3.97

于謙 每入京。未甞持土物送餽。汴人誦曰。手怕蘑菰與線香。本資民用反為殃。清風兩袖朝天去。免得閭閻話短長。

Whenever Yu Qian entered the capital, he never brought local products as gifts. The people of Bian chanted:
"Hands dread mushrooms and thread incense;
Meant to supply the people's needs, they turn into a plague.
With clean breezes in both sleeves, he goes to pay court to Heaven,
Spared from having his deeds talked over in the village lanes."
