Thousands of hammers and hundreds of hammers refine the mountains, and the fire burns into ashes like flowing water. This poem comes from Yu Qian's "Lime Chant", which tells us a truth: if you want to accomplish things first, you must first suffer their hearts. And Yu Qian himself has really achieved excellence and finally stood out.
However, unfortunately, Yu Qian tried his best and failed to withstand the devastation of the power struggle in the end. In order to save the fate of the world, he only wanted to serve himself, but he died at the hands of a trustworthy emperor.
However, although this minister had passed away, he had left countless legends, and in the year he was unjustly executed, even the Jinyi guards who had raided the house could not help but burst into tears. Later, when the empress dowager learned of this, the water rice did not enter to show her mourning.
The fact that death can touch its enemies and touch the empress dowager, how upright and loyal such a figure should be, really makes people reflect. So, what the hell is going on with all this?
For the humble man.
According to historical records, Yu Qian was a character with both moral integrity and ability, and in short, he was a perfect official. There are two events recorded in the Ming history related to him, the first of which was his confrontation with Zhu Gaoxu.
In the history books, Zhu Gaoxu was a very powerful prince, and for a time, during the Yongle years, there were storms and storms, but this character always wanted to rebel, and as a result, in the face of a perverted emperor like Zhu Zhanji, he lost miserably. He was caught in this awkward background, but no one dared to interrogate him, because Zhu Gaoxu was too murderous and too high-status.
But at this time, Yu Qian stood up and counted him down fiercely, his words were very sharp, and everyone involved the world and the people's hearts.
Generally speaking, historians believe that Yu Qian's voice is particularly loud and his character is particularly decent, so this paragraph is remembered by many people, even the emperor remembers his upright ministers. The evaluation of this period of history is that Yu Qian is just and upright, his voice is loud, and his momentum is fierce.
Then, the second paragraph of the record of his character is that Yu Qian was exploited by Wang Zhenpan in that year.
According to historical records, Wang Zhen required every official to have filial piety to him, and this filial piety did not need much, but his loyalty to him was very high. As a result, when it was Yu Qian's turn, he really had no extra money, he could only take some mushrooms and incense to him, Wang Zhen was angry on the spot, and as a result, he caught Yu Qian and slaughtered him.
However, Yu Qian's popularity was so good that the people actually came to intercede for him, and even Wang Ye announced that if Yu Qian had something to do, he must take Wang Zhen's knife. So Wang Zhen actually forced Yu Qian to let go. According to history, Yu Qian was a kind man and a rare good official, and the local officials all agreed with him.
Tragedy or drama?
After talking about Yu Qian's character, we will talk about the most glorious moment of his life, that is, the defense of Beijing. But in Beijing's defense war, sometimes we really can't figure out whether it is a tragedy or a drama. This is a tragedy, and indeed a tragedy, because Yu Qian was so meritorious that he was later killed. This was the most serious moment in Yu Qian's life, and it was precisely because he had accomplished many miracles that ordinary people could not complete.
According to the Ming dynasty, after the defeat of the tubao at that time, Yu Qian was ordered to quickly take over the capital. At that time, Yu Qian ensured the victory of the Ming Dynasty through three things.
The first was to help the soldiers harvest the corpses, but the Mongols did not harvest the remaining divine equipment, and Yu Qian not only improved morale but also strengthened the musket power through the corpses of the soldiers on the ground and the equipment of the front-line troops who were harvested.
Another thing was to gather reinforcements and let them solve the food problem in the Tongzhou area on their own.
Another thing that is even more shocking, he let these veterans take the new recruits, with the cruelty and courage of the veterans, to guide the whole atmosphere, with hatred as the lead, and finally to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.
But in this great war, he made two major mistakes. One of them was that he refused to recognize the captured Ming Yingzong, and later, he directly bombarded Ye Xian's position with artillery fire in an attempt to kill Ming Yingzong. Although these were all decisions on the battlefield, he was already destined to break with Ming Yingzong and there was no way back. As a result, he won the war, but in the blink of an eye, there was another capture of the door, and Yu Qian was imprisoned by Ming Yingzong and then brutally killed.
Bones of loyalists iii.
Yu Qian died in this way, but during this sad time, two sad things happened. First of all, Jin Yiwei was ordered to inquire about Yu Qian's family property, and the sad result was that they themselves had exhausted all the methods they had used to deal with all the experience of corrupt officials, and they could not find a penny, even if they had to destroy Yu Qian's family property.
In the end, they found only a house that was about to be dusted and locked up, and they mistakenly thought that it must contain all of Yu Qian's treasures, so they could smear Yu Qian.
But no one expected that when he opened the room, he found that it was full of python robes and jade belts, and all the rewards given to him by the emperor. He was a rare good man, he never embezzled bribes, nor did he rush to accept the emperor's rewards, he just took all this as grace, and then locked up at home and lived a poor life.
At that time, all the Jinyi guards did not speak, and one of them cried bitterly on the spot, and ignored Cao Jixiang's three orders and five shens, and actually worshiped Yu Qian, which showed how much Yu Qian had a great influence on everyone at that time.
In addition, the empress dowager was also greatly hit. This year, the empress dowager saw with her own eyes what kind of posture Yu Qian took to come forward to save the country, and what kind of posture she used to save the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the empress dowager knew that Yu Qian had actually been so bitter that everyone threw dirty water on his face, and she was so angry that she could only express her dissatisfaction by not coming in with water rice.
Of course, Emperor Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen's mentality was not very good, because he realized that he had been deceived by Shi Heng, and this matter had become the biggest stain on his life, so the emperor was completely reluctant to mention Yu Qian in his later years. Since he felt a convulsion in his heart when he thought of this person, he hated this person so much that he admired this person so much that in the end he could only know his things well.
Fortunately, the son of Emperor Mingying's Zhu Qizhen finally turned over the case to Yu Qian, and the prime minister who saved the world of Daming finally came back again, and his story was widely spread in various versions, and he did not die, but lived in everyone's heart.
conclusion.
Therefore, after reading the whole story, we will have a clear understanding of a character like Qian, which is indeed a rare corner in history. These people are corrupt officials, as politicians, but they never covet power, and they only want to save the Ming Dynasty and save the people.
