The Crown Princess of Troubled Times

When I first started studying history, I only learned about the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties from a few words in textbooks. Later, when I read unofficial history, I only saw the poetry and wine of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the weakness of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The chaos of the Five Dynasties is too far away and unimaginable for today's people. Later I learned that the description of the Five Hus in the textbooks was really just the tip of the iceberg. At that time, the Han people, who had always occupied the majority position among the Chinese nation, were almost exterminated. Whether in times of governance or in troubled times, women and children are always the first to be sacrificed. This is inevitable and is an animal instinct determined by the biological chain. It is the instinct of every social animal to sacrifice the weak to preserve vitality. Therefore, in that era, how could women and children who had no ability to protect themselves not be killed or sacrificed? When the Qing soldiers entered the customs, there were three massacres in Jiading and ten days in Yangzhou. How many women died due to humiliation? Killing men is to eliminate the vitality of the race, killing children is to eliminate the inherited power of the race, and killing women is to eliminate the reproductive capacity of the race. Before being slaughtered, women also have a function to satisfy the butchers' desires. How sad. As a Han Chinese, I never thought there was anything wrong with Min Ran's order to kill Hu at that time and place. In those troubled times, only rational madness could protect oneself. Min Ran was just taking revenge for the northern Han people who were almost exterminated, so he destroyed the entire Jie tribe. After Min, there was no Jie tribe in Chinese history. I don't understand why later historians don't have good comments about Min Ran. Is it because of his actions to protect the Han people? This is the so-called "benevolent" thought of Confucianism. They use the historical writings of the peaceful and prosperous times to evaluate the heroes of the troubled times. How can they be objective? Without Min Ran, the fate of the northern Han people at that time being exterminated was inevitable. If it were not for Min Ran to deal with the five barbarians in the north and contain the effective strength of the barbarians, how could the Southern Dynasty be in peace? How can we keep the last fire of the Han people? The destruction of the Han nation during the Five Husbands' Rebellion in China can be described as all-round destruction from spiritual to physical aspects, which was far worse than the harm caused by Japan's invasion of China. Therefore, I have always hated the writing style of the historians of the times. As a group of pedantic scholars, who have the right to criticize the heroes of troubled times? Let's get back to the subject. After talking about my own historical views, let's talk about this book again. What attracts me most about this book is the growth trajectory of several protagonists in the book. The growth of the female protagonist and the male protagonist have their own obvious dividing lines. This is the most gratifying part of the author. The growth of the heroine is based on the death of Xiao Juan. When Xiao Juan was alive, although the heroine was from a humble background, as she said, although she traveled around the world all year round, she did not know the sufferings of the people. Xiao Juan's protection of her was really good. He supported her no matter what she did, and made arrangements for her in advance according to her out-of-the-box personality. Everything was arranged just to let her live as she pleased, so in life, if you can never be truly free and easy alone, behind every seemingly free and easy person there must be someone who silently pays for him. For Lan Xizhi, Xiao Juan is such a existence, so she has been unable to be happy after Xiao Juan's death. The subsequent travel and war made her gradually mature in dealing with people. Before Xiao Juan's death, she was free and easy, which is rare for girls, but also willful. However, several experiences in the north made her aware of the sufferings of the world. The words "I would rather be a peace dog" appear many times in the article. "Don't be a person in troubled times" expresses people's helplessness and fear of the unknown future when facing troubled times. This must be the intention of Lan Xi's Xiaojuan to create a paradise for her before leaving, hoping that this paradise can bring her the final refuge and comfort. Let's talk about Shi Liangyu again. Compared with Zhu Xian, Shi Liangyu's portrayal is more vivid. Zhu Xian is loyal and upright. Even if there is no promise to treat Lan Xizhi like a sister, I am afraid he will not turn his heart into action. I think Xiao Juan asked him to make such a promise in order to find a trustworthy protector for Lan Xizhi after his death. In fact, I think Lan Xizhi almost died on hunger strike after Xiao Juan's death. The queen's death can be regarded as the end of a relationship. After that, anyone has the right to pursue her, not to mention that Xiao Juan did not bind her with the title of queen in order to make her beloved live a better life. However, the loyal and upright Zhu Xian gave up the advantage of being close to the water because of his beliefs. His character determined that he could not hold hands with Lan Xizhi in the end, and also determined the fate of his third male lead. Therefore, compared to Zhu Xian, Shi Liangyu's change is very powerful. The author puts the turning point of family destruction and death on Shi Liangyu. From his courage to escape from his hometown and the two weak sons to go to the Hu people's territory, it can be seen that this person is by no means a creature in the pond. The maturity of Shi Liangyu's feelings for Lan Xizhi can be determined before and after he forcibly married Lan Xi. Before that, his admiration for Lan Xi was due to his past worship and Lan's reliance on his care in times of crisis. Before that, his feelings for Lan always hoped to find care and compassion in her eyes, but, you know, lovers The relationship is to rely on each other rather than pity, so Shi Liangyu's feelings before that were very selfish. He simply hoped to get all the care and compassion from Lan Xizhi, and because of the fear of being alone for a long time, he forced Lan Xizhi to stay again and again, which led to his successive losses. After the forced marriage, he gradually woke up because of Lan Xizhi's words. He knew that true love means being happy when the other person is happy. He finally understood how Xiao Juan loved Lan Xizhi. This can be said to be a great progress in his relationship. From ancient times to the present, no emperor would allow his canonized queen to stay away from him and create conditions for her to leave. Lan Xizhi's final fall was precisely because of Shi Liangyu's well-intentioned efforts.

