Zhu Qizhen, the prisoner back then, finally returned to his palace. Eight years ago, he set out from here and became a hostage and prisoner. Eight years later, he returned here and continued to be his emperor. Chinese history books are amazing, no matter how embarrassing things are, they can be described in a high-sounding way. Mr. Zhu Qizhen has been a captive, a hostage, and a prisoner successively. ", "Retreat", described in today's words, can also be said to go out to experience the people's conditions, go to the frontiers to experience life and enjoy life with the people, and coordinate ethnic relations.

Of course, I know what I have suffered, and Mr. Zhu Qizhen can only knock down his front teeth and swallow it in his stomach.But in any case, this time he can be regarded as "I, Hu Hansan, are back again". But the most important job of this Hu Hansan at present is not the country's major policies, but to appease his "home return group". Zhu Qizhen is indeed a very interesting person. On the second day after he ascended the throne, he gave generous rewards to the members of the "Homecoming Mission": Xu Youzhen, No. 1 member of the "Returning Home Mission": joined the cabinet, Minister of the Ministry of War.

Shi Heng, No. 2 member of the "Returning Home Mission": Feng Zhongguo Duke (June). Zhang Fu, No. 3 member of the "Returning Homeland Mission", was given the title of Marquis of Taiping (jue). Cao Jixiang, No. 4 member of the "Returning Homeland Mission": the eunuch for ceremonies, and the governor of the three battalions. The merits and virtues are complete, and there is nothing great about goodness. According to our common sense in the past, since it is a "returning group", it will definitely do some murder, arson, and evil things. In accordance with the purpose, he did a few bad things vigorously and resolutely.

On the same day, Xu Youzhen ordered the arrest of Yu Qian, Wang Wen and others, and put them in prison. For Xu Youzhen, he had endured it for too long. If he didn't report now, let alone when! Then there was a big change in the cabinet. Chen Xun, Jiang Yuan, Shang Ren, Xiao and others were all fired and kicked out, and Xu Youzhen was also very interesting. People took care of them and arranged a job for them so that they could continue to serve the country (discharged to Liaodong). Of course, some people who were punished also deserved their crimes, such as Lu Zhong in the Golden Knife case. This man did not get any benefits after betraying his friend, but now he got his retribution - beheading.

There is also Gao Ping who suggested that Zhu Qiyu cut down trees and let Zhu Qizhen bask in the sun. Back then, he made fun of Zhu Qizhen on a whim. At this time, his head was also chopped off. In fact, he did nothing but fell trees. things. It seems that the environmental destroyers really do not have a good end. After the cabinet was swept away by the "Returning Homeland Mission", only Gao Gu was left, so Xu Youzhen arranged for his cronies Xu Bin and Xue Xuan to join the cabinet. So far, he has completely controlled the cabinet and the government. At this time, the cabinet and Xu Youzhen had a total of four people. It may be that Xu Youzhen thought there were too few people. In February, he called another "person of his own", Li Xian, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, into the cabinet.

But Xu Youzhen never imagined that this person named Li Xian was not actually his confidant. When Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, and Cao Jixiang were domineering and domineering, he kept silent and silently observed these door-to-door changes." Every move of the Home Returning Group, looking for their weaknesses and contradictions, waiting for the opportunity to come. No matter what happened later, at least at that time, Xu Youzhen and others were indeed extremely powerful, especially Xu Youzhen, who spared no effort to attack and frame all those who were enemies with him, and the biggest unjust case he directed was the famous Yu Qian case.

Xu Youzhen once thought that as long as he was in power, it would be easy to kill Yu Qian, but now he realized that it was not an easy task to get rid of Yu Qian. The reason is that he has no reason to kill Yu Qian. Yu Qian is an upright person with high prestige and no bad deeds. There is really no excuse for him. He has neither financial problems nor life style problems (this was not a problem back then). It is not easy to bring him down! But in the end, the deep-seated hatred for Qian made him think of a way. Yu Qian is the main minister who promoted Zhu Qiyu, and also Zhu Qiyu's confidant, and the person Zhu Qizhen hates the most is his younger brother Zhu Qiyu. Xu Youzhen decided to use this to deepen Zhu Qizhen's disgust towards Qian. At the same time, Xu Youzhen also made up a lie, It is said that Yu Qian intends to invite foreign vassals to the capital to take over the throne, and firmly opposes Zhu Jianshen's succession.

