His father, Yang Shouqing, was an official of the Liu family in Guangnan. After returning to the court, he was the Sima of Fangzhou. Less from the school in Zhongnanshan. He set up a military officer in Fangzhou and moved to the palace to serve the censor. Empress Guo was abolished and fought with Confucius and Fan Zhongyan. Both Daofu and Zhongyan came out and stopped the fine together. However, they said that they were willing to demote Daofu and others but failed. Chen's daughter was elected to the palace. She thought that after that, she would give advice together. I'm a Bachelor of Hanlin. Later, he changed right to advise the doctor. Please be an old man and serve as a minister of the Ministry of Shangshu. He is hard-working, loyal and simple. He dares to speak big and talk about things in the world.

Life of the characters

When he was young, Yang Kai followed Zhong to work in Zhongnanshan. He promoted Jinshi, took off his cloth clothes, and served as a military officer in Fangzhou, zhikaiyuan County, and then as a military judge in Hanzhou. Once on his way, a magician who watched the calamities of yin and Yang said to Yang Kai, "do you know that there is something in the world that turns tile stone into gold? "Just give Yang Kai a performance on the spot, and it turns out to be gold. The warlock wanted to teach him the magic of turning stone into gold. Yang Kai said, "I'm eating royal food. How can I turn stone into gold? "The warlock said," your ambition is very high, far from us. "So the warlock went out of the house and disappeared.

When he was an official, Yang Kai wrote to the court many times to comment on current affairs, and he also wrote literary theory. Later, the imperial court asked him to take the bachelor's college examination, but he failed in the examination, so he was appointed as the governor of Yongxing army. He wrote again to comment on the border affairs in Shaanxi, and the imperial court asked him to take the examination again. Before he went, he was transferred to be the Secretary of the provincial Book Zuo Lang, and also the judge of the court, and then to be Dr. Taichang. Song Shou recommended him as the censor of supervision, and changed him to serve in the palace. He and Cao xiugu jointly wrote a letter and was demoted as doctor Taichang and supervisor of Shuzhou tax. Later, wailang, a member of Shangshu ancestral temple, became a magistrate of the third division.

At that time, empress Guo was abolished. Yang Kai, Kong Daofu and Fan Zhongyan all opposed to the abolition and defended empress Guo. For this reason, Kong Daofu and Fan Zhongyan were demoted from the court, while Yang Kai only imposed a fine. Yang Kai offered to demote them together with Kong Daofu and Fan Zhongyan, but the Ministry of officials did not accept his opinion. Fumin's daughter Chen was elected to the palace and was going to be a queen. Yang Kai wrote to the emperor again about the abolition of empress Guo, so he asked him to know about the miscellaneous affairs as a member of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of Commerce and a censor. Ma Jiliang was demoted to Chuzhou for his crime and offered to resign. Yang Kai said that resigning and returning to residence is only applicable to the virtuous and the virtuous, and the criminal is Yuanquan resigning and returning to residence. He also discussed the malpractice of promotion and appointment for many times. Renzong respected him very much and adopted it in time. He was also appointed as liuneiquan of the Ministry of official affairs. He was transferred to the third division as assistant envoy, promoted to tianzhangge, and transferred to Hebei. Yang Kai found out that Xia shouen had stolen tens of thousands of liang of silver in Dingzhou, and shouen was exiled to Lingnan. The next year, Yang Qie's mother died. He proposed that he would not be an official for his whole life. The imperial court would not allow him to be promoted to LongTuge direct bachelor and zhihezhong mansion.

During the rebellion of Yuanhao, Liu Ping and Shi yuansun were defeated and captured in the battle of Yanzhou (now Yan'an, Shaanxi). When Yang Kai knew about it, he faked a letter from the imperial court and sent it to Yanzhou, saying, "the imperial court sent 100000 soldiers. "He ordered the surrounding counties to prepare food and equipment for the arrival of the officers and soldiers. When the imperial court really sent a letter, the bandits had already scared away. Xia song, as the economic and strategic envoy of Shaanxi Province, asked for more local soldiers to be sent to the Wei capital. Yang Kai said: "at present, Guanzhong is poor in money. Adding more local soldiers will only increase the cost of the imperial court. Nowadays, the power of bandits is flourishing. Even if you increase the number of local soldiers, you can't let the garrison troops go back to the capital. You are afraid of losing a battle and getting a crime, so you want to use less soldiers as a way to get rid of it. "Xia Song told the court that Yang Kai was unfaithful and prevented his plan to fight against the enemy. Yang Kai argued. At that time, Shaanxi discussed the establishment of the five guarantees organization. Yang Kai thought that it was a disturbing organization with more disadvantages than advantages, so he wrote a request not to set it up. Therefore, he was transferred to Shanzhou, and then to Hedong. The emperor issued an imperial edict to recruit soldiers among the people of the three routes. Yang Kai said, "there are not many soldiers now. We only want to have a large number of soldiers, but we don't know how to step up training and improve our combat capability. The more soldiers there are, the easier it is to lose. Moreover, the more soldiers there are, the more poverty the country faces and the more difficult it is to supply military supplies. "But at that time, people thought it was better to have more soldiers, and only Yang Kai insisted on his own view.

