Yansong fortune-telling story _ Introduction to Yansong fortune-telling story

Yan Song's story: A late bloomer was the first and second person to record the chaos in the world.

The first part is a late bloomer. Have a brilliant and loyal record, minister. He stole his business position by flattering the emperor. He has been in power for 20 years, greedy for money and taking bribes, and living in luxury, which makes the people hate it. This man is Yan Song. Yan Song, whose real name is Zhong, Xie and Mianan, is a native of Jiangxi, and he has been smart since childhood. His village is called a child prodigy. In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty, Yan Song was admitted to imperial academy at the age of 25. When he was preparing for a promotion, he got a serious illness. In desperation, he had to go home to recuperate. He was recuperating in Qian Shan Hall outside the south gate of Fenyi County, his hometown, reading and writing poems, while reciting poems and writing poems. Yan Song, like Yan Song, lived in seclusion in Qian Shan Hall for ten years, and happened to be the heir of Emperor Zhu Hou of Jiajing. He thought the time had come, so he went north and returned to his official position. At first, he was depressed, so he tried to please his compatriot Xia Yan, who was a cabinet record at that time and soon became the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. Emperor Sejong Zhu Houxi had two hobbies in his life. One is to worship the immortal way and pray for immortality. Shortly after he acceded to the throne, he was lured into the palace by eunuch Cui Wen to pray, and it was out of control from then on. Sejong's activities of fasting, praying and worshiping God need a green word of burning heaven and worshiping God. This is a kind of prose, which should express the sincerity of the emperor's extremely gorgeous writing style. This kind of article is written on a special kind of green paper with a pen, so it is called green word. Because Sejong was busy fasting every day, many officials in the DPRK rushed to offer green words to please Sejong. Therefore, many ministers were promoted to cabinet prime ministers by Sejong because they were good at writing blue characters. Their main task is to write Qing Ci for Sejong, so they are called prime ministers of Qing Ci. Refusing to flatter others is another hobby of Sejong. Yan Song, who is good at have it both ways, knows Sejong's hobbies and characteristics like the back of his hand, which is very pleasing to the ear. On one occasion, Yan Song was ordered by Sejong to visit the tomb of King Xing Xian in Huguang Anlu. After thinking hard, he came up with a good way to please Sejong. Yan Song wrote a letter to Sejong immediately after completing the sacrificial mission with great sincerity, mainly telling some auspicious signs and asking Sejong to make it public with stones. This nonsense came to Sejong's heart in front of the ancestral temple. Sejong was overjoyed and thought Yan Song had done a good job. He was immediately appointed as a second-class official and was appointed as an official and a bachelor. He got a bachelor's degree from the Royal College. One year, an official called Sejong for a promotion, giving him a chance to celebrate your birthday and sacrifice your life, which gave Yan Song a chance. At the same time, the government also asked the temple to offer sacrifices, which caused strong dissatisfaction among court officials. Sejong wrote an article accusing officials. Yan Song agreed with Sejong's idea and strongly echoed it. He proposed to offer sacrifices to the emperor as Zong Rui, the queen of the World Star, and attached it to the ancestral temple. At the same time, he made a detailed sacrificial ceremony. His practice won the favor of Sejong, so he was rewarded by Sejong. Sejong is a self-righteous, headstrong, stingy and ungrateful emperor. He can. I can't tolerate any disobedience from his servants. Sejong believes in Taoism and likes to wear fragrant leaf towels. I ordered five fragrant leaf towels to be copied and sent to Xia Yan, Yan Song and other ministers. In order to please the emperor, Yan Song put on a fragrant leaf towel every time he entered the palace, then put on an official hat, and deliberately exposed a piece of gauze wrapped in fragrant leaf towel outside the hat. Sejong was very happy to see him. On the other hand, Xia Yan thought that according to etiquette, the fragrant leaf towel was not used by ministers, so he publicly stated that he would not wear it. Sejong stipulates that ministers must ride horses when entering Xiyuan, while Xia Yan takes a sedan chair. These make Sejong like Yan Song more and alienate Xia Yan. Yan Song behavior m

