"Five Daughters Bye Shou" is a very famous Yue opera repertoire, which was made into a movie by Changchun Film Studio in the 1980s, and won the popularity of Mao Weitao, He Saifei, He Ying, Fang Xuewen, and Dong Kedi, the "five golden flowers" of the Yue opera industry.
"Five Daughters Worship Shou" tells such a tortuous story full of sorrow and joy, and the cold and warm of human feelings.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Jikang, a servant of the household department, was dissatisfied with Yan Song's dictatorship and wanted to return to his hometown. On the occasion of his sixtieth birthday, the daughters and sons-in-law entered the capital to pay homage to him and to welcome the second elder to spend his old age. The poor third daughter Yang Sanchun and the third son-in-law Zou Yinglong, who had great ambitions, came to pay respects to Shou and were treated coldly because of their thin etiquette. The second sister Shuangtao bullied and instigated Lady Yang to drive sanchun and his wife out of Yang Mansion.
Yang Jikang's brother Yang Jisheng did not succeed in committing adultery, but was beheaded by Emperor Jiajing. Yang Jikang, who was affected by Zhu Lian, was expelled from the capital by cutting off his post and raiding his family, and in an instant, the family was broken up, and only the maid Cuiyun Andi accompanied the second old man to join him.
Unexpectedly, the second daughter and the two peaches saw that their parents were downcast and refused to be raised; Chen Songnian, who was also a member of the same window and a relative, was afraid of Yan Song's obscenity and did not dare to accept it; the eldest son-in-law, for Tufei Huang Tengda, even recognized Yan Song as his father.
Yang Jikang and his wife and Cuiyun live on the street, when they are on the verge of desperation. Coincidentally, the third daughter Yang Sanchun, Sanchun took the second elder home and served him carefully.
Three years later, the third son-in-law, Zou Yinglong, went to the test and became an official in the DPRK, and shi jidou overthrew Yan Song, and the Yang family was unjustly convicted. At this time, it coincided with The sixtieth birthday of Lady Yang, and the daughters and sons-in-law came to pay their respects. Yang Jikang and his wife expelled the eldest son-in-law who was widowed and shameful, and the second daughter and the second elder who were only interested in profit saw that the second elder had adopted Cuiyun, who was suffering from hardship, as a righteous daughter, and had no land for herself, and left in shame. Chen Songnian, a relative of the family, also came to apologize.
After the Yang family underwent a change of rise and fall, glory and humiliation, the Shou Hall once again presented a moving scene of enjoying heavenly glory.
The story of "Five Daughters Worshiping Shou" is naturally fictional, but Yang Jisheng and Zou Yinglong do have their own people in history, and what is even more surprising is that the protagonist Yang Jikang's experience actually has the shadow of the experience of the enemy Yan Song.
The story has to be told from Yan Song, a traitorous minister.
As the saying goes, "a text is like its person" and "a word is like its person," but Yan Song is a counterexample -- the words in his pen are very beautiful and quite elegant, but when he is a person, he is very inferior and ugly, and he is proficient in everything.
He is also good at writing beautiful green words that ask the immortals, but he can't let go of the shackles of power and wealth in the world, fighting for power and profit, embezzlement and bribery. Nothing is not touched. As a result, during the years when the Jiajing Emperor favored him and let him govern, the whole court was made into a miasma and chaos by him.
At a moment when the Ming Dynasty was already in crisis, Yang Jisheng stood up from the crowd of people in the upper dynasty, and he wanted to impeach Yan Song, a power traitor under one person and above ten thousand people.
That year was the thirty-second year of Jiajing, that is, in 1553, Yang Jisheng was thirty-seven years old at the time and served in the military department. Seeing that state affairs were getting worse and the border troubles were rampant, Yang Jisheng was determined to risk his life to write a letter to serve the country, and with full of enthusiasm and loyalty, he wrote "Please Curse thieves and ministers", and wrote to the Jiajing Emperor to impeach Yan Song, counting Yan Song's "five adulterous and ten major crimes."
Unexpectedly, Yan Song, who was an old traitor and a giant, framed Yang Jisheng for plotting against King Yu and King Jing according to a sentence in the song chapter, and was furious at The Jiajing Emperor, who obeyed Yan Song's words, and ordered Yang Jisheng to be imprisoned.
After being imprisoned, Yang Jisheng was given a hundred staffs by the prison guards under the command of Yan Song, and his flesh and blood were blurred and scarred. Someone gave him a pupae bile, saying that it could detoxify blood. Yang Jisheng categorically refused: "Jiaoshan (Yang Jisheng character Jiaoshan) has its own guts, why pupate snakes!" ”
Although the fainting Jiajing Emperor sent Yang Jisheng to prison in a fit of rage, he did not want his life, and as a result, Yang Jisheng stayed in prison for three years. For three years, he was subjected to inhuman torture.
In order to prevent the wound from becoming infected, Yang Jisheng, in full consciousness, cut off pieces of rotten flesh with broken tiles, broke two tendons, and wrote a tragic song of loyal and righteous soldiers with an incomparably strong will that exceeded the limits of human beings.
Seeing that emperor Jiajing had no intention of executing Yang Jisheng, Yan Song, who was fierce and scheming, once again extended his evil black hand to Yang Jisheng in the darkness.
