Who is the first "ghost talent" of this Jiajing Dynasty? This person is not Zhu Houxi, who has not been in the court for decades but still knows everything about the inside and outside of the court, nor is he Yan Song, the richest man in the cabinet who deceives and plays with power. And this "ghost talent" is Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, who looks far from his father Yan Song, yan Song's eyebrows are sparse, and his voice is loud and sharp, which is very much in line with the image of a traitor in the hearts of the people. And Yan Shifan's short and fat body, although blind at a glance, is still very rich and handsome.
In the eighth year of Zhengde, Yan Shifan landed on the ground and was born in his hometown of Yichun, Jiangxi, while the previous year his father Yan Song was still serving as the chief editor of Xiu Zhi in Yuanzhou Capital, working hard as a worker. But fortunately, Yan Shifan's father was a wise man, and his ability to judge the hour and size up the situation allowed him to successively serve in the Hanlin Academy between Beijing and Nanjing, and when the Jiajing Emperor ascended the throne, he was addicted to Taoism and was bent on immortality, and he entrusted the affairs of the DPRK to the Rebbe Shangshu Xia Yan to deal with, and this Xia Yan and Yan Song were fellow countrymen, so Yan Song kept patting Xia Yan.

Yan Song's hard work was not in vain, and he was finally promoted to the position of Guozi Supervisor in Jiajing for four years. This position is equivalent to the current position of president and minister of education of Peking University Tsinghua University. Such good conditions naturally cannot be wasted, just in the ten years of Jiajing, Yan Shifan also reached the age of reading and recognizing words, so it was logical to come to Guozijian to study.
After that, Yan Song's career began to flow smoothly, and in the eleventh year of Jiajing, Yan Song was promoted to Nanjing Libu Shangshu, and the official had more opportunities to see the emperor, Yan Song knew that Ming Shizong attached great importance to ceremonies, and through his position as a Rebbe Shangshu, he had frequent contact with Ming Shizong to help Sejong to formulate ritual music, and sometimes even saw the emperor two or three times a day. For convenience, Yan Song lived directly about four miles west of the palace, so that he could accept the emperor's summons at any time.
It was not until the twenty-first year of Jiajing that Yan Song plotted to remove the capital Xia Yan from his post. Yan Song succeeded him as the head of the cabinet and began the era of dictatorship. Of course, with such an old father, Yan Shifan's career path was naturally much easier, and Yan Shifan's official position rose again and again, until Jiajing was appointed as the young secretary of the Taichang Temple and in charge of the Affairs of the Shangbao Temple in the twenty-fourth year.
After killing Xia Yan, Yan Song was already more than seventy years old, at this time, although he was the capital again, but he was old and weak, mentally tired, in addition to the need to listen to the emperor's dispatches at any time, but also to deal with government affairs, there was more than enough and insufficient strength, then Yan Shifan's role was highlighted, whenever Yan Song had political affairs that could not be decided, Yan Shifan would help him make a decision. After a long time, Yan Song even directly let Yan Shifan replace his right to vote in the cabinet. Coincidentally, the result after each Yan Shifan vote was drafted, it could be deeply satisfied and praised by the Jiajing Emperor. So later Yan Song simply handed over all the administrative affairs to Yan Shifan.

Yan Shifan was arrogant and lascivious, and often got drunk, but it was rumored that even when Yan Shifan was drunk, as long as he put a towel with hot water on his head a few times, he could immediately regain his sanity, as if he had never drunk alcohol, thus helping Yan Song to handle government affairs.
At this time, the Jiajing Emperor was addicted to the art of Taoism and studied immortality every day. The state affairs were completely indifferent to themselves, but they were busy submitting materials to the Jade Emperor, and this material was "Qingzi." The "green word" thing needs to have a strong grammar, and each pair of green words can only be used once, and the Jiajing Emperor always wants to communicate with the Jade Emperor on a whim, so a large number of green words are needed.

Yan Song, as the jiajing emperor's royal use of "licking dogs", every time he wrote a green word, the Jiajing Emperor was very satisfied, and Yan Shifan was Yan Song's ghostwriter when Yan Song was old and frail, and his green word technique was even more blue than blue.
Slowly, because Yan Song was old and accompanied by the Jiajing Emperor for a long time, so the administrative affairs were all handled by Yan Shifan, Who was brilliant and good at guessing the Holy Will, and now that he was in power, naturally there would be many people who came to the door to ask for a meeting, and Yan Shifan also did not refuse to come, and asked for different amounts of money and generous gifts from different officials. At this time, the major events and small affairs of the Ming Dynasty basically had to pass through the hands of Yan Shifan, and everything had to be deducted from his hands, and Yan Shifan became more and more greedy, and his life became more and more luxurious.
Because Yan Song is a small person who climbed step by step to the current capital position, so Yan Song is also a cautious person, but Yan Shifan is different, the proper rich second generation plus now the power is in his hands, so Yan Shifan, who is already very pretentious, is even more arrogant, he built a mansion across four streets in the capital, enclosing dozens of acres of land as a fish pond. According to legend, he married 27 wives and concubines, embraced left and right every day, and was absurd, even when his mother died, he was still so rude and uncivilized every day.
Yan Shifan also made Yan Song feel a little crisis, and Yan Song once advised Yan Shifan that "those who accumulate a lot will die." But Yan Shifan did not pay attention to it, even the government affairs did not help the father to deal with, only cared about greed and fun, Yan Song was more than seventy years old after all, handling government affairs was tired and slow, after a long time Jiajing was very dissatisfied, so he directly sent Yan Song home.
Yan Song lost his power, but Yan Shifan still did not relent, and returned to his hometown and built a mansion without authorization on the way to exile. At this time, Yushi Zou Yinglong intervened and directly impeached Yan Shifan, and Yan Shifan was arrested and imprisoned. Although Yan Shifan's power was not there, but the limelight still existed, he tried to exonerate himself by spreading rumors in prison, and at this time, Xu Jie saw through Yan Shifan's plan, so he put the charge of colluding with Wu Kou and plotting rebellion on Yan Shifan's head.

During the Jiajing period, the coastal Wokou was the most headache for the Jiajing Emperor, and anyone related to the Wokou was naturally shot and killed, which was also Xu Jie's killing move in order to kill Yan Song's father and son. And even if Yan Shifan was extremely smart, he would no longer have the chance to turn over, and after Yan Shifan heard that he had been condemned to death, he cried out in fright, and his hands trembled so much that he could not write. In order to prevent Yan Shifan from regenerating the calamity, Xu Jie also advanced Yan Shifan's sentence to the spring, changing the habit of asking for beheading after autumn. At that time, the people of the capital were very happy to hear that Yan Shifan was about to be beheaded, and they agreed to hold wine together to see Yan Shifan's beheading.
Although Yan Shifan claimed to be the only three readers of the Jiajing Dynasty, his wisdom and wisdom were indeed his proud and arrogant capital, but the ability to learn did not have to go to the right path and became the death knell on the road to death, if Yan Shifan could study the right path, he would certainly have something to do, I don't know how Yan Shifan would feel when he was violent and greedy, arrogant and extravagant, and he knew how he would feel when he was frightened and cried after being convicted.