I like the delicate and continuous love of Xiao Juan; I also like the domineering love of the fruit man, which is really painful and happy at the same time.

Score again for Fruit Man. Shi Liangyu here is a living person, not a god transformed by YY novels. He also has weaknesses and shortcomings, but fortunately, I am still moved by him.

After reading it many years later, I think this novel is too classic.

This is the third time I've watched it, and I'm fascinated every time. I also feel as if Zhu Yu and Jun Yu are together. I quite like it.

I don't know why, but when I saw Lan Xizhi and Shi Liangyu getting together in the ending, I actually had the feeling that Zhu Yu and Jun Yu were finally together. Why would I regard the Princess in Troubled Times as a descendant of Fengcheng Fei Shuai?

I don't seem to dislike the male protagonist very much →_→ even though he has been subbed many times. The writing is great. I like the author's writing style. I'll go read some other novels. Come on.

I personally don't like the story very much. I don't like Lan Xizhi very much. I don't know why everyone is so cold about this heroine. Isn't she just a little girl with good martial arts skills and likes to make trouble... I don't feel much about the other characters. It's a bit confusing at first. I don't like the male protagonist, he has too little aura, and after writing a lot of articles, I still haven't figured out who the male protagonist is. Even after it was finished, many people still misunderstood who the male protagonist was (I only found out after reading the author's postscript). The background of the article is the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which I like very much, but the author's writing made me feel very indifferent, and I couldn't feel the unrestrained style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Everyone should watch "Phoenix Prisoner".

I haven't read the article, but the heroine's name reminds me of Wang Xizhi

Very satisfied. Very well written. In the troubled times like the Northern and Southern Dynasties, men like Shi Liangyu had a lot of political desires at the beginning, but later they would understand that being with their lovers and relatives was the most important thing. What great achievements and fame, in the end, everything is just a white-haired fisherman and a woodcutter, talking and laughing on the river. Really like this ending. Maybe Shi Liangyu and Lan Xizhi will only have a rough life in the future, but what is certain is that it will be very warm. Ordinaryness is a blessing. The world fought fiercely, but little did they know that in the end, the mighty Caesar also turned into a pile of dust.
