readx; Now let's briefly talk about some of the characters in Journey to the West, the implicit content is quite rich. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the second episode of Journey to the West, Wukong returned from his studies, and when he knew that he was not there from the mouth of the little monkey, a demon king of the mixed world came to make trouble and captured a few monkeys.

The place where this demon king of the mixed world lives is a dirty cave in Kanyuan Mountain, and he doesn't have much ability, but he is also quite moral. And this demon king is a reflection of the water conservancy engineer Jia Lu at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Jia Lu, 1297-1353, the name Youheng, in 1343 the Yuan Dynasty recruited him to repair the history of the Song Dynasty, and later served as the capital water supervisor. In 1351, Jia Lu was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the chief envoy of the river defense, responsible for the management of the Yellow River.

In 1352, he was promoted to Zhongshu Zuocheng, and was sent to Haozhou to crusade against Guo Zixing together with Yuege Cha'er, when Zhu Yuanzhang was still Guo Zixing's subordinate and son-in-law. After besieging the city for many days, in 1353, the army died of illness in the fifth lunar month, and it is estimated that Jialu's deputy Yue Ge Chaer was a fool, and he saw that the siege of the city for a long time was unsuccessful, so he also withdrew. The history of the Ming Dynasty also recorded, "In the winter of the twelfth year of (Zhizheng), the Yuan general Jia Lu besieged Hao, and Taizu and Zi Xingli rejected it. In the spring of the thirteenth year, Jia Lu died, and the siege was solved. ”

Then this Jia Lu is actually a good person, who has done great things for the people on both sides of the Yellow River. The people were very grateful to him, and renamed the Bianhe River in Henan to Jialu River (also known as Xiaohuanghe), and even named Jialu's place of work Jialuhe Village. In Shandong, he is also remembered by people who also refer to a local river as the Jialu River.

Maybe Lao Wu also has some sympathy for this Jia Lu and has a lot of prejudices, this is the reason why the demon king of the mixed world is in a dirty hole, fighting with Sun Wukong, and finding that the monkey has no weapons, he also fought with him with his bare hands, but in the end he was destroyed by the great sage.

In the third episode of Journey to the West, Wukong sealed Marshal Ma Liu and Bangba Warriors, which should be an allusion to Xu Da, Tang He, Chang Yuchun, and Deng Yu. By the twenty-eighth time, Wukong was driven back to Huaguo Mountain by Tang Seng for the first time, and the four marshals had already changed a little. "Bangba" was changed to "Benba", because Chang Yuchun had died early (he didn't have time to wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to build a temple of meritorious heroes), and he was replaced by his son Chang Mao. Later, the monkey returned to Huaguo Mountain for the second time, because Wukong had also changed the mapping object to Zhu Qiyu, so Ma Liubangba didn't mention it at all, and the generals at that time were not half a star different from Xu Da.

Or in the third time, the monkey made 6 sworn brothers, which at that time reflected Fang Guozhen, Chen Youliang and other anti-kings in the north and south of the Yangtze River at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Of course, except for Fang Guozhen, these people were killed by others, including Zhu Yuanzhang. Only Fang Guozhen later surrendered to Lao Zhu, and later died of illness. So in Journey to the West, only the Bull Demon King appeared later, but when he changed, Lao Wu implied Xu Youzhen.

The first time Wukong went to heaven was actually that Zhu Yuanzhang was once recruited by the Yuan Dynasty, and later rebelled. Therefore, the two havoc in the Heavenly Palace refers to the fact that Lao Zhu overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty and continued to expel the Mongols.

The sixth chapter of Journey to the West, Erlang God, must be an allusion to Zhang Shicheng, Zhang Shicheng, 1321-1367, was a relatively early anti-Yuan pioneer in Jiangnan. He played a great role in the battle against the Yuan army. He and his younger brother Zhang Shiyi, Zhang Shide, Zhang Shixin and Li Bosheng and other eighteen smuggling salt dealers rose up, known in history as the "Eighteen Biandan Uprising", Ming history records, "according to Gaoyou, self-proclaimed King Cheng, usurped the name of the Great Zhou, Jianyuan Tianyou." It is the thirteenth year of the year (1553). In other words, he is older than Zhu Yuanzhang's qualifications.

