Kang Hai rescued Li Mengyang and was convicted

Kang Hai, the two great literati of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Mengyang were good friends, but their temperaments were very different. Kang Hai has a gentle personality, knows the way to seek advantages and avoid harms, pays attention to ways and methods, and when necessary, he will also adopt the way of mingzhe to protect himself; Li Mengyang, on the other hand, is as fierce as fire, jealous as a vendetta, and often does things regardless of the consequences, rushing and beating. Li Mengyang once wrote to impeach the empress's father, Zhang Heling, and almost lost his life. The emperor did not kill Li Mengyang because he loved him, but Li Mengyang, who had just been released from prison, actually whipped Zhang Heling off his horse, which showed Li Mengyang's boldness and willfulness.

Kang Hai was eating at home, the family came to say that someone outside the door asked to see, Kang Hai put down the rice bowl and went to the living room suspiciously, the person who came took out a small note from his body and handed it to Kang Hai, Kang Hai saw that there were only four words written on it, "To the mountain to save me", "to the mountain" is Kang Hai's word, Kang Hai knows, good friend Li Mengyang has another accident.

After Emperor Mingwuzong ascended the throne, he reused eunuchs, and the grand eunuch Liu Jinquan fell for a while and did whatever he wanted. Therefore, Li Mengyang and several like-minded friends discussed the impeachment of Liu Jin, which was written by Li Mengyang. However, this matter was discovered by Liu Jin, and those who prepared to impeach Liu Jin together with Li Mengyang were dismissed from their posts, and Li Mengyang was also arrested and imprisoned. After Li Mengyang was thrown into prison, he knew in his heart that the only thing waiting for him was death. Li Mengyang thought that Kang Hai and Liu Jin were fellow countrymen, and Liu Jin had always admired Kang Hai, and if Kang Hai personally went to plead with Liu Jin, he might be able to avoid death, so he wrote a note asking for help

Kang Hai had always disdained Liu Jin's actions, so Liu Jin's several sincere friendships with Kang Hai were rejected. However, in order to rescue his friends this time, Kang Hai couldn't take much care of it, and he visited Liu Jin overnight. Liu Jin was overjoyed and immediately released Li Mengyang. In the time of a day, the news of Kang Hai's visit to Liu Jin had spread throughout the official field.

In the new year, Liu Jin collapsed, and Kang Hai, who had always acted cautiously, finally turned to Liu Jin for help when he rescued Li Mengyang. He was classified as Liu Jin's party, and this time he was also implicated and dismissed as an official. He was 36 years old.
