However, it is said that in the middle age of Jiajing, there was a big traitor who took advantage of the time to gain ambition, entrenched in important places, and ruled for more than 20 years, harming the vitality of the Ming Dynasty, exploiting everything, and almost ruining the country and losing his family. Whoever is the surname of this traitor is Yan Song, who is pleasant. Great loyalty and treachery, all with special pens. During the Hongzhi period, Songju Jinshi, a warlock faced him for him, saying that he would be a nobleman in the future, but there was a hungry entrance, and he was afraid that he would die in the belly. Song smiled: "Both the cloud is expensive, and the cloud is hungry, it is obvious that it is contradictory, and it is not enough to believe it." "Yan Song is famous as a Jinshi, but he doesn't hear the story of Zhou Yafu? It is a floating and sinking eunuch country, and it is not very good. He changed his plans and moved in many ways, and he actually won the door of Shangshu Xia Yan. He took office in Nanjing, and was appointed to the Ministry of Officials. On the occasion of Xia Yan's entry into the cabinet, he was transferred to Beijing and appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. And because of the construction of the altar and the Jiao, Qingyun repeatedly appeared, so relying on the knowledge of the past years, he wrote a "Qingyun Fu", which was submitted to the imperial review. After reading it from beginning to end, Sejong felt that the words were elegant and the language was fine, which was the green words of the two ministers of Xia and Gu, and it seemed to be inferior to him, so he could not be praised. Not long, and dedicated the "Great Gift Ode to the Song", Yue Jue carved gold and jade, algae Yangfen, Sejong then greatly favored, all the green words and other categories, and ordered Yan Song to write. Xia and Gu gradually fell out of favor because of this. Gu Dingchen should not have suffered a disaster, but in the nineteenth year of Jiajing, he died of illness, and posthumously presented the Taibao, and he actually lived and died in mourning, and it was completely over. Indeed, he was spared. However, Xia Yan was proud of his honor and looked down on this Yan Shangshu, and because Yan Song advanced, he was promoted by himself, so he treated Yan Song almost the same as the doorman. Yan Song is the same township as Yan, and Kedi is earlier than Yan, so he has to bend his mind to accept it because he has to quote it. Who knew that Yan was blindly arrogant and domineering, and Song Sui secretly held a grudge, but in form, he was still extraordinarily humble. It's a traitor. One day, the wine was invited, and the invitation was accepted, but the words were declined. Song Fu from Xia Di, the entry to see, the words are not forthcoming. It's no wonder that you die so quickly. Song had no choice but to kneel in front of the steps, hand exhibition with the opening post, harmonious recitation, euphemism and moving, words are back to the joy of hatred, out of the entertainment, then Song went to the banquet, happy is returned. He thought he was humble and calm. As the saying goes, "It's easy to dodge with an open gun, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow." Yan Song is a feminine and sinister character, and the four words feminine and sinister are really Yan Song's comments. With such a dark atmosphere, how can there be no selfish revenge? Coincidentally, Guo Xun, the Duke of Yiguo, had a gap with the words, and Song Sui and Xun were connected and designed to speak badly. First of all, he added the title of young master, and specially entered the Guanglu Doctor to go to the pillar country, and was given a silver medal, engraved with the words "erudite and talented", and had to seal the white matter. From Sejong to Chengtian Mausoleum, Guo Xun, Xia Yan, Yan Song, etc., all accompanied by Hu Hu, the mausoleum has been completed, Song please congratulate, please return to Beijing to discuss again. Sejong actually invited from Song and asked for congratulations from the Dragon Flying Palace. Song then figured out the intention, secretly waited with Guo Xun, repeatedly slandered, and immediately annoyed Sejong, scolded him for being arrogant and disrespectful, recovered the silver medal, cut the rank, and strangled his life. Now that his anger gradually resolved, he resumed his words and deeds, and returned the silver medal with his hand. Knowing that someone framed it, he was thankful for it, and there was a phrase of "one ambition is isolated and taboo by the public", and Sejong replied to the edict and took