In the 19th year of Yongle (142 1), Yu Qian was a scholar of Xin Chou, and Xuande conferred the imperial history. He once suppressed the rebellion of Hanwang Zhu with Xuanzong. After the rebellion, Yu Qian was promoted to the governor of Jiangxi by Xuanzong for criticizing Zhu, and received rave reviews. Xuande five years (1430), with the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War as the governor of Henan and Shanxi. In the eleventh year of orthodoxy (1446), because Wang Zhen didn't flatter and give gifts when he came to Beijing, he was framed by party followers and put in prison to die. Later, officials from the two provinces, even Wang Li, asked to be reinstated. In the 14th year of Orthodox Christianity (1449), Ming Yingzong was captured by Wala, and Wala urged him to stick to it and join the Ministry of War. On behalf of Li Zong, he reorganized the army, deployed the key points, personally supervised the war, and with an army of 220,000 troops, he arrayed himself outside the Beijing-Kowloon Gate and defeated several runners-up in Vara. It's better to do more than one thing, governor's military affairs. First, English sects were forced to make peace. He put the country first and the monarch first and was not allowed. First (Ersen) was forced to let Yingzong go. There was no gap. Since the return of Yingzong, it is still difficult to rely on peace talks. The elite of the Beijing army was selected to practice in ten regiments, and the troops were sent to guard the border. At that time, there were a lot of things in one's hand and in one's hand, but asking for advice was going it alone. When it was appropriate, he ordered a clear trial, and Wan Li went out on a piece of paper. He was worried about his country and people and forgot his health, but he didn't say what he did. He lives frugally, but he is practical and honest, which is quite taboo.
"History of Ming Dynasty" once commented on Yu Qian, saying, "When Yu Qian was governor, he made outstanding achievements and was outstanding in the world." So, who was Yu Qian of the Ming Dynasty? In order to fully understand who Yu Qian was in Ming Dynasty, we need to start with his brief introduction. Yu Qian was born in 1398 and died in 1457 at the age of 59. Although Yu Qian's ancestral home was in Shangqiu, Henan, he grew up in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. When Yu Qian was a teenager, he worshipped Wen Tianxiang very much. He thinks Wen Tianxiang is an indomitable spirit hero. In order to learn Wen Tianxiang's unyielding integrity, Yu Qian often hangs a portrait of Wen Tianxiang beside his seat. Whenever he is sleepy, Yu Qian will use Wen Tianxiang's story to motivate himself. When Yu Qian was seven years old, a monk happened to see Yu Qian's face and told him that when he grew up, he wanted to be a prime minister and save national affairs. In 142 1 year, Yu Qian was 23 years old. Because he took the exam, he won the Jinshi of Xin Chou Branch in one fell swoop, and then entered the Ming court as an official. Soon, Yu Qian followed Ming Xuanzong to suppress the rebellion of Hanwang Zhu. Because of Yu Qian's outstanding achievements in quelling Zhu and Hanwang rebellion, Ming Xuanzong promoted Yu Qian to governor Jiangxi.
In the following years, Yu Qian performed the duties of governor in Shanxi and Henan as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War. In A.D. 1446, Yu Qian was framed and imprisoned by other colleagues for not bribing Wang Zhen. After Yu Qian was released from prison, Yu Qian understood the great responsibility on his shoulders. In A.D. 1449, the rebellion broke out in Tubao, and Yu Qian personally led his troops to resist the enemy's attack. After Ming Yingzong was arrested, Yu Qian put the country first and actively rescued the Ming regime from the quagmire. Yu Qian is a famous loyal minister in history. His life was white, his introspection was simple and his hands were clean. He is a rare loyal minister. But why did Yu Qian die after the restoration of Ming Yingzong? Ming Yingzong was taken prisoner by Waci because he was defeated in the Civil War. During this period, for the sake of the country, there will be days when there is no monarch and no minister. Because the ministers headed by Qian advocated that Ming Yingzong's younger brother should be emperor and changed his country name to Jingtai, Waci wanted to use the captured Ming Yingzong to create conditions for the Ming Dynasty and send troops to crusade against the Ming Dynasty, but he was resisted by Yu Qian, the leader.