In the second quarter, after Yan Song joined the cabinet, although Xia Yan had left, his position was still under Zhai Luan, another cabinet minister. If Yan Song wants to keep records, he must get rid of Zhai Luan. Another specialty of Yan Song is that he can write green characters. Sejong prized him, not only because he was flattering and good at reading words, but also because he wrote green words well, his dictionary was elegant and elegant, his language was delicate, and every sentence was scrutinized, which often made Sejong applaud. Other ministers in the DPRK may be better at governing the country than him, but writing green words is not as good as him. In order to flatter the emperor, he used to stay in the duty room of Xiyuange every day to write green characters, and even didn't go home for several months. Sejong was very appreciative and moved, and added the official Prince Taifu to show his praise. In the twenty-second year of Jiajing, Zhai Luan's two sons were on the list, and both of them were listed as Jinshi. Zhai Luan felt very honored and overjoyed. But Yan Song, who is good at thinking, thinks there is something wrong with this happy event. He believes that Zhai Luan used his power to cheat from it, so he instigated Wang Jiao and others to participate illegally. Zhai Luan consciously wronged himself and immediately begged for a second interview to distinguish between true and false. But at that time, Sejong had long stipulated that when the minister was impeached, no excuses were allowed. Before hearing the sacred judgment, he must reflect on himself. Sejong listened to slanderers and angrily denounced Zhai Luan for not standing by and dismissing the people. After ZhaiLuan left, Yan Song took the position of records and became arrogant and overbearing. The courtiers took part in it and disintegrated him. Sejong felt uneasy about Yan Song, so he recalled Xia Yan to the cabinet, re-appointed the records, and reduced Yan Song to the second assistant. In Xia Yan's comeback, he not only despised Yan Song very much, but also attacked everywhere. Yan Song's decision, he overthrew everything; As for the people placed by Yan Song, he once refused; Yan Song is not allowed to ask all the answers. Although Yan Song was very angry, he still smiled and played on the surface. At this time, Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, became the treasurer of Shao Qing Shangshu, taking bribes and embezzling money and food. When Xia Yan found out, he was going to expose his crimes. Yan Song was frightened, and personally took Yan Shifan to Xiafu to intercede. Xia said he was ill, but he didn't see it. Yan Song had to bribe his master to come to Xia Yan's bed. Father and son knelt down to apologize. Xia Yan didn't report it. Yan Song didn't. Don't thank him for it. On the contrary, his hatred deepened and he deliberately tried to overthrow Xia Yan. Sejong longs for eternal life, eternal life. He became more and more fascinated with Taoism. Later, I simply moved from Ouchi Palace to Xiyuan, fasting more devoutly and praying for longevity. Sejong never goes to court at ordinary times, handles political affairs and conveys his will. One is to report directly to Xiyuan by courtiers, and the other is to communicate with him by eunuchs. Xia Yan looked down on eunuchs sent by Sejong and treated them as slaves. Otherwise, Yan Song, when the eunuch comes, treat him as a guest of honor and make a donation. In this way, the eunuchs speak well of Yan Song in front of Sejong, while denigrating Xia Yan. In order to supervise the minister, Sejong often sent eunuchs to observe his words and deeds at night. Being weak, Xia Yan went to bed early at night. Yan Song, who was informed by eunuchs around Sejong, did not dare to slack off and kept writing green words with candles. Xia Yan and Yan Song were lucky at first, because they were good at writing green words. At this time, Sejong still asked them to write green words every time they fasted. Xia Yan often ordered his staff to write for him, or gave Sejong the patchwork he had written before. Sejong had seen it before and often threw it on the ground. Yan Song has both literary talent and meticulous composition, and his clear ci is appreciated by Sejong. The eunuchs reported these situations to Sejong, who gradually became dissatisfied with Xia Yan and reused Yan Song. Yan Song began to plan to bring down Xia Yan completely. However, Xia Yan's failure was a complicated event. In 543, he served as Commander-in-Chief of the Trilateral Army and won great trust.

