Xia Yan, the word Gongjin, a native of Guixi, Jiangxi, was a member of the Ding Chou Branch in the twelfth year of Zhengde, ranked third in the top three, was awarded a pedestrian at the beginning, and then entered the military department.

There is nothing surprising about his resume, it is far worse than Yan Song, Yan Song is a member of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, and he entered the official career twelve years earlier than him, and Yan Song is the second place in the second class, and he was also selected as a Shujishi and entered the Hanlin Academy, which is a proper "storage phase".

It stands to reason that Yan Song's position must surpass Xia Yan, because Yan Song is stronger than Xia Yan in terms of knowledge and qualifications, but this thing is so strange, at this time Yan Song is still in Jinling, the southern capital, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but Xia Yan has become a popular candidate for the first assistant of the cabinet, what is going on?

The reason why Xia Yan was able to surpass Yan Song and become a popular candidate for the first assistant of the cabinet is because of one word: just!

He is just like the sharp flat-headed brother, who is not pleasing to the eye, go up and do it, no matter who you are, no matter how strong you are, if you don't get down, I'll lie down!

His character is a taboo in officialdom, and it stands to reason that he should die quickly, why did he get promoted faster than Yan Song?

Originally, according to his character, he really didn't live long, or he didn't stay long in the officialdom, but it was precisely because he didn't like anyone who he didn't like, and he went up to do it, but he won Jiajing's favor, because at the beginning of Jiajing's succession, he saw that Jiajing was not pleasing to the eye, and directly folded it and taught Jiajing a lesson!

His recital is actually nothing, the general meaning is, the emperor, you don't want to discuss everything with the eunuchs, and then make a decision, so it is easy to be deceived by the eunuchs, you should listen to the opinions of the cabinet, if you really can't do it, you will convene the minister's court, in short, it is not right to listen to the eunuchs' words to manage national affairs.

This can be said to be very ordinary, the number of ministers falling to the emperor is not that is the characteristic of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming emperors of all dynasties have basically been taught by the ministers, as for whether the emperor will be angry because of this, it depends on why the ministers teach them, like Xia Yan said this, it does make sense, Jiajing is not the kind of faint king, and he can't listen to any advice.

So, instead of getting angry, Jiajing praised Xia Yan and changed it according to what Xia Yan said.

This is the whole thing, Xia Yan still thinks that Jiajing is a Ming Jun who listens to any advice, but in fact, this is not the case at all, although Jiajing is not a faint king, he is not a Ming Jun, and he does not listen to all the advice, the reason why he gives Xia Yan face so much is mainly because he likes Xia Yan's character.

Good fellow, even I dare to teach a lesson, so who else he doesn't dare to teach, I need such a fierce man to teach those disobedient courtiers!

Immediately afterwards, Jiajing ordered Xia Yan to clean up the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals left by Emperor Wuzong Zhengde, Xia Yan really slashed, he didn't care, and laid off more than 3,000 palace guards and capital guards in one go, and cleaned up the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals left by Emperor Wuzong Zhengde.

Immediately afterwards, Jiajing ordered Xia Yan to clean up the imperial village, find out all the land embezzled by relatives, nobles, and eunuchs, and return it to the common people, as a result, Xia Yan not only cleaned up the eunuch Zhao Ling, who was favored by Emperor Wuzong Zhengde, but even Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang.

After doing this for a few years, Jiajing used him well, but he was not very happy, because his position was promoted too slowly, he worked so wildly, he offended I don't know how many powerful people, but in the end, he was only promoted to the middle of the seventh grade, isn't this equivalent to doing it in vain?

He is not Yang Bailao, he also wants to be promoted, he also wants to be in power, but the emperor just doesn't give him a promotion, what should he do?

At this time, he naturally had to find a reason, and after careful observation, he found that the emperor did not like to promote people, on the contrary, the emperor liked to give people promotions, but there were conditions for the emperor to give people promotions.

This emperor is very tough, he may not listen to what others say, but what he says must be listened to by others, if he doesn't listen, he will be very unhappy, if anyone can help him go to the hard steel Those who are disobedient will feel very cool, if you can make him cool, he will give you a promotion, if you can make him cool all the time, he will always give you a promotion.

For example, Zhang Xuan, this guy is a Xinsi Kejinshi in the sixteenth year of Zhengde, and he was not awarded an official position at the beginning, but was only sent to the Ministry of Rites to observe the government, that is to say, in the first year of Jiajing, he was just a white man without an official position.

However, this guy is very good at judging the situation, and in the big ceremony, he firmly stood on Jiajing's side, helping Jiajing to harden Yang Ting, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Yang Yiqing, a scholar of the cabinet.

From Guan Zheng Jinshi to the head of the Criminal Department, then to the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, to the right attendant of the military department, to the left attendant of the military department, to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the secretary of the Zhangdu Inspectorate, and then to the prince and the prince, the scholar of the Jinshen Palace, and then to the first assistant of the cabinet, he only took a total of eight years!

This guy's promotion speed is unprecedented, but I don't know if there will be anyone in the back, because Xia Yan wants to learn from him and try it on a rocket.

Xia Yan felt that it didn't seem very difficult for him to get on this rocket, because hard steel was his strong point, but he didn't just deal with people.

As for how to just treat people, this is simple, whoever makes the emperor unhappy, just go up and do it.

So, Xia Yan seized the opportunity and just got on with Zhang Zhang, the first assistant of the cabinet, because Jiajing wanted to separate the heavens and the earth to sacrifice Zhang Zhang.

Actually, at the beginning of this matter, Jiajing didn't want to come over, and Zhang Zhang's opposition was not a big deal, although he was a little unhappy, he still wanted to give Zhang Zhang Zhang some face, so forget it.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yan suddenly jumped out and fell in love with Zhang Xuan.

All right!

Cool!

Jiajing likes the infighting of the ministers, because as long as the ministers fight, they will not fight with him, the emperor, this Xia Yan is so aggressive, and he dares to fight, okay, I need such a person.

So, Xia Yanzhen got on the rocket, and the position also rose slowly.

From the capital to the bachelor, to the Shao Zhan Shi in charge of the Hanlin Academy, to the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the scholar of Wuyingdian University, he only took six years in total, and he was promoted to the twelfth level!

If Zhang Xuan can be removed from office this year and become the first assistant of the cabinet, then his promotion speed will surpass that of Zhang Zhang.

However, the fast promotion does not mean that Xia Yan's character is suitable for mixing in officialdom, after he won Jiajing's favor, the promotion speed is indeed amazing, but his character of not being satisfied with it is doomed to only a dead end in the officialdom.

Historically, this short-lived ghost was given to the first assistant for less than six years, and although he was reinstated because of Jiajing's favor, he became the first assistant again, but he was killed by the yin before he did it for three years in the second term!

He definitely didn't expect that the one who removed him from power in front and the one who killed him in the back were all the township party he promoted, Yan Song!

Of course, these are all afterthoughts, so let's skip them for now.

The key now is, will he brush Yang Cong down with favoritism, will he do this?

Let's see the next breakdown.
