In the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the civet has always played the image of a rich and noble king who is indisputable in the world, even so, in the end, it still ended up with a tragic death, and many viewers will feel that he is very wronged, but I want to say that he died unjustly at all. The civet is not a simple character, his indisputability is all an illusion, and careful analysis will show that he has long been thinking of usurping the throne.
1. Be cautious and hide everywhere
In the early stage, the King of Guojun has always been cautious, playing the image of an idle cloud wild crane who never asks about political affairs. This is not difficult to understand, to know how cruel the Nine Sons were back then, how tragic the fate of the loser was, plus Yongzheng is also a suspicious person by nature, to survive under his nose, it takes much more effort than ordinary people. In many places in the play, it reflects its super high desire for survival.
For example, the civet never dares to win Yongzheng when playing chess, and he has to lose every time, but if he loses, he must lose, for example, he has to lose, such as having a distraction, such as letting Yongzheng win narrowly, and every time without missing a trace, so that Yongzheng can't see the degree of intentionality. The civet is also very good at pretending to be stupid, for example, he can see at a glance that Yu Yinger is not the woman that Yong is meeting at Chinese New Year's Eve night, but he also sees through it and does not say it, and even when Su Peisheng asks, he does not say, in fact, he just doesn't want Yongzheng to think that he is too smart and knows how to hide. There is also the fact that the civet is very good at being a good person and must not offend anyone around Yongzheng. I still remember that when the civet went out and met Nian Xinyao who was waiting, in the face of his arrogance and rudeness, the civet also said that it didn't matter, there was no Wang Ye's shelf.
2. Fall in love with the imperial sister-in-law and expose your ambitions
The strength of the civet should not be underestimated, Yongzheng once mentioned that his horseback riding and archery were taught by the emperor himself, his reading was also first-class, and he was even more proficient in Qinqi calligraphy and painting, which once made Yongzheng very jealous. Coupled with the fact that the civet's biological mother is also the favorite concubine of the emperor, this is bound to make herself a thorn in the side, so in the early stage, the civet has been hiding its edge, converging ambition, and waiting for the opportunity.
However, the encounter with Zhen Huan in the Old Summer Palace broke this balance, Zhen Huan smiled like a flower, bright and lively, which suddenly made the civet's heart move, but unexpectedly heard that it was Yongzheng's woman, which made the civet completely crazy. You say that the throne is his, even the woman who is hard to fall in love with is also his Yongzheng, the civet is not willing to give up, no matter who she Zhen Huan is, even if it is the imperial sister-in-law, it has to fight. So the civet began the road of flirting with a dead face, and if he couldn't provoke it in the palace, he continued to provoke outside the palace, anyway, he was bound to chase the imperial sister-in-law into his hand, and finally got Zhen Huan with his unremitting efforts. But the good times did not last long, and finally Zhen Huan returned to Yongzheng's side under the mistake of yin and yang, and this time the civet was no longer calm, no longer as cautious as before, and the hidden ambition was gradually exposed.
3. Fight hard and end in a fiasco
As Zhen Huan's adulterous horse's feet became more and more exposed, Yongzheng finally discovered the private relationship between the two of them, so he arranged for Zhen Huan to pretend to make out, and the civet could no longer sit still. The civet has been dormant for many years, and has been recuperating its strength, and there are actually many soldiers and horses in the house, which shows its great ambition. The civet never wanted to fight for the throne, but did not find the right time, this is good, his own women are going to be sent and kissed, they can't manage so much, decided to fight to the death, if they win, the imperial throne also has the imperial sister-in-law, wouldn't it be beautiful. It's a pity that the civet is too young after all, how can he be Yongzheng's opponent with this means, Yongzheng just casually used some means, and he brought out the old bottom of the civet. In the end, the civet was sent to the frontier for several years, and after returning from the border, he was given poisoned wine, which ended in a crushing defeat. In fact, in the original work, Zhen Huan was really sent and kissed, and the civet went to save Zhen Huan and gave birth to another child with him, but this plot was cut in the play.
The ending of the civet in the early stage of playing chess with Yongzheng actually has a metaphor, once the civet lost chess and said the following: "The junior brother fought hard for a long time, and finally ended up losing all the games, and he knew it early and did not survive for a long time." ”
