On the sixteenth day of the first month of the forty-first year of Jiajing, Gao Gong read out the recital of Zou Yinglong's participation in Yan Song's father and son and Jiajing's annotations in front of hundreds of officials. This means that the iceberg of the Yan Party, which has stood for 20 years, has fallen into full swing, and the era of Yan Song has come to an end.
All of a sudden, the ** who clinged to the Yan family's father and son, everyone was in danger.
On the contrary, Yan Song, who was in the center of the turmoil, seemed unusually calm, and when Xu Jie was ordered to invite him into the palace, he still did not forget to bring Jiajing the new pickles from Liuxinju as in previous years.
In the process, there was also a small episode:Yan Song wanted to give the boss of Liuxinju a plaque, but was refused.
When I first watched the TV series "Ming Dynasty 1566", I always had doubts about this plotWhen life and death are at stake, life may not be saved, how can Yan Song still be in the mood to write for others?
Besides, according to Yan Song, everyone has sent him pickles for 20 years, and he has repeatedly asked him to write an inscription, but he doesn't write early or late, and he has to wait until the moment of the fall to write
Obviously, this is a bit of a stretch.
It wasn't until I rewatched this drama and savored the situation at the time and the final trend of the incident that I understood the real reason why Yan Song had to inscribe Liuxinju-It is not a whim, nor is it revenge on the other party's attitude of "people go to tea and cool", but a very clever way of self-preservation.
Before dawn, according to Jiajing's meaning, Xu Jie took Zou Yinglong's recital and came to see Yan Song.
As the "winner", Xu Jie did not show a trace of pride, but came with a heavy face and a cloth shirt, and when he arrived at the door of Yan Song's study, he asked to report according to the rules before he was willing to enter.
There are two reasons why Xu Jie is still polite at this time:
First: for Jiajing to see.
It can be seen from the play that the whole Yan Mansion is guarded by the Zhenfu Division, which means that every word Xu Jie and Yan Song, and every action of the two, will reach Jiajing's ears.
At this time, if Xu Jie, who changed his previous humility and prudence, and came to Yan Song with a high spirit, it would inevitably leave a bad impression on Jiajing - you Xu Jie, you don't even have the ability to be happy and angry, and you have the face of a villain who has fallen into a well, and you should be the first assistant.
Second: leave a line for doing things.
Although Yan Dang has fallen, Yan Song has not yet been convicted, and besides, judging from Jiajing's action of summoning Yan Song into the palace, Xu Jie knows that Jiajing still has feelings for Yan Song, and it is even likely that he does not want Yan Song's life.
In this case, whether it is out of prudence, or to leave some dignity for the "old opponent", or to avoid the label of "villain", Xu Jie will not show off his might in front of Yan Song.
In other words, after the fall of the Yan Party, even if Xu Jie is happy in his heart, he still has to pretend on the surface, which is also one of the necessary "cultivation" of the superiors.
Entering the house, Xu Jie first supported Yan Song, who wanted to get up, and hesitated for a moment before explaining his intention
"Elder Ge should know everything, right?This is Zou Yinglong, the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, and they are in the East Building, and the emperor asked me to bring them, please take a look at them. ”
Subtext: I'm not here to see your jokes, the emperor didn't let me come, and I don't want to come.
As soon as Xu Jie's words fell, Yan Song took the song with one hand, and asked seemingly casually
"Has Elder Xu Ge seen it?”
This question is very interesting, Yan Song is actually asking, Zou Yinglong's performance is a small action behind your Xu Jie and Qingliu.
Obviously, Xu Jie understood Yan Song's voice, and only replied after a slight pause:
"That's what I just saw. ”
I saw it before I came to see you, and I didn't do it.
Of course, Xu Jie would not tell Yan Song that this recital was presented to Jiajing by him "desperately" the night before. Fight and fight, fight and fight, but the work on the face must be done enough, this is Xu Jie's way of being an official for more than ten years, this kind of thing tearing his face in public is too level, he Xu Jie's not doing it, not to mention that it is this special period, if you can be vague, you can be vague.
