In the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei prison, in the dark hell of the world, there was such a person who "lived" here for ten years, and after the new monarch ascended the throne, he was immediately released from prison and was awarded the Hanlin Bachelor, and from then on he was out of control.
He is Yang Pu, the Southern Yang of the Three Yangs of the Ming Dynasty. So what kind of person is he?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > squat prison to change fate</h1>
From where to say, he and Yang Rong became a jinshi together, and perhaps the two people did not expect that many years later, the two would become good partners in the cabinet. Then, Zhu Di rebelled, and he was sent to the crown prince Zhu Gaozi, thus becoming a staunch princeling. Unlike other princelings, he did not have much success, and if he continued to do so, he might wait until the prince succeeded to the throne, and he was just a humble person.
However, one thing changed his destiny, and this thing is neither good nor bad, nor bad.
What's the matter?
At that time, it was Zhu Gaoxu who fought against the crown prince Zhu Gaoxu. In the twelfth year of Yongle, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di returned to Beijing, and at this time, Zhu Gaozi, who was in the position of prince, should naturally lead a loyal greeting, but he did not expect to be late. Zhu Gaoxu naturally did not miss this opportunity and took the opportunity to say bad things about Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di was also more in love with Zhu Gaoxu at that time, and in a fit of anger, he imprisoned all the subordinate officials of the Eastern Palace, and Yang Pu was the one who was innocently implicated.
Then, Yang Pu entered the prison of people talking about discoloration. This prison is not an ordinary prison, it belongs to the care of the Jinyi guards, and ordinary people can't go in, and all the people who can stay in it are high-ranking officials and nobles. And Yang Pu is so lucky, maybe in ten years he can brag: I am a person who can still come out after ten years in Zhao Prison.
Historical materials have few specific descriptions of Yang Pu in prison, such as the Ming History:
The family was starved of food. And the emperor is unpredictable, and dies at night. Pu Yifen, reading never quit. Ten years, reading the history of the Bible for several weeks.
I counted, and used more than thirty words to say about his ten years: the family's food delivery was often broken, Zhu Di might kill him at any time, and then Yang Pu was very diligent, read books for ten years, and read several times in the subset of scriptures. But the purpose of my writing this article is naturally not just to translate the things in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but naturally to have some of my own things.
Therefore, let's speculate about what kind of psychological journey Yang Pu's decade is.
When he was imprisoned, I think Yang Pu must have had two thoughts like most people: one was that when he finished his mind, Zhu Di would definitely kill him next; the second was that the prince was still outside, waiting for the prince to take back a city and rescue himself.
Then combing through, Yang Pu's initial idea should be the first kind of waiting to be killed, so at first he would not go to prison to read the book; but after a while, the will of execution was not seen for a long time, and Yang Pu's mind naturally changed, becoming the second kind, hoping that the prince would go out on his own; but after a while, nothing happened.
This can only show one thing, Yang Pu has been forgotten, and both sides have forgotten, he can only cry without tears.
Then, Yang Pu began to read, and everyone said that this was because Yang Pu was diligent and studious, and he could devote himself to reading whenever and wherever he wanted. Maybe the historical Yang Pu is really such a person, but I think it is not so, the motivation for reading should be two: First, Yang Pu has also realized that he has been forgotten, he needs to do something to remind the emperor and the prince of himself, and then he began his own reading life, in fact, his purpose has also been achieved, once Zhu Di suddenly remembered him, he asked Yang Pu what he was doing now, and the minister told him that Yang Pu was reading non-stop every day in prison. After Hearing this answer, Zhu Di pondered for a long time and issued an order to Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, that he must take good care of Yang Pu and not have any problems.
Second, life in prison is boring and strict, and it is natural not to eat, drink and gamble. That can't be in a daze every day, and books have become the most time-consuming way for Yang Pu. I saw that Yang Pu read books in prison for ten years, in fact, the biggest question is where the books come from, the history books naturally do not describe, and can only speculate that the prison cultural life in those years was definitely not as good as it is now, and there are libraries and the like, so the source of the books can only be a few books brought by the way when his family delivered food, or when he first entered prison, the prince asked him to pay too much attention to him.
Of course, regardless of the process, whether the speculation is correct or not, the result is good. Ten years later, the crown prince succeeded to the throne and Yang Pu was released.

Why is it said that Yang Pu is a cautious person, not without reason?
First of all, he must be talented, otherwise it would be impossible to become a cabinet cast to rule with benevolence. Since he has talent, why he has no obvious achievements in the ten years before he was imprisoned to assist the prince, and Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi, who are also "three Yangs", have already emerged, which can only be attributed to his personality, which is called calm and introverted at best, and too careful at worst.
After ten years of studying in prison, Emperor Akihito Zhu Gaozi noticed him, so after ascending the throne, he released Yang Pu and appointed Hanlin Scholars. When he reached a higher position, his talent was also reflected, no longer just a subordinate official, and then began to rise continuously, even holding several positions, and after Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne, he began to enter the cabinet and jointly supervise the affairs of the cardinal with Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and others.
At this time, the situation of the Three Yang Dingli began to take shape, and in this way, until the third year of orthodoxy, the "Records of Emperor Xuanzong of Ming" was completed, and Yang Pusheng was crown prince Shaobao and Wuyingdian University scholar. Yang Pu entered the cabinet twenty years later than Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong, and came here to join them.

At this time, Yang Pu reached the peak moment of his life, and we also saw what his real personality was like, because at this time he did not have to disguise, there was no need to cover up.
Pu is straight and quiet, no city government. Sexual courtesy, every time you enter the dynasty, follow the wall. The ministers argue whether it is possible to argue or not, or to the point of disobedience. Pu Ping's heart was dealt with, and all the ministers were impressed.
When he went up to the court, walking along the wall, the ministers argued to the point of swearing, and he would not be angry. No matter what position he was in, he was such a cautious person, and at this time I was thinking that if he did not go to prison and was not noticed by Zhu Gaozi, would he live a "cautious" life.
Maybe only such a person can live a long life, and die at the age of seventy-five.

An article of two thousand words to introduce a person is pale and powerless to tell the truth, so I can only choose the perspective of personality to analyze this person, but all this is my own speculation, and only the benevolent can see the wise.
Next, I will continue to analyze the Western Yang (Yang Shiqi) and Eastern Yang (Yang Rong) in the Three Yangs, thanks for reading.
