Recently, I was watching "Shang Yang Fu". As the leading heroine of the TV series, the attitude of "Shang Yang Fu" is very clear: I am fictitious.
But in fact, "Shangyang Fu" has a very strong historical shadow. The main story line of the play "Princess Marries a General" directly applies a real person in Chinese history, and this fission is also a watershed in Chinese history. Without it, our history might be very different.
The world view of "Shangyang Fu" is based on the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties.
The two great clans in the play directly named Wang and Xie, two famous surnames in history.
The gentry had great power in the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties, and the power of individual families was beyond imagination.
The so-called "the king and the horse share the world", the gentry ministers really don't take the emperor as a dish, and it is completely two different styles to be able to spank the minister in court if he is not happy with the Ming and Qing emperors.
If the Western Jin Dynasty was still a "general republic" in which the emperor and the gentry separated power, the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had become a puppet of the gentry.
Sima Rui, the emperor of the Jin and Yuan Dynasty, who led the Eastern Jin Dynasty, called the emperor without any legitimacy. It was the leader of the great family clan who supported him in the upper position, and he took the throne.
After coming to power, Sima Rui immediately appointed Director Wang as Prime Minister, General Hussar, Kaifuyitong Sansi, Wuganghou, Jiaojie, Recording and Shushi, Lingzhong Book Supervisor, Jianlu Shangdian, Cong Xiaohe story... this The style of painting is especially like the set meal that Han Xian Emperor gave Cao Cao back then.
And the ancestor of the director of the king, you must be familiar with it too, it is the hapless Wang Lang who was sprayed to death by the prime minister Zhuge in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Wang Lang's granddaughter is Wang Yuanji. She later married Sima Zhao (the one who knows her heart and passer-by), and she is the first "daughter of the Wang family" in history.
Therefore, in "Shangyang Fu", "the daughter of the Wang clan wins the world" is true in history. The Sima family later married the Langya Wang clan frequently, and indeed there is no shortage of the emperor and the clan chief of the Wang clan marrying sisters. When the scene of "conjugated brother-in-law".
Of course, you may ask, why is Director Wang so stupid, he is here, how cool it is to pull the emperor away and become the emperor.
Didn’t the Cao and Sima both do that?
In fact, Wang Dao was a wise man. He knew that after hundreds of years of management, the erosion of the imperial power system by the gentry had reached its extreme.
At this time, being a puppet emperor with the infamous name of usurping the throne may not be more enjoyable than being a prime minister.
Therefore, Wei and Jin staged two games of usurping the throne of the prime minister, and suddenly stopped here.
Before Wang's death, he left his family instructions, asking his descendants to observe the courtesy.
The family motto of the Wang family is also repeatedly reflected in "Shangyang Fu". Interested friends can listen to it, which is very meaningful.
From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties, an interesting phenomenon appeared-the emperor took turns to sit, but the prime minister had never been only between Wang Xie's family.
Regardless of which surname the emperor became the throne, he needed the support of several great clans. These clans had officials in their dynasties and private properties in localities, and the system gave them the guarantee of being officials for generations.
How can life be so cool.
However, the appearance of an unexpected disruptor interrupted the process.
In 547 AD, the first year of Taiqing in Nanliang, one day Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan had a very strange dream.
He dreamed that the northern homeland that had been occupied by Wuhu for many years suddenly returned to Wanluo. Under the support of a general, he went straight to Wanluo, and the country was reunited. He will be recorded forever in history.
To be fair, this Emperor Wu of Liang was actually quite qualified to have this kind of dream, because he was the founding emperor of Liang.
The Liang Dynasty did occupy a very advantageous position in the pattern of the Northern and Southern Dynasties at that time-the boundary between the Northern and Southern regimes was not the Yangtze River, but the line from the Qinling Mountains to the Huaihe River.
At this time, the once powerful Northern Wei regime in the north had split into Eastern Wei and Western Wei.
