Jiangshan also needs to be supported by great people, and the deification of Danqing is to draw a picture.
Lai Youyue yu shuang shaobao, the human world began to feel heavy West Lake.
This poem was composed by the Qing Dynasty scholar Yuan Ming after visiting the West Lake, and the "Yue Yu Shuang Shaobao" in the poem refers to Yue Fei and Yu Qian. The merits of these two people are comparable, and they are regarded as national heroes who "will tilt the building and turn the tide against the fall".
Portrait of Yu Qian
Yue Fei's death, known to the world, was unjustly killed by Qin Ju with the theory of "unwarranted" accusations. However, Yu Qian's death is somewhat unclear.
According to the "Biography of Ming Shi Yu Qian", Ming Yingzong (Zhu Qizhen) originally did not want to kill Yu Qian, but under the strong persuasion of Xu Youzhen, who participated in the change of the door, it was decided to behead Yu Qian and abandon the city and confiscate the family property and children shubian.
On the performance, Yingzong Shang hesitated: "Yu Qianshi has merit." Youzhen Jin said: "Do not kill Yu Qian, this move is nameless." "The emperor decided.
When the house was raided, the main hall was locked tightly, and when he opened it, he saw that there were python robes and sword tools given by the Ming Dynasty Emperor (Zhu Qiyu). In addition, Yu Qian's family was destitute, and there was nothing to copy at all. The Guards in jinyi who were present were all in tears.
In addition, Yu Qian is also a good husband. After his wife's death, he did not take another wife, let alone take a concubine. The ming dynasty's high-ranking scholars seem to have done this alone (Hai Ruidu had married three wives and two concubines before and after).
It is said that the empress dowager Sun Shi did not know that Yu Qian was executed at first, and after hearing about it, she mourned for several days. Ming Yingzong also regretted his decision afterwards.
The empress dowager did not know how to die at first, than to smell, mourning tired days. Yingzong also repented.
This is typical of His Holiness. If the killing of Yu Qian was really forced by the hero of the robbery, it could be given death, there was no need to behead and abandon the city, and there was no need to raid the house and sit with his family. In fact, let Zhu Qizhen choose again, he will still kill Yu Qian. Because from the perspective of Zhu Qizhen and even Empress Sun, Yu Qian had to die.
Explanation: Beheading and abandoning the city is not the same as beheading, and abandoning the city is a public display in the downtown before and after the execution, with obvious humiliation. And for people like Qian, who value honor and morality, they would rather die than be humiliated.
After Emperor Mingyingzong's defeat at Tumu Fort was defeated by Vala and captured by Yexian, Empress Sun decreed that Emperor Yingzong's eldest son Zhu Jianshen (Emperor Mingxianzong) be made crown prince and appoint Zhu Qiyu the Prince of Qi to act as the general administrator. However, Yu Qian and other civil officials insisted on establishing Zhu Qiyu as emperor on the grounds that crown prince Zhu Jianshen was too young to manage the government.
The demands and reasons of Yu Qian and others are completely unreasonable.
Although Yu Qian said that "the state has a long monarch and the blessing of the society", the civil service system of the Ming Dynasty was already mature at that time, and whether the emperor was young or not did not hinder the operation of the imperial court. Isn't Ming Yingzong's ascension to the throne at the age of eight an example in front of their eyes? And what did the subsequent victory in the defense of Beijing have to do with how old the emperor was in the palace at that time?
The current emperor is still alive, and the legitimate heir of the current emperor is also alive. Yu Qian and others, however, solemnly demanded the establishment of a new emperor, which was actually a rebellion.
Although there have been many Taishang Emperors since the Qin Dynasty, in simple terms, these Taishang Emperors can be divided into two categories, voluntary Zen concessions and forced Zen concessions. The history of being forced to zen is all characterized as usurpation, and even Li Shimin, the emperor of the ming dynasty, cannot escape the name of "usurpation". Did Zhu Qizhen take the initiative to take the zen position?
As for the fact that the emperor was captured, he could not continue to perform his duties as emperor, so he had to re-establish a new monarch. This is the operating rule of our modern government, and there was no such rule in ancient times. When the rebels rebelled on the grounds that the emperor had been hoodwinked or held hostage, they also shouted "Qing Jun's side, return the government to the Junshang" instead of "Qing Jun's side, establish a new Jun" instead of "Qing Jun's side, establish a new jun".
Taking a step back, even if it was necessary to enshrine Emperor Yingzong as the Emperor Taishang, with Zhu Jianshen present, it would not be Zhu Qiyu's turn to be emperor. If Zhu Jianshen was young, how could Yu Qian and others explain that these civil officials wanted to pass on the story of Zhou Gong's becoming king for a thousand years?
Therefore, even if Xu Youzhen really advised Emperor Yingzong to kill Yu Qian, he would not say "do not kill Yu Qian, this move is nameless", he is more likely to say "Ming canon punishment, justify the law of the country".
