The change of the gate, also known as the restoration of the Nangong, during the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Qiyu Jingtai period, the Ming Dynasty general Shi Heng, the Wenchen Xu Youzhen, and the eunuch Cao Jixiang were equal to the eighth year of Jingtai (1457) to support the restoration of The Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen who was imprisoned by Zhu Qiyu in the Nangong. For the change of the gate, it was a mutiny around the position of emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the final result was that Zhu Qizhen regained the throne from Zhu Qiyu.
After the change of the gate, Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen immediately arrested Yu Qian and Wang Wen, a scholar of the University, and imprisoned him. Falsely accusing Yu Qian of making ill-gotten remarks, he and the eunuchs Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong, and Wang Qin planned to welcome the son of King Xiang of Li. After the song was presented, Ming Yingzong was still a little hesitant and said, "Yu Qian is meritorious (humble and meritorious). Xu Youzhen said: "If you don't kill Yu Qian, the restoration will become a nameless teacher." Ming Yingzong's idea was decided. On the twenty-third day of the first month, Yu Qian was escorted to the Chongwen Gate, just in front of the city he had desperately defended, and got his final ending- the duel.
In this regard, in the view of many historians, the favored eunuch Wang Zhen, which led to the change of Tumu Fort, has made it difficult for Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen to evaluate positively. Now, Zhu Qizhen had wrongfully killed yu Qian, a loyal minister, which was indeed very infuriating. However, after the wrongful killing of Yu Qian, Zhu Qizhen finally woke up and reused a sage, which not only promoted the restoration of the Ming Dynasty's national strength, but also allowed Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang, Xu Youzhen and other villains who had wrongfully killed Yu Qian to get the punishment they deserved. For this sage, it is Li Xian, who can be compared with Sanyang in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
One
First, Li Xian (李贤) (1 January 1409 – 19 January 1467), courtesy name Yuande, was a native of Dengzhou (present-day Dengzhou, Henan). Ming Dynasty sages. Li Xian was born on December 16 of the 6th year of Ming Chengzu Yongle (January 1, 1409). In the seventh year of Xuande (1432), Li Xian won the first place in the township examination. In the eighth year of Xuande (1433), he ascended to the throne. During the Orthodox years, Li Xian was promoted to the rank of Official's Examination Gong Si Lang Zhong, and then changed to the Official's Wenxuan Si Lang Zhong.
In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy (1449), Zhu Qizhen, at the instigation of Wang Zhen, ordered a personal conquest of Wallachia, and the official shilang who was supposed to accompany the conscription at that time was on leave due to illness, so Li Xian followed him. In the same year, the "Tumu Fort Change" broke out, the Ming army was completely destroyed, and Li Xian and a few others escaped from death and returned to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
In the second year of Jingtai (1451), Li Xian was promoted to the right attendant of the bingbu, and later transferred to the right attendant of the hubu. Therefore, Li Xian was once a subordinate of Shangshu Yuqian of the Bingbu Department. In the eighth year of Jingtai (1457), Shi Heng and others launched the "Change of The Gate" to welcome the restoration of Zhu Qizhen, who was imprisoned in the Nangong. After Zhu Qizhen was restored to the throne, he ordered Li Xian and Hanlin to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion and participate in the handling of the imperial government together with Xu Youzhen. Soon, Li Xian was promoted to the rank of official Shangshu. Therefore, for Li Xian at this time, it can already be said that he is the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.
After the change of the door, the silent Li Xian, but silently burst out of energy, skillfully crossed the line, provoked the two major culprits who killed Qian, Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng, to fight among themselves, and it was during this time that he made a few simple analysiss and told Ming Yingzong a heavy truth: Yu Qian, is wronged! After the death of Ming Yingzong, it was also his support, Yu Qian, the hero who was wronged after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, finally obtained the justice he deserved!

After the change of the door, Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang, and Xu Youzhen were naturally becoming more and more rampant. Although Xu Youzhen was degraded and exiled, Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang were still flying high. And this naturally aroused the vigilance of Zhu Qizhen, so he asked Fu Lixian about "grabbing the door". Li Xian replied: "If it is okay to greet the emperor, how can 'seize the door' serve as an example for future generations?" The throne of the Son of Heaven was originally inherent to the emperor, and 'seizing' was not what it should have been. And if it fails, where will it put you? Besides, at that time, King Hao (Zhu Qiyu) was already seriously ill, he died of illness, and the Qunchen would naturally ask you to reinstate, so why so many things? How could they use this to force the reward of promotion? ”
After hearing this, Emperor Mingyingzong suddenly realized that he began to alienate Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng, and ordered that the word "seize the door" should not be used in the future, and at the same time, the more than 4,000 people who had been able to be crowned officials by risking the "gate grabbing" were revoked. In the fourth year of Tianshun (1460), Shi Heng plotted with his son Shi Biao to defend Datong in order to gain military power with Shi Heng, which was arrested by Zhu Qizhen, and Shi Heng later died in prison. After Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang also plotted a rebellion, and was also killed by Emperor Mingying.

