"Kaifeng has a Bao Qingtian, the iron mask selflessly distinguishes between loyal and adulterous, the jianghu Haojie comes to help, the dynasty Mahan is around...", presumably everyone has heard of this catchy "Bao Qingtian", Bao Zheng, as a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, is known for his honesty and justice, just as the so-called "Gao Gao Qing name, eternal grinding", posterity in order to publicize its good name, with Bao Zheng as the prototype to create many literary works.
In these works, Bao Zheng is not "fighting alone", he has his own "team", first of all, Gongsun Ce as a think tank, then Nanxia Zhan Zhao, who is highly skilled in martial arts, and finally the four major bodyguards of Dynasty Mahan and Zhang Longzhao.
So after Bao Zheng's death, what was the fate of these four guards? Let's find out!
Fictional images
First of all, it should be clear that Dynasty Mahan and Zhang Longzhao Hu are fictional characters in the Qing Dynasty novel "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", and there is no record of these four people in the Zhengshi, but because the image shaping is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, people think that they are real.
Dynasty MaHan and Zhang Longzhao Hu were also known as the "Four Warriors of Kaifeng Province", and the four of them jointly served under Bao Zheng, assisted him in handling countless cases, and made great achievements.
In the novel, Dynasty Mahan and Zhang Long Zhao Hu both have a vendetta against the main villain in the book, Pang Taishi, Zhang Long Zhao Hu was originally a subordinate of Pang Taishi, because he was not accustomed to Pang Taishi's style, and Wang Chao Mahan was disqualified by Pang Taishi when he took the wuju examination.
During this period, the four of them hijacked Bao Zheng, who had been deposed, and the four of them were infected by Bao Zheng's heart, saying that if Bao Zheng was reinstated, the four were willing to do the work of the dogs and horses, and later Bao Zheng was reinstated, and the four arrived as promised.
From then on, he followed Bao Zheng, saddled before and after the horse, and was loyal.
The TV series "Young Bao Qingtian" has also portrayed these four characters, which is slightly different from the background of the life described in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", but the meaning is roughly similar, the four are all unambitious warriors, or admire Bao Zheng's name, or have received the favor of Bao Zheng, gathered under Bao Zheng's banner to seek justice for the people!
Is there a need for the "Four Great Warriors of Kaifeng Province" to exist
Some people think that the four people of Dynasty Mahan and Zhang Long zhao hu are somewhat superfluous, and that the wisdom and strategy are not as good as Gongsun Ce, and the martial arts are not as good as Zhan Zhao, just like "chicken ribs": food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it! Is this really the case?
Of course not, Dynasty Mahan and Zhang Longzhao Hu have their own "positioning", the four of them are Bao Zheng's absolute confidants, and Bao Zheng is a master-servant relationship, playing the role of "long follower", following Bao Zheng to "handle cases on the move".
In the process of handling the case, they are responsible for the visits to the case, the collection of evidence, the summons and protection of witnesses, etc., and these Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao will not do, the relationship between the two of them and Bao Zheng is more like "cooperation", Gongsun Ce is brilliant and has a clear mind.
In addition to assisting Bao Zheng in handling the case, the more important duty is to help Bao Zheng deal with the relationship between the court, Zhan Zhao is a hero-level figure, "high and high", as long as he is out of the horse, there is no problem that cannot be solved!
Therefore, the small team of Bao Zheng has a clear division of labor, each has its own responsibilities, and everyone is indispensable.
Moreover, Wang ChaoMahan and Zhang Longzhao Hu were also responsible for the "face project", and the four of them were wearing bright and beautiful uniforms and holding swords to open the way for Bao Zheng, how mighty! How imposing!
The end of the four
Because Dynasty Mahan and Zhang Longzhao Hu are fictional characters, there is no record of the ending of the four people in the history, and the book does not explain the ending of these four people, but we can boldly speculate that the ending of the four people is nothing more than two:
First, these four people were killed by Bao Zheng's enemies, Bao Zheng was an official all his life, he was not afraid of the powerful, he was honest and honest, and he violated the interests of many powerful people, these people had no choice but to save Bao Zheng, and they were likely to spread their anger on his subordinates, so The dynasty Mahan and the other four were likely to be persecuted by the magnates after Bao Zheng's death!
Second, the four people fled to the rivers and lakes and lived a life of happiness and vengeance, although the dynasty Mahan and Zhang Long Zhao Hu had the official position of lieutenant of the Six Pins, they did not have a sense of belonging to the imperial court, and what they worshiped and followed was only Bao Zheng, so after Bao Zheng's death, the four of them decided that it would be impossible for them to serve the imperial court anymore, and it was very likely that they would stay away from the court and return to the hidden rivers and lakes.
brief summary:
For us, of course, I hope that the four people of Dynasty Mahan and Zhang Long zhao hu are the second kind of ending, they follow Bao Zheng, work hard and complain, be diligent and earnest, work hard and do high, and should have a good ending, the reason why the author did not explain the final fate of the four people is to leave us with a space for imagination.
In addition, we should also learn like the four of them, to be able to find their own "positioning", the so-called "natural I will be useful", everyone has their own strengths, as long as they can find the right "role", they can become an indispensable person in the team!
