The Twelve Hours of Chang'an is an adaptation of Ma Boyong's novel of the same name, starring Lei Jiayin and Yi Qianxi. The drama received rave reviews and once again aroused everyone's interest in Datang. In the 12th episode of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", a small character Yuan Zai appeared, and his appearance was quite interesting.
Do not use charcoal fire for heating, but rely on people around for heating, after the end of heating, but there is no money to pay for the work, there is no leftover rice at home, but they are still incense, but the look is so calm. This person in the play is a character who is a commentator of Dali Temple.
King Yong asked Feng Dalun to raise Zhang Xiaojing, and Feng Dalun found Yuan Zai and asked Yuan Zai to use the formal transfer document to the county jail, and the county jail took this document to Jing'an Si to ask for people.
He Jian's prototype is the Siming madman He Zhizhang, Li Bi's prototype is Li Bi, and the prototype of Right Xiang Lin Jiulang is Li Linfu. The prototype of General Wang Zongfeng was Wang Zhongsi. Their names have all changed, but the prototype of Yuan Zai is Yuan Zai. In the play, Wang Yunxiu, who Yuan Zai pretended to save, was his wife in history, and Wang Yunxiu was Wang Zhongsi's daughter.
But this little person, who is not a good person at first glance, is the future prime minister of datang and has been holding the minister for 15 years. This estimate has surprised many friends. Zhi Changrong went with everyone to understand this future Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Yuan Zai.
Yuan Zai is not surnamed Yuan, his father Jing Sheng.
Father Sheng, Ben Jingshi. Cao Wang Ming Concubine Yuan Shi Tian in Fu Feng, Sheng Lord its rent, there is Labor, please Yu Concubine, pretend to be Yuan Shi - New Book of Tang. Lectionary Volume 70
But there is some discrepancy between this and the old Tang Book records
Zaimu carries Zai ShiJingsheng, with the surname Yuan--Old Book of Tang. Lectionary Volume 68
No matter what the case is, yuan zai is not a surname yuan anyway, and finally changed his surname. Yuan Zai grew up in a not very good environment, the family is very poor, this has had a major impact on his future behavior, as will be discussed below.
But Yuan Zai is definitely an aspiring teenager, a teenager, who was particularly fond of reading and reading books when he was a teenager, and was particularly interested in Taoist books. Since the Wu Zetian period, there have been special Taoist cultural promotions.
During the tang xuanzong period, it was necessary to select people who were familiar with the Tao Te Ching, Zhuangzi, Liezi, and Wenzi, so Yuan Zai officially entered the career path, and soon moved to Dali Commentary, that is, the scene described in the play "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" is the scene where Yuan Zai is just in. At this time, Yuan Zai was not young, and had reached the age of establishment.
Yuan Zai did not do much in the Tang Xuanzong Dynasty, but soon the opportunity came.
Here is a character, that is, Li Fuguo. During the Anshi Rebellion, he supported Tang Suzong, so Tang Suzong trusted him very much and changed his name to Fuguo. Later, he firmly supported the tang dynasty emperor to take the throne, so the tang dynasty emperor honored him as "Shang Father".
Li Fuguo's wife is also surnamed Yuan, and I also wondered if Li Fuguo was a eunuch, so what was he doing when he married a wife? But that's what the history books say.
Zai and The Lucky Minister Li Fu Guoshan. Fuguo's wife Yuanshi, contained in the Zhuzong - Old Book of Tang. Lectionary Volume 68
At that time, Li Fuguo was covering the sky with one hand in the Suzong Dynasty, as long as Li Fuguo said it.
Yuan Zai's own level is good, his ability is also good, Tang Suzong originally admired him, plus Yuan Zai took Li Fuguo's line, naturally he was flat.
Originally, Yuan Zai was not the prime minister, because Li Fuguo himself wanted to be the prime minister, but Xiao Hua, the prime minister at the time, expressed strong opposition, and there was never a eunuch prime minister in the Tang Dynasty. Even if Li Fuguo's power is greater, this pressure is still there, so he retreats to the background and lets Yuan Zai sit in this position.
The image of Li Fuguo in film and television dramas
There's also a little story here.
Li Fuguo wanted Yuan Zai to serve as Jing Zhaoyin at that time, but Yuan Zai said that he could not do it and did not have this ability. These two are human spirits, as soon as these words came out, Li Fuguo understood that Yuan Zai wanted a bigger official, plus he was hindered from being the prime minister, and Shunshui pushed the boat in this way Yuan Zai became the prime minister.
Yi Fuguo earnestly resigned Jing Yin, and Fu guo understood its meaning, of course. The next day, he paid homage to Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, and duzhi transferred the envoy as before--The Old Book of Tang. Lectionary Volume 68
But later, Emperor Tang wanted to kill Li Fuguo, and Yuan Zai actively cooperated, and Li Fuguo could not think of the front desk figure he had pulled out, and finally took a butcher knife and slashed at himself. In the end, Li Fuguo was assassinated by tang dynasty sects.