From this point of view, Li Xian assisted Zhu Qizhen in getting rid of Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang and exiled Xu Youzhen, which can be said to have avenged Yu Qian, who was wrongfully killed. In this regard, in the view of many historians, after experiencing the change of Tumu fort and eight years of house arrest, Ming Yingzong began to appoint Li Xian, Wang Ao and other sages during the Tianshun period, and successively quelled the Shi Cao Rebellion, showing the style of the Yingming Emperor. Emperor Ming Yingzong once told Li Xian, the first assistant, about his daily living conditions: "I worship the heavens in the morning, worship zubi, and look at the dynasty." After eating, read the chapter. Those who are easy to decide, that is, approved, have something to discuss, and send them to Mr. Li for execution. To a certain extent, the diligence of Emperor Ming Yingzong was naturally inseparable from the assistance of Li Xian, a sage, and the two complemented each other and promoted the restoration of the ming dynasty's national strength.
In the eighth year of Tianshun (1464), when Zhu Qizhen was seriously ill, he lay down in the Wenhua Hall. Just as someone alienated Zhu Qizhen from the crown prince Zhu Jianshen (Ming Xianzong), Zhu Qizhen was shaken by rumors and secretly told Li Xian about it. At this critical moment, Li Xian prostrated his head and said, "Your Majesty may think twice about such a major event." Zhu Qizhen said, "Then must the throne be passed to the crown prince?" Li Xian prostrated his head again and said, "In this way, the Zongmiao Society is very fortunate." Under the persuasion of Li Xian, Zhu Qizhen got up and immediately sent someone to summon Zhu Jianshen. Li Xian helped Zhu Jianshen and made him thank Zhu Qizhen, who hugged Zhu Qizhen's leg and wept, and Zhu Qizhen also wept over it, so that the rumors did not succeed. In this regard, keeping Zhu Jianshen's position as crown prince and prompting him to smoothly inherit the throne of the Ming Emperor was also an important contribution of Li Xian.

Finally, in the first month of the eighth year of Tianshun (1464), Zhu Mishen took the throne. In February, Li Xianjin was promoted to Shaobao and Huagaiden University. Before Li Xian, Yu Qian was also given the title of Shaobao. In other words, the official position of Shaobao was an honor conferred by the Ming Dynasty on the imperial court. In the first month of the second year of Chenghua (1466), Li Xian and other shangxiang said that although the Jingxiang area had sent generals to conquest, but during this period the mountains and forests were deeply obstructed, and there were many displaced people gathering, it was advisable to descend the holy will list, open the displaced people, each of them was safe, and those who could capture the leaders of the incident were doubled. Zhu Jianshen thought that his words were reasonable, so he ordered the bingbu Shangshu Wangfu to act according to his words in order to soothe the Jingxiang displaced people.
In May of the second year of Chenghua (1466), Li Xiansong asked for a conquest of the Tatars of Hetao, and Zhu Mishen thought it was feasible. In June, Zhu Jianshen sent Zhangwu Bo Yang Xin and others to lead an army to the Yansui border to suppress Kou. On December 14, 1467 (January 19, 1467), Li Xian died at home at the age of fifty-nine. After hearing the news, Zhu was very shocked and mourned, and gave him a funeral as usual for the day he quit the dynasty. He also posthumously awarded the special Guanglu Doctor, Zuo Zhuguo, and Taishi, with the nickname "Wenda".
In general, Li Xian has a rather prime minister demeanor and a general understanding. Knowing everything, saying everything. On the one hand, he advanced into the elite and retreated, and promoted famous ministers such as Nian Fu and Wang Zhu. When Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang gained power, Li Xian did not collude with them, but always advised Ming Yingzong to alienate them. Emperor Mingyingzong intended to replace the crown prince, but Li Xian dissuaded him, so that the crown prince (Emperor Mingxianzong) could be saved, thus avoiding civil unrest. Therefore, the History of the Ming Dynasty states that "since the Three Yangs, there has been no sage like a sage." Therefore, for Li Xian, it can be completely compared with Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu (Three Yangs) in the history of the Ming Dynasty. What do you think about that?
