The TV series "Wind Rises Luoyang" has been updated to the finale. The biggest villain in the play is the Spring and Autumn Road, and behind the Spring and Autumn Road is the power of the Li Tang Royal Family.
In this way, who is the last person behind the curtain is also revealed. Let's continue to look at the history behind "The Wind Rises luoyang".
The previous article mentioned that the woman who was revered as "Huan Xiang" in "Wind Rises in Luoyang" is the talented woman and poet Shangguan Wan'er in history.
She was trusted by Wu Zetian and devoted herself to helping her govern the world, and had a very high status and authority in the Wuzhou Dynasty.
During this period, Shangguan Wan'er maintained good relations with almost all the forces in the dynasty. There is only one exception!
This person is Li Longji
According to fatalism, Li Longji is the magic star of her destiny, and she will eventually perish under his hands.
In the first year of shenlong, Wu Zetian was forced to abdicate, and Emperor Zhongzong of Tang re-ascended the throne. He took Shangguan Wan'er into the harem and made her Zhaorong.
Li Xian's duties assigned to Shangguan Wan'er were to be responsible for the internal affairs management of the harem. Although this is a trust in her, it is not enough to show her full talent.
Soon, Shangguan Wan'er was in a new position and regained her life.
Shangguan Wan'er persuaded Li Xian to set up the Zhaowenguan and recruited people who had learned enough to become the Zhaowenguan scholars. At her suggestion, Li Xian repeatedly gave feasts to these literati and scholars, and accompanied them to chant poems and talk about fast drinks.
Li Xian let Shangguan Wan'er serve as the magistrate of the poetry and grade evaluation at the banquet, and the person who ranked first after her evaluation would be given a gold wine knight by Li Xian, and the scenery was incomparable.
Under the advocacy and guidance of Shangguan Wan'er, poetry became the hottest fashion, and its influence spread to every aspect of social life at that time.
Shangguan Wan'er herself also has a very high artistic standard, her poems are gentle and beautiful, the aftertaste is long, and every capital is sung in the society for a while.
In addition, she often recommended literati to Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, Li Xian, and many well-educated people received high-ranking officials through her recommendation.
It is precisely because of this that a strange phenomenon has emerged: in the officially compiled history, she is not highly evaluated, and even has a lot of smear, but the poems left by the literati have praised her.
But at this time, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't think about it so much, because it wasn't long before the relationship between her and Wei Hou's mother and daughter was rifted. The relationship between them soon changed from being intimate to being strange.
Realistically speaking, although Shangguan Wan'er is also a woman in the harem, she is completely different from Wei Hou's mother and daughter in essence.
The end of this intimate relationship is not the ungratefulness of Wei Hou's mother and daughter, but simply out of Shangguan Wan'er's disgust for their stupid behavior.
After Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian's restoration, remembering his affection with Empress Wei when he was down, he began to give her unprincipled power, allowing her to arbitrarily interfere in the government and politics, and acting recklessly but never restricting it.
As for Princess Anle, because of her bottomless coddling, she even connived at her to buy and sell official titles and make a lot of ill-gotten gains.
Shangguan Wan'er saw this situation in her eyes and was anxious in her heart. In the twenty-seven years she spent with Wu Zetian day and night, she had long been assimilated by him.
Although Wu Zetian was fierce and ruthless to his political enemies, he was absolutely intolerant of it, so that he was slandered all over the world, but he had an advantage, that is, he put state affairs first.
She understands that no matter what, we must not play a child's role in major national affairs, and at all times we must ensure that the country's political situation is stable and the country is rich and the people are safe.
In this regard, Shangguan Wan'er was no different from her.
But the mother and daughter of the Queen of Wei did not think so, they were selfish, greedy and stupid. In their minds, what internal and external troubles, people's livelihood and suffering, in front of their own pleasures, are all trivial and trivial.
If the slightest selfish desire is not satisfied, they never mind messing up the Tang Dynasty.
Shangguan Wan'er had advised them privately, but found that it was completely chicken and duck, and the two sides were not on the same channel at all.
Shangguan Wan'er was eventually completely dead set on the mother and daughter, and her attitude began to be clearly inclined to the side of the Li clan.
In fact, Wei Hou already had her own power in the dynasty, and she began to covet the throne and wanted to be the second Wu Zetian.
And her daughter Princess Anle, instigated by his henchmen in the dprk, also openly requested Li Xian to make him crown herself as the imperial consort.
Although Li Xian was confused, he was still a descendant of Li in the end, and he categorically refused their unreasonable demands.
After being rejected by Li Xian, the psychology of Wei Hou's mother and daughter also underwent obvious changes.
They regardEd Li Xian as a stumbling block, they suspected him of being in the way, of being a nest, of not being willing to take the initiative to let Xian.
Under the domination of ambition, Wei Hou's mother and daughter began to change, they were like bloodthirsty monsters, ready to devour anyone who dared to hinder them from seizing the highest power.
Even if this person is their closest husband or their most loving father, the result is the same.
