When I first saw "Yulou Spring", many netizens said that this is a low-grade version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Golden Powder Family".
The painting style of the whole play is very positive, the plot, and it is also very routine.
Two days after the start of the broadcast, the word of mouth was seriously polarized, the fast pace of the first half, the light comedy style, and the plot bugs that did not conform to logic were too many, but many netizens were willing to laugh for the plot and give a thumbs up for the service.
With the development of the plot, gradually, the smell of house fighting, the game between the imperial court, seems to have come out.
At this time, the Sun family, the fiery cooking oil, is indeed like "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Golden Powder Family", all of which are like a flash in the pan, with the rise and fall of Sun Guifei.
But in fact, the collapse of the Sun family for a while, from the root cause, was never because of Sun Guifei, but because of Sun Xun, the head of the Sun family.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" >01, Sun Xun may be a military general and hold military power</h1>
When "Yulou Spring" was broadcast, in the form of flashbacks, through the mouth of Sun Yulou, the story of the Sun family from a moment of xuhe to a rapid withering and falling was told.
When Yu Louchun introduced the second brother and sister-in-law, he actually revealed 2 extremely critical information of Sun Xun
"The second grandmother, Su Yingxue, was the first talented daughter in the capital, and soon after marrying the second brother Sun Junhao, her father handed over the military power in his hands to the second brother, and the second brother rarely returned home, the husband and wife gathered less and left more, and the second grandmother caressed the piano every day, and everyone in the Sun mansion could hear it."
What information did these few words reveal about Sun Xun?
First, he was a military general.
Since he was a military general, he certainly did not have much time at home in the early years, and everything in the family, including the upbringing of all the children, was all decided by the old lady of the Sun family, shen.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the children of the Sun family are uneven in terms of upbringing, interests, and knowledge.
In addition, Lin Shaochun mentioned when he was in contact with Sun Yulou: When the Sun family talks about the roots, it is only by women to make a fortune.
The "woman" she said in her mouth referred to Sun Guifei.
According to the current plot, on the surface, the Sun family has the current XuanHe for a while because of Sun Guifei, but in fact, without the Sun family, how can Sun Guifei step up to the position of Guifei?
The emperor's favor is true, but according to the current plot development, Sun Guifei has no heirs, how did she come up and be crowned as a noble concubine? By the favor of an emperor alone?
No, it depends on the background of the Sun family.
The reason why I am so sure is naturally because of the second information point about Sun Xun revealed in Sun Yulou's introduction.
Second, Sun Xun's power in the imperial court made the emperor have to endure.
Sun Yulou said that after the second brother got married, his father handed over the military power to him. This is very critical, he is a military general, it is not surprising that he has military power, but he does not have the right to dispose of military power.
In other words, military power is not hereditary, and he has no right to give military power to others.
So why was he able to give the military power to his second son?
Either, the emperor took the initiative to give instructions, or the emperor was forced to give instructions, and Xiao Xi believed that the latter was more likely.
I don't know if everyone noticed, Lu Ming proposed to turn over the case to Lin Yuandao when the emperor promised a request, at that time, the emperor's expression was full of impatience and carelessness, while Sun Xun occasionally skimmed towards the emperor, with a subtle expression.
This shows that in Lin Yuandao's case, the people behind the scenes are most likely the emperor and Sun Xun, even if they are not the masterminds, they are also accomplices.
Lin Yuandao was a courtier during the former emperor's period, and imagami was still a prince at that time, Sun Xun was still a military general, and Lin Yuandao's crime was "withholding 50,000 stones of grain and paying, and embezzling 10,000 taels of silver."
Food and pay, that is, food and money given to soldiers in the army. According to Lu Ming's investigation, Lin Yuandao's home was raided that year, and he did not find his "greedy ink" grain and silver.
There was no physical evidence, no one to testify, so convicted, Lin Yuandao was indeed wronged, but why did the former emperor close the case so easily?
