Yang Pu was very intelligent from an early age, and at the age of ten he was already familiar with poetry and could speak witty words. However, his ingenuity did not stop at the level of theory.
When his father was imprisoned because of a public case, he fearlessly went to the county government to avenge his father's grievances, showing Sun Quan's courage to meet Liu Biao in Jingzhou and get his father's body back.
Liu Biao's tolerance and remorse made Sun Quan famous in his youth, but in the county government of the Ming Dynasty, it was not a place for tongue-in-cheek. The county government is a product of feudal will and represents an extension of the will of the Son of Heaven.
Although the county officials held different official positions, they had absolute authority in a county. In the county government, noisy in the public court will be punished, flouting the law will be punished, disrespecting ** will even be arrested.
However, Yang Pu was only ten years old, but he looked calm and fearless when facing the county master. The county magistrate was attracted by his courage and wisdom and decided to test him.
How did the county order of the Ming Dynasty test students? Organising exams? Too much work and a waste of time. Brain teasers? It's too cliché and doesn't fit the style of the literati.
The county order decided to personally come up with the question, and came up with the "four mouths with the same picture, and the inner mouth is all under the outer mouth", challenging Yang Pu's pair.
If Yang Pu can make a good connection, he can save his father, and if he is not right, his father will be punished aggravated. Shanglian means that the county order has great power and governs all the people.
Without thinking, Yang Pu blurted out the following couplet "Five people share an umbrella, and the villain is all covered by adults", skillfully placing his position under the county order, and praising the county order as their umbrella.
The county magistrate was very satisfied and let Yang Pu's father go. From this story, we learn that cultured and stylish flattery is very useful.
A year ago, there was also a scholar from the folk named Yang Shiqi. Although he did not conduct scientific research, he was specially recruited by the emperor to compile historical books and work in the Hanlin Academy.
At that time, although he was working in the same unit, he did not know other colleagues. However, the arrangement of fate allowed them to meet and make friends in the future, and formed the strongest cabinet group in the history of the Ming Dynasty - Sanyang.
However, the current Yang Pu has no intention of making friends, he has his own way to go. In the short days of Jianwen's imperial court, Zhu Di, the king of Yan in Beiping City, led troops into Beijing, deposed Emperor Hui Zhu Yunwen, established himself as emperor, and changed the dynasty.
In the face of the subversion of the old dynasty, the literati were faced with a choice: some like Fang Xiaoru and Qi Tai chose to be loyal to the festival, and some like Xie Jin and Hu Guang chose to take refuge in the new dynasty.
Yang Pu did not hesitate to choose the latter, because he and Emperor Jianwen had no emotional foundation. Xie Jin is the first genius of the Ming Dynasty, and Hu Guang is the first place in the first class of Gengchen Kejinshi appointed by Emperor Jianwen.
Yang Pu was young and promising, and his ideals and ambitions made him reluctant to spend the rest of his life with an emotionless dynasty. In the early years of Yongle, he defected to Chengzu Zhu Di and was awarded the position of the crown prince to wash horses.
Many people may mistake the position of "washing horses" and think that it is just a manual work of washing horses, but in fact, "washing horses" is a subordinate of the prince, responsible for teaching, giving advice and other important duties.
Although Yang Pu, who was a staff member in Zhu Gaochi's mansion, did not have a close relationship with Zhu Gaochi, his evaluation of Zhang Shizhi deeply shocked Zhu Gaochi and understood Yang Pu's wisdom and foresight.
Yang Pu told Zhu Gaochi that the reason why Zhang Shizhi was able to enforce the law strictly was because the emperor at that time, Emperor Wen of Han, was benevolent and generous, and if the emperor was not virtuous, then no matter how good the courtiers were, they would not be able to play to their strengths.
Zhu Gaochi listened to Yang Pu's suggestion and deeply agreed, believing that although the staff in front of him had a humble status, he was definitely not an idle person.
He is Zhu Gaochi's confidant and his imperial young master. With his company, Zhu Gaochi strengthened his trust in Yang Pu. In Yang Pu's life, there are two people who are very important to him.
One of them was Zhu Gaochi, and they often talked all night and formed a deep friendship. However, Xie Jin's fate put them all in trouble. Zhu Gaochi was arrested by Zhu Di because he was a little late.
And Yang Pu was recognized by Zhu Di as a subordinate official of the Prince's Mansion, and he was also **. Yang Pu was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, which was a veritable human purgatory.
However, Yang Pu stayed in prison for ten years, but he endured it and did not succumb to torture and inhuman abuse.
He persevered, and his tenacity and perseverance became Zhu Gaochi's most precious wealth.
