【 The change of the door 】
th year of Zhengtong (1449), the national destiny of Ming Dynasty once appeared in advance. Due to the efforts of Yu Qian , and Zhu Qiyu and The hard work of the old ministers has helped the Ming Dynasty recover its decline in just a few years, and has made certain achievements in politics, military, economic and other aspects. The national trend has once again shown an upward momentum. Countries from far and near came to Beijing to pay tribute. Appeared.
Jingtai was facing a big test at the beginning, and Zhu Qiyu handed over a high-scoring answer sheet. Ming did not decline after this blow, and he made great contributions.
But Zhu Qiyu also has selfish intentions. He ignored everyone's dissuasion and insisted on abolishing the position of crown prince of his nephew Zhu Jianshen (son of Zhu Qiyu) and demoted him to the title of Prince Yi, and forced the title of prince to his son Zhu Jianji.
Things will continue to develop like this. The normal process will be Emperor Jingtai dies after several years of rule, and pass the throne to the crown prince Zhu Jianji, and the throne will be passed down from generation to generation in Zhu Qiyu's branch.
However, God doesn't seem to want to do this. Just the second year after Zhu Jianji was named the crown prince, the little baby died.
At the critical moment of Zhu Qiyu's extreme pain, the ministers added fuel to the fire. The Guizhou Dao Supervisor Zhong Tong submitted a memorial to re-establish Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince. In the memorial, he actually said proudly: The death of the crown prince shows who the destiny is on.
Zhu Qiyu was furious and immediately ordered Zhong Tong to be killed by a stick.
Zhong Tong was beaten to death, but it still could not stop the ministers' concern for the prince's issue, and the call for the restoration of King Yi never stopped. Emperor Jingtai firmly disagreed with the resumption of the crown prince. The logic is very simple. If the resumption of King Yi means that it was a mistake to dethrone the crown prince at that time?
Moreover, Zhu Qiyu is less than 30 years old and should have many sons at this age. As long as he gives birth to a dragon seed as soon as possible, he will be able to rebuild the parent-child crown prince again. He did not take the voices of the ministers seriously, but instead placed his hopes on the seeds of the harem, but things went against his wishes. He had not been able to have another man or woman in the following years.
What's even more serious is that it may be due to overwork. At the end of the seventh year of Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu suddenly fell ill when she was going out to worship the sky. The condition was still a bit serious, so he had to issue an order to dismiss the original New Year's Day celebration.
Now the ministers were in a bad mood. The emperor was seriously ill and the problem of the prince was at a time when it had to be solved. A group of ministers, led by Yu Qian, Minister of War, Xiao Xuan, Minister of Revenue, Jiang Yuan, Minister of Works, Shang Lu, Left Minister of War, Yao Kui, Minister of Rites, and Li Xian, Minister of Personnel, all advocated the restoration of King Yi, and they elected great talented men. Shang Lu wrote a "Restoration of the Crown", intending to submit a petition to Empress Dowager Sun to re-establish the reign of the king of Yi.
It is very clear here that Zhu Qiyu's son is gone, and Zhu Jianshen is Zhu Zhanji's eldest grandson. If Emperor Jingtai dies, he will be normal and stable ascend the throne, and no one will say anything.
After finishing the memorial, it was already late. Everyone agreed that the next day (, 17th day of the first lunar month, ) will hand over the memorial together during the morning court.
But not everyone thinks so. Every time there is a political turmoil, it is an opportunity for ambitious people. In the first month of the eighth year of Jingtai, the names of these ambitious people were: Shiheng , Xu Youzhen , Cao Jixiang , Yang Shan , Zhang Yu , Zhang Hui.
Zhu Qiyu suddenly fell ill while on a tour of the suburbs and stayed nearby in the Zhai Palace outside the city. Other ministers close to each other were not around, and Shi Heng, who was in charge of the escort, became the most trusted minister around him.
There is not only one voice about who will be the crown prince. While Yu Qian and others were planning to write a memorial, another rumor began to spread: Yu Qian, Wang Wen and other ministers were preparing to establish the prince of Xiangwang .
