In "The Wind Rises in Luoyang", Feng Yulang, who is in charge of the internal guard and acts as a pawn of the saint, although his body is ill, he has a calm and introverted personality, and is still a sister who regards his sister as his destiny.
Many people in addition to chasing the drama have speculated about the prototype of the good brother Wu Youduo in history, some people think that Wu Youduo is the King of Wei Wu Chengsi, and some think that Wu Youju is the Dingwang Wuyouji (ji).
In fact, judging from the information displayed in the plot, these two speculations are not correct, and the prototype of Wu Youzhi in history is neither Wu Chengsi nor Wu Youji, but Wu Youning, the king of Jianchang County.
As we all know, the historical prototype of wu shenxing, the king of Jin, in "The Wind Rises in Luoyang", is the Liang king Wu Shensi, in the play, Wu Youzhi calls the jin king Wu Shen act as a cousin, and he is respectful to Wu Shenxing, and he will kneel down at every turn.
And the historical Wu Chengsi, although he was born in the second house, he was the cousin of Wu Sansi, and the head of the Wu family, the second generation of Zhou Guogong, who was appointed by Wu Zetian, ranked first among the Wu clan nephews in the empress's heart, and the official position has always been higher than Wu Sansi, and Wu Sansi must also be subordinate to him.
Moreover, the historical Wu Chengsi died long before the crown prince was ordained, and even if Prince Ma gave him a life in the play to let him live to the Chang'an years, only Wu Sansi was humble in front of Wu Chengsi, and there would never be a situation where Wu Chengsi would kneel for Wu Sansi at every turn.
Therefore, the archetypal figure of Wu Youzhi is definitely not Wu Chengsi, and Prince Ma, who is familiar with history, will not make such a low-level mistake.
The historical Wu Youji was the grandson of the empress's second uncle, Wu Shirang, who was posthumously crowned king of Chu, and his father was Wu Huaiyuan, a cousin who was killed by the empress.
Wu You was the first prince of Qiancheng (sheng) County, the second married empress dowager's old daughter Princess Taiping, so she was promoted to the title of Ding Wang; Chang'an Zhong was demoted to the king of Shouchun County; after Emperor Zhongzong was restored to the throne; when Emperor Zhongzong was restored, he was demoted to the king of Leshou County; because he died before Princess Taiping and Xuanzong fought, he was posthumously named Ding Wang by Emperor Ruizong, with the title of Zhongjian.
With the identity and status of Wu Youji, not only is he the only horse master in Great Zhou, but also the third ranked Zong Wang among the descendants of Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, so in front of his cousin Wu Sansi, he will not be as humble as Wu Youzhi in the play, and he will often kneel down to Wu Shenxing, otherwise, where will the arrogant Princess Taiping's face go?
Besides, Wu Youji was the empress's son-in-law, and most of the time he acted as a mascot from on high, and he never held any official positions at all, so the historical prototype of Wu Youji would definitely not be Wu Youji.
So, who will be the historical prototype of Wu Youduo in "The Wind Rises in Luoyang"?
In fact, it is very easy to guess that although the empress made a bunch of relatives and nephews and cousins king, she removed the early death of Xuancheng County Wang Wu Jingdao, Jiujiang County Wang Wu Yougui, Heng'an County Wang Wu Youzhi, and Yingchuan County Wang Wu Zaide.
In addition to the nameless Wang Wu Shangbin of Hejian County, and Wang Wu of Gaoping County, there are only a few that can be used, namely, King Wu Yizong of Hanoi County, Wu Sizong of Linchuan County, King Wu Youyi of Jian'an County, Wang Wu Youwang of Huijian County, and King Wu Youning of Jianchang County.
However, the brothers Wu Yizong and Wu Sizong led the troops out; Wu Youyi and Wu Youwang stayed in Xijing most of the time; the only high-ranking people who remained with Empress Shendu were Wu Youning, and Wu Youning was also among the wu clan's disciples, second only to Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi, and Wu Youji, and the fourth rank of the Zong King.
Wu Youning is Wu Youji's cousin, but also the grandson of Wu Youji, his father is the early death of Wu Huaidao, the Old Book of Tang records that Wu Youning is Wu Youji's brother, are the sons of Wu Huaidao, in fact, there is a mistake, from the epitaph of Wu Youji's grandson Wu Chong, it can be seen that Wu Youji is the grandson of Wu Youji and the son of Wu Huaiyuan, so they are cousins.
Wu Youning first served as a Fengge Shilang, and in the first year of the first year, when his cousin Wu Chengsi replaced Su Liangsi as Wenchang Zuoxiang, Tongfengge Luantai Sanpin, and Zhi Neishi, Wu Youning, who was a Fengge Shilang, was promoted to Nayan.
On the ninth day of the first month of September in the first year of the Heavenly Mandate, Wu Zetian established the Great Zhou, changed the Yuan Heavenly Mandate, and granted amnesty to the world. On the thirteenth day, the Seven Temples of the Wu Clan were enshrined as the kings of the clan and the feudal King of Changjun, who was the nephew of the Empress Dowager, and sealed four hundred households.
At this time, Wu Youning's position among the wu clan's disciples was second only to Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, and he was still above Wu Youji, who was then the general of the Right Guard, and after Wu You and Shang Lord, he dipped the light of princess Taiping and became the third person of the Wu clan, and Wu Youning was demoted to the fourth.
