Biography

Jin Ying (Chinese: 金英; pinyin: Jīn Yīng; 1394–1456) was a Ming dynasty eunuch, who served as Eunuch Director of the Directorate of Ceremonial (司禮監太監) during the reign of the Xuande Emperor.

During the reign of the Xuande Emperor, he served as Eunuch Director of the Directorate of Ceremonial, and was a trusted confidant. In 1432, he and Fan Hong were both granted a pardon from death. When Emperor Yingzong ascended the throne, he and Xing An were favored and trusted. However, as Wang Zhen gained more power, they gradually lost their influence. In 1449, there was a drought in the summer and Emperor Yingzong ordered him to oversee the Ministry of Justice. He sat in the middle with the left and right officials below him, and they would review cases every six years. In the autumn, Emperor Yingzong was captured by the Mongols during the Tumu Crisis and Prince of Cheng requested him and Xing An to gather the court officials to discuss state affairs. When the Reader-in-waiting Xu Cheng (徐珵) suggested relocating to the south, he was criticized by Jin Ying and Xing An. In October 1450, he was imprisoned and sentenced to death for corruption. The Jingtai Emperor later ordered for him to be imprisoned indefinitely and never to be promoted again.