responsibility. Say goodbye and thank you, and beg to rest, there is a will not allow it. The Empress Dowager Huizhao Sheng died of illness, and Sejong's ministers decided to obey the system, and the words were not satisfactory to the emperor, and there were false words from time to time, which were refuted by strict decrees. It turned out that the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng Zhang, since Sejong called her aunt, was treated as a thin lady. The younger brothers, Zhang Heling, the Duke of Changguo, and Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, were criticized for their extravagance and overstepping the system, and were imprisoned successively. Empress Dowager Zhang went to Xi Gao to treat the crime, please spare her brother from death, but Sejong did not obey. He Linglu died in prison, and the Trillium family is pending. Empress Dowager Zhang became ill and ended up. Sejong wanted to reduce the uniform, but he said that he was courteous and roped, and he made a mistake in one or two words in a hurry, so he was accused of being disrespectful by Sejong. He had no choice but to say that he was sick, so that he was dizzy. Sejong re-ordered him to return to the field, and he said that he would do what he was ordered, and he bowed to the palace in the west of the palace. Sejong moved his pity again, and ordered him to treat his illness privately, and Xu Qian died. Xia Yan has been sown by this, and he is still in love, how can he get rid of Fang Xiuye? Empress Dowager Zhang's funeral was hastily completed, that is, Sejong's father and son, and it was only a few days before it was over. Zhang Yanling actually abandoned the city. The first knowledge respects parents, not as good as the benevolence of tin, and is filial piety? Insert Zhang's affair to Ming Shizong's negative heart.

Shi Yanguan handed over Guo Xun for impeachment, and Xun also caused illness and begging for leave. Jingshan Marquis Cui Yuanxin's family member, entered the Zhineiyuan, and Sejong said: "Guo Xun and Xia Yan are all concubines, why are they jealous of each other?" Yuan hesitated and did not answer. Sejong asked Hun what was wrong with him? Yuan replied: "Xun is really fine, but he is afraid of Xia Yan, and if he returns to his words, Xun will be on leave." Sejong bowed his head. When the imperial historian heard the news, he jointly impeached Xun, and there was an edict to introspect himself, and the original recital was sent to read. When he was given a high level of work, he was honored and corrupted and indulged in more than a dozen illegal things, and then he was sent to prison. Xun was offended, and Yan Fu was summoned to Zhi. When the judicial department tried the case of Zunxun, most of them were secretly instructed by Yan, and the prison was beheaded. Sejong still intends to forgive the loan, and ordered a re-investigation, but he did not intend to re-investigate once, add a crime, re-investigate twice, and add a crime twice. Only Yan Song lost a helper, and he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart.

In the crown system of the Ming Dynasty, the crown of the emperor and the crown prince was folded with black yarn, which was called the Yishan crown in the Tang Dynasty. Sejong advocates Taoism, does not wear a good crown of wings, wears a crown of fragrant leaves alone, and orders the five crowns of Shenshui incense, and gives Xia Yan, Yan Song, etc. Xia Yan said that he was not subject to the law, but he gave it back. Yan Song wore it alone in accordance with the order, and wrapped it with a light sarong to show solemnity. Sejong then said that he was jealous of his pro-Song, and the appropriate solar eclipse was due to the edict: "The minister is slow to be a king, so that the heavens are admonished, Xia Yan is slow and rude, and he will be resigned immediately, and all the scholars of Wuyingdian are missing, so Yan Song will be replaced!" This edict was issued, and Song then endorsed the cabinet and jumped to the stage. When Song is more than 60 years old, not different from the young strong, day and night into the straight Xiyuan pepper room, did not taste a return to the bath, Sejong Dayue, give Song a silver medal, there are "loyalty, diligence and Minda" four words. Find and give plaques one after another, all over the hanging Songdi, the inner hall is called Yan'en Hall, the library building is said to be Qionghan Liuhui, the monastic pavilion is called Fengxuanzhi Pavilion, and the hall is alone on the big book Zhongbi two words, as a special reward. Song then stole his authority and took bribes for personal gain. The eldest son, Shifan, has