King Xiang was a relatively sensitive vassal king from Xuande to Zhengtong period. King Xiang Zhu Zhanqi was Zhu Zhanji's younger brother and had always been deeply loved by his mother Zhang.After Zhu Zhanji passed away, it was reported that Empress Dowager Zhang intended to establish King Xiang, and the matter was later left unresolved. Now the object is changed to Prince Xiang Zhu Qiyong , and it is also very concise.
Shi Heng saw Zhu Qiyu's condition with his own eyes, and heard the rumors about Prince Xiang, and began to make up his mind. Whether it is the reinstatement of Zhu Jianshen or the establishment of the crown prince of King Xiang, the contributions are all from Yu Qian's civil officials, and it is not the turn of military generals like Shi Heng.
But this does not mean that Shi Heng has no chance, there is still a way. As long as you move the position of a piece, the entire chess game will be reversed. At that time, Shi Heng will not only maintain his position, but also rise up and step on Yu Qian and others.
This chess piece is the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen .
As long as Zhu Qizhen is supported and the Supreme Emperor is restored successfully, Shi Heng is the minister who has made great contributions, and his success is just around the corner.
But Zhu Qizhen is now a prisoner of Nangong. To achieve this goal, the normal process will not work.
What Shiheng needs is to launch a coup.
The coup was very dangerous. Shi Heng was not strong enough by himself and had to cooperate with other ambitious people. He immediately sent someone to find Zhang Fu and Cao Jixiang.
Zhang Yu, the brother of British Duke Zhang Fu , is currently the right governor of the former military governor's office, and is in charge of the Beijing camp.
Cao Jixiang doesn't need to introduce it. This eunuch is very bold. In addition to accepting bribes, he also secretly raised a group of dead soldiers. He has many armor and weapons hidden in his home. As long as it is profitable, he dares to do anything.
Both of them were dissatisfied with the current situation. Zhang Fu was imprisoned for being arrogant and obscene in the second year of Jingtai. Cao Jixiang was still a distance from the ceiling of Silijian . After completing this vote, they will no longer have to struggle in their lives.
This trio has the convenience of entering and leaving the palace, and also has a little strength, but it still lacks one very important thing: strategy.
Shi Heng and Zhang Fu are both martial artists, and Cao Jixiang is a bold and unscheming eunuch. A coup is not about treating guests to dinner. Without a careful plan, it will not only be easily shot to death on the spot, but also implicate the entire family.
The three of them divided the work, and Cao Jixiang went to the palace to report to Empress Dowager Sun's restoration, and was endorsed by the royal family. Shi Heng and Zhang Fu went to discuss with Taichang Temple Zhengqing Xu Bin , and wanted to ask this respected old minister of the five dynasties to come out and give them advice.
Xu Bin agrees with Shi Heng's courage, but he is already very old and doesn't want to get involved in these things anymore. However, he recommended another person to Shi Heng - Xu Cheng, who once asked him to do things, should call him Xu Youzhen now.
Xu Youzhen is considered an amazing person. He not only knows how to control water, but also likes military affairs. He once presented several ways to improve the combat effectiveness of border troops . Although it was not adopted at that time, a general later found it very reasonable after hearing this, and he also specially dug out Xu Youzhen's article to learn it. The general is called Qi Jiguang .
Among the group of scholars who were studying the Four Books and Five Classics at that time, Xu Youzhen was an alternative person who understood a little science. He has written two great articles: "On the Civil and Military (Previous)" and "On the Civil and Military (Later)", and his ideals are everywhere: a real man is born between heaven and earth, and he should be a general and a prime minister, and he should be a cauldron and eat, and he should not die of old age and death. I'll waste my whole life!
Compared with Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, Xu Youzhen does have political ambitions, and a mere deputy censor cannot let him perform his skills. When he was depressed, Xu Youzhen ran around the house at night, shouting: You don’t understand me! (Walking around the house, saying: People don’t know me!)
Xu Youzhen’s ideal is very lofty. When there is an opportunity that will allow him to struggle for at least ten years, Xu Youzhen was moved.
