Yang Rong is alert, intelligent, knowledgeable and talented. He conformed to the emperor's will when evaluating and discussing the affairs of various departments, so he got a generous salary and was promoted and reused again and again. In the fifth year of Yongle (1407), Yang Rong was ordered to go to Gansu to plan military affairs. Everywhere he went, he carefully observed the mountains and rivers, observed the people's feelings and reviewed military facilities such as castles. After coming back, he played in Wuyingtang, "Do you know whether the border will be virtuous or not, the danger of Eritrea is easy to approach, and the enemy's situation is good or bad?" The emperor was very happy. At that time, it was midsummer, and he personally cut the melon and rewarded it, which shows that he was deeply loved. In addition, he is also very talented in the military. He went on patrol with the emperor many times and did not hesitate to deal with things. In sixteen years, he took over the administration of imperial academy, and the emperor appreciated and trusted him more. However, Yang Rong's continued popularity has aroused the envy of many ministers. So, they managed to alienate Yang Rong from the emperor and recommended him as a drink offering. The emperor said, "Of course I know he is capable, but it is difficult to find someone to replace him." Ministers are afraid to speak again at this time. Later, many times, he was in charge of all military affairs, and he could handle many difficult problems. The emperor called him "Yang" without his name and gave him the highest reward. The emperor always went to the fortress five times, during which the soldiers starved and logistics could not be supplied, and the death toll reached 23/ 10. When the army reached the Muir River in Lana, there were still no enemies. The emperor asked for countermeasures, and all the ministers were passive to Nuo Nuo, Nuo Nuo. Yang Rong and Jin Youzi leisurely proposed to transfer soldiers back to the DPRK, which was adopted by the emperor. On the way back, the emperor died. Eunuch Ma Yun and others are at a loss. At the critical moment, Yang Rong was secretly summoned to discuss with Jin Youzi. They thought that the Imperial Army was far away from the capital, so there was no news of the public funeral. They buried it according to the ceremony, cast it into the inner coffin with tin, loaded it in the car, and served it as before. The military orders were stricter, so that others could not speculate and doubt it. If someone asks for something else, or reports it to the prince at once, they immediately object and say, "It was a lie for the emperor to call it an imperial edict when he was alive and buried in the sky." So I listed the month, day and last day of the emperor's death to convey the general meaning of the throne and beat the prince. Then, he flew to the capital to attend the funeral, and then he was ordered by the prince to discuss the funeral with Zhouyi and Yang Shiqi.
Injong ascended the throne, and was awarded and richly rewarded for Yang Rong's outstanding contribution. Be promoted to Minister of Industry and receive the salary of three positions. He was awarded the highest prize for his decision-making work in quelling the rebellion. Yingzong acceded to the throne and was promoted to a surname. In the fifth year of orthodoxy (1440), Yang Rong requested the return of ancestral graves in the province. The emperor ordered eunuchs to protect him and died on his way home at the age of 70. A gift was given to Guan Taishi, posthumous title Wenmin, and awarded to the commander-in-chief handed down from generation to generation.
Yang Rong experienced four dynasties in his life, and "everything was in good order and he had a plan". Generally speaking, things are fierce and sharp, and others are not allowed to make mistakes. However, once someone annoys the emperor and causes an accident, he often tries to gently persuade him to calm things down. Therefore, he was very loved by the emperor, and his reward was always uninterrupted, and he was proud of his career. Besides, he is naturally fond of entertaining guests. Even if he is rich or expensive, he is not arrogant, and all the scholars are convinced to join him. Some people praised Yang Rong's ability to handle political affairs comparable to that of Yao Nai in Tang Dynasty.