After making these preparations, he went to see Zhu Qizhen. In his opinion, Zhu Qizhen would definitely agree to kill Yu Qian. But the development of things was far beyond his expectations. Xu Youzhen made an impassioned statement in front of Zhu Qizhen, saying that Yu Qian did not want peace talks and supported the new king because he wanted to put the emperor to death. Such a person should be killed soon and so on. But Zhu Qizhen just shook his head with a smile, and said to Xu Youzhen: "Yu Qian has merit." Xu Youzhen was dumbfounded. He sees Zhu Qizhen too simply. This Supreme Emperor has weathered many storms and understands people's hearts. He has a clear understanding of Xu Youzhen's motives. He knows that Xu Youzhen did this for personal revenge, but he wants to borrow a knife to kill someone and ask him to carry a murder hero. How could he be willing to do this kind of loss-making business?

Xu Youzhen was in a hurry, if she kept Yu Qian, she would lose her life once she recovered in the future, so in a hurry, he came up with another reason to kill Yu Qian. He believed that as long as he told this reason, Yu Qian would surely die! Xu Youzhen raised her head and said loudly: "If you don't kill Yu Qian, this will be a nameless move!" Zhu Qizhen was awakened, and he suddenly realized that Xu Youzhen was right. The so-called "seizure of the door" was a coup without a legitimate name, and according to Xu Youzhen, Yu Qian and other ministers were all planning to make foreign vassals emperors and opposed themselves. Kill Yu Qian, set up a model of a conspiracy group, and show the whole country the compulsion and justice of his actions, and the legitimacy of the "Change of Seizing the Door" will no longer exist.

There is no other way, this notoriety has to be recited. Yu Qian, you must die! Xu Youzhen smiled, he knew that the emperor had launched a murderous plan, but what the emperor never expected was that he had actually fallen into his own trap, because the so-called Yu Qian must die was just a complicated logical trap, and the reason why this trap was If it works, it is entirely based on the lie that Yu Qian intends to establish the vassal king as emperor. This is indeed a complex logical trap, and it was not until two years later that another wise man, Li Xian, finally revealed the mystery for Zhu Qizhen.

