(1May 39813 ─1February 457 16), Han nationality. The word Tingyi, a native of Qiantang, Zhejiang, was a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty and a national hero. At the age of seven, a monk was surprised by his appearance and said, "This is the prime minister who will save the world in the future." In the 19th year of Yongle, Yu Qian was admitted to the Jinshi Examination.
In the early years of Xuande, Yu Qian was appointed as the censor. When playing correctly, the voice is loud and the language is fluent, which makes the emperor listen attentively. Gu Zuo was appointed as an imperial envoy and was very strict with his subordinates. Only when he is modest and polite does he think that his talent is better than himself. When Hu Cong was stationed in Le 'an, Gao Xu came out to surrender, and the emperor asked Yu Qian to dictate the crime. Yu Qianyi is strict in words and expressive in expression. He fell to the ground with high fever and fought for protection, claiming that he deserved to die. The emperor was very happy. The team returned to Beijing and gave Yu Qian the same reward as the ministers.
Yu Qian toured Jiangxi to avenge hundreds of wronged prisoners. He went to the official school in Shaanxi to harass the people and issued letters to arrest them. The emperor knew that Yu Qian could shoulder the heavy responsibility. At that time, he was preparing to add the right assistant minister of various ministries as the provincial governor, so he personally wrote down Yu Qian's name and gave it to the official department, and was promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of Henan and Shanxi. After Yu Qian took office, Qingqi bypassed the area under his jurisdiction, visited his elders, inspected all the things that should be set up or renovated at that time, and immediately put forward them. Several times a year, if there is a slight flood or drought, report it immediately.
During the orthodox years, eunuch Wang Zhen was autocratic and took bribes without scruple. Hundreds of officials rushed to offer money for flattery. During the court meeting, those who go to see Wang Zhen must give one hundred and twenty pieces of silver; If you can offer 1,200 pieces of silver, you can only serve food and wine and go home drunk. Moreover, Yu Qian didn't bring any gifts every time he went to Beijing to play. Someone advised him: "If you can't send gold and silver treasures, can't you bring some local products?" Yu Qian smiled smartly, shook his sleeves and said, "Only the breeze." I also specially wrote the poem "Going to Beijing" to show my ambition:
Handkerchiefs, mushrooms and thread incense are harmful to people.
The wind blows on the sleeves, so as not to talk short!
