He is Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, a traitor of the Ming Dynasty. He is the second generation of officials, greedy and decadent, but he is not a dude. He is cunning, witty, knowledgeable, knowledgeable, familiar with laws and regulations, familiar with economic affairs and full of energy. The most amazing thing is that he is good at trying to figure out and repay the emperor's mind and won the emperor's favor. Therefore, he was called the first gifted scholar in the Ming Dynasty. Don't believe me, the following three things have to make people admit Yan Shifan's cunning.
One day, Emperor Jiajing issued an imperial edict at night and asked how to deal with a thorny matter. The Cabinet was the secretary of Emperor Jiajing and was responsible for drafting the ballot papers. At that time, Yan Song and Xu Jie, who were on duty in the Cabinet, racked their brains and repeatedly considered the amendments, but they still felt inappropriate. Finally, the boss, Emperor Jiajing, urged them to hurry up, so they had to crustily skin of head and submit the draft of handling opinions, but Emperor Jiajing was very dissatisfied and asked them to draft it again quickly. They were really desperate, so they sent a flying horse to Yan Shifan for advice. Soon, Yan Shifan's reply came. They submitted the reply according to the draft, and the emperor was very satisfied. Since then, Yan Song and other cabinet ministers have been handed over to Yan Shifan because of problems, and they have always been appreciated by the emperor. So, does Yan Shifan have it? Ge Lao? Title, not the old cabinet, but the exercise of the functions and powers of the old cabinet.
Emperor Jiajing likes reading books on classics and history. If there is anything he doesn't understand, he will write it on a piece of paper with a brush, and let Yan Song and other cabinet ministers on duty explain it. He is still waiting for a reply. One day, a similar inquiry from Emperor Jiajing came again, and the minister on duty looked puzzled and at a loss. However, Yan Song comforted the people and sent a flying horse to Xiangfu, demanding an immediate answer from Yan Shifan. Yan Shifan immediately pointed out that this language appeared on the first page of a book, explained it, and then immediately returned it. Yan Song and others presented them to Jiajing according to their explanations and attached books. Emperor Jiajing was very happy after seeing it.
Yan Shifan's energy is amazing. Although he is busy with business, he still drinks and socializes, and has many concubines and is full of energy. Even if he is drunk, he can handle all kinds of problems. Sometimes Yan Song has something important to ask, so he wraps his head in a hot towel several times and wakes up soon. Moreover, he has no alcohol state at all, writes like a god, and can properly handle problems every time. So, during Yan Song's reign, it spread inside and outside Beijing? Big prime minister, little prime minister? Statement.
Thus, Yan Shifan was the first person in the Ming Dynasty? Ghost talent? The title is well deserved. It's just that such a smart person didn't use his intelligence in the right direction. If you do more injustice, you will die, but if you are clever, you will be mistaken by cleverness. In the forty-fourth year of Jiajing, Yan Shifan was impeached by the suggestion and was beheaded at the age of fifty-four.
