Yan Song: The unparalleled skill behind the conspiracy.
When many people criticize Yan Song as a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people, few people delved into the reason why he became the first powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty. The reason why Yan Song was able to preside over the government for a long time was inseparable from his unique skills, and no one could replace these two skills.
1. Outstanding skills in adversity.
Yan Song was active in the period of Emperor Jiajing, an era that was not the peak of his career. Although Emperor Jiajing was born as a vassal king, he was pampered since he was a child and did not know much about the suffering of the people. After he ascended the throne, he indulged in cultivating immortals, lacked the skills to govern the country, and his decisions were often based on personal interests, and the ministers were suppressed at the slightest dissent.
Under such leadership, if you want to gain a foothold in officialdom, you must display your skills and seek opportunities for yourself. And the reason why Yan Song was able to get the opportunity was precisely because his boss, the leader of Emperor Jiajing, was quite confused.
2. Irreplaceable personal value.
Although Emperor Jiajing was unscrupulous, in feudal society, his power was unmatched, so there were endless people who flattered him. Yan Song has gained the trust and respect of Emperor Jiajing for more than 20 years, not only because of Emperor Jiajing's prostitution, but also because Yan Song has two skills that no one can match.
First, Yan Song's outstanding talent.
Yan Song's talent was unmatched at that time, especially the Qingci he wrote for Emperor Jiajing, which was a talisman used in Taoism, and no one could match. Emperor Jiajing needed a large number of green words in the process of cultivating immortals, and one of the main tasks of the cabinet was to write green words. Yan Song's talent is outstanding, and his green words are not only magnificent, but also very euphemistic and moving, which is deeply loved by Emperor Jiajing.
In order to cater to Emperor Jiajing, many ** have written green words, and the competition is extremely fierce. However, Yan Song's ability to stand out and be recognized by Emperor Jiajing is enough to prove that he does have irreplaceable true skills.
The second is that Yan Song is good at softness.
It is not enough to cater to Emperor Jiajing by writing green words, but also need to be good at speech and life. Yan Song is such a person who can take the art of softness to the extreme, but does not make people feel numb. That's another of his skills.
Yan Song's femininity is mainly reflected in his loyalty to Emperor Jiajing. From the time he was promoted to the rank of squire of the Ministry of Rites until he presided over the cabinet for 20 years, Yan Song was always loyal to Emperor Jiajing and obeyed his words. In order to be able to deal with the affairs assigned by Emperor Jiajing at any time, he even set up his home outside the palace of Emperor Jiajing, standing by at any time, showing a high degree of loyalty.
A leader not only needs his subordinates to be capable, but also needs his subordinates to be loyal to him. Yan Song's loyalty for decades is really commendable.
Epilogue. The reason why Yan Song was able to become a generation of traitors was because of his outstanding ability in adversity and his irreplaceable personal value. His outstanding talent and skill in femininity have left an indelible mark on the stage of history. However, when understanding Yan Song's official methods, we must not follow his traitorous ways. Individuals can be mediocre, but they should not be caught up in things that bring disaster to the country and the people.
Yan Song: A master of scheming or a traitor to the country?
The above in-depth analysis of the reasons why Yan Song became the first powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty, highlighting his unique skills and personal value in the face of adversity. However, there has always been controversy over Yan Song's evaluation in the long history.
First of all, the text emphasizes Yan Song's outstanding skills under the confused leadership of Emperor Jiajing. Under the rule of Emperor Jiajing, the eunuchs were autocratic, and it was difficult for hundreds of officials to display their talents, which led to Yan Song and others maintaining their status by currying favor with the emperor. This made Yan Song's skills stand out in the political atmosphere at the time. However, as mentioned in the article, Emperor Jiajing's leadership was not rational, and his preferences became the object of flattery, rather than a pragmatic policy. This style of leadership, perhaps one of the causes of the social unrest at the time, also planted the seeds of disaster.
Secondly, the article analyzes Yan Song's two unmatched skills: outstanding talent and good at femininity. Yan Song's talent for green words was indeed unparalleled at the time, however, this talent was used to cater to the emperor's personal tastes rather than serve the people of the country. is good at the art of softness, which makes him repeatedly successful in power schemes. However, whether the use of this kind of femininine technique is truly for the country and the people is a question worth pondering. Yan Song's loyalty was largely based on self-interest, and his skills served more of his position in the imperial court than his governance for the country and the people.
Finally, for historical figures like Yan Song, while evaluating his skills, we should also carefully consider his role in the historical process. Yan Song's success in power plotting undoubtedly left him a place, but at the same time, he also became one of the banes of the Ming Dynasty. His reputation as a master of power and scheming is also accompanied by the stain of disaster to the country and the people. When evaluating historical figures, we need to look at their contributions and mistakes more comprehensively, and not be one-sidedly superstitious about the brilliance of individual skills.
Overall, Yan Song's skills did play a huge role in the political environment at that time, but whether what he did was truly for the country and the people, and the harm it brought, are all issues that need to be pondered. History is a mirror, and through reflection on history, we can better face the challenges of the present.
