The historical prototype of Yang Shiqi in "Daming Style": witnessed the Ming Dynasty's transformation from prosperity to decline, and finally died because of his own son
In the latest plot of "Daming Fenghua", Zhu Di died, and before he died, he told the minister Yang Shiqi to make Zhu Gaoxu the King of Han the Emperor and send the prince's family back to Nanjing to live. After Zhu Zhanji knew about it, he almost killed Yang Shiqi. Yang Shiqi told Zhu Zhanji that he did not agree with the King of Lihan as emperor, and Yang Shiqi took Zhu Zhanji to zhu Di, hoping that he would take back his life. And after Zhu Di's death, he joined forces with Zhu Zhanji to stabilize Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaoxuan, and then let Zhu Zhanji rush back to Beijing to support the crown prince Zhu Gaozi to ascend the throne.
Here, you can also see that Minister Yang Shiqi is also a very important role. Yang Shiqi in history, who is also an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, has experienced five generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty and witnessed the transformation of the Ming Dynasty from prosperity to decline.
Yang Shiqi was born in a poor family, when he was a child, his father died, and the top pillar of the family was gone. Yang Shiqi's mother took him to marry another man. Yang Shiqi's stepfather at that time was surnamed Luo, so he changed his surname and also surnamed Luo. At first, his stepfather did not like Yang Shiqi, but once when the Luo family worshipped their ancestors, Yang Shiqi used earthen statues to sacrifice Yang's ancestors and was seen by his stepfather. His stepfather praised Yang Shiqi for his ambition, so he changed him back to his original surname.
Soon after, Yang Shiqi's stepfather also died. When he grew up, Yang Shiqi returned to his hometown with his mother, taking care of her while teaching. Later, he began to travel alone in Hubei and Hunan to teach. During the reign of Emperor Jianwen, he summoned Wen Chen to revise the Records of Ming Taizu, and the chancellor Wang Shuying recommended Yang Shiqi with historical talent. Later, Yang Shiqi entered Hanlin and served as a compiler.
After that, the officials also conducted an examination for the wenchen of the History Museum, and Yang Shiqi's answer sheet surprised the official Shangshu very much, directly allowing him to win the first place in this examination.
Later, during the Battle of Jingnan, Ming Chengzu succeeded to the throne, making Yang Shiqi the editor of the Hanlin Academy. He then joined the Cabinet and became involved in aircraft maintenance. During the reign of Ming Chengzu, Yang Shiqi was repeatedly promoted to higher ranks because of his merits, and Zhu Di was extremely fond of him. He also asked him to teach the crown prince Zhu Gaozi.
After Zhu Di's death, Yang Shiqi assisted the crown prince Zhu Gaozi to ascend the throne, and Yang Shiqi was greatly appreciated by Zhu Gaozi. Promotion is at least guaranteed. Soon after Zhu Gaoxu became emperor, Yang Shiqi supported the crown prince Zhu Zhanji to succeed to the throne, and when Zhu Gaoxu rebelled, he advised him, avoiding a war, not to mention, and making Zhu Gaoxuan, who originally wanted to rebel, willingly submit to Zhu Zhanji.
The last emperor Yang Shiqi assisted was Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of Ming. Because At that time, Emperor Mingyingzong favored the eunuch Wang Zhen, causing everyone in the courtiers to endanger themselves, and after the death of Empress Dowager Zhang, Wang Zhen even controlled the government. Yang Shiqi suffered many times, and at that time the Ming Dynasty began to turn from prosperity to decline, and Yang Shiqi also experienced this process. And his son Yang Ji was arrogant and arrogant, and once killed people for violence. Many people who opposed Yang Shiqi impeached Yang Shiqi for this reason, and also attributed these mistakes to Yang Shiqi.
Ming Yingzong knew that Yang Shiqi was a loyal subject, so he did not blame Yang Shiqi, but comforted him. Yang Shiqi wept with gratitude and soon became worried. In the ninth year of orthodoxy, Yang Shiqi died and was posthumously awarded the title of Taishi (太師) with the posthumous title of Wenzhen (文贞). It is a pity that Yang Shiqi, who has experienced five generations of emperors, finally died of illness because of his son's excessive worries.
