In July of the third year of Hongwu (1370), Zhu Yuanzhang promoted yang xian to Zuo Cheng, who was in charge of Zhongshu Province. After Yang Xianyou gained real power, he got carried away and took aim at the enemy Li Shanchang. In Zhongshu Province, yang xian fought Li Shanchang and Hu all day, and his recklessness brought disaster to himself.
Yang Xian did proofreading work and reported something to Zhu Yuanzhang. However, it may be that his brother Yang Xisheng was deposed, which hit him too hard. On the surface, he had to be respectful to Li Shanchang, but in private, he always wanted to take him down. Yang xian repeatedly advised Zhu Yuanzhang: "Li Shanchang has no great talent and is unbearable." In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, yang xian was not worthy of Li Shanchang, and yang xian's recklessness finally failed Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations. In the month when Yang Xiancheng became Zuo Cheng in Zhongshu, he committed a crime and was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The history books are vague about Yang Xianzhi's death, saying only that he was punished for his crime, and no one knows what crime he committed. He soon disappeared from the political arena. He mysteriously disappeared, and the inside story remains unknown hundreds of years later.
Extended data:
Yang Xian (132 1~ 1370), whose real name is Yang Bi, was born in Taiyuan Yangqu (now Taiyuan, Shanxi). Minister in the early Ming Dynasty, subordinate to Dong Zhe Group (Liu Ji).
From the end of Yuan Dynasty to the 16th year of Zheng Zheng (1356), Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Jiankang (now Nanjing), and yang xian went to the shogunate to take charge of documents. Often defected to Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, because of its ability to handle affairs, for Zhu Yuanzhang's cronies. In the first year of Hongwu (1368), Ren Zhongshu took part in politics and moved to Zuocheng in two years. When he was in charge of Zhongshu, in order to save trouble, he got rid of old officials and used his cronies to kill Liu Bing, an imperial envoy, and impeach You Yangguang. After Li Shanchang was illegal, he was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang because of "lewdness".
After his death, yang xian was buried in Wuguantun, Yang Jialing. According to the old man, when Gong Xian was killed, Liu Bowen asked his ancestors if they wanted officials or important people, but they said they wanted people, so he asked them to flee to the north. When his feet were seven pounds of mud, he settled down, so Zu Deqing kept marching. To Wuguantun, ten miles southeast of chiping, the road is muddy and difficult to walk, so stay here. Carry on the family line. To this day, I live in Deqing, in Dafeng Village, Xu Dong, 18 miles west of Feicheng County. For the same family. On the Generation of Ci, the Next Generation: Yu Yan Guang Yongxing ...
That was a long time ago, and now there is another saying about important officials or people. It is said that the geomantic omen of Yang Jialing in Wuguantun was chosen by Liu Bo. At that time, I asked my ancestors if they were important officials or important people. My ancestors said they were important people, so the descendants of the Yang family had a poor career, but they were prosperous. Form a unique male branch. This branch was different from the great migration of Hongdong County during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not the policy reason at that time. Used for historical investigation and analysis.
It is true that chiping Wuguantun and Dulangkou advertised that Yang is the descendant of Yang Xian. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the mausoleum occupied a serious area and destroyed countless tombstones' genealogy. Textual research can be found on the walls of the village, and the investigation is well-founded.
