Chapter 492: The Present Qin Hui

Since the restoration of the orthodox emperor, Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, has been on duty impartially, trying his best to control the turmoil ~ chaos in the court.

At the same time, because Yu Qian's personality is very strong, when he encounters something unpleasant, he always has to argue one or two, and he will never stand idly by.

Yu Qian looked down on those cowardly and incompetent ministers, ministers, and relatives of the emperor, so there were even more people who hated him.

Prior to this, Yu Qian had always disapproved of making peace with Warat, and was very supportive of Liu Juntao, the commander-in-chief of Shandong Town, going north to fight against Warat, although Emperor Taishang was able to come back because of this, but he was not satisfied with Qian.

Liu Juntao is also very worried about Qian because of this situation, although he has warned Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and others several times, but there is no guarantee that Yu Qian will be able to turn evil into good fortune.

It didn't take long for the undercurrent to surge in the DPRK and China, and news that was extremely unfavorable to Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, began to appear, but Yu Qian still went his own way, handled official affairs every day, and was not tired at all, and others were also emotionally moved when they saw it.

Previously, when Wara went south, Xu Youzhen was reprimanded by Yu Qian for proposing to move the capital to Nanjing, and it was precisely because of this incident that Xu Youzhen often gritted his teeth and hated Yu Qian.

And Shi Heng was originally demoted because he violated military law, but it was Yu Qian who asked Ming Dynasty Zong to forgive him and let him prime minister ten battalions of soldiers and horses, but Shi Heng was afraid that Yu Qian would not dare to be too presumptuous, so he also wanted to take Yu Qian.

When Wara went south, the Ming army soldiers won the battle of Deshengmen, Shi Heng's credit was not greater than Yu Qian, and he was ashamed to get the hereditary marquis, so he recommended Yu Qian's son Yu Mian in a book.

At that time, the orthodox emperor issued an edict to Yu Mian Jingshi, but Yu Qian tried his best to refuse: "When the country is troubled, courtiers should not take personal kindness into account morally." Moreover, Shi Heng, as a general, has not heard that he recommended a hermit and promoted a soldier to benefit the army and the country, but only recommended my son, can this be recognized by the public? I try my best to put an end to luck in military achievements, and I never dare to use my son to abuse credit. “

Later, this matter reached Shi Heng's ears, and he immediately felt ashamed and hateful, thinking that Yu Qian was deliberately humiliating himself.

As for the governor Zhang Xu, he was impeached by Yu Qian because he did not abide by the law when recruiting seedlings, and Cao Jixiang, the eunuch who set up the eunuch, has always hated Yu Qian.

It is precisely because of these old events that Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and other parties are all eager to break Wan Qian's corpse.

So, when the orthodox emperor finished cleaning up some urgent affairs, Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and others began to continue to blow the wind in the ears of the orthodox emperor.

At this time, the orthodox emperor regarded Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and others as his ministers, although he knew that Yu Qian was also a loyal minister, but he did not have a good impression of Qian, after all, Emperor Jingtai was supported by Yu Qian with a group of ministers, so that he was imprisoned by Emperor Jingtai for several years!

So the orthodox emperor issued an order and sent Jinyi Wei to immediately arrest Yu Qian and Wang Wen, a university scholar, and others.

Immediately, Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and others came up with a series of materials, framing Yu Qian and others as a party, saying that Yu Qian and others made bad remarks, and together with the eunuchs Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong, Wang Qin and others, they planned to welcome King Xiang as emperor when Emperor Jingtai was seriously ill.

Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and others took this statement, and instigated the Taoist officials to play. Xiao Weizhen, the imperial historian of the capital, supported the trial of Qian and others, and was convicted in only three days, and Yu Qian and others were convicted of rebellion and sentenced to death.

Wang Wen, a scholar, couldn't bear this kind of framing and was eager to argue in prison, but Yu Qian smiled sadly and said, "This is what Shi Heng and they meant, where is the meaning of the imperial court!" What is the use of discernment? Let's just ask for a clear conscience! “

A few days later, after Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and others presented their recitals, the orthodox emperor was still a little hesitant and said: "When the army went south before, Yu Qian also had merit, but now this disposition, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"

Xu Youzhen said: "Your Majesty, if you don't kill Yu Qian, Your Majesty's reinstatement will become a nameless matter!"

There is no need to say anything else, just this sentence is enough to convict Yu Qian and others of the death penalty!

