A clean story

There was a famous national hero named Yu Qian in the Ming Dynasty. He was a senior official in the periods of Xuanzong, Yingzong and Jing Zong in Ming Dynasty. At that time, the officialdom was dark, and corruption and bribery became the norm. Yu Qian was convinced that he was "not afraid of death, but just wanted to remain innocent in the world." He is honest and clean, and has made great achievements in politics.

It is said that when Yu Qian was an assistant minister of the Ministry of War, he was once the governor of Henan. At that time, Wang Zhen, a North Korean eunuch, was autocratic, arrogant and corrupt, and did everything he could. When local officials go to Beijing or Beijing officials are sent back to Beijing, they will be presented with tributes, gold, silver and jewelry. Otherwise, they will be criticized, attacked and rejected. Yu Qian has long been very disgusted with Wang Zhen's illegal behavior. When he returned to Beijing this time, he was privately advised to bring some local products such as silk handkerchief, sliced mushrooms and string incense? Give it to those dignitaries as a personal favor. Yu Qian smiled at Hahahaha's words, then spread out the paper and wrote a poem:

Silk, handkerchiefs, shavings, mushrooms and thread incense are harmful to people;

The wind blows the sleeves to the sky, so as not to talk short.
