Yan Song was a treacherous court official in the Ming Dynasty. Xu Jie is called a "real villain" mostly because of a traitor like Yan Song. Xu Jie was promoted and recommended by Yan Song when he served as cabinet records before and after Emperor Jiajing, so his promotion was secondary. Although Yan Song persecuted Xia Yan, Xu Jie's mentor, he was also a great traitor of the dynasty.

But for Xu Jie, he was also a generous colleague, but in the end, it was Xu Jie, the official who was recommended for promotion, who finally killed Yan Song's beloved son Yan Shifan.

Not only that, the most important thing is the means used by Xu Jie to pull Yan Song, which can be said to be a very dirty means. In the end, Yan Song and his son were framed and brought down in one fell swoop. He won the desired victory by hook or by crook in the political struggle, and watched his teacher Xia Yan being persecuted to death by Yan Song. He never stood up silently, but also ingratiated himself with others to keep his position at that time.

Jeff did whatever it took to achieve her goal for her plan and to keep her position during her promotion. Therefore, the evaluation of Xu Jie has two sides. Some people say that he is an honest official, does not recruit power and does not take bribes, while another kind of speech tests tolerance and obedience, which can only be said to be "Old Licorice Pavilion". Although he won the trust of the emperor after bringing down the traitor Yan Song, he was a hero. After Xu Jie came to power, he changed the political views of Emperor Jiajing, used perverse actions and plunged the society into chaos.

As the saying goes, small wisdom does not mean great wisdom, and Xu Jie is such a villain. A very clever place must be when he dug his own grave. After the death of Emperor Jiajing, Yu Wang returned to his hometown after he succeeded to the throne, and his two sons were exiled and died of natural causes.