It was also in the seventh lunar month of 1553 that there was a great drought in Chuzhou, and Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious. I heard the locals say that there is a dragon temple in Yanggu Baizitan in Fengshan in the southwest, you can pray to the heavens, if there are fish jumping or Wang Ba surfacing the water, it is likely to rain. Zhu Yuanzhang happily went, stood there and watched for a long time, but did not see any movement on the water, so he said, the people have built an ancestral hall for you to worship, but you don't understand the people's feelings. If it doesn't rain again, the temple will be demolished. After speaking, Lao Zhu also shot three arrows at the sky in a row. I don't want to rain heavily in three days, and the drought will be resolved. Zhu Yuanzhang braved the rain to express his gratitude, and Chuzhou had a bumper harvest that year. Perhaps this story corresponds to the forty-fifth episode of Journey to the West, when the monkey raised a stick in Chechi Country, and the Dragon King and others hurried to give rain.

In 1354, the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty led 600,000 troops, known as one million troops, to attack Gaoyou, the army and the people worked together, and Zhang Shicheng held on. Fortunately, due to the infighting in the Yuan Dynasty, Totokh was replaced, and Zhang Shicheng led the army to break through successfully.

Of course, Zhang Shicheng was also the same as Zhu Yuanzhang, first pretending to defect to the Yuan Dynasty, and then took the opportunity to continue to rebel, and the momentum became bigger and bigger, and he established himself as the king of Wu in 1363.

In 1366, Zhu Yuanzhang was full-fledged, so he sent Xu Da Chang Yuchun to attack Zhang Shicheng. Zhang Shicheng and his subordinates were also confused by the previous victory, and began to eat, drink and have fun without thinking of making progress, and as a result, they were defeated everywhere. In the end, after struggling to support in Pingjiang (Suzhou) for eleven months, Zhu Yuanzhang sent reinforcements again, and finally broke the city and captured Zhang Shicheng.

In 1367, Zhang Shicheng refused to surrender, and as a result, he hanged himself (or was whipped to death by Zhu Yuanzhang, because Zhang Shicheng had already been taken prisoner, so there was definitely no chance to hang himself, unless Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to commit suicide), and the old Zhu was buried in a coffin.

Not to mention, just from the perspective of sticking to Gaoyou and the protracted battle on the Pingjiang River, Zhang Shicheng is indeed very popular with the local people. The people of Suzhou in the Ming and Qing dynasties did not forget this character, and always used various secret ways to commemorate Zhang Shicheng.

Ming Shi commented, "Shi Cheng is a person, he is slow and silent, he seems to have a measure, but there is no long-term plan." According to Wuzhong, Wu Chengping has been peaceful for a long time, and his household registration is prosperous, and Shicheng is gradually indulged in extravagance and neglects political affairs. "It's a bit demeaning and not objective and fair enough, but most of these descriptions are quoted from the actual records of Ming Taizu, and it is understandable.

The history of the Ming Dynasty also recorded a detail, when Zhang Shicheng was besieged in Pingjiang, he said to his wife Liu, I am about to be defeated and die, what should you do? Liu replied, "You don't have to worry, and your concubine will live up to you." ”

When the city was broken, Liu led other female dependents to let his adopted son Chenbao set fire to his promise. Zhang Shicheng has two children, and his wife Liu gave his wet nurse some silver to help him escape, and he should have been protected by the people of Suzhou, and finally his whereabouts are unknown.

This also indirectly shows that the attitude of the people responsible for compiling the history of the Ming Dynasty towards Zhang Shicheng is also complicated.

Lao Wu respects him very much and regrets it. In Journey to the West, Erlang God and Sun Wukong are outside the Bibo Pond, drinking and talking, and the elder brother is short. At this time, Erlang God combined the heroic feelings of Zhang Shicheng and Yu Qian, although it was only one night, but this scene was deeply touching.

Not only Lao Wu is like this, but even Shi Nai'an and Luo Guanzhong are even more so. Although Zhang Shicheng has many shortcomings, Liu Bei in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and Song Jiang in "Water Margin" all reflect Zhang Shicheng's soul.

In the ninth chapter of Journey to the West, the unlucky Dragon King of the Jinghe River is obviously a reflection of Hu Weiyong and others, and Yuan Shoucheng naturally alludes to Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang, from 1314 to 1390, was Zhu Yuanzhang's greatest literary hero, equivalent to Xiao He of Han Gaozu.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he served as the prime minister of Zuo, first sealed the Duke of Xuanguo, and then crowned the Duke of Korea, with 4,000 stones per year, which was more than ten times that of Liu Bowen (Liu Ji's Yulu was only 240 stones, and even Wang Guangyang was 360 stones).

In 1390, he was implicated in the Hu Weiyong case and was executed by Zhu Yuanzhang along with more than 70 of his wife, daughters, brothers and nephews (of course, Lao Zhu also wanted to kill him).

