Preface
In the glorious era of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian became the bright pearl of the imperial court with the sincerity and outstanding talent of his loyal ministers. However, the vicissitudes of fate led the first loyal minister on an unpredictable journey, and finally fell into an innocent place.
It all started with the shocking case of Yu Qian's unjust beheading, and a tragic journey involving the fate of loyal ministers and the Jinyiwei family is about to unfold between the words.
Honest and honest: Yu Qian's growth and entry
Yu Qian was born in a scholarly family and had a wealthy family since he was a child. It's just that this family has been weakened and weakened, and it is not as glorious as it was back then. Yu Qian's father was a scholar in cloth clothes, and he spent all day with literature and history. Her mother was a simple and thrifty woman, and she often exhorted Yu Qian to be diligent and thrifty.
Growing up in such an environment, Yu Qian showed an amazing memory and understanding since he was a child. He often followed his father, absorbing the fragrance of ink whenever he had free time, and he couldn't extricate himself from the sea of books. When the village elders saw it, they all praised it for being a great thing in the future.
When he was ten years old, Yu Qian was sent to a private school by his father to study Xi. Here, he made many friends who had been in his old age for a long time. They come from all kinds of families, some are of noble birth, and some are as ordinary as Yu Qian. But everyone has the same interests and ideals Xi learning.
At first, Yu Qian was a little restrained because of his background, and he was reluctant to express himself. However, gradually, with the help of his teachers and classmates, his mood became more cheerful and he became more active in his Xi.
At the age of twenty, Yu Qian was fortunate to be favored by a famous Confucian. Under the careful teaching of this great Confucian, Yu Qian's knowledge and cultivation were strengthened, and he finally officially embarked on his official career in the middle and high school of the imperial examination and began his political career.
When he first joined the company, Yu Qian left an excellent impression on everyone. He was a hard-working worker, strict with himself, and gentle and courteous to the public and colleagues. Many seniors nodded their heads and admired him when they saw it, praising him for being a great tool in the future. There are also sinister people who secretly speculate whether Yu Qian is hypocritical and righteous. But Yu Qian has always gone his own way, and he is not criticized in the unexpected world.
Over the past few years, Yu Qian has gradually been promoted to official positions, and has successively held important positions such as the prefect and the prefect. He was diligent in government and loved the people, and won the hearts of the people. He has never been corrupt for many years, which makes his honest image more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The DPRK also has the reputation of "Mr. Qian is as clear as water, and the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven under the rule". As a result, Yu Qian's reputation rose and he could be called the best among all the officials in the world.
Fearless and powerful: Yu Qian's repeated righteous acts
Yu Qian's talent and prestige in various places made him highly appreciated by the emperor. No one in the court knows that he is a rare clean official in the world. However, what really made Yu Qian famous were two decisive acts of justice.
At that time, the situation in the court was turbulent, and the powerful nobleman Zhu Gaoxu plotted to rebel and set fire to innocent people. When the news came out, no one dared to question it, only Yu Qian stepped forward. In the face of the powerful, Yu Qian was fearless. He solemnly questioned the evidence of his crimes, which shocked the audience. In the end, Zhu Gaoxu was arrested and dismissed, and Yu Qian became famous because of this.
Another greedy official, Wang Zhen, wantonly extorted the people. Wang Zhen was insatiable and looted property throughout the county. Everyone was helpless, only Yu Qian treated each other indifferently and did not give Wang Zhen a chance. In the end, Wang Zhen left in the anger of the people, and Yu Qian was also elected by the people as a person of Chiayi.
With these two righteous acts, Yu Qian gradually became a figure respected by both the government and the opposition. It's just that this bright moonlight has also provoked the jealousy of the yin owl. This is also the root cause of Yu Qian's future encounter.
The Battle of Beijing: Yu Qian's Military Situation
Foreign enemies are eyeing the frontier and repeatedly intruding on the frontier. The Jingshi is in danger, and it urgently needs wise people to turn the tide. At this time, Yu Qian was ordered to lead 50,000 troops to defend against the enemy and save the people in the capital. In the face of the foreign iron horsemen with high achievements, many people can't help but be afraid. However, Yu Qian quickly stabilized the morale of the army, he was generous and gentle, and the soldiers were also respected and convinced.
In this battle to defend Beijing, Yu Qian will face an army of 300,000 foreign enemies. There is a huge disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, and the situation is very grim. In order to deal with the strong enemy, Yu Qian carefully arranged and made sufficient preparations before the battle. He used the terrain to arrange the military formation, and divided the infantry and cavalry into separate routes; Deploy reinforcements to help in batches to ensure that the strength is appropriately adjusted; What is even more rare is that he also carefully arranged military logistics supplies to solve the worries of the army.
