杨赐 / Yang Ci (late Han)

杨赐 / Yang Ci (late Han) enters through Hanji 931 as one of the senior officials moved by 王允’s imprisonment after the 张让 retaliation case. The source transcript renders the name as “杨次”; this page normalizes it to Yang Ci because the role and late-Han setting match the senior official 杨赐.

The episode gives Yang Ci a narrow but important function. Alongside 何进 and 袁隗, he helps rescue Wang Yun from the death edge, making Wang Yun’s early 道德名望政治资本 visible before the later Dong Zhuo branch.
