In 1562, Yan Song fell, and when his house was raided, he proposed: Leave some money to send servants. When Xu Jie heard this, he said word by word: "I remember that Yang Jisheng has no servants in his family. ”
Yan Song, known as the "first traitor of the Ming Dynasty", with the death of Wuzong Zhu Houzhao and the fall of Liu Jin's party, this person rose all the way until the twenty-first year of Jiajing, becoming the first auxiliary minister of the government and the opposition!
At this point, the high-ranking and powerful Yan Song used all kinds of means to eliminate dissidents, and Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi was obsessed with seeking immortals for thirty years and ignored the government, which further fueled the arrogance of Yan Song and his party.
Yan Song has a son named Yan Shifan, in order to monitor Jiajing's dynamics, he is full of eyes and ears in the palace, and all the dynamics of Jiajing's life and daily life are under the control of Yan's father and son, so the father and son can rest assured that they can boldly fight against each other, covet power and wealth, suppress colleagues, and oppress the people.
In history, Yan Song once boasted arrogantly that he was even richer than the imperial court. The perverse behavior of the Yan father and son has attracted the wrath of the heavens and the resentment, and those upright and responsible ministers in the court have written to impeach the Yan father and son.
But Yang Jisheng is a hard bone, as a small imperial history, he was the first to stand up, and impeached Yan's father and son with the recital of "Please Punish the Thief and the Minister", but Yan Song was powerful at the time, and this recital was not only intercepted by him, but he also slandered Zhu Houxi, and put him in prison on the charge of Yang Jisheng having an affair with Yu and King Jing.
Speaking of which, Yang Jisheng's career is also thanks to Yan Song's support, but Yan Song is by no means out of the purpose of recommending talents for the country, but let the upright Yang Jisheng stand on top of the court, just because Yang Jisheng had participated in the impeachment of Yang Song's political enemies back then, so, in line with the principle of "the enemy of the enemy is a friend", he intended to promote Yang Jisheng and try to form an alliance of interests with him.
But the upright Yang Jisheng didn't know how to lift, and witnessed the perverse actions of the Yan father and son, corrupting the dynasty, and the "tendon" Yang Jisheng was determined to die, and he must not let Yan Song, the traitor who ruined the Ming Dynasty, continue to dominate.
Yang Jisheng's screams and fighting to the death were tantamount to eggs hitting stones, not only did he not hurt Yan Song, but he was also in prison. Since the Ming Dynasty had secret agencies such as the East and West Second Factory and Jinyiwei, torture to extract confessions was notoriously vicious and cruel.
In order to take revenge on Yang Jisheng, Yan Song inevitably greeted the people in the Criminal Department and asked them to "entertain" this loyal minister. As a result, Yang Jisheng received the most cruel punishment since the founding of the Ming Dynasty - court battle! That is, he slapped his waist and buttocks with a thick wooden stick.
Yang Jisheng ate a hundred battles at that time, and was beaten to the point that his skin was open and his muscles and bones were broken. At that time, out of kindness, his friend brought him high-quality snake gall bladder, which was very helpful for his recovery. But Yang Jisheng resolutely refused to accept it, saying that he had guts, so why should he have snake gall!
As the wound gradually festered, there was carrion, Yang Jisheng endured great pain and personally cut off the excess meat with the fragments in prison, this scene is really unbearable.
In order to save her husband, Yang Jisheng's wife personally wrote to Zhu Houxi, hoping to risk her husband's freedom with her own life, but his performance was still intercepted by Yang Song, who held the authority of the country.
Two years later, at the behest of Yan Song, the Criminal Department mixed Yang Jisheng with other criminals and was beheaded at the age of 39.
But as the saying goes, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and soon after Yang Jisheng's death, a palace storm against Yan's father and son was about to begin.
Yang Jisheng's teacher Xu Jie was the initiator of this storm, in order to bring down Yan Song's party, Xu Jie could be said to have endured humiliation and painstaking.
When the Yan family's father and son were huge, Xu Jie deliberately withheld it, made compromises, and even deliberately befriended Yan Song, he once reluctantly gave his daughter to Yan Song as a concubine, so as to make Yan Song relax his vigilance.
Of course, there are also such rumors among the people that Xu Jie, a group of righteous scholars, even adopted a lot of indiscriminate measures in order to bring down the Yan family and his son.
For example, after learning that Yan Shifan had a problem with lust, one of them deliberately wrote a pornographic novel, and after the draft was completed, they smeared the paper with chronic poison and presented it to Yan Shifan.
When Yan Shifan saw the blood gushing, he couldn't help but put his hand in his mouth and use saliva to help turn the page, and in the long run, he would die of poison.
Of course, this is just a folk joke, and it also reflects the people's hatred of Yan's father and son from one side, but there is one point, Yan Song's downfall is indeed related to his precious son.
Xu Jie also grasped Yan Shifan's various evil deeds, and gradually made Zhu Houxi lose his trust in the father and son, so that Yan Song's party, which had controlled national politics for nearly 30 years, fell in one fell swoop.
So, there was the scene at the beginning of the article, when Yan Song hoped to leave some money for his servants, Xu Jie, in order to avenge his student Yang Jisheng, said with a straight face: Yang Jisheng has no servants!
This sentence is not only a rebuke and whipping of Yan Song's extravagant life and moral degradation, but also a praise and affirmation of the student Yang Jisheng's upright and uprightness!