Yan Song is losing, but he is not stupid, he naturally won't believe Xu Jie's words, who is Zou Yinglong, he is the same as Spiegel in his heart, but the matter has come to this, it doesn't matter if Xu Jiecheng admits it or not, what he really wants to express is in the next sentence:
"If you see it, I won't watch it. ”
It doesn't matter if you're actually it, it's a fact that you replaced me, so you, the "elder", have seen it, and I don't have to look at it, and now the power and position are in your hands, you have the final say.
Yan Song's knowingly asked operation, what did he mean?
The purpose is clear: to show weakness.
He wants to tell Xu Jie, I, Yan Song, have fallen to such a field today, all thanks to you Xu Jie, but I don't resent you, nor do I hate you, it's because I'm inferior in chess, my skills are not as good as others, I lost, I admit it, you won, so there is no need for you, the winner, to step on me, the old loser.
It was also in order to show sympathy for the weak, Yan Song deliberately stretched out his hand in front of Xu Jie, and after Xu Jie's hesitation for a moment and handed his hand over, he held Xu Jie's hand and added with true feelings:
"It's all up to the elder of the pavilion. ”
Some people may ask, is it necessary for Yan Song to show weakness to Xu Jie, and be sympathetic?
Yes, that's great!
First, Xu Jie came by order, and the Yan Mansion was all from the palaceOnce Yan Song shows rejection or dissatisfaction with Xu Jie, it will make Jiajing think that he Yan Song is not satisfied with Jiajing's decision to "fall strict".And then rise up the heart of "kill everything", after all, the crime has not yet been decided, and it is a moment to struggle.
And Jiajing deliberately sent Xu Jie to find Yan Song, which also had the meaning of testing Yan Song's attitude, which the shrewd Yan Song could naturally think of.
Second, the Yan Party fell, and the follow-up finishing work naturally fell on Qingliu led by Xu Jie, who showed weakness to Xu Jie at this time, indicating that he recognized it when he was oldIt is so that Xu Jie can be a little "merciful" and not continue to stab in front of Jiajing.
To put it bluntly, although Yan Dang has fallen, Yan Song doesn't want to die yet.
Seeing that Yan Song put his posture so low, Xu Jie had to "express", or how ruthless he was, so Xu Jie said to Yan Song with a sympathetic face:
"They're going too far in the East Building. Twenty years of prime minister, the elder has no merit and hard work, the emperor will not forget, and we will not forget. ”Xu Jie's words in this passage are very level: It is because your son Yan Shifan has gone too farState the factsIt has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with me and the emperor, it's not that I have to grab the position of your first assistant, and it's not that the emperor "employs people to face forward, and doesn't need people to face backwards",(Leave yourself behind, get rid of the leadershipYou still have a lot to offer in you, but you're being burdened by your son (Show attitude
After listening to Xu Jie's words, Yan Song first made an exclamation, and then shifted the topic to what he was most concerned about:
"What do I do?Will I go to prison, or will Xu Ge Lao escort me out of Beijing?”Since Xu Jie's order came to the house, Yan Song has been waiting for Jiajing's "verdict", and now that what should be said is finished, what should be performed is also finished, so naturally he has to get to the point.
It's just that Xu Jie's next words made Yan Song see a new turnaround, and it was precisely because he realized that things still had a turnaround, so there was a follow-up drama that Yan Song wanted to inscribe Liuxinju.
Seeing Yan Song asking how to deal with him, Xu Jie replied:
"It shouldn't be like that, the emperor called me here to ask me to invite the elder into the palace. ”Yan Song asked:
"The emperor is still willing to see me?”Xu Jie replied:
"Yes, the emperor was still thinking about the elder last night. ”Xu Jie's words obviously surprised Yan Song, he thought that Xu Jie was here to announce the results, but he didn't think about it, he came to pass the word, which made Yan Song's mind come alive again
Yan Song has followed Jiajing for decades, and Shoufu has been doing it for twenty years, except for Lu Fang, he knows Jiajing's temperament best, and at this time, Jiajing summoned him to the palace, which only explained one problem:Jiajing didn't want to kill him, at least so far, he didn't have any intention of killing him.
