Recently, the popularity of the costume TV series "Daming Fenghua" has made many viewers have a strong interest in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and some viewers believe that it is easy to understand that period of history by watching TV dramas, and it can be said that killing two birds with one stone. However, the night reading history books today I want to correct your mistakes and talk to you about the historical truths that "Daming Fenghua" did not tell you. Although many people think that there is no need to be too real with the TV series, it is always good for them to know more about real history.
I. What is the relationship between The Imperial Master Jing Qing and Sun Ruowei and Hu Shanxiang?
According to the character setting of "Daming Fenghua", the female number one Sun Ruowei and the female number two Hu Shanxiang are a pair of sisters, and they are both the daughters of JingQing, the imperial master of the Jianwen Dynasty. However, in real history, Jing Qing was tortured and persecuted for failing to assassinate Zhu Di, his entire clan was subjected to zhulian, the entire village where the Jing family was located was slaughtered into ruins, and no close relatives were spared. In fact, the historical "Sun Ruowei" is the daughter of Sun Zhong, the chief bookkeeper of Yongcheng County, and Hu Shanxiang is the daughter of Hu Rong, the former Jinyi Wei Baihu. One of them has lived in Henan since childhood, and the other lives in Shandong, and the relationship between the two cannot be beaten.
Second, Sun Ruowei understands the great righteousness, hu Shanxiang is sinister and cunning?
People who have watched "Daming Fenghua" know that the heroine Sun Ruowei understands the great righteousness, while Hu Shanxiang is sinister and cunning. But in real history, the personalities of these two people seem to have to be seen in reverse. The historical Hu Shanxiang was loyal and kind, and his nature was zhenyi, and he was a true empress. Although "Sun Ruowei" (only Empress Sun in history, her name is unknown) has not been recorded as any black material, she can be promoted from a noble concubine to an empress, which obviously cannot be simply understood as a pie falling from the sky. Since ancient times, harem battles have been a contest between you and me, and Hu Shanxiang, who is known for his virtuous virtue, was deposed for no reason, and Empress Sun could not be unrelated. Moreover, the historical Hu Shanxiang was suppressed by Empress Sun for the rest of her life, until Empress Sun died, and her son Emperor Mingying Emperor Zhu Qizhen restored the title of empress to Hu Shanxiang, who had been dead for many years, which shows that Empress Sun did not spare Hu Shanxiang in her lifetime.
Third, Zhu Di's fifth pro-conquest defeat?
Zhu Di in "The Style of Daming" was defeated miserably because he was self-conscious and did not listen to dissuasion during the fifth personal conquest of Mongolia. However, in the real history, Zhu Di personally conquered Mongolia five times in his lifetime, and although the merits of these five pro-conquests have been exaggerated in the history books, one thing is certain that the five pro-conquests have ended in victory and none have been defeated. It is worth mentioning that the historical Zhu Di led the Ming army to the north of Kaiping in the fifth personal conquest, but did not encounter the main force of the enemy army, some generals requested to take some people and horses deep into the enemy territory, Zhu Di was worried that too deep would be unfavorable to the Ming army, so he ordered the Banshi to return to the Dynasty. Zhu Di can be said to be one of the most capable emperors in Chinese history, how could he have made a major mistake of obstinately acting and causing the main force of the Ming army to be in a desperate situation?
Fourth, is the impact of Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion really that great?
In "The Style of The Great Ming", after the death of the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, began to rebel and gathered a huge army in Shandong, almost subverting Zhu Zhanji's court. However, the historical Zhu Gaoxu was sent by Zhu Di to Le'an, Shandong (present-day Huimin, Shandong) in the fifteenth year of Yongle (1417), and it was naturally impossible to follow Zhu Di on his expedition to Mongolia. In the first year of Xuande (1426), Zhu Gaoxu rebelled in Le'an, intending to re-replicate the "Battle of Jingnan" of that year. However, this rebellion was more like a farce, the imperial court from the dispatch of troops to the suppression of the rebellion in less than twenty days, Zhu Gaoxu's rebels only made symbolic resistance before they all raised their hands and surrendered, Zhu Gaoxu was escorted to the capital, and finally died of terrible torture.
