How did Xu Jie overthrow Yan Song and his son?

Yan Song's method of toppling Xia Yan was to use the Emperor's power to make enemies of Xia Yan everywhere. He also constantly slandered Xia Yan, saying that Xia Yan was disloyal, and finally succeeded in toppling Xia Yan. Yan Song took advantage of Xia Yan's support to make his wings grow strong, and then turned his spearhead to Xia Yan. He also bribed the eunuchs around Emperor Jiajing. When the court was discussing the matter of recovering the Hetao, he sent a large number of memorials about famine, rebellion, and border defeat to Emperor Jiajing, shaking his determination to recover the Hetao. In addition, Yan Song also used the Jiajing Emperor's belief in Taoism to urge Taoist alchemists to report to the Jiajing Emperor, saying that the astronomical phenomena showed that it was unwise to recover the Hetao at this time, and that it was impossible to recover the Hetao. In the end, Yan Song successfully pushed Xia Yan into the abyss of destruction.

Xu Jie and Yan Song were both described as corrupt officials during the Ming Dynasty. However, there was no clear answer to the question of who was more greedy. Some documents mentioned that Xu Jie embezzled a large number of people and occupied a lot of land, but there were also some documents that portrayed his image more positively. Similarly, Yan Song was also described as a corrupt official, but his corruption was even more serious and vile. In general, although Xu Jie and Yan Song were both considered corrupt officials, there was not enough information to determine who was more corrupt.

Yan Song and Xu Jie wore different official hats in the drama " Ming Dynasty 1566 ". This was because the props staff of the production team did not understand the official uniform system of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Jie was wearing a court hat, while Yan Song was wearing a Ming Dynasty official hat. The court uniform was the uniform worn by the civil and military officials on special occasions, while the official uniform was the uniform worn by the officials on normal days. To be specific, Xu Jie was wearing a five-beam crown, which was worn by officials of the Ming Dynasty on occasions such as sacrifice, New Year's Day, winter solstice, holy festival, issuing edict, opening reading, presenting table, passing system, etc. Yan Song was wearing the official hat of the Ming Dynasty. The specific shape and grade distribution were not obvious. In short, the official hats of Yan Song and Xu Jie in the TV series were different because the props staff had limited understanding of the Ming Dynasty official uniform system.

Xu Jie lived a relatively peaceful life in his later years and enjoyed a longer life, living to more than eighty years old. He had experienced a lot of depression and struggles in his early years, but in his later years, he welcomed the dawn. Xu Jie took the Jinshi examination as a young talent and started from the Ministry of Rites, gradually advancing. The peak of his career was the battle against Yan Song, and he finally defeated his opponent in 1562. After Yan Song fell from power, Xu Jie fulfilled his many years of expectations and became the chief of the cabinet. However, despite the harmony between the monarch and his subjects on the surface, there was actually a deep hatred between them. After the death of Emperor Jiajing, Xu Jie wrote a posthumous edict, taking the opportunity to vent his anger and wash away the grievances of the officials who were punished. He also bluntly stated that Jiajing was unfilial to the country and his ancestors. Xu Jie's life in his later years was relatively peaceful, but his fear still troubled him. There was no mention of his family and property in the literature.

Xu Jie married his granddaughter to Yan Song's grandson as a concubine. This behavior was to please Yan Song and get close to him. This decision made Yan Song relax his vigilance against Xu Jie.

Some results showed that Xu Jie's granddaughter eventually returned to the Xu family, but her identity had changed, while others mentioned that Xu Jie's granddaughter was poisoned to death by Xu Jie's son. Due to the inconsistent information in the search results, it was impossible to determine whether Xu Jie's granddaughter eventually became Yan Song's grandson's concubine.