This is easy to do, as long as Jiajing still thinks about the feelings of the monarch and ministers, he takes the opportunity to "behave well", not only his life can be saved, but Yan Shifan's life may be left.
Thinking of this, Yan Songji started from his heartFirst, he determined the time to enter the palace to Xu Jie, and after knowing that he could go whenever he wanted, he made a small request:
"Then please wait a while. The emperor likes to eat the pickles of Liuxinju, and every season of new pickles, Weichen has to send a jar to the emperor, today is the sixteenth day of the first month, and Liuxinju will send spring pickles at dawn. ”Xu Jie had no reason to refuse, so he promised to wait with Yan Song.
After a long time, Boss Zhao of Liuxinju appeared in Yanfu with twenty jars of pickles:
"Xiaomin knocked to see the elder of the pavilion, this year, the pickled pickles of all kinds of pickles in the shop, a total of twenty jars, were sent by the order of the elder of the pavilion. The twenty jars of pickles newly pickled by the small shop this year were sent to you according to the instructions of the elder Ge. ”There are two details to note here:
One is, time.
When Xu Jie arrived at Yan's Mansion, it was still dark, and when Boss Zhao arrived at Yan's Mansion, it was obviously dawn, which showed that Yan Song and Xu Jie had been waiting for a long time.
The second is Boss Zhao's words.
Yan Song said that the pickles from Liuxinju are sent on the initiative every season, but this time Boss Zhao said yes"On the orders of the elder of the pavilion",It was also deliberately emphasized"According to the orders of the elder."
This shows that the fall of the Yan Party has spread throughout the capital, and for fear of being implicated, Boss Zhao didn't plan to continue to deliver pickles at all, and the reason why he finally came was probably because Xu Jiesaw that the waiting time was too long, and guessed that Boss Zhao didn't want to come, so he privately sent someone to pass the word in his name.
And the "Pavilion Elder" in his mouth also refers to Xu Jie, not Yan Song.
Boss Zhao's reaction is actually not difficult to explain
I wanted to talk to Yan Song before, it's true, after all, everyone wants to have a relationship with powerful people, even if this relationship is 108,000 miles away, it can't be used at all;
Now he can't avoid Yan Song, which is also true, after all, Yan Dang has become a "traitorous party" approved by the emperor, and it is unprofitable and unattainable, so he naturally stays away.
When Boss Zhao entered the house, his resistance was more obvious. Yan Song called him, he didn't squeak or respond, and he didn't reluctantly answer until Xu Jie spoke.
Boss Zhao's thoughts, Yan Song doesn't know?
How could you not know!
Everyone has done it so obviously, it's almost a mess"I'm going to draw a line with you."Written on his face, Yan Song still doesn't understand something.
In fact, before Boss Zhao came, Yan Song guessed that people would not dare to come and would not come, so he said in front of Xu Jie, that he would bring pickles into the palace, the purpose was to use Xu Jie's face to call Boss Zhao over.
Only when Boss Zhao comes, the following "play" can be performed, and as for Boss Zhao not accepting his words, it was already expected by Yan Song, and what he wanted was this result.
Because of this, Yan Song, who was swept away, did not show any displeasure, and said to Boss Zhao with his own care:
"It's been more than 20 years, and it's hard for you to send me pickles several times a year, and I remember you said many times that you want to ask me to inscribe a plaque for your storefront. I'll write it to you today. ”After that, you have to pick up a pen and write.
Seeing this, Boss Zhao on the side was so frightened that he knelt down and refused:
"Xiaomin doesn't dare!The people's business run by small people and small shops, how dare they ask for an official inscription, the old man must not, never allow. ”Hearing this, Yan Song turned his head to Xu Jie with a sad face and said
"Xu Ge has seen it, how many people usually ask for a word from the old man, but they can't get it. Today, the old man gave him words in vain, and he didn't dare to ask for them. ”Seeing this scene, Xu Jie lowered his head in embarrassment.