In the cell of the Ming Dynasty's imperial prison, there was only one thing in Yang Pu's life - a thick history book. He read tirelessly, ten years as a day, and even read through the scriptures and history many times.
In countless lonely and terrifying nights, he still kept his hands on the books, studied diligently, and looked forward to the arrival of the next dawn. Yang Pu's days in prison were undoubtedly confused.
He was born as a jinshi, but he never appeared on the political stage of the Ming Dynasty. He was an upright man, but he was imprisoned for a trivial incident and endured the pain of the world.
Although he was full of knowledge and strategies for governing the country and the country, it seemed that he was going to die alone in a deep prison.
Back then, his father was locked up in the county jail, and he, as a son, could stand up to save his father. But now, he is alone, and who can save him? As it turns out, history is not reversed.
If Zhu Di's life is long enough, Yang Pu may be imprisoned in the edict for the rest of his life. Then in the history books, "Three Yangs" may become "Two Yangs", and the record about Yang Pu may just be as an ordinary prince's staff.
Although there is no reversal of God, there is a limit to the lifespan of human beings. Zhu Di, the ancestor of Chengzu who had galloped on the battlefield and immediately competed for power, died of illness in 1424 AD, and his son Zhu Gaochi became the new master of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di passed away, and the emperor, who was keen on the battlefield, found a home on the battlefield. For him personally, it was undoubtedly a perfect ending. The death of the old emperor opened a new chapter in Yang Pu's life.
His turnaround finally came. Renzong Zhu Gaochi did not forget Yang Pu, who gave him advice when he got carried away. Only three days after ascending the throne, the emperor released Yang Pu.
He told me to be a magnanimous and good ruler, and now, I tell you, I have done it. Ten years of ups and downs, ten years of imprisonment, and now, Yang Pu has finally ushered in his own era.
Although Renzong Zhu Gaochi's physical condition was not ideal, so much so that he died only ten months after ascending the throne, he promoted Yang Pu to the head of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor's intentions were very clear, he wanted to leave a trustworthy person for his son, Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji.
Yang Pu was not the best choice, but Huang Huai and Xie Jin, who were once highly regarded by the emperor, had long since passed away, so Yang Pu became the only person that Emperor Renzong could trust.
Lord Yang, let's move forward with the belief that our monarchs and ministers know each other! Let's witness a better future for the Ming Dynasty together!
Although the new emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji did not have much affection for Yang Pu himself, he introduced two equally excellent colleagues to Yang Pu.
They are Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi.
In the past, they went their own way, but now they are together. At this moment, the strongest cabinet of the Ming Dynasty was officially formed. Emperor Xuanzong's reign was not long, but it was good enough. This decade is what I call the most glorious moment of the Ming Dynasty.
The country is prosperous inside and outside, and the world is peaceful. Such a situation, in addition to the emperor's wisdom and wisdom, is more due to the hard work of the "Three Yangs" in the cabinet.
Now, as Emperor Xuanzong's life is coming to an end, he has entrusted the future of the empire to his 9-year-old son, Zhu Qizhen.
If the Ming Dynasty was a fast-moving train, then Zhu Qizhen obviously couldn't drive it alone. The responsibility of assisting the emperor once again fell on the shoulders of "Sanyang". However, on the stage of history, there are already people who have come to the fore.
New talents come out in large numbers, each leading the best. The emperor grew up with their help, but they had exhausted the last strength of their lives. In 1440, Yang Rong died of illness.
In 1444, Yang Shiqi died of illness. Let's go, let's go, dust to dust, earth to earth, Ming Dynasty, you can only move forward by yourself. Now, only Yang Pu is still alive.
At this moment, beside Zhu Qizhen, a eunuch named Wang Zhen appeared.
Compared with Yang Pu, who was almost ancient, the emperor seemed to prefer this clever and eccentric little eunuch. Yang Pu is already old, and he is no longer the young and vigorous heroic young man who fights wits and courage with the county officials.
He was once the young master of the emperor, and he was fearless in guiding the Son of Heaven. He was imprisoned, and ten years in prison tempered his will. He was entrusted by the emperors of the two dynasties and became the core minister of the Ming Dynasty, and was deeply trusted.
He had been the guide of the young Ming Emperor and led him to the right path. Now, however, he was just a hunched old man who couldn't even breathe a word.
In the eleventh year of orthodoxy, in 1446 AD, Yang Pu died of illness at the age of seventy-five.
February** Dynamic Incentive Plan Yang Pu, the word Hongji, he is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, once walked to the political stage of the Ming Dynasty in the surging crowds, and now, his life has come to an end, becoming the most glorious stroke of the Ming Dynasty.
