Chapter 295 Yan Song Gains Power
When these words appeared in front of Emperor Jiajing, he immediately shouted: "Where is Xia Yan now? Hurry up and chase him back!"

In Daming, officials often make mistakes, because Daming encourages people to speak out, and it doesn’t matter if you make mistakes, as long as you can survive, it is not impossible to make a comeback.

But there are a few mistakes, but they must not be messed with. One is counted as a vassal king entering Beijing without authorization, and the other is counting as making friends with close officials.

And it is also a rule for ministers to make friends with close servants!
Because they all hide an implicit meaning - plotting evil.

Why do you make friends with a valet?Is it to monitor the emperor?

Whether it is the king of heaven or Lao Tzu, or the bandit of Jiangyang, as long as he dares to touch the highest imperial power, he will surely die.

In the 11th year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing once asked Lu Bing to make friends with his ministers. Lu Bing was clever and used the excuse of "the ministers are insiders, not foreign ministers" to eliminate disasters and solve difficulties.Lu Bing is the baby brother of Emperor Jiajing, and he is still under strict guard, not to mention Xia Yan is the chief assistant of the dynasty?People who often fight against Jiajing!
At this time, Xia Yan had just arrived in Tongzhou. After all, he had been working in the court for so many years, and he was already mentally prepared, so when he heard that someone said he was going to take him back, he didn't panic, but sat in his own carriage. He asked calmly, "What is my crime?"

But when the four-character answer of "make friends with a close servant" reached his ears, Xia Yan collapsed in an instant, and only said one sentence: "I'm doomed!" and fell off the car.

Xia Yan who returned to the capital tried to defend himself, but it didn't work.

Xia Yan smiled wryly: "I'm going to die in Yan Song's hands this time...".

In April, Xia Yan was sent to Fusi Prison.

Lu Bing originally thought that he would be happy that Xia Yan was locked in his own territory.But when he walked to the gate of the imperial prison, he stopped in his tracks, finally sighed, turned and left.

He has seen too many farewells, from relatives...father, wife...to friends...Tang Long, Zhang Fujing...to political enemies...Chen Hong, Bi Yun, Sun Hong...etc...

He lost too many extremely important people in his life, and there were too many enemies who fell in front of him and behind him...

He no longer had that youthful, high-spirited, happy heart...

At this time, he only had the sorrow of the rabbit dying and the fox mourning.

Who knows who's next... whose turn?

On the second day of October, Xia Yan was killed in the West City of the capital at the age of 67.

His wife Su was exiled in Guangxi, his nephew Xia Kecheng, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and his nephew Shang Baosi Cheng Xia Chaoqing lost their nationality.

Xia Yan started from a humble beginning, heroic and talented, he argued vertically and horizontally.

A person can have a whole body of advantages, but may be wiped out by one or two disadvantages, such as—conceited?For example - headstrong?For example—too overbearing...

……

After Xia Yan's death, Yan Song returned to the throne of the chief assistant again.

Since then, there is no veteran official in the court who can compete with Yan Song.Lu Bing and Yan Song colluded to oppress those corrupt officials and controlled all the channels for making black money in the world.Lu Mansion and Yan Mansion became the richest and most powerful mansions in Ming Dynasty.

Yan Song was very good at following Emperor Jiajing's wishes. Emperor Jiajing lived in the Wanshou Palace in Xiyuan, and he only practiced Taoism and made alchemy every day, ignoring the government and leaving power behind.Yan Song and Yan Shifan's father and son acted on cronyism, recruited party members, and gradually controlled the Ming court.

And Qiu Luan also joined Yan's family and became Yan Song's capable confidant.

Qiu Luan spent a lot of money on the father and son of the Yan family, and finally fell into the eyes of Emperor Jiajing. Qiu Luan was very smart, and he fell in love with Emperor Jiajing, made good friends with Taoist priests and warlocks, and learned the truth of Taoism. Appreciation is added.

