Wei Zi was defeated by the emperor.

Because Yang Sheng 'an opposed the king's opinion, the king was very angry and spanked him in public. When it comes to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many people will want its well-known opening words "Rolling the Yangtze River to the East ...". And the author of this word, Yang Shengan, did have a rough life and lost face in front of everyone.

After Zhu Houzhao's death, his cousin succeeded to the throne because he had no children. Later, he was called Ming Shizong. However, after Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, he wanted to honor his ancestors and had to let his father take the imperial examination. Because Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty inherited Zhu Houzhao's throne, as an imperial examiner, he should respect Zhu Houzhao's ancestors. So this proposal was opposed by many ministers, including Yang Shengan.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "I have to die if I want to die." Under feudal rule, everything should be subject to the emperor's words. Therefore, it will not come to a good end if it goes against the king, so this game called "Great Etiquette" ended in the failure of many courtiers. In this "big etiquette" dispute, more than 300 courtiers were either killed with sticks or unjustly killed in prison, while Yang Sheng 'an was beaten in public although he did not die.

After such a thing, in the later officialdom, Yang Shengan gradually saw through the cold world and left the court. Since then, Yang Sheng 'an has spread culture to various places by virtue of his talent and ability, which has greatly developed the culture of many regions and brought a very splendid civilization. As a scholar, Yang Sheng 'an can really realize his value with his talents, although he failed to show his talents in officialdom, which is admirable.