to be appointed as Shangbaosi Shaoqing, and his sex is particularly greedy, his father and son are embarrassed, and the government and the opposition are sideways. The so-called loyalists of Sejong are unreasonable. In October of the twenty-first year of Jiajing, there was a great change in the palace. The culprit of rebellion is Yang Jinying, the palace maid of Concubine Cao, a palace maid, who has also entered the history of the country and spread it for hundreds of generations, which can be described as worthwhile. It turned out that Sejong was middle-aged, because he wanted to save his heart, and placed a wide range of concubines, including the Cao family, who was born beautifully and abnormally, and was the most favored, and was registered as a concubine. Whenever there is time to meet politics, you will go to the palace of the concubine, laughing and laughing, there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and 3,000 are pampered in one, almost like this. Is the ascetic like this? Concubine Duan's maidservant Yang Jinying, because of her lack of service, repeatedly touched anger, and almost wanted to kill her with a cane, but it was Concubine Duan's cheeks for her to save her life. Coincidentally, the thunder altar was completed, Sejong prayed to the thunder god, and entered the palace of the concubine, drank several cups together, fell asleep with the wine, and slept on the couch, and it was dark and sweet. Concubine Duan covered him and put down Luo Wei, for fear of disturbing his sleep, because he closed the bedroom door lightly, he tended to go to the side room. Unexpectedly, Yang Jinying looked at the gap, quietly entered the dormitory door, listened carefully, snoring loudly, she actually had the courage to untie the ribbon around her waist, make a set of knots, uncover the imperial tent, put the knot into the emperor's neck, and was pulling hard, suddenly heard the sound of walking outside the door, and couldn't help but hurry up, threw down the belt, and grabbed the door. Listen, Watchman! Who is this outside the door? It turned out to be another palace maid, called Zhang Jinlian. Another savior. Jin Lian was passing by the dormitory, peeking through the door, and saw Jin Ying untie the belt and tie the knot, I don't know what to do, she wanted to report to Concubine Duan, but she thought that Jin Ying was Concubine Duan's confidant, or was sent in by Concubine Duan, but I don't know, it is better to report to the queen quickly, it is more appropriate. The mind has been decided, so he walked to the main palace with three feet and two steps, and called it a disaster. Queen Fang was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly took several palace maids to rush into the West Palace with Jin Lian, and she didn't have time to report to Concubine Duan, so she actually visited in front of the royal couch, unveiled the account and took a look, and saw Shizong's neck, a ribbon, and was shocked. Official, since this Yang Jinying wants to kill the emperor, why don't you use a dead knot, but a slipknot? The kid thought about it, it was expected that the fate of the emperor should not be extinguished, and Yang Jinying was busy and made a mistake. Therefore, the knot is not strong, and when it is pulled hard, half of the knot is torn off, and it is broken by Zhang Jinlian, and it is too late to take care of it, so Sejong has not yet finished his life. At this time, Queen Fang, looking at Concubine Duan, couldn't help but raise her willow eyebrows, her phoenix eyes widened, and she threw the ribbon to Concubine Duan's face with force, and said sharply: "Look! And lo and behold! Do you dare to do such a big thing?" Usually jealous, rely on this to vent. Concubine Duan was inexplicable, she was only scared and trembled, but Zhang Jinlian justified it for her, saying that it was Yang Jinying who was plotting rebellion, and Fang Hou immediately ordered the inner servants to arrest Jin Ying, while announcing the imperial doctor and entering Shizong. When the imperial doctor came to see him, Jin Ying had already obtained it, and the queen did not have time to interrogate Jin Ying, so the imperial doctor first examined the emperor's pulse, saying that it was okay and immediately treated with medicine. Sure enough, Sejong woke up, his hands and feet stretched, and his eyebrows moved; However, although he was not injured, his throat was forced, his breath was not comfortable, and he couldn't speak for a while. When Empress Fang saw Sejong's resurrection, he knew that there was no hindrance, so he went out of the outer room to interrogate Jin Ying. Jin