The Orthodox Emperor's mind is decided!

When the news of Yu Qian's death sentence reached the prison, the officials in charge of the prison said: Yu Qian conspired against him, and there was no evidence.

But then Xu Youzhen replied: "Yu Qian's rebellion, although there is no trace, there is a meaning!" “

Within a few days, Xu Youzhen's words spread all over the court, and the Ministry of Intelligence also sent this sentence back to Shandong Town along with Yu Qian's imprisonment.

When Liu Juntao learned about it, he was furious, and scolded Xu Youzhen for being Qin Hui in the world, and immediately contacted Xue Tong, the chief military officer of Datong Town, who he had befriended before, and the generals of various towns in Beijing to write a letter together to defend Yu Qian.

Yu Qian has been a secretary of the military department for a long time, and the commanders and generals in various places are also deeply grateful to him, and they have responded to Liu Juntao's proposal, and in just ten days, the orthodox emperor has seen more than 20 pieces of local generals' memoranda, which are all justified for Yu Qian.

Seeing this, the orthodox emperor hesitated again, but Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen, who heard the news and came to the palace, were overjoyed and said to the orthodox emperor: "Your Majesty! Now the generals from all over the country have formed a party to protect Yu Qian, this is the evidence of Yu Qian's rebellion, if the generals from all over the Ming Dynasty are on Yu Qian's side, then how should Your Majesty deal with himself! ”

When the orthodox emperor heard this, he immediately made up his mind and ordered that Yu Qian and others be beheaded ten days later.

Ten days later, Yu Qian was escorted by the Jinyi guards to Chongwen Gate, and in front of the city he had desperately defended, he got his final ending - beheading.

The historian at that time recorded this incident: The world is wronged!

Suixi's teaching, Wu Yu, even said publicly: Yu Qian's crime should be exterminated, and all the civil and military ministers recommended by Yu Qian should be executed, and Shi and Xu should be even more so!

But none of this prevented Yu Qian from being killed, and Shi Heng even mobilized his subordinates to record all the officials who were unhappy with Yu Qian, and prepare to "settle accounts after the autumn".

When Yu Qian was beheaded, there was a commander named Duo'er, who was originally from the subordinate of the eunuch Cao Jixiang, but when Duo'er rushed to Chongwen's door, he poured a pot of good wine on the place where Qian died, and then wept in front of many people on the street.

Cao Jixiang, the eunuch of the Si Prison, was immediately angry when he heard the news, and immediately sent someone to arrest Duo'er and whip him in public.

But the next day, Duo'er still poured wine on the ground to express the memorial.

In the capital, there are countless officials and people who spontaneously pay tribute to Yu Qian, and the orthodox emperor, Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and others are all weak when they see this, but they are powerless to prohibit it.

At the same time, Liu Juntao heard that Yu Qian was beheaded on the street, and immediately cried bitterly, and ordered all the people in Shandong Town to wear filial piety and set up a mourning hall.

But the orthodox emperor turned a deaf ear to this, Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen and others were terrified when they heard the news, and they gritted their teeth with hatred for Liu Juntao.

However, Liu Juntao is different from Yu Qian, although Yu Qian is the secretary of the Ministry of War, he is only a minister, and he does not have a single soldier in his hands, as long as he has a holy decree of the orthodox emperor, he can take it.

And Liu Juntao is a powerful chief military officer with more than 100,000 soldiers, and the Tiance Army under his command is the forefront of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and other parties killed a generation of loyal ministers Yu Qian, and this infamy through the ages can be regarded as a backfall.

Liu Juntao even asked the Central Department to write a book, and all the crimes of Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and others were written into commentaries and books, and then they were widely distributed all over the world, which immediately caused Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and others to lose their reputation!

And especially Xu Youzhen's sentence: Yu Qian's rebellion, although there is no trace, there is a meaning! It was refined into a more refined two-word "intention" by the central department of Shandong Town, and suddenly became an unjust case that was comparable to Qin Hui's "unwarranted" killing Yue Fei.

It didn't take long for Xu Youzhen to be called the Qin Hui of the world by the people!

Hearing his "nickname", Xu Youzhen was so ashamed and angry that he almost lost his mind, and even found Shi Heng to discuss how to deal with Liu Juntao, but Shi Heng didn't have the courage, so he had to comfort Xu Youzhen.