When Yan Song saw that the time had come, he said that Xia Yan was so cruel that he couldn't I couldn't work with him anymore, so he asked to resign. Sejong persuaded him, ordered to retire after a full meal, and sent a security guard to arrest Zeng. Yan Song falsely accused him of corruption, bribed courtiers, sentenced him to death and beheaded him. Get rid of Xia Yan, Yan Song didn't stop there. Knowing that Sejong is a person who cherishes his short life and is easily ashamed and resentful, he ordered people to release rumors in the palace, saying that Xia Yan complained when he left Beijing, saying that the emperor ordered himself to reward him with a letter, but now it is like this. This carefully planned provocation made Sejong very angry, and Xia Yan was arrested on his way home. He tried his best to avenge himself, telling that he had been framed by Yan Song. However, at this time, the Tatars invaded Juyongguan, and Yan Song tried to kill him on the charge of opening a border dispute with Xia Yan. Finally, he was accused of colluding with Zeng, beheading and abandoning the body according to the collusion between courtiers and businessmen. Xia Yan's wife was also implicated and exiled to Guangxi. From then on, no one could compete with Yan Song for records, and Yan Song monopolized the power. Section 3. The tendency of power in the world is always associated with money. Yan Song is greedy for money, whether he is promoted or not. If he commits a crime, he wants to get away with it. Whenever officers and men are elected, Yan Song personally arranges more than 20 places, and each place demands a bribe of several hundred yuan. Among them, Shangshu didn't bribe Zhiyuan with Yan Song's twelve thousand gold and got promoted. A juren, Pan Hongye, bribed 22,000 gold in Yan Song, and was appointed as a famous Linqing in Shandong. After Gansu company commander Qiu Luan went to prison, he bribed Yan Shifan with 3200 gold through his family, and was released to become a frontier general. Zhao Wenhua, the minister of the Ministry, was demoted from Beijing to a national judge for taking bribes. He also bribed Yan Song with a large sum of money and worshipped Yan Song as michel platini. So, he re-entered the DPRK, promoted to a higher position and became Yan Song's confidant. Yan Song was afraid that his evil deeds would be reported, so he asked Zhao Wenhua to be the special envoy of the General Political Department, because the complaint could only be sent to Sejong through the General Political Department, so that he could know and handle it in advance. How many adopted sons does Yan Song have? Even he can. I'm not sure. In short, he planted cronies in some important departments. Yu Judas, a famous anti-Japanese, is honest. Don't flatter him when he wins. Yan Song ordered his henchmen to frame him and put him in prison. Many North Korean officials cherish the 3,200 pieces of silver he collected to bribe Yan Shifan. I saved my life, but I was sent to Datong to guard the border. Yan Song and his son were worried that their crimes would be exposed one day, so they smuggled a lot of gold and silver to their hometown in Jiangxi. Once I went back to my hometown to visit my relatives, Yan Song and the United States had dozens of carriages, 40 carriages and 10 ships. Even he thinks this scale is too scary. In order to deceive all the places along the way, these ships were stamped with official seals. Therefore, Yan Shifan once made a slip of the tongue after drinking: The imperial court is not as rich as me! When I arrived at Yan Song's former residence, people realized that Yan Shifan's words were not crazy. There are more than 30 thousand pieces of gold and more than 200 thousand pieces of silver. Treasures and antiques may be worth millions of silver dollars. With these possessions, life is bound to be extremely extravagant and decadent. Yan Shifan alone has 27 concubines. They often sing at night and live a luxurious life. In this way, Yan Shifan is not only not ashamed of corruption, but also proud of it. He often proudly said that the imperial court was not as happy as me! Many ministers can. I want to impeach Yan Song for corruption and bribery. The fatuous Sejong not only didn't chase him, but defended him. Yan Song never relented and brutally persecuted his impeachers. On one occasion, Yang Jisheng, the minister of the Ministry of War, exposed Yan Song's top ten crimes and five crimes of rape, and listed Yan Song's crimes one by one. Sejong is very popular with Yan Song at this time. He was furious after receiving the letter and ordered Yang Jishi.

