Since ancient times, many literati and inkers have left their own poems in the West Lake, some of which are only vassals and elegant, and some of which have become famous sentences throughout the ages.
Su Shi's "Want to put the West Lake than the West Lake, light makeup is always appropriate." "Write about the pleasant scenery of the West Lake; the Southern Song Dynasty poet Lin Sheng's "Warm wind smokes tourists drunk, straight to Hangzhou as a state of Bizhou." "It is even more ironic that the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs indulged in pleasure and forgot the hatred of the country and the family.
More people know about West Lake because of Xu Xian in the famous TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady", Bai Suzhen has gone through many tribulations. The love story of the broken bridge meeting.
And today, I want to talk about another Daming courtier who is related to the West Lake, speaking of my personality, I like to read historical stories since I was a child, resulting in when I go to travel, I prefer some cultural landscapes, especially museums, and ancestral halls, and former residences, I am very contemptuous of natural scenery, in fact, in my opinion, the West Lake and the pool of Taiyuan Yingze Park are not much different, are a pool of water, more attractive to me want to visit the West Lake, because the West Lake buried three people, I admire people very much, They are the Great Song Heroes Yue Fei, Daming Yuqian, and Zhang Huangyan of The Southern Ming, known as the "Three Masters of the West Lake", and the Daming courtiers mentioned today are Yu Qian and Yu Shaobao.
Now because of the fame of the Deyun Society, Yu Qian, as Guo Degang's partner, said a sentence of "smoking and drinking and scalding his head", so that he was known to women and children, chickens and dogs, but the Yu Qian I mention here is the Great Ming loyal minister Yu Qian, Yu Qian was born in Hangzhou in 1393, his grandfather was once a local official, he received a good Confucian education from an early age, and he greatly admired the loyalty and integrity of Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang and others, and later Yu Qian wrote for Yue Fei: "Zhongxing generals who surrender to the enemy, negative the country and the traitorous subjects to negotiate peace." How to leave Zhu Xian Town, do not see the general playing a triumphant song", of course, Yu Qian's more famous poem is the "Lime Yin": "A thousand hammers chisel out of the mountains, and the fire burns as if idle." Bones shattered and not afraid, to stay innocent in the world", when writing this poem, Yu Qian was only twenty years old, from this poem "the whole world is turbid and I am alone" can be seen that the ambition in the young Yu Qian's heart, and his own persistence, this kind of person is often lonely, which also laid the groundwork for his last life tragedy, and then Yu Qian's experience is similar to that year's readers, in 1421, Yu Qian entered the military in the examination, officially entered the career path, that year, he was 28 years old.
Because the rank is relatively low, Yu Qian did not have too much fame at that time, nor did he enter the Hanlin Academy or be a Beijing official, but was sent abroad to be a local official, but this also allowed Yu Qian to understand more about the suffering of the people, Yu Qian in Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Jiangxi have all been local officials, he is clean and honest, the people are suffering, the people are anxious to save the people, he is in power to build water conservancy, promote production, not a powerful person, rehabilitate the old unjust and false wrong cases, he has a clean wind in his sleeves, not only never accepts bribes, but also disdains to welcome him, so although he has outstanding political achievements, But he was never allowed to be promoted, but it was gold that always shone, and in 1448, Yu Qian was transferred to the post of soldier's attendant, and a greater test was coming, when he was 55 years old.
In 1649, the northern Wallachian soldiers came to attack, here is a simple mention of the Wala ethnic group, we all know that the Establishment of the Ming Dynasty was the Yuan Dynasty that overthrew the Mongol rule, starting from the first emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Chengzu, Renzong, Xuanzong have been using troops against the Mongols, and finally completely repelled the Mongols and drove them back to their hometowns. Mongolia later split into two tribes, the Wallachians and the Tatars, but the Wallachians never gave up their covetousness for the Central Plains, and the Wallachian tribes also produced a famous warrior, who also aimed to restore the glory of the ancestor Genghis Khan, entangled the alliance of the Wallachian tribes, and tried his best to enter the Central Plains again.