5. Is Zhu Qiyu's biological mother Hu Shanxiang?
In "Daming Style", Sun Ruowei and Hu Shanxiang each gave birth to a son, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu, respectively, which opened the plot of the second half of the two sisters' face turn. But in real history, the main reason for Hu Shanxiang's dethronement was that he did not give birth to a son to Zhu Zhanji. The screenwriter of "Daming Fenghua" forced Hu Shanxiang to stuff a son and gave Zhu Zhanji a green hat to explain why Zhu Zhanji wanted to abolish the queen, which is a serious distortion of the historical truth. In fact, Zhu Qiyu's birth mother was another concubine of Zhu Zhanji, Concubine Wu Xian, who had no half-cent relationship with Hu Shanxiang.
6. Sun Ruowei as empress dowager?
In "The Style of Daming", after the death of Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, Sun Ruowei changed from empress to empress dowager, and handled state affairs for the young emperor as the regent empress. However, in real history, the sense of existence of "Sun Ruowei" is very low, and the person who really played the role of the actual leader of the Ming Dynasty during this special period was Zhu Zhanji's mother, Empress Zhang. Empress Dowager Zhang in "Daming Style" became more and more crazy in the later stages, almost like a bad old woman. However, the historical Empress Dowager Zhang played a very important role after Zhu Zhanji's death. To put it simply, the character settings of Sun Ruowei and the character settings of the empress dowager in "Daming Fenghua" are interchangeable, which is basically in line with the real historical situation.
7. Are Wang Zhen and Zhu Qizhen of similar age?
Wang Zhen in "Daming Fenghua" is similar in age to Emperor Zhu Qizhen, which is another place that makes people cry and laugh. The historical Wang Zhen was originally a Confucian student, and during the reign of the Yongle Emperor, a group of Confucian teachers were recruited to voluntarily enter the palace to teach the eunuchs in the harem to read and write, and Wang Zhen was one of them. Because of this, Wang Zhen's power in the palace rose rapidly, and he gradually showed the ability to influence politics. During Zhu Qizhen's childhood, Wang Zhen had been his enlightenment teacher, so Zhu Qizhen trusted him very much. On the eve of the "Change of Tumu Fort", Wang Zhen had passed the age of confusion, more than twenty years older than the young Tianzi Zhu Qizhen.
8. Has Yu Qian in history been so cattle?
There is a very important character in "Daming Fenghua" is Yu Qian, who was born in the Yongle period but was sent to the military nutrition horse. In "Daming Style", Yu Qian has many scenes, and with the deepening of the plot, his role is becoming more and more obvious. So is yu qian in real history so cattle? The answer is that there is such a cow, but there are many discrepancies with "Daming Style". In history, Yu Qian was the ninety-second place in the nineteenth year of Yongle (1421) xinuke jinshi, and there was still a big gap between him and the first rank. Yu Qian's career really began during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, who first served as Yushi (正七品), then crossed the rank and was promoted to The Right Attendant of the Bingbu (正三品), and was promoted to the post of Left Attendant of the Bingbu during the reign of Emperor Mingying Zhu Qizhen. However, before the "Tumu fort change", Yu Qian was not conspicuous in the political arena of the Ming Dynasty, and he could not discuss national affairs with the cabinet scholars all day like in "The Style of Daming". In fact, it was the "Change of Tumu Fort" and the later "Defense of Beijing" that really changed Yu Qian's historical position and life destiny.
In addition to the above hard injuries, there are still many cases of "borrowing corpses to return souls" in "Daming Fenghua". For example, the object of Zhu Di's fifth personal conquest was the Mongol coalition army composed of Mahamu, Tetsu Buhua and others, but in real history, Mahamu had died for many years during Zhu Di's fifth pro-conquest, and Te Tuo Buhua was only 2 years old at that time. There are also three cabinet scholars, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu, who are still making suggestions during the "Tumu fort change" period, and Empress Zhang is still "being a demon", but in this period of real history, these people have been dead for many years. The list goes on and on.
Although "Daming Style" is only a TV series based on entertainment, since the drama is based on history, there should not be so many hard wounds in some basic historical common sense, and it should not reverse the black and white of the characters for the sake of the plot and confuse the public. It is no wonder that many people decisively choose to abandon the drama after chasing the drama halfway, and disrespecting history may be the biggest failure of "Daming Style".
