Liu Liuqi Uprising

In the fifth year of Zhengde (1510), the king of Anhua, Zhu Rongyi, rebelled against Liu Jin under the banner of killing Liu Jin. Yang Tinghe drafted an imperial edict to absolve anti crime and asked Bian Jiang Qiu Yue to be promoted so as to disintegrate the chaotic party. As expected, Qiu Yue captured Zhu Rongyi alive. In the same year, Zhang Yong exposed Liu Jin's crime. Liu Jin was killed by Fu Zhu, and Yang Tinghe was promoted. He served as Shaofu, Prince Taifu, and grand Bachelor of Jinshen hall. Zhu houzhao granted his son Yang Heng the title of Zhongshu sheriff. In October of the same year, Liu Liu and Liu Qi launched an uprising, and Yang Yiqing recommended Ma Zhongxi to fight against them. Yang Tinghe thinks that he is a literati and not competent. But because he had already set out, he couldn't stop it, and then he did nothing. Yang Tinghe asked Ma Zhongxi to be arrested and put into prison. Lu Wan took over the post and killed sang Yu, the general who accepted bribes and led the enemy. Later, he adopted the advice of Chen Ji, a bachelor, and enlisted various frontier forces to attack Zhao Yao, a peasant army in Henan Province. He also recommended Peng Ze as the chief commander. Three years later, the uprising subsided, and Zhu houzhao planned to use Yang Tinghe and his son as a thousand households of the royal guards. Yang Tinghe declined, and Zhu houzhao specially appointed him as Shaoshi, Prince Taishi, and huagaidian bachelor.

Zhengde Shoufu

In the seventh year of Zhengde (1512), Li Dongyang returned to his hometown as an official, and Yang Tinghe took over as the first assistant of the cabinet. Zhang Yong became more and more arrogant after he killed Liu Jin. He captured a man who stabbed a dragon on his arm. As a result, he tried to be marquis by citing eunuch Liu Yongcheng as an example. Yang Tinghe said: "Liu Ju, Liu Yongcheng's nephew, was granted the title of uncle because of his military achievements. Even Liu Yongcheng was not granted the title himself." Zhang Yong just gave up. Peng Ze asked Yang Tinghe about his plan when he was going to ask Yan Benshu. Yang Tinghe said, "with your ability, it's not difficult to fight thieves. It's too early to be on guard." Peng Ze later killed Yan Benshu and others, and immediately took charge, while the rest of the rebels gathered one after another, unable to suppress them. Peng Ze had already set out and stayed. Then he sighed, "I can't match Yang Gong's foresight." When the disaster happened in Qianqing palace, Yang Tinghe asked Zhu houzhao to stay away from the side hall, issued an edict against himself, and asked the minister to write a letter. Taking this opportunity, he and his colleagues wrote a letter together, urging Wuzong to go to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices in person in the early days of his reign. He should be more filial to the empresses dowagers of the two palaces and be diligent in the daily lectures. He also suggested to the public that they should open up their minds, understand the situation, return the frontier soldiers, abolish the Imperial Palace and the city that encroached on the people, close the Royal shops, release the monks in the palace, reduce the construction projects, cut and weave more than 10 items, all of which are very timely. But Zhu houzhao didn't read the memorial. Soon after, Yang Tinghe was asked to go home for his father's death, but Zhu houzhao did not allow him. After many requests, Zhu houzhao sent eunuchs to escort him back to his hometown. Before long, he was called out again, and Yang Tinghe wrote many times to refuse before he was allowed. Ge Chen was able to watch the funeral for his parents for three years, starting with Yang Tinghe. At the end of the mourning period, Yang Tinghe accepted the imperial edict to enter the court. Zhu houzhao was hunting in Xuanfu at that time. He sent envoys to give Yang Tinghe mutton, wine and silver coins. Yang Tinghe wrote a letter of thanks and asked Zhu houzhao to return to Beijing, but Zhu did not reply. Yang Tinghe and his bachelor Jiang Mian rode to Juyong Pass and wanted to go to the Great Wall in person to ask for help. Zhu houzhao has ordered the eunuch Gu Dayong to close the door, so they have to come back. Zhu houzhao ordered that when he returned to Beijing, the minister should make his own flag account to welcome him, but Yang Tinghe refused. Zhu houzhao sent his envoys to tell him what he meant. Yang Tinghe resolutely did not listen, so he gave up. When Yang Tinghe was in power, Zhu houzhao ignored the government for a long time, and played between Datong, Xuanfu, and Yansui with confidence and boldness. Yang Tinghe did not dissuade him, but Zhu houzhao did not listen. Yang Tinghe couldn't stick to his will and kept on playing. He was depressed and dissatisfied. He called himself sick several times and asked to withdraw, but he was not allowed to do so. Eunuchs Gu Dayong, Wei bin, Zhang Xiong and their adopted sons Qian Ning and Jiang Bin were very presumptuous and arbitrary. Although Yang Tinghe was not subdued by them, he could not be punished, and he could only be a little "self satisfied". In 1519, the censor Xiao Huai denounced the rebellion of Zhu Chenhao, king of Ning. Qian Ning and others covered him up and attacked Xiao Huai. Yang Tinghe asked him to follow Xuanzong's old example of admonishing Zhu gaosui, the king of Zhao, and send his close ministers to warn him and take back his guards. However, before the envoys arrived at Zhu Chenhao, they started a rebellion. Zhu houzhao wanted to lead his troops to fight in person, while Yang Tinghe and others tried their best to dissuade him. Zhu houzhao appointed himself an official post and assumed the pseudonym of Zhu Shou. He led the army of Beijing and the frontier defense forces to go south to fight. He ordered Tinghe and his bachelor Mao Ji to stay in Beijing for protection. Later, after the completion of the Qianqing and Kunning palace projects, Zhu houzhao offered a generous reward and planned to use Yang Tinghe's son as the deputy head of the royal guards. Yang Tinghe declined. At that time, Yang Tinghe was supposed to play a leading role