Yingchu still denied it, but after Jin Lian's cross-examination, he had no way to quibble, so he had to bow his head and ambush the crime. After the home remedies, she refused to stop and insisted on asking her the mastermind. Jin Ying blindly supported me, and waited until she was coerced by torture, and just confessed to a Wang Ning concubine. Empress Fang then ordered Zhang Zuo, the inner supervisor, to bring Wang Ning's concubine to her, and did not ask her whether she was false or real, that is, she was lynched in the palace and beaten her half to death. Concubine Duan asked: "The rebel Jin Ying, it is your beloved maid, you dare to conspire with her, what else can you say?" Concubine Duan prostrated on the ground and complained of grievances. Empress Fang sneered: "Where is the emperor's sleep, do you still want to pretend that you don't know?" He ordered Zhang Zuodao: "Quickly drag these three criminals out, and according to the big rebellion, Ling Chi will be executed." "Removing the thorn in the eye, what is the pleasure? When Concubine Duan heard this, the soul had flown into the nine heavens, almost unconscious, and was shocked to recover, and wanted to beg, but was pulled out of the palace by Zhang Zuo. Pity her jade bones and ice muscles, and she will end up in the court in vain, and her bones will be wronged. For the beauty of the pampered people. Wang Ningfei and Yang Jinying, according to the usual capital punishment, do not need to go into detail. Sejong recovered from his illness, remembered the love of Concubine Duan, and questioned the people in the palace, all of whom were wronged and mourned. In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, there was a fire in the inner hall, and Sejong Fang lived in the west, smelling the fire alarm, and said to himself: "It is not said that the immortal Buddha has no soul, look at the jealousy and harm the good people, today I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the curse of God." After the palace people asked to save the party, Sejong silently did not answer. The fire had been extinguished, and after receiving a report from Ouchi, the queen was injured by the fire and was very ill, and Sejong did not look at it, and later fell ill. After Sejong mourned his death, he sobbed and said: "After trying to save me, I can't save the queen, so I will inevitably bear the burden." "I will repent again, and I will see more and more sorrow and anger. It is ordered to be funeral after the Yuan Dynasty, and the law is determined by the law, called filial piety, and the pre-named burial place is called Yongling, which is a slow table after the story.

Moreover, it was said that Sejong had been subjected to the palace change, and Yang Jinying's clan belonged to dozens of people, so he pacified the palace change and sent an edict to the cabinet: "I am not relying on the grace of heaven and earth, and the ghosts and gods are silently blessed, and I have long been killed by the rebels, how can I have today?" From today onwards, I will concentrate on fasting and purifying, silently devoting myself to all national political affairs, and ordering the university scholar Yan Song to preside over the judgment and choose to hear about it. The university scholars should be bent and sincere, prudent and impartial". When Yan Song received this edict, he was overjoyed, he was arbitrary, he didn't ask his colleagues, he was a hundred divisions inside and outside, and if he had any advice, he would start Song first, and then hear about it. Songyi is greedy and unscrupulous, and he is rampant. University scholar Zhai Luan, with the military department of the book into the cabinet to do things, the prestige out of Yan Song, sometimes with Song meetings, inevitably support the great self-esteem, Song actually because of this suspicion, yin slander officials, ignore Zhai Luan, and impeach Luan's second son Ru Jian, Ru Xiao, and the industry teacher Cui Qixun, relatives Jiao Qing, the same Jinshi and the first, private fraud, the deeds are obvious. Sejong was furious and ordered the Metropolitan Inspectorate to investigate. Zhai Luan pleaded his defense, and his words invaded Yan Song, and Sejong Yi said angrily: "Luan has been impeached and is waiting to be investigated, do you still dare to blaspheme Chen?" Even if his two sons are talented and learned, why should they go hand in hand with private individuals, which is obviously a disadvantage. Then he ordered Zhai Luan's father and son to cut their names, and condemned Cui Qixun and Jiao Qing to the people. A joy and an emptiness. There was also a Shandong patrol according