When it comes to Yu Qian's tomb, everyone will definitely wonder, that person is living well, how can there be a grave? In fact, this Yu Qian we are talking about is a loyal vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and the later generation of Yu Uncle Who is slippery is not a person, let alone a kind of person.
Yu Qian is a national hero and a national pillar who stands tall and upright. He once wrote a poem called "Yong Lime", which vividly expressed his value orientation: "A thousand hammers chiseled out of the deep mountains, and the fire burns like idleness; the bones are not afraid, and they must remain innocent in the human world." ''
Throughout his life, he was awe-inspiring in righteousness, bright and upright, serving the country and the people, bowing to the best of his ability, never considering personal gains and losses, and putting honor and disgrace and life and death aside.
During the tumu fort, Emperor Yingzong was captured, and the elite of the Ming Dynasty were lost in battle. The people of the Great Ming were terrified, the ministers were terrified, and the Empress was overwhelmed. The surrender faction of the attendant Xu Huan (i.e., Xu Youzhen) and others were frightened by The Wallachians and proposed to move the capital to Nanjing to avoid the attack.
The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero, and at the critical moment, Yu Qian stepped forward and turned the tide. With the full support of a large number of officials and officials of the main war faction, such as the official Shangshu Wang Zhi and the cabinet scholar Chen Xun, the regent Zhu Qiyu strengthened his determination to resist to the end.
With the efforts of Yu Qian and the ministers, the Ming Dynasty finally repelled many of the invasions of the Wallachians, won the defense of Beijing, and struck a blow at their arrogance. Forcing them to make peace, emperor Yingzong was released from captivity.
Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty trusted Yu Qian very much when he was in power, but Yu Qian never flattered, and Emperor Daizong built a lot of civil engineering, and he dared to stand up and speak out. Daizong's life had a little hint of luxury, and Yu Qian did not deny it, impressing him with the suffering of the people.
Yu Qian held military power, but yu Qian never guarded the shortcomings of his subordinates, and once discovered, he pointed it out without mercy, and those who violated the law were severely punished according to law and did not show mercy.
Because the upright Yu Qian did not care much about the unspoken rules of the official field, he was besieged and suppressed by a group of ministers.
Du Yushi Luotong said that Yu Qian exaggerated his battle achievements and blinded Shengcong, and Yushi Gu Yao said that Yu Qian's paternalistic style was arbitrary; everyone straightened out his materials and regarded him as a thorn in his eye.
Fortunately, Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty saw the pearls, remained sober, eliminated interference, and continued to entrust Qian with heavy responsibilities, so that he could display his talents and realize his ambitions.
However, after Emperor Yingzong was released, a group of jealous and humble ministers of culture and military affairs supported The restoration of Emperor Yingzong for personal gain, and launched a rebellion in the first month of 1457, and the terminally ill emperor, Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu, was ousted from power. The fire at the city gates hit The Pond Fish, and Yu Qian, who was regarded by the general Shi Heng and the civilian official Xu Youzhen as a thorn in the flesh, unfortunately became a victim of the power struggle. Under the temptation of everyone, Yingzong made up his mind to get rid of Yu Qian.
On the twenty-third day of the first month of that year, Yu Qian was ordered by the imperial court to be executed for treason, and calmly took up his righteousness outside the Chongwen Gate where he had sworn to defend himself, at the age of 59.
After Yu Qian was executed, his "reactionary deeds" were publicized everywhere, and the government at all levels mobilized the people's anger and condemnation.
Yu Qian's "conspiracy to rebel" was executed, and the people of the whole country did not know the truth, but the generals of the three armies knew this very well, and knew that Yu Qian was a loyal subject and had been wronged.
A commander named Duo'er, upon learning of Yu Qian's death, went to the execution ground and sacrificed his loyal souls with wine and meat; although he was later scolded and whipped by his superiors, he continued to pay tribute the next day.
Du commanded Chen Kui to love Qian's loyalty and risk collecting his corpse.
Because Yu Qian was born in Hangzhou, a year after Yu Qian was killed, a year later, his adopted son Yu Kang buried Yu Qian in the foothills of the Santai Mountains south of Hangzhou's West Lake.
After Yu Qian's death, Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang, and others who framed Yu Qian in the past were executed for their rebellion, corruption, and dereliction of duty. When he was worried about internal and external troubles, Yingzong remembered Yu Qian's goodness, but it was too late.
In the early years of Emperor Mingxian's chenghua, in order to win over the hearts of the people and unite all the forces that could be united to carry out construction, the imperial court began to redress unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, Yu Qian was reinstated to his official post, the grievances were revealed, and his son Yu Mian was also pardoned.
In the special years more than fifty years ago, due to well-known reasons, Yu Qian's tomb and the tomb of Yue Fei and Wu Song not far away were destroyed by young people.
Until 1982, some people proposed to rebuild Yu Qian's tomb, which was highly valued by the relevant departments. Under the cordial care of the party and the government, Yu Qian's tomb was rebuilt. After the construction of the Yu Qian tomb is about 2 meters high, surrounded by green bricks, the tombstone is also re-inscribed, the words "Daming Shaobao and Bingbu Shangshu Gift taifu Yu Zhongsu in the cemetery" are written, and there are special altar tables and incense burners in front of the tomb for people to pay tribute.
At the end of the 20th century, 1998, the 600th anniversary of Yu Qian's birth, in order to commemorate this national hero, the relevant departments added an imitation Ming-style stone Weng Zhong, a pair of stone beasts and a archway on both sides of the tomb, which greatly sorted out the environment of the cemetery, and the Yu Qian Ancestral Hall was also renovated and established a scenic spot named after Yu Qian.
Yu Qian's tomb and Yu Qian Ancestral Hall have now become an important cultural landscape in the West Lake, and are provincial cultural relics protection units in Zhejiang Province.
The loyal martyrs are immortal, and the villains who framed him and the traitors stink for thousands of years. Yu Qian knew, and it was time to smile at the Nine Springs.