And Yan Song said the last word to Boss Zhao:
"You go back, the old man won't bother you to send me pickles in the future, the emperor likes to eat your pickles, do business well." ”At this point, the drama of "one give and one reject" is over, and Yan Song took pickles into the palace to check the "results" of this scene.
Why do you say that sending words is a play?
Because Yan Song knew this ending from the beginning.
So why did Yan Song have to act in this play?
Not on a whim, but extremely clever self-preservation.
Yan Party fell, Yan Song has been thinking about how to save his life, on the one hand, he himself does not want to die, on the other hand, as long as he lives, Yan Shifan will most likely not die, after all, he is more than eighty, Jiajing wants to keep him alive, and he will not ask for the life of his son Yan Shifan when he is alive.
And from the moment he learned that Jiajing did not deal with him directly, but instead summoned him into the palace, Yan Song realized that whether he could save his life depended on his performance.
Now the hole cards in his hand, such as Hu Zongxian, Patrol Salt, etc., have long been played, and the only card that can still be played is the emotional card - the feelings of the monarch and the minister for twenty years.
To a certain extent, Jiajing is also a nostalgic person, which can be seen from his treatment of Lu Fang.
Yan Song is also an "old man" who Jiajing used for more than 20 years, and he solved a lot of troubles for Jiajing at his peak, and Yan Song is different from Yan Shifan, he does things in a measured manner, and he understands the holy will, if it weren't for Yan Song who is really old, Yan Dang can still stand for a few more years, so for Yan Song, Jiajing still has some feelings.
Yan Song, who understands that Jiajing is not inferior to Lu Fang, also understands that the emotional card is his only chance.
But playing the emotional card is skillful.
He couldn't just hug Jiajing's thighs and cry about how difficult it has been for him in the past 20 years, and how many swords, guns, swords, and halberds he has blocked. With Jiajing's character, it's good that he doesn't cry, but when he cries, it's easy to make Jiajing disgusted.
In this case, you need the blessing of "props", and use "props" and "performances" to achieve the goal, after all, every move of Yan Mansion is under the supervision of Jiajing, and Boss Zhao of Liuxinju is the "tool man" for Yan Song and Jiajing to fight each other, and pickles are props-
used the play of "one give away and one refuse", and the attitude of "people go to tea and cool" with Boss Zhao, highlighting his "misery";Use pickles to show Jiajing his heart, although I Yan Song was abandoned by you, but I still regard you as the sky, remember all your loves, and use both prongs to attract Jiajing's compassion.
At the same time, Yan Song's previous weakness to Xu Jie, also indirectly told Jiajing, I, Yan Song, am old, useless, and there is no threat, there is no threat, is it necessary for you to kill me?
Obviously, Yan Song's emotional card is effective, Jiajing not only did not kill him, but also spared Yan Shifan's life, so that there was a situation in which countless people were criticized for "falling strict but not falling Yan Song". (Of course, Jiajing is strict but not strict, and there are other purposes, and space is limited, please see the analysis in the next section).
From beginning to end, Yan Song understood one thing: there is only one person who can really be strict - Jiajing.
To borrow what Hu Zongxian said to Hai Rui in the play, no one can use the people Jiajing wants to use, and no one can protect the people Jiajing doesn't want to use.
Qingliu's so-called "attacks" are just small fights, used to meet the needs of Jiajing's subordinates and checks and balances, so Yan Song never put Xu Jie's and Qingliu in his eyes, as long as Jiajing needs him, the Ming Dynasty can't do without him, Ren Qingliu tosses, and he Yan Song doesn't move like a mountain.
In the same way, although Yan Dang has fallen now, as long as Jiajing does not move him and does not kill him, then no matter how others toss, he Yan Song can still live well.
