In the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing, there were still three years left before the Yan family was destroyed.
Standing at this point in time, Yan Shaoqing knew every word written in the history books: Yan Song was dismissed as prime minister, Yan Shifan was killed, and everyone was exiled. No one was spared.
He wanted to escape. But looking through history books, he discovered one thing -
The Yan family fell, and the Ming Dynasty was not much better.
What really dragged the Ming Dynasty into the abyss was not the strict party, but those clear-minded people who spoke of benevolence, righteousness and morality. They use morality to kidnap the government and use public opinion to strangle capable ministers. When disaster strikes, each one will run faster than the other.
There is no escape. Just do it.
For three years, he walked a tightrope under Jiajing's nose——
Borrow the sword of the Yan family to cut down the most dangerous clear stream;
Cultivate your own team in the gap between the two parties;
Little by little, turn the resources of the Yan family into your own bargaining chips.
Enemies on two sides, suspicion on three sides, one wrong step will lead to an abyss.
Three years.
It's enough for him to make a comeback, but it's also enough for him to be doomed.
