Moreover, he is good at observing words and feelings and acting according to the wishes of the emperor. Jiajing devotes himself to monasticism, and Yan Song has been managing state affairs for him.

Historically, Yan Song's notoriety far outweighed his achievements.

He is known as the "Prime Minister of Qing Dynasty", and he is good at winning the favor of the emperor by some deviant methods and confusing the emperor with superstition. He often uses his power to exclude dissidents and hurt loyalty. When dealing with state affairs, he only considers his own interests, regardless of the interests of the country and the people.
