1. First of all, regarding King Laiyang, King Laiyang should have no military power. Lu Yuan was the general of Changlin Zuoying. He was the highest military officer in the two eleven prefectures of Ganmian. King Laiyang only had his fiefdom in Lu Yuan's jurisdiction. The military and political affairs of Daliang were separated. It was more reasonable for King Laiyang to collude with Lu Yuan as a prince without military power. If he had military power, there would be no suitable position for him. Secondly, the nature of the collusion with Lu Yuan would have changed. Therefore, King Laiyang was just a noble prince with no influence in the court (Jingyan hated party strife). For King Laiyang, his father was strict and his mother was doting. His brother was not only kind and cowardly, but also frail and sickly. He typically had this mentality of having sex with me. 2. Regarding Xiao Xin, an excellent king does not need excessive force and military literacy. He only needs to be able to know people well and appoint them well, and open up a wide range of opinions. Jingyan is strict, but he only has requirements for character and ability. Xiao Xin's personality is at best unpleasant (in contrast to King Laiyang, Queen Liu loves King Laiyang partly because he is the youngest son, and on the other hand, King Laiyang's character should be more lovable). As the prince, Xiao Xin only needs to learn how to manage politics and does not need to go to the military. Moreover, he is not in good health and has King Changlin to help him in the military.
In fact, Concubine Shu and Mrs. Laiyang are not very smart people. One: Concubine Shu was the beloved concubine at the time, and Mrs. Laiyang was her sister. They married together, so that Concubine Shu could give birth to the child safely. Yuan Qi and the child were naturally related to each other. With the same father and mother, there was a lot of room for maneuver in the future. Second: Concubine Shu found out about Mrs. Laiyang and dared to keep her by her side when she was giving birth. This was very fatal.
In fact, I have some thoughts about Mrs. Han: when she was educating her son, she said, "If the body is not upright and the mind is not pure, then power and wealth will be like clouds and smoke. You should take him as a warning in this life. No matter what the situation is, never forget the good thoughts in your heart." So I feel that she must have her own thoughts in her heart. The reason why there are not many stories is probably because she has really seen through those "clouds and smoke".
Pu Yangying is the elder brother. Chapter 41 of the book mentions that his younger brother's name is Puyang Yi. In fact, if we are more rigorous, he should have used his younger brother's name in disguise. Pu Yangying is a simple avenger. His purpose is to disrupt the situation in the Liang Dynasty. Judging from the results alone, he succeeded.
I also want to give some insights to the Queen Mother. I have always felt that Li Yang was the biological daughter of the Queen Mother. There were only two sisters of Emperor Liang's generation. Jin Yang was able to marry Emperor Liang's confidant Lin Shuai. She was most likely the same mother as Emperor Liang. And Li Yang, who was able to marry Xie Yu after losing her virginity as a hostage from the Chu Kingdom, must have a background. Background inference about Liyang: 1) When she was unmarried, she was "peach blossom horse, pomegranate skirt, flying and sassy, and her sex is like fire." Being able to develop this kind of character shows that Liyang was very favored as a child. Look at Emperor Liang's Princess Jingning, the emperor's own daughter, who was also favored, but she was still favored. You have to be careful, and even if you sympathize with Yeyouting, you will be reprimanded for being a guilty slave; Emperor Liang ascended the throne early, and it is impossible for Liyang to live so freely as the emperor's sister without a backer. Her backer is most likely the Queen Mother and the aunt of Emperor Liang! That is to say, the direct princess can be so chic and develop such a willful character. 2) From the perspective of Langya List, including Fengqi Changlin, under the background of that time, it was common for the daughters of royal families in various countries to marry each other. Princesses could only marry princes of the same status. They could not be side concubines, but could only be principal concubines (except the prince). Princess Liyang was in love with Nanchu Proton and was pregnant. According to the article, Nanchu Proprie "escaped" at that time, which shows that he was the wrong party. If Daliang used this as an excuse to pressure Nanchu, it would not be mentioned how many political benefits it would bring. It is okay to think of Liyang. Anyway, Liyang liked her, and she would not be treated poorly if she married him and became the prince's concubine. So why did the Queen Mother stop it and keep this secret secret? 3) It would make sense if Li Yang was the Queen Mother's biological daughter. Marriage from various countries is the destiny of princesses. Liyang already has a child and is still in love with Nanchu. What a good candidate for marriage. If the Queen Mother and Liyang are not related by blood, she is so full that she uses aphrodisiac and other despicable means to give Liyang to Xie Yu? And what about Xie Yu at that time? A capable, good-looking, heir to the hereditary Xie family, such a high-quality son-in-law, even if he shows that he likes Li Yang, would take over a woman who has his own heart and is pregnant with a child... Most men would not be happy. The Queen Mother's cooperation with Xie Yu was actually risky. If she didn't really love her, she could have found a good official to marry off Li Yang to cover up the scandal of the princess's loss of virginity. The risk was much smaller than looking for a descendant of the Hou family. But the Queen Mother not only kept Li Yang from marrying, but also found her a husband who was from a well-known family and was willing to marry her (the Queen Mother would not have predicted Xie Yu's ambition at that time), which can be said to be well-intentioned. 