In the Ming Dynasty, the brocade clothes and guards copied the family, the loyal ministers were wronged, and the queen mother was in pain
Throughout the ages, talented people have produced many generations, and no matter what era, there are loyal subjects who are loyal to the country and benefit the people, and this is the spiritual outlook of the Chinese. We are familiar with the lives of many poets, understand their hardships, and understand their helplessness of not being able to be loyal to the country and doing things for the people, but the original intention of most of them is always to use their talents to assist the monarch in governing the country.
In the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian was recognized as the first loyal minister, he did his best, for the country and the people, but he was wrongfully beheaded. Even when raiding the house, Jin Yiwei couldn't help crying. After the Queen Mother learned of his death, she did not eat water and rice and grieved for several days. "
Zhu Qizhen, a generation of heroes in the Ming Dynasty, has many legendary stories in his life, one of which is about Yu Qian being wrongfully beheaded. In the course of the development of the Ming Dynasty, Warat has always been an important threat.
Especially during the Orthodox years, the power of Warat became increasingly powerful and frequently invaded the Ming Dynasty. In the past, the Ming Dynasty's diplomatic method was a tributary system, and the Taishi of Wara often took advantage of this to ask the Ming Dynasty for rewards.
For the tribute envoys of Warat, no matter what tribute they brought, the Ming Dynasty would reward them and distribute them according to the head. First of all, he took advantage of this opportunity to constantly expand the number of tributes to satisfy his greed.
The original copy was about the story of Emperor Zhu Qizhen, despite the dissuasion of the ministers, because of the instigation of the authoritarian eunuch Wang Zhen, who decided to drive the imperial expedition in person, which triggered a series of incidents.
The new copy is as follows: The young Zhu Qizhen has great ambitions and wants to prove his ability and at the same time raise the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. However, the authoritarian eunuch Wang Zhen was indignant about this, and he proposed to the emperor to reduce the reward, so as to incite Zhu Qizhen to personally conquer.
In the face of the ministers' strong dissuasion, Zhu Qizhen was still young and vigorous and insisted on his decision. In order to be able to successfully conquer in person, Zhu Qizhen made his two-year-old son the crown prince and let the king of Yu supervise the country to ensure that he had no worries.
In a hurry, Zhu Qizhen only got 200,000 horses, and claimed that there were 500,000, and this news also became an excuse to send troops first.
At the same time as the Ming Dynasty army was advancing, the news of the defeat came from the front, which made some soldiers have the idea of retreating. However, in order to preserve the emperor's honor, Wang Zhen proposed a detour from his hometown of Ulju.
Although Ulju is very close to Datong, it may be overtaken by the Warat army if it is delayed. Despite the strong opposition of the ministers, Zhu Qizhen decided to follow Wang Zhen's advice.
However, just as they were on their way to Tumu Fort, the Ming army was overtaken by the Wara army and a hasty battle began. Zhu Qizhen was captured in this battle, Wang Zhen was killed, and several other ministers were killed in the battle.
The battle took a heavy toll on the vitality of the Ming Dynasty, and the prospect of the emperor being captured was worrying, and the internal struggle for the throne became more intense.
Faced with the capture of the Ming emperor, he also felt at a loss at first, and at this time his younger brother made a suggestion: use the emperor to ask the Ming Dynasty for money. At this critical moment, the ministers led by Yu Qian asked the Empress Dowager for an edict, decided to establish King Yu as the emperor, respect Zhu Qizhen as the emperor, and ordered the border pass to cut off all contact with the Wara army.
However, he first found that the situation was not as smooth as he imagined, so he decided to attack the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Yu Qian was appointed by the Empress Dowager as the secretary of the military department, responsible for resisting the invasion of Wara and defending the Beijing division.
Yu Qian carefully planned, led the generals to resist hard, and used firearms to defeat the Warat army, winning the battle.
After the war, the Warat people left the border areas. The following year, Zhu Qiyu changed his year name, and at this time, it had been nearly a year since Emperor Taishang was captured, and he did not get any benefits from him, nor did he dare to kill him, let alone continue to attack the Ming Dynasty.