This day happened to be the Spring Festival. After Shi Heng found Xu Youzhen, he immediately ran outside the house and looked up at the starry sky at an angle of 45 degrees in order to find out where the destiny is. It just so happened that the position of Ziwei Star in the sky had changed, as if talking to him.Xu Youzhen was very excited and said to Shi Heng and others: "Ziwei has changed, and it will take tonight to succeed. The opportunity cannot be missed."
With Xu Youzhen's detailed planning, they decided to take action immediately that night. Xu Youzhen changed into court clothes, burned incense and prayed at home, and left the house with a nervous and nervous mood. Before leaving, he told his wife and daughter: "I want to do a big thing. If I do it, it will be a blessing for the country. If I can't do it, it will be a disaster for my Xu family. You must be mentally prepared for yourself." After
, Xu Youzhen rushed When he headed to the palace, he invited Yang Shan and Wang Ji as his accomplices. Both of these people are Zhu Qizhen's confidant ministers. When Yang Shan was empty-handed, he fooled Zhu Qizhen first with just one mouth, but he did not receive any reward. Wang Ji was implicated in his relationship with Wang Zhen and has retired early. They are both supporters of Zhu Qizhen and are a little depressed.
Zhu Qizhen's reset has great benefits for them, and both of them expressed their willingness to repay the Supreme Emperor with death.
Several other people, Shi Heng called his nephew Shi Biao , Cao Jixiang took his subordinate and nephew Cao Qin, and Zhang Yi called his younger brother Zhang Hui again.
After such an operation, a coup group was officially formed. Their strength is as follows:
Strong leadership core: Xu Youzhen.
Gold medal thugs: Shi Heng, Zhang Hu, Zhang Hu.
The inner respondent in charge of the key to the imperial city: Cao Jixiang.
There are also Yang Shan, who is good at speaking and eloquently, and Wang Ji, a former civil servant who was awarded the title for his military merits.
They also had more than a thousand troops, including Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang's servants and 500 Beijing soldiers transferred from Zhang Yi. After several parties joined forces, they headed towards the imperial city together.
Target: Seize the Nangong Gate and rescue Zhu Qizhen.
code: Action to seize the door.
After the third update, the Dumen Group set off with two battalions of troops. They were worried about catching the small path forward, fearing that they would encounter soldiers patrolling the night, which would attract encirclement and suppression from the capital's garrison troops.
Logically speaking, even if they are careful, thousands of people will be able to catch a lot of attention in any case. It was very strange that many people saw them, but the troops who could stop them did not appear. Along the way, he even encountered no obstacles and arrived at the gate of the imperial city very smoothly.
Xu Youzhen was a little puzzled. It was Yu Qian who was in the admiral battalion. He could not have received any reports, but what was he doing?
The situation made him not have time to think too much. Cao Jixiang ordered the door to open. The defenders at the door were unclear, but they did not dare to ask. At the fourth update, the large group of people entered the Forbidden City from Chang'an Gate and went straight to Nangong with the attention of the defenders. Everyone wanted to smash the Nangong Palace Gate, but the palace gate was extremely solid. Shi Heng sent people to hang a huge tree on the rope, and dozens of people raised the wood and hit the door together. The door did not open, but instead shook the wall on the right, and everyone rushed in through the hole.
Zhu Qizhen spent seven years losing his freedom in Nangong until this day, when he was awakened by the loud rumbling sound in his sleep. He ran out tremblingly and found that the solid palace wall had collapsed, and a group of people holding swords and guns rushed in through the gap.
Zhu Qizhen's first reaction was panic, which easily reminded him that his younger brother sent someone to kill him. Unexpectedly, when these people saw him, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
The Supreme Emperor seemed to understand something and asked boldly: "Did you ask me to reset? This matter must be cautious."
At this time, the dark clouds suddenly dissipated, and the moon was shining. The morale of everyone was unprecedentedly high. Xu Youzhen lifted up his sleeves and helped Zhu Qizhen onto the chariot. Everyone surrounded him and headed straight for Fengtian Palace .
This coup was as smooth as playing house. When Zhu Qizhen saw the soldiers on the road, he just needed to shout: "I am the Supreme Emperor!" No one dared to stop him. Everyone entered Fengtian Hall without bloodshed, and the warriors in the hall waved their way. Jin Gua wanted to beat Xu Youzhen and others, but Zhu Qizhen stopped him.
