Chen Wei, the Party of Cong and calyx, impeached Dan and recommended Ji. Emperor Badan, replaced by Ji. Ji shuci said: "I'm 70 years old. I'm not as energetic as Qiao Yu. I'm not as smart as Yang Dan." Shiyu and danfang were hated by the emperor. They were not allowed. He yuan, the Prime Minister of Guanglu department, asked to build a world room, worship the emperor and discuss in the lower court. Ji and others can't hold on, Emperor Fu will follow. Ji strive to say: "Yuan said, do the division of monarch and minister, disorderly Zhaomu Lun, despise the system of ancestors, Minister sincerely ignorant death, please don't discuss." No. Many counsellors in the court had to go to bed. Three things have been done. At the end, he said that talent should be cherished, saying: "in the season of Zhengde, the clan is in danger. However, they know how to pacify the rebellious forces, but they don't know how to protect the capital. Since his Majesty's succession to the throne, he has become an old man one after another. He has been a newcomer to lianrudeng. He is a virtuous person at the wedding ceremony, and he is a prized person at the ceremony. I hope that your majesty will serve as a minister in the past year, remember his honor of protection, and conduct the call. Other demotions, demotions, and demobilizations make it self serving. " However, the emperor accepted the official style and strictly observed the orders. Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, called back the cabinet. Cong and others wanted Wang Qiong. Ji Tui, Peng Ze and Wang Shouren refused. In the name of Deng tingzhang and Wang Xian, they used the constitution.
In the first month of the fifth year, the imperial censors Zhang Guan, Yu Maojian and Zhu Shichang completed the ceremony of the world temple. They asked for forgiveness and offended all the officials. Cong and calyx also thought that they were invited, and they all went to the official department. Ji et al. Have 47 people on the list. Wei Youben, the censor, tried to impeach Guo Xun and save Ma Yong's demoted officials. He gave Shen Han and other officials in the event to talk about the rescue, but the Emperor didn't listen.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the real record of offering the emperor was completed, and the crown prince was added. To enter the Shaobao, give chi by biography, husband depending on the story. Death, gift Taibao, posthumous Fu Jing.
Chronology of life
Liao Ji was smart and studious when he was young. He didn't like to have fun. One day, Liao Xun ordered him to read a medical divination book. Liao Ji knelt down and said, "this last skill is not a husband's business." His father is different, listen to Xi Ju Zi Ye. Later, he was loved by Zou Yeyu, a famous teacher.
In the 16th year of Chenghua (1480), Liao Ji led the recommendation of Jingwei Township, but tried to make a list of Li tribes. Later, he failed in many tests. In the third year of Hongzhi's reign (1490), Liao Ji worked harder. He was really a man of ambition, and he finally won the prize. Lingshui County was once known by Qiu Jun as "far away from the land, small town, the world is no more than Yan.". Since the establishment of the school, there have been few Chinese talents. When Liao Ji won the gold medal in the capital, the news came that officials and villagers cheered and surprised him. Jin Zhang, the governor of Guangdong Province, built a Jinshi square for him in the north of Lingshui city.
In the fifth year of Hongzhi, during the period of Liao Ji's political observation (meaning Internship), he was deeply valued by Tu Fu, the censor of both the left and the right. He was the first to recommend and appoint officials, and he was the chief official of the Ministry of officials. Liao Ji began to step onto the political stage, and he did "stick to his integrity". At that time, a fellow countryman came to the capital to meet Liao Ji and gave him gifts, which he accepted. When he helped them, he would "return to Zhao in perfect condition" when they wanted to return to their hometown, and he would also give them travel expenses. Most of the cases of "clear but not exciting" are like this.
In the fourth year of Zhengde, Liao Jisheng selected a doctor. As the head of the commander, all officials bow down. Liao Ji was strict and law-abiding. According to the biography of Liao gongzhuan in Da Sima Longwan, Liao Ji has the right to ask his relatives to be the magistrate of Wujiang county and his nephew for the experience of royal guards. His colleagues said, "it's a disaster." Liao Ji replied, "if you are in trouble, you dare not say goodbye." At that time, Liu Jin, the eunuch, was in charge of the court and excluded the dissidents. Most of the upright officials in the court were persecuted by him, while Liu Yu, Jiao Fang, Zhang Cai and other villains ran to their door and became their party members. Only Liao Ji despised it and maintained a Confucian model of awe inspiring justice and fearlessness of power. It is indeed commendable that "extreme words denounce it otherwise".
