Qiu Luan and the Change of Ding Rukui in Geng Xu —— The Change of Geng Xu and the beheading of loyal officials

In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, an accident in Geng Xu made the pretentious Emperor Zhu Hou lose face. Sejong in a rage, records of Yan Song to plug, ministry of war history Ding Rukui became an innocent scapegoat. Ding Rukui was beheaded, a young family living in Beijing suffered, and the fate of her hometown in northern Shandong changed.

Not afraid of powerful men and women.

Ding Kui, whose real name is Zhang Da, is from Guanjiazhuang, Gucheng Town, Zhanhua County. Ding's grandnephew and director of Guanjiazhuang Village Committee told reporters that the vast majority of Guanjiazhuang are Ding Shi clansmen. Before Ding Ruyu's accident, this village was called Dingjiazhuang. After the change of Geng Xu, Dingjiazhuang was renamed Guanjiazhuang.

As for Ding Rukui's childhood, Ding said that there were not many stories circulating at home, only that he was born brilliantly, extremely intelligent, absorbed in reading, had excellent memory and outstanding literary talent, and was determined to learn from Luo Guanmin. In thirteen years, Germany took the provincial examination, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences ranked fifth. In fourteen years, Lian Jie Zheng De won a scholar, and Mel passed the imperial examination and was elected to imperial academy, Jishi Shu. Jishi Shu, known as the storage stage, can become Jishi Shu, and everyone has a chance to rise to the top. However, Ding Rukui's road to being an official was not smooth.

After Sejong succeeded to the throne, Ding Rukui was appointed as the minister of rites. He was beaten by Emperor Xiahou _ and was kicked out of the house for a big gift. Soon, Sejong read that he was outstanding in literary talent and noble in moral character, and he was restored to his official position. He has served as Zuobuzheng in Shanxi, Baoding in Gansu, Governor Yingtian, Huguang's participation in politics, Governor of Henan, Assistant Minister of Official Department, Minister of War, and Regiment Camp Supervisor.

At that time, the local Tatar leader of Mongolia, the American army, was brave and good at fighting, and often invaded the border areas, becoming the main opponent of Beiming. In the southern coastal provinces, the Japanese aggressors are rampant and the people are miserable. And the sejong emperor, fatuous. He quit his Buddhist life, fell in love with the harem, recruited world-famous alchemists, and hoped to live forever, but ignored state affairs and did not go to the early dynasty for several months.

Ding Kuizong's nephew and cultural researcher Ding said that Sejong only prized Yan Song, and all power was stolen by Yan Song and his son. However, Yan Song's father and son are overbearing, network henchmen, insatiable, useless to the country, specializing in harming the people, connecting Land Rover in the north and enemies in the south, which makes Daming Jiangshan country restless. The upright Ding Rukui offended Yan Song several times in his official career and was regarded as a thorn in Yan Song's side.

Ding Kui was appointed as assistant to the imperial history and governor of Douchayuan. Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, was a group of officials who acted as whipping and blackmailing pawns during the Fuzheng period. Ding Kui found it and cut it. He didn't. I don't need to cut his post. Yan Song was greatly dissatisfied after hearing this.

When Ding Kui was the minister of war, his subordinates advised him to attach himself to Yan Song and let him give Yan Song a gift. Ding Rukui asked: How much does it take to satisfy his taste? Subordinate: for example, 40 kg of platinum. Ding Rukui said, how much salary do you need for many years? Subordinate: It is enough to take public funds. Ding Kui said: I am the minister of war favored by the imperial court. How can I give him our gold and silver as a gift? So, never t-send. So Yan Song bears a grudge.

Ding Rukui, who didn't understand the current situation, found that the army was corrupt in Yan Song, and the number of false members was 10. The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled have no fighting capacity, and the phenomenon of falsely claiming military pay is very serious. One by one, Ding Rukui severely punished corrupt officials and offended Yan Song Xiahou _, which made Song very angry. At the same time, Ding Rukui wrote to the emperor one after another and put forward suggestions for reforming the national defense system, which eliminated the disadvantages of ar.

According to Ding, in July of the 29th year of Jiajing, Anda led the troops to Datong. Qiu Luan, the company commander of Datong, is a close friend of Yan Song. He sent a thick bribe to ask him not to attack Datong and move to other places. In August, the beneficiary Anda led his troops eastward along the Great Wall and down the Chaohe River, reaching Gubeikou. Ding Rukui, who got the news, quickly mobilized troops and struggled to resist. Yan Song's cronies either refused to contribute, or sent some false information to Ding Rukui, or were afraid of death, so it was difficult to compete with Anda. Yan Song was afraid that Ding Rukui would succeed, and there was no gap, so he took Ding Rukui back. The answer successfully broke through the Gubeikou line. A: I also sent a Qingqi to bypass Huangyugou, break through the long city wall and reach the two capitals.

Ding Kui quickly mobilized troops from two capitals. This announcement revealed that the so-called 350,000-strong army has only 40,000 to 50,000 people, and half of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. The other half of the soldiers were taken home as servants by the prefects at home and abroad. It is true that the general is helpless and there are no soldiers in the barracks. In desperation, Ding Rukui had to mobilize the candidates from Beijing to participate in the war. People are gearing up and responding positively. Go to the armory to get weapons, and the eunuch in charge of the armory asks for bribes as usual. Forced to open the armory, but no weapons are available! Not only that, Yan Song also cut off the supply of Ding Rukui's troops transferred to Beijing, and the soldiers could not eat for four or five days.