After that, Wu Youning successively served as NaYan, Zuo Yulin Dada, Dongguan Shangshu, Xiaguan Shangshu, Tongfengge Luantai Pingzhangshi and other positions, before the Holy Calendar, he and Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi continued to be the country, very trusted by the Empress, and when Wu Zetian wanted to deal with private secrets, he was entrusted to Wu Youning to handle.
According to historical records, Wu Youning was well known for doing two private affairs for the empress, the first of which was to kill the male concubine Xue Huaiyi.
Xue Huaiyi, that is, Feng Xiaobao, was the empress's first favored male concubine, and when the feelings were strong, the empress was very generous, giving Xue Huaiyi various fame and status, making him mighty in the world, but because Xue Huaiyi was too arrogant, he finally caused the empress's disgust.
In the spring of the first year of Zhengsheng (695), Xue Huaiyi, who was not willing to fall out of favor, burned the MingTang and provoked the empress, so he ordered Wu Youning, the king of Jianchang County, to dispose of this former favorite concubine Xue Huaiyi.
At the behest of the empress, Wu Youning secretly selected more than a hundred strong and powerful palace people, and on the fourth day of the first month of February of that year, Princess Taiping came forward and summoned Xue Huaiyi to the Yaoguang Hall.
Xue Huaiyi, who did not know what was planning, had just entered the palace, and Wu Youning commanded the palace people to rush up, and Xue Huaiyi, the first favorite concubine of the Great Zhou, was worthy of being known for her Yang Dao's grandeur, and indeed she was extremely powerful, and she could still fight the trapped beasts in the group fight.
Wu Youning saw that he could not take him down for half a day, so he personally took the hammer and slammed it from behind Xue Huaiyi, and Xue Huaiyi, who was caught off guard, died of a brain split, and Princess Taiping asked Wu Youning to quietly use a car to transport Xue Huaiyi's body to the White Horse Temple, burn it and build a tower.
In April of the fourth year of Chang'an (704), the empress once again levied taxes on the monks and nuns of the world, and wanted to build a large Buddha statue in Bai Sima Han in the north of the shendu, and it was Wu Youning, who was then the Chunguan Shangshu.
Wu Youning was very able to accumulate wealth, and soon raised more than 170,000 taels of money, because the cost of the Great Buddha statue was very huge, and Li Zhao, who was also aware of the internal history of Fengge, went to advise the empress.
Li Yu suggested that the empress spread the 170,000 yuan raised to the poor people, each giving money of 1,000 yuan, and also able to help more than 170,000 households, save the people from hunger and cold, reduce the diligence of the subjects' labor, not only conform to the Buddha's compassionate heart, but also let the people feel the grace of the Son of The Holy Tomorrow, this is the joy of the gods and the infinite merits, how can it be better to help the people to seek merit in this life than to build a Buddha statue to achieve the causes of the next life!
Inspector Yushi Zhang Tingjue also advised the empress to follow the Buddha's teachings of quiet and inaction and to be exempt from labor. The empress felt that Li Zhao and Zhang Tingjue's advice was very reasonable, so she adopted the suggestion and stopped the construction of the big Buddha statue.
Judging from Wu Youning's official positions and deeds, he was more trusted by the empress's aunt than Wu Yizong, Wu Sizong and others, and what he did for the empress was also within the scope of the internal guard head of the inner guard in "The Wind Rises in Luoyang", so the historical prototype of Wu You's decision was most likely Wu Youning, the king of Jianchang County.
If Wu Sansi is mainly Based on Wu Chengsi, then Wu Youning is mainly Based on Wu Sansi, after Wu Chengsi's death, Wu Sansi became the lord of the Wu family, Wu Youji was just a mascot, and the other Wu could not be mentioned, only Wu Youning could be compared with Wu Sansi.
Therefore, during the Chang'an period at the end of the Tiantian Dynasty, the most popular martial artists in the dynasty, that is, Wu Sansi and Wu Youning, were very much in line with the character design in "The Wind Rises in Luoyang", the King of Jin, Wu Shenxing, was high up in the sky, flattered the saints, and was only a cousin of the cousin Ma Shou zhan, humble and courteous, and tried his best to cooperate.
Just when The Wu Sansi and Wu Youning brothers were in cahoots with the country, in order to accumulate wealth, they also set up a special position of envoy and arbitrarily expropriated property outside the law; nine of the ten families of the people were forced to ruin their homes, and the destroyers of the clan were seven out of ten, and the ordinary people who had been destroyed had nowhere to reason, they could only shout injustice to the heavens, and the roads were full of people who cried long and short.
Wu Youning also specially built more than two hundred large warehouses with a length of more than one hundred steps to store the looted property, but before he could use it, he encountered a natural fire and burned the large warehouse to the ground, leaving no money.
When the people heard this, they cursed him with hatred. It is said that shortly after the Heavenly Fire, Wu Youning suffered from a foot disease, his feet were swollen like an urn, and the acid was unbearable, and after a few months, he died because of it, and people said that Wu Youning had done bad things and was punished.
Through the trajectory of Wu Youning's fate, it is also possible to deduce the result of Wu Youning's decision in "Wind Rises Luoyang", he probably has to do bad things under the coercion of Wu Shenxing, and then die of an old disease, or die to save his sister, in short, he must die tragically.
Why did he say that he had to do bad things under the coercion of Wu Shenxing? Can't it be his own subjective will?
cough! After all, the fictional girl Wu Siyue in the play is a positive character! With the righteous little inner guard Ah Yue, and the brother who loves his sister, Wu Youduo, how can he be the image of being willing to do bad things?
That's it.
The image comes from the internet intrusion and deletion.
