There are people who can be endured in the world, and there are people who can't be endured. The old man has been in the abyss for more than 20 years, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds have been blocked for the emperor. If the emperor really wants to abandon the old minister this time, I am afraid that there will be no one to shelter the emperor from the wind and rain in the future!
Ming Dynasty 1566" Yan Song.
Jiajing has cultivated the Tao for more than 20 years, and it has been more than 20 years to appoint Yan Song as the first assistant. The Yan Party is greedy for countless ink, misleading the country and the people, and many ** greedy for ink and national money headed by Yan Song, the court knows the specific situation, and Jiajing also knows, so why can Jiajing still appoint Yan Song for 20 years, causing the entire Ming Dynasty to complain and not deal with the Yan Party?
In other words, how can Lao Yan Song sit firmly in the cabinet for 20 years?What is the reason why the loyal people of the imperial court and Qingliu have attacked many times and have not fallen?
Let's take a closer look at this cabinet chief assistant and Yan party leader!
1. Appoint national scholars for the Ming DynastyZhejiang's retrial confession was sent to the capital, Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Lu Fang Daming were punished by Jiajing to varying degrees because of their private "persuasion to drink", Yan Song was ordered to recuperate at home, and Xu Jie lived in the cabinet duty room, and he actually took care of it!
However, Xu Jie was unruly, and when he saw Zhang Juzheng, he could plan in the secret room in response to the changes in the court situation, so Yan Song had to take action against Xu Jie's behavior - to meet Yan Shifan.
Chen Hong wanted to take Lu Fang's position, but he Xu Jie, he didn't have the courage right now. Just let him sit, and he couldn't sit steadily. Any idea why?Even if he gave up the position of the first assistant of the cabinet to Xu Jie, he would not be able to sit steadily, why is this?
There is only one:The Ming Dynasty is still inseparable from Yan Song!
Yan Song's people occupy a lot of important positions, if Yan Song falls now, then many ** belonging to the Yan Party will also fall with Yan Song, such as Hu Zongxian who resisted the Japanese in the southeast.
After the fall of the Yan Party, Yan Song met Jiajing and took out a list:
Some people deserve to be punished by heaven, and some people hope that the emperor will protect them!These criminals are used for the emperor to be a national soldier, they bear the safety of my Ming Dynasty on their shoulders, and they bear the heavy responsibility of my Ming Dynasty, and some people are still carrying the emperor's messengers, and many things have to be done by them, and only they can do it!Hu Zongxian's name is impressively at the forefrontHu Zongxian is a national soldier under his Yan Song!Yan Song has been able to sit firmly in the first assistant for 20 years, not to mention the rest, there is still a certain amount of credit and hard work!
Second, willing to take the blame for JiajingIn the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, there was no snow in many provinces in one winter, and after the Spring Festival, Jiajing fasted and worshiped the sky alone in Yuxi Palace, and waited until the fifteenth day of the first month, and finally it snowed heavily.
How did Yan Song answer at the Imperial Finance Meeting?
There was no snow in several provinces in the winter last year, and if there was no snow today, I am afraid that all of us would have to excuse ourselves and resign. The emperor eats clothes and eats at night. Heavy snowfall. The emperor is here alone to fast and worship heaven. This snow was paid by the emperor, and it was the emperor's sincerity that moved the heavens.There is no snow in the sky, this is the fault of the courtiers, it is the courtiers who did not manage the Ming Dynasty well, and it has nothing to do with the emperor. Now that it is snowing, it is the credit of the emperor and the sincerity of the emperor.
Later, Shen Yishi went to buy the fields of the victims under the sign of the Weaving Bureau, and the matter spread to the palace, Jiajing thought that this was Yan Shifan's advice, so he called Yan Song and his son for questioning, saying that the deficit in the treasury was ...... caused by Yan Song's father and son
Everyone here knows that the reason for the deficit in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty isBecause of the Ming ancestral system,But now Jiajing has made it clear that he has pushed the pot to Yan Song and his son, and naturally Yan Song and his son need to carry this cauldron on their backs:
Thousands of mistakes are the minister's fault, all Yan Shifan's fault, as long as the holy name can be clarified in case, the minister and Yan Shifan will ask the emperor to punish the crime now!In a word:The fault belongs to the courtiers, and the credit belongs to the emperor!If you want to sit firmly in the chair of the cabinet chief, it is also the responsibility of the cabinet chief assistant who cannot shirk and cannot shirk the blame for Jiajing!
3. Be willing to make money for JiajingJiajing's forty-year Ming Dynasty treasury deficit is as high as 14 million taels**, and we have to find a way to make up for this big hole, after all, Jiajing is still waiting to repair Wanshou Palace Renshou Palace, and still waiting to cultivate the Tao, the meaning of the existence of the Yan Party is to make money for Jiajing:
Simply let half of Zhejiang's existing farmland be converted into mulberry fields, and more than 10 million taels of silk can be produced in a year, that is to say, 200,000 more silk horses can be produced.No matter what the original intention of changing rice to mulberry, Yan Song's current task is to open up sources and reduce expenditure for the Ming Dynasty, and find a way to make money for Jiajing and the treasury
The retrial confession of the Zhejiang corruption case was burned by Jiajing in front of Yan Song and Xu Jie, and the strategy of changing rice to mulberry in Zhejiang was also yellow, and the Ming treasury still had no money, and Yan Song had to think about it for Jiajing - make money!
So Yan Song proposed to let Yan Maoqing go south to inspect the two Huai salts, and let Jiajing and the hundred officials of the imperial court pass this hurdle:
Changing rice to mulberry is not human, and the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau has made 500,000 pieces of silk this year, and the expenses of the southeast anti-Japanese war and various ministries have been exhausted. The minister asked Yan Maoqing to go south to inspect the salt, clear the salt tax, and use it for state use.Although Qingliu is frugal on the surface, he can't get any money for the Ming Dynasty, and Jiajing still needs Yan Song's existenceMake money for Jiajing, make money for the Ming Dynasty!Fourth, willing to shelter Jiajing from the wind and rainIt is precisely because of Jiajing's cultivation that Yan Song has the position of first assistant, why?
Because Yan Song can shield Jiajing from the wind and rain outside the palace, so that Jiajing can cultivate with peace of mind and not be disturbed by the outside world!
The four admonitions of Vietnam and ChinaThe third son of Wuwu"Why was you killed?They participated in Jiajing's participation in Yan Song's father and son's greed for the country's money, misleading the country and the people, but these Jiajing all knew about it, because Jiajing needed Yan Song to shelter themselves from the wind and rain to ensure that they could cultivate in peace and not be disturbed.
The three sons of the four admonitions of Yuezhong have been participating in Yan Song, Yan Shifan, and they have misled the country and the peopleIsn't it another attempt to show that Jiajing doesn't know anyone and is a faint gentleman?In Jiajing's view, aren't these just clear streams overflowing the mountains......
Yan Song and the others have Jiajing's attitude, how can they not deal with these loyal ministers and Qingliu ......
The existence of Yan Song, and even the entire Yan Party, is that it is necessary to shelter Jiajing from the wind and rain and ensure that Jiajing is stable and cultivated, which is the meaning of the existence of the entire Yan Party, which is also the reason why Yan Song has been able to sit firmly in the first auxiliary for 20 years!