In fact, Li Shanchang is very wronged, but he is not wronged. Originally, Li Shanchang had been strictly ordered to retire before, but Lao Li thought too much, and he also followed Xiao He's example, planning to show Zhu Yuanzhang the illusion of being greedy for money and having no ambitions, so as to calm Lao Zhu's murderous intentions. But Zhu Yuanzhang is not Liu Bang, this trick is useless, on the contrary, Lao Zhu saw through his intentions, but strengthened his determination to eradicate Li Shanchang.

The history of the Ming Dynasty has a lot of criticism for him, saying that he is generous on the outside and evil on the inside. often suppresses opponents and goes toe-to-toe with Liu Ji. I like money and enjoy it luxuriously. Before he died, he planned to build a manor and asked Tang He for help and asked him to sponsor 300 soldiers, but Tang He told Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, a minister reported that Li Shanchang knew Hu Weiyong's rebellion but did not report it, and his family was also involved, so Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Lao Li to be executed.

The content quoted in the history of the Ming Dynasty is quite absurd and full of loopholes, which is really unconvincing. But I also said that many people see Li Shanchang's merits, and many people still plead for him. Lao Wu and Li Chunfang's attitudes towards him are very complicated, with mixed reviews, but they also feel that the crime is not to death.

Hu Weiyong, don't say much, just be a smart villain.

is also the ninth chapter, the two woodcutters and fishermen in the opening chapter are a little suspicious, and they can't judge what characters they are referring to.

In the thirteenth chapter of Journey to the West, Tang Seng encountered three monsters, General Yin, Xiong Shanjun and Special Sergeant. may be Fu Youde (General Yin Fengzi Shengchang), Feng Sheng (Wei Shou Su'er), Lan Yu (Wei Shi Er), they are also Zhu Yuanzhang's founding merits, and they have made great contributions to war horses, all of which were successively eliminated by Lao Zhu in 1393-1395. These three people were all unjustly killed, among which Lan Yu was charged with rebellion, and the cause of death of the other two is unknown in the official history.

Liu Boqin, the Orion under Wuzhi Mountain, is obviously Liu Ji and Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen, 1311-1375, was named Chengyi Bobo in 1370, second only to Wang Guangyang among the earls. Zhu Yuanzhang called it Zhang Liang Zhang Zifang, and later generations thought that he could compete with Zhuge Liang, which was quite exaggerated.

Liu Bowen is too thoughtful and cautious in thinking about things, but Zhu Yuanzhang is a "Monkey King" who is "affectionate and righteous". Therefore, Lao Zhu was very dissatisfied with him, and he looked at Liu Bowen very complicatedly.

Liu Bowen and Zhu Yuanzhang are both smart people, and they know each other too well, but Lao Zhu has the initiative, so Liu Bowen has to be a pawn and a victim of the struggle (either died of depression or was murdered to death by ********).

The history of the Ming Dynasty spoke highly of Liu Bowen, "Generosity has great festivals, on the safety of the world, and righteousness is in color." In case of emergency, courage and hard work, the plan is determined, and people can not be fathomed. In his spare time, he applied Chen Wangdao. The article is prosperous and strange, and Song Lian is the sect of a generation".

Lao Wu arranged it (Liu Boqin) in the Liangjie Mountain as the Orion Town Mountain Taibao, and his intentions were clearly revealed, that is, he thought that Liu Bowen was the patron saint of the Ming Dynasty, but it was actually exaggerated by the author's subjective preference.

Elder Jin Chi and Black Bear Essence have already said before, and they reflect Yao Guangxiao as a whole. is also an amazing character, to a large extent, not much different from Liu Bowen.

In the twenty-seventh chapter of Journey to the West, who is that white bone corpse demon? The biggest suspect is Guo Guifei of Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi. In 1425, Akihito died and was buried in a total of 5 people, including the Guo family. What is quite suspicious is that she gave birth to three sons to the emperor, and she should not be buried in any reason.

There are very few records about Guo, and we cannot study them in detail. There are only two suspicions, first of all, Guo is the most favored by Zhu Gaochi and is hated by the empress;

The gold and silver boy and a group of fox spirits in the thirty-second chapter of Journey to the West are very suspicious of alluding to Zhu Zhanji's reign, when corruption became common in the court. The two kings of gold and silver horns, the characters reflected are likely to refer to Liu Guan and his son. The Seven Kings of the Fox, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and other little foxes are not very clear.

