The weather was gloomy, and the sky was filled with thick, low, gray-yellow turbid clouds.
The northeast wind roars and runs wildly in the wilderness. It seems to be holding a sharp sword that can pierce the skin and cause excruciating pain.
A knight was not afraid of the cold and walked with the wind. His exposed skin was a little dry and cracked.
He entered Beijing and brought news of Yu Qian's death.
On the occasion of the new year.
The emperor's teacher Yu Qian passed away.
Whether it was officials whose political views were close to Yu Qian's or those who disagreed with Yu Qian's political views, they were all silent at this moment...
No one thought that Yu Qian would die before His Majesty's southern tour.
When Li Xian, the chief minister of the cabinet, heard the news, he was extremely sad. In fact, in the past few years since Yu Qian left the court, Li Xian never wrote a letter to Yu Qian in order to prevent his majesty from doubting him. Now he heard the bad news , both sad and regretful...
Shocked by the bad news, Han Yong said sadly and angrily: "Once Yu Taibao is gone, it will be rare for the Ming Dynasty to have such a hero in a century..."
And Han Yong wrote the eulogy in his own hand: Loyal and righteous, competing with the sun and the moon, strong and bright, talented and economical, possessing both civil and military skills, eloquent voice, and long-standing virtues. Recommend the ceremony to comfort the ancestors.
Of course, Xu Youzhen was the most uncomfortable, both emotionally and politically.
His Majesty is on his southern tour. At this juncture, Yu Taibao passed away, and I always feel a little bad. However, Xu Youzhen, the teacher given to your majesty by the supervisor of the southern tour, arranged more seats than Li Xian, himself, and even a group of important ministers. Your Majesty's southern tour, The brochures for visiting the Imperial Master have all been printed, and the transfer machines have to be divided...
Xu Youzhen and Yu Qian have completely different political philosophies. One puts the people before the emperor, and the other puts the emperor before all things.
Even though the two people were not on the same path at all, Xu Youzhen still couldn't deny that she admired Yu Qian from the bottom of her heart.
The news soon spread among the people in Beijing.
Some people with relatively good family conditions also set up mourning halls for Yu Qian at home to pay their respects.
As the emperor who had already mastered the highest power in the empire, the young man who no longer needed Yu Qian's protection, an iron-blooded monarch who was later known as the expert in the subjugation of the country and his clan in the fifteenth century, after learning of Yu Qian's death, the history books recorded that Simple, just a few numbers can describe the emperor's grief at that time...
The emperor cried and almost fainted......
Zhu Jianshen issued an order to suspend the court for three days and asked the Minister of Rites to go to Qiantang to properly arrange Yu Qian's affairs after his death.
On the second day, Zhu Jianshen issued an edict, posthumously conferring Yu Qian the title of Taishi, and his son Yu Mian the title of Marquis of Zhongxin. Lianzhong Temple was built in Henan, Shanxi, Jiangxi and other places where Yu Qian had served, and was set up in Yu Qian's hometown. Zhongjie Archway, Zhongwu Temple...
On the third day, under the leadership of Xu Youzhen, the Ministry of Rites conferred a posthumous title on Yu Qian, Wen Zheng...

Wenzheng is also the highest posthumous title for civil servants. In Chinese history, there were thirty people in total. So far in the Ming Dynasty, only one Fang Xiaoru has been given the posthumous title of Wenzheng...
Zhu Jian deeply agreed.
On the fourth day, the Ministry of Rites issued a memorial ceremony and announced it to the world...
On the fifth day, the palace had another decree...
Yu Qiankuang helped the country, made great contributions to the world, and became the emperor's teacher. He worked tirelessly for many years and was allowed to enjoy the temple of Emperor Taizu Gao and live in the main hall. He ranked among the kings of Wuning in Zhongshan, Xu Da, and after Chang Yuchun, King Zhongwu in Kaiping, Li Wenzhong, King Wujing in Qiyang. , Deng Yu, the king of Wushun in Ninghe, Tanghe, the king of Wuxiang in Dongou, and Muying, the king of Zhaojing in Qianning.
After this decree came down, the officials did not understand it to some extent, and it was not in line with etiquette.
Because these people in the main hall of Taizu Temple are all heroes in the founding of the country, and they are all posthumous titles and good brothers of Emperor Taizu Gao. Yu Qian was not a minister of Taizu during the Hongwu Dynasty. He went to Taizu Pei Temple. It seems a bit nondescript.
Moreover, according to normal rules, His Majesty currently does not have the power to make decisions for Emperor Taizu Gao...
Yu Qian can enjoy offering incense in the auxiliary temple of Emperor Taizong Wen, or he can worship in the auxiliary temple of Emperor Renzong, Emperor Xuanzong, Emperor Taishang, or the auxiliary temple after the current majesty. This is all understandable, but Yu Qian is a contribution to the world, not to the founding of the country. In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know him either. He was ranked in the Taizu Temple, so it was a bit awkward after meeting each other.
But Zhu Jianshen's will was not discussed with the officials. Even if the officials made some suggestions, Zhu Jianshen ignored them...
Zhu Jianshen knew that it was inappropriate, so he did this specifically to highlight Yu Qian's status in his heart and highlight his contributions. He also wanted to add a legendary color to Yu Qian in the future, so that in future generations, there would be no drama with a male protagonist. The arrangements for Yu Qian made many people mention Yu Qian and think of perming their hair...
...When news of Yu Qian's death reached the capital, the government and the public were in an uproar. The emperor cried and almost fainted...
It's quiet at night.
The originally closed gate of the Forbidden City was opened.
A large number of royal guards walked out of the palace gate, followed by Zhao Huanong and Gao Yi on the left and right of a carriage.
It was also proved that the person sitting in the carriage was His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Jianshen sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
The motorcade left the palace and first arrived at the residence given to Yu Qian by the emperor. Zhu Jianshen did not get out of the car and the motorcade continued to set off.
Half an hour later, Zhu Jianshen took a carriage to Yu Qian's old house, a small dilapidated house.
This time Zhu Jianshen got off the carriage and walked slowly into the yard.
Only Gao Yi and Zhao Huanong followed in, and the other Jinyi guards were guarding around the courtyard.
This small house has long been deserted. After Zhu Jianshen entered, he carefully inspected everything that belonged to it. Then Zhu Jianshen carried the cloth and walked into the small study room where Yu Qian was alive. The bookshelf, chairs, and tables were still there. Yes, but the books are gone and the people are gone...
Things are different and people are different. Everything comes to an end. If you want to speak, tears will come first...
Zhu Jianshen sighed softly.
Gao Yi, who had been following Zhu Jianshen, quickly took out his handkerchief and wiped away all the dust on the chair...
"Your Majesty, please sit down for a while..."
"You guys go down first, I'll be alone for a while..."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Huanong and Gao Yi said in unison, and then they exited the study one after another.
Wait until two people go down.
Zhu Jianshen sat on the chair, placed his hands on the case in front of him, and was silent for a long time...
Gao Yi and Zhao Huanong have been standing guard outside the door, not daring to take a breath...
