Nowadays, people are stupid and often do stupid things. It is common for them not to go to court for ten days and a half.
For this reason, if he wanted to control the court and not be fooled by the courtiers, the emperor would vigorously promote eunuchs, and over time the eunuchs would become independent.
Currently, there are three main waves of forces in the court, the eunuch party, the Donglin party who are in tit-for-tat confrontation with the eunuch party, and the princeling party who surround the prince.
Among the three parties, the Princeling Party is the most stable, because everyone knows that the Donglin Party became strong because they were all close ministers of the Emperor when he was the Prince.
As long as the prince's status as prince remains unchanged, after the prince ascends the throne, the Donglin Party's today will be the princeling's tomorrow. Therefore, their main purpose is to protect the prince and will not easily get involved in party disputes.
Therefore, the pattern in the court is that the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party are facing each other head-to-head, and the Princeling Party is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, balancing the strength of the three parties.
When the Eunuch Party becomes stronger, the princelings will side with the Donglin Party. When the Donglin Party becomes stronger, the princelings will side with the Eunuch Party.
Their duty is to help the weak, stabilize the political situation, and focus on allowing the prince to take over the throne.
"Fu Tianchou is a member of the Donglin Party. When he was demoted and returned to his hometown, he must have been involved in party struggles. Either the eunuchs were taking action, or the princelings were adding insult to injury. This time, it doesn't look like the work of the eunuchs, otherwise the eunuchs would
Liu Xun had a personality that liked to show off, so it was impossible for Liu Xun not to mention it in his letter. Could it be that the person who attacked Fu Tianchou was a princeling?"
Wang Xu thought carefully, and soon thought of Pudu Cihang who wanted to kill him quickly from Fu Tianchou.
You know, according to Wang Xu's intelligence, Pudu Cihang has no hatred against Fu Tianchou, so why should he 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 hid in the court in order to confuse the emperor and absorb Daning's dragon energy.
In ancient times, the emperor was known as the Nine-Five Emperor and claimed to have the aura of a dragon accompanying him.
If Pudu Cihang absorbs the emperor's dragon energy, what will happen to the emperor? It's impossible for him to be unscathed. If Pudu Cihang is the prince's man, then...
Wang Xu thought of this and muttered: "Could it be that the prince can't wait any longer?"
The current prince ascended the throne at the age of 16 and has been in charge of Longting for 46 years. He is exactly 62 years old this year.
The prince is the third son of the emperor. He was born by the queen in the second year after he ascended the throne, which means he is 17 years younger than the emperor. The prince's grade should be 45 years old.
Wang Xu sighed, people in ancient times usually did not live long, let alone emperors.
The prince is only 17 years younger than the emperor, and he is a prince from birth. He has held the position of prince for more than 40 years, so who can not be anxious.
Especially in recent years, as the emperor has aged day by day, what should he think in his heart when he looks at the prince who is praised as wise and powerful?
You know, even wise men such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Kangxi of the Tang Dynasty would kill the prince when they were old.
Why, because the grade difference between their prince and himself is too small.
As the emperor grew older, he felt incompetent in government affairs. While he was afraid of death, he was also worried about the prince usurping the throne.
If the prince is mediocre, there is still a possibility of taking charge of the Dragon Court. If the prince is wise and powerful, he will basically not be able to escape death.
Throughout the ages, unless the emperor was in poor health or had few heirs, the first crown prince who was appointed rarely became the emperor.
In fact, the longer the emperor lives, the more dangerous the prince's position becomes.
There is no shortage of ministers who follow the dragon in the world. If you occupy the position of the prince, you will naturally win the support of the civil and military officials of the dynasty.
If the emperor lived a long life and could see these things in his eyes and remember them in his heart, how could he not have any ideas?
You must know that before Jiulong seized the throne, Kangxi was not dead yet, and the expenses of the crown prince Yinreng began to be in accordance with the emperor's.
When summer comes, the melons and fruits that come as tribute from the south are first sent to the Prince's Mansion by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then sent to Kangxi. They treat him as a future emperor and start cramming him in advance.
Kangxi was not easy to fool. After seeing it in his eyes and remembering it in his heart, he finally started to abolish the prince on the grounds that he violated the virtues of the ancestors and did not follow my instructions, but only committed cruelty to the people and violence and lewdness.
Could it be said that Crown Prince Yinfeng is really such a person that mud cannot hold up a wall?
