The TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" is adapted from Mr. February River's novel "Yongzheng Emperor", and For the wonderful performance of this play, Mr. February River gave a modest evaluation of 80 points; but for the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty" adapted from "Kangxi Emperor", Mr. February River only gave a 4-word evaluation: there is nothing to say.
This sentence "nothing to say" is our theme today, only as far as the first episode of "Kangxi Dynasty" is concerned, although the opening life principle is indeed worthy of its name of "historical giant", but the number of slots in the play, far away from history, people can't help but complain madly.
Before dawn, the emperor's third son Xuan Ye and the future Kangxi Emperor had to rush to class. After Xuan Ye gave a sentence of "I am hungry", the eunuch gave this sentence:
"Brother, we have to study first and then eat, so that we can digest the knowledge!" You are the prince, you are not the children of the common people, the children of the people are worried about eating, and the prince must worry about reading. ”
From Li Dequan in the "Yongzheng Dynasty", to the eunuch in the "Kangxi Dynasty", and even Su Peisheng in "The Biography of Zhen Huan", almost all of them are the old monsters who are the eye-catching in the play, not much to say, but they can always talk about the root of the problem in one sentence.
The most false sentence in this world is "all people are born equal", born in the people's home, just for a mouthful of food; born in the family of officials and eunuchs, began to think about how to deal with the world and life planning; born in the family of the emperor, is for the sake of the world and governing the country; this is a common practice throughout the ages, unchanged throughout the ages.
After Xuan Ye gave the question of "farming bitterly, or reading bitterly", the close eunuch gave a sharp answer:
"People who cultivate the land say that farming is bitter, and people who read say that reading is bitter!"
"Only to see thieves eat meat, not to see thieves beaten", this is human nature, is never able to put themselves in the position of the other party to consider the problem.
The difference between "bitterness" and "non-bitterness" lies in the contrast, not in the "bitterness" itself, you taste, you taste!
The simple two sentences reveal the great truth of life, which shows that the height originally set by "Kangxi Dynasty" seems to be similar to that of "Yongzheng Dynasty", but if we continue to look down, we will find that this "height" is getting lower and lower, even to the point of being able to spit out.
First, let's look at a conversation between Concubine E and the Shunzhi Emperor.
This famous "Empress Xiaoxian" in history was a haggard appearance of illness and illness as soon as she appeared, but don't be blinded by her appearance and look at her vicious thoughts:
"Concubines want a child, and the biggest regret of a concubine is that she did not give birth to a prince to the emperor, so although the concubine was loved by the emperor, she seemed to be stolen every day and night, every moment, and if she did not pay attention, she would be destroyed."
I just want to ask, who was born to Prince Rong, who was called "the first son of Shunzhi" and wanted to be crown prince as soon as he was born?
Seeing no, although our concubine E's concubine was ill, she deeply understood the general rule of the harem of "mother is precious to her son", and wanted to "give birth to a prince" to stabilize the position of the harem and continue the current grace.
Let's look at how the "infatuated" Shunzhi Emperor responded:
"Aifei, when you are well, sleeping with you night and night will definitely make you pregnant with the dragon species."
As far as your grace is concerned, Princess Egui has not been able to give birth, and if you are well, you can let her conceive a dragon species? Princess Egui's true intentions, do you really not understand or deliberately pretend to be stupid?
Hearing the Shunzhi Emperor say this, Princess Eguifei estimated that she would be mad, but she still had to ensure her posture and maintain her demeanor. Therefore, Princess Eguifei held the shelf and simply pointed out her thoughts:
"The concubine wants it now, and the concubine dreams at night, saying that if the concubine has a crown prince as a successor, the concubine's disease will be cured without medicine."
Want it now, what to do? In addition, if there is a prince now, my illness will be cured immediately, what do you say?
Evaluated by Qing historians as "although shizu had affection, Dong E was undefeated" filial piety to the empress, and was vividly interpreted into such a look; a "love story" that touched the world became a "Zhen Huan version" full of cunning means to invite favors and compete for favors, and Mr. February River could not give the evaluation of "nothing to say"!
Only then did the Shunzhi Emperor understand the words of Concubine E:
"Confess the evil spirit? In this way, Concubine Tong Guifei had two princes, the second brother and the third brother, and after today's Wenhua Palace examination, She ordered the third brother to enter the inheritance qian palace. ”
The birth mother of the third son of the emperor, Empress Xiaokangzhang, Empress Tong Jiashi, had Xuan Ye as a prince all her life, and she had always been a "concubine" in the Shunzhi Dynasty. Brother Two, where did it come from? Tong Guifei, where did you come from?