to the Yushi Ye Jing, tried to send Yan Song to accept the matter, Song Mi was spared, held a grudge, and passed the Shandong prison Linxiang test, after the test was completed, the paper was submitted, and Song excerpted the Chinese characters of the volume, which was accused of slander. If you want to add sin, why should you do it? Sejong then arrested and entered Beijing, added eighty rods, and died of heavy injuries. The trial official Zhou Ying, and the political envoy Chen Ru were all guilty officials. Yushi Xie Yu, Yu Shi, Chen Shao, Wang Xian, Shen Liangcai, Chen Kai, and Shanxi Governor Tong Hanchen, Fujian Governor He Weibo, etc., all offended by impeaching Song, and Song was arrogant. Sejong ordered Xu Zhan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhang Bi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to enter the cabinet to do things, and each was awarded a university scholar. Zhan sighed to himself: "Why did you take away my ministry and make me look up to people." Then he begged for a break, and said: "Song Lao Cheng practiced, he could be alone, and he would eat without annoyance." It's a sarcasm. Song knew the meaning of Zhan, and also said: "The courtiers are shoulder to shoulder, they should work together, and should not be suspicious, in the past Xia Yan and Guo Xun were in the same column, suspicious of each other, and lost the minister's way, the minister Song repeatedly called, Yu Li Weian, I am afraid that my colleagues will be suspicious in the future, and I will follow the same path, and then we should imitate the story of the ancestors of Xia Sanyang, who is called, and the ministers must enter together" and so on. Responding to fake is good-looking. Both are left in the middle and not reported. After Sejong suffered a palace change, he moved to the west, seeking longevity every day, the suburbs were not close, the court was abandoned, the monarchs and ministers often did not see each other, only a real person Tao Zhongwen, in and out freely, when he met with Sejong, he had to sit next to him, and Sejong called him Mr. and not his name. Yan Song tried to bribe Zhongwen, whenever there was an incident where the party was fighting against each other, he relied on him to ask for him on his behalf, one traitor and one evil, relying on each other, what else should I scruple about?

However, the national lineage of the Ming Dynasty was lost a lot by him.

Even after Zhang Bi died, Xu Zan was dismissed by begging, Yan Song actually thought about being alone, and unexpectedly passed on the internal decree, recalled Xia Yan to the cabinet, and restored the official. The edict is coming, as soon as you enter the cabinet, you will be re-vigorated, why come again? And the grandeur is the same, why not die? All the answers are all out of their own will, without consulting with Song. is the private person quoted by Song, most of them are expelled, and Song wants to say words to protect him, but he is criticized in person, but he is silent. Chen Qixue, the imperial historian, impeached Cui Yuan with salt law, and Lu Bing, the governor of Jinyi, and Bingshi had been promoted to the governor. Sejong sent a proposal to the Cabinet. Words are the intentions, so that the two of them can explain themselves. The two of them were frightened, and they begged for help. Song shook his hand and said: "The emperor can still mediate, but it is inconvenient for Young Master Xia to talk about it, so the two of you just go to beg him." The two of them couldn't do it, so they first used 3,000 gold to offer Naxiadi, but the words were driven by the gold, which scared the two of them helplessly, and went to consult Yan Song. Song and whispered a few words, and the two of them led the way out, that is, they went to Xia Yan to ask for death, and knelt for a long time, crying bitterly. Yan Nai Yun turned around, and the two of them thanked each other. Xia Yan has been tricked. Because of Songzi Shifan, he opened the bribe road widely, and transferred the money valley on behalf of the loser, and when he passed the hand, he was eroded by his feelings, and he was all in the greedy pocket, and the matter was heard by Xia Yan, and he planned to participate immediately. Someone reported to Shifan, and Shifan was in a hurry and hurriedly begged Lao Tzu to find a way. Yan Song paused and said, "This is broken!" How to redeem the old summer! When Shifan heard this, he was so anxious that he cried and handed it over, after all, Yan Song licked the calf deeply, hesitated for a long time, and said: "The matter is burning, and I can't care about the face." Good son! Come with