During the Ming Dynasty, ** was rampant, and many famous ** such as Qi Jiguang, Zhang Juzheng, Xu Jie, etc. were considered to be **. Their corrupt practices stem from low wages that are not enough to make ends meet.
Therefore, after many years of hard work in the cold window, many ** can only live the days of cabbage and tofu, and they are always worried about being exposed.
However, even in such an environment, the Ming Dynasty also emerged some capable people who regarded money as dung, who were dedicated to the people, famous all over the world, and became the pride of the Ming Dynasty.
Mr. Wang Yangming is one of the representatives, and his spirit has influenced the entire Ming Dynasty until today.
Hai Rui, the first Qing official of the Ming Dynasty, his influence even exceeded that of the emperor, which stemmed from his incorruptibility. When he first arrived in Chun'an as the magistrate, his strict management made it impossible for the county government staff to pay a penny, and they even went on strike to coerce him.
But Hai Jui was not weakened by this, and he shocked everyone by deciding to replace the vacant position with the whole family. In addition, since Hai Rui took office, the cost of the journey from Chun'an to the capital has also changed dramatically.
Hai Rui walked from Chun'an, Zhejiang Province to the capital, the whole journey was more than 1,000 kilometers, and it only cost 55 taels. This came as a surprise to the staff who reimbursed the funds.
After learning about the situation, the staff learned that Hai Rui hardly took a car, nibbled on flatbread every day for a living, couldn't find accommodation at night and made do with it in the haystack, and invited people to eat at roadside stalls after arriving in the capital.
Hai Jui's tenacity is admirable.
Although Yu Qian's merits cannot be compared with Hai Rui, in the Ming Dynasty, his merits are second to none.
In the Battle of Beijing, Yu Qian led nine generals to successfully beat the arrogant Mongols back to the steppe for grazing in the case of the annihilation of the whole army, avoiding the danger of losing half of the Ming Dynasty.
This battle made Yu Qian famous in a battle, and the official was a young man. As a young guard, Yu Qian lives a simple life and is not greedy for pleasure, even if someone recommends his son for promotion for the purpose of sycophancy, he sternly refuses.
In Liu Qian's portrait, there is also a song "Lime Yin". After the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, Yu Qian was slandered and executed by Xu Youzhen. In the process of raiding the house, the officers and soldiers were surprised to find that Yu Qian's house only had the python robe and sword rewarded by Zhu Qiyu, which proved Yu Qian's innocence.
The people worshipped him here, and even the Empress Dowager Sun wept for him. Yu Qian's "Lime Yin" is a testimony of his innocence in his life.