Finally, Ming Yingzong was put back to his own country, but was put under house arrest by his younger brother. This house arrest is a long seven years. After "the change of seizing the door", Ming Yingzong finally ascended the throne again and regained power. Shortly after Ming Yingzong ascended the throne, Zhu Qiyu died. Ming Yingzong naturally knew that Yu Qian was a loyal minister, but if Yu Qian was killed, he could regain his prestige. This is impossible, in the face of a loss of rights. In the face of Ming Yingzong who has experienced so much suffering, he has some experience. Killing Yu Qian is also a warning to those who originally supported Zhu Qiyu as emperor, otherwise it will not be enough to prove the prestige and political authority of the restored king. Thus, Ming Yingzong is helpless for the death of Qian.
Ming Yingzong was obviously succeeded by the son of Ming Yingzong. Maybe it's a sense of guilt about modesty. Ming Yingzong particularly stressed the need for Ming Yingzong to settle grievances. However, a generation of loyal ministers have become swords and shadows. Even if the resentment is washed away, it will have no effect, just some fame. After understanding Yu Qian's story, I feel that Yu Qian is both great and tragic. Yu Qian is great because he is an incorruptible person who does not collude with the evil forces of the imperial court. The reason why Yu Qian is a miserable person is because Yu Qian died miserably. As the saying goes, one person's words are worth a long mouth. Yu Qian was framed and imprisoned, so he could only argue and wait for the emperor's final punishment. Since Yu Qian died unjustly, why was Yu Qian killed in the Ming Dynasty?
In the books that recorded Yu Qian's life experience, why Yu Qian was killed in the Ming Dynasty was recorded in detail. When it comes to why Yu Qian was killed by the Ming Dynasty, we have to start with the changes of the civil fort. After the death of Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, the nine-year-old eldest son, became the emperor of Ming Yingzong. Ming Yingzong liked eunuch Wang Zhen very much, and the autocratic power of eunuch soon led to the change of civil fort. After the Neibao rebellion broke out, Valla captured Ming Yingzong, the most threatening heavyweight in the Ming Dynasty. In this case, Yu Qian dealt with government affairs while resisting Vara's attack. Yu Qian suggested that the Empress Dowager should make Ming Yingzong's younger brother Zhu Qiyu emperor. As long as Yingzong is useless, Vara will let Yingzong come back. In A.D. 1457, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill. At this time, the prince had already died young, and who should inherit the throne became a problem. Subsequently, Shi Heng colluded with eunuch Cao Jixiang and others to launch a coup, and re-established the restoration of Ming Yingzong and Zhu Qizhen. After Ming Yingzong ascended the throne again, Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen fabricated Yu Qian's rebellion in order to eliminate his influence. When Ming Yingzong learned of this incident, he immediately sent officials to arrest Yu Qian, who was beheaded on the 22nd of A.D. 1457 1 month.
Yu Qian was a famous national hero in Ming Dynasty. After his death, later generations built the Tomb of Yuqian to commemorate him. Today, Tomb of Yuqian in Ming Dynasty is located at the foot of Santai Mountain in Xihu District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Tomb of Yuqian sat west facing east. Famous scholars in Qing Dynasty once wrote an inscription in front of the tomb: "The West Lake is valued by the world because of Yue and Shuang Shaobao." . In A.D. 1466, after Yu Qian's unjust case was rehabilitated, in recognition of Yu Qian's upright national integrity and contribution to the Ming court, Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty conferred the title of "Su Su" on him and established the Gong Jing Temple next to Tomb of Yuqian in Ming Taizu. In addition, the Spring and Autumn Festival was established. Judging from the pattern, Tomb of Yuqian, Gong Jing Temple and Spring and Autumn Altar just formed a complete pattern. During the period of 1966, Tomb of Yuqian was severely damaged in the Ming Dynasty. After the Cultural Revolution, the government decided to rebuild Tomb of Yuqian. After reconstruction, the original seven tombs were changed into one. According to the survey, Tomb of Yuqian was 2 meters high in Ming Dynasty. From the appearance, Tomb of Yuqian is made of blue bricks and looks like a ring.
In addition to rebuilding the tomb, the government authorities also carved a tombstone, which read "Daming Shaobao, Minister of the Ministry of War gave the history of a teacher to the cemetery". In front of Yu Qian's tomb, an altar and incense burner were also set up. 1998 happens to be Yu Qian's 600th birthday. In memory of Yu Qian, the local government built memorial archways and stone carvings on both sides of Tomb of Yuqian, and also restored Yu Qian's ancestral hall. Today, Tomb of Yuqian has become an important cultural landscape of the West Lake. In 2006, Tomb of Yuqian was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
