Now get down to business, as we all know, during the period of Ming Yingzong and Zhu Qizhen, there was a eunuch named Wang Zhen, who was very overbearing and arrogant. And this Ming Yingzong is incompetent and trusts him very much. At this time, the leaders of Walla led the army to invade the south first, and the emergency documents at the front line continued to spread to Beijing. This Wang Zhen encouraged Zhu Qizhen to make a personal expedition, and this Zhu Qizhen went to war with this eunuch without thinking. However, this Wang Zhen is a good tactician, but he is a leading vegetable chicken, so he was first taken to a place called Civil Fort by the army. Also lost his life in this war, and Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen became the first prisoner. The news that the emperor was captured reached Beijing and shocked the whole country.
At this time, I also seized the opportunity to blackmail the Ming Dynasty. When I confronted the Ming army, I pulled Zhu Qizhen out and put him in the front. The generals of the Ming army can only kneel. The Queen Mother and others secretly kept many treasures and sent them to the camp first, hoping to redeem Ming Yingzong. Unfortunately, Xian's appetite is too big to satisfy him.
In Beijing, it's a mess at the moment. Some ministers even suggested moving south. At this time, Yu Qian, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and parted the crowd, stating that moving south was likely to lose the northern territory like the Song Dynasty, so he advocated a bloody battle to the end. His words woke everyone up, and everyone stood on Yu Qian's side.
So Yu Qian suggested that instead of being bullied by Ming Yingzong as a bargaining chip, it is better to make Zhu Qiyu emperor first. After all, a country cannot live without a king for a day. He resisted great pressure and asked the queen mother to re-establish a new emperor, which also laid the groundwork for his later tragedy.
So on September 6th of this year, Zhu Qiyu began to reign. Yu Qian is also ready to do or die with him first. The decisive battle soon arrived, and Yu Qian took the lead in standing at the gate of Beijing, which greatly encouraged the morale of the army. This world-famous defense of the Ming Dynasty also ended in the victory of the Ming army. At this time, I saw that the new emperor already had it, but Zhu Qizhen became a hot potato in his hand. Sending him back might alienate them. So Ming Yingzong sent Zhu Qizhen to Beijing again.
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, and Zhu Qiyu regards Zhu Qizhen as the emperor's father, he is unlikely to want to be superior again. Zhu Qiyu put him under house arrest without any freedom.
So a few years later, Zhu Qiyu was very ill. Zhu Qizhen, who was in prison, felt that his opportunity had come, which coincided with some ministers who had been frustrated during the Zhu Qiyu period. Then a palace coup broke out and Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne again.
Zhu Qizhen, who ascended the throne again, began a great liquidation, with Yu Qian bearing the brunt. As an emperor, he cannot forget the humiliation he suffered when he was captured, nor can he tolerate Yu Qian's betrayal. Ministers headed by Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen accused Yu Qian of treason, so Yu Qian was executed.
Ming Yingzong doesn't know Yu Qian's original intention is to defend the country? Doesn't he know that Yu Qian is dedicated to the public and has to do it? As an emperor, he knows everything. However, his dignity is inviolable. Once the power of the son of heaven is gone, he can no longer be an emperor. How can he be awesome? When one Yu Qian dies, you can find the second Yu Qian, but you can't lose the position of emperor again. So in order to defend your majesty, Yu Qian must die, and he won't regret it!
Fortunately, Zhu Jianshen, the Emperor of Chenghua, later resumed all his duties before his death, and changed his former residence into a "loyalty and righteousness festival temple", which was later blocked and Yu Qian was cleared. And our descendants will always remember this upright and upright hero!
