Chapter 193: Yu Qian's Ancestral Hall (I)

No matter how much reluctance there is in his heart, the fact that Yang Zhen is about to leave Hangzhou, leave Zhejiang, and go to Beijing cannot be changed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info how to say, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten?

Only by knowing the melancholy after separation, Yang Zhen and Luo Yueying cherish the days of getting together in front of them even more. Before the official departure, Yang Zhen accompanied her to visit all the famous places and scenery in Hangzhou, such as the West Lake, the lonely mountain, the Linyin Temple, and the Yuewang Temple...... They have left their figures and footsteps.

Seeing that March was approaching, Tang Feng and the others had prepared everything and were about to set off, Luo Yueying invited Yang Zhen to a small ancestral hall that was far less magnificent than the Yuewang Temple next to it, and there were even fewer tourists, this may be the last time they met before Yang Zhen went to Beijing.

When looking at the three vigorous and powerful characters of Yu Qianci inscribed above the ancestral hall, Yang Zhen unconsciously had a strange thought in his heart: "How can Teacher Yu, who likes to smoke, drink, and burn his hair on the same stage with Guo Degang in later generations, be offered up?" Of course, he actually knew very well in his heart that this Yu Qian must not be the other Yu Qian.

Luo Yueying didn't know what he was thinking, and glanced at the ancestral hall with a somewhat complicated expression, with both reverence and helplessness in his eyes, and then said to Yang Zhen: "Erlang, do you know who this ancestral hall enshrines?" ”

"This ...... Do you think I don't even recognize the word Yu Qian? Yang Zhen said half-jokingly, and then shook his head and said, "To be honest, I really don't know what the identity of this sage is. "Since he can be enshrined by future generations, he is obviously a famous sage in history, but Yang Zhen has no memory of this in his current life or previous life.

After Luo Yueying heard this, although she was disappointed, she could understand. Maybe now in the future, only those who are officials or scholars, or the local people in Hangzhou still remember this great hero who saved the Ming Dynasty from danger, right? Therefore, Yang Zhen, as a martial artist in Huguang, is not incomprehensible if he doesn't know who Yu Qian is.

"Let's go in and take a look, and you'll know he's flat." Luo Yueying didn't say it directly, and entered the gate of the ancestral hall with Yang Zhen hand in arm. After walking through the aisle planted with pines and cypresses on both sides, they saw a large hall standing in front of them, only to see two couplets written on both sides of the temple door - "Don't be afraid of broken bones, you must leave your innocence in the world."

When Yang Zhen saw this couplet, his heart moved: "This couplet, I seem to have seen it somewhere before." ”

This is a poem of Ming Zhi made when he was young, called Lime Yin, and the whole poem has only four lines: thousands of hammers chiseled out of the deep mountains, and the fire burns if it is idle. Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world. Here is just an excerpt of the two sentences of Mingzhi as a couplet. Luo Yueying obviously understands this very well and explains clearly.

Yang Zhen listened to this poem, and vaguely remembered that he had read it when he was a child, but of course this childhood was referring to his previous life. He pondered and savored the poem for a long time before nodding and saying: "Although this poem does not have the grandeur of Li Su, nor does it have many beautiful words, but it has a fearless and fearless momentum that moves people when it reads. Since Shao Bao can make this poem, he must be a determined hero. ”

"Exactly, he is indeed a great hero of our Hangzhou City and our entire great tomorrow." Luo Yueying did not hide her admiration for Qian, and walked into the palace door with Yang Zhen as she spoke.

In the hall is a statue of a literati official who is high enough to see his face resolute, his eyes are deep, wearing a red official uniform, sitting upright, naturally it is the statue of Yu Qian.

After entering the door, Luo Yueying's expression became more solemn, and she no longer spoke to Yang Zhen, but knelt down on the futon in front of the statue first, and kowtowed respectfully. Seeing this, Yang Zhen didn't stand still, and saluted Yu Qian side by side with her. Although he doesn't know what Yu Qian's achievements are now, looking at Luo Yueying's appearance, he naturally knows the greatness of this person.

After silently praying, Luo Yueying got up and took Yang Zhen out of the back door of the main hall and came to a corridor. On the walls of this cloister are several pictures. Luo Yueying led him to the first painting, and then began to explain: "Yu Qian, Yu Shaobao, is a native of Qiantang County, Hangzhou, born in the 31st year of Hongwu, young and hardworking, in the nineteenth year of Yongle Jinshi, and then in the early years of Xuande awarded the official imperial history. He once made some contributions to Emperor Xuande's suppression of the rebellion of the rebel king Zhu Gaoxu, and after the rebellion, he was appreciated by the Son of Heaven for counting Zhu Gaoxu's crimes. After that, the official fortune was stable all the way, and in the orthodox years, he was imprisoned because he offended the powerful prisoner Wang Zhen and was almost killed. Along the way, Yu Shaobao has been an upright official, and he has indeed made a lot of meritorious deeds, which are praised by people in the officialdom, but it is not the reason why people build this ancestral hall. ”

"Oh? Could it be that he did something earth-shattering after that? ”

"Even if you use earth-shattering, you may not be able to describe what he did later, what can be used is only to save the danger and save the people from hanging upside down." Luo Yueying said while leading Yang Zhen to walk slowly in the corridor, pointing to this painting, telling him that this is a teenager's hard study, this is the title of the gold list, and this is also a rebuke of adultery......

