Chapter 237: The King Dies
Zhu Houzhao, a wonderful emperor.
He had a good father, Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youji, who was generous and benevolent, frugal and quiet, diligent in political affairs, and attached importance to justice. During his eighteen years of reign, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has risen, and the government has gradually become clear, and it can be said that he is a promising Ming monarch.
Zhu Youzhi reigned for 18 years, because he was not a woman, he only favored Queen Zhang, and only had three children, one of whom died young, only Zhu Houzhao grew up lively and was praised as the pearl of his palm.
Zhu Houzhao has been smart and witty since he was a child, and likes to ride and shoot. But unlike him, who is not close to women, he is absurd, indulged in women's sex and men's sex, does not care about political affairs, and pampers the eight eunuchs, known as the Eight Tigers. Among them, Liu Jin, the head of the Eight Tigers, was the most favored and powerful, and was called the emperor at the time.
may have been taught by his Lao Tzu to be a good emperor since he was a child, Zhu Houzhao was under too much pressure, and when he Lao Tzu died, he would all reverse the situation, how to eat, drink and have fun. Build a leopard house manufacturability. medicine, playing with women, women in the palace have had enough, so they engage in homosexuality, and finally become infertile and childless.
This is, of course, Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty Wuzong in the record of the History of the Ming Dynasty.
However, although Zhu Houzhao is a bastard, he can't be said to be useless.
He had the courage and force, and personally led the army to battle, defeated the Tatar army, he ate and lived with ordinary soldiers, and even killed one enemy with his own hands, which greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army. Moreover, he is not always unscrupulous, and often goes to the court to listen to the government, criticize the recitals, and decide on national affairs.
After all, he was smart when he was young, his IQ was not low, and he knew the minimum scale of being an emperor, and he couldn't play the country badly. Later, because Liu Jin was too arrogant, he killed Liu Jin with his backhand, and he still had the domineering spirit of a monarch.
Strictly speaking. Zhu Houzhao's bad Cheng dΓΉ is not necessarily as absurd as written in the history books, and the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was compiled by the Qing Dynasty, so it is natural to smear it greatly.
During his time in power, Zhu Houzhao must have established extraordinary martial arts. According to the History of the Ming Dynasty, Tatar (Mongolia) was led by the little prince. About 50,000 people invaded the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army was 3,000 at first, and then nearly 10,000 people rushed from the direction of Xuanfu and Datong, and when Zhu Houzhao personally came to support, the number was only 30,000.
Then these 30,000 people were used to attack the 50,000 Tatars, and more than 100 battles were fought, and finally the Tatars fled. From then on, in the end, Zhu Houzhao was in the same dynasty, and the Tatars did not dare to invade the Ming Dynasty again.
The "History of the Ming Dynasty" written by the coated minions is a melee of nearly 100,000 troops. It turned out that 52 soldiers were killed and 16 Tatars were killed, and one of these 16 people was beheaded by Zhu Houzhao himself.
It can be seen how deeply the history books distort Zhu Houzhao.
The Qing Dynasty compiled history books and scolded Zhu Houzhao for being extremely shameless, but Zhu Houzhao did not build a large number of buildings, lived in a tent by himself when he left the palace, visited his courtiers when he was sick, went to eat wine before getting married, and learned to understand the classics by memorizing Sanskrit.
asked the magistrate for local products, but the local officials were dissatisfied with Zhu Houzhao's behavior of asking for gifts, and contradicted that there were no local specialties, and Zhu Houzhao did not blame him. Pat your ass and go.
And Zhu Houzhao reigned for sixteen years, and did not expand greatly. Palace. didn't even have a son and a half daughter left. Just as the Tang Dynasty wrote a history book saying that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was absurd and unreasonable, but Yang Guang only had two sons in total, and they were all born to the queen.
The history book, after all, was written by the victor, and the past is long, and it is impossible to really understand it.
Just Xu Hao's own feelings. He agrees with a saying: "The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies." β
In the 276-year history of the Ming Dynasty, there was no harmony between the Han Dynasty, no alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and no Song Dynasty. There is no brotherly hostile gift. From Ming Yingzong to Emperor Chongzhen several times north. In the defense of Beijing, the Ming Dynasty never decided to move the capital, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died.
It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty was not a strong dynasty, and coupled with the continuous smearing and distortion of the Qing Dynasty's history books, it almost became a shame in Chinese history.
When Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, he said: "I will remove the crown, cover my face with my hair, and let the thief split the corpse, so as not to hurt the people." β
Pu Yi wrote his memoirs: "At this time, what occupied my whole heart was not how many people died in the northeast, not how the Japanese wanted to rule this colony. I don't care how many troops it wants to station, what mines it wants to mine, all I care about is restoration, and I want them to recognize me as an emperor. β
From the emperor to the ministers to the common people, the Ming Dynasty was indeed a dynasty with integrity. What is more familiar to everyone is that the favorite of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty is to scold the emperor and be beaten by the emperor, and only the ministers who dare to directly advise the emperor are good ministers.
