Wang Shu

Wang Shu, as a censor, submitted a memorial impeaching the powerful eunuch Wang Zhen for corruption and abuse of power. This act of defiance made him a target but also a symbol of integrity among Ming officials.

After Wang Zhen's faction retaliated, Wang Shu was exiled to a remote post. He remained in obscurity for years until being rehabilitated later in his career. His exile highlighted the dangers of challenging eunuch power.
