Xie Hong, a master of modern handicrafts, traveled to the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty.
Xie Hong was lucky because he, the most playful person, met the most playful emperor.
Xie Hong was unfortunate because people who played with the emperor had a bad reputation and were called jesters!
Academician Li Dongyang (distressed): "What a traitor! The emperor was led astray by jesters like Xie Hong."
The great eunuch Liu Jin (distraught): "What a monster! Our family has served the emperor for ten years before we can make a name for ourselves. He actually became sworn sworn brother to the emperor in just one month."
Emperor Zhengde (proudly): "What a talent! It's good to know how to play and do tricks. I like it!"
Later historians said: "Xie Hong was a jester in the court and a capable minister in the court. The reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to dominate the world and spread its virtues all over the world was because of this man."
