Actor Yang Lian in the movie "The Honest Official Yang Lian"
Yang Lian submitted the memorial "The Impeachment of Zhongxian Shu" to the emperor, which listed the twenty-four major crimes of Wei Zhongxian . However, unfortunately, this article reached Wei Zhongxian's hands, and Wei Zhongxian tampered with the content after seeing it. After Wei Zhongxian's instruction and revision, such an impassioned memorial was changed into a falsehood. After seeing it, the emperor thought his behavior was very inappropriate. Afterwards, Wei Zhongxian was not convicted. Yang Lian knew that the situation was not favorable to him, but he still chose to make a desperate move to impeach Wei Zhongxian. Unfortunately, the emperor did not listen to him at all, and Wei Zhongxian was unscathed.
Later, Wei Zhongxian retaliated, falsely accusing Yang Lian and others of committing corruption and accepting bribes, and arrested them all. If you want to know how Yang Lian died, let me explain in detail below. After Yang Lian was taken to prison, he was severely tortured and interrogated. Five days later, he wrote "Death Speech" in prison and died tragically in prison. It is said that Yang Lian was first beaten with forty sticks and his hands were beaten a hundred times. After his skin was torn to pieces, iron nails were driven into his head and he was crushed to death by a sack of earth. The death was so tragic that when the body was taken out, it was already rotting and the condition was appalling. When it was placed in the coffin, there were only broken clothes and a few remaining bones. Yang Lian's Tomb
?Yang Lian's Tomb is located in a valley on the back of the mountain and on the water side of Longxing Valley. Opposite is the ruins of Longxing Temple built in the Tang Dynasty. The peaks here spread out like a screen and are known as "Fan Screen". The streams flow through Jiuqu and then gather at the foot of the mountain, so they are called "Longxing Valley". The scenery here is beautiful and the air is fresh.

In 1625 AD, Yang Lian, a famous remonstrator in the late Ming Dynasty, was persecuted by the treacherous minister Wei Zhongxian. He was tortured countless times and finally died in prison. It was not until the Chongzhen period that he was promoted to the throne. Later, he was added as the Taibao of the Crown Prince and Minister of the Ministry of War, and was given the posthumous title of "Zhonglie". After Yang Lian died, his family carried his coffin back to his hometown and buried him in Longxinggou. Therefore, Yang Lian's tomb is also in Longxinggou, so why was he not buried in his birthplace but Longxinggou?
The first reason is that there is a place called "Luhua Bay" below Longxing Valley. Basically, the people living there are surnamed "Zhan", and his wife is also surnamed "Zhan", so This is one of the reasons to be buried here. The second reason is because the scenery of Longxing Valley is beautiful, and the Longxing Temple opposite it is very popular, so it is naturally considered to be a good Feng Shui treasure place. In 2010, because the Longxinggou Reservoir needed to be dammed and all the water at the bottom of the reservoir was drained, the construction team searched at the bottom of the reservoir and found traces of the stone tablets that had been pushed down during the Cultural Revolution. It is still very complete. After investigation and verification, it also confirmed what was recorded in historical materials.
Yang Lian was born in Zhaobi Bay and later moved to Yingshan. Because the novel "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" describes Yang Lian's struggle with the eunuchs in great detail, his deeds are known to more people. Yang Lian ***
?The famous remonstrator Yang Lian in the late Ming Dynasty was interrogated in prison. Xu Xianchun used a lot of torture on Yang Lian, leaving him covered with bruises. Later, during the interrogation, they tortured Yang Lian until he was in agony and dragged him to the court for interrogation. Yang Lian still did not give in. In prison, he wrote Yang Lian's "Fine Writings", which continued to describe the phenomenon of eunuchs' monopoly power and denounced those treacherous ministers who disrupted the imperial court.

On the night of Gengshen in July, Xu Xianchun ordered Yang Lian to be executed and used various means to harm Yang Lian, but Yang Lian did not die. Later, Xu Xianchun used a A large iron nail hit Yang Lian on the head, causing his final death. Before being tortured, Yang Lian bit off his finger and wrote a ***.
After Yang Lian wrote the letter, he hid it under the straw mat. After his death, he was discovered by a detention center. After the guard read the letter, he did not hand it in as required. He took it home, and only his wife knew about it. The guard said to his wife: "One day, when the eunuchs fall and Yang Lian's grievances are vindicated, I will make this letter to Yang Lian public." Therefore, this letter can be preserved until now.
Yang Lian expressed in the *** that he was loyal to serve the court, completely disregarding his own safety, insisting on his own justice, and not giving in to evil forces. At the same time, in Yang Lian's poem, he denounced those treacherous ministers and eunuchs and expressed hatred for their actions. Yang Lian's resistance to the dark forces led by Wei Zhongxian reflected and represented the people's wishes and interests to a certain extent. The fearless spirit he showed in the resistance was praised by future generations. This spirit is what future generations should learn from. . Where is Yang Lian's immortality?
As an intellectual, no matter how many books you have read, if you do not have the spirit, self-confidence and noble values ????that you should have, it is all in vain. For example, the eunuchs who brought disaster to the country in the late Ming Dynasty were not so much the fault of treacherous ministers as the promotion and disruption of intellectuals. There were also many intellectuals in the late Ming Dynasty, but which of them had the spirit of patriotism in their hearts? Only Yang Lian sacrificed his life for the country at that time.

Someone once praised Yang Lian's character and described it with the sentence "After a thousand years, he will eventually be immortal." Then, many people will ask where Yang Lian is immortal? The praise for Yang Lian is not only that he is a loyal minister, nor that he uses his own body as a resistance, but more importantly, that he has set immortal rules for intellectuals.
Yang Lian has his own spirit and regards safeguarding his country as his responsibility and obligation. He saw Concubine Zheng's efforts to sow discord between Shenzong and the Crown Prince. In order to allow the Crown Prince to successfully inherit the throne, although Yang Lian was only a minor official, he was deeply worried about the Crown Prince and used his meager strength to fight for it. With the opportunity to get closer to Shenzong, and to prevent Concubine Zheng from misbehaving, she also united with officials to finally allow the prince to succeed to the throne.
Yang Lian has his own unique psychological self-confidence, and he does not compromise or rely on the powerful. As a minister who cares about life, Yang Lian's official position should be regarded as the smallest, but he has not lost his confidence because of his small official position. Yang Lian often disputed and ridiculed some ministers. Faced with the gradual expansion of the "eunuch party", he chose to resist tenaciously.
Yang Lian has noble values ??and will not give in even if he is tortured. Yang Lian was severely tortured, but he still laughed. His generous spirit, regardless of life and death, is the embodiment of noble values.
Where is Yang Lian Immortal? It should be in his spirit, confidence and noble values. Yang Lian of the Ming Dynasty

Yang Lian's youth happened to be when "Donglin" was rising. At that time, he fought against Gu Xiancheng and others who were not afraid of power and dared evil forces. I was moved by their spirit and admired their integrity very much. Whenever Donglin gave a lecture, he would take the trouble to go to Wuxi and discuss the governance of the country with many gentlemen in Donglin. Donglin also admired him very much. They both had the same goals and ideals, so Yang Lian gradually became a rising star of the Donglin Party.

After Yang Lian learned about this, he felt very worried for the prince.
He believes that the prince will inherit the throne in the future and is the foundation of a country. If the foundation of the country is disturbed, the world will be in chaos. Therefore, he linked supporting the prince with patriotism and firmly supported the prince.
