Second, be honest and loyal to the official
Yan Zhenqing was very honest and upright when he was an official. He once led the army to take part in quelling the Anshi Rebellion. Yan Zhenqing used his own strategy to deceive An Lushan and was loyal to the imperial court. After the Anshi Rebellion was pacified, Yan Zhenqing made great contributions, and was called into the DPRK as the minister of punishments, and then he was promoted in succession. Because Yan Zhenqing dared to remonstrate with the emperor, but he offended other officials in the imperial court, Yan Zhenqing's remonstrance was often blocked by the minister, and Yan Zhenqing insisted on it again and again. Later, he offended the Prime Minister Yang Yan, and was demoted to become Prince Shao Shi, who had no real power and was finally pushed out of Kyoto. Therefore, when Yan Zhenqing was an official, he was jealous of other dignitaries because of his integrity in serving the imperial court, and eventually lost his official position.
