Shangrui Ancestral Hall
The so-called Three Yuans of Lianzhong means that under the three-level examination of the imperial examination system, the township examination is called "Xie Yuan" first, the first is called "Hui Yuan", the first temple test is called "Yuan", and the three examinations are all the first, that is, "Three Yuan". In the entire history of China, there were only 15 people in the Three Yuans, and the Ming Dynasty's merchants were 1/15. Shangrui is not only a scholar, but also a good material for being an official, the official field is mixed up, life is like hanging, the highest official before death to the first assistant, shaobao, posthumous posthumous posthumous title of Taifu, can be said to have won the posthumous name. Such a great achievement of Shang Ren is inseparable from the friends he engaged in.

ShangRui, a native of Chun'an, Zhejiang, was born in the twelfth year of Yongle (1414), the first in the township examination in the tenth year of Xuande (1435), the first in the ninth year of orthodoxy (1444), the first in the temple examination in the tenth year of orthodoxy (1445), and the first in the three yuan of Lianzhong, which was a sensation. With his literary talents, ShangRui entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor.
In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy (1449), the 35-year-old ShangRui was recommended by the elderly loyal ministers Chen Xun and Takaya to enter the cabinet and serve as a waiter to read "pre-secrets" and become a secretary. Although he is a small secretary, it is not ordinary to be able to become the secretary of the General Office of the State Council of Daming. He has had the opportunity to reach the core of power and gain an understanding of the depths of the water in the political quagmire.

After the change of Tumu Fort, the officials who followed Yingzong's northern tour were almost completely killed, and the various departments of the Beijing Division were in urgent need of replenishment, so Shangrui was promoted to Hanlin Bachelor and participated in military aircraft. Also approaching the Beijing Division first, the voice of moving southward toward the middle and north began, and ShangRui and Yu Qian resolutely opposed this non-resistance practice.
After Emperor Daizong's throne was secured, he deposed the crown prince, that is, Emperor Yingzong's concubine Zhu Jianshen, and made his own son Zhu Jianji crown prince. When Emperor Daizong was happy, he rewarded his subordinates, and Shangrui was rewarded with the promotion of a university scholar and a left attendant of the military department, and gave him a mansion. Shangrui became one of the profiteers of Emperor Daizong's succession and Yi Chu, and was also branded as a Daizong party.

In the eighth year of Jingtai (1457), the change of the gate was changed, and Yingzong was restored. ShangRui was unwilling to attach himself to Shi Heng, the hero of the gate, so he became a stumbling block for the hero of the gate. The leader of the Daizong Party, Yu Qian, was beheaded at Caishikou, and Daizong's young servant Shangrui was stripped of his post and removed from office. After that, during the reign of Emperor Yingzong Tianshun, shangrui was buried in the field and could not be extended.

Third, the business re-emerged

Later, Emperor Xianzong took the throne and showed goodwill toward the Daizong Party. First of all, Xianzong forgave Jingtai for deposing the crown prince for three years, and took this as a starting point to begin a retrial of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases. Starting with the less "erroneous" Daizong officials, they first restored their official positions and honors, and there was a discussion. In the third year of Chenghua (1467), ShangRui "entered the cabinet of the old official".
At the beginning of the reinstatement, Shangrui still maintained a bright and upright style, outspoken and daring style, not afraid of offending the emperor, facing the wind, and gave the emperor eight things such as diligence, border defense, and dismissal of redundant officials, and Xianzong said "Jia Nazhi".
Emperor Xianzong zhu saw deeply
Seeing that Emperor Xianzong was magnificent, Shangrui immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, and gave Xianzong a list of officials who hoped to restore Yingzong after the restoration of Yingzong on a large scale, and the emperor agreed, so Luo Lun, Kong Gonggong and other backbones of the Daizong Party resumed their honors and official positions one after another.
In the fourth year of Chenghua (1468), Shangrui was promoted to Shangshu of the Bingbu Department, and soon After, Jiawenyuange was a scholar and official Shangshu, and with the title of Bachelor's Jiashangshu, Shangrui became one of the real cabinet members.

