The number one sycophant of the Ming Dynasty

In the Jiajing era, what constituted top-tier flattery? It wasn't kneeling and shouting "Your Majesty is wise!" It was making the emperor feel "He can't do without you." What Chen Han brought from the office wasn't Machiavellian tactics, but a set of ultimate problem-solving skills. When the offerings for Prince Yu's sacrifice went wrong, he quietly made his superior take the blame. The leader's face was saved, and the blame was averted. When Vice Minister Sun tried to reprimand him, he cleverly elevated Miss Sun to the center of the elite social circle. His superior owed him a favor, yet couldn't find fault with it. When Yan Song's cronies tried to win him over, he accepted the invitation with a smile, then immediately sold the favor to Xu Jie. Both sides felt they had profited. As the Jiajing Emperor flipped through his memorials in the deep palace, he suddenly asked the eunuch beside him, "That Chen fellow in the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, has he never made a mistake?" The eunuch thought for a moment, then replied, "Your Majesty, his work is flawless; you can't find a single imperfection." Jiajing put down his memorials and smiled, "I like this kind of person. Someone who never makes a mistake is the least likely to embarrass me." Everyone in the Ming court understood. Chen Han wasn't flattering him; he was reassuring everyone. And for Jiajing, face was the most important thing in his life.