me. "What a good son. Shifan responded to the order, that is, he went out with Song to drive the public opinion, and actually went to Xiadi, please see Young Master Xia. The famous thorn was thrown in, and it was rumored for a long time that the young master was sick and could not see guests. Yan Song listened, smiling, and treacherous. He took out a large ingot of silver in his sleeve and handed it to Si Yan and said, "I bother you to lead again, I came specifically to wait for illness, and I have nothing else to do." "When the people saw Bai Qi, they smiled, and they were happy to do personal favors, there was nothing difficult in the world, and they always taught silver. On the other hand, he said: "The prime minister has an order, and he doesn't dare to disobey it, but he is afraid that the master will criticize him, so what can he do?" Yan Song said: "I went to see the young master, I have something to say, please rest assured, the guarantee has nothing to do with you." "Yan Ren and guide him inside, until Xia Yan's study. Seeing that Song's father and son came in, it was inconvenient to scold the Yan people, so they had to avoid the couch, pretend to be sick, and be **. Yan Song walked to the couch and asked in a low voice, "Is the young master's political system unsafe?" Xia Yan should not. Happy to put on a shelf. After asking a few times, Fang saw that Yan was revealing his head and asked who it was? Yan Song reported his name, and said in shock: "It's a narrow room, why should you be contemptuous of Yan Xiang?" As he spoke, he wanted to get up. Song hurriedly said: "Song and the young master are fellow villagers, Su Meng is guided, and he feels not shallow, so he asks Song to carry out the whip, and he is also willing, does the young master still regard Song as an outsider?" Please don't have to work, young master, just sleep peacefully! "The words are spicy. Yan replied: "The old decay and sickness are making the family stand in the way, but the hated family members do not forgive, and the old decay is embarrassed." Song replied: "This is not a violation of the price, but because Song Wen is not safe for the young master, he is not willing to obey the order, and he is anxious to wait, and the young master blames me, and he is responsible for the price." But the young master was still strong yesterday, but today he is against the peace, isn't it even cold?" Yan Chang said: "The vitality is empty, and I have encountered a group of evils, the group of evils will not go for a day, and the vitality will not recover for a day, and I am planning to take medicine to attack the evil spirits." "It's clear that there is something in the words. When Yan Song heard this, he had already felt it, and he was anxious to snort at Shifan, pounced, and knelt down. Shi Fan kowtowed his head again, so startled that Xia Yan couldn't get up, and hurriedly said: "This, what is this for, please get up quickly!" The father and son knelt down as before, and there were four lines of tears in succession, almost like raindrops, and they were about to fall. What an old way. The boy has a poem to ridicule Yan Song's father and son:

Able to bend and stretch is a husband, and the adulterer is also consistent with deceit.

Try to see the day when the father and son bow their heads, who believes that they will be falsely accused in the future?

I don't know how Xia Yan will deal with it, please see the official to read the next time.

This time, Yan Song is the main one, Xia Yan and Shizong are the guests, the inner and Fang Hou, Cao Duanfei, etc., and the outer Zhai Luan, Ye Jing, Xu Zhan, etc., are all guests and guests. Sejong and Xia Yan, both with a good just lost, Sejong only just died, several rebellious changes, Xia Yan just died, repeatedly framed wrongs, only strict Song is soft and sinister, like Gong monstrous, Sejong can not candle its evil, Xia Yan is anti-desire to overpower Yiwei, this is all caged by Jiu-Jitsu, falling into its technique without understanding, and there is no confusion to be sown. Although the palace change section has nothing to do with Yan Song, and Sejong has absconded because of this, so that Yan Song can be monopolized, which is tantamount to adding wings to Song. Concubine Duan succumbed to death, and the Yan family was rampant, why should the sky treat the red face lightly, but treat the treacherous one kindly? Therefore, I said that this time is described, pay attention to Yan Song everywhere, and the rest of the things are written off, Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended to be Pei Gong, and the benefit of this article is wonderful.