Liu Guan is an old minister of the Five Dynasties. Hongwu was born in the eighteenth year of Jinshi, the first to be Taigu County, and in Zhu Zhanji's Xuande period, he was the imperial history of Zuodu, that is, the largest official who supervised law enforcement.

Zhu Zhanji had not yet swept the official Huang at this time, so many ministers usually had to look for Yingge and Yan to help the fun when they gathered. This Liu Guan is the most powerful, he is insatiable in receiving gifts, and he plays a "model" leading role.

In the third year of Xuande, Ming Xuanzong asked the auxiliary ministers, "When my ancestors were in power, the ministers were quite honest, how did they become so corrupt now?" Yang Shiqi said, "In fact, it started as early as the last year of Yongle, and now it is even more unscrupulous." Yang Rong said, "During the Yongle period, there were no more corrupt and degenerate people than Fang Bin. The emperor asked, "Who is the worst today?" Rong said, "Liu Guan." He also asked, "Who can be replaced?" Shi Qi and Gu Zuo, the political envoy of Rong.

Zhu Zhanji sent Liu Guan out to inspect the river and appointed the virtuous minister Gu Zuo as the imperial history of the right capital. So Yushi Zhang Xunli and others understood, and they participated in the impeachment of Liu Guan and his son Liu Hui for many corrupt and illegal things.

The emperor was furious and ordered Liu Guan and his son to be arrested. At that time, the country was still not very rich, and this Liu Guan probably collected at least a thousand taels of silver, and the income each time was "only" about five taels of silver.

Zhu Zhan basically planned to execute him, but Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong pleaded to avoid death. As a result, Liu Hui was finally sent to Liaodong, and Liu Guan was asked to go with him, and Liu Guan died in another country.

Four years later, Yang Shiqi sent an investigation team to investigate, and once again wrote to Zhu Zhanji about the current corruption situation. The emperor looked at it and said, "Well, yes, if Liu Guan had not been dismissed before, how could Fengxian be so clear now." "Zhu Zhanji is blindly optimistic, his grandfather Zhu Di and even his great-grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang don't dare to say such big words.

By the way, let's talk more about Xu Youzhen, which has already been mentioned earlier.

Xu Youzhen was born in 1433, originally called Xu Hui, Ming history records, "short and concise, more wise, happy and famous." All the books of heavenly officials, geography, the art of war, water conservancy, and yin and yang magic are all well understood."

In 1442, he gave Zhu Qizhen part of the book "Martial Arts Collection", which was a very well-written proposal for the use of troops in the imperial court.

After the change of Tumubao in 1449, Xu Hui suggested that the capital be moved, "the astrological signs, the calendar of the calendar, the mandate of heaven has gone, but moving south can alleviate the difficulties." ”

The eunuch Jin Ying severely reprimanded, and Hu Hui, Chen Xun and others also thought it was impossible. Yu Qian said, "Those who move south can be killed." Xu Hui didn't dare to say any more.

Then Xu Hui's suggestion can't be said to be completely unreasonable, but the situation at that time did not allow it, in fact, there were quite a few people who agreed with his statement, but Ming Shi will not go into details.

Xu Hui knew that he was in trouble, so he befriended Chen Xun, a cabinet minister, and Yu Qian, a secretary of the military department, hoping to give the emperor a few good words, and he wanted to be an official who supervised the wine of the country. Once he gave Chen Xun a jade belt and prophesied, "The public belt will be jade." Sure enough, within a few days, Chen Xun was promoted to Shaobao.

Yu Qian also thought that he was a capable person, and did not underestimate him because of his remarks, so he recommended him to the emperor. As soon as Zhu Qiyu heard this, he said, "This proposal to move south to Xu Hui is evil, and it will be dangerous for others, and it will destroy the mental skills of all living beings." ”

Chen Xun persuaded Xu Hui, and later changed his name to Xu Youzhen.

In 1452, a section of the Yellow River broke in Shawan, and many people could not manage it well for 7 years. The ministers later unanimously recommended Xu Youzhen to govern the river.

Xu Youzhen is still a genius in this regard, so he also tinkered with it. Because of this, I made the left deputy capital imperial history.

Later, it was the story of Nangong's restoration and framing of Yu Qian, and our ears were calloused.

Later, Xu Youzhen was framed by Shi Heng Cao Jixiang, saying that Xu Youzhen complained a lot about the emperor, and his disciple Ma Shiquan helped to make a monk or something.