……

In the 11th year of Jiajing, Lu Bing helped Tang Long repel Alak Khan, but Ji Nang Jinong and Al Da did not leave the border of Daming with Alak Khan.

In the 11th and 13th years of Jiajing, Ji Nang Jinong took Alda to conquer Qinghai twice, defeating the old enemies Yebulu and Bu'erhai, and annexed them.It became the biggest force in the Mongolian grassland after Alak Khan left.

In the 12th year of Jiajing, Datong was mutinied and Li Jin was killed. Ji Nang Jinong also led his troops into Datong to aid the rebellious Datong soldiers.The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty mutinied, and most of them fled to Mongolia.

Afterwards, Ji Nang Jinong repeatedly plundered Ming Xuanfu, Datong, Liangzhou and other places, posing a serious threat to the northwestern border of Ming Dynasty.

However, since the 17th year of Jiajing, Ji Nang Jinong once again led his troops to attack Wuliangha Wanhu, and finally conquered it.

Since then, Ji Nang Jinong gradually indulged in wine and sex, ignored military affairs, and the power fell into the hands of Al Da.After his death, [-] right-wing households were controlled by Alda, and Jinong's power declined day by day.

At this time, the vast grasslands outside the north of Daming were ruled by Alda.

In February of the 28th year of Jiajing, Ida invaded Datong on a large scale and reached Huailai.

Datong commanded Jiang Han and Dong Yang to fight, but died of exhaustion and helplessness.

Zhou Shangwen, the commander-in-chief, led tens of thousands of troops, chased him to Caojiazhuang, and defeated Al Da.

Zhao Guozhong, the general of Xuanfu, was defeated in Hutuo again.Governor Weng Wanda led elite troops to reinforce, but I was defeated.

On April 28th in the 160th year of Jiajing, Governor Weng Wanda requested to build the inner and outer sides. It is planned to start from Xinningdun on Xinning East Road and go north to Liutaizi, which is not the inner wall. Nineteenth, to defend the capital and control the North Road.

The south pier of East Road Town and the Huoyan pier of Jizhou are hollow and unblocked, and the south, north, and west of the town are also undiscussed fortresses, and they should be repaired to avoid danger.Please return the soldiers of the fortress.At that time, the guest soldiers were transferred, and the main soldiers were on the sidelines. From summer to winter, they gathered together and did not disperse.Therefore, the guest soldiers in the fortress and the main soldiers in distant places can withdraw after winter, while the local soldiers on the road remain as they are.

Emperor Jiajing agreed.

In June of the 29th year of Jiajing, I Da once again invaded Datong, destroyed the side wall and entered, ambushing elite soldiers in the ditch, and lured the officers and soldiers to attack by riding around with old and weak horses.

Zhang Da, the commander-in-chief, underestimated the enemy, and led his troops to attack before joining forces, and was killed when he fell from his horse in ambush.Lin Chun, the deputy commander in chief, was unable to rescue Zhang Dawei and died in battle.I answer to cut off his head and return it.

Afterwards, Jin Yiwei arrested the governor's servant Guo Zonggao and the governor's capital censor Chen Yao and sent him to prison. Guo Zonggao was banished and Chen Yaozhang died.Emperor Jiajing issued a decree to present Zhang Da Zuo Dudu and Lin Chun Dudu Tongzhi, and set up shrines for spring and autumn sacrifices.

I answer that there will be intrusions on the Northland every year, but this year is even worse!
Since then, the northern land of the Ming Dynasty has been raging with flames of war, and the flames of war have risen again!
At this time, there was an uproar in Beijing because of this matter. Even Emperor Jiajing couldn't feel at ease to practice Taoism in the deep palace, so he had no choice but to come out to take care of state affairs.

Zhang Da, the commander-in-chief of Datong, was killed. Hou Luan of Xianning took this opportunity to bribe Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, to become the commander-in-chief of Datong.

Qiu Luan originally thought that I won the good answer and would not come again, and it was already July and August, and it was time to recuperate, so he came to Datong with peace of mind to take up his post.