In the 14th year of Jiajing, Yan Song attached the ending of a major case in Yang Jisheng and played it. Sejong, as always, approved the execution without looking closely. Yan Song killed Yang Jisheng so easily. Yan Shifan Yan Song's only son, also known as the East Building, is short and chubby, with a thick neck and one eye, but he is quite familiar with national laws, understands the current situation and is smart. Yan Song loves him the most. Yan Shifan didn't take the imperial examination, so he went to the Ministry of Industry as an assistant minister by his own power. Although flattery is Yan Song's way of replying letters and handling government affairs, it lags far behind his son. Yan Song is a member of the Cabinet. He is almost seventy years old, so he is slow to respond. In addition, Sejong worships the Xuan, and the imperial edicts are often mysterious, which makes Yan Song puzzled, while Yan Shifan is clear at a glance. Sejong's suggestion, through his suggestion, is often in line with Sejong's wishes. Seeing that his son was more capable than himself, Yan Song took all the documents home for his son to correct. Every department wants Yan Song to rule something. General manager Yan Song said, let me discuss it with the children in the East Building. Therefore, both inside and outside the imperial court said: The emperor can't live without Yan Song, and neither can Yan Song. I can't live without his son. Some people simply call them father and son big prime minister and little prime minister. Yan Shifan's favorite thing to do is to play with the power that his father stole from the emperor. Assistant minister Wang has an ancient painting. Yan Shifan wanted to keep it for himself, so he sent for it. But Wang's confession failed to make him give up what he wanted, so he only took out a fake. I didn't. I didn't expect Yan Shifan to be an expert in this field. He saw at a glance that it was false. Yan Shifan was so angry that he sent someone to frame the king for repenting and guarding the border. Later, in order to vent his anger at his son, Yan Song killed Wang. Section IV: The rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty had a system called draft, that is, all important documents of the court were drafted by cabinet records, written on the draft, and submitted to the emperor for examination through eunuchs. Yan Song is almost eighty years old, and it is hard for him to avoid lack of energy and poor eyesight. It turned out that the atypical old Bailey was his son Yan Shifan, who often entered the cabinet for him. When he saw the emperor's will, it was probably for him, so Yan Song gave it away. However, when Jiajing was forty years old, it happened that his wife Ouyang Shi died. Because Yan Shifan had to mourn after his mother died. With death, he could not enter the cabinet to look after the house. Sometimes Yan Song sent someone to find it, and when he was with the concubines, he didn't want to think about the imperial edict of Sejong, and his answer was sloppy and unclear. Sometimes Sejong pushed him too hard, so Yan Song had to bite the bullet and answer himself. Because of poor eyesight and slow response, words often fail to reach their meaning, and they gradually lose the favor of Sejong. In the first month of Cargill's 40th year, Sejong and Chongji set off fireworks in Xiyuan. Unexpectedly, the fire spread carelessly and burned to Wanshou Palace, so they moved their capital to Yuxi Palace. Because the palace is small, he leads a melancholy life, so he wants to build a new palace. Yan Song only thinks about Sejong. He didn't want to live in ouchi, so he let sejong move to the palace. This is the father of the place where Yingzong was imprisoned when he was emperor. Sejong was very unhappy after hearing this. At that time, Xu Jie was appointed as the Minister of does, and he was also a university student in Dongge. Seeing that Yan Song's suggestion was not adopted, he immediately asked to rebuild the Hall of Eternal Life, which was exactly what Sejong wanted. From then on, Sejong trusted Xu Jie, and Yan Song was not allowed to ask about any major military affairs. There was a Taoist named Landaoxing, and Sejong liked him very much. Once, Sejong asked Landau why it was not peaceful today. Landaoxing and Yan Song were in conflict. He took this opportunity to say: Yan Song and his son are treacherous and scheming for power, but if they can't get away, it's hard for them to get in. Sejong asked again: In that case, why didn't Shi Shangxian punish them? Landaoxing also said through the mouth of the immortal: Leave it to the emperor to get justice. Zou Yinglong learned about this situation.

The wealth of Yan Song historians was completely confiscated, cut into civilians, lost their lives and even lost their security. Finally, he died of poverty and disease.
