What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
In history, Yu Qian was a god man, and he had the merit of continuing his life for the Ming Dynasty, to a certain extent, he was also the savior of Ming Yingzong, but in the end he was framed by Ming Yingzong and had a rebellious heart and cut off his head, at first glance Yu Qian's death only felt that he was more wronged than Zhao Si's father, but under careful consideration, Yu Qian's death was probably inevitable.
From the time When Emperor Ming Yingzong embarked on the journey to destroy The Wallachians with an army of 200,000, the Ming Dynasty was destined to fall into a whirlpool, but what everyone did not expect was that this disaster came so quickly and so fiercely that it directly pushed the Ming Dynasty to the brink of extinction. The entire army of 200,000 was destroyed, it was almost all the elite of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor Zhu Qizhen also became a prisoner of the ranks of The Wallachians, and the Ming Dynasty suddenly remembered the Jing kang changes at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to save their lives, the courtiers began to propose to move south, and even more directly changed their property and ran away.
It was against this background that Yu Qian and his people raised their arms in the court and suggested that those who moved south should be killed without mercy, and that Daming should unite to resist the enemy, on the one hand, gathering the old, weak, sick and disabled in the capital to fight against the situation under the city of soldiers; on the other hand, urgently issuing orders from all over the country to enter the capital Qinwang.
In those days of waiting for reinforcements from all over the country, Yu Qian became the backbone of the people of the capital and even the Ming Dynasty, leading the people of the city to resist the provocations and intrusions of the Wallachians.
When Wa Lai tried to knock on the gate of the Ming Dynasty's capital with Zhu Qizhen and carry out endless cunning and plunder, Yu Qian and others, after gaining the support of Empress Sun, proclaimed Zhu Qiyu, the prince of Qiu, who had been appointed to oversee the state, as emperor, and Zhu Qizhen as emperor, and Zhu Jianshen, the son of Zhu Qizhen, as crown prince, to show that Zhu Qiyu was acting as emperor and that the throne would still be returned to Zhu Qizhen after a hundred years.
After Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian and others risked their lives to finally defend the Ming Dynasty, Wa La made a conspiracy move and released Zhu Qizhen back, in an attempt to make the Ming Dynasty infighting and achieve the purpose of dragging down the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Qizhen returned to the dynasty, there was a controversy in the court on how to deal with Zhu Qizhen and imperial power, and Zhu Qiyu definitely wanted to continue to sit on the throne, not only to sit himself, but also to pass the throne to his son; the old ministers loyal to Emperor Yingzong held the view that they should return the throne to Zhu Qizhen; like Yu Qian, they advocated that Zhu Qiyu continue to be emperor, but after a hundred years, Zhu Qizhen's son would inherit the throne.
This issue became more intensely debated after the early death of Zhu Qiyu's only son, Zhu Jianji, who was convinced that he could still give birth to a son and forcefully put Zhu Qizhen under house arrest. The dramatic scene is that in Zhu Qizhen, who had been imprisoned in the Nangong for seven years, when Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill, he did not use a single soldier, there was no bloodshed, and with the help of Shi Heng, Xu Bin, Xu Youzhen, and even the eunuch Cao Jixiang, he crashed open the gate of the Nangong Palace, and did not encounter any resistance to the restoration.
Zhu Qizhen, who was once again proclaimed emperor, launched a frenzied retaliation against Zhu Qiyu's party, deposed Zhu Qiyu's title as emperor, demoted him to the title of king of Qiyu, and put him under house arrest, and before long, Zhu Qiyu died inexplicably, and Zhu Qizhen was inextricably linked to this, and then Zhu Qizhen ordered him to be buried with the etiquette of a prince, and also gave him the evil title of "戾". It was not until the southern Ming dynasty that Zhu Qiyu had the temple title Daizong, but the title was always less than that of the normal emperor, and he could not be buried in the Ming Dynasty's imperial tomb, and an emperor who saved the Ming Dynasty never got the honor he deserved.
After killing Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Qizhen also killed the heroes Yu Qian and Fan Guang on the charge of rebellion, and almost persecuted the famous generals of Zhu Qiyu's era.
Yu Qian's death was ostensibly ming yingzong listening to the rumors of Xu Youzhen and others, but in fact, ming yingzong wanted to die in Qian's heart even more urgently, after all, he supported the king of Qi as emperor, robbed himself of the throne, and caused himself to be imprisoned for seven years.
Moreover, Yu Qian's prestige for saving the country has been established, in the eyes of Zhu Qizhen, Yu Qian is Zhu Qiyu's nemesis, which makes Ming Yingzong feel threatened, disposed of Zhu Qiyu, does not kill Yu Qian, it is difficult to guarantee that one day he will not have another incident, lying on the bed and allowing others to sleep soundly, so cutting the grass and removing the roots, will definitely kill all the jingtai emperor's party, in order to sit back and relax.
From a personal point of view, this kind of behavior of Ming Yingzong killing Yu Qian is a common sentiment of people, but as an emperor, Ming Yingzong's behavior is out of style, it is a loss of virtue, and it is also criticized for it.
At that time, Yu Qian elected Zhu Qiyu to the throne, really just wanted him to take over the shift and stabilize the situation, saying that he would make Zhu Qizhen's son the crown prince and would return the throne in the future. However, after Zhu Qiyu ascended to the throne at great risk, he was infatuated with the beauty of the throne, did not want to work as a substitute, and despite the opposition of everyone, insisted on abolishing the prince and established his own son as the prince. As a result, the only son, Zhu Jianji, was the crown prince for two years, and he always wanted to have another son, but he did not give birth until he died.
After Zhu Qizhen was released, Zhu Qiyu did not want to return the throne, and was forced by public opinion and court pressure to have the courage to depose the prince, and failed to kill the killer, but imprisoned him in the Southern Palace.
The throne of the crown prince was vacant, and the Emperor Taishang was locked up in the Southern Palace, which led to endless debates about the succession to the imperial throne above the Ming Dynasty, and the courtiers were pregnant with ghosts, and the undercurrent of taking concubines was constantly surging.
Yu Qian advocated that Zhu Qiyu continue to be emperor, and then pass the throne to Zhu Qizhen's son Zhu Jianshen, in Zhu Qizhen's eyes, Yu Qian was a person who supported his younger brother and was a murderer who harmed himself; and in Zhu Qiyu's eyes, Yu Qian insisted on returning the throne to Zhu Qizhen, and was already separated from himself, and whoever won in the end of the Zhu family seemed to be doomed to no good fruit to eat.
However, it seems that Yu Qian should have realized his situation long ago and guessed his own ending, but he also insisted on his original intention without complaint. From the time of the tumubao change, he disregarded his life, was not afraid of offending his colleagues, and stabilized the situation in the imperial capital; to the return of Emperor Yingzong, he supported the more capable Zhu Qiyu to govern, but he had to follow the organization training, and established Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince, and Yu Qian showed the most glorious image of a scholar and a scholar, and also the most lacking character of the Ming Dynasty scholar, loyal to the king and patriotic, Kuangfu Sheji, and strictly abide by the program, even if it was to be crushed to pieces.
Yu Qian is not afraid of death, those who are afraid of death will not take the old, weak, sick and disabled to fight against Vala, those who are afraid of death will not advocate the establishment of a new emperor, he is afraid that he will not be able to die what he wants, his wish will be fulfilled, Yu Qian is not afraid to die.
Yu Qian did what he wanted to do, what he should do, what he could do in his life, everything was left to posterity to comment, how dashing this life is, history is fair, Yu Qian's heroic name will be recorded in the annals of history together with the Ming Dynasty, and will be admired by future generations!