Later, Yang entered the Privy direct bachelor, and knew Bingzhou. When Yuanhao led his troops to invade, the emperor secretly ordered Yang Kai to select ten thousand excellent soldiers and strong generals to coordinate with Lin and Fu. Yang Kai said: "if you are not disciplined, you will not use your life. I'm afraid I'm going to flee on the road and retreat in the face of battle. I don't listen to the orders. Please follow the military law. "The emperor issued an imperial edict to agree with Yang Kai's request. Bingzhou people were terrified when they knew. There was a middle ranking official who intervened in the military affairs. He was always rude. The former military commander did not dare to provoke him and always treated him with tolerance and preferential treatment. After Yang Kai took office, both generals and soldiers would act in accordance with military law. He ordered the middle ranking officer and his troops to follow the deputy general manager out of the river, and warned him: "if there is a thief going to fight, you must report to the deputy general manager and accept the command of the deputy general manager. "Zhongguan disobeyed the deputy manager's chastity. Yang Kai severely criticized him and said," do you know that if you disobey the commander's order, you have to decapitate? "Zhongguan was very afraid, sweating and falling the wat board to the ground. He took sick leave the next day and died in a short time. Since then, the military and government have been in awe.

Yuanhao plundered Hebei, and the emperor ordered the construction of Ningyuan village. Yang Kai said that Ningyuan village is located outside the river, between Linzhou and Fengzhou. There is no water spring to guard. Please build a new Linzhou in Lanzhou. There is a white tower to build a stronghold and garrison troops. He said: "moving has five advantages, but not moving has three disadvantages: saving the country's resources and cherishing the people's strength, which is one advantage; the way out for the thieves in Kelan and Shifu prefectures along the river, which is two advantages; according to my point, although the river ice is close, the thieves dare not cross the river to the East, which is three advantages; the business and travel to get access to wealth and goods, which is four advantages; when Fanghe was frozen, there were five or seven thousand soldiers and horses stationed here, which is five advantages. Today, it costs thousands of money to transport grain and grass in Linzhou. If the old city is not moved, the people in Hedong will suffer from the fact that grain and grass can not be transferred in on time, which is one harm; the isolated city is easy to attract thieves to attack, which is the second harm; the road is dangerous, and the reinforcements are difficult to carry on, which is the third harm. Moreover, all the four sides of the state belong to Qiang people. If a thief comes to attack, it will be completely empty. Only a lonely city will exist, just like the same people, all the limbs will be destroyed, and the first face and heart will be kept alone. Today, Khitan conspired with the western regions to attack Hedong when the weather was cold and frozen. If the imperial court did not want to defend and resist, but to build Ningyuan village, it would only seek fame and ignore the disaster. Besides, Lingzhou and xiazhou were established in the Han and Tang Dynasties. They were abandoned and relocated. What a pity for Linzhou! "The emperor said to the assistant minister after the book was written:" the ancient county of Linzhou was once besieged by bandits in the middle age of Xianping. It's not impossible to defend. Now suddenly abandoned, is to retreat to the river as the boundary, should inform Yang Kai quickly repair Ningyuan, in order to help Linzhou. "In the second year, the Imperial Court changed Yang Kai to Zuo Si Lang and benlu JINGLUE to appease and punish him, and gave him 500000 yuan. Yang Kai asked the court to promise six things: first, forbid the Chinese to interfere in the military; second, move to Linzhou; third, make it easy to engage in; fourth, reduce the redundant troops; fifth, recruit warriors; sixth, arrest and aid. He also said, "if you can use the words of a minister, you will be ordered, otherwise you will not be ordered. "When the imperial court did not follow, Yang Kai played many times, so he was sent to Xingzhou and moved to Cangzhou. He asked to report to the military face to face, so he called him back to Beijing and ordered him to go to court every other day.

When he was in Bingzhou, Yang Kai once discussed the painting of eight formations and the array of entering the Divine Shield and chopping the array knife. The outer circle of the array was car, and the inner circle was shield. After returning to the court, the emperor ordered five hundred soldiers, just as he did in the court. After the demonstration, the emperor was very happy and ordered all the roads to carry out the array. Later, Wang Ji used Yang Kai's sword eaves method to defeat Yuan Wu in Tu Mao Chuan. Later, Yang Kaiqian served as a scholar in the Imperial Academy, a scholar in the Imperial Academy, and a doctor in the Imperial Academy. Yuan Hao begged for peace, but he was not willing to be a minister. Yang Kai believed that the imperial court had been fighting for years, and its national strength was declining. He should temporarily agree to Yuan Wu's request and try to kill him slowly. Admonishing officials Wang Su, Ouyang Xiu, Cai Xiang, etc. repeatedly impeached and played, "Yang Kai is a subordinate official, and he does not want to ask for thieves for the country, but he does not want to help Wu in Yuan Dynasty. His majesty can't bear to kill him. Please transfer him out and don't stay in the capital.". At that time, Cai Xiang asked for leave and passed by Hangzhou qingyouli city. Someone gave Yang Kai advice and asked him to write a letter to Cai Xiang. Yang Kai replied, "Cai Xiang used to oppose me for official business, but how can I take revenge on others in private? "He also presented to the imperial court the picture of ten images of peace and tranquility.

After Yang Kai was transferred back to the imperial court, he also served as Taichang and sinang temple, and changed to the right advising official. Later, he asked to go back to his hometown, and he resigned as the minister's minister. When he left the imperial court, the Emperor gave a special banquet to see him off. After his death, he left a piece of "on soldiers". The emperor was very fond of him and gave it to his minister of the Ministry of war. Yang Kai is upright, loyal and simple. He dares to say what no one else dares to say. He has written many times to comment on world affairs. Most people in charge of the government think that he is pedantic and difficult to use. He is especially fond of the art of war, and has written 15 volumes of the book of war and 10 volumes of the collection.
