The story of Han Dynasty Ti's rescue of his father is familiar to everyone. Ti Hao was the youngest of the five daughters of the Qi state Taicang Ling Chun Yuyi. Chun Yuyi was framed and arrested and detained in Chang'an Zhao Prison, where he was sentenced to corporal punishment. In order to save his father, Ti Qian put on a white robe, put a petition on his head, and knelt on the stone of the palace gate. Whenever he was said, "My father was an official, and the people of Qi praised him for his honesty and fairness; now he has committed a crime and should be sentenced to corporal punishment according to the law." I was willing to go into the government as an official maid to atone for the punishment my father deserved. Emperor Wen of Han made an exception to summon her, and after understanding the situation, he was very moved, ordered the truth to be found out, pardoned Chun Yuyi without guilt, and gave Ti Qian a special honor, and also abolished corporal punishment from then on. The act of filial piety to save her father has become a good story praised by everyone.
Tyring
During the Ming Dynasty's Wanli Dynasty, there was also a ti qian who saved his father, but he was a man. But it's also a good story. He is Qian Jingzhong, the son of Qian Ruogeng.
Qian Ruogeng was an official in the Ceremonial Department, and the official was not big or small, and he was considered a department and bureau level. Because he advised the Wanli Emperor to choose a concubine, he spoke too bluntly, which made the emperor unhappy. The emperor wanted to cure him. But there must always be a reason for governing people, so the Wanli Emperor arranged for him to go to Jiangxi and go to the prefect of Linjiang, so that a group of yushi secretly stared at him, waiting for him to make a mistake and impeach him.
Ti Haunt saves the Father
This Qian Ruogeng is really a clean official, loves the people like a son, implements benevolent government, hunts down thieves, governs calmly, and the people love him very much. Yushi looked at the fact that there was no handle to catch, so he found a reason, saying that Qian Ruogeng had tortured the caught thieves too heavily, which was a cool official. In this way, he was imprisoned and prepared to be executed.
Umbrella of all peoples
The people of Linjiang Province were reluctant to do so. The good officials were falsely imprisoned, and they began to petition collectively to seek redress. One after another, they ran from Jiangxi to Beijing, and at most more than 1,000 people trekked through the mountains and rivers together to complain about Qian Ruogeng. The first assistant of the cabinet, knowing that Qian Ruogeng had been framed, but it was not easy to reject the will, he thought of a way to reduce Qian Ruogeng's sentence every year, so that there was no need to carry out the death penalty, but became a life sentence. Qian Ruogeng has been on death row for 37 years.
When Qian Ruogeng was arrested, his son Qian Jingzhong was only 1 year old, and he was raised and studied by his mother, who also took the imperial examination. He worked harder, from the county test, the township test, the meeting test, all the way to the green light, so that many people envied. You know, the admission rate at that time was quite low, and it was a real opportunity for him to pass the exam. But just when he was about to participate in the temple examination to become a jinshi, this Qian Jingzhong actually gave up. You must know that only by becoming a jinshi can you become a high-ranking official, and giving up the temple examination is to abandon your previous achievements and self-destruct your future.
Scholars
The temple examination was conducted on an interview presided over by the emperor himself. The reason why Qian Jingzhong gave up the palace examination was to attract the attention of the emperor. He wore a prison uniform and cried out for injustice, asked to die in place of his father, knelt at the noon gate and cried, begging the cabinet and officials to change the music, and the officials in Jiangxi saw this, expressed their support one after another, and submitted an application for a retrial of Qian Ruogeng's case.
Temple test
A soldier who could try to pass the first time wore a prison uniform and shouted injustice, which attracted widespread attention. For a moment, the material discussion boiled over, and the Wanli Emperor also knew. He decreed: "Qian Jingzhong cried out for his father's grievances, please take his place, his feelings are sad." If you do not fail the Father, you will not fail in the future. "Announced that He would pardon Qian Ruogeng and let him go home for retirement."
Two years later, Qian Jingzhong re-participated in the temple examination, became a jinshi, and was appointed as the head of the punishment department. His deeds of abandoning the examination to save his father have also been passed down as a good story.
Huang Zongxi
There are many examples of similar children saving their fathers in the Ming Dynasty. For example, Huang Zunsu's son Huang Zongxi is also a typical example of saving his father. Filial piety saves the father, but it also shows that there are many unjust cases. If there is no unjust case, the filial pieties will have no soil to produce.