Yan Song frightened Ding Rukui, who came to ask for instructions on how to resist the war. He said that if you get into war, you can hide if you lose. If you fight in the suburbs of Beijing, how can you hide if you lose? Ding Rukui said, I don't-I dare not be greedy, but it's urgent. My country has given me great kindness, so I should serve my country. I don't-I dare not retreat without authorization, so I have to ask to fight against the enemy. Seeing that persuasion failed, Yan Song threatened the emperor to rest in the West Park. Your insistence on going to war alarmed the emperor. No, isn't that your own fault? When the enemy has robbed enough, he will naturally retreat. I will explain the situation in front of the emperor and promise not to hold you accountable.

Ding Qi said that the answer to this question was completed as planned. It is mainly aimed at the interests of the emperor and the prince, and is committed to burning and plundering the imperial tombs and the prince's real estate in the suburbs of Beijing. Princes and ministers complained to Sejong one after another, and Sejong was very angry. At this time, Yan Song bribed the emperor's page to spread rumors in front of the emperor: Shangshu turned against him and wanted to kill Ding Rukui.

Sure enough, Sejong listened to the slanderers, sent Ding Rukui, a senior minister of the Ministry of War, and Yang Shouqian, a Du Qincha, to prison for not defending themselves, and then beheaded them in the city. Cunning Yan Song was afraid that Ding Rukui would expose himself, so that things would come to light. He comforted him and said, "With the old lady here, I will never let Ding Gong die! It was not until the execution that Ding Rukui realized that this was a trap set by Yan Song. He flew into a rage and cursed the Song thief for not hitting me! Die of injustice.

Thankfully, the housekeeper changed the name of the village

The news of Ding Rukui's imprisonment soon spread to Zhanhua. The messenger followed Ding Rukui's old housekeeper.

Ding told reporters that when the imperial army rushed into the house to arrest Ding Rukui, the old housekeeper surnamed Li saw something bad and immediately thought of reporting to her hometown in Zhanhua. Taking advantage of the chaos, he slipped out of Beijing and bought a fast horse. In spite of his old age and infirmity, he trudged 800 miles day and night. At this time, Ding Rukui, his father Zhong Ding, five other old brothers and their families are all in their hometown. The old housekeeper told Ding Rukui what happened in Beijing and told the whole family to flee quickly. When I finished, I swallowed my last breath and closed my eyes.

Ding Rukui's father and brothers are Wen, Zhong, Xin, Ren and Yi. He is Zhong's son. Five old brothers quickly buried the old housekeeper in the cemetery.

After Ding Kui was beheaded, his wife was exiled to Fujian, three thousand miles away, and died halfway. His son Ding Maozheng, who was in charge of the regime change of the ministers of the Ministry of Rites before Geng Xu, was also sentenced to exile in Tieling, Liaodong. On the way to exile, the family got separated, and only the housekeeper Sun Ming accompanied them. When he arrived in exile, he was secretly instructed by Yan Song, and Ding Maozheng was soon tortured to death. At that time, Ding Maozheng and Zhang just gave birth to a baby boy 25 days ago. She is very fragile in the face of this blow. Before she died, she entrusted the baby to the housekeeper Sun Ming and said that she had named the orphan Ji Zhi. If she can help him escape, the heir of Dinggu will die of printing. Sun Ming swears that as long as he lives, he will have children. Dressed as a peddler, he took a remote road to Zhanhua, Shandong. Liaodong is thousands of miles away from Zhanhua, and it took Sun Ming more than three months. When he arrived, he realized that Ding Jia had gone to an empty room. Sun Ming hugged Ji Zhi and looked around. Finally, one day, Sun Ming met Ding Maozheng. He found his uncle and aunt in a small fishing village and gave them these orphans. Ding Jizhi was appointed as Huairou Training Officer.

Ten years later, the powerful minister Yan Song was finally overthrown, and the court completely rehabilitated Ding Rukui. Ding's family has been in contact, hoping to return to their hometown, but they have been unable to contact. Back in Zhanhua, it was their four brothers who buried the old housekeeper Li in Ding's ancestral home and raised the housekeeper for life, and renamed the east gate of Guanjiazhuang in Zhanhua ancient town Dingjiazhuang, so that future generations would always remember the kindness of Li and Sun. Since then, every year, the tomb of ancestor worship in Tomb-Sweeping Day has started from the housekeeper, and it has not changed for hundreds of years.

Ding Qi is descended from Wen Zu. He said that Ding Rukui's uncle Wen is over 90 years old and his son Kong Yiji is over 70 years old. The third son led his family for generations to live near the King Temple, 72 miles south of Cangzhou. It is said that the geographical environment here is good, the land is fertile, the feng shui is excellent, and the career is infinite. Because Wen's grandfather has been sad about his career for a long time, he changed his mind after living for several years, and then he walked 18 miles north and found a land of geomantic omen that can only guarantee everyone's prosperity. This is now Ding Zhuangzi Village, Dalangdian Township, Nanpi County. 1567, Qin Long ascended the throne, and Ding Rukui was exonerated. Wen Zu, the eldest son, didn't know about it. It was not until the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty that Wenzu returned to Zhanhua and continued his genealogy.
