The story of Zhu Qizhen's restoration and murder of Yu Qian after the "Rebellion" was also painted by the Ming officials according to the description in Shi Minglu. There is another place where black and white are turned upside down, that is, Li Xian in Zhu Qizhen Tianshun Restoration tried his best to beautify, and even boasted about how he was a great hero who "endured humiliation and took revenge for Yu Qian", which was quite different from the real historical facts.
Zhu Qizhen was not only the real murderer who killed Yu Qian, but also purged the imperial court on a larger scale and killed many active courtiers who defended the capital. Including cabinet assistant minister Wang Wen and Yu Qian were killed together, and Fan Guang, the general who repelled the leader of Valla in the Battle of Deshengmen, was executed by Ling Chi.
Dismiss the ministers of the Ministry of Industry, Jiang Yuan, Yu, Cabinet, Official, Li and You. Under its rule, many civil and military officials were killed, exiled and deposed during the Jingtai period. Most of them are the pillars of this country, but they were purged by Zhu Qizhen, who was bent on cracking down on different factions.
Ming Yingzong: Zhu Qizhen.
In addition, during the Tianshun period after the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, there were the following evils:
Wang Zhen was rehabilitated and a temple was built to worship the soul. Even the leader of Walla first built a temple in Beijing to thank him for his "great kindness" in returning to China. Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and other "door-grabbing heroes" were entrusted with important tasks. Later, Shi Heng's uncle Shi Biao was arrogant and scheming; Eunuch Cao Jixiang and his nephew Cao Qin rebelled more openly in the capital. As for the so-called "merit", it is absurd to regard it as the party that history and Cao must pacify. The eunuch favored by the monarch sent his troops to rebel. After the Tang Dynasty, successive dynasties tried to restrict official power, and there have been such examples for 500 years. Reuse Royal Guards, Menda, etc. , the implementation of spy rule, conniving at them taking bribes to seize power, and creating many unjust cases. As a result, judges, administrative officers, governors and other officials in various provinces have been dismissed and imprisoned countless times, and even the relatives and relatives of the country have not been spared. For example, his uncle Zhu Diandi, the king of Yiyang, offended Jin Yiwei and was framed for incest with his mother. Zhu Qizhen knew this was ridiculous, and in order to maintain his lucky authority, he also decided to reverse black and white. Ignoring human life, he ordered Zhu Diandi's mother and son to be killed and burned. Even Bin Yuan, the hero who escorted Zhu Qizhen, lived alone with him when he was in Walla, and was tortured and exiled because he didn't want to misinterpret the law against his will. Improper measures have been taken to deal with the problem of Jingxiang refugees. A year after his death, there was a riot of Jingxiang refugees involving millions of people. It took the Ming government seven years, dispatched 250 thousand troops and spent countless money and food to suppress the popular uprising. I believed the lie that the leader of the Mongolian Tatar Department came to "change lanes and pay tribute", and the Hetao area fell, leading to a once-in-a-century "trap". Rongzong Jianzhou Jurchen grew stronger and stronger, opened Fushun Guanma Market, and raised tigers as trouble, leaving a legacy for future generations. In a word, Zhu Qizhen was not only the emperor with the worst character and political achievements in the Ming Dynasty, but also the "good man" boasted by Shi Ming.
As for the records after the restoration, he is by no means a loyal minister who beautifies and boasts of "enduring humiliation and taking revenge for Yu Qian".
Records of the Ming Dynasty: Li Xian
In fact, this Li Xian was very close to Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and others at the beginning of the restoration, and gave them many ideas, which probably killed Yu Qian together. At that time, Yang Xuan, a famous official, wrote the Restoration Record, according to Li Xian's own Tianshun Rilu, he thought so.
(Cao Jixiang) Always consult with a second bachelor. At that time, Xu Youzhen and Li Xian had been attracted by good luck and entered the cabinet to handle affairs. So, except Yu Qian, they all used a trick, (Li) to help them deal with Yin.
The sage said that he helped to show his true nature, and that there were few people who were loyal to the public, so he gave them public help and reformed. Look at this, what is detrimental to modesty is that sages don't ask for it, but what do they ask for?
At the beginning, every time Heng came to the cabinet for deliberation, he wanted the cabinet to do it according to his own will. Is loyalty insatiable? I am eager to recommend Wu and Bi, and the sages are attached to the grass of Heng generation. It can be seen that the beginning of auspiciousness and constancy is similar to that of Zhen and sages. -Yang Mingxuan "Restoration Record"
It turns out that during the Jingtai period, Li Xian was a doctor in the official department. When the official assistant minister was vacant, he wanted to be promoted to this position, but he was transferred to the Ministry of War as an assistant minister. Xiang once served as assistant minister of the Ministry of War and assistant minister of the official department.
