Yan Shifan grew up with a golden key, and his father was Yan Song under one person and above ten thousand people, so he did not have to participate in the imperial examination to become an official.
He was called the East Building, nicknamed Qing'er. If you take a closer look, do you think of "Ximen Qing", it is said that he is the historical prototype of "Ximen Qing".
He was fat and had a short neck, was blind in one eye, and had "creative" facial features. Buried beneath this unbearable exterior lies a clever head and a strong body.
First, master politics. His father worked in the cabinet, and the content of his work was "vote drafting"—writing his opinion on the chapter and then passing it on to the emperor. But his father was almost seventy years old, and his brain couldn't move anymore, so he had to ask him for help. Unexpectedly, every time Yan Shifan's views were written into the emperor's heart.
Second, be energetic. If there is an urgent matter looking for him, but just happened to run into him drunk as mud, do not panic, just soak the towel with boiling water, circle his head a few times, wait for the towel to be cold and take it off, repeat it two or three times he will be completely awake.
Third, knowledgeable and knowledgeable. The emperor liked to read history books, and when he encountered it, he wrote it on paper and asked the minister on duty to explain it to him immediately. But the ministers are not encyclopedias! Often encountered do not understand, then Yan Song quickly copied a copy, sneaked out of the door of the palace, let people bring yan Shifan as fast as possible. Yan Shifan knew at a glance which page of the book it came from and what the meaning was. The emperor received an answer from Yan Shifan, and Mao Sai suddenly opened up, happy like a child.
It was with this ability that the emperor relied heavily on him. And he began to do whatever he wanted. As long as he does not want to go along with him, he will frame him.
Official positions were clearly priced by him, and if he had money, he could become an official. Zhu Zaiyuan should have been made crown prince, but unfortunately he was not welcomed by the emperor, so Yan Shifan deliberately targeted him and did not allow The Household Department to give him a gift for three years. Zhu Zaiyuan handed Yan Shifan 1,500 taels, and Yan Shifan asked the household department to give him a replacement gift.
Yan Shifan was corrupt and bribe-taking, rich enough to be an enemy of the country, with twenty-seven concubines and countless handmaidens.
Evil has evil retribution, Yu Shilinrun arrested Yan Shifan, on what charge did he impeach him? The Three Dharma Divisions said, "Seek justice for those loyalists who died by his frame-up." Only he, Xu Jie, had already seen through everything and said, "This crime is not enough!" It was Yan Shifan who framed Zhongliang, but it was the emperor who killed Zhongliang. Let's have some fatal ones: First, collude with Wokou, anyway, his buddy Luo Wenlong is Wokou has been "stone hammered". Second, privately train troops and have ulterior motives. Third, the piece of land where he built the house has a royal spirit. This crime hit the nail on the head, and the emperor gritted his teeth in anger when he heard it.
On that day, the people were elated, they brought good wine and snacks, and watched Yan Shifan beheaded with joy and laughter.
