In the Ming Dynasty, because Zhu deducted his salary every month, after Zhu's death, officials of various dynasties started the mode of collecting money crazily. It is estimated that Zhu will be very angry when he is alive, among which Yan Song and his son are the most greedy.

Yan Song (1480? 1567), the word is only in the middle. In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi (1505), he was a scholar of the B Ugly Department.

A famous minister in Ming dynasty, he was good at national politics for twenty years. He is a senior official of the official department, a university student, a mentor of the young Fu and the Prince, and a university student of the Hehe Hall. He joined the cabinet at the age of 63 and has the right to invade the ruling and opposition parties.

Relying on their own identities, Yan Song and Yan Shifan's father and son made crazy money, and finally the property at home was shocking.

So how much money did Yan Song embezzle? According to Tianshui Iceberg Record, only his mansion in Beijing, Jiangxi Province, was sealed up, including: 1. 3 pieces of pure gold utensils185 pieces, weighing two pieces 1 1 0,000; Second, 857 jade articles; Third, 267 pairs of earrings and earrings; Four, 14300 pieces of satin and silk velvet; More than 27,300 fan handles; 5. There are more than 3,300 first-home shops in Nanchang and Fenyi. The total value is about 3-4 billion yuan.

Corrupt officials, such as Xiao Shenyang, the most famous first corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty, earned as much as 800 million taels of silver. In the Ming Dynasty, several people were greedy for ink without losing the share of Shenyang, including Yan Song and Liu Jin. Today, I will briefly introduce Yan Song and his son, the first corrupt officials in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty.

Yan Song was an official for many years during Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. Although he made his fortune late, he is well versed in officialdom philosophy. At first, he attached himself to the original record of Xia Yan, and kept getting closer to Emperor Jiajing. Everything was in his own interest. For example, because Jiajing believed in Taoism very much at that time, Yan Song usually worked hard to suit his own interests (the green word refers to the practice of Taoist priests, that is, to set up an altar to play the god chapter). In addition, Yan Song is very good at speculating and catering to Sejong's will when dealing with the paper at ordinary times. Later, Xia Yan gradually lost the emperor's will because he violated Emperor Jiajing, then fell out of favor, turned to Yan Song for success, and finally entered the cabinet to record.