After a third of the painting, she pointed to a painting with a city on it, but it was surrounded by countless soldiers outside: "In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, the biggest dangerous thing since the founding of the Ming Dynasty occurred, the change of the civil fort. Emperor Yingzong was bewitched by Wang Zhen, but he was defeated by Wara, and hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed, not to mention that even the emperor of Yingzong fell into the hands of the enemy. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Yang Zhen said in disbelief.

Luo Yueying glanced at him and said softly: "After all, this is the biggest shame since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the government will not mention it, even the picture of the Tumu Fort is not mentioned here, so not many ordinary people know about it." However, this matter is not something they can cover up, and there will always be a mark left in the history books of later generations. ”

After saying these two sentences, she brought the topic back to Yu Qian: "It is not the most dangerous for the Son of Heaven to fall into the hands of the enemy, what is even more terrifying is that the Wara army took the opportunity to attack and break through the northern passes, and the soldiers pointed directly at Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers came to the city."

"At that time, the ministers of the court and the central government were all frightened, and there was no son of heaven who was in charge, for a while, some people proposed to move the capital, and some even proposed to pay bribes to surrender, seeing that the story of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty being destroyed by foreigners was about to be staged again." As she spoke, she and Yang Zhen had already walked to the next painting, which was painted by a person who made a generous statement on the top of the main hall, so that everyone else was speechless.

"Fortunately, my Daming still has Yu Shaobao, so that the old things cannot be regenerated. At this critical moment, at the cost of his own life and reputation, Shao Bao resolutely stepped forward, denounced those who wanted to move the capital or surrender as misleading the country and the people, and resolutely demanded that troops be sent to fight the enemy. At the same time, he also established Yingzong's younger brother Zhu Qiyu as the Son of Heaven to stabilize the country's heart, and then commanded the national army to fight against Wara in Beijing as the secretary of the military department.

"Huang Tian lived up to his painstaking efforts, under the command of Shaobao, this battle, completely broke the Wara army under the city of Beijing, thus resolving a huge crisis, so that my Ming Dynasty can survive to this day. And Yu Shaobao's contribution is enough to shine in the annals of history and be admired by thousands of people in later generations. ”

After listening to her story, even Yang Zhen didn't feel respectful of Qian. I felt that the prostrations I had just made in front of the statue were not pious enough, and I hated to go back and do it again. After all, it is indeed rare in history books that such a person can stand up regardless of himself at a critical moment when the country is in danger, and still get things done. After he was silent for a long time, he said: "I didn't expect Yu Shaobao to be so good, he is really a model for those who come after me." ”

Luo Yueying didn't answer his words, but sighed lightly: "Erlang, do you think that compared with Yu Shaobao or Yue Shaobao, which one has greater merits?" "The so-called Yue Shaobao is naturally the owner of the Yue Wang Temple on the side, Yue Feiyue Pengju, the general of the Song Dynasty.

"Of course it's Yu Shaobao." Yang Zhen didn't think much about it, and gave his opinion: "Because he really saved a country." Although Yue Shaobao also made outstanding achievements, he couldn't make Song Zhongxing after all, and he only had a Southern Song Dynasty and secretly ...... peace."

Luo Yueying glanced at him and threw out another question: "Then why is the Yu Qian Temple far inferior to the Yue Wang Temple now?" And Prince Yue is a person known to women and children, but few people know about Yu Shaobao? ”

"This ...... Maybe it's because Prince Yue died too unjustly, and the people always sympathize with the tragic experience of such a great hero. Yang Zhen guessed. He also knew that the Chinese nation had always had a tradition of sympathizing with the losers, from Xiang Yu to Wen Tianxiang, to Yuan Chonghuan later, and now mentioned Yue Fei, all of whom were talked about by the people because of their final failure. As for those who have done things through their own efforts and won the world, but they are not liked by others, this is indeed a strange logic.

Luo Yueying didn't look so deeply, and when she heard him say this, she was obviously stunned for a moment, but then she said, "This may just be a reason." But the most important thing is that after Yue Shaobao was unjustly killed, there was a later Son of Heaven to rehabilitate Zhaoxue. And Yu Shaobao, although the court can't help the people to worship him, they are also trying their best to remove his influence. Because, it was the Great Tomorrow who killed him. ”

"Huh? Was Yu Shaobao also killed? ”

"Hmm!" Luo Yueying nodded, took him to the next few paintings, and explained to him: "The siege of Beijing has been lifted, Yu Shaobao has naturally contributed greatly, and the new emperor also trusts him. But at this time, Wara released Emperor Yingzong back...... "Speaking of this, her voice was stunned, and her eyes were full of sadness.
