Chapter 602: Sorting Out the Truth
When I am mediocre today, I often do some foolish things, and it is common to not go to court for ten days and half a month.
For this reason, if you want to control the dynasty and not be fooled by the courtiers, the Son of Heaven must vigorously promote the eunuchs, and over time the eunuch party will become its own.
At present, in the court, there are mainly three waves of forces, the eunuch party, the Donglin party that is-for-tat with the eunuch party, and the princelings who surround the prince.
Among the three forces, the princeling party is the most stable, because everyone knows that the Donglin party can become strong because they are all close ministers of the Son of Heaven when he was the prince.
As long as the prince's status as the prince remains unchanged, after the prince ascends the throne, the Donglin Party's today is the princeling's tomorrow, so their main purpose is to maintain the prince, and it will not easily involve party struggle.
Therefore, the pattern in the court is that the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party are facing each other, and the princelings are sitting firmly in Diaoyutai. Balance the strength of the three parties.
When the eunuch party is strong, the princelings will stand on the side of the Donglin party, and when the Donglin party is strong, the princelings will stand on the side of the eunuch party.
Their duty is to help the weak and stabilize the political situation, and everything is mainly to let the crown prince take over the throne.
"Fu Tianqiu is a member of the Donglin Party, he demoted his official position and returned to his hometown, which must have involved party disputes, either the eunuchs are making a move, or the princelings are falling into the ground. This time, it doesn't look like the eunuch's handiwork, otherwise with the eunuch's character who likes to show off, it is impossible for Liu Xun not to mention it in the letter, could it be that it was the princelings who attacked Fu Tianqiu? ”
Wang Xu thought about it carefully, and soon thought of Pudu Cihang, who wanted to kill him quickly.
You must know that according to Wang Xu's intelligence, Pudu Cihang has no hatred with Fu Tianqiu, why do you want to kill him, could it be that Pudu Cihang is also a princeling.
I remember that in the movie, after Yan Chixia saw through Pudu Cihang's disguise, she once said that Pudu Cihang was hiding in the imperial court in order to confuse the saint and absorb Daning's dragon energy.
In ancient times, the emperor was known as the Ninety-Five, and claimed to be accompanied by dragon energy.
Pudu Cihang sucks the emperor's dragon energy, what will happen to the emperor, it is impossible to be unharmed, if Pudu Cihang is the prince's person, then...
Wang Xu thought of this and muttered, "Could it be that the prince can't wait?" ”
The current crown prince ascended the throne at the age of 16 and has been in charge of the Dragon Court for 46 years, and he is exactly 62 years old this year.
The crown prince is the third son of the emperor, and was born to the queen in the second year of his accession to the throne, that is, he is 17 years younger than the emperor, and the prince's grade should be 45 years old.
Wang Xu sighed, ancient people usually didn't live long, let alone emperors.
The crown prince is only 17 years younger than the emperor, and he was born as the crown prince, and the position of the prince has been done for more than forty years, who can not be in a hurry.
Especially in recent years, the emperor has been getting older, and looking at the crown prince who is praised as wise and martial, what should he think in his heart.
You must know that it is as wise as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Kangxi, who all killed the prince when they were old.
Why, because their crown prince is too small from his own grade.
The emperor is getting old, and he feels powerless about the government, and while he is afraid of death, he is also worried about the usurpation of the crown prince.
If the prince is mediocre, there is still the possibility of being in charge of the Dragon Court, and if the prince is wise and martial, he basically can't escape death and death.
Throughout the ages, unless the emperor is not in good health or has few heirs, few of the first crown princes to be appointed can become emperors.
Even, the longer the emperor lives, the more dangerous the position of the crown prince becomes.
There is no shortage of ministers from the dragon in the world, occupying the position of the prince, and they will naturally win the support of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military.
If the emperor lived a long life, how could he have no idea if he saw these things in his eyes and kept them in his heart.
You must know that before Kowloon seized the throne, Kangxi was not dead, and the crown prince Yinren began to use it according to the Son of Heaven.
In the summer, the treasures of melons and fruits from the south were first sent to the prince's mansion and then to Kangxi, and they were treated as the future emperor, and they began to cram.
Kangxi is not easy to fool, he saw it in his eyes, remembered it in his heart, and after tossing and turning, he finally started to abolish the prince on the grounds of illegal ancestors, disobedience to the discipline, but wanton abuse of the public, and violent and fornication.
Could it be that the crown prince Yinren is really this kind of person, and the mud can't support the wall?
No, Yinren has a good name since he was a child, and he is deeply supported by the Manchu and Han ministers, if he is incorrigible, how can he be established as the prince again after being deposed.