There is nothing wrong with the "Chengqian Palace" where Concubine Egui lived; however, this "Wenhua Palace" has an extremely obvious error.
After the "Ting Examination" (if the Emperor examines the Emperor is also called the "Ting Examination"), Xingsen once said to the Shunzhi Emperor:
"Emperor, as far as the poor monk knows, the Nine Dragon Collapse of the Wenhua Hall was left by the former Ming Emperor and has not been moved for hundreds of years, and the Emperor actually gave it to the Three Brothers, and the poor monk is really infinitely admired!"
If you say that you are a monk, you will finish chanting the sutra and praying to the Buddha, and you will have to shake the emperor to become a monk, which is not called grace and life, but a disaster for the country and the people. Besides, when Li Zicheng retired to Beijing, the Wenhua Hall was burned by a fire, and you said that the Nine Dragons in the Wenhua Hall had not moved for hundreds of years.
Looking at it again, Xingsen commented on the "Reading Xiang Bone" under Xuan Ye, the third son of the Emperor who "stood to take the test":
"From the perspective of the poor monks, all the brothers are incredibly expensive, especially the three brothers Xuanye. If the moon is stationed in the western sky, standing out from the flock, please see, although he stands to take the test, he is calm and relaxed, simple and unpretentious, his heart is like an ancient well, and his body is like a rock! ”
Oh my God, take Xingsen away, he's so capable of fooling around!
Just said that the brothers are "expensive", you immediately come to a "stand out from the crowd", who are you disgusting?
"Body like a rock", I can understand; how many meanings do you mean to describe the virtues of an ancient chaste woman with "heart like an ancient well" on an eight-year-old child?
Now, I understand why the Shunzhi Emperor had to become a monk. He was fooled by Xingsen!
In addition, a harem concubine can casually cry in front of the empress dowager and cry about "thinking of children", do you believe it? A little palace girl who has just entered the palace dares to directly call Empress Xiaozhuang (grace, that is, the predetermined nickname) as "mother-in-law", and Empress Xiaozhuang is still surprised, do you believe it?
What is even more ridiculous is the dialogue between Empress Xiaozhuang and Xiao Suma:
Empress Xiaozhuang said, "You read me a Tang poem," Xiao Suma said, "Read the Song Ci," and then, Wang Anshi's Plum Blossoms:
There were several plum branches in the corner of the wall, and Ling Han opened it alone.
Haruka is not snow, for there is dark incense to come.
Although I read a lot of books, I also know that this is a "five-word sentence" - "one of the poetry genres", not a "Song Word", you are a serious bully, you must be pulled out and buried alive!
What is even more unexpected is that a little girl who has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood will recite a song of "Plum Blossoms" and it is worth Empress Xiaozhuang's sigh of "Yatou, you are so smart"? Now, even if there is no ordinary family with "courtyards, pavilions, small bridges, and flowing waters" at home, if the child will not recite this "Plum Blossom" when he is three years old, I am afraid that he will have to worry about whether he is mentally developing late. However, it is said that the historical Empress Xiaozhuang has never respected Han culture, which may be the reason why she lamented so much. Well, there is finally a bridge section that fits the historical facts!
Let's talk about the companion reading of the emperor's third son Xuan Ye - Wei Dongting.
Wei Dongting's father, Wei Chengmo, was adapted from Fan Chengmo, a famous minister of the Kangxi Dynasty, who was also the son of Fan Wencheng, the "head of the Wenchen of the early Qing Dynasty". Combined with Wei Chengmo's identity as an "imperial master", Wei Dongting's identity as a "companion reader" and his great feats of "capturing and worshiping", it seems reasonable that Wei Dongting was awarded the title of "prince" in his later years.
However, even the bastard son of the Qianlong Emperor, Fu Kang'an, was only given the title of "Beizi" before his death and posthumously; Cao Yin, the historical prototype of Wei Dongting, was only the "Jiangning Weaving" of the official "Zheng Wupin"; seeing that Wei Dongting in the play could be named "Prince", I suddenly felt how reasonable it was that the Yongzheng Emperor in "The Biography of Zhen Huan" could be killed by Zhen Huan.
Notice that this is only the beginning of "Kangxi Dynasty", and now, you understand why Mr. February River has "nothing to say" about "Kangxi Dynasty"!
