**Yan Song's image change in "Ming Dynasty 1566": an old man who shares worries for the monarch and seeks self-preservation. Old and frail, he not only has to satisfy Jiajing's greed, but also has to deal with Qingliu's attack, and his son's drag also makes him tired to deal with.
Yan Song's scheming skills seem pale and weak, which makes people think, how can such an old man in his last years be able to control the government for more than 20 years, which makes Qingliu jealous?
To understand Emperor Jiajing's way of governing the country, you first need to ** his imperial skills. After experiencing the "Renyin Palace Change", Jiajing moved to live in Xiyuan outside the Forbidden City and began a "secluded" life for more than 20 years.
However, as an emperor with a strong desire for power, Jiajing will not easily give up control of the country. He created a unique method of statecraft, that is, for the major decisions of the empire, he would not clearly announce the will, but only give vague words to let the courtiers guess what he thought.
If things are done well, it is due to the understanding of the courtiers; If things are not done well, because Jiajing has never given clear instructions, the responsibility lies entirely with the person who handled it. There are several scenes in the play that vividly illustrate this way of governing the country.
For example, at the pre-imperial financial meeting, for every overspending deficit, Jiajing will not directly say whether it can be reimbursed or not, but will only knock on the jade chime. Although everyone will think that Jiajing's jade chime voice agreed to the reimbursement, in fact, Jiajing did not make a clear statement.
If someone makes a fuss about this matter afterwards, Jiajing can completely stay out of the matter, which can be said to be perfect.
One is to hope that they can maintain chastity in their old age; The second is to put them in charge of managing their respective students, Hu Ruzhen and Zhao Zhenji, to ensure overall stability. Emperor Jiajing's imperial skills are admirable, but what is even more admirable is the quick thinking of Yan Song and others.
They can see the deep meaning from Emperor Jiajing's words, his meticulous thoughts, the old way of scheming, and the speculation of the emperor's thoughts has reached a terrifying level.
Hu Zongxian proposed a respend"Change rice to mulberry"At the time of the proposal, Yan Song once went to Jiajing to probe the wind, and Jiajing said such a paragraph for no reason. "Its government is sullen, and its people are pure; Its politics are inspected, and its people are lacking.
The mystery of people is also long-lasting. 'Is it a mistake to be lenient or wrong, and to be strict, how can the people be confused? I'm also fascinated. Are you confused? "
Lao Tzu once said that if you cook small dishes in a big country, as the leader of the country, you should do less tossing and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. And Jiajing was suspicious of the national policy of changing rice to mulberry, so Yan Song took the blame, saying that the mistakes of leniency and severity were the fault of the ministers.
However, Yan Song, who returned to the house, asked Luo Longwen to recite this passage repeatedly, and suddenly asked the emperor if he had heard the news of "destroying the embankment and flooding the fields".
Luo Longwen, as the think tank of the Yan Party, did a lot of analysis and insisted that it was absolutely impossible. However, we learned that Jiajing had already learned from Yang Jinshui's line what Yan had done.
This fully demonstrates Yan Song's wisdom. His understanding of Jiajing is deep in the bone marrow, and he knows that his boss is a greedy and selfish person, and he will never easily give up the "change from rice to mulberry" that can make a lot of money, so Jiajing's "leniency theory" must have other meanings.
The smart Yan Song immediately thought of "destroying the embankment and flooding the fields". In just one paragraph, Yan Song can understand Jiajing's thoughts, he is really a treacherous guy. While thinking about it, I couldn't help but think: Jiajing always let his courtiers guess his wishes, thinking that those who can understand and implement his wishes are excellent talents.