At that time, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Emperor Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen, he was much worse than his father, grandfather, and grandfather, but he was still very conceited, thinking that he could be as heroic as his ancestors, so he disregarded the persuasion of the empress dowager and the courtiers, personally led almost all the main forces of the north of Daming to meet the battle first, but he went out with the eunuch Wang Zhen, who had been left behind for thousands of years, and after a childlike blind operation, the Ming army was besieged by Vala at Tumu Fort, and hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were wiped out. Ming Yingzong himself was also captured, Tumu Fort had reached the Zhangjiakou area, the emperor was captured, and the Wallachian soldiers approached the city of Beijing, but at this time there were no soldiers available in the city of Beijing, only the old and weak soldiers, and the people who were full of fear and trepidation.
Yu Qian, who was a soldier's attendant, did not panic, he felt that it was time for him to be loyal to the country, and he angrily rebuked the cowards who suggested moving south, believing that once they moved south, the people's hearts would be lost, and the lessons of the Southern Song Dynasty were vividly remembered, and once they went to the south, the north would never be able to get it back. The aforementioned poem written to Yue Fei came from this time period, and Yu Qian ignored The unreasonable demands of Ye Xian, and let Ming Yingzong's brother Zhu Qiyu supervise the country and began a vigorous defense war in Beijing.
As the saying goes, "there will be a heart that must die, and there will be no greed for life", Daming's concerted resistance and fighting spirit disrupted the intentions of The Wallachians, who originally thought that if the Emperor was captured, they would use the Emperor as a bargaining chip and extort the emperor as in the jingkang revolution in those years, and then take down the leaderless Daming Jiangshan in one fell swoop, but Yu Qian resolutely supported Zhu Qiyu on the throne, broke the thoughts of the Wallachians, stabilized the hearts and minds of the army, and waited for all the Qinwang soldiers and horses, after all, the Wara army was a tribal alliance, and it could not withstand a long period of consumption, and in the end, Yu Qian defended the city of Beijing and held on to the final victory.
Yu Qian boasted that he was single-minded for the country, and had never had selfish intentions, after Ming Yingzong was captured by The Wallachians, Yu Qian was very anxious, and once cried in the face of the North, but in order for the Daming Society to not be threatened by the Wallachians, he quickly calmed down, at that time, Yingzong's son was only two years old, and he could not bear the responsibility at all, and some uncles of the foreign clans were also cowering, Yu Qian was worried that the country had no monarch, the prince was young, the enemy was coming, and the country was already in crisis, so he asked the empress dowager to establish Emperor Yingzong's brother Zhu Qiyu as emperor, and Zhu Qiyu repeatedly resigned. Yu Qian said loudly: "We are completely for the sake of the country, not for personal purposes." He devoted himself to the sake of the Great Ming Society, but this also laid the hidden danger for his later tragedies.
Yu Qian led the Beijing military and people to resist the attack of The Wallachians and won the victory in the defense of Beijing, and after the Retreat of the Wallachians, the useless Town of Zhu Qi was naturally released, but how to arrange him was a problem, because at this time, on the throne was the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu, the emperor was ruthless, for his own power, Zhu Qiyu put his brother under house arrest, restricting his freedom, Ming Yingzong became the Emperor Taishang, and was imprisoned in the courtyard wall for eight years, of course, imprisoning Yingzong This was not Yu Qian's idea. But Yingzong's heart inevitably buried a deep hatred for Qian.
In the next few years, Yu Qian was in his position, seeking his own government, unlike the Yingzong period, he was snubbed, during the reign of Emperor Jingtai, he was reused, and he also had the space to show his fists, although he was in a high position, he still did not forget his heart, and continued to implement the incorruptibility, just like the poem, "To leave innocence in the world", he did it, but at the same time, he also offended many people, everyone said that Yu Qian would not be an official at all, where he was such an official, they firmly believed that there was no fish in the water until it was clear, and there was no disciple in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Many officials have developed the problem of not being able to get rid of the tail, and all kinds of official ills have also followed, so Yu Qian, who is just and upright, naturally becomes the person they hate the most.
