The TV series "Great Song Palace Words" is about to usher in the finale, and in the plot of the latest episode, we will find that Cao Jian, the father of Cao Jian, is really a person who strives for his ideals. What was he doing in his deathly manner?
The costume legend drama "Great Song Palace Words" jointly starring actors Liu Tao, Zhou Yumin, Gui Yalei, Zhao Wenxuan, Liang Guanhua, Cao Lei, Qi Xi and Xie Yuan is about to usher in the finale. In the plot of the latest episode, we will find that Cao Jian, as the elder of the Three Dynasties, actually chose Song Renzong and Liu E to pay tribute to the former emperor, and used the method of death advice to force Liu E to return to Song Renzong. Why did he do this?
Is there such a person as Cao Jian in history?
We need to know that the TV series is not the real history, but only the comments of posterity. In the plot of the latest episode of the TV series "Great Song Palace Words", Taifu Caojian adopted the method of death advice in order to let Liu E return to Song Renzong. So does this Cao Jian exist in history? The Cao Jian found on the Internet is not this Cao Jian, but there is a Cao Jian in history, but he is the son of Emperor Wen of Wei in the Three Kingdoms. So, who is Cao Jian in the "Great Song Palace Words"?
In the play, this Cao Jian is Cao Jian's father, and Cao Jian does have his own person in history, but his father's name is Cao Jian, not Cao Jian. But there are not many accounts of Cao Yu's father, Cao Zhi. It is only mentioned because of Cao's use, because Cao's use is precisely because of his father Cao Zhi's sake that he obtained the Ming Classic, and the official to the right to fill the gap. That is to say, Cao Chen's father is also a Jingguan, but his position is not that of a Taifu in the play. In the play, Cao Jian only appears in front of the audience under the guise of Cao using his father's identity, and he represents the power of a certain party.
Which side does Cao Jian in the play represent?
In the Great Song Palace Dictionary, this Cao Jian may represent the old courtiers of the Taizong period. However, this Cao Jian seems to be extremely contradictory in the play. If he represents the old ministers of the Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi period? As a courtier, you should be loyal to the king and patriotic. But in the play, this Cao Jian seems to have his own calculations. Because when Emperor Zhenzong of Song was on his own expedition, he instigated the imperial family to rebel. Although he did not succeed, he always wanted to put his son-in-law on the emperor's throne. This is actually a manifestation of infidelity.
Perhaps, some viewers will think that the reason why he did this was not to let the imperial power fall by the wayside, because Song Zhenzong was too fond of Liu E, and Liu E had made great contributions to the Liao state, and it was only a matter of time before he returned and was welcomed into the palace. But we must know that although Cao Jian's conjecture was later verified, it was only a conjecture and could not be counted as evidence. However, contact with the border army was a fact that he had committed a rebellion.
There are really big problems in the personnel of the TV series "Great Song Palace Words".
There are many problems in the character design of the "Great Song Palace Words", especially this Cao Jian. Although he represents the old courtiers of the Song Taizong period, he is indeed contradictory. Because before that, he was lustful for power, so now in the play to die, what is he trying to do? This is really hard for the audience to figure out. Especially his granddaughter, who was loved by Song Renzong. All he needed was to send his granddaughter to the throne of the Queen. Why should we die?
The reason why Cao Jian's death is incomprehensible may be the lack of a link in the middle. Because Ding Zhi, who had been driven out of the capital before, returned. The reason why Cao Jian did this is likely to have a lot to do with Ding Shu. Although the two do not belong to the same camp, they both have the same enemy, that is, Liu E.
The reason why Cao Jian did this was provoked by Ding Shu or discussed with the other party. Otherwise, how could such a "chaotic thief" who once wanted to rebel have to fight for his life and embarrass Liu E? Therefore, there is a big problem with the character of this TV series.
In the "Words of the Great Song Palace", Zhao Guangyi, the Emperor Taizong of Song, was always dissatisfied with this Liu E, and the reason why he was not satisfied was because Liu E's wealth was not so innocent. In the play, she is an orphan girl, but in real history, she is a singer who has long been married, and it is somewhat ridiculous that such a singer can become the regent empress of the Song Dynasty. This may be the main reason why the old ministers during the Song Taizong period were reluctant to accept Liu E, the regent empress.
But from a historical point of view, Liu E did complete the smooth handover of the Song regime from the zhenzong era to the renzong era. Judging from Liu E's contribution to history, Cao Jian's death is really redundant.
I don't know how everyone thinks about the role of Cao Jian? You are welcome to leave a comment.