Not long after, both Wang Wen and Yu Qian in prison knew their crimes-welcoming foreign vassals.This is an extremely serious crime, not only to behead, but also to exterminate the family.Wang Wen became anxious when he heard this, and he jumped up, ready to defend himself. Wang Wen is very confident, and he has sufficient excuses, because the so-called welcoming the feudal lord must first use the gold medal to summon the vassal king to Beijing, and neither he nor Yu Qian has touched the gold medal, so in his opinion, this charge is very easy refuted. But Yu Qian didn't move at all, just smiled and said to Wang Wen: "This was ordered by Shi Heng and the others, what's the use of pleading!" Things did go as Yu Qian expected, the presiding judge of the case found no real evidence in the end, and had no choice but to ask Xu Youzhen for instructions on how to solve this problem. After all, Xu Youzhen is an old political hooligan. He said a sentence without thinking and solved this problem. He probably didn't think that this sentence would become a famous sentence through the ages, which will be cast aside by future generations. His words are: "Although there is no sign, there is meaning." Officials condensed his meaning, distilled it into two more expressive words - "will", and finally convicted him. In Chinese history, the only sentence that is notorious enough to rival this sentence is the sentence "unnecessary". "Unreasonable" killed Yue Fei, and "Will" killed Yu Qian. What a wonderful scandal! And Xu Youzhen was selected into the list of the most shameless people in history by virtue of this sentence. On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, Yu Qian was escorted outside Chongwenmen, and in front of the city that he had defended desperately, he got his final ending - beheaded. Historical records: The world is wronged. After Yu Qian was killed, the house should be ransacked as a rule, but when the officials who ransacked the house came to Yu Qian's house, they found that this was a very easy task, because Yu Qian's house had nothing, except for the necessities of life, there was no extra money at all (the family has no money left). The officials who confiscated the house never expected that the family of a high-ranking official from Yipin would be so impoverished. They were not reconciled, and they ransacked the boxes and cabinets everywhere, hoping to find evidence of Yu Qian's corruption. Soon after, they finally found a room in Yu Qian's house that was locked and no one was going in or out. There is no gold, silver or treasure in the house, only two things are displayed - boa robe and sword.These were specially rewarded to Yu Qian by Zhu Qiyu in recognition of his achievements, but Yu Qian was ordered to accept them, but locked them up and never showed them to others to show his glory. The people who ransacked the house finally restrained their usual arrogant attitude, and left Yu Qian's house quietly, because everything they saw clearly told them: the person who was ransacked by them was a person of noble character, a Amazing people. Zhu Qizhen regretted it very much shortly afterwards, especially after Xu Youzhen's conspiracy was exposed, he repeatedly asked the other two parties, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, why they made up lies to frame Yu Qian. Shi Heng had no choice but to shift the responsibility to Xu Youzhen. He replied: "I don't know either, this is what Xu Youzhen asked me to say." Zhu Qizhen was dumbfounded when he heard this, but kept shaking his head and sighing. But the emperor could not admit his mistakes, so Zhu Qizhen entrusted this task to his son. Eight years later, the prince Zhu Jianshen had just succeeded to the throne, and he issued an edict to vindicate Yu Qian and recall Yu Qian's son Yu Mian .In the Wanli period, Ming Shenzong, who was surprisingly lazy, also admired Qian, and awarded him the posthumous title "Zhongsu" to affirm his life's achievements. In fact, Yu Qian didn't need the emperor's so-called praise, because these so-called emperors didn't seem to have the qualifications to evaluate Yu Qian.There have been countless emperors before Ming Yingzong, and there will be many after him, but Yu Qian is unique. People will never forget that it was this man who stood up in times of crisis, turned the tide, defended the capital and half of Daming, and saved the lives of countless civilians. He was full of ambition to commit himself to the country since he was a child. After decades of tempering and testing, he grew from a student studying hard under a lonely lamp to a pillar of the country. He is in a high position, but he is clean and upright. He has never been corrupt or accepted bribes in his decades of official career. Although his life is not rich, he has never abused his power and has always insisted on his own integrity in poverty. He is not afraid of difficulties and risks, and stands up when the country is most in danger, and bears the rise and fall of the world. He lived his life openly and aboveboard. In this filthy world, people who can spend their lives cleanly are worthy of admiration. And if he can still make some achievements, then we can say that this is a great man. Yu Qian is such a person. His greatness does not need to be affirmed by anyone, nor does he need any proof, because his life is just like his poem, magnanimous and magnanimous, worthy of the same glory as the sun and the moon. This is the portrayal of his life. I once visited Hangzhou and made a special trip to pay homage to this hero, but when I arrived at Yuqian Temple, what I saw really