When it comes to traitors, we always think of those middle-aged men with deep eyes and lewd and capable. However, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a traitorous villain who showed his edge since he entered the court and became the pinnacle of the sea - Yan Shifan.
As soon as he entered the officialdom, Yan Shifan was like a fish in water, and became a veritable "second generation of traitors", although he was not directly an official, but he relied on his father's power to show his strength in the court. Yan Shifan's mansion is even more beautiful, with as many as 27 of them, young and beautiful. However, Yan Shifan is not an ordinary traitor, and the "three stunts" he has are talked about.
A psychic master who knows people's hearts.
Unlike other second-generation officials, Yan Shifan was born in a family of eunuchs and is very good at understanding people's hearts. When he was not an official in the court, he was able to guess other people's thoughts through a few words, a look or a gesture, so he successfully attracted a large number of children of the family, showing his intelligent and capable side.
Yan Shifan's main target was the emperor Jiajing at that time. Unlike other ** people who are difficult to guess about the emperor's psychology, Yan Shifan observed Jiajing's preferences and psychology early, and can always show it at the right time to win Jiajing's approval. Yan Shifan's unimpeded official fortunes, in addition to the credit of his father Yan Song, he himself also contributed to the emperor's psychological grasp.
In that era, sometimes even Yan Song and other leaders and ministers could not clarify the meaning of Emperor Jiajing, and the instructions sent to them were repeatedly rejected. In order to conform to Jiajing's intentions, Yan Shifan not only observed meticulously, but also gave appropriate suggestions at critical moments. When other ministers encounter problems, they will also come to Yan Shifan for advice.
However, it doesn't always go so smoothly. Yan Shifan is a good drinker, and sometimes when he helps, he is drunk and unconscious. At this time, Yan Song would ask someone to bring a large wooden basin, fill it with boiling water, soak it in a towel and wrap it around Yan Shifan's head. Surprisingly, Yan Shifan will wake up after putting on a hot towel a few times, and he will be in a better state, and he can immediately give a reply that is most in line with Jiajing's heart.
Unforgettable, amazing memory.
In addition to being good at guessing the holy accident, Yan Shifan does have extraordinary real talent and learning, so he is known as "the first ghost talent of the Ming Dynasty". He is able to remember the books he has read, and he can immediately grasp the meaning of the books and draw inferences.
Emperor Jiajing liked to read all kinds of historical materials and ancient books, and when he encountered something he couldn't understand, he would write it down and order someone to give it to the ministers on duty. Because some of the books were so remote that even the ministers had never heard of them, the ministers often got into a problem. However, whenever this moment came, Yan Shifan became their last straw.
Yan Song would arrange for a servant to send the question to Yan Shifan as soon as possible, so that he could reply immediately. Yan Shifan can not only answer questions quickly, but also accurately point out which book, which volume, which page, and which line the question comes from. After these replies were sent back to Yan Song, he followed the prompts to find the books, and each time he did not say a word.
Therefore, Yan Shifan's attention did not forget to indirectly save the lives of many ministers and save them from being blamed by the emperor.
Energetic traitor.
There are many contradictions in Yan Shifan's body, the most curious of which is his exuberant energy. Generally speaking, to maintain a full energy every day, you need to get enough sleep, exercise moderately, and have a regular life, avoiding excessive alcohol consumption, etc.
However, Yan Shifan is the opposite. He was an alcoholic, often indistinct from east to east. He is also very greedy for beauty, and has as many as 27 wives and concubines in his name, and countless maids. Yan Shifan was extravagant by nature, fond of gold, silver and jewelry, and sang songs at home every night, while he enjoyed himself in the midst of a group of wives and concubines.
As Yan Song grew older, as the prime minister, he was no longer able to bear the cumbersome of government affairs, Yan Shifan dealt with his father's affairs while dealing with the emperor's various whims as the "big celebrity" in front of Jiajing. In the eyes of others, such a life is tiring enough, how can there be time for lascivious pleasures?
However, Yan Shifan carried the concubines into the house room by room, and the lights were bright, giving the answer. He really had the energy to stay up all night to enjoy it.
Other ministers may have expressed dissatisfaction, but Yan Shifan, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, did not care. As a master of time management, he is able to balance the emperor's mind and the sound of dogs and horses, and the emperor's favor continues unabated. After a long time, no one dared to express dissatisfaction anymore.
Jail.
Yan Shifan's scenery lasted for a long time, but perhaps it was the long-term control of the government that gave him the illusion that he actually extended his greedy hand to the land that should have belonged to the emperor.
In the end, Yan Shifan was furious because of his encroachment on the land known as "the air of an emperor". He couldn't tolerate Yan Shifan's hand reaching out to him, so he ordered him to be sent to prison.
After being imprisoned, Yan Shifan, even if his hands and eyes were all over the sky in the past, he couldn't show it in the cell where he was deliberately cared for. In the end, he was beheaded and his house was raided, and the people in the city came one after another, feeling that Yan Shifan's three stunts were used in treacherous things, but they had to sigh for his end.
This traitor, who was once known as the "first ghost genius of the Ming Dynasty", failed to escape the fate of *** after all.
Yan Shifan, a traitor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, emerged in the court with his unique techniques and outstanding intelligence, and became a footnote to a unique history. His three stunts, namely being knowledgeable, unforgettable, and energetic, make people can't help but have a strong interest in this figure who rises and falls in the sea.
First of all, Yan Shifan's ability to know people's hearts is breathtaking. Born in a family of eunuchs, he has a unique insight in the court, and through meticulous observation, he can easily grasp the thoughts of others. This allowed him to build an extensive network of contacts in the court and lay a solid foundation for his political career. He is different from the ordinary second generation of officials, but shows outstanding intelligence, which makes people look at his political skills.
Secondly, Yan Shifan's ability to remember is also amazing. Not only is he able to memorize the books he has read, but he is also able to quickly grasp the meaning of the books and draw inspiration from them. This ability made him an indispensable intellectual reciprocal for Emperor Jiajing, solving the problems of courtiers when they were trying to understand complex historical and ancient texts. Yan Shifan's unforgettable skills showed his outstanding knowledge and Xi ability, making him unique in the court.
The most eye-catching thing is Yan Shifan's exuberant energy. Under normal circumstances, maintaining a vigorous mental state requires adequate sleep and a regular life, however, Yan Shifan is still able to maintain a high level of energy at the cost of alcoholism and a complicated married life. This peculiar phenomenon aroused people's curiosity, and also allowed him to remain alive in the political arena for a long time, becoming a presence that is difficult to ignore.
However, good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. Yan Shifan's treacherous methods eventually led to his downfall. His covetousness of the Emperor's land drew the wrath of the Jiajing Emperor and ended his storied political career in prison. This ending is undoubtedly a typical case of ***, which makes people feel a little comfort in the justice of history.
On the whole, Yan Shifan's life is full of legends, and his political methods and intellect have left a deep mark in the long river of history. However, his final outcome also serves as a warning that when any treacherous scheme is exposed, good and evil will eventually be duly rewarded.