In this dilemma, he first decided to seek peace from the Ming Dynasty and protect his interests as much as possible. also planned to release people and re-establish friendly relations with the Ming Dynasty, but when Yingzong returned, what should Zhu Qiyu, who had already sat on the throne, do?
So, he sent Yang Shan and others to visit, and they took the opportunity to take Yingzong back. After Yingzong was released, he was imprisoned in Nangong by Emperor Jingtai for seven years.
Yu Qian, a resolute and concerned about the country, was disgusted by everyone because of his prejudice against the weak and incompetent minister. When Ye attacked the Ming Dynasty first, and after Zhu Qizhen was captured, Yu Qian resolutely refused to negotiate peace with Ye Xian, which made Ming Yingzong dissatisfied with him.
In addition, when Yingzong was captured, Xu Hui proposed to move the capital to Nanjing, which was reprimanded by Yu Qian. Yu Qian firmly believed that Jingshi was the foundation of the country and could not be easily moved. Whenever he thinks of this, Yingzong holds a grudge against Yu Qian.
Shi Heng was dismissed from his post for violating military law, but was later forgiven with the help of Yu Qian, so he has mixed feelings about Qian. In the battle of Deshengmen, his credit was not as good as Yu Qian, but he was promoted and knighted because of this, which made him feel very guilty.
So, he wanted to take this opportunity to recommend Yu Qian's son. However, Yu Qian resolutely rejected his proposal, which made Shi Heng feel ashamed and hateful for Qian. In 1457, Daizong was seriously ill, and Shi Heng and others supported Zhu Qizhen to restore the throne, and then immediately arrested Yu Qian and others and put them in prison.
As for Yu Qian's crimes, they were all framed by Shi Heng and others. In the end, Yu Qian was sentenced to death. At first, Yingzong was hesitant about this matter, but at the suggestion of Xu Youzhen and others, he also agreed.
On the twenty-third day of the first month, Yu Qian was executed. The Empress Dowager did not know about his death, but after learning about it, she was very sad and regretful for his death, and sighed for several days.
Soon after Yu Qian's death, less than a year after he took office, the military department Shangshu began to do nothing and amass a lot of wealth. When this matter reached Yingzong's ears, he was very dissatisfied with this Shangshu, and he couldn't help but compare him with Yu Qian, and in contrast, he felt more and more that Yu Qian was honest and noble.
When Yu Qian was an official, his sleeves were clean, because Zhu Qizhen was captured, the Ming Dynasty was under a lot of pressure, he often lived in the duty room, and his family did not have too much wealth. When his house was searched, the most precious items found were given to him by Daizong.
Because of Wu Jin's words, Yingzong realized the importance of Yu Qian more deeply. A few years later, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and others were punished one after another, and Yu Qian's grievances gradually surfaced.
At that time, many people firmly believed in Yu Qian's innocence. Yingzong also deeply regretted Qian's death, and it was not until the Xianzong period that Yu Qian's son Yu Mian wrote a letter of appeal and was able to restore Yu Qian's official position.
During the period of filial piety, Yu Qian was posthumously gifted and was respected and admired by the people everywhere. Every festival, people come to worship him.
Yu Qian, all his life, took the Jiangshan Sheji as his own responsibility, and did his best for the Ming Dynasty. He came from a family of eunuchs, but his father chose to live in seclusion. Yu Qian was deeply influenced by his family style and studied diligently since he was a teenager.
He was deeply attracted by Wen Tianxiang's integrity and vowed to become like him. In order to remind himself at all times, he hung a portrait of Wen Tianxiang next to his seat.
While playing at the age of seven, a monk prophesied that Yu Qian would take up an important official position in the future to save fortune. Fourteen years later, Yu Qian entered the official career and followed Zhu Zhanji to quell the rebellion of the Han king, and his words were sharp and made the Han king feel terrified.
His performance pleased Xuanzong and ordered him to thoroughly investigate other cases in Jiangxi. In this investigation, Yu Qian rehabilitated hundreds of unjust cases, showing his impartiality and selflessness.
