Yu Qian is a well-known minister and military strategist in the early stage of the Ming Dynasty. He once followed Ming Xuanzong and Zhu Zhanji as the censor, and led his army to surround Lean . With a thunderclap, he quickly and decisively pacified the rebellion of King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, and crushed his dream of reappearing the battle of Jingnan .
Before this, Yu Qian once scolded him in front of the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, making him speechless and ashamed. Therefore, he was valued by Zhu Zhanji, and asked him to govern Henan, Shanxi and other places as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. He continued until Yingzong Emperor Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne.
In the first year of Zhengtong, Yu Qian was still serving as governor in Henan. At that time, he heard that Zhao Qi, the Minister of Justice, who retired in , Xuande , his hometown is in , Kaifeng , in Henan.
This Zhao Ying not only served as the Minister of Justice, but also as the Minister of Rites and the Minister of War. He once served as an envoy to Annan and had a certain reputation in the court. So Yu Qian thought about visiting someone.
Yu Qian visited him several times in a row, and each time he treated Zhao Yi as a respected senior, and was very respectful and impeccable. The two of them were talking about some etiquette or polite words.
However, it was not until once that Yu Qian came to visit Zhao Qian as usual. However, as soon as Zhao Qian met, he took Yu Qian's hand and bit him hard until he bit him bleeding before he let go.
Yu Qian was a little overwhelmed by the other party's sudden attack, but he quickly realized that this must be something this senior must have to give him advice, so he immediately cried and asked for advice. However, Zhao Yi never answered, and Yu Qian could only leave with a disappointed look on his face.
When Yu Qian left, Zhao Qian's grandson Zhao Heng also asked with a concealed look on his face: "Grandpa, why did you bite the adult's hand for no reason?"
In response, Zhao Qian's face was filled with disappointment and said slowly: "Yu Qian is a good official, but his personality is destined to be difficult to achieve a good end in this turbid officialdom!"
We don't know how Zhao Qian made this judgment by biting his hand, but from the perspective of God, he learned that Zhao Qian's judgment and prophecy were correct.
Yu Qian is indeed a good official, and he really cannot get a good end. After the change of Tumu Fort, he vigorously arranged the proposal of moving south, insisted on sticking and actively deploying defense, and successfully won the battle of Beijing Defense. He was praised by later generations as a national hero who recreated the Ming Dynasty. But unexpectedly, Yu Qian was so arrogant that he aroused the hatred of other officials. After Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was restored, he was framed and killed by the general Shi Heng.
