The recent TV series adapted from the novel of the same name by the Princes of beacon theatre, "The Knife In the Snow", is currently airing.
In the play, Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Liang, began his last trip to the capital in his life, and the first deceased person he met in Beijing was Zhang Julu, the first assistant of Liyang. And in the original work, he encountered a black-robed monk, the sick tiger Yang Tai, which is aside from the afterword. But the appearance of Zhang Julu made me recall this departed Yang Courtier.
Still
After the fall of Western Chu, Sun Xiji, the old lady of Western Chu, never understood that the Great Chu of that year was a prosperous situation that had not been seen in the eight hundred years after the great Qin, but it was such a Liyang Dynasty that began at the end of the world and did not know what the ceremony was, and the country died at the fastest speed. So he wore the hat of a two-sex domestic slave and watched by the temple in Liyang for more than ten years, trying to understand where he lost that year, and finally he saw two people, one was Xu Xiao, the sword bearer of the fall of the Chu State, and the other was Zhang Julu, who risked being with the cat and calling himself the "Emperor of The Station", which made him admire the airtightness of the Zhao Dynasty.
Zhang Julu's death is a hurdle that many people can't get over, and when the loyal monarch and lord reach that point, they can't retire, and even their own children and grandchildren have to be a piece of dry bones under the king's power, and we are not even. But from the original work, we can find the real cause of Zhang Julu's death.
First, in the first year that Emperor Zhao of The Yang Dynasty changed the Yuan Xiang Charm, his body bones were already dead. He was very afraid, he was afraid that after he left, after Emperor Yuan Benxi left, no one above the court could suppress Zhang Gu and the two people, and he was even more afraid that more and more zhang giant deer-like figures would appear above the court, neither as a servant in the hands of the king, nor as a foolish and loyal minister who threatened to die, and at the same time, the struggle between the people's hearts and minds of the world's lords and the cold gate would become more and more intense. Therefore, Zhao Huan himself said that when the remnants of Western Chu died, they would also take down Zhang Julu, who was in the capital.
Second, that is, what Zhang Julu said to the third son Zhang Bianguan, since he Zhang Julu opened the dragon gate for the cold door of the world, and gave the han men the opportunity to go to the Tian Shelang and the Tianzi Hall, then it was also up to him to fix his mind and keep his heart for the han men. Therefore, this yellow door lang who has been a yellow door lang for twenty years, as soon as he comes out of the mountain, will be the first assistant, and use the life of his whole family to warn the people who come after him, I will end up like this, and you should be careful and loyal to the country in the future.
People slaughter Xu Xiao
However, Zhang Julu never left a way out for himself, he alienated his own students and destroyed the wall of Zhang Luyuan. For example, Zhao Youling, who was the most knowledgeable and yonghui, Yin Maochun, who was known as a chuxiang, Han Xuanlin, who was old and heavy-handed, and Yuan Yu, who was not famous in the early period and was an official to the official Shangshu in the later period, he only left a Qualified Wang Xionggui around. In the court where he was located, there was no so-called political enemy in his eyes, and he could suppress a hundred officials with his words, but because of this, he also knew that he could only end up desolate in the end. Therefore, when the Western Chu warriors lost, the first assistant lord finally lost the temple.
It can be seen that there are some differences between the adaptation of the TV series and the original work, Zhang Julu supports Beiliang in his heart, he understands the importance of Beiliang, and understands Xu Xiao's personality, so Beiliang cannot let Gu Jiantang take over. But both of them highlight a characteristic of Zhang Shoufu: bowing down to the best of his ability, dying and then, for the heart of the king, the people's hearts do not hesitate to sacrifice themselves, and it is precisely because of this that people of Xu Xiao's time respect this shoufu in their hearts, and it is also worth our memories.