Yu Qian has been honing in officialdom for many years, and Xuanzong is satisfied with his excellent performance. At the same time, the post of governor was added, and Xuanzong promoted him. After Yu Qian took office, he conducted a detailed investigation of the jurisdictional area, and played many times when faced with major affairs.
Under his rule, the people lived a stable life and agriculture developed rapidly. For the poor people, he ordered that the grain be distributed in March every year according to the quota and returned after the autumn harvest.
In exceptional cases where repayment is not possible, he exempts him.
In order to improve the lives of the people, he ordered the construction of embankments to resist the damage caused by the floods. To ensure the implementation of the order, he also set up a pavilion chief. Due to the remoteness of Datong, it is difficult to govern Shanxi, so he also asked the imperial history to assist in the management to ensure that the needs of the local people are met.
He has always adhered to the concept of serving the people and sharing worries for the court, although he is an honest official, he has been framed many times. In the early years of orthodoxy, when "Sanyang" presided over cabinet affairs, he was very important to him, believing that he would be able to make great achievements in the future.
Therefore, they all adopted Yu Qian's proposal as soon as possible. However, when "Sanyang" died, the traitors took power, and their dissatisfaction with him gradually turned into a malicious frame.
Wang Zhen was a powerful eunuch at that time, and he relied on his power to collect money every day, which made many people feel dissatisfied. Despite this, due to his excessive power, there are still people who flatter him for his promotion, and even need to pay a lot of silver taels to get his favor.
During this period, Wang Zhen amassed countless wealth, which is eye-popping.
Yu Qian was an upright man who hated hypocrisy and bribery. Every time he went to Beijing to perform, he insisted on not bringing any gifts, even if he gave him local specialties. However, his integrity caused some people to be dissatisfied.
He was advised to send at least some local specialties, but he firmly said, "Only the breeze." Wang Zhen discovered Yu Qian's arrogance and wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge on him. Li Xi obeyed Wang Zhen's orders and wrote that Yu Qian held a grudge because he was not promoted and wanted to recommend someone else to take his place.
As a result, Yu Qian was convicted for being wronged. However, the people were very dissatisfied with what happened to him, and they jointly wrote a letter strongly demanding that Yu Qian be released. Wang Zhen saw this situation, so he had to find an excuse to cover it up, he said that there was a person with the same name and surname as Yu Qian who had a grudge against him, and he arrested him by mistake.
As a result, Yu Qian was released, but he was demoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and later imprisoned in Shanxi.
Yu Qian, a celebrity loyal minister who adheres to his original intention, his birth is also full of mythology. His father had dreamed of a god the night before he was born, and the god expressed his deep admiration for the family's loyalty, so he decided to reincarnate in their family.
Yu Qian's whole life has been fighting for his original intention, he has tried his best to share the emperor's worries, do things for the people, and protect the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but he does not disdain to be left and right, which makes him repeatedly frustrated.
However, being above the court and facing all kinds of **, the most difficult thing is to stick to his heart, and he did it. His story teaches us that even in difficult times, we must stick to our original intentions and fight for justice.
When the father heard this, he was surprised and immediately thanked him. But the immortal disappeared after he finished speaking. Soon after, Yu Qian was born. And the word "Qian" represents his father's gratitude to the gods.
Although this is just a folk saying, Yu Qian's subsequent behavior is like a god in the world. In order to commemorate him, ancestral halls were set up in many places in later generations. Among them, the Yu Qian Temple in Beijing is a key protected cultural relic.
After Yu Qian's unjust case was revealed, Hangzhou City established Yu Qian Temple next to Yu Qian's tomb in order to commemorate this great figure, which is also known as the "Jinggong Temple".
Subsequently, Yu Qian's cemetery was officially included in the list of national key cultural relics protection units in 2006, and has become an important cultural landscape in Zhejiang Province.
Life and death are fateful, but the death of some people is heavier than Mount Tai. Yu Qian is such a person. His grievances were thoroughly washed away in later generations, and his innocence was restored.
