Chapter 198: Yan Song
In Xiao Tian's original plan, he had to be a wall grass for a few more years, he didn't rely on anyone now, and he didn't need much help, so he naturally didn't want to set up an enemy for no reason, at least before he went ashore, he definitely didn't have the heart to stand in line.

Of course, even if he speaks out now, it doesn't mean that he has to stand in line, but this matter itself, he thinks it is necessary for him to make some noise, which has nothing to do with interests, and may not be a conscience, just a basic sense of responsibility.
Xiaotian has always believed that rights and obligations are equal relations, since you are in this position and respected by tens of millions of people, you must consider for these tens of millions of people, nothing is taken for granted, even the emperor is no exception, while enjoying the support of Kyushu Wanfang, it is inevitable that the people of Li will be shouldered.
This is the weight of power.
Therefore, he stood up today, maybe there are some heroic feelings at work, but more importantly, it is Xiaotian who understands what is called corpse vegetarian meal, and understands why Yan Song is so powerful and so old, but there are still people who stand up one after another and want to fight him.
Before this, Xiao Tian was actually quite sympathetic to Yan Song, because this person didn't seem to do anything really hurtful except for giving birth to a bastard son, but he was inexplicably beaten down when he was in his eighties, and it was inexplicably recorded by the Ming Dynasty as the first traitor of the Ming Dynasty.
There are many traitors in the history books, but only Cai Jing and Yan Song of the Northern Song Dynasty won the first two words, and even Qin Hui is stronger than the two of them.
Qin Hui also harmed Yue Fei's deeds, but these two people, looking through the history books, didn't seem to see them do any big and evil things.
Xiaotian has always been artificial, Cai Jing is the prime minister of the dead country, according to the urine nature of the feudal dynasty, the country forgot that it should not be the emperor's fault, but the prime minister's fault, the first traitor seems to be reasonable, but Yan Song doesn't seem to make sense here anyway, the Ming Dynasty died more than a hundred years later, and Yan Song has a bullshit relationship?
If you want to talk about evil deeds, you can only find Yan Song three articles in the history books.
First, he defeated his predecessor Xia Yan. Xia Yan is definitely a good official, maybe in the end of the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, Xia Yan can be regarded as one of the best idle appearances, such a person was defeated, maybe Yan Song, the first assistant, is himself with original sin.
But this is not a big deal in Xiaotian's opinion, political struggles have always been like this, it makes no sense that Yan Song should be scolded through the ages if he brings down Xia Yan, and Xu Jie should be famous for eternity if he brings down Yan Song, which is also too unreasonable. Besides, Xia Yan's downfall was obviously Jiajing's own meaning.
The second is even more ridiculous, because he killed loyal ministers indiscriminately, including Yang Jisheng and Di Li Mo, who has not been alive for a few days in history.
To be reasonable, isn't it funny, Li Mo is like killing his father and enemy to Yan Song, that is to fight Yan Song as his life goal, it is strange if such a person is not killed. Yang Jisheng is even more strange, he scolded Yan Song as that forced person, should Yan Song respectfully invite him out and admit his mistake again, and tell him that what you said is right?
Third, when Alda Khan came to visit the door, he deliberately let them go unchecked and let them wantonly plunder around the capital, causing hundreds of thousands of people to suffer from misery. This is the most tenable remark of Yan Song's traitorous ministers.
Here's the thing, a few years ago, because of Qiu Luan's incompetence, the Tatars bypassed the defense line of the Great Wall and came directly to the periphery of the capital. shouted to the imperial court: "If you don't open the horse market, I will beat you"
At that time, the imperial court had less guard strength in the capital, and it should be more difficult to defend, so he transferred troops from all over the country, Xu Jie, who had not yet entered the cabinet, thought of a good idea, pretended to agree, and then waited for the Qinwang army from all over the country with a procrastination trick, and I found that it was too late to be fooled, so I could only retreat with hatred, and it was precisely because of this incident that Xu Jie had a great merit to sit on the throne of the second assistant.
Of course, the Tatars who found out that they were fooled were not reconciled, and it was useless to attack Jingshi, so they vented their fire on the people around Jingshi, burning, killing and looting, and had a bumper harvest.
At this time, some people in the court couldn't stand it anymore, and they wanted to fight a battle to prevent them from attacking our own people. Jiajing was also very tempted, and besides, he was aggrieved and wanted to vent.
With a command, the Qinwang army in all parts was ready to go out of the city for field battles.
At this time, Yan Song stopped him, dragged it but did not give an order, and waited until the Tatars were strong enough to leave, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the imperial court were stunned that they had never fought with them. Afterwards, he killed a scapegoat at random.
This is a bit too much, and when many people saw this paragraph, they were filled with righteous indignation, saying that this Yan Song was a complete traitor and a villain. There are even many TV series in later generations, which directly say that this paragraph is Yan Song accepted a bribe from Altan Khan, which is a bit funny.
At first, Xiaotian also thought so, but in the past few years since he came to the Ming Dynasty, through watching and listening, including contact with Yan Song and Jiajing, he found that this may not be a manifestation of Yan Song's loyalty and patriotism.
Let's think about the situation at that time, the Tatars have crossed the Great Wall and reached the Beijing Division, the North China Plain is full of excellent battlefields for cavalry, if the Qinwang army does not come, it is unknown whether the capital can be defended.
Later, thanks to Xu Jie, the Qinwang army from all over the country came. But you must know that there are hundreds of thousands of Qinwang troops in various places, which seems to be very powerful, but except for a small number of border troops, most of them are recruits who have never been on the battlefield!
Xiao Tianke, who was killing in Nanyang, knew that if the war was a simple arithmetic problem, one of his natives in Nanyang would foam at the mouth, and his little manpower would also be drowned.
With the city defense of Yanjing City, maybe the difference between recruits and veterans is not so big, passive defense, these cavalry can't do anything with you, but if you want to go out of the city to fight, isn't that a head? In case the war is unfavorable and is attacked by others and the capital is broken, will the Ming Dynasty become the Northern Song Dynasty?
Later generations always inevitably make some indignation when they read history books, and always feel that hundreds of thousands of us dare not beat tens of thousands of people, that is, coercion, or traitorous ministers, but think about it from the shoes of others, if the war were so simple, there would be no Qing Dynasty, a strange dynasty. The Jurchens, the elderly, the weak, the women and children are all added, and there are not as many of our soldiers.
Looking at the processing results, the history books say that Jiajing was deceived by Yan Song, and Xiaotian, who really came into contact with two people, is sure that this is definitely a fart.
There is nothing in the world that Jiajing can't control, such a big thing, if Yan Song dares to deceive the king and hide it, he has a hundred heads and Jiajing will also cut it off.
Xiao Tian thought, this matter is either Jiajing was angry for a while, and then gave the order, Yan Song was very considerate of him, so he made his own decisions and did not send troops, and Jiajing figured it out afterwards, so he naturally would not kill Yan Song.
Even, it is more likely that the two monarchs and ministers are singing a double reed, and they just kill a scapegoat to block the mouths of the people in the world afterwards, anyway, the infamy is Yan Song's, not Jiajing's.
From this point of view, Yan Song really doesn't have any big evil, which is why Xiaotian has always refused to stand in line before, as for corruption or something, it's really not a big deal, Yan Song is really not very corrupt, and most of his notoriety for corruption comes from Yan Shifan.
So, why did Xiaotian stand up and express his opposition today? (To be continued.) )