Perhaps it is this kind of atmosphere, in the end of the Ming Dynasty, no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, Emperor Chongzhen chose to hang himself, after the death of the country, the Ming Dynasty army still insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty for 38 years.
Excellent. The people refused to shave their heads, and they were slaughtered three times by the Qing army.
Yang. On the 10th of the state, the people refused to shave their heads, and were slaughtered by the Qing army for ten days, and more than 800,000 corpses were collected alone.
River. On the 81st day of the cloud, the whole city resisted the Qing Dynasty for 81 days, and finally all of them were martyred, and no one surrendered.
Big. Same as massacre, wide. State Massacre, IV. Sichuan Massacre......
It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty has been ancient, and after the Qing Dynasty Daxing Writing Prison, the historical records have been lost too much, and finally I have to go around and retrieve some historical materials from Japan, only to know a lot of the past. To this day, the government calls for national unity, let alone talks about this history.
Qing court drama is the focus of the moment.
β¦β¦
Shaking his head, Xu Hao threw his angry thoughts out of his head.
He didn't do it to study history, but just to have a fuller understanding of Zhu Houzhao, the emperor. Now that he understands everything, Xu Hao is more confident about tomorrow's audition.
Arms in the night. The soft film and television base is exceptionally quiet.
Xu Hao thought that he would be very excited and could not sleep, but just like the first time he spent the night in Hengdian, he also slept until dawn.
Pillow with a strong lavender sleep pillow, I didn't even have a dream.
The next day, the whole person returned to a state full of energy.
In the morning, I finally found someone to fix the network and I could go online, Xu Hao hurriedly took the time to watch a lot of videos, "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", "The Young Son of Heaven", "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", to see how others played the Young Emperor, and then figured out how to perform, and finally found the feeling he needed.
The audition started in the afternoon, and Xu Hao found director Wu Weicai and directly explained his thoughts, he wanted to play Zhu Houzhao.
Wu Weicai asked casually: "Oh, why did you choose Zhu Houzhao, in fact, I wish Meijiang more room to play, right?" β
"Yesterday, the director, you told me the main content of the script, and I roughly summarized it, Zhu Houzhao is in the script, strictly speaking, a negative character. Then I went to think about Zhu Houzhao for myself, and I found that Zhu Houzhao is a very controversial figure, and I am afraid that I want to challenge this person. β
Xu Hao immediately gushed about his analysis of Zhu Houzhao, combined with the TV series as a martial arts film, and said it.
Being young and frivolous, ambitious, practicing martial arts and cultivating literature, and despising the common people is a contradictory combination, a state of both good and evil. Such a role is very suitable for breaking through his acting skills, and if he can play this Zhu Houzhao alive, Xu Hao will definitely have new insights in acting.
After listening to this, Wu Weicai nodded: "Although I think you think too much, the image of Zhu Houzhao in "Night Man" is not as plump as designed, and many times it is just an embellishment. However, since you are willing to think about it, it means that you really have an idea for this character, you can give it a try. β
"Thank you, Director."
Wu Weicai said very clearly, Zhu Houzhao's role in the TV series is not prominent, and he is not a role that is easy to show highlights, but Xu Hao did not waver.
First, if he wants to complete the task of [One Foot High], he must play an emperor; Second, he did feel very interested in Zhu Houzhao, a controversial figure.
To put it mildly, with a small investment drama like "Night Man", Xu Hao finds it hard to believe that it can really become popular. Therefore, whether it is Zhu Houzhao or Zhu Meijiang, it is very likely that it is just an opportunity for him to hone his acting skills.
So why not challenge an interesting character.
And Xu Hao also has a fate with this kind of negative role, he played a eunuch in "Brocade Daytime", a playboy in "Yun Zhifan", a Japanese devil in "Thirty-three", and a wonderful emperor in "Night Man", basically he played a variety of roles.
Xu Hao enjoys this different image and brings different feelings to himself. The feeling of integrating acting skills, it is difficult to feel the charm of being an actor without being an actor.
Holding the script in his hand, Xu Hao looked at the passages that the director had outlined and needed to perform.
Rapid memorization and reflection in the heart.
A few minutes later, as soon as QiΔ was ready, Xu Hao's audition began.
Under the gaze of Wu Weicai, Lou Yucheng and others, Xu Hao slowly changed into an arrogant expression, and then suddenly his expression was cold, and his voice was flat and thunderous: "Liu Jin, you dare to betray me!" β
Then he stared at a place in the void, as if it was Liu Jin, with an unfathomable majesty in his eyes: "You dog, I trust you in vain, you should die!" I'm going to break you to pieces, so I can relieve the hatred in my heart! β
Just these few times, the image of a young monarch who is not angry but powerful immediately burst out.
Next, Xu Hao performed for a while, and performed the spirit and majesty of the young son of heaven very well, and instantly won everyone's praise.
"I didn't say it, the role of Zhu Houzhao is up to you." Director Wu Weicai immediately made a decision, "After taking the script back, I have been in the north for the past two days. After three days, we almost finished the preliminary preparations and started the training. β
"Okay, director."
In this way, Xu Hao successfully won the role of Zhu Houzhao and played the role of the great tomorrow. (To be continued......)
