Yang Jiaofeng on "Daming Dynasty 1566" No. 182 - Character Chapter No. 5:
Earlier we talked about Zhou Yunyi, who received a box lunch in the opening five minutes of the whole play, and it can be said that his death was on the one hand because he touched the authority of the imperial power, and on the other hand, he became a victim of political balance.
As the change of rice to mulberry progressed, more officials began to die one after another, among which Li Xuan, the local river supervisor in Zhejiang, was the second official to receive a box lunch in the whole drama.
Li Xuan, a eunuch, was the favorite dry son of Yang Jinshui, a eunuch of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and the chief of the Zhejiang Municipal Shipping Department, and Yang Jinshui was also the favorite dry son of Lü Fang, the eunuch in charge of the eunuch and personal secretary of the Jiajing Emperor.
If there is no destruction of the embankment and flooding of the field, Li Xuan, as Yang Jinshui's successor, will inevitably have a bright career, but it will backfire, so why did Li Xuan, who was deeply trusted, become the first batch of unjust ghosts?
Yang Jiaofeng on "Daming Dynasty 1566" No. 182 - Character Chapter No. 5: Daming Dynasty: Sleeping with Yunniang for one night, but taking his life, why is Li Xuan willing to die?
One
The post of chief manager of the Xin'an River was actually concurrently held by Ma Ningyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, and he was aware of the destruction of the embankment and the flooding of the fields. The post of superintendent of the Xin'an River was concurrently held by Li Xuan, a eunuch sent by the imperial court, and he was unaware of the destruction of the embankment and the flooding of the fields.
Before explaining why Li Xuan was executed, let's briefly talk about the eunuch system of the Ming Dynasty:
If we look at history, it will be obvious that the three periods in which eunuchs had the greatest power were the Eastern Han Dynasty, the late Tang Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty.
But in fact, these three dynasties are also different, the eunuchs of the Eastern Han Dynasty are a bit underwhelmed, and they rely on the emperor to give orders; the eunuchs of the late Tang Dynasty are more excessive, happy that you are the emperor, unhappy, change the emperor; and when the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, they have changed again, becoming a dog of the emperor, loyal and loyal, in the words of Yang Jinshui in the play:
"I am the emperor, a dog sent to Zhejiang by the old ancestors, and I have to watch this home!"
Don't look at the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, who was born as a native leopard, in fact, his summary of history is quite accurate, and after becoming emperor, he issued an order prohibiting eunuchs from interfering in politics, and wrote into the Daming Law:
"Ministers in the interior must not interfere in political affairs, and those who foresee it are to beheaded."
It was Xiao Zhu who broke this rule - Zhu Di, yes, he even ousted Zhu Yunjiao, the heir to the throne designated by Old Zhu, did he still care about such a rule?
Two
In the process of Launching the Jing Dynasty, many eunuchs made great contributions, and after he took the throne, he also began to reuse eunuchs, such as zheng he, the eunuch of the Three Guarantees that we are most familiar with, and the East Factory was also established from that time.
Lao Zhu knows a truth:
"Hooligans are not terrible, they are afraid that hooligans have culture!"
He himself was also stained with the light of literacy, otherwise he really would not be able to become this emperor. When his great-grandson Zhu Zhanji took the throne, this boy was lazy and lazy to read the folds, so he opened a school in the palace and began to teach eunuchs to read and write.
By the time of Zhu Qizhen, the eunuch clique had been completely released, and the great eunuch Wang Zhen not only had an arbitrary power, but even kicked away the sign that the old Zhu Li was standing in front of the palace, "Internal ministers must not interfere in political affairs." Under his wise and divine command, he successfully gave Yingzong to the Valar people at Tumu Fort.
After that, the eunuch clique began to act as an independent political force, active in the court, assisting the imperial power in balancing the civilian clique.
Li Xuan was sent to Zhejiang by a group of eunuchs under the imperial power in the fourth stage, similar to the role of political commissar, responsible for supervising the local governor, so his relationship with Ma Ningyuan was this relationship.
Li Xuan can become Yang Jinshui's favorite dry son, and his wisdom is needless to say, let's look at his performance in the play:
After Xin'anJiang broke the mouth, he reported to Yang Jinshui for the first time:
"Dry daddy, dry daddy, nine counties, nine counties of the weir mouth, are all cracked, someone must want to break the mouth, this is to harm the son, harm the dry father you!"
Three
When Li Xuan faced the crisis, the only person he could think of and could ask for help was Yang Jinshui, and he had to find ways to bind him.
Yang Jinshui asked him:
"Where in the world is there a river embankment like a golden soup, and where is there a weir like a golden soup?"
Li Xuan immediately understood that it was really not because everyone embezzled the money for repairing the river, resulting in the destruction of the embankment, this was really a man-made breach of the embankment, and Yang Jinshui was aware of it:
"Daddy, you know all about this?"