Zhu Qizhen arrested Xu Youzhen back, and that Ma Shiquan was also imprisoned, but after checking and checking, it was not as good as Shi Heng said. So Zhu Qizhen was still good to him, so he spared his life and reprimanded him to a place called Golden Tooth.

When he was released from prison, Xu Youzhen patted Ma Shiquan on the back and said, "You, what a benevolent and righteous person, I plan to return to Beijing in the future and marry one of my daughters to you." ”

After Xu Youzhen returned to the capital, that Ma Shiquan went to serve him again. But Xu Youzhen never mentioned his promise again, and after a long time, Ma Shiquan was helpless, so he couldn't stay. Since then, he has not mentioned this matter to others, so everyone despises Xu Youzhen even more.

Xu Youzhen later wanted to be enabled by the emperor again, but never got his wish. In frustration, he let go of the mountains and rivers, devoted himself to poetry, and got a good death.

During the Ming Dynasty, many literati liked cursive, and Xu Youzhen was no exception.

In short, Xu Youzhen was unlucky because her self-interest was too heavy. If there had been no talk of moving the capital in 1449, this person would undoubtedly have developed greater, and perhaps he would have been famous for eternity, which is a pity.

I can't figure out what kind of characters a few dryads reflect in the sixty-fourth chapter of Journey to the West, but I only know that it was in the period of Zhu Youji. But at that time, to be honest, there were few famous auxiliary ministers, so they would no longer argue in detail.

In the ninety-seventh chapter of Journey to the West, the assassin Jiang Kunsan clearly reflects the Yunnan Provincial Supervision Imperial History Yang Keli, who participated in the impeachment of Zhang Juzheng during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and even the uncle Jiang Qianyi of the assassin is Yang Keli's father Yang Jie (who was an official of Zhizhou and was given the title of Wenlin Lang). In September of the 11th year of Wanli, Yang Keli said that the late university scholar Zhang Juzheng hid the land of the abandoned Liao Mansion and begged for strict investigation. Emperor Zhu Lingjun once praised Yang Keli, "Loyal to his words, picking up his hair and rape, meritorious in Jingtang, not promoted", this "big rape" refers to Zhang Juzheng, and Yang Keli was also crowned as Shangbaosi Shaoqing.

However, Yang Keli was also unlucky later, in April of the thirteenth year of Wanli, he was impeached by Zhou Hongzu, the secretary of Guanglu Temple in Nanjing, saying that he was chasing after the wind and shadows and indiscriminately participating in the so-called "traitorous party". At this time, Zhu Lingjun still didn't blame Yang Keli. However, there were still people who participated in the impeachment, and Yang Keli had to go to the local government to become a seven-grade petty official under the care of the official department Shangshu (Zhao Xian, the two are fellow villagers), responsible for criminal judgment and maintaining law and order.

Ming Shi commented on Yang Keli with his thoughts, "The wind is self-promising, overbearing, high-spirited, resisting the crowd, and the deeds are not contrary to the right." And the quality is not disputed, and the group is not the righteousness of the party, and it cannot be without guilt. 'The ancients are also incorruptible, and the present is also angry', and the saint's actions are indignant at the benefits and declines of the last days", first praised the integrity and uprightness, but also pointed out that his approach was a bit excessive.

Next, let's talk about the titles of each book of Journey to the West. We found out that there were eight characters, ten characters, fourteen characters, and sixteen characters, making a total of four. If you have time in the future, I'll study it slowly. Now I can only suspect that it is a kind of classification, just like the "Yuan History" only has the book, the chronicles, the table, and the biography, and there are four kinds of coincidental ones, indicating that Lao Wu is likely to have borrowed the writing method of the history book. Especially the eight characters of the eye, the first time it appeared, "the heart ape returned to the right six thieves without a trace", the protagonists in it are only monkeys and Tang monks, and the jade dragon and eight precepts sand monks have not yet been converted; the second time it appears, "the girl seeks the protection of the Yang Yuan God", the main content is that the Tang monk Sun Wukong tossed in the bottomless pit; the last and last book "The Five Sages of the Straight Back to the East Earth Come to Fruition", although the five characters are complete, but only the great sage and the holy monk have become Buddhas.

Therefore, the review of Journey to the West is not simple at all, it is definitely not written by the author on a whim, there must be a saying in it, there are its naming rules, and there should be a hidden description of the order of the content of the whole book. After cracking this secret, it will be much easier to watch Journey to the West again. But if you really want to analyze it carefully, the combination relationship is too complicated, and it is a big job.

If you want to know the finale of Journey to the West, please listen to the last nonsense.