Because of this matter, the possibility of involving the dispute between the crown prince is too great, and the possibility of the prince colluding with the military generals, or even the former emperor, is not nothing, but if it is, then what is the role of Sun Xun in it?
He is the current emperor's adviser, he has the control of imagami in his hands, and he is more powerful to contain imagami, and it is even possible that when imagami first came to power, he still controlled the government, so that imagami had to pay attention to it in front of him.
Therefore, with the transfer of military power, sun xun even if he did not have the right to dispose of it directly, he had enough power to make the emperor agree to this matter.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" >02, Sun Xun is not in good shape, and uses the examination to recruit protégés</h1>
As mentioned earlier, this drama actually has a lot of bugs, and there are also many bugs about Sun Xun.
According to Sun Yulou's recollections, Sun Xun tended to be a military general, but this inference seemed to have been overturned when the court was deliberating on the chief examiner of the imperial examination.
Before the Shang Dynasty, hundreds of officials complimented Sun Xun in the court, and in and out of the words, they all said that Sun Xun was learning to be rich in five cars, and the chief examiner of this year's imperial examination was none other than him.
Sun Xun was somewhat proud, although he held a posture, but the ambition between his eyebrows was full of pride, and he could not hide it.
But in the blink of an eye, after the emperor ascended to the court, he first sang praises and praises for virtue himself, sighed the importance of the imperial examination, and implied that the previous imperial examination had favoritism and fraudsters.
"It is a matter of social order, and it must be fair and strict, and if there is favoritism and fraud like in the past, the nine ethnic groups..."
The prelude was laid, and then he announced his choice that had been "entangled" for a long time: this year's examination examiner was responsible for the honest and honest Lord Wu.
After announcing his will, the emperor put on a high hat for Sun Xun, which means: Your family has two sons who are taking the exam, so you don't mix with this exam, otherwise your reputation will not be preserved.
How nice, how grandiose, who can refute it?
But if Sun Xun is really fair and honest, how can he be favoritism and fraud? Does the emperor's hint also show that even if Sun Xun did not directly intervene in the past, he also indirectly recruited many protégés to do things for him?
The emperor first mentioned this point, and then put a top hat on Sun Xun, in the final analysis, it was paving the way for Lord Wu, trying to divide Sun Xun's prestige among the literati and his rights in the court regarding this piece.
From here, it can be seen that the emperor is dissatisfied with Sun Xun, or rather, jealous, so he needs to start cultivating his own power and strengthening his imperial power.
Without the position of chief examiner, Sun Xun's chances of recruiting disciples from all over the world were smaller, and it also avoided Sun Xun from continuing to install his own personnel as officials, which was the first step for the emperor to weaken the Sun family.
At this time, Sun Xun may have been aware of it, or he may not have, but it was obvious that the emperor had moved his mind.
After the release of the list, the eldest of the Sun family was a champion, arranged in the Hanlin Courtyard, the fourth was a jinshi, arranged in the Dali Temple, and the Sun family was in the official field, and there were two more ways.
At this time, Sun Xun should have raised obscurity, but he didn't even realize the problem. Jia Fengyuan came to the door, and he immediately agreed to accept this protégé.
Not to mention how much he knew about Jia Fengyuan, but he had hastily recruited the list of keju under his own door and lived in his own home.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="52" >03, the Sun family network is too strong is not a good thing</h1>
According to the network of relationships that have been exposed so far, the Sun family is already too powerful.
The main branch of the Sun family, that is, the branch of Sun Xun, has 4 sons and 4 daughters, the eldest son is Zhuangyuan, who serves in the Hanlin Temple, the second son is a military general, who has military power to lead soldiers to fight outside, the third son has no official position for the time being, and the fourth son is a jinshi, serving in Dali Temple.
Sun Xun himself is the first assistant, 4 daughters, Sun Youzhen is a noble concubine, the remaining 3 are temporarily unknown.