From beginning to end, the expected armed coup did not occur, and even a little war did not occur. Xu Youzhen and his gang carried Zhu Qizhen onto the dragon throne just like they were ordered to do things. Everyone kowtowed together and shouted "Long live", Shi Heng rang the bell and drums, summoning all the ministers to come.
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the ministers waiting for the morning court began to gather outside. Hearing the bells and drums ringing, everyone entered in shift order as usual. When they looked up, they all wondered if they were still dreaming.
It was not Zhu Qiyu who sat upright on the dragon throne, but the Supreme Emperor.
Just as the ministers looked at each other and couldn't figure out the situation, Xu Youzhen stood up and shouted: The Supreme Emperor has been restored, and you won't pay homage!
Zhu Qizhen finally sat on the throne he was once familiar with again. This man had been the emperor for fourteen years. Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, he immediately understood what he should do.
"Emperor Jingtai is seriously ill, and the ministers welcome me to restore the throne. You all still hold their original official positions."
The matter has come to this point, and the ministers did not dare to act rashly, so they had to kneel down and worship. In just a few hours, Zhu Qizhen's identity dramatically changed from a prisoner to an emperor.
This strange event that happened in just one night has been recorded in history, known as the "Captain of the Gate", which made the trajectory of the Ming Dynasty turn a corner again.
[The country is the most important, the king is the least]
Review of this coup, Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng's group's actions were unimaginable. Thousands of people ran around the capital, went in and out of the Forbidden City, and were busy. In the middle of the night, I didn't encounter any actual resistance.
Is the coup group's plan too perfect, or is the defense of the capital too lax?
is not, and Zhu Qizhen's successful restoration has an extremely important relationship with another person's attitude.
On the surface, the components of the coup group include civil officials, military generals, internal officials, and veterans, and it seems that they have everything they should have. But this is just an illusion. They lack the most important thing: military power.
Wang Ji has retired. Zhang Hu is the deputy governor of the former army governor's office, and Zhang Hu is the right governor of the central army governor's office. They are the generals of the Beijing camp, but since the defeat of Tumu Fort, the three camps in the original concept have been No more. When Yu Qian presided over the defense battle for the capital, he carried out military reforms, and adapted more than 100,000 soldiers available to the three major battalions into " Tenth Regiment Battalion ". The old and weak eliminated from the 10th Regiment Battalion were called "hometown". It is collectively called the Jing Army or Jing Camp.
During the Jingtai period, the 10th Regiment Camp was the original three camps of the capital, and the Beijing Camp was similar to an institution of a military nursing home.
Wuqing Hou Shiheng was the general officer of the regiment battalion, but he did not have the power to mobilize troops. Zhang Yu and Zhang Yu also did not have them. The 500 old and weak soldiers from the Beijing camp they brought were deceived by the excuse that the Oirats came to harass them again and that the safety of the capital needed to be protected.
So who can mobilize the troops of the regiment camp? Strictly speaking, only the emperor can do it.
The military leadership system of the Ming Dynasty used the principle of civilized military operations and internal control of external control. Military officers at all levels were strictly prohibited from privately dispatching troops. All orders for recruitment, guarding, tribute, and preservation were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.
Under normal circumstances, the process of dispatching troops should be the Ministry of War requesting the order. The Military Department will go to , the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and receive the fire cards and military talismans according to the order, and send them to the Ministry of War, and then the Ministry of War will implement it in detail. The principle of this system is "When combined, the breathing will be connected, and when divided, the canine teeth will be controlled" , avoiding the situation where the general, the powerful minister or the eunuch, the master, or the eunuch, control the army.
But there is a saying that goes, rules are dead, people live. In the emergency situation where the emperor is absent and the coup is about to happen, it is meaningless to hold on to the rules. Yu Qian, the most trusted minister of Emperor Jingtai, who was the Minister of War and the Admiral’s Regiment, was the highest-level official, and he had the power to act cheaply.
This is a politically correct issue. As long as you can help Zhu Qiyu save the throne, extraordinary means are acceptable. Yu Qian is not only innocent, but also has great achievements.
