Yan Shifan, who was known as a ghost talent during the Jiajing period, how smart was he?

Yan Shifan was the son of Yan Song, the minister of power during the Jiajing period, and became an official through his father's prestige, and of course he was also powerful.

Yan Shifan has a long fat and short neck, and one eye is blind, but he is witty and good at figuring out the minds of others, so he can succeed and fail. <>

In Yan Song's later years, Yan Song served as the first assistant again, but Yan Song was old after all, his energy was low, and he had to accompany Emperor Jiajing day and night, so he had no time to deal with his own government affairs, so he gave full authority to his son Yan Shifan to take care of, and Yan Shifan was also in power for a while.

Moreover, Yan Song was old, and some green words or chapters were not as good as Emperor Jiajing's intentions, so some of them were written by Yan Shifan on his behalf, and every time they were written, they were very in line with the emperor's intentions.

There is such a small story to illustrate Yan Shifan's cleverness, once Emperor Jiajing voted to let Yan Song discuss this matter with the scholar Xu Jie, Yan Song and Xu Jie discussed many times and felt that it was not worthy of the emperor's will, so Yan Song hurriedly took this out to Yan Shifan and asked him to write, and Emperor Jiajing was also very impatient during this period and urged several times, and they had to submit what they had written to Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing was very dissatisfied, but then Yan Shifan wrote it in, and Emperor Jiajing was very satisfied. <>

Since then, Yan Song has attached more importance to Yan Shifan, everything of Emperor Jiajing has been written by Yan Shifan, and Yan Shifan has often been rewarded by Emperor Jiajing when he quotes scriptures.

Emperor Jiajing also likes to read books on scriptures and history, and when he encounters difficulties, he asks Yan Song, Yan Song does not understand his meaning and hurriedly sends it to the Prime Minister's Mansion to let Yan Shifan read it, Yan Shifan only looked at it and said which book and which pages it is, Yan Song found someone to look through it, and sure enough, Emperor Jiajing was also very satisfied with the explanation.

And Yan Shifan is energetic, although he is busy with business, he still drinks and entertains, sometimes he gets drunk, it just happens that Yan Song has something to ask, he only needs a hot towel to put on his face, wrap his head, and write it immediately, and he writes it very thoroughly. <>

Yan Shifan is smart and witty, erudite, well-versed in national classics, familiar with current affairs, and good at figuring out people's will, he is really smart, but he is not used in the right way.

Yan Shifan had a strong political mind, his thinking was very flexible, he was very good at figuring out the holy will, and he was also very tactful, and many people in the court were afraid of him at that time.

Yan Shifan can be said to be extremely smart, he is very good at observing words and feelings, knows what the emperor thinks, and sees the emperor's heart clearly, which is quite powerful.

Yan Shifan is very familiar with the functions and powers of the court and the local **, who is fat and poor, who is Qingshui Yamen, it is clear, so no one can spend a little money to do big things, "nothing can be hidden". When it comes to the poems and books that many students have to take the imperial examination, some erudite and talented old scholars may not have memorized them all, but Yan Shifan can repeat and recite them as soon as he opens his mouth. The most important thing is that he has mastered the emperor's private hobbies with his witty mind, and winning the emperor's heart is equivalent to winning the government, which is really daunting.

He can think about things very thoroughly, think of both good and bad, and will not let himself get caught up in these things.

Yan Shifan is very good at writing green words, and the green words he wrote made Emperor Jiajiajing temporarily praise, and he is also very good at figuring out Jiajing's thoughts. Therefore, Yan Song can always be favored in front of Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiaqing is known as the smartest emperor of the Ming Dynasty, at the age of fifteen, he can worship Yang Tinghe, the veteran of the Three Dynasties, gain a firm foothold in the court, and turn the cabinet chiefs and assistants around, but this is such a person, Yan Shifan can play him, doesn't this show that he is smart?