Among the three regimes, Liang not only had the largest territory and the most population, but also had the status of Chinese orthodoxy. "The scholar-officials of the Central Plains believed that the Zhengshuo was located" and had a comparative advantage.
Just when Emperor Wu of Liang was talking about this dream to the ministers, someone suddenly reported: Hou Jing, a general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty Henan Road Daxingtai, who had 100,000 soldiers, was willing to rule the land of the thirteen states with him, requesting that the entire land belong to the Liang Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Liang received it.
Hou Jing is the prototype of Xiao Qi, the hero of "Shangyang Fu".
This person can be regarded as a good general in the troubled times. When the Northern Wei Dynasty was split, he led the team as the "investment partner" of Gao Huan, the actual power of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. After the successful entrepreneurship, he was sealed by Gao Huan. Be regarded as a prince.
But this person is at odds with Gao Huan’s elder son Gao Cheng, and publicly threatened: “The king (Gao Huan) is here, I dare not make a difference; Wang Wu, I can’t work with Xianbei children (Gao Cheng)!” Waiting for your father to die , I just jumped back.
How can a lord in the world accommodate such a powerful minister?
So in 547, as soon as Gao Huan died, Hou Jing and Gao Cheng tore apart, but the arm couldn't twist the thigh after all, Hou Jing was struggling to fight, so he sent letters to Xiwei and Nanliang, requesting acceptance.
Hou Jingzhan's land is indeed not small.
Yuwentai, who was in power at the time of the Western Wei Dynasty, was definitely the most prominent generation in Chinese history.
Faced with the temptation of Hou Jing's double win, Yu Wentai made a very calm analysis, thinking that this man was wolfish ambition and should not be taken in.
So he wrote back to Hou Jing and wrote a bunch of bad checks, just not sending troops, Hou Jing can only count on Emperor Wu of Liang.
Emperor Wu of Liang might not know Hou Jing, but his abacus was different from that of Yu Wentai.
In addition to the long-cherished wish of the Southern Dynasty to "recover the Central Plains" mentioned in the previous article, there was another problem that influenced the thinking of Emperor Wu of Liang: He tried to tie Hou Jing as a strong aid, and in turn suppressed the great families of the Liang Dynasty.
From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Nanliang, the Southern Dynasty gentry after two hundred years of development, by the time of Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty, it has become a very outrageous situation. What can't be done, nothing can be eaten, and the court must give them Shi Qing Shilu, Liang Emperor Wu thought that at this time it was indeed necessary to introduce Hou Jing this catfish to stir up the stagnant water of Nanliang.
So he changed the attitude of discussing everything with the gentry and doctors in the past, and categorically issued an order: to make Hou Jing a general, a king of Henan, a military governor from northern and southern Henan, and Daxingtai, and at the same time send all the domestic troops. Go to meet the first King of Liang who has a different surname in history.
Yes, this Hou Jing is the historical archetype of Xiao Qi's title of King Yu Zhang at the beginning of "Shangyang Fu".
It's just that, unlike the heroic martial arts of the hero who killed the king of Hulan in the play, Hou Jing, who was originally good at fighting, has repeatedly lost the title of Henan King.
In "Shangyang Fu", it was after Xiao Qi's contribution to the Dacheng dynasty that the emperor forced an arranged marriage to win him.
But in the real history, it was Hou Jing's proposal after the defeat that triggered more changes.
After the frontline defeat and loss, Hou Jingrui Liang saw Emperor Wu of Liang, please match Wang Xie's daughter-anyway, the king or Xie family, the emperor, you have to arrange a daughter to marry me.
It can be seen that what Hou Jing wanted at the moment was to break into the ruling group of the Southern Dynasties and cling to Wang Xie's family. After that, he would have political capital.
Emperor Wu of Liang simply rejected the king of Henan, who he was pro-appointed. Of course, the emperor could not agree. He wanted to pull you Hou Jinglai to contain the family. Now your soldiers are gone, and you want to form a community of interests with the gentry. ?
