone objects in the cemetery were gradually stolen. Five or six years ago, some southerners used cranes in the middle of the night to steal several large stone monuments. Last year, the cemetery's only remaining stone lions were also stolen ......

Sanggan running water whimpering, that is in the depressed and disillusioned cabinet ministers, but also for a generation of famous prime ministers of the soul of the rest of the place to be so slow and cry.