Sun Xun's wife, Shen Shi, was also obviously from a high-gate household, otherwise she would not have looked higher than the top.
In addition, talk about several daughters-in-law of the Sun family, the eldest daughter-in-law Wu Yuehong is the daughter of the hussar general Wu Da, in the early years of the finger belly for marriage, the second daughter-in-law is the first talented daughter in the capital, although did not introduce the mother's family, but the door is too low to enter the eyes of the Shen family, the third daughter-in-law is the daughter of xu Yunhe, a cabinet university scholar, from childhood was raised as a boy, pampered to the extreme, the fourth daughter-in-law was favored by the emperor Lin Shaochun, and her father was also posthumously, and the official Jinjue, although deceased, but the connections and prestige are there, otherwise there would not be so many years passing, Lu Ming, a cadre, was willing to overturn the case for him.
In addition, there is Yao Dizhu, the daughter of a university scholar, who is the official match of the second eldest of the Sun family, and Sun Yulou's ganniang family is also quite famous, not to mention Sun Xun and a number of protégés, including Jia Fengyuan, who has just stayed in the Sun family in the name of worshiping the master.
Just from these networks of relationships that have surfaced, Sun Xun's hand has already reached out to the entire imperial court's civilian and military generals, and who is not afraid of this kind of human resource?
Even the emperor, I am afraid that it is like a fish in the throat, and it is difficult to sleep peacefully at night, right?
It is reasonable to say that Sun Xun has been in a high position for so many years, he should have known the way of being an official, and he should have understood that he should be low-key, Taoguang and obscure, guard his own court, and avoid being targeted by the emperor.
But he didn't.
Not only did it not, but it also indulged in the blind tossing and turning of children again and again.
In fact, throughout the whole drama, the entire Sun family's means of behavior and handling things are actually not very bright.
For example, Xu Fengqiao set up several bureaus for the sake of stewardship, first ruining the reputation of the Li family, which was equivalent to ruining her life, and then letting people ruin Lin Shaochun's reputation, giving Lin Shaochun a lot of shady tricks.
Another example is Sun Yulou, when Yu Niangzi and Lin Shaochun had a dispute, Sun Yulou persuaded Yu Niangzi behind her back, while letting people go out to spread rumors that Yu Niangzi's skills were inferior to people, and what was destroyed was also the prestige that Yu Niangzi had accumulated so hard.
When their own interests and the interests of others conflict, the Sun family's priority is to use means and power to suppress people, such a style, Sun Xun will not know?
He knew, but he chose to keep one eye open and one eye closed.
The of a thousand miles was destroyed in the ant nest, and in those years, there were too many people who inadvertently offended the Sun family, and there were too many people who deliberately wanted to destroy the Sun family's revenge, among which Jia Fengyuan was a typical representative.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="70" ends ></h1>
Sun Xun is the Sun family's fixed sea god needle, the Sun family tree is a big move, countless people are staring at them, carefully behaving, should be the Sun family's way of dealing with the world, many things, obviously can be solved from the source, but let go.
How likely is it to expect an inner housewife to restrain all the grandchildren?
As soon as Sun Guifei entered the palace, she was named a noble concubine, and Sun Xun only got the position of first assistant, a very popular subject, in fact, this is only the appearance, the reason why Sun Guifei can be crowned a noble concubine as soon as she enters the palace is precisely with the help of the power of the Sun family.
It was because the emperor was jealous of those powers, and it was also because the emperor needed those powers, so there was a period of prosperity for the Sun family. Although Sun Guifei's downfall affected the future of the Sun family, what really made the Sun family lose was the actions of the Sun family and the emperor's division and removal of the Sun family's network.
It was the emperor who really wanted the Sun family to die, and it was Sun Xun who brought the Sun family to the point where the emperor regarded it as a thorn in his eye. From beginning to end, Sun Guifei was only a tool in this power struggle.
