杨震 / Yang Zhen (late Han)

杨震 / Yang Zhen enters the wiki through Hanji 914 as the family-reputation figure behind 杨琦’s exchange with 汉灵帝. When Yang Qi answers Ling’s comparison with Emperor Huan too directly for the ruler’s taste, Ling calls him a stubborn descendant of Yang Zhen.

The episode also recounts the omen-like burial story in which a large bird appears at Yang Zhen’s coffin and cries until burial is complete. In this source, the story functions less as a full Yang Zhen biography than as a moral-family marker: Ling can mock Yang Qi through the same reputation that makes Yang Qi’s direct answer legible.
