After transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty, Yang Fan became a seventh-rank Supervising Secretary. If Zhu Yuanzhang had him executed, he could return to modern times and reach the pinnacle of life. Yang Fan was delighted, and began a reckless campaign of remonstrating until he got himself killed.
Today, he impeached a minister. Tomorrow, the crown prince. The day after, Zhu Yuanzhang. And the day after that, all the princes!
When Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to enfeoff the vassal kings, Yang Fan opposed him.
When Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ban maritime trade, Yang Fan disagreed.
When Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to launch a northern expedition, Yang Fan impeached him.
Zhu Yuanzhang: “You good-for-nothing! You think I don't dare kill you?”
Yang Fan: “Please, hurry up and kill me. I really just want to die.”
