Yang pu's life
1372, Yang Pu was born in Shishou, Huguang. In two years, he and Yang Rong were both scholars and were appointed as editors by Hanlin. In the early years of Yongle, Yang Pu was appointed Prince Washing Horse and became the royal family of Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi. The prince once read Hanshu and praised Zhang Shizhi for his brilliance. Yang Pu said: "Zhang Shizhi is really talented, but if it weren't for Wendi's generosity and kindness, he wouldn't be able to display his ambition." So I collected the deeds of Emperor Wendi, sorted them out and presented them to the Prince. The prince was very happy. Soon, Yang Pu went home to attend the funeral. At that time, the prince supervised the country and forced him to return to Nanjing.
In September of the twelfth year of Yongle, the imperial edict lasted for ten years, and the special envoy was a little late. Hanwang Zhu took the opportunity to enter the imperial edict. In a rage, Chengzu ordered the arrest and imprisonment of all officials in the East Palace. This has become the second major change in the battle for protected areas after Jie Jin's imprisonment. At that time, only Zhan He, the minister of the Ministry of War, was in the middle school, and Zhan was appointed as the Minister of Interior Affairs. Because he is an old man in Jingnan, he is lucky not to be injured. Admiralty is a man who dares to speak. He didn't want to offend Chengzu, but he tried his best to protect the prince with his life so that he wouldn't be destroyed. However, as officials of the East Palace, Yang Pu, Huang Huai and others were jailed for this. The food provided by their families has been cut off many times, and Cheng Zu is delirious and may die at any time. But Yang Pu studied harder and never stopped. During his ten years in prison, he read through the classics and history books several times.
On August 15th, the 22nd year of Yongle, Prince Zhu Gaochi became Emperor Renzong. Yang Pu was released from prison, and on the third day after Injong ascended the throne, Yang Pu was awarded a bachelor's degree in Hanlin. He wrote secret books to discuss political affairs, and Renzong praised him and gave him paper money. Later, the emperor thought that Yang Pu had been imprisoned for himself for a long time and felt more sympathy for him.
In the first year of Hongxi, Renzong built Hong Wen Pavilion on the left side of Sishanmen, and selected talented people from ministers to serve in the Pavilion. Yang Shiqi recommended Wang Jin and Chen Ji, while Jane recommended Yang Jing and He Cheng. Injong's Dr. Chen Ji, edited by Yang Jing. Why did he become a job and he cheng was on duty in the cabinet every day? I put Yang Pu in charge of cabinet affairs and personally awarded him the cabinet seal, saying, "I left Ai Qing with me, not only to learn, but also to widely understand people's feelings and help govern the country. Any suggestions to report? You can seal the submission. " Soon, he was promoted to secretary of Taichang Temple, and he still held his old post. Within a few months, he was awarded three positions, which shows Injong's concern for Yang Pu.
In the same year, Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, acceded to the throne, set up Hong Wen Pavilion, called Yang Pu into the Pavilion, and co-managed cardinal affairs with Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and others. Four years later, she resigned because of her mother's death and came out to work after the mourning period expired. Xuande was promoted to the Ministry of Rites in nine years, and he is still on duty in the cabinet, with a bachelor's degree.
In a.d. 1435, in the tenth year of Xuande, Yang Guifei died and Ming Yingzong acceded to the throne. Shortly after Yingzong acceded to the throne, Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong asked to give lectures and hold a banquet, so we must choose a few people who are knowledgeable, honest and trustworthy, cautious in words and deeds and reasonable in age. He also asked for careful selection of courtiers who served the emperor day and night in the palace. Empress Taizhang is very happy. One day, the Queen Mother took a seat in the side hall, and Yingzong stood facing west. She called the British Duke Zhang Fu, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu and Hu Ying, the minister of rites, into the room. The queen mother said to them, "You are all old ministers. Now that the emperor is young, I hope that Qi Xin will work together to maintain national stability. " Zhang Taihou regarded these five ministers as the core of orthodox politics. The Queen Mother specially invited Yang Pu to come forward and said, "Emperor Renzong has always been loyal to the Qing Dynasty and sighed many times. I don't want to see you again today. " Yang Pu was moved to tears, and the Queen Mother also shed tears, and everyone around her was very sad. Renzong was framed when he was a prince, and many officials in the East Palace died in prison. Yang Pu and Huang Huai spent ten years in prison and almost died several times. Injong often missed them in his palace. Empress Dowager Cixi always sympathized with them and said these words to Yang Pu. Empress Dowager Cixi also said to Yingzong: "These five ministers, after being elected in san huang, are enough to assist future generations. The emperor is busy with politics and wants to discuss with these five people. "
Three years of orthodoxy, completed in the year of Records of Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty, Yang Pu was promoted to Prince Shaobao and a university student in Wuyingdian. He joined the cabinet twenty years later than Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong, so he joined them here.
After six years of isolation from orthodoxy, Yang Pu returned to his hometown to visit the grave and returned to Beijing soon. Since then, Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong have died. Ma Yu, Gao Gu and Cao Nai in the Cabinet are all backward figures with poor fame. When Yang Pu couldn't support himself, the right Wang Xiang town began to become more authoritarian. In his later years, Yang Pu resigned many times because of his advanced age, but none of them were allowed.