So why did Yu Qian and others have to support Zhu Qiyu?
The primary purpose was to cut off Empress Sun's path to government. Because Zhu Qiyu acted as the general administrator and the imperial throne was vacant, Empress Sun was able to interfere in government affairs in the name of the empress dowager and the crown prince, and Zhu Qiyu could not refuse either in etiquette or patriarchy. There is also a reason that cannot be ignored, if Zhu Qiyu is only acting as the acting general of the state, he must also curry favor with Empress Sun, who represents the future emperor, for his future consideration.
If Zhu Jianshen was proclaimed emperor, Empress Sun could participate in government affairs in a dignified manner. Just like after Emperor Yingzong ascended the throne, who did not know that the empress dowager of the harem, Empress Zhang, was the real emperor.

After supporting Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Qiyu had to cooperate with the civilian official clique in order to protect himself and consolidate his position. In this way, the civilian-official clique can not only rule out the possibility of harem interference in politics, but also maximize its own interests.
In the end, supporting Zhu Qiyu could cut off the possibility of Zhu Qizhen's return. This possibility was quite high at the time, and history has proved this (if it were not for Zhu Qiyu's tripwire, Zhu Qizhen would have returned to the dynasty long ago).
Although He xian captured Zhu Qizhen and gave him poor treatment, he still regarded Zhu Qizhen as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. More importantly, he did not destroy the Ming Dynasty's wishes, and he attacked Beijing more for the purpose of plundering.
Therefore, Yu Qian was very worried, and Zhu Qizhen agreed to some conditions of The First (such as tribute, Mutual Market, etc.), and also released him first. Zhu Qizhen's relationship with the civilian official clique was very tense because of his reliance on the power of the nobles and eunuchs, and the power of the civilian clique was also greatly restricted, and the civilian officials naturally did not want him to come back as emperor.
Zhu Qiyu himself initially resisted the establishment of him as emperor, so he and Yu Qian argued in person: "With the crown prince here, how dare Qing and others violate the law?" The "law" that Zhu Qiyu said was the "primogeniture system" that Taizu had approved in the "Ancestral Training of the Emperor Ming".
Yu Qian's reply was: "Ministers and others are sincerely worried about the country, not for private reasons, And His Highness Hongji is difficult to an ancestral society to comfort people's hearts." ”
Eventually, under the pressure of Qian and other civil officials, Empress Sun was forced to agree to Zhu Qiyu's ascension to the throne and honor Zhu Qizhen as emperor taishang. Can you say that Empress Sun and Zhu Qizhen can not hate Yu Qian?
Shortly thereafter, Zhu Qiyu was completely captured by the imperial power and began to leave the throne in his own line. For this reason, he also did something very unreasonable. He deposed Zhu Qizhen's son (Zhu Jianshen) as crown prince and replaced him with his own son as crown prince.
Why is it unreasonable to say that Zhu Qiyu's move is unreasonable? See what his edict on the throne says:
Our Lady of the Crown Princess has comforted the hopes of her subjects, and has established the eldest son of the Emperor shu to see the crown prince, and has ordered her to assist in the acting general affairs of the country...
The ceremony of the Jongmyo Temple cannot be long- and the elderly and wise King of the Ancestral Temple, who orders the successors to be sacrificed...
First of all, he explicitly acknowledged that Zhu Jianshen had been made crown prince by the empress. More importantly, he ascended the throne as a "successor" rather than a "successor heir", that is to say, the emperor's heir line was still The Zhu Qizhen line (unless the Zhu Qizhen line was extinct). Simply put, Zhu Qiyu is the "dai" emperor, and he will have to re-pass the emperor's throne to Zhu Qizhen in the future.
If Yu Qian was bent on serving the imperial court and the country, he should explicitly oppose this matter. Because what Zhu Qiyu did was completely unreasonable (the court officials did not explicitly support it), Zhu Qiyu's forcible actions would inevitably lead to a split in the imperial court (and it did later).
It is not that Yu Qian will definitely be able to stop Zhu Qiyu by standing up, but this is the attitude he must show. The fact is that Yu Qian did not explicitly express his opinion (or acquiesce) during the whole process, because he was a bellwether of the imperial court, and his attitude actually affected the attitude of many ministers in the DPRK.
Moreover, in some historical records, Yu Qian supported Zhu Qiyu's abolition of the crown prince, such as "Sin Weilu Empress Sun":
Shangsheng made the eunuch Yu Qian say auspiciously: "That is, Emperor Yan driving, how can he restore Tai Shang?" Humble: "If the lost country offends the ancestors, I am afraid that it will not be enough to show the future generations of the world." "But what about the prince?" Humble also said, "The son of a sinner is no longer in existence." The Divine Wrath said, "Will you do it for yourself at home?" ”
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu was able to successfully depose the crown prince in the end, more or less benefiting from Yu Qian's attitude. It should be that after this incident, Zhu Qizhen and Empress Sun had the intention of killing.