No, Yin Reng had a reputation as a virtuous man since he was a child and was deeply supported by the Manchu and Han ministers. If he was hopeless, how could he be established as a prince for the second time after he was deposed.
It's a pity that Kangxi was a long-lived emperor. If he died in two or three years, Yinreng would naturally become the emperor.
The mistake was that Kangxi had a very long lifespan. A few years later, Kangxi was still alive and fighting well. Now he felt something was wrong again, so he started to kill the prince who threatened him the most.
The same is true for Prince Daning. There is no prince who has been a prince for more than 40 years. His beard has turned gray from waiting.
Seeing that the emperor is eating well and sleeping well, he is very interested in being emperor for another ten years, but no one would be able to sit still.
Even if the prince does not have this intention, the princelings below will not agree.
What everyone is waiting for is Conglong's Gong. The prince's sagacity is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is in sharp contrast with the mediocre old emperor. Now that the prince has been unable to ascend to the throne for a long time, the old emperor has other thoughts. What to do, he has to find a way.
"If Pudu Cihang is a princeling, specially used to pave the way for the princelings, all this can be explained. I said, how can such a powerful Daning make Pudu Cihang dance after hearing the chicken? Everyone is following the blind man.
A deaf person can't see it. It turned out to be a blind eye. Now, Pudu Cihang has confused the old emperor, and has some princelings to cover him. He gives the old emperor some immortality pills all day long, and the old emperor's health is declining.
It looked like it wouldn't last long.
The people of the Donglin Party were all supported by the old emperor. Once the emperor and his courtiers came to power, the prince would of course rely on the princelings when he ascended the throne. They would have nothing to do with them. In order to protect themselves, the Donglin Party of course had 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.
If it works, the prince will be crowned. If he fails, the prince will be deposed. There is no second possibility.
In the movie, the final winner is the Donglin Party, or the old emperor who stands behind the Donglin Party.
Similarly, it was Fu Tianchou who exposed Pudu Cihang's identity, but it was Yan Chixia and Ye Zhiqiu who killed Pudu Cihang.
Who is Yan Chixia, the elder of Shushan Jiange, representing the Southern Dao Sect.
Who is Ye Zhiqiu? He is an elite disciple of the Kunlun Sect and represents the Kunlun Immortal Way and the Northern Taoist Sect.
If you clear up the clouds, you can probably see it like this. The princelings used Pudu Cihang to want the old emperor to return to the west early. The Donglin Party united with the Taoists to deal with Pudu Cihang, and even the princelings who stood behind Pudu Cihang.
The Eunuch Party seemed to have nothing to do here, but thinking about Zuo Qianhu, who was responsible for escorting Fu Tianchou to Beijing, he finally stood with Yan Chixia and Fu Tianchou to fight against Pudu Cihang.
Perhaps, this is what the eunuch party meant. After all, Jinyiwei was under the jurisdiction of the emperor. Of course, the old emperor could not manage it himself. He usually acted according to the wishes of the chief minister of rites. Jinyiwei's break with Pudu Cihang probably meant that
The eunuch party broke with the princeling party.
In the past, the princelings were firmly seated on the Diaoyutai, and the eunuchs and the Donglin Party fought fiercely. Now that the princelings have come to the forefront from behind the scenes, the two parties are likely to put aside their prejudices and deal with the princelings together.
When I think of Pudu Cihang, the spells used tend to be of the Buddhist lineage. There are no monks in the first two parts. It was not until the third part, a hundred years later, that the monk Baiyun mentioned the decline of Buddhism.
It is very likely that in this fight between dragons and phoenixes, Buddhism supported the princelings. After the defeat of the princelings, Buddhism was implicated, which led to its decline in the next hundred years, and the emotion of Monk Baiyun."
"It's really complicated, but with this sequence, Pudu Cihang, Daning, Yan Chixia, the Buddhist and Taoist families, and even the world structure will be clear. In the movie, the lawless Pudu Cihang and the chivalrous and righteous Yan
Chi Xia and Fu Tianchou, who served the country loyally, actually have another face. Behind the chivalrous and righteous, gratifying and grudges, hidden is the bloody storm of changing dynasties. "
Wang Xu used the current facts and combined with the plot in the movie to connect the entire context.
Before, the layout of Daning was like a fogged mirror in front of him.
Now that the fog has dissipated, one is one and two is two, and people can see extremely clearly.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Wang Xu licked his lips and said softly: "Perhaps, I should meet this Fu Tianchou, maybe there will be unexpected gains!"