In the Ming Dynasty, the official department was always the first of the six departments, higher than other departments. Yu Qian, the minister of the Ministry of War, is the actual prime minister, which is very special because of his high social achievements and great reputation. Emperor Jingtai of Ming Daizong also attaches great importance to him. )
Therefore, officials in the official department can rarely be promoted directly, and must be transferred to other departments first; Assistant ministers and ministers in the official department also need to be transferred from other departments, and similar situations have always been common.
I think that assistant minister Xiang of the Ministry of War is Yu Qian's direct line, which blocks his path of Qingyun, so I am jealous of them. In his Tian Shun Ri Lu, he repeatedly said that he was a party's modesty, and even accused Yao of having a homosexual relationship, saying that Yao was Yu Qian's concubine.
At that time, Xiang was regarded as Yu Qian's concubine and did not laugh at him. When each dynasty is to be vented, Wen Yao will be attached with humble ears, regardless of the left and right, and so will the retreat, all in the official department. -Li Xian's "Tianshun Rilu"
After the change of seizing the door, Li Xian took the opportunity to instruct his cronies to give something to him, impeached him as a member of "Yu Qian traitor party", and charged him with "knowing that Yu Qian's rebellion will be punished by law" to avenge himself. Yao excused himself, saying, "I am humble and disobedient, but I really don't know. It is also a crime to beg." He decisively drew a line with Yu Qian, so Zhu Qizhen spared his life and sentenced him to exile.
Li Xianben was promoted as an important official of the imperial court because of the kindness of Zhu Qiyu, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, when he met him. However, he boasted in "Tianshun Rilu" that Zhu Qizhen was "orthodox for fourteen years, and he did not lose his virtue in office, which led to a popular rebellion. When he returned to Nancheng, people all over the world longed for him. " At the same time, he poured sewage on Zhu Qiyu, writing him into a wasteland.
Even historians can't help laughing at Li Xian's ingratitude for Ming Daizong, and his misdeeds of "suppressing Ye Sheng, squeezing Zheng Yue, not saving Lauren", rejecting dissidents and persecuting Zhongliang. Li Xianlian did the same to Ye Sheng, Yue Zheng, Lauren, etc. What's more, when the emperor Zhu Qizhen tried to kill him, he hated her teeth and vilified Yu Qian.
However, Langbu knew Jingdi and surpassed Assistant Lang Zhuo. The book said that Jingdi was dissolute, restrained and squeezed, and did not save Lauren, especially the world.
The iron historical facts, which really gave up the bright future and defended Yu Qian's case, were by no means the prosperous Li Xian after the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, but the cabinet minister Shang Lu who offended Zhu Qizhen and was imprisoned by him, and was later dismissed from office leniently.
A few years after Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen acceded to the throne, he recalled Shang Lu as the cabinet record, rehabilitated Yu Qian, pardoned his relatives, and gave him kindness. At the urging of Shang Lu, he recovered Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu and rebuilt the mausoleum with the gift of the emperor.
Zhu Jianshen, as a human being, can't clearly say in his letter that his father was wrong, how to bite the hand that feeds him, and how to kill Zhong Liang unjustly. That's why he lied that "he was jealous of treacherous court officials, and his waste was known to the previous dynasty, and I really pity his loyalty." Is Yu Qian's life story known only to Zhu Qizhen and his son, but to everyone? If you really follow Shi Ming's statement, you think it is "Zhu Qizhen confessed his son to rehabilitate himself", but in fact it is a great record in the world.
Ming Xianzong: Zhu Jianshen.
Ming Xianzong and Zhu Jianshen are not only honest and wise, but also rehabilitated and humble, pursuing Emperor Ming Daizong, and their achievements and sandwiches are far from comparable to Zhu Qizhen's:
It was he who put down the great unrest of millions of refugees in Jingxiang caused by Zhu Qizhen; It was he who conquered the Nuzhen of Jianzhou, plowed the land, captured six ancestors of Nuerhachi and Dongshan, the chief of Jianzhou, etc. 1700 people, burned down 400 villages, and released thousands of Han slaves who were plundered by him. It was he who reused the famous minister Wang Yue and went out to attack Mongolia many times. Even the legendary Queen Man Haidu, the Regent of Zhongxing Mongolia, died in a surprise attack by the Ming army. It was he who recalled the escort hero Bin Yuan exiled by Zhu Qizhen, took charge of the Royal Guards, and ended the spy rule during the Restoration of Zhu Qizhen ... However, in Shi Ming, these were not mentioned. He just criticized Zhu Jianshen for being ignorant and infatuated with Wan Guifei, a generation older than himself. Therefore, in the real history, it is clearly the monarch of Zhongxing Daming, but it has become the favorite traitor, eunuch and traitor in the impression of many readers, making the court and harem black.