How can there be such a beautiful thing.
However, Emperor Wu of Liang did not treat Hou Jing wrongly, and gave him the status of "Murd in Southern Yuzhou", allowing him to guard Shouchun in Jiangbei.
As a result, Hou Jing decisively rebelled in the same year and set off the "Hou Jing Rebellion" named after him.
Xiao Qi in "Shangyang Fu" has only one talent for fighting, but Hou Jing in history was able to engage in such a big battle because he happened to stand at the end of this three-hundred-year "social experiment" in the Southern Dynasty-Imperial Power The people at the bottom have tolerated the game of sharing fat with the nobles.
They gathered under the banner of this "rebellious minister and thieves" and set off a "great revolution" that destroyed the old system.
Under anger and starvation, Emperor Wu of Liang died of illness in the siege. He was 86 years old at the time of his death. He was regarded as the rare emperor of longevity in Chinese history.
Among several forces, the Emperor Ma in "Shangyang Fu" also worked very hard and died miserably.
However, history has shown a little gossip here.
According to historical records, Emperor Wu of Liang had one of his favorite granddaughters: Princess Liyang, who was born with a beautiful country and a good music and dance.
When Hou Jing entered Jiankang City under the banner of "Hanging the People and Defying Crimes", the princess had just finished the ceremony, she was 15 years old.
Yes, this Liyang princess is the prototype of the Princess of Shangyang played by Zhang Ziyi in "Shangyang Fu".
This princess did have a lot of love in her childhood, and then married a different prince who was in charge of military power in the year of Jihua.
The original author of "Shangyang Fu" must be inspired by this gossip, because many details are too similar.
It’s just that there are different opinions on the relationship between the Liyang princess and Henan Wang Hou Jing. There are different opinions in official history and novels: some people say that Hou Jing has coveted the beauty of Liyang Princess for a long time. One of the reasons for the war was to Entering Beijing "armed relatives".
After Emperor Wu of Liang died, Hou Jing immediately found the princess's father, Xiao Gang, the son of Emperor Wu of Liang, and forced him to marry the princess on the condition of supporting him to become emperor.
Of course, this is a typical novelist's words.
According to the official history, Hou Jing, after the death of Emperor Wu of Liang, felt that the usurpation of the throne had not yet arrived, so he established Xiao Gang as Emperor Jianwen, and at the same time stalked the rabbits and laughed at the princess.
In short, unlike "Shangyang Fu", the male and female protagonists went from "arranged marriage" to "free love", the subsequent development of these two stories is very tragic.
Ever since Hou Jing won the princess Liyang, she was seduced by her beauty. He stayed with her all day long. Even the government affairs were delayed, and the hearts of his staff became increasingly separated.
But the nephews of Emperor Liang Wu who had been entrusted in various places at the time saw that the old emperor who had been "extra-long standby" was finally eliminated by Hou Jing's hand, and they changed their original state of waiting and watching and raised troops to "revenge."
Hou Jing was encircled and suppressed by powerful enemies outside, and was rebelled from within, and was quickly suppressed.
After Hou Jing's death, his body was transported to Jiankang, and the gentry's grievances against the spoiler were overwhelmed, and a shocking scene appeared.
According to the "Liangshu" record: "The people fight for food, burn bones and raise ashes. Those who have suffered from the disaster, they drink with ashes and wine." As for the one who once collected thousands of favorites in one, he was beautiful and outstanding. What happened to the princess I saw is not recorded in history or novels.
But it is certain that this princess must have had a bad life later, because the subsequent Southern Dynasties will always be in troubled times.
The Hou Jing's Rebellion completely broke the old political ecology of the Southern Dynasty, and the noble families such as Wang Xie have been in depression since then. This has also become a turning point in China's imperial power and the system of co-ruling by the nobles.
After this campaign, the family members began to decline, and the imperial power became stronger.
China's "Aristocratic Age" has come to an end.