When we look at Yu Qian's death, we cannot fully apply some of the current concepts and concepts, so as to think that Yu Qian is innocent and has contributed to the country, but was eventually wrongfully killed. Because the "state" in this view is more of a state in our current concept.
In the eyes of Emperor Zhu Qizhen, he was the most important part of the Ming Dynasty, so although Yu Qian had merit, his crime was even greater, which was why he had to kill him.
Illustration of the Change of The Door
Finally, let's talk about why Yu Qian did not act in the change of the door.
The change in the door was not a hasty coup d'état, Zhu Qiyu had been childless after the death of his own son, but he had neither succeeded nor restored Zhu Jianshen, which in itself made many ministers in the DPRK and China confused and worried about the future.
The ministers' concerns are not superfluous at all. Because Zhu Qiyu obviously did not want to return the throne to Zhu Qizhen's family, it would not be unusual for someone to take his "will" to support the king of the clan instead of Zhu Jianshen, who was the most qualified to ascend the throne.
If we don't get it right, we will stage a big drama of "Jing Difficulty" again. Not to mention keeping the existing power, you may not even be able to save your life. Therefore, it was natural for the officials who supported the return of the throne to Zhu Qizhen to gather together to prepare in advance.
Before the change of the gate, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang, and others had already contacted Empress Sun in the palace, and their plan to support the restoration of Zhu Qizhen also received explicit support from Empress Sun. This is also the main reason why they can quickly break through the palace prohibition and control the harem.
Under such circumstances, how did Yu Qian "put down the rebellion", and did he even put an end to Empress Sun? Even if Yu Qian had this boldness, would the other ministers of the imperial court support it? And what to do after the counter-insurgency is successful, and to whom does the throne go? To Zhu Mishen, waiting for him to ascend the throne to avenge his father? Give power to other clan kings or take power yourself, and make yourself a rogue thief in the eyes of the courtiers?
In the end, even if Yu Qian had the courage and determination to wipe out the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager together, he did not have the ability to do so.
Because the entire process of the coup d'état was extremely successful, there was no decent resistance. Although the guards obstructed when entering the palace, as soon as Zhu Qizhen revealed his identity, they gave up resistance (which also shows that Zhu Qizhen itself was quite supportive). Even if Yu Qian first got the news, he did not have time to organize a counterinsurgency.
And he didn't have soldiers to put down the rebellion. Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang, and Shi Heng prepared in advance so that they could mobilize their henchmen to form a team. Where did Yu Qian go to dispatch the army for a while?
The actual mobilization of the army is not to write a novel, it can attract 100,000 troops in one sentence. Although Yu Qian was a soldier Shangshu, the Beijing Division also had regiments and battalions and forbidden armies that he personally formed. However, Yu Qian did not have the emperor's edict and did not have a soldier's charm, so why did he transfer troops into the Beijing Division (the regimental camp was not stationed in the capital)? This rule was set by himself.
Yu Qian's only way was to rely on his personal prestige to gather the regimental camp station, and no matter what specific attitude each battalion supervised, it was equally impossible in time. Because even if the governors were persuaded by Yu Qian, because they did not prepare in advance, it would take a lot of time to gather the team.
It is estimated that their generals have not yet gathered together, the new emperor Zhu Qizhen has closed the nine gates, and the latest edict has also been transmitted. How many of these generals would be willing to risk the lives of their entire families and follow Yu Qian to attack the Jingshi and the Imperial City?
Therefore, Yu Qian finally tied his hands and asked, whether voluntarily or by force, it was an inevitable result.
Finally, to digress, there is a loophole in the Ming Dynasty's Beijing camp and forbidden army transfer system. Once the rebellion suddenly occurred in the capital, the emperor, although he had a large army, was likely to be unusable. Because after the rebels surrounded the imperial palace, the edicts and soldiers' charms could not be sent out, how to transfer the army to suppress the rebellion?
Somewhat similar to the First Emperor being chased by Jing Ke in the main hall, because he was in a hurry and could not give orders, the guards could only gather around the door to watch the play. If Jing Ke Kung Fu was better, the First Emperor would be killed by the watchful eyes of thousands of his loyal guards.
After Emperor Mingyingzong's restoration, Cao Jixiang led an army to rebel, and Emperor Yingzong received news in advance and almost planted it. If it were not for Sun Bo's advance receipt of the soldiers due to the Western Expedition and the trickery of the soldiers into the capital to quell the rebellion, Emperor Yingzong would most likely have become a prisoner for the second time.
Description: Although Sun Bo had a soldier's charm, his leading edict was that he would not go to the Beijing Division on the Western Expedition, so he was afraid that his generals would not obey his orders and refused to enter Beijing. He lied that the prisoners held by the Ministry of Punishment had escaped from prison, and those who were caught were rewarded heavily. Two thousand soldiers were then gathered and the rebellion was successfully countered.