In the "History of Ming", it is said that ShangRui was a person who was "plain and simple, generous and tolerant", and such a good person really had nothing to do with the "friends", but history is cruel, and in the feudal system, he often can't help himself.
During the Chenghua period of Emperor Mingxianzong, the grievances between the north and the south that had lasted for a hundred years broke out in an all-round way. At this time, the focus of contention between the southern and northern factions was on the position of shangshu of the bureaucracy, because the shangshu of the bureaucracy controlled personnel affairs, who was chosen and who was not chosen, who went to and where to serve and who did not go to the post, and the right to speak of the shangshu of the bureaucracy was very important, so this was the most important position related to their own forces, and neither the southern nor the northern factions was ambiguous.
a bureaucrat in the Ming dynasty
The first official of the Chenghua Dynasty, Shangshu, was Wang Ao, a subordinate of the Northern Zhizhi, who attached great importance to geographical blood relatives, and used people to "attract more northerners" and "quite right-handed southerners", and "right" means to demean. Such an obvious regional blackness naturally angered the Nanren clique, which quickly gathered and operated actively, and Peng Hua, a scholar of Hanlin, and Chen Wen, the first assistant, were both southerners, and the two secretly plotted, and finally overthrew Wang Ao in the third year of Chenghua (1467).
Coincidentally, this year coincided with the year of the return of the merchants to the dynasty. Although he has the heart of Zhongzheng, but the situation is limited, he must worship the docks, and the merchants are from Zhejiang, so naturally they want to worship the Nanren Group.
"Daming Style": Ming Dynasty official
After Wang Ao's resignation, the official Shangshu was Li Bing, a native of Shandong, who retaliated against the Nanren clique, and in the fourth and fifth years of Chenghua, he used the name of Jingcha to wantonly belittle the high-ranking officials of the Nanren.
With the smooth progress of Shangrui, Shangrui also became one of the leaders of the Nanren Group. In the face of the aggressiveness of the northerners, in order to protect his younger brothers, ShangRui also secretly manipulated, frequently attacked, and finally destroyed Li Bing in the name of "changing the law for personal gain and taking charge of the envoy".
After Li Bing's departure, Shangrui, who was still a Qunfu, recommended his fellow villager Yao Kui as the official Shangshu, but the first assistant at this time was Peng Shi, a native of Jiangxi, who recommended his fellow villagers, and as a result, the infighting between the two made the Northerners profit again, and Cui Gong was promoted to the post of Official Shangshu.

Unfortunately, soon after Cui Gong took office, Ding Yu returned to his hometown, and Yao Kui, a classmate of Shangrui, presided over the official department on behalf of the officials, at this time, the southerners filled the court, and the cabinet was completely occupied by the southerners. However, when Cui Gong finished his filial piety and planned to return to Beijing, he was suddenly transferred to the Nanjing official Shangshu.
Let's take a look at the difference between Nanjing and Beijing: the official rank, feng lu, and duties are the same, but there is no one in Nanjing, there is nothing to do, in fact, it is an empty title, so in fact Cui Gong was dismissed. The cabinet and the joint bureaucracy together to exclude Cui Gong, and the bridge between the cabinet and the bureaucracy is the business. After that, the Shangrui linked up with Yao Kui, and the shangrui faction of the Nanren Group soared, and the Shangrui was finally promoted to the first assistant.

In the three official disputes, Shangrui did not appear much, and the Shangrui at that time could not completely dominate the cabinet, but since Shangrui returned to Beijing, especially starting from Li Bing, Shangrui's political activities were extremely active and very active. After Li Bing left, ShangRui even put on a battle, and did not hesitate to clash with Peng Shi, the boss of the Nanren Group and the first assistant. During the period of Cui Gongding's worries, Yao Fu was able to directly replace Cui Gong with the support of the cabinet, which was estimated to be difficult to do without a discussion of needle leads.
After Shang Ren led the cabinet, he was indeed a generation of sages, and the History of Ming ranked him below the Three Yangs. In the thirteenth year of Chenghua (1477), ShangRui was not afraid of threats, bluntly saying that the impeachment power castrated Wang Zhi's crime, forcing the emperor to abolish the West Factory, but Shang Ren saw that the emperor's reliance on Wang Zhi's heart was already determined and irreversible, so he decided to resign voluntarily in order to seek the whole body.
