I believe that many friends are very interested in the history of the Ming Dynasty, then Yan Song's name must be very loud, this person who interfered in the politics of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years once said together with Qin Ju and other traitors, so what did this Yan Song do to bring misfortune to Daming?

Speaking of Yan Song, although he was called a traitor thousands of years later, his talent was indeed beyond doubt, and this became the only point that Yan Song was praised in the future.
Yan Song was born in 1480, when his father was eager to gain power, but he had always been a fallen talent, so Yan Song paid great attention to the cultivation of Yan Song.
It is precisely because of the environment that Yan Song has been exposed to since childhood, he has long become a famous local prodigy, and when his peers are still playing in the fields, Yan Song has begun to study in the local school.
According to Yan Song's resume, he began to enter the county school at the age of 9, passed the county-level examination at the age of 10, and was raised in high school at the age of 19, and then in 1505, Yan Song was officially admitted to the jinshi, living up to his father's high expectations, that year Yan Song was only 25 years old.
At that time, because the chancellor Xia Yan was Yan Song's hometown, Yan Song successfully sat in the position of a scholar of Hanlin Academy by virtue of his attachment to Xia Yan, and began his official eunuch career from then on.

It is worth mentioning that after being in a high position and getting the emperor's favor, Yan Song began to reveal his true face, because Xia Yan was very conceited in his treatment of people and things, Yan Song often held a grudge, so he decided to eliminate Xia Yan and pave the way for his own development.
At that time, coinciding with the tatar invasion of the border pass, the general Zeng Qiao recommended by Xia Yan defeated the enemy at the border pass, but because Yan Song bought the generals in the army and ordered them to write a letter accusing Zeng Of being a misbehaving person, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty became suspicious of him.
After that, Yan Song falsely accused Xia Yan of slandering the emperor, so The Jiajing Emperor quickly put Zeng Milling to death and put Xia Yan in prison, after which Yan Song again entered the rumors, prompting the Jiajing Emperor to put Xia Yan to death.
After losing the obstacle of his courtiers, coupled with Emperor Ming's indulgence in alchemy, Yan Song quickly began to monopolize the imperial government, and supported his son Yan Shifan to the throne, becoming a servant of the imperial court.
At that time, people's reverence for The Father and Son of the Yan clan had reached the point where they wanted to call Yan Song "Great Minister" and Yan Shifan "Little Minister".
Later, during the 15 years that Yan Song controlled the government, the ming dynasty was made into a miasma, and even in the later revision of the "History of Ming", Yan Song was listed as one of the six traitors of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Yan Song's career was not absolutely as good as the sun, and after that, Yan Song recommended his wife and brother Ouyang Bijin to Ming Shizong, but Ming Shizong was extremely disgusted with this person and once wanted to refute the recommendation.
However, Yan Song at that time was very arrogant, and privately submitted a recital to Emperor Mingshizong, indicating that this person was his wife and brother, hoping that the emperor would give him a high-ranking official Houlu.
Yan Song's move was obviously not to take the emperor seriously, which quickly aroused the vigilance of Emperor Ming Shizong, and after that, Ming Shizong approved Ouyang Bijin's appointment decision.
After that, Emperor Mingshizong began to be wary of Yan Song at every turn, and at that time, there was an alchemist known for divination, who was favored by Emperor Mingshizong, who told Ming Shizong that Yan Song belonged to the court as a traitor to the imperial court.
At first, Emperor Mingshizong was still worried, but with the continuous speech of the alchemist, the emperor also began to dislike Yan Song to the extreme, and after seizing the handle of his son Yan Shifan, Ming Shizong quickly escorted him to the market and beheaded him.
At that time, Yan Song was old, and Emperor Ming shizong did not punish him in his old feelings, but stripped him of his official position, and confiscated the family property and degraded him to a commoner.
After that, Yan Song was forced into exile at the age of 87, because no one was willing to help, Yan Song died of illness in 1567 in a cemetery in his hometown.
Since then, this powerful minister who has plagued the Ming officialdom for 15 years has come to an end to the curtain of his life.
