Chapter 469 The plot logic that can't be rounded up
The main plot of the drama "Nirvana in Fire" revolves around the male protagonist Mei Changsu.
This man is extraordinary, a figure similar to Zhuge Liang, even more so than Kong Ming. He is known as "Knowing the path of a hero all over the world, bowing his head and there is a plum man on the left of the river".
Back then, Wolong had a Feng Chu who was as famous as himself, and Mei Changsu only had himself, claiming that with his help he could bring peace to the world.
Moreover, such a powerful person is also the leader of the largest force in the world. He has the strongest espionage organization and money bag in the world, and he has many masters under his command.
It can be said that Mei Changsu’s appearance has a great advantage!
But such a powerful figure actually has a complicated life experience. His original name is not Mei Changsu, but Lin Shu.
Lin Shu was the only son of Princess Jinyang of Daliang and Marshal Lin Xie of Red Flame. His uncle was the Emperor of Daliang, the princes were his cousins, and he also had a princess whose family commanded a hundred thousand elite soldiers as his fiancée.
This family is undoubtedly the second generation of top officials in the world, a born winner in life.
Moreover, he is not only a second-generation official, he is also very capable. He has never failed in his career and is the most dazzling young general in Daliang.
However, everything cannot be smooth sailing for everyone.
The same goes for Lin Shu. His father was jealous of Emperor Liang because of his closeness to the second prince. Under the arrangement of the old emperor, several close men took action to harm the Lin family father and son.
The 70,000 Red Flame Army were branded as rebels and were surrounded and killed. Lin's father died and Lin Shu managed to escape, but his appearance was completely ruined and his bones were cut off and made plastic surgery.
From then on, Lin Shu changed his name to Mei Changsu, quietly gathering strength, and prepared to return to the imperial capital to vindicate the unjust case of Chi Yan and vindicate the 70,000 wronged souls of the Lin family and Chi Yan army.
From then on until the ending, whether it is to eliminate the traitors in the court or to assist Prince Jing in seizing the rightful son, it is ultimately the main line of revenge.
…………
At the beginning of the first episode of "Nirvana in Fire", Mei Changsu was having a nightmare, and the unjust case of Chi Yan was mentioned in a subtle way, which immediately hooked the audience.
Oh, there is a story behind this man...
Then it is to show how awesome Langya Pavilion and Jiangzuo Alliance are.
Langya Pavilion can obtain the world's intelligence, knows everything, and knows everything, even the emperor and princes are no exception.
The Jiangzuo League has its own cornucopia of attributes, with countless money and food, and it is also half a talent concentration camp with countless capable people and strangers. Even the prince is eager to get help from the Jiangzuo League.
The prince's heart was moved, and Prince Yu, who was in the midst of a fierce battle for the throne with the prince, also wanted help from the Jiang Zuo Alliance, and even went so far as to invite him in person.
Here I need to talk a little bit about the situation in the Daliang court, especially the situation of seizing the direct descendants.
At present, the main conflict is between the Crown Prince and Prince Yu, both of whom have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The prince occupies the righteous position of the eldest son, but is not very liked by the old emperor. The emperor likes the prince, and at the same time, the harem is assisted by his adoptive mother and queen, but after all, it is not justified. If he wants to ascend to the throne, he must first remove the prince.
As for the old emperor, his heart was more or less partial to King Yu, but his larger mentality was to let his two sons fight each other to balance the situation in the court without affecting the throne that threatened him.
The prince and Prince Yu tried various ways to win over courtiers and the Jiangzuo Alliance, but the old emperor turned a blind eye and even seemed to add fuel to the flames.
To be honest, this plot is a bit ridiculous.
One supervises the world's intelligence, and the other has people and food. Two such powerful organizations can actually be independent of the imperial power and live in the world.
Moreover, the emperor had no other ideas at all, and allowed his two sons who had seized the throne to fight for him. His heart was beyond words.
Of course, although it's a little stretched, it's not that it won't come back round.
For example, the world of "Nirvana in Fire" is not a completely realistic ancient theme. It is a bit more martial arts-oriented, at least it covers a lot of martial arts elements.
Since there are martial arts elements, it is understandable that there are a few excessive Jianghu forces.
It’s just a myth, there’s no need to apply it to the real ancient world.
Moreover, judging from the plot, although the character of the old emperor is said to be cunning and cunning, he is actually an iron fool who is played around with by others from beginning to end.
With a dignified emperor, the heads of the six ministries were almost replaced, and the intelligence agency equivalent to the Jin Yiwei was quietly relieved of its command authority.
Not to mention Chi Yan's unjust case, it is understandable that the emperor was suspicious and jealous, so he killed the cunning rabbit, cooked the lackey, and killed General Zhongliang to reassure himself. There are countless such tragic unjust cases in history.
But to kill a general, you can just kill him alone and confiscate his house. Why should you cut down the 70,000 troops?
If you want to say that you are a unified dynasty with many soldiers and generals, it would make sense to think that the emperor is mentally retarded. However, in the background of the story, Daliang is a divided dynasty with many foreign enemies.
Surrounded by powerful enemies, Wanyan Gou was even smarter than the old emperor when he killed 70,000 elite soldiers.
At least they only killed Yue Fei and left the Yue family's army untouched. They dispersed it to other generals, who were still Zhao Jiumei's good sons and daughters of the Song Dynasty.
So it is easy to understand why the old emperor turned a blind eye to the Jiang Zuo Alliance and sat back and watched his two sons strive to win over each other without doing anything. He had a low IQ.
If Mei Changsu hadn't kept him and personally forced him to serve as a member of the Red Flame Army, he would have died suddenly and passed the throne to Prince Jing.
As for why an emperor who split a dynasty casually killed 70,000 people and still remained emperor for more than ten years, it was nothing wrong.
You can ask the original author and screenwriter...
………
But having said that, if you ignore the logical conflicts of these plots and don't dwell on the flaws in the drama, the viewing experience of "Nirvana in Fire" will be very good.
The props, lines, costumes, scenery, and various other details all give people a very exquisite feeling.
The rhythm of the plot is also very smooth. On the surface, the prince and Prince Yu are competing for Mei Changsu, but in fact, everything behind it is Mei Changsu's plan.
He just wanted to return to the imperial capital for revenge, and he planned and buried chess pieces on the two legitimate princes in advance.
At the same time, the appearance of the old emperor, the heroine, and other courtiers in the imperial capital also enriched the political situation of Daliang Chaotang bit by bit, paving the way for what follows.
Although there are many characters in the two-episode plot and there are several main plot lines and branches, they are numerous but not complicated.
All the characters and plots revolve around Mei Changsu and the old emperor and his son. The audience did not feel that it was obscure and complicated, but instead felt that it was full of useful information and was not delayed.
The next day, the premiere ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" were a full 1.81, which was considered a very high premiere score even among Shanhe dramas.
Douhua's score was only 8.7, which did not meet the pre-expected data, but Shanhe and Kong Sheng were very calm.
"Nirvana in Fire" is a long-running TV series. The plot has just begun and the entire series has not yet unfolded. Initial reviews cannot represent everything. It depends on its stamina...

ps: Please forgive me for being a former historical author. I can’t help complaining about the bugs in the plot of "Nirvana in Fire". It’s a family opinion. Just watch it for fun.
