Yu Qian (1398— 1457), born in Qiantang, Zhejiang (now Hangzhou), was a famous minister and national hero in the Ming Dynasty. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, he was a scholar who traveled in Jiangxi and served as the governor of Henan and Shanxi, with outstanding achievements. In the 14th year of Orthodox Church (1449), it invaded the Wara Department of Mongolia, which led to civil strife, Ming Yingzong was captured and the Ming Dynasty was in danger. Yu Qian, the minister of the Ministry of War, put forward the idea that "the country is more important than the monarch", which prevented him from moving south. He personally commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, defended the famous Beijing in history, repelled Walla, saved the day, and wrote a heroic and brilliant page in the history of China. Yu Qian added the protection of Shaozuo and served as the military affairs governor. It is not normal for such a person to try his best to find fault with him. Only such an excellent person was finally killed by a traitor. After his death, his family was surrounded by friends, and he could only complete the afterlife. What reason do you have to deny such a person? He should have ability and character. If it weren't for the bright sun that appeared decades later, Yu Qian deserved to be the first person in the Ming Dynasty. Since history cannot be changed, he can only make our beloved Yu Qian retreat to the second place.
Some people say that China's complete set of twenty-four histories is full of intrigue, showing the darkest side of human nature everywhere for power and throne. I don't object to this, but we should also see the brightest side of human nature. Can you believe it? So for example, this example has something to do with Yu Qian. When Vasi led an army to attack Beijing for the first time, the ministers were divided into two factions. Those who want to stick to the capital and those who advocate moving the capital. At that time, two influential people advocated moving the capital, but what they did later can represent two aspects of human nature. The first one, Xu Shizhen, later joined hands with the other two to take responsibility for his personal desire and pursuit of power. In the end, Yu Qian died unjustly, representing the dark side of human nature. The other one is Li Xian. Although his relationship with Yu Qian is not very good, he even earned a red face and a thick neck because of different political views, but he admires Yu Qian's character, especially standing on the upstairs gate and commanding the defeated soldiers to repel the fragile body of tens of thousands of troops with fierce tiles. At that moment, he was deeply shocked. He knows that this person is the patron saint of Daming. It is this era that propped up Daming's building, so when Yu Qian was killed a few years later, almost everyone forgot the events of a few years ago, but Li Xian will never forget that in that dark era, Li Xian was bright, and this bright energy source was Yu Qian. Although we are not friends, although we are political enemies, I have never forgotten the shock brought by thin back, and your grievances have been ignored. Even if I give up everything, Li Xian will avenge you.
Anyway, let's keep talking about Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren's name is Yangming. He is not only very powerful personally, but also has a powerful father. His father, Wang Hua, was once the top scholar, and later he became an official in Nanjing. He is such a powerful father, but he was powerless when he faced Wang Shouren in his youth. Our top scholar Wang hopes Xiao can take the imperial examination and enter the officialdom like him, but Xiao seems not satisfied with the life planned by his father. That's because Wang Shouren doesn't like classical music, but likes to dance with knives and guns. In desperation, the champion Wang planned to take it out to see the world, so he took it to Yanmenguan, intending to show him the hard environment beyond the Great Wall. After returning home, I hope he can give up his previous ideas, study hard and take the imperial examination. Unexpectedly, a few days later, Wang Shouren told his father that if I were allowed to lead tens of thousands of troops, the remnants of Mongolia would be defeated, which made Wang Zhuangyuan very angry. He picked up a book and typed it out. A few days later, Wang Shouren came again. The first thing he said was that my father was wrong. Wang Zhuangyuan listened to a smile and said that it is good to know your mistakes. Go back and study hard, at least you have to take the exam like me. However, Wang Zhuangyuan couldn't laugh at his next words. Wang Shouren said that I had a new goal, and I wanted to be a saint, which almost made Wang Zhuangyuan angry. What is the most difficult achievement in the world? I think it's a saint. There is no shortage of politicians and great names in all previous dynasties. We can name many strategists and politicians, but only a few sages.
Wang Shouren's era was full of geniuses and strong men. Can you believe it? Tang Yin, the most familiar person, is used to be called Tang Bohu by later generations. This weight is enough. If Tang Yin is just a genius, a famous wit, then another one you may not be familiar with, whether a genius or a scholar, is not weaker than Tang Yin, but the popularity of later generations is much worse. For more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, there were countless people who were well-read and versatile, but to choose a few representatives, we must rely on the three great talents recognized by the Ming Dynasty. The first representative was Jie Jin in Yongle period, who was the editor-in-chief of the famous Yongle Grand Ceremony. As an encyclopedia of that era, you can imagine what the editor-in-chief needed. The second is the contemporary Yang Shen in Wang Shouren, which represents the World Expo. The third is ivy, and Qi Baishi later said that it was originally a running dog of ivy. Its name is Xu Wei, also called Xu Wenchang, which stands for versatility. People can write calligraphy, painting, poetry and so on, but Sun Tzu's art of war is the best. Besides, Yang Shen was no worse than Wang Shouren at that time. Wang Shouren's father was the top scholar, and later went to the official department of Nanjing. Yang Shen's father took part in the imperial examination, and he was at least one of the top ten in China. The most important thing is that people become officials, the cabinet records, and the three dynasties will not fail. Finally, Wang Shouren retired and had her own love affair. My dad can't compete with others, so I have to do it myself. Later, Wang Shouren may feel sorry for Wang Zhuangyuan, so he decided to take the Jinshi exam. Genius is not built, and I took the exam twice. But that Yang Shen is a top scholar in Yang and a top scholar in Rainbow, or in the case that his father is a cabinet college student, you should think this is gross. No, not at all, because at that time people thought that the champion of Yang Shen should be. If Yang Shen doesn't have a champion, then. But whether it is genius or talent, before you become a strong person, any talent may be killed by the strong person. Just like Tang Yin, he could have been the No.1 scholar in the Tang Dynasty, but just because he said something he shouldn't have said, he erased it all his life and went crazy all his life.
Wang Shouren, who was admitted to Jinshi, did not forget his thought of sanctification. After the struggle of officialdom, Wang Shouren came to Longchang, a place where talented people came forth in large numbers, where Wang Shouren had an epiphany, and realized that Wang Shouren, who was "one of knowing and doing", not only became the most intelligent person of that era, but also got a name-Wang Shengren. In the following decades, with his "one of knowing and doing",
Whether he rebelled against his father when he was young, fled after offending the powerful minister when he was young, realized the truth in Longchang when he was middle-aged, and even was forced to retire and write books when he was old, Wang Shengren's insistence on truth was inseparable. Even after his death, Wang Men's disciples have always regarded upholding the truth as their lifelong creed.