In October of the ninth year of Zhengde, Liao Jijin, the right Minister of the Ministry of industry, took charge of the management and supply of tea, wood and charcoal in Yizhou. According to the biography of Liao gongzhuan in Dalongwan, Liao Ji often said to his subordinates when he was in charge of Yizhou mountain factory: "if you want to correct people, you should correct yourself first." Every year, Liao Ji would never accept the money for renting a house, paying for a vegetable garden, or the money sent by some departments. He has the right to ask him to give him tens of thousands of Jin of salary and charcoal every year, but he also refuses to agree. He saves tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver every year. So the people loved him very much and made him famous.
In April of the first year of Jiajing, Liao Ji was transferred from the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs of Nanjing to the Minister of the Ministry of military affairs of Nanjing, where he counselled the maintenance of the aircraft. When he straightened out his weapons, he looked at them a little bit and exhausted his folly. It is reported that the imperial court and eunuchs often borrowed soldiers from the Nanjing Military Department as personal private service. The phenomenon of military craftsmen escaping was serious, and the generals and soldiers were not active in running the army. All these disadvantages had a long history and could not be moved. After Liao Ji took office, he carried out a bold reform one by one, and his military administration changed.
At that time, Yang Tinghe and other Manchu civil and military officials asked Shizong to respect Wuzong's father Xiaozong for imperial examination, but Shizong insisted on respecting his father for imperial examination. Zhang Cong, a new Jinshi, supported the emperor with a strong certificate and was transferred to Nanjing by Yang Tinghe. According to the history of the Ming Dynasty, Liao Ji was impeached and dismissed for "holding a discussion with Conghe". So, how did Liao Ji hold the agreement? According to Wang Shizhen's Yanzhou four manuscripts, Liao Ji asked his subordinates, "what is Zhang Cong talking about?" No one answered. Fang Peng said, "it's just against Yang Tinghe's idea." Liao Ji said, "good!" His words came out slightly. Therefore, the censor argued for other things to impeach Liao Ji. As a matter of fact, many ministers know that it is wrong to respect their biological father. At that time, Yang Yiqing, an important official of the imperial court, was at home. After reading Zhang Cong's remarks in the di newspaper, he said, "I'm afraid that Zhang Cong's theory can't be refuted by the resurrection of the sage." Yang Tinghe also felt that it was not right. He asked someone to take a message. Zhang Cong said, "you should not go to Nanjing as an official. Don't embarrass me with" Dali theory " Liao Ji only supported the idea of "succeeding to the rule and not succeeding to the heir" in his "Dali argument", but opposed the others. Everything comes from the doctrine of the mean which he highly praised: "the way of heaven is the way of sincerity.". If you are sincere, you should be honest. After he became an official, Liao Ji returned to his hometown to visit his relatives and offer sacrifices to his ancestors in order to fulfill his wish of "showing the favor of the imperial court to his family members on the one hand and showing the courtesy of his foolish grandson on the other.". There is a poem reading Fayun temple
There is no need to travel far. This place is Danqiu.
The ancient temple is separated from the noise, and the fine blue scenery is quiet.
Escape Zen is self-adaptive, delay quiet elegant congenial.
There is a legacy of the case, open Xuan Huo two eyes.
In October 1524, Liao Ji was recommended as the Minister of the Ministry of officials. Liao Ji said politely, "I'm 70 years old. I'm not as energetic as Qiao Yu, and I'm not as smart as Yang Dan. I'm not so smart as Yang Dan. How dare I live here when I leave." Emperor Jiajing didn't allow it, so Liao Ji was obliged to obey. After entering the power center of the imperial court, he practiced the idea of "loyal to the monarch and worried about the country" and gave full play to the Confucian idea of governing the country and pacifying the world.
The Secretary of the Ministry of official controlled the power of personnel in the whole country, such as the establishment and establishment of the central and local organizations, the appointment of officials, the examination of courses, and the removal of officials. The selection of officials by the Ministry of official is related to the quality of national governance. Liao Ji, like Shantao, is a pillar of the country. He is a man of merit and has the courage to recommend. According to Liao Jizhuan in Ming history, Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides, called back the cabinet, and Zhang Cong and others wanted Wang Qiong to be the governor of the three sides. Liao Ji recommended Peng Ze and Wang Shouren. But the emperor did not allow it. We recommend Deng tingzhang and Wang Xian again, using Wang Xian. Liao Ji tries his best to stop the villains. According to the record of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of officials was ready to let Wang Jia, Qian Zixun and other crafty villains retire. However, the emperor supported Wang Jia and Qian Zixun when discussing the ceremony, and intended to reuse them, but Liao Ji insisted that they should not.