Knowing also has to not know ah, where Yang Jinshui dares to admit to knowing, can only hint at Li Xuan, sometimes know less things are good for himself:
"There are some things that don't go on the scale without four or two weights, but they can't beat a thousand pounds on the scale!"
Yang Jinshui said that he couldn't kill you, but Li Xuan wasn't stupid, and since he couldn't save it, he would quickly transfer me away?
In fact, Li Xuan could not leave, and whether he could survive or not was not what Yang Jinshui said, but Hu Zongxian.
According to their reasoning, as long as Hu Zongxian reported the disaster in the name of natural disaster, then no one else would die, but Hu Zongxian had his own considerations:
"In the same Dragon Boat Festival, the Baimao River and wusong river in neighboring provinces and we all built embankments last year, and we spent the construction of two of them on one river." They have a solid place there, and we have poured such a big flood here. This lie, you have to pull the circle! ”
The so-called autumn pants are tucked into the socks, and the autumn clothes are tied into the autumn pants, which is the minimum respect for winter. The levee built by others is impregnable, but the levee we built is broken in nine counties, is this what everyone wants to die in a group?
Four
Since you don't want to die in a group, then someone has to be responsible, who is responsible?
Hangzhou prefect Ma Ningyuan, river supervisor Li Xuan, Chun'an Zhi County Chang Boxi, Jiande Zhi County Zhang Zhiliang!
Ma Ningyuan's death had been analyzed before, but he was aware of It, and he had a purpose in doing so. That is to solve the dilemma of changing rice to mulberry, it cannot be said that Ma Ning is far from trying, he has also tried, but has not succeeded.
And his simple head could not think of a better way, he only knew that if he did not change, Hu Zongxian would be implicated, and destroyed the embankment and flooded the field, and he went to bear the guilt himself, and Hu Zongxian passed the pass smoothly.
Since he was accused of "greed for ink and silver", his reputation was not good, but today's saint is a greedy lord. If Li Xuan did not die, Yang Jinshui would not be clean, Lü Fang would be implicated, and the Jiajing Emperor was a fairly good-looking person.
Later, Shen Yishi went to buy grain under the guise of "Weaving Bureau", and the Jiajing Emperor was furious, and Yang Jinshui desperately wanted to take off those lanterns.
Li Xuan was called by Yang Jinshui for the second time, and the courtesy was quite high, and there must be a demon when something abnormal happened, and Li Xuan was almost scared to pee at that time:
"Daddy, you always know that your son is timid, don't scare me!"
As Yang Jinshui said three words and poured three glasses of wine for Li Xuan, Li Xuan knew that he was doomed.
Many people did not understand, since Li Xuan was bound to die, even he said:
"Whether you want to or not is not up to you."
If this was the case, why did Yang Jinshui still have to send Yunniang to him to sleep for one night, and if he didn't give it to him, could Li Xuan also turn the sky upside down?
Five
Compared to the other three Ma Ningyuan, Chang Boxi, and Zhang Zhiliang, who died at the same time, Li Xuan was the most wronged, and those three good villains knew what they were doing, and Li Xuan was completely an innocent victim.
Li Xuan actually died for Yang Jinshui who knew about it, since he died for Gan's father, Yang Jinshui did not express it, how could he get by?
And Li Xuan's biggest wish is to sleep with Yunniang, such a small request, Yang Jinshui will inevitably satisfy him. You must know that Li Xuan can completely get rid of the crime, if he is not willing to die, if he repeatedly pulls out something, Yang Jinshui cannot bear such a big risk.
As a branch of eunuchs, they also asked for special rules, Li Xuan died for Yang Jinshui, and Yang Jinshui defended Lü Fang. Without this rule, It is not known whether Yang Jinshui could escape Chen Hong's killing intent, but he would definitely die at the hands of Lü Fang.
In front of the Jiajing Emperor, the death of several dry sons, not at all called anything!
Yunniang accompanied Li Xuan for one night, Yang Jinshui did not say anything, Shen Yishi could not stand it, and afterwards he asked Yunniang:
"You have to show me how to serve Li Xuan that night!"
Yunniang refused, Shen Yishi was devastated, and asked if it was too cheap, Yunniang cried:
"Li Xuan, treat me like a heavenly person, and you treat me as a slut!"
And what happened that night?
In fact, nothing happened, Li Xuan was a eunuch after all, he thought, he also had to have that strength, that night was just lying on Yunniang's lap and sleeping for one night.
Before his execution, Li Xuan also sang the play:
"Xiao Lai who is frosted and drunk, always leaving people in tears..."
This scene is a Kun opera, which is about the warbler sending off Zhang Sheng, and when the farewell is sent off, the tears are in tears...
Li Xuan's death was not unjust?
Not at all!
Just like when we write a manuscript, if the platform review does not pass, then, not a word in the article is innocent!
