The plot of the hit drama "Daming Fenghua" has come to the copy of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qi Town, and in the history books, almost connected with Zhu Qi Town is the great eunuch Wang Zhen, so when the plot reaches this copy, Wang Zhen should also appear, but in the "Daming Fenghua" drama, Wang Zhen is rewritten to be the same age as Ming Yingzong and grew up with Fa Xiao, which is a bit ridiculous.
Although the history books do not record Wang Zhen's birth date, but from his experience of having passed through Xiucai and teaching, and Wang Zhen has no confidence in the imperial examination, he feels that there is no future before entering the palace as a eunuch, so when he enters the palace, he should be more than thirty years old, and it is estimated that he may not lose confidence in the future when he is younger.
Moreover, when Wang Zhen entered the palace in the last year of Ming Chengzu Yongle, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qi Town's children's shoes were not yet born, Zhu Qi Town suffered so many disasters after the "Change of Tumu Fort" and still remembered Wang Zhen, it is definitely not something that young playmates can do, this is not only the feeling of accompanying Zhu Qi Town to grow up, but also the kindness of words and deeds, Wang Zhen should be Zhu Qi Town's nanny and teacher.
During Emperor Ming Yingzong's first reign (after the death of Empress Dowager Zhang), Wang Zhen was able to take all the government into his hands and comprehensively suppress the civilian official clique and the Xungui clique, and this ability was not something that a young man of the same age as Zhu Qizhen could do, and it was impossible without certain experience and qualifications, so it was inappropriate for the screenwriters of "Daming Fenghua" to change Wang Zhen's age to a younger age.
This is not only Wang Zhen, the Ming Emperor will have eunuchs as a nanny when he is young, accompany him through the childhood years, of course, young eunuchs have, but the eunuch in charge must be older, the previous emperor will also deliberately assign older eunuchs to help supervise and teach the prince, in addition to the adults to do things carefully and properly, the older the more knowledgeable, but also help to help the prince grow.
Take several famous eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty as an example, Liu Jin, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty during Zhu Houzhao's reign, known as the "Emperor Li", was also a eunuch who grew up with Emperor Ming wuzong when he was a child, but Liu Jin was a full forty years older than Zhu Houzhao, and the other seven of the eunuchs who grew up with Liu Jin to take care of Zhu Houzhao were also about the same age as Liu Jin.
Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of emperor Zhu You's school of MingXi, was also thirty-seven years older than Zhu Youxiao, and the eunuch Cao Huachun, who took care of Emperor Mingsizong's zhu youguan, was also almost forty years older than Zhu Youjian. In addition to the reason why the eunuchs who grew up with the heirs to the throne chose to be older, in addition to the above-mentioned ability to take care of them more carefully and help them grow, it is also one of the main reasons to help them manage the government in the future.
When Emperor Xuanzong of Ming xuanzong Zhu Zhanji came to power, he began to give eunuchs the right to approve and handle some government affairs, and most of the later emperors continued this way, and in general, eunuchs who could hold the position of "approval of red power" must be trusted confidants of the emperor, so it was necessary to cultivate feelings from an early age, and eunuchs could not be too young, otherwise when he had "approval of red power", he had no experience in handling government affairs, and dealing with complex political situations, and could not really help the emperor.
Therefore, eunuchs like Wang Zhen, who need to help the future emperor manage the government, all must have a certain degree of knowledge (probably only Wei Zhongxian in the carpenter emperor period was an accident), a certain experience, a certain seniority of middle-aged and elderly eunuchs, and an important understanding of politics. If the emperor was a young man who succeeded to the throne, they could immediately help, and it was impossible for a eunuch of the same age as the young emperor to grow up slowly, and he had to be able to subdue the rest of the ambitious eunuchs in the palace.
Great eunuchs such as Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian wanted to help the emperor come to power, and they had to fight against the official clique. "Daming Fenghua" adaptation of Wang Zhen does not meet the historical facts and the real needs of the Ming Emperor, of course, the TV series is based on the novel, in order to have a certain modification of the plot, it is not easy to be harsh, but it is best to mark an explanation, otherwise it is easy to misunderstand, just like after watching "Yongzheng Dynasty", many people think that Li Wei is really a flower boy, and the influential historical drama is still not to mislead the audience.
