Watching "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the most relieving passage is that Zhen Huan returned to the palace with glory as Concubine Xi. Zhen Huan stayed in Ganlu Temple for three years, and she found that although Ganlu Temple is a national temple, its internal management is too chaotic: the boss Jing'an pretends to be confused; the temple supervisor Jingbai excludes dissidents for the queen, and there are a bunch of small followers under him; only Mo Yan, a "marginal person", is upright, just like the stone lion at the gate of Jiafu.
Therefore, before returning to the palace, Zhen Huan specially rectified Ganlu Temple, especially adjusted the management personnel: appeased Jing'an Shitai, promoted Mo Yan, and demoted Jingbai.
Many viewers don't understand Zhen Huan's operation, Jingbai hurt Zhen Huan so badly, Zhen Huan is already an invincible Xi Guifei, why don't you kill her to vent her hatred?
If Jingbai is killed at this time, Jingbai will not jump out to make false testimony when the blood is tested, and Zhen Huan's risk will be half smaller. Or Zhen Huan was too merciful and didn't be "ruthless and unintentional".
I used to think this way, but recently I think about it, it's not that simple.
I don't know if everyone has noticed, before Zhen Huan returned to the palace, Mrs. Jing'an, an old fritter in the workplace, also reminded Zhen Huan that Jingbai could not be killed.
In fact, Jing'an was telling Zhen Huan that Jingbai was involved in too many entanglements of interests, and killing her would not benefit Zhen Huan. Not killing Jingbai was Zhen Huan's most clever move in that environment at that time. First of all, it was very difficult for Zhen Huan to return to the palace. In order to let her return to the palace, the emperor put on a lot of vests for her: What is the fourth elder brother's biological mother praying for the blessing of the country, and the family is Niu Hulu's family. To put it bluntly, I want to whitewash Zhen Huan's inglorious "waste concubine" black history. While this pile of vests brought an aura to Zhen Huan, it also brought a lot of people's jealousy. Among them, the queen's party led by Yi Xiu continued to move in the harem of the former dynasty and poured dirty water on Zhen Huan, the purpose of which was to make her have a hard time after returning to the palace. In order to prevent Zhen Huan from returning to the palace, the queen party can even make superstitious means such as "dangerous moon swallow rushing to the moon", so Zhen Huan has to take precautions. If she kills Jingbai at this juncture because of personal grudges, she will only tell the truth, and the queen will definitely use this matter to make a big fuss, saying that Zhen Huan is arrogant and careless of human life.
In this way, no matter how much the emperor loves Zhen Huan, he has to consider the remarks outside, and Zhen Huan's gentle and reasonable character in the emperor's heart has collapsed. is as witty as Zhen Huan, it is impossible to do such a thing that harms oneself and others. Besides, Jingbai is just the queen's thug, a small person like her, if Zhen Huan personally deals with her, it will be like killing chickens with a knife, and it looks very unstructured. Therefore, Zhen Huan learned Xi queen, promoted his own person Mo Yan as a thug, and asked Mo Yan to cultivate his own team in Ganlu Temple to help Zhen Huan learn from Jingbai. Secondly, Zhen Huan didn't kill Jingbai, she was actually protecting Mo Yan. Mo Yan is a marginal figure in Ganlu Temple, and the reason why she has been able to live well in the land of right and wrong in Ganlu Temple for so many years is not because she is upright, but because she does not stand in line and cannot get in the way of Jingbai.
In the eyes of Jingbai's faction, Mo Yan is a "wild woman", worthless, and can't get rid of it.
However, after Zhen Huan came to Ganlu Temple, everything changed. Mo Yan secretly provided Zhen Huan with countless helps, and even openly opposed Jingbai for her.
This also means that Mo Yan began to stand in line, standing on the opposite side of Jingbai, and her situation became dangerous.
Zhen Huan promoted Mo Yan, Mo Yan took over Jingbai's position, and Jingbai's gang would definitely work against Mo Yan.
But Mo Yan has the support of Concubine Xi, no matter how unhappy Jingbai is, he will not take Mo Yan's life, and Mo Yan's work can still be carried out smoothly.
However, if Zhen Huan kills Jingbai, Jingbai's forces in Ganlu Temple will hate Mo Yan because of this, and the queen's party will also intervene in this matter.
Mo Yan is not only difficult to advance his work, but he will also be recognized as an accomplice to kill Jingbai, and his life will not be guaranteed.
Therefore, Zhen Huan's refusal to kill Jingbai also took into account the survival of his benefactor Mo Yan in Ganlu Temple.
It is impossible for everyone to predict the prophet, and Zhen Huan will not know that after returning to the palace, she will encounter such a dangerous situation as a blood test, let alone predict that Jingbai will commit perjury in it. What Zhen Huan can do is to make the most beneficial choice for herself and her team in the current time and space. Zhen Huan didn't kill Jingbai because she understood such a sentence: The superior will kill the lower one, and they will be counterattacked. The Queen Mother has a saying that is very right: to be a person and do things, you must leave room for it. This margin is not only reserved for others, but also for oneself.