It's a pity that Kangxi is the long-lived emperor, and if he dies in two or three years, Yinren will naturally become the emperor.
The mistake is that Kangxi has a very high lifespan, and after a few years, Kangxi is still alive and well, but now he feels that something is wrong again, so he started the second waste prince and got rid of the prince who posed the greatest threat to him.
This is also the case with Prince Daning, how can he be a prince for more than 40 years, and his beard is really white.
Seeing that the emperor eats well and sleeps, he has the intention of being the emperor for more than ten years, and no one can sit still.
Even if the prince didn't have this mind, the princelings below would not agree.
Everyone is waiting for the dragon's work, the prince's wisdom is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in stark contrast to the mediocre old emperor, now the prince has not been able to ascend the throne for a long time, and the old emperor has other thoughts, what to do, you have to find a way.
"If Pudu Cihang is a member of the princelings, specially used to pave the way for the princelings, all this can be explained. I'll just say, how could such a powerful Daning make Pudu Cihang dance when he smells the chicken, everyone can't see it like a blind and deaf person, it turns out that they are turning a blind eye. Now, Pudu Cihang has confused the old emperor, and there are princelings who cover him, practicing what elixir of immortality for the old emperor all day long, and the old emperor's body is declining, and he won't be able to last long at first glance.
And the people of the Donglin Party were all supported by the old emperor, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the prince's accession to the throne was of course a reuse of the princeling, and they had nothing to do. In order to protect itself, the Donglin Party of course has to fight with Pudu Cihang, to put it bluntly, the struggle between Pudu Cihang and the Donglin Party is the epitome of the struggle between the prince and the old emperor.
It was done, the crown prince ascended the throne, lost, the prince was deposed, and there was no second possibility.
And in the movie, the final victor is the Donglin Party, or the old emperor who stands behind the Donglin Party.
Similarly, it was Fu Tianqiu who exposed the identity of Pudu Cihang, but it was Yan Chixia and Ye Zhiqiu who killed Pudu Cihang.
Who is Yan Chixia, the elder of the Shushan Sword Pavilion, representing the Southern Daomen.
Who is Ye Zhiqiu, an elite disciple of the Kunlun Sect, representing the Kunlun Immortal Dao and the Northern Dao Sect.
Removing the clouds and fog, it may be possible to look at it this way, the princelings used Pudu Cihang to let the old emperor return to the west ahead of schedule. The Donglin Party united with Daomen to deal with Pudu Cihang, and even the princelings who stood behind Pudu Cihang.
The eunuch party didn't seem to do much in this, but he thought of Zuo Qianhu, who was responsible for escorting Fu Tianqiu into Beijing, and finally stood with Yan Chixia and Fu Tianqiu to fight against Pudu Cihang together.
Perhaps, this is the meaning of the eunuch party, after all, Jinyiwei belongs to the jurisdiction of the emperor, of course, the old emperor can't manage it himself, and it is generally done in accordance with the meaning of the head of the celebrant and the eunuch, Jinyiwei and Pudu Cihang broke up, which is likely to represent the break between the eunuch party and the princeling.
In the past, the princelings sat firmly in the Diaoyutai and the eunuchs and the Donglin party fought happily, but now that the princelings have come to power from behind the scenes, the two parties are likely to put aside their prejudices and deal with the princelings together.
In the association of Pudu Cihang, the spells used are biased towards Buddhism, and there are no monks in the first two parts, and it is not until the third part, which is now a hundred years later, that the Baiyun monk mentioned the decline of Buddhism.
It is likely that in this dragon and phoenix fight, Buddhism supported the princelings, and after the defeat of the princelings, Buddhism was implicated, and there was a decline in the next hundred years, and the feelings of the Baiyun monk. ”
"It's really complicated, but with such a string, Pudu Cihang, Daning, Yan Chixia, Buddhism and Taoism, and even the pattern of the world is clear. In the movie, the lawless Pudu Cihang, the chivalrous Yan Chixia, and the loyal Fu Tianqiu actually have another face, behind the chivalrous and righteous, happy and vengeful, what is hidden is the bloody wind of changing the dynasty. ”
Wang Xu used the current facts, combined with the plot in the movie, to connect the entire context.
Before, the pattern of Daning Zhong was in front of him, like a mirror covered with fog.
Now that the fog has dissipated, one is one, two is two, and suddenly people can see it very clearly.
Retracting his thoughts, Wang Xu licked his lips and said softly: "Perhaps, I should meet this Fu Tianqiu, maybe there will be an unexpected gain!" ”
