He was appointed as the censor of Shandong Province, Sichuan Province, the right servant of the Ministry of punishment, the inspector of Lianghuai salt tax and the left servant of the Ministry of officials. In the imperial edict of Yi Chu of emperor Daizong in the reign of Jingtai, "the father has a son passed down from all over the world" comes from Wenyuan. It is said that the imperial court ordered the arrest of Wenyuan and his father hanged himself. In 1454, he Qiaoxin became a Jinshi in the fifth year of Jingtai. He served as the head of the etiquette department in Nanjing and went back to his hometown to mourn. Jieji, a fellow countryman who was once a servant, once learned from Wen Yuan, but was at odds with he Qiaoxin's brother. He falsely accused Wen Yuan that his death was actually due to being forced to commit suicide by his sons and forced to marry his father and concubine. He Qiaoxin also revealed that when jieji was the governor, he had recommended Huang and drafted the replacement of crown prince Shu on his behalf. Both were tried. Wen Yuan's concubine decided why brother Qiao Xin's lawsuit was eased. Yingzong also released jieji from questioning because he had been pardoned in advance. After that, he Qiaoxin kept watch for his mother's funeral. After the funeral, he was transferred to the head of the Ministry of punishment and transferred to Guangdong doctor. He Qiaoxin will punish the guards of the Royal Guards for breaking the law and will not forgive them at all. They all command Yuan Bin to entrust him to handle affairs, but he Qiaoxin insists.

Disaster relief in Shanxi Province

In 1468, he was promoted to Vice Minister of Fujian. Shouning's silver mine was illegally mined, and more than a thousand people were gathered to plunder it everywhere. He Qiaoxin recruited troops to capture his leader. You, a Hao family in Funing, killed people. He went in and out with bodyguards and weapons and resisted arrest for 20 years. The Xue family of Fuqing often went to sea to do business with foreign businessmen. After the incident, they plotted a rebellion. They were all captured and killed by he Qiaoxin. The Fuan and Ningde silver mines had no mines to open for a long time, and the relevant departments still collected mining taxes, which led to the bankruptcy of many people. He Qiaoxin came out to talk about reducing taxes by two-thirds. Since the beginning of Hongwu, the people of Xinghua had rented cattle from the government. Until then, they still asked for tax every year, and Qiao xinshangzuo exempted them. Qingliu and Guihuali were separated between Shaxian and Jiangle. Depending on the dangerous terrain, they did not pay taxes. He Qiaoxin told duyushi to set up Guihua County, and the local people began to be constrained. He Qiaoxin was promoted to be the inspector general of Henan Province. When a famine broke out in Henan Province, according to the old rule, relief loans would last until autumn. He Qiaoxin said, "autumn means that we can rely on the autumn harvest. Can we rely on it this autumn?" So the relief didn't stop until the next year. Duyushi Yuanjie went to Nanyang to appease the refugees and took he Qiaoxin to help. In the past, Xiang Zhong drove the refugees away too much. When the refugees heard that Yuan Jie had arrived, they even hid in the valley. He Qiaoxin personally went to appease and registered more than 60000 households. He was promoted to Huguang right minister. Jingzhou people suffered from corvee, he Qiaoxin verified that the population was rich and poor, divided into nine classes, so that the people get benefits.
In the 16th year of Chenghua (1480), he Qiaoxin was promoted to the right deputy censor of the capital inspection yuan and governor of Shanxi. He said: "once these people meet the enemy, they are bound to disclose the situation of border defense in order to survive. They are all the guides of the enemy thieves. It should not be allowed to go out of the fortress without authorization. There are crimes against it and garrison generals. " Emperor Xianzong issued an imperial edict to agree. When the enemy invaded the frontier fortress, he Qiaoxin and his general Zhiyu set up an ambush in Huigou camp and killed a large number of enemies. He was promoted to the left Deputy censor. He Qiaoxin's performance of exemption from miscellaneous taxes and four tenths of salt tax for household registration is not good. He impeached Qian Shi Shang Jing and Liu Yuan for delaying the investigation and trial, and asked the emperor to order the trial officials all over the world. If the case was delayed for more than half a year, the crime of officials should be discussed. Emperor Xianzong praised him and issued an imperial edict immediately. He Qiao was appointed the right servant of the Ministry of punishment. There was a severe famine in Shanxi Province, which resulted in the tragedy of cannibalism. He Qiaoxin was ordered to help more than 300000 people and resettle 140000 displaced families. Back to the court, it happened that Yang you, the Xuanfu envoy of Anning, wanted to seize the title of Yang AI, the Xuanfu envoy of Bozhou, and falsely accused Yang AI of conspiracy. He Qiaoxin went to investigate and worked with Governor Liu Zhang to clear Yang AI's grievances. When Yang you was removed from his official post and placed in his house, the Bozhou people were at peace.