4) As for Li Yang, because she got married over a glass of wine, her reputation and her wealthy life in the future were saved. If she gave up love and broke up Jing Rui's Anxin and Xie Yu's life, she thought life would be smooth in the future, but what if she couldn't let go? 5) Another point that shows the difficulty of the Queen Mother, "In addition, the Queen Mother has always disapproved of letting the princesses stay in the husband's family and not enjoy the happiness of family, so Princess Liyang moved to Ningguo Hou Mansion after her marriage. "Get along with your parents-in-law according to family etiquette." - Before the Queen Mother passed away, she let Princess Liyang live in the Marquis Mansion of Ningguo. Even if she was not a biological mother and daughter, could a Queen Mother let the princess serve her mother-in-law in the morning and evening for the sake of her daughter-in-law? She is already a member of the royal family, why would she come forward to lower her status as a royal princess? ——The answer is wrong! Xie Yu is willing to take over Liyang and openly agrees to Jingrui's birth, but are his parents willing for their son to marry a wife who is committed and can play football? Do they want their direct grandson's position to be occupied by a bastard? Xie is a hereditary marquis! Anyone with a brain knows it's impossible! So at this time, Mr. Xie and his wife must not have known that the first child in Liyang's pregnancy was not Xie Yu's. The Queen Mother ordered Liyang to treat Xie Yu's parents with family gifts. The princess served her mother-in-law to express her attitude to Xie Yu. In the same way, Xie Yu's parents will definitely be happy that the princess' daughter-in-law is so filial and peaceful, and they will not take the initiative to stir up suspicion. 6) Where is Liyang? Breaking up with the Queen Mother and not entering the palace after marriage must be such a shameful thing for a mother and daughter. If she was a concubine, the emperor would treat the matter of Liyang and the Nanchu hostage as a political plan, so why would the Queen Mother bother with it. Now, with wine, consolation and an arranged successor, Li Yang refused to abort the child. If Xie Yu didn't find a killer, it would be like giving a bastard to the Xie family to occupy the position of heir apparent. What benefit would it have to the Queen Mother herself? 7) In summary, the Queen Mother has worked hard to create a smooth and wealthy living environment for Li Yang. No matter how villainous Xie Yu is, he is worthy of Li Yang in the early stage. (We don't know if he married Li Yang because he had a secret deal with the Queen Mother, but he is indeed willing to take over because he likes Li Yang, even if he wants to kill Jingrui... Does Xie Yu deserve to leave his position as the eldest son and hereditary heir to the Ningguo Marquis Mansion to the descendants of the Chu people?) A little digression: In the article, the Nanchu envoys came to propose marriage in order to have a stable border with Daliang so that they could free up their hands to pacify the Burmese and barbarians. When Mei Changsu discussed it, he also said, "With Princess Nihuang in charge of the southern border, Liang and Chu have been at a stalemate with each other, and they have indeed not fought for years. Now that the marriage has been repaired, Dachu certainly wants to free up its hands to pacify the Burmese and barbarians, but we in Daliang can also take the opportunity to take a break from the silver shortage in the past two years, which is also a good way." ——Did you see that for a few years of rest and recuperation, even when it was basically impossible for Nanchu to take the initiative to start a war, Princess Jingning was going to be married off just for a formality! The meaning of her marriage and the rest of her life was just to buy Daliang two years of rest and recuperation. Later, Liang would not send troops when the country was mourning. Nanchu's purpose of buying time had been achieved. In fact, there was no need for a marriage, but no one pity Princess Jingning and tested whether Emperor Liang could cancel the marriage. The fundamental reason is that a princess does not have much value for people to help her take risks. From this point of view, the Queen Mother was willing to help Li Yang cut off the contact with the Nanchu Proton and force her to get married to avoid a possible marriage. It was considered a great effort. And what does Princess Jingning mean to Prince Jing? "Among the counselors, it's enough for His Highness to have me. There is no need to bother with the military. There is Princess Jingning in the palace. She is not very noticeable, but is a strong support." ——Princess Jingning is not willing to marry, and Prince Jing is not without feelings for Jingning. Jingning helped save Tingsheng and Nihuang, and was among the first to know that Mei Changsu had chosen Prince Jing. However, they would rather give up the strong help from the palace than try to prevent the marriage between Nanchu and Chu. In fact, just like King Jing did, he asked Qin Tianjian