If there is someone who can mobilize the group camp this night, it can only be Yu Qian.
Shi Heng and Zhang Yi can piece together more than 1,000 people. With Yu Qian's status and prestige, just by raising his arms, it would be like destroying the Sect Group-"Hour 5 (Yu Qian) is in control of heavy troops, destroying Xu Shiru Destroy and destroy the dead.”
Xu Youzhen and the others made such a big noise in the capital. Yu Qian has always been paying attention to the public security in the capital ( Yu Shaobao is the most concerned about military affairs), of course he could not have known it. Yu Qian's son Yu Mian had long heard of the news that Shi Heng and others were promoting the restoration, and he immediately went home to report to his father.
Yu Qian scolded sternly: "National affairs, what do you know? Go out! Just take care of yourself!"
Without Yu Qian's order, the generals of the regiment camp did not dare to act rashly. This is the reason why Duomen Group can be unobstructed.
Reports are still being sent, Xu Youzhen brought people into the Nangong, they surrounded the Supreme Emperor and came out, and the bells and drums were ringed...
Yu Qian did not move at all (the public knows it, and he is still alive), his expression remains unchanged, Slowly organize the court uniforms and enter the temple according to the daily work procedures.
On the same day, Yu Qian and Wang Wen were thrown into prison. What awaited them was Zhu Qizhen's terrible verdict.
Many people don’t understand. Yu Qian clearly has the ability to stop him, so why did he surrender?
is still the same saying, " The country is the most important, and the king is the least important."
Nothing new under the sun. The so-called emperor's mind is nothing more than insight into human nature.
Yu Qian didn't know the tricks of the officialdom. From his original sentence "The destiny of heaven has been settled, it would be better to have it." Yu Qian's insight into human nature is profound.
When Zhu Qiyu heard the sound of bells and drums, the sentence he asked turned out to be: Is it Yu Qian?
This shows that if you want to carry out a coup, the only one with strength is Yu Qian! How could it be the brother who has been under house arrest for seven years?
Yu Qian Governor General of Military Affairs and was in charge of the 10th Regiment of the Capital. He must have power and military power. If The Ming Dynasty really had the power and opportunity to manipulate the emperor to dethrone the ministers, then there was only one person, Yu Qian.
However, Yu Qian’s idol is Wen Tianxiang .
Wen Tianxiang is a powerful minister and manipulates the emperor to decree it?
Then is he still Wen Tianxiang? Everyone will only poke his backbone and say: Look, that person is the Cao Cao of the Ming Dynasty.
Yu Qian wants to stop Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and others from doing so, but the hardest thing is how to deal with the aftermath.
prevented the restoration of the Supreme Emperor, Zhu Qizhen's actions must be characterized as a rebellion, and the legitimacy of this person as an emperor was denied.
This may have two consequences.
A, still established the King of Yi.
B, welcome foreign vassals, such as the prince of Xiang.
Assuming that Yu Qian chose A and still established King Yi, Zhu Jianshen became the emperor.
So, how should we deal with Zhu Qizhen who is plotting against him?
100% conspiracy is a death penalty, but will Empress Dowager Sun and King Yi agree to execute Zhu Qizhen?
will continue to pursue the investigation. Before the Dumen Group operation, she contacted Queen Mother Sun. She is also a rebellious accomplice, so how should she deal with the Queen Mother?
So what if Zhu Qizhen was abolished and banned as a commoner?
is temporarily feasible, but when King Yi becomes an adult, he will definitely release his father and rehabilitate him, and Yu Qian will also become a sinner.
chooses and chooses, if you don’t become a powerful minister, Yu Qian has the only option to welcome the foreign vassals.
But in the case of King Yi, where did the legitimacy of embracing foreign vassals come from? Yu Qian did that, instead of becoming a powerful minister who manipulated the emperor to abolish it.
In short, if Yu Qian took action that day, then he would no longer be Yu Qian, but became a person like Wang Mang , Cao Cao, and Sima Zhao .
goes around, this question has no solution. No matter how you choose, everyone will fight in the capital, the inheritance rules of the throne of the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed, and the political situation will be severely turbulent.
