In "Mountains and Rivers and Moonlight", the director is still quite good at using details. A lot of things, you may not have understood too much before, and then you suddenly realized it after seeing it. For example, the dialogue between Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun did not feel anything at the time, but it was later found that there was a lot of information implied.
1. Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun's "Shizi Dispute"
When Xu Miaoyun gave birth to Zhu Gaozi, it was when Zhu Di was the leader of the Jinyi Guard, when he shouldered a heavy responsibility, and Xu Miaoyun worried about him day by day. Later, they took the newborn Zhu Gaozi to Beiping, nominally to visit relatives, but in fact to bring down Hu Weiyong.
Little Zhu Gaozi, coupled with running back and forth with his mother, his body was sick, and he was also sick and could not learn martial arts on horseback. This is probably a fatal blow to a child of a prince. Fortunately, he worked hard, read well, and was very smart.
Unfortunately, he didn't quite like Zhu Di. Especially after the birth of the second son Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di could not look down on his eldest son. Zhu Gaoxu was born when Zhu Di was at his best, plus he was brave and warlike, especially like Zhu Di, so Zhu Di was very fond of him from an early age.
Xu Miaoyun later gave birth to a son, Zhu Gaoxuan. The three sons, the eldest son Zhu Gaozi Shangwen, the second son Zhu Gaoxu Shangwu, the third son is not so special.
One day, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaoxu competed, and Zhu Gaoxu defeated Zhu Gaoxu again, and Zhu Gaoxu ran over and told Zhu Di. Seeing such a situation, Zhu Di thought of passing on the position of the son of the world to Zhu Gaoxu.
Because he felt that Zhu Gaozi could only read and could not lead his troops to fight, there was no way to defend Beiping. This thought was angrily rebuked by Xu Miaoyun. She asked Zhu Di: If you feel that you are stronger than the prince, do you still want to replace it? Zhu Di clearly had a pause here.
It is this pause that implies what happens next.
2. Implying Zhu Di's rebellion
In "Mountains and Rivers MoonLight", the director portrayed Zhu Di differently at the beginning, such as he cared about the war at a young age, and he skipped class to save birds. He was spot-checked by Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was able to memorize his homework very well. And Zhu Yuanzhang also liked his son.
He followed Xu Da to train soldiers, and Xu Da was also training him for his daughter's future. Especially before his death, he deliberately let him go through military merit in order to be able to subdue Xu Da's old department.
The merits of Jinyiwei were recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was a good hand at leading soldiers to fight. When Zhu Di arrived in Beiping, he obviously swelled a lot.
As a prince, he should understand the principle of "orderly growth and childhood", but he wanted to pass on the position of the son of the world to Zhu Gaoxu, which was obviously his own thoughts.
Coupled with the back, he followed Blue Jade to attack Nai'er Buhua, did not obey Blue Jade's restraint and went deep into the desert according to his own ideas, and finally won a great victory. In fact, at this time, he already had the idea of "solipsism".
Although the crown prince has governed the country for many years, he has never brought soldiers. In this regard, he was inferior to Zhu Di. Even Zhu Yuanzhang said that the prince, you don't understand this situation, but Zhu Di can understand it at a glance.
Therefore, this dialogue between Zhu Di and Miaoyun is actually the director who wants to pave the way for Zhu Di's rebellion.
3. Lay the foundation for the two sons
This dialogue is not only a foreshadowing, but also lays the foundation for Zhu Di's three sons.
Zhu Di rebelled, defeated Zhu Yunjiao, and sat on the throne. Zhu Gaozi also naturally became the crown prince. Although Zhu Gaozi's strength value was not good, his ability to strategize was good. At the beginning, Zhu Di raised an army, Zhu Gaozi stayed in Beiping, blocked the attack of Emperor Jianwen's 500,000 troops with an army of 10,000 people, and defended the city of Beiping, which also brought a huge turning point for the Battle of Jingnan.
Despite this, Zhu Di still favored Zhu Gaoxu. Originally, Zhu Di's fiefdom to Zhu Gaoxu was Yunnan, but Zhu Gaoxu refused to go, thinking that the place was remote, and Zhu Di sealed him to Qingzhou, and he was too poor. Anyway, he just didn't go to the fiefdom, licked his face and stayed in Nanjing, and also sent the emperor's pro-army Tiance Wei to be his own guard.
This is really "Sima Zhao's heart is well known to everyone!" "But Zhu Di went with him." It can be seen that he really likes this son too much.
Unexpectedly, after Zhu Di's death, Zhu Gaozi's emperor, who had not been for a long time, also died, and his eldest son Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne. Zhu Gaoxu wanted to emulate Zhu Di, but in the end he did not succeed.
You see, Zhu Di's preference for Zhu Gaoxu has buried a lot of curses for him. And all this comes down to what he said to Xu Miaoyun back then.
As Xu Miaoyun said: Some thoughts should not be moved. As long as it moves, it is a disaster. If you succeed, then you are Zhu Di, and if you fail, it is Zhu Gaoxu.