According to the "Epitaph and Preface of the Shangguan Clan of the Tang Dynasty", Shangguan Wan'er, after realizing the ambitions of Empress Wei's mother and daughter, took the initiative to find Li Xian four times and advised him to make a decision on the spot and cut off the root cause.
Her attitude became more and more intense, from crying blood to asking herself to be demoted to a concubine, to asking herself to become a nun, and finally to committing suicide by drinking poisonous wine.
She tried to evoke Li Xian's bloodiness in such a drastic way, but in the end she failed.
Li Xian loves his family, his wife and daughter are his anti-scales, even if they are all kinds of unbearable, he does not allow anyone to say a bad word about them in any way.
Even if Shangguan Wan'er had all the helplessness, she could only watch Li Xian, step by step into the trap woven for her by her wife and daughter.
On the second day of The first month of June in the fourth year of Jinglong, Li Xian was poisoned and died of eating a steamed cake offered by Princess Anle herself. Wei Hou, on the other hand, took the opportunity to install cronies everywhere in the DPRK and seized the power of the GOVERNMENT.
After the emperor was violent and the crown prince was not established, Shangguan Wan'er consulted with Princess Taiping and drew up a testament for Li Xian, and presented it to Empress Wei.
They wanted to make Li Chongmao the crown prince and Li Dan the Prince of Xiang as the overseer of the state, so that they could fully balance the forces of all sides of the dprk and ensure the stability of the overall situation.
But Wei Hou did not approve of their ideas!
She secretly colluded with the chancellor Zong Chuke and Wei Wen, and drew up another testament, wanting to establish herself as empress and crown Princess Anle as the imperial consort.
In order to prevent opposition from the Li clan forces, they also secretly agreed to start on the 23rd day of June of the first year of Tang Long. They wanted to mobilize nearly 10,000 Yulin troops to attack and kill Li Dan and Li Longji in one fell swoop, and completely eliminate the troubles.
After Li Longji learned of this news, he launched the Tang Long Rebellion in advance on June 20.
He gathered a large number of ministers loyal to the Li clan, and after the uprising, they were even more crowded.
Li Longji led the forbidden army into the palace, and after Hearing the news, Wei Hou fled into the flying cavalry camp. But by this time the hearts of the people had changed, and no one was willing to be loyal to them. In the end, Wei Hou was beheaded by a flying cavalry battalion soldier and dedicated to Li Longji.
Princess Anle was grooming her eyebrows in the mirror at home, and when she heard the news of the incident, she hurried away. But before he could get far, he was slashed and killed by the pursuing soldiers.
Zong Chuke, Wei Wen and others who supported Wei Hou, as well as the entire Wei clan, also died in the rebellion.
It was late at night, and there were murders everywhere in the palace.
After Shangguan Wan'er heard the news of Li Longji's uprising, she was calm and calm.
Because she felt that she had done no wrong to the Li Clan, she should not have to worry too much.
When Li Longji's soldiers arrived, Shangguan Wan'er lit a candle. In the flickering candlelight, she led the maids to open the palace door.
The roaring torches in the hands of the soldiers outside the door illuminated the steps at the entrance of the palace as bright as day. Shangguan Wan'er looked at Li Longji from a distance and suddenly felt a boundless coolness soak through her body.
The man, with a vicious face, had long since stained the sword in his hand red with blood.
When she saw the murderous spirit in Li Longji's eyes, Shangguan Wan'er knew that she might not have much time left...!
The latter thing, there is no need to say it again.
Li Longji was jealous of Shangguan Wan'er's talent and popularity, and without saying a word, he directly ordered Shangguan Wan'er to be beheaded under the banner.
A generation of talented women, since then the incense has disappeared.
After Shangguan Wan'er's death, her girlfriend Princess Taiping lamented her wrongful sinking to the bottom of the sea, so she gave five hundred silk horses and handled the funeral for her.
At the same time, she also wrote to Tang Ruizong Li Dan to restore Shangguan Wan'er's rank from Jie Yu to Zhaorong.
This incident may also have laid the foundation for princess Taiping's later tragic encounter. This is not to be mentioned later.
To sum up, the historical prototype of Huan Xiang in the play "Wind Rises Luoyang" is Shangguan Wan'er.
She was a talented person of Li Zhi and assisted Wu Zetian for twenty-seven years. After Wu Zetian abdicated, she was again taken into the harem by Li Xian.
Disgusted with the stupidity and selfishness of Empress Wei and Princess Anle, Shangguan Wan'er's attitude clearly turned to the Li clan.
She urged Li Xian four times to stop Wei Hou's chaotic government and eliminate the root cause, but Li Xian, taking into account family affection, never made up his mind.
When Tang Long changed, she took the initiative to open the door to meet Li Longji but was beheaded by his order. This is a complete tragedy in every way!
According to the Old Book of Tang, after Li Longji became emperor, he ordered the scholar Zhang Shu to collect the poems composed by Shangguan Wan'er and compile them into twenty volumes, and asked Zhang Shu to write a preface for him.
It seems that he is probably ashamed!
