After the Ming Dynasty was established, Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to ensure the eternal stability of the country, he divided his sons into feudal kings, hoping that they could manage their own fiefs well, and unite the kings if necessary. The facts have proved that when the issue of enfeoffment comes to a certain point, there will be troubles, just like the "Seven Kingdoms Rebellion" of the Western Han Dynasty and the "Eight Kings Rebellion" of the Western Jin Dynasty.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, his grandson Zhu Yunzhang came to the throne as Emperor Jianwen. Knowing the threat of the vassal vassal to the central government, he decided to cut the vassal, thus angering his uncle Yan Wang Zhu Di. Immediately, Zhu Di set up his troops. On the surface, he was on the side of the Qing emperor, but in fact he launched an attack on the throne, known as the "Battle of Jing Nan" in history.
Actually, Zhu Di is far inferior to Emperor Jianwen in terms of overall strength. After all, he is just a feudal lord, unable to fight against the central forces. However, Emperor Jianwen and his "think tank" gave Zhu Di opportunities again and again, letting him escape from danger many times, and finally won.
When Zhu Di's soldiers approached the city of Nanjing, Li Jinglong and Gu Wang Zhu Xi saw that the situation was over, they opened Jinchuan Gate and welcomed Zhu Di into the city. After the victory of Jingnan, Emperor Jianwen disappeared in a fire. Zhu Di couldn't wait to enjoy the fruits of victory, and then rode straight to the palace. However, this person ran out to stop him and said something. Therefore, this person eventually became the head assistant of the Four Dynasties. Who is he?
This person is Yang Rong. Yang Rong was the second-year leader of Jianwen, who was editor and editor of Hanlin, at the age of 31. In other words, Yang Rong at this time was still a small official of the seventh rank, and he was not very noticeable. Like other submissions, he knelt at the gate of the palace to greet Zhu Di. However, when Zhu Di arrived at the gate of the palace, he ran out to stop him and said, "His Royal Highness first came to the throne, and first ascended the throne?"
meant to ask him whether he wanted to visit the ancestral mausoleum first or advance to the palace ascended the throne. Zhu Di was initially very angry at someone stopping the driver, but after hearing Yang Rong's words, he immediately reacted. It turned out that according to the ritual system of the Ming Dynasty, before the feudal king became the throne, he must first visit the ancestral mausoleum, so as to prove that his throne was the successor to the first emperor, otherwise it would be wrong.
Although Zhu Di did usurp the throne, in order to conceal the facts, he claimed to be succeeding Zhu Yuanzhang to the throne and refused to recognize the throne of his nephew. If he enters the palace directly at this time, it is equivalent to slap himself in the face in public, admitting that he is a usurper. Yang Rong's words were like a scream, and Zhu Di was sobered up immediately, so he decided to visit Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiaoling Tomb first.
Seeing the scene was very embarrassing, Zhu Di hurriedly explained that he should have visited Xiaoling first, but he only heard that there was a fire in the palace and he was worried about the safety of everyone, so he rushed into the palace. He also said that the fire should have been extinguished, so it was natural to pay respect to Xiaoling.
At the reminder of Yang Rong, Zhu Di first visited Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiaoling Mausoleum, and then entered the imperial palace. Finally, with the support of everyone, he officially inherited the throne and became the ancestor of Ming Dynasty. After this incident, Zhu Di had a deep impression of Yang Rong. After he took the throne, he summoned Yang Rong into the Wenyuan Pavilion.
Since then, Yang Rong has been prosperous in his official career. After Zhu Gaochi was established as the prince, he was appointed as the prince You Yude. Every time when discussing matters, Zhu Di is always very serious. Sometimes the results of the discussion are not satisfied, and he often loses his temper. But whenever Yang Rong arrived, his expression gradually improved and political affairs were quickly resolved.
Yongle five years, Yang Rong was ordered to go to Gansu to plan military affairs. When he returned to his life, it was midsummer, Zhu Di was very happy to see him, and even personally cut watermelon for him. Before long, Yang Rong was promoted to Prince You Concubine. During Zhu Di's second northern expedition, he not only brought Emperor Zhu Zhanji, but also Yang Rong with him. At this time, Yang Rong was mainly responsible for two tasks: one was to explain the history to Zhu Zhanji, and the other was to take charge of the emperor Yuxi for Zhu Di.
Later, Yang Rong was promoted many times until he was the first assistant of the cabinet. When Zhu Di saw Yang Rong, he never called him by his first name, but he always called him "Yang Xueshi." In the 22nd year of Yongle, Zhu Di died of illness on the journey to the North. It was thanks to Yang Rong's resourcefulness that the political handover was successfully achieved and the prince Zhu Gaochi succeeded. After
, he went through the three dynasties of Hongxi, Xuande, and Orthodox. Not only did he continue to serve as the chief assistant to the cabinet, but he also became a junior division and an official to the highest level of ministers. Yang Rong was appreciated by Zhu Di for a word, and eventually became a fourChao Shou Su. However, this also depends on his wit and courage. If it is someone else, he may not have the courage to stop Zhu Di from driving.