In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing (1555 AD), when the Punishment Department conducted the autumn trial, Yan Song instructed the Punishment Department Shangshu He Ao to list Yang Jisheng's name at the end when he played the list of officials sentenced to death to the emperor. As a result, Yang Jisheng, who was full of righteousness and grievances, was taken to the execution site in early October.
When Yang Jisheng was about to be executed, his righteousness was awe-inspiring, without any fear, and he generously wrote a poem: "Haoqi is still too vain, dan's heart is illuminated through the ages; before he died, he left it to posterity to make up!" His wife, Zhang Shi, also hanged herself for her husband's martyrdom after her husband's death.
The vicious Yan Song did not even spare Yang Jisheng's corpse, venting his hatred and fear with the punishment of "abandoning the body in the city".
But the eyes of the common people were shining, and they loved and sympathized with Yang Jisheng, sent him off when Yang Jisheng was killed, wept for him, and then changed his former residence into a temple, honored him as a city god, and worshipped his wife with him, and offered it at four o'clock to show his remembrance.
Thanks to the favor and connivance of the Jiajing Emperor, Yan Song's power surpassed that of any of his previous courtiers, reaching an unprecedented level. There were hardly any officials in the imperial court, inside and outside the capital, who did not submit to his obscenity, so Yan Song became more and more tyrannical and arrogant.
The sad thing is that the dazed Yan Song gradually became arrogant to the Jiajing Emperor, a little out of sight of the emperor, and even asked the emperor to promote the emperor to dislike people.
The Jiajing Emperor was really angry, and the consequences were indeed very serious.
A Daoist priest, a loyalist, and the Jiajing Emperor together decided Yan Song's final fate.
One day, the Jiajing Emperor, who believed in Taoism, summoned the Taoist priest Lan Daoxing into the palace to predict misfortune and blessings, and Lan Daoxing surrendered to the gods. Yan Song then gave the emperor a secret code, so the Jiajing Emperor, who had always worshipped the gods and had unlimited trust in Daoists, began to doubt whether Yan Song was a loyal vassal or a traitor.
It is really ridiculous to think about the Jiajing Emperor, the people of the world knew that Yan Song was a good minister twenty years ago, but he did not have the spirit of questioning this issue until this day, which shows that Yan Song has many "skills" and how confused Jiajing is.
The eunuchs around the emperor immediately spread the joke that Yan Song had picked the wrong time on Mimuza, and Yushi Zou Yinglong, who was sheltering from the rain at the Ichinei attendant at the time, bravely made a decision after hearing the news.
In the fourth year of Jiajing (1562 AD), Zou Yinglong wrote a letter to impeach Yan Song, Yan Shifan's father and son, and his henchmen, listing their bad deeds and accumulated crimes, and playing a request to "behead the world and hang it in the city, thinking that the people are fierce and disloyal." After reading the recital, the Jiajing Emperor issued a decree that "Le Song Zhi Shi, The Next Emperor and other edicts were imprisoned", and soon yan ShiFan was beheaded and displayed to the public, and Yan Song was dismissed from his post as a citizen and his family property was confiscated.
Zou Yinglong, who was full of courage, seized the opportunity to overthrow Yan Song and Yan Shifan, who were in power and the opposition, and who were corrupt and perverted the law, and did not only do great harm to the country and the people.
Yan Song, who was flying yellow and invincible, ended up in a miserable situation, and finally he only ended up in the cemetery relying on sacrifices to feed his stomach, freezing and starving to death.
After Yan Song was dismissed, he once went to his children's home, Qufu Kongfu, for help, but he did not expect to touch it - nose ash.
Yan Song was a traitor who liked to be vassal and elegant, and he wanted to impersonate Sven and deceive the world through his contacts with the "holy family" of The Confucius, while the Confucius wanted to use his power to enhance his political strength and further gain the trust of the emperor, so the two sides established a close relationship of frequent exchanges and mutual exchanges. Therefore, Yan Song's granddaughter married into the Palace and became the wife of Kong Shangxian, the sixty-fourth generation of Yan Shenggong.
After Yan Song was dismissed from his post, he immediately rushed to the Confucius Mansion in Qufu, hoping that his granddaughter-in-law Kong Shangxian, the Duke of Yansheng, would come forward and intercede with the emperor on behalf of their father and son in order to absolve or mitigate their sins.
But at this time, at another time, when Yan Song, who had already fallen into disgrace, came to The Confucius Palace, Yan Sheng Gong did not want to meet him at all, let alone intercede in front of the emperor on his behalf, because Yan Sheng Gong would not damage the relationship between kong fu and the emperor in order to protect such a grandfather-in-law referred to by all the people.
As a result, the bereaved dog-like Yan Song Yan Ge sat on the cold bench for several hours in the passage between the lobby and the second hall, but found nothing, and finally had to leave in despair and despair.
Yan Song's experience in Kongfu is quite similar to what happened to Yang Jikang, the protagonist of "Five Daughters Worship shou", when he took refuge in Hangzhou, but the two were raped and loyal, and the treatment received by readers and viewers was very different, which was resentful and sympathetic.
And Yan Song and Yang Jisheng and Zou Yinglong's figures left in history are even more different - the former has been left behind for thousands of years, and the latter has been passed down for hundreds of years.