surprised me. It was the golden week at that time, and there were countless tourists in Hangzhou, but Yuqian Temple was full of tourists Few, very deserted, but met a few foreign students bowing to the statue of Yu Qian, they were surprised and came forward to talk, only to learn that they saw this history when they were studying in university, admired this hero very much, and went to catch up with him specially. Come pay your respects. After listening to them, I was speechless. On the altar, Mr. Yu Qian still maintained his calm demeanor, presumably he was the same before his execution. More than five hundred years have passed, and it seems that Yu Qian has never left. He has always stood here, overlooking the land he has watered with his life and blood, and the mortal beings he has defended desperately. I was relieved, no matter whether the people here are deserted, no one cares about it, and whether there are admirers here to worship, it has nothing to do with Yu Qian, the owner of this ancestral hall. The vicissitudes of life show the true qualities of a hero!Even after another 500 years, when countless pomp and vanity dissipate, Yu Qian will still stand here, and will still be passed down from generation to generation for his integrity, selflessness, bravery and fearlessness. Because he is a hero who will always live in our hearts, a real hero.And real heroes will never be forgotten. I firmly believe in this. There are many powerful figures in the Ming Dynasty. I once made a ranking list for these figures, and Yu Qian should be ranked second in my opinion. Also after Yu Qian, this is because there are two evaluation criteria: character and talent.Although some people's talents are indeed better than modesty, their conduct is still lacking.For example, the political problems of Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang and the economic problems of Comrade Zhang Juzheng. And Yu Qian is not only talented, but also almost impeccable in morality. How many people have the so-called ability and political integrity through the ages! If there are no exceptions, Yu Qian should have been ranked first, but unfortunately, after him, another expert turned out to be born. Xiao, and start well and end well, can be called an inexhaustible genius.For this man, the title of hero seems to be no longer applicable, because in the eyes of many people, there is a more suitable title for him-sage. This dear friend will also be the protagonist in our later articles, so I won’t say much here. Finally, after Yu Qian’s death, his son Yu Mian was punished to be exiled into the army, and the place where he was exiled is called Longmen. The later series of movies "Dragon Inn" used this as the template for the story, and the life prototype of the villain eunuch is Comrade Cao Jixiang, supervisor of rituals. Although we have reason to believe that this is a non-existent thing, it is also a kind of fun to tease Cao Jixiang and others when we have nothing to do. Killed a batch, replaced a batch, made new dragon robes, repaired the palace, changed the year name (Jingtai was changed to Tianshun), after more than a month of tossing, Zhu Qizhen finally stopped. Every family is exhausted, not to mention changing the emperor. Ordinarily, the matter was completed smoothly, but Zhu Qizhen never imagined that although he had thought carefully and handled everything personally, he still made a huge mistake, and this mistake would create a unique phenomenon in Chinese history. Qi Zhen became the laughing stock of history. What mistake did Zhu Qizhen make? As we mentioned earlier, Zhu Qizhen succeeded in winning the throne on the 17th day of the first lunar month, and then ascended the throne as emperor. He considered everything, but he forgot the person who was kicked out of the throne by him—— — Zhu Qiyu! At that time Zhu Qiyu was dying, so Zhu Qizhen ignored him and sat on the throne directly, but he didn't expect that his younger brother was still very tenacious, and it took more than a month to die, it didn't matter, it was terrible What's more, he forgot an extremely important thing - to dethrone Zhu Qiyu's emperor status! This old man worked in a hurry for more than ten days before he suddenly remembered that his half-life brother was still the emperor. Zhu Qizhen, dumbfounded, immediately declared Zhu Qiyu to be deposed in the name of the empress dowager, but it was too late. It was already the first day of February, that is to say, during these ten days, the Ming Dynasty had two emperors at the same time, and these two emperors were both current emperors, one was sitting outside and the other was lying inside.This is really a rare spectacle through the ages. Although Zhu Qizhen made a joke, he still secured the throne after all, and began his second generation of rule - Tianshun. After the unjust murder of Yu Qian, the members of the "Returning to the Native Group" seemed to have a bright future. If it ends here in the language of fairy tales, it can be expressed as: "The four of them held hands and started a happy life from then on." But it is a pity that in our country, which has a long and excellent historical and cultural tradition (such as power struggles and thick black studies), there is no market for fairy tales. Conspiracy groups like them always have two sentences in their endings. One sentence is "to fight against the outside world, we must first settle the inside"; the other is "crossing the river and tearing down the bridge".However, judging from the later development of the situation, "returning the homeland group" roughly applies to the second sentence.
