Shang Chen, a remarkable figure born in 1413 A.D. in Chun'an, Zhejiang.

He is not only 1.8 meters tall, majestic, dignified, with red lips and white teeth, handsome appearance, and excellent academic performance, and has won the first place in the township examination, the general examination and the palace examination in succession.

Shang Lu was the only person in this dynasty who was connected to the three yuan in the nearly 200 years from the founding of Taizu to the martyrdom of Emperor Sizong, and the other was Huang Guan, the winner of the three yuan in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, but was removed from the list because he was unwilling to submit to the Yongle Emperor and committed suicide.

From this point of view, Shang Qi became the only "three yuan" of the Ming Dynasty. This title is not easy to earn. The imperial court held him very seriously and appointed him as the editor of the Hanlin Academy.

This is a bit awkward for businessmen. After years of hard work, he finally stood out in the imperial examination and was selected by the imperial court as a jinshi.

However, although he had achieved an important goal in life, he was assigned to the Hanlin Academy as a scholar, compiler, and lecturer, and his work was usually to read books and revise history books.

This made Shang Zhen wonder, he studied to become an official and realize his ideals and ambitions, why was he assigned to a position that required him to continue studying?

Although the dignitaries and nobles in the imperial court did not attach great importance to business, Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong had extremely high expectations for him. Shang was a burly man, and the emperor personally selected him as the exhibition officer.

So, what does a scrivener mean? Quite simply, Shang Lu opened the book for the emperor while he was studying. As an emperor, his status is extremely noble, but the author believes that in addition to going to the toilet and **, other things can be done by others.

Therefore, the emperor naturally had someone to help when he read and turn the pages. If Shang Chen can turn the book for the emperor, it is possible to talk to the emperor and impress the emperor, so as to achieve success in his career.

However, it is a pity that Shang Zhen only read the book for the emperor for two days, and the emperor sent troops to fight. This war is the "Battle of Tumubao" in the history of the Ming Dynasty, although it is only a five-character name, but it is full of historical stories.

The young Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was defeated by the Wara cavalry at Tumu Fort because of his favor in the eunuchs and the rash advance of the enemy, and he was captured, and the whole army suffered heavy losses. For the sake of the stability of the Ming Dynasty, his younger brother Zhu Qiyu was elected as the new emperor.

Later, Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, successfully fought a battle to defend Beijing, and Ming Yingzong was released, but he was placed under house arrest by his younger brother in the South Palace of the Forbidden City. Eight years later, Emperor Daizong became seriously ill, and Yingzong staged another mutiny and reascended the throne.

Although Zhu Qizhen lacked leadership qualities and great qualities, his life was full of drama among the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

He was once the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, enjoying the supreme glory, but he was also captured by the Warats and endured the wind, sand and bitter cold outside the fortress.

After many twists and turns, he finally returned to the Forbidden City again, but was locked up in a gloomy abode by his younger brother and became a prisoner of politics. History has given him happiness and glory, but it has also taught him a painful lesson.

His hubris and ignorance led to the loss of the throne, and now, he has finally regained his rightful power. Ming Yingzong's re-enthronement is inseparable from the efforts of Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang.

Discussion: Scholar or outlier? Originally, as the number one contributor to the emperor's restoration, Shang Lu was entrusted with an important task, but the emperor needed more people to expand the personnel team, so Shang Lu entered the emperor's sight.

However, the triumvirate of Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, and Cao Jixiang were opposed to Shang Chen, believing that he was an outlier who was honest and incorruptible, and was not suitable to join the cabinet.

After the daily attacks of the Big Three, the emperor was **, and Shang did not get the opportunity for promotion and salary increase, but was cut off from his official position and demoted to a commoner.

Shang's life has also been up and down because of this, he was once a champion, but now he has become a flat-headed commoner. But history has a temperature, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen looked down on Shang Chen, but his son Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen looked at Shang Zhen differently.

After Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, he immediately invited Shang Zhen to come back, but Shang Zhen said that he was old and had been dismissed by the previous emperor, and he was resentful. Zhu Jianshen did not give up, and invited Shang Shi many times, and finally Shang Shi was moved by his perseverance and went out of the mountain again.

When Shang entered the office, he faced a new opponent - Wang Zhi, who was one of the founders of the famous Ming Dynasty spy agencies Jinyiwei, East Factory, and West Factory. In order to strengthen the strength of the spy agency, Zhu Jianshen added the West Factory, which made the Ming Dynasty change.

During the Ming Dynasty, the more suspicious the emperor was, the more developed the spy organization became. Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Xichang are all extensions of imperial power, above the law, and domineering.

And Wang Zhi, the leader of the West Factory, is a symbol of this power, and his power even exceeds that of Jinyiwei. However, Wang Zhi was unjust, abused torture, and treated ministers with impunity.

Despite this, the emperor still needed Wang Zhi to supervise the hundred officials and maintain the imperial power. When Shang Zhi came forward and bluntly denounced Wang Zhi's crimes, the emperor adopted a delaying attitude, and Shang Chen's performance was like a stone in the sea, and he did not receive any response.

However, Shang Shi persevered, and went up three times in a row, just like the spirit of Zhuge Liang's previous and posterior appearances, and adhered to the duty of a loyal minister.

In order to realize his ideals, Shang Shi was not afraid of power, went all out to be upright, and finally achieved a comprehensive victory. His goal was not for power and wealth, but to showcase his talent and fulfill his ambitions.

After defeating Wang Zhi, Shang Chen realized his ideals, so he decided to return to his hometown. He studied diligently all his life, even the three yuan, went through three dynasties, and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty with his indomitable spirit.

Shang Chen's contribution was highly praised by later generations, and he was known as the first person in our dynasty.