To admonish with outspoken words

When Xiaozong ascended the throne, Wan'an and Liu Ji hated Qiao Xingang's uprightness and transferred him to Nanjing as Minister of the Ministry of punishment. All Luzhou along the river was occupied by eunuchs. He Qiaoxin was transferred from the imperial court under the pretext of giving the emperor the money to prepare for the use. Eunuch Huaien thought it was unfair. One day, he went to the cabinet and said, "when the new king ascends the throne, he should appoint upright people. Why is he transferred?" Wan An and others have nothing to say. Soon Du Ming, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, was dismissed. Everyone thought that he Qiaoxin should replace him, while Liu Ji took the place of Wan'an as the first assistant. He always hated him and did not take him as Minister of the Ministry of punishment for a long time. After changing the title to Hongzhi, he Qiaoxin was called to replace Du Ming with Wang Shu's recommendation. He Qiaoxin said: "in the old system, sending officials to investigate cases and arrest must carry detailed approval documents to the local government for inspection. Recently, only general posts are used instead of conforming to the contract. The old system should be restored to prevent coercion. " Xiaozong approved it immediately. At this time, Liu Ji hated upright people and frequently made big cases. He Qiaoxin corrected them according to the law. Liu Ji hated him more and more. He Qiaoxin's salary was cut off several times. In the summer of the second year of Chenghua (1489), when the capital was flooded, he Qiaoxin asked for compensation for the victims. Considering the injustice of the criminal law, Liu Ji blocked all the changes in Chen's law. The official position of Dali Cheng was short of people, and the imperial censor Zou Lu planned to promote him, while he Qiaoxin recommended the doctor Wei Shen. When he Qiaoxin's uncle's family filed a lawsuit with the villagers, Zou Lu falsely accused he Qiaoxin of accepting bribes to protect his uncle's family. Liu Ji took an order from the palace to send his uncle and his family to prison, so he Qiaoxin asked Shangshu to return home. Soon, after all, there was no evidence. Zou Lu was stopped paying his salary because of a false accusation, and he Qiaoxin also agreed to retire.

Life in old age

After returning home, Chen Quan, the governor of Jiangxi Province, wrote: "he Qiaoxin has always maintained his integrity. He was only suspected of accepting gifts from relatives, but was ordered to resign. It's a pity that he didn't know how to advance or retreat. Please go to investigate. If the officer is not ill, he will be appointed. If he is ill, he will be comforted, so as to retain his favor to the old and preserve the integrity of advance and retreat. " Xiaozong refused. Later, he Qiaoxin was recommended by many officials inside and outside the imperial court, and Xiaozong was no longer used. In 1503, he Qiaoxin died at the age of 76. Lin Jun, governor of Jiangxi Province, asked for posthumous titles for Peng Shao and he Qiaoxin, and the Ministry of officials also asked. Xiaozong issued a decree to report the reason for he Qiaoxin's resignation, and Wu Shizhong said: "he Qiaoxin's learning, behavior and administration are very good. He is loyal, diligent, upright and upright. The older he is, the more so he is. The censor Zou Lu falsely accused him with personal enmity. He didn't argue a word. He retired from his post and returned home. He wrote books behind closed doors and had little contact with others. No scholar official didn't appreciate his conduct. In the 11th year of Zhengde (1516), Zhang Jie, magistrate of Guangchang county, why Qiao Xin spoke, he Qiaoxin was granted the title of crown prince Taibao and his son was allowed to attack he Qiaoxin. In the second year, he was granted the posthumous title of Wensu.

He Qiaoxin replied: "it's not death day for LV Wenhuan to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty instead of writing about rebellion, for Zhang Shijie to die in the sea for his country; it's not appropriate for Cao Bin and Bao Zheng to write about their official positions instead of describing Fuxi and Xuanyuan's various grotesques." Zhou Xuan was surprised. When he grew up, he read a lot. He heard that rare books were always borrowed and copied.