Finally, the war between the two armies was imminent. Yu Qian personally supervised the teacher, firm and powerful. He deployed equal forces, and sent brave and warlike vanguard troops to test it. Always maintain the stability of the army's morale and the rectification of the army's appearance, Yu Qian fought with 300,000 foreign iron cavalry for more than a month before gradually turning the tide of the war.
Thirty miles outside the city of Beijing, the two armies finally fought a decisive battle. In this battle, Yu Qian personally supervised the battle to kill the enemy, and he was extremely brave. He is invincible on the battlefield, taking the lead. finally annihilated the captives in one fell swoop, made great contributions, and defended the country. Yu Qian has made outstanding achievements and has a far-reaching reputation.
Unjustly killed: a victim of political struggle
Beijing's victory in defense made Yu Qian's prestige reach its peak. However, his high achievements shocked the Lord, and because of this, he attracted the false accusations and calculations of people with evil intentions. Several powerful ministers of the government and the opposition joined forces privately and decided to get rid of Yu Qian, a big trouble.
After conspiring for days, they finally found an opportunity. That is the number of decision-making mistakes and loopholes in the defense of Beijing. This was supposed to be an impromptu response in a normal marching battle, but they seized on it and slandered Yingzong that Yu Qian was "derelict in his duties" in the war, intending to rebel and seize power.
Yingzong has a cowardly personality and is extremely obsessed with pleasure, and has never been able to handle political affairs independently. Under the repeated demagogy of these powerful ministers, he gradually became suspicious of Qian. Finally, at a political ceremony, he ordered Yu Qian's direct arrest, intending to convict him of treason.
Yu Qian never expected that he had been loyal all these years and would end up like this. He thought that he could be loyal to the country with his own strength, but in the end, he was kidnapped by words and fell into the quagmire of others.
A summarious secret trial soon began. Yu Qian was not able to escape the charge of treason after all, and was sentenced to death. Before his execution, he raised his head to the sky and sighed, lamenting his mistaken belief in the monarch and the government. Despite the sadness in his heart, Yu Qian still smiled and warned the onlookers, hoping that they would stay away from power and scheming in the future and not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Posthumous mourning: the remembrance of the spirit of humility and loyalty Yu Qian, who died unjustly and unjustly, finally died in such a tragic form. This not only caused an uproar among the people at that time, but even the Jinyi Wei who executed him wept.
At first, Jin Yiwei secretly rejoiced, thinking that Yu Qian must be extremely corrupt, and searching for his home could make a windfall. Who knew that when they rummaged through the cabinets, they only found a simple house, in which there were no famous paintings and beautiful jade, only some simple gifts from the emperor and reading notes. Jin Yiwei suddenly realized that he needed to shed blood and tears.
When the Queen Mother learned of this, she was even more grief-stricken. She had known Yu Qian for many years, and she couldn't believe that such a loyal person would be beheaded inexplicably. Thinking that as the queen mother, she failed to reveal the truth in time and save the lives of loyal ministers, she regretted it so much that she couldn't stop crying.
Yu Qian's grievances and sacrifices aroused more widespread praise and remembrance. It is widely rumored that Yu Qian's death was written, and elegy and poems were written for him. People have agreed to turn their grief into strength, and use Yu Qian's story to urge themselves to be honest and honest, and also to defend the righteous people of future generations. In this way, Yu Qian's spirit has become a glorious symbol in Chinese history.
Zhaoxue behind him: Yu Qian's grievances were rehabilitated
Time has passed, and decades after Yu Qian's death, Ming Yingzong's son Ming Xianzong succeeded to the throne. Under the pressure of public opinion, he decided to start cleaning up the historical unjust case and retry Yu Qian's case.
At this moment, none of the traitors and magnates who participated in the framing of Yu Qian were spared. They were severely punished by Ming Xianzong one by one, and the clan was punished. At the same time, Ming Xianzong also officially restored Yu Qian's reputation and issued an edict to praise him. Yu Qian's family was also promoted to an official position. At this moment, the loyal Yu Qian finally became famous and his reputation was higher than before.
At this point, Yu Qian completely washed away all the stigma and regained his innocence. He fought all his life for justice, and although he died young, he eventually became famous. Such a character and spirit will also inspire more future generations to value virtue and goodness and have the courage to be righteous.
Conclusion: A spiritual symbol of eternal immortality
Life is like a reverse journey, full of hesitation on the way. Yu Qian's life not only reflects his outstanding talent and courage, but also confirms the helpless fate of the righteous under the dark power.
However, what is truly great is the spirit that never gives in. Yu Qian worked bravely before his death, and his soul returned to his hometown after death; His words, deeds, encounters and influences are admirable, reflective and inspiring. Such a great belief and character have achieved his immortal spiritual status in Chinese history.
