Qiantang, Yu Qian’s old residence.
A large number of soldiers and government officials stood outside the house to maintain order.
After hearing the news of Yu Qian's death, the people of Qiantang spontaneously came to mourn with tens of thousands of people. When there were so many people, the county magistrate of Qiantang was afraid that something would happen, so he urgently reported it to the Hangzhou Prefecture, and the Hangzhou Prefectural Government transferred thousands of people to pay their respects. The soldiers cooperated with the government officials in Qiantang to stabilize order, because in the next few days, many important people will come.
The magistrate of Hangzhou, the chief envoy of Zhejiang, four of the six ministers of Nanjing, Xu Chengzong, Duke of Wei, and Cao Jixiang also came to Qiantang County...
Some of these officials and dignitaries came because of their admiration for Qian, and some just saw the attitude of the court...
What happened after Yu Qian's death is no longer something that the Yu family can control. He has become the face of the imperial court and the pride of Qiantang, Hangzhou. Where is he buried? Yu Qian's son Yu Mian is speechless. What, do you want Yu Taibao to be buried there? Where is your ancestral grave? No, it won't work. I, Lord Wen Zheng of the Ming Dynasty, and Grand Master Yu in Qiantang County are worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple. Your ancestral grave is somewhat unworthy. Please change it to another ancestral grave.
There are many plans, the first one is to bury Taibao in Shushan in Qiantang...
The second one is buried on the bank of Qiantang River, and the third one is at West Lake in Hangzhou...
Because Grandpa Yue Feiyue is buried beside the West Lake, many officials believe that the West Lake is the most suitable choice.
After the Minister of Rites came from the capital to report to the emperor, he quickly got approval and finally decided to take Yu Qian's coffin to the West Lake in Hangzhou for burial. The coffin was first placed in the Yingwu Temple and buried after the tomb was repaired.
Because Yu Qian himself was a frugal person, the tomb was kept simple and he would be buried years ago.
After finalizing the plan, the court encountered another problem.
Yu Qian's coffin couldn't be transported out of Qiantang County...
After the news leaked out, the people in Qiantang County refused to agree. They blocked the road on their own and refused to let the officers and soldiers escorting the coffin pass.
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and asked the court to change its mind and place Yu Qian in Qiantang nearby, where Yu Taibao was born and grew up. They also did not allow officials in the court to use the excuse of burying Yu Qian in exchange for credit.
To put it bluntly, these people just didn't want the court to torment Yu Qian anymore.
Fallen leaves return to their roots, where they are born, they must end up there.
Even though the government officials kept saying that Grandpa Yue was buried by the West Lake and asked Taibao Yu to go there so that he could be his companion, the people still disagreed.
In particular, the representative of the Yu family said, "Grandpa Yue has been loyal and brave throughout the ages. We admire him from the bottom of our hearts and never dare to be disrespectful. However, Grandpa Yue died tragically in Fengbo Pavilion. He was killed by an adulterer and his body was secretly collected. Then it moved to West Lake.
But Yu Taibao died at the end of his life, and he was still in his hometown. The people in his hometown would never allow others to pull Yu Qian's body out of his hometown, and let the fallen leaves return to their roots. This is also true when it comes to Fengtian Palace.
On the first day of departure, two thousand people came and sat on the road. When they saw the motorcade coming, they all stood up and blocked the road. Although the people in front were all bare-handed, they could not The people behind are all doing things with their hands.
They have to fight.
No matter how the officials or even the soldiers holding knives reprimanded them, they refused to leave. Some angry young men even took the lead in provocation and threw stones at the officials and soldiers in front of them.
The first escort also stopped because of this.
The officials thought that there were many of them and the court had millions of soldiers. They wanted to drag Yu Qian's body to the West Lake for burial. Who could stop him.
After that, the government quickly dispatched soldiers and increased the number of 200 people escorting Yu Qian's body to 3,000. Just like a march, there were 300 cavalry in front, with flags flying, which was very spectacular. The original intention was to use the cavalry to frighten the unruly people.
Just when the officials were thinking that the matter was done, they were dumbfounded again. This time more than 40,000 people came. There were only 40,000 households in the entire Qiantang County. There were 250,000 people. A total of 40,000 people came. It can be said that every person came. Every household has a strong spirit.
This has put the officials in a difficult position. They have informed the court and His Majesty has given permission. However, if Yu Taibao cannot be buried in Hangzhou West Lake as scheduled, then wouldn't all these officials be deceiving the emperor?
But the timid people did not listen to the soldiers. The soldiers had drawn their swords, but they still dared to jump up.
These officials did not dare to cause any major disturbances because of Yu Qian's incident, and it would be even more serious if it provoked a popular uprising.
Heroes are buried in the West Lake, and heroes achieve each other's achievements. What a wonderful thing. Why can't these unscrupulous people figure it out...
Things in this world are not so absolute.
People in the government believed that Yu Qian was buried in the West Lake to give Yu Taibao a greater honor. They thought that Yue Wumu's reputation would be passed down through the ages, so Yu Qian was buried in the West Lake. This is the name for everything Yu Taibao fights for...
But the people of Qiantang are thinking that when Yu Qian was alive, he protected the Ming Dynasty and the people. After his death, we must protect him once, just for the last time... BIquGe.biz
The New Year is approaching, but there is no New Year atmosphere in Qiantang. All the people did not celebrate the New Year, but wanted to stop the court. The government pulled Yu Qian’s body out of Qiantang County and his hometown...
In response to this matter, the government and the people of Qiantang battled wits and courage. Thirty-six strategies were almost used. For example, the golden cicada escaped from its shell and almost succeeded. However, there were twenty or five yamen in charge of the matter and leaked to the people that the government wanted to secretly transport the body. , if it weren’t for the fact that there were two or five officials from the government among the common people, Yu Qian’s body would have been almost snatched away...
They came and went, winning and losing, but no matter what, Yu Qian's body could never leave Qiantang County...
In the end, the Minister of Rites could only report the matter to the emperor.
After Zhu Jianshen read it, he felt that he had not thought it through well. His mood was not high, and he urgently wanted the teacher to be buried as soon as possible, so he wanted to take a step back and let the teacher be buried nearby.
After the shrewd Xu Youzhen learned about it, she immediately gave the emperor an idea.
The tomb built at West Lake in Hangzhou was the Yu Taibao Clothing Tomb, and Yu Taibao's body was buried on the bank of the Qiantang River. This not only met the needs of the court, but also took care of the feelings of the people.
Zhu Jianshen adopted Xu Youzhen's suggestion and finally settled the matter on Yu Qian's burial place before the New Year...
This major incident also brought an end to Yu Qian's life.
The Qiantang County Chronicle also has a detailed record of this incident. This was the first time during the feudal dynasty that the people won a complete victory in the confrontation with the government and the court. Because it was his first time, it also added to Yu Qian's reputation. Many legendary colors...
he's gone……
Left this world......
Really left this world......
Don't be afraid of being shattered into pieces, you must leave your innocence in this world...
(Lao Li respectfully sent him to Shaobao. He was not afraid of being shattered into pieces. He wanted to leave his innocence in the world... Destined to guide generations of confused descendants. It is the pride of our nation and the eternal continuation of our nation's nobility... Thank you very much... ...)