Finally, their opportunity came, although Emperor Jingtai established Emperor Yingzong as Emperor Taishang and imprisoned him in the Southern Palace, but Emperor Jingtai's own heirs all died prematurely, in 1457, eight years of Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill and died, there was no heir, some ministers conspired to welcome back Ming Yingzong, Yingzong was restored, history called "the change of the door", after the restoration of Emperor Yingzong, a dynasty of heaven and a courtier, although he was somewhat because Yu Qian had supported others during his reign, but Yu Qian had saved the danger of Daming after all, and he was also hesitant to deal with Yu Qian However, among those who supported the restoration of Emperor Yingzong, there were many villains who had always been hostile to Qian, and they believed that Yu Qian must be completely removed in order to make them satisfied. Yu Qian has been an official for many years, has always been clean in his sleeves, impartial and law-abiding, those villains can not even find the evidence of the crime of murdering Yu Qian, and finally there is really no way, can only use the word "intention", similar to Qin Jun's "unnecessary" plot to kill Yue Fei, and once again killed Yu Qian with the same nonsense. Yu Qian at this time, is still a fearless spirit, he thinks frank and frank, no shame, he did not argue, there is no need to yield, frankly to them, he was strong against the public opinion, insisted on Beijing, supported the emperor Zhu Qiyu, has long guessed his own ending, Jin Yong has a saying, the hero is great, for the country and the people, Yu Qian will not do martial arts, but he can be called a hero, here, the author recommends a martial arts book of Liang Yusheng's martial arts "Ping Trace Hero Video", which describes qian's image, more three-dimensional, More chivalrous.
Yu Qian was wrongfully killed at that time, the people, and honest officials knew that he was wronged, when he confiscated his property, it also made people boo, he was a cabinet minister for more than ten years, there was no decent property in the family, and even those villains who raided him had to admire his incorruptibility, after Emperor Yingzong's death, his successor Ming Xianzong rehabilitated Qian, rebuilt the ancestral hall for him in the West Lake, Yu Qian also long-cherished, and his grandfather-in-law, whom he admired in his heart, accompanied the West Lake and flowed for hundreds of years.
Just as the so-called "predecessors have looked at me, I have followed the people who came after me", Yu is frank and frank, and the sun and the moon are the same. "The vicissitudes of the sea, the true colors of heroes, the green mountains stand tall, and the ambition not to fall into the clouds", even if people are impetuous now, too many people go to the West Lake to play, they may not be able to remember that there is a person named Yu Qian here. But even after another hundred years, the glitz dissipates, Yu Qian will still be because of his fearlessness, his integrity will flow for hundreds of years, and the real hero will not be forgotten. What makes me happy is that the TV series is finally no longer a full screen of Qing Palace drama, last year's hit "Daming Style", our Daming loyalists, Yu Qian finally has a film and television image, this TV series may still be, there are many such deficiencies, but this is a good start, Daming heroes should not be buried, their heroic deeds, should be passed down by hundreds of generations.
"Who can mention it with a heart, sit alone in front of the flowers and listen to the birds" This is Yu Qian's lonely heart, "Holding the galaxy with bare hands, the public self-proclaimed name hangs the universe and buries the bones, where do I come to hang Yingxian." This is Wang Shouren's elegance of Qian's writing in the Ming Dynasty. I finally understood, Yue Fei, Yu Qian, including the Southern Ming Zhang Huangyan I will mention later, it is precisely because of these people, our Chinese culture, can always be passed down for thousands of years, will not be broken by the northern nomads, but also because of them, even if the ethnic minorities win the victory, live in the Central Plains, they will also can't help but sigh their integrity, by the advanced fearless spirit and advanced Confucian culture, the reverse was conquered, the ancients cloud, "Hu Yu no hundred years of luck", the nomadic people into the Central Plains, there are only two choices, first, Sinicization became me, such as the Northern Wei and Northern Zhou, and the Jurchen Manchus in the later period, and second, stubbornly did not go to Sinicization, then like the Mongolian Yuan or some other short-lived Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, hurried through history, and nothing could be left. Yu Shaobao, you have spent your whole life in order to support justice, to support Daming, your integrity and persistence, let me admire, your helpless ending, people sigh, maybe the three of you, maybe you will drink wine under the Nine Springs, tell your brilliant and brilliant life, sigh a little bit of your own unwillingness, the Chinese nation has you, the country is lucky, Yu Qian wrote it, there are still a lot of things to say, the space is limited, the next episode, please look forward to it.