to find a reason to say that the princess should not marry young (praying for the fate of the Empress Dowager) or something, you can try it, whether it will succeed or not is another matter, but they are not even willing to give it a try. ——In addition, the article mentioned that Princess Mingjue could also marry Jingning instead, but Mei Changsu refused to plan the marriage because: ① The news that Princess Mingjue was about to get engaged was known to both the government and the public, so it was unreasonable to marry Princess Jingning who had no marriage contract; ②Mingjue County The Lord and Princess Jingning have their own interests, and don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you; ③Princess Mingjue's engagement partner is a child of the Nangong family of the previous dynasty, and the man's family background is outstanding. If this side pushes Princess Mingjue to get married, the other side will definitely stop it, and the risk is higher. ——But speaking from another perspective: ① There is no room for affection between children in the face of national events. If you can really give Princess Jingning a reason not to marry, it is not impossible to let Princess Minjue take the lead (no matter how much news is released and it is unrealistic, it will be useless); ② Everyone has a heart to belong to each other; ③ How many ministers can the weight of the Dazai family of the previous dynasty be compared? The minister has been overthrown, let alone them; ④ Princess Mingzhu coughs up blood and is weak? See a famous doctor; Princess Mingchen is lame in her left foot? The disabled third prince, Prince Yu, can be listed as a candidate for marriage. Why can't Princess Mingchen do the same? You must know that it was Nanchu who begged Daliang at this time; Princess Mingrui was ordained and became a monk for half a year? Only half a year? It does not affect her return to secular life; Princess Mingying seems to be suffering from a mental illness... There is no way to deal with mental illness... The main purpose of being so long-winded is to express that I feel sorry for Jing Ning. The road to seizing the rightful son is difficult and dangerous, so I have to try my best to reduce risks. I don't mean to blame anyone. It's just that seeing Mei Changsu so apologetic and helpless for revealing Jing Rui's background, but not helping Princess Jing Ning, who was a former collaborator (there are not many words to describe his guilt, maybe he feels sad but does not show it), it is always a little uncomfortable to compare Jing Ning and Li Yang, who are both princesses. My personal feeling is that everyone can just take a look and take a look.
The emotional intelligence behind the words should not be high. The article said from the perspective of Emperor Liang that she was "disrespectful and unlovable". When Nihuang proposed marriage, Concubine Yue was able to talk to the Confucians and block everyone's words. When she found out that things were out of control, she immediately took the blame and cried in the emperor's lap. The queen had the upper hand at the beginning but ended up getting herself involved in two sentences. Also during the inspection of Zhiluo Palace, she had a hard time with Emperor Liang in front of him, and exposed the fact that he planted nails in front of everyone. The middle palace was disgraced, and with this emotional intelligence, he just started fighting with the women in the harem. Yanhou came from a good family, and her father Yan Taishi's disciples were all over the government and the public. She must have been pampered when she grew up, so she could be the main palace and manage the harem, but Xiaoyi's gentleness to coax men and compete for favors would be in vain. What Emperor Liang liked was a woman as gentle as water like Concubine Yue, or the submissive and undisputed look shown by Concubine Jing. Naturally, he could not fall in love with the pretentious words, and gradually he respected the concubine and suppressed the concubine, and did not give the queen enough respect. As for the queen, her husband did not like her and she had no children. Of course, the only thing she could hold on to was the dignity of the palace, so she fell into a vicious cycle, and finally ended up in a situation where the concubine had to compete with the concubine╮(╯▽╰)╭
I feel like the last sentence is true.
To be precise, from the day she married Prince Yu, they were tied together. We share weal and woe in life and death. Princess Qi is different from Cong because she has a good upbringing, but not every daughter of a minister's family has a good upbringing. When choosing a princess, the identity and connections of the ministers who are favored by the princess are less important than the girl's own qualifications. Maybe it was because of Jamel Xiao that Mei Changsu took a look at Queen Liu's qualifications based on the Liu family.
The last paragraph makes so much sense. The plot of Langya Bang is not the most outstanding compared to many stories, but it wins because of the three views. It can be said to be the most correct Machiavellian novel about the three views that I have ever seen. In general Machiavellian novels, not to mention the disgusting type where the protagonist pursues fame and wealth. Even if it is the kind where he can't help himself or seeks the world for one person, there is still a lot of difference. However, Nirvana in Fire makes people feel what it means to be a true national scholar. The will is the will and the means are the means. This is a kind of mature integrity. After the TV series was broadcast, because some of the villain actors performed