The big tree has fallen, and Yuan Zai himself has become a big tree, and he doesn't need to rely on others.
Yuan Zai, who became a big tree, naturally adopted the same technique as Lin Jiulang (Li Linfu). About Li Linfu, you can see "Li Linfu's promotion is no less than a thick black school, but the children are involved and eventually exiled" does not expand here.
He colluded with dong xiu, a close minister of the emperor, so he knew every word and deed of the emperor, and naturally there would be no mistake when answering. So the emperor trusted him even more.
At this time, he killed another powerful eunuch, Yu Chao'en. It should be known that Li Fuguo and Yu Chao'en are the characters of the famous Tang Dynasty general Guo Ziyi who have a headache when they see it, and Yu Chao'en dug up Guo Ziyi's ancestral grave, and as a result, Guo Ziyi also said good things for Yu Chao'en. These two powerful figures could not even figure Out Guo Ziyi, and eventually lost to Yuan Zai, which shows that Yuan Zai's means are powerful.
After doing such two major things, the emperor's trust in Yuan Zai was 100 percent, and Yuan Zai himself felt that he was the first person in the DPRK and had monopoly power. The poverty of childhood produced a vengeful remedy at this time.
Yuan Zai began endless corruption.
The city opened the north and south of the second class, the room yu Hongli, the crown at that time The southern part of the city is anointed with villas, and the borders are connected to each other, where there are dozens of them, and there are more than 100 servants and servants who are lawless and extravagant -- Old Book of Tang. Lectionary Volume 68
This passage does not need to be translated, and everyone can understand it.
There is another interesting thing here, in the "Twelve Hours of Chang'an", Wang Yunxiu appears to be a very unreasonable, simple-minded person, but in the historical record of this person is:
Wang Shi (王氏), the daughter of Hexi Jiedushi (河西節度使忠嗣), the daughter of The GreatEst Honor, the GreatEst Daughter of the Emperor, the New Book of Tang. Lectionary Volume 70
Therefore, Yuan Zai is afraid of his fear of death, Yuan Zai has unlimited scenery outside, and he is a quail at home. Not only that, Wang Yunxiu also intervened in the orders of the officials.
Yuan Zai also wrote a poem about his wife, which remained in the Quan Tang poems.
Don't marry Wang Yunxiu Who has not been tired of the Dragon Bell for many years, although it seems to be intolerable in Houmen. Look at the cold green trees of the sea and mountains, and suffer from frost and hail to Qin Feng
In this way, Yuan Zai was corrupt on the one hand, and on the other hand, he cracked down on dissidents and colluded with Wang Jin.
After all, the paper could not contain the fire, And Tang Dynasty Zong naturally knew, but Tang Daizong was still quite humane, so his first reaction after getting someone else's whistleblowing letter was not a thorough investigation, but to find Yuan Zai to interview, hoping that he could converge. Because Yuan Zai is good to say that for many years, there is no merit and there is hard work. In addition, he also helped himself eliminate the two eunuchs and regained the power of the emperor.
Has the metaload been changed? Nothing has changed, continue so.
In this way, Emperor Tang's face could not be hung, so he imprisoned Yuan Zai and Wang Jin, and finally Yuan Zai committed suicide, the child's wife died, and the tomb of Yuan Zai's father and ancestor was also ordered to be split and discarded.
Once rich and noble, it is eventually like smoke, and it comes and goes quickly, not only to the family, but also to the father and grandfather. It's a shame to read!
If Yuan Zai did not end up embezzling, then he would be the object of inspiration for a poor child. Unfortunately, good and evil are in one thought, and good or bad is only in a moment.
Yuan Zai started his career by reading Taoist scholarship, so a passage from chapter 44 of the Tao Te Ching:
Name and body. There are many goods and goods. Get sick with death. That's why love will be a big expense. Many treasures will be thick and dead.
He must have read a passage from chapter 67: I have three treasures to hold and protect: one is kindness, the second is thrift, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world.
Definitely read it too. But in the end he forgot, and he forgot all about it. Therefore, to know and not to do is to not know, and how important it is to unite knowledge and action.
When liquidating Yuanzai, eight hundred cartons of pepper were found, do you think you can use it up in this lifetime? In the Qing Dynasty, there was a man named Ding Yaokang who raised a question: in life, he lived for sixty years, except for the years when the old and the young were unbearable, and those who could be happy for more than forty years. That is, extreme food and clothing. He also couldn't understand what Yuan Zai's family was doing with eight hundred tons of pepper. The explanation he gave was that foolishness is greedy, and greed is reborn as foolishness.
Using modern psychology to interpret this is a kind of supplementary psychology, when I was a child, I was poor and afraid, and when I grew up, I saw the opportunity, and I moved everything to my home, so that I could have a sense of security. Such people abound in history. Kuang Heng, the inspirational object we once read, chiseled the wall and stole the light, became the Western Han Dynasty Minister through hard work, but also because of the illegal expansion of more than 40,000 acres of land to become a commoner again.
Life is really wonderful sometimes, what do you want to say?