Unless someone is willing to sacrifice, it will bring about a relatively smooth transition of power.
The country is the most important, and the king is the least important.
Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qiyu, whoever is the emperor can be the two of these brothers. As for Yu Qian, it’s better to think that he is nothing.
As long as the Ming Dynasty can continue to prosper steadily, what can I do with Yu Qian? If the cost of stability in the country is like this, let me bear it!
[Support the bright light with both hands; save the country and strengthen the mountains and rivers with one mind]
It is easy to arrest Yu Qian, but Zhu Qizhen is also confused about how to deal with him.
says this person is guilty, and I really can't find any evidence. Everyone saw Yu Qian's credit. If he hadn't been in charge of the overall situation and repelled Yesen, how could he have returned to Beijing?
said he was not guilty. Zhu Qizhen felt very uncomfortable when he thought that Yu Qian firmly supported Zhu Qiyu at that time and did not take him as the Supreme Emperor seriously. What crime is better for
? Xu Youzhen came over and said sinisterly: If you don’t kill Yu Qian, what you do today is unknown! The sentence
became Yu Qian's death talisman.
The operation to seize the door has neither oral nor edict nor edict, and it is a conspiracy launched by ambitious people. Luckily, they succeeded.
This is not enough. The coup group also needs the legitimacy of procedural justice to package itself and beautify the door into a just thing.
The logic is that because Yu Qian and others privately planned to establish foreign vassals, the orthodox nature of the throne inheritance was threatened, so the actions of Xu Youzhen and his gang were to uphold justice and be legal and compliant.
Whoever plots to rebel will die? If Yu Qian and Wang Wen are not executed, the matter will be unknown!
Xu Youzhen personally interrogated Yu Qian and Wang Wen and asked them to plead guilty. Wang Wen was so angry that he opened his eyes wide open and cursed. Yu Qian had already understood that what Xu Youzhen wanted was not the truth. He smiled and said, "No matter whether this is happening or not, as long as we die."
In the end, they did not admit the charges. Xu Youzhen had to write on the case file, "Although there is no trace of it." , meaning there is something”—although there is no conclusive evidence, they do have this meaning! The crime of
can also be replaced by another famous saying, with the same meaning: false!
Did Zhu Qizhen know that Yu Qian was wronged?
Of course, I know, but what does it matter! I have been a succulent ticket for more than a year, and Yu Qian doesn't miss him at all, meaning that you can tear the tickets first. He is also an important promoter of Zhu Qiyu's proclaimed emperor and an important official in the country. How can Zhu Qizhen not hate him?
Then decide like this!
On the 23rd of the first lunar month, a day when the sky is covered with hazy days and sigh on the road. Yu Qian was taken outside Chongwen Gate, and just in front of this city he had fought to defend, he got his final outcome - the killing.
When can the north wind blow? Blow the cypress branches in front of my courtyard. The tree is firm and not afraid of the wind blowing, the integrity is still self-controlled, and the frost is gone through. - Yu Qian took a last look at the world, and he never regretted his choice.
At the command of the prison officer, the executioner raised his sword and fell. This 59-year-old big head rushed into the sky with a burst of blood.
Everyone in the country knows that he was wronged, historical records: The world is wronged!
[What is a hero]
At the age of ignorance, I have read many martial arts novels, imagine that I am a hero in the novel, walking the world with my sword, seeing the injustice on the road, drawing my sword to help, and by the way, I can also win the return of a beautiful woman. Isn’t it a pleasure. After reading some history, I realized that heroes are not that easy to be.
Heroes are those who dare to take a step in the face of life and death, and those who dare to take a step in times of danger.
Their life path has never been smooth. Real heroes often break through the rules and tend to be extreme.
Only with this characteristic can they achieve a career.
Many times, they cannot follow the rules and must have the courage and determination to seize the fleeting opportunities.
expels Yuanchao , and completes the unification of Zhu Yuanzhang , can he be considered a hero?
of course, they are all heroes that are rare.
But human nature is complex, and an absolutely perfect hero does not seem to exist. Zhu Yuanzhang has the limitations of the small peasant thoughts, and Zhu Di has the cruelty of persecuting the remains of Jianwen. Their evaluations are differentiated.
So, is there a perfect hero?
cannot be said to be absolutely none, Yu Qian is just one.
In his 59 years of life, he left almost no negative record.
When inspecting the local area, he was a well-known official and good official. I heard that he was going to be transferred to Beijing, and local officials spontaneously petitioned him to stay;
When Wang Zhen was in power, he was one of the few officials who were not afraid of power and refused to rely on him;
He held extremely high power, but never made any profit for himself and his family. When he was alive, his only son Yu Mian never became an official; afterwards, his house was confiscated, and the officials thought he could find a room full of gold, silver and treasures. I searched for a long time but found nothing.
Everyone didn't believe it and found that the door of a main room was locked. After it was opened excitedly, it only stored the python robe and sword rewarded by the emperor (if you look at it, you will be given python robes and sword weapons). Others took these imperial gifts to show off their appearances openly, but Yu Qian locked them in the house and never showed them to others.
Apart from this, there is no spare wealth in the family.
He never took a concubine in his life, and after losing his wife at the age of 50, he never reunited. He wrote eleven poems of mourning for his deceased wife, and every word tells his longing for his wife -
My parents were heartbroken when they heard it, and they were all the same thing as a hundred years old. He was old and could not bear the separation of life and death, and the guest side was tearful every day;
He was in the court and on the battlefield, bringing the fate of the Ming Dynasty back on track again and again;
He could easily destroy the group of slashing the gate, but chose to sacrifice himself and exchange Come to the stability of the country.
As the saying goes: Hold the bright light with both hands, and save the country and strengthen the mountains and rivers with one mind.
What is a hero?
If you say you have overcome the fear in your heart and overcome the difficulties of reality, then you are also a hero. It is the hero in the minds of yourself, your family, and your friends.
A person, a person who is willing to sacrifice himself and take the people of the world as his responsibility; a person who has a perseverance and sticks to his ideals and beliefs.
Then he is the hero of the entire country and the entire nation, and the hero of millions of people.
Many people will be defeated by the dark side of reality after achieving certain achievements. The word "Prince" and the word "Li" are enough to smash the persistence in the hearts of countless people and smooth out the pride they once were proud of.
In their hearts, there is no such thing as a hero dream, but how many people have lived the way they least want to see?
Choose to face the darkness, which comes at a great price. This price is not only to pieces, but also to be misunderstood and abandoned forever.
Because heroes are often very lonely.
After Yu Qian was wrongly killed, his family was also implicated. Yu Mian was sent to Longmen, Shanxi, and Yu Mian's wife Shao was sent to Shanhaiguan. It was not until Ming Xianzong in the early years of Chenghua that he was pardoned and released.
But so what? I am also in my heart, even if I die nine times, I will never regret it!
Yu Qian was killed, "the world is wronged" - this "world" does not include his former colleagues!
All the civil and military officials of the court knew about Yu Qian's injustice, but no one stood up to oppose it. There are even many people who used this matter to seek fame and fortune - those who wanted to win favor for the moment took humility as their justification.
In addition to the sacred intention that cannot be violated, this also shows that everyone does not want Yu Qian to survive, otherwise someone will definitely jump out and shout: You can't kill!
A clean official, a clean official with great power, if he refuses to form a clique, he will often bring many enemies to himself, just like the Liu Ji at that time. Even a strong man like Yang Shiqi must speak for Yang Rong who likes to gain benefits to protect himself.
What Xu Youzhen thinks is what everyone thinks, this person is not greedy for money, nor is he lustful, nor is he arrogant, and does not like to form cliques. But this person turned out to be the number one important official of the empire!
How can people who are engaged in politics be so perfect? It would be fine if you don’t play with power and tricks or bad things, but you still refuse to choose a sideline. What does this mean?
Officialdom is a dirty cesspool. You Yu Qian wants to be spotless, what does it mean?
According to the secular success theory, "the world is clear and knowledgeable, and the human nature is the article." Yu Qian doesn't understand human nature, is not sophisticated, and can't stand sidelines. This is an alien. It will be of no benefit to everyone if such a person continues to live.
No one defended Yu Qian. This person's contributions were too great and perfect, making people jealous - "To determine the country's merits, it is jealous of the whole court."
In the eyes of officials, Yu Qian is a person with weak personality, a pedantic and ignorant official, and he will die.
Is Yu Qian really wrong?
Those who say that Yu Qian doesn't know how to take the team are ridiculous. If he wanted to take the team, he would have been able to take Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang and others as minions and happily integrate into the whirlpool of power struggle. With the left hand, the right hand, the chicken soup, turn yourself into a smooth politician.
Ironically, Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, who were in the right position, were all ruined in the end and were frozen in history with the appearance of a treacherous minister. Yu Qian, who was wrong in taking the team, was treated well in history and admired for all generations.
Most heroes are lonely, and Yu Qian is also a lonely hero, because his belief is pure and detached, and he cannot be seen in the big dye vat that is tolerant of human feelings and worldly styles.
Fortunately, time finally gave Yu Qian the justice he deserved.
After Yu Qian was killed, the governor and magistrate Chen Kui was moved by his loyalty and righteousness, restrained his remains and buried in the west of Beijing. A few years later, his son-in-law Zhu Ji carried Yu Qian's coffin back to Hangzhou and buried him on the south bank of West Lake.
During the Chenghua period, Yu Mian submitted a memorial to appeal, and Yu Qian finally got sad. Zhu Jianshen personally issued an edict: "When the country is difficult, the country is safe. Only the justice is the only one who holds justice and is jealous of power and treacherous. In the late emperor, he knew it was wrong, but I really sympathized with his loyalty." and Special officials went south to Hangzhou to pay tribute to Yu Qian on his behalf.
Ming Xiaozong in the second year of Hongzhi (1489), he posthumously awarded Yu Qian as a special member of Guanglu Dafu, Zhuguo , and Taifu, with the posthumous title of Su Min, and was given a ancestral hall next to the tomb, titled "Jinggong", Relevant departments pay New Year's Day.
In the 18th year of Wanli (1590), he changed his posthumous title to Zhongsu. All provinces and places have worshipped and worshipped for generations throughout the years, and sacrifices have not stopped.
After 133 years, Yu Qian was finally completely rehabilitated, from no posthumous transformation into "Su Min" and then to "Zhong Su". Yu Qian's historical achievements were concluded.
He conforms to all the qualities of a hero.
heroes are those who speak bravely for the benefit of others;
heroes are those who stand up in times of crisis;
heroes are those who do not care about individuals and are willing to give;
heroes are those who are not afraid of life and death, and go against the trend OK.
—Reversely shrinks, even if there are tens of millions of people, I will go.
The most important thing is that Yu Qian can stand the test of time. He values fame and fortune, and neglects fame and fortune; he values benevolence and neglects killing; he values the country and neglects the king - everyone admires such a person, and in any era, he is a real hero!
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, the famous anti-Qing general of the Southern Ming Dynasty Zhang Huangyan was betrayed by a traitor and arrested. When passing Hangzhou, Zhang Cangshui wrote a desperate poem: "What do you want to destroy the country? There is my teacher at the head of Xizi Lake. The sun and the moon are hanging in the tomb of the clan, and the Yue Family Hall is in half of the wall.
Zhang Huangyan was also buried after he was executed. West Lake, later generations called Yue Fei , Yu Qian and Zhang Cangshui, and called the "Three Loyals in West Lake".
Yu Qian's ancestral hall by West Lake has been destroyed by natural disasters and wars for more than 500 years. Later generations have been persistently rebuilt again and again, with scale and fame. Instead, it is getting bigger and bigger.
Thousands of hammers are chiseled out of the deep mountains, and the fire is burned as if it is easy.
Not afraid of being broken, but you must keep your innocence in the world.
This poem "Lime Song" written by Yu Qian when he was twelve years old, finally It became his self-portrait.
" Ming Shi " praises: Yu Qian is also worried about the country and forgets his family, and has a sense of safety and ambitions. He has made great achievements. However, Qian is loyal and righteous, and has fought for glory with the sun and the moon, and has died I was given a favor to the official and I was given a favor. The public opinion was decided after a long time, and I believed in my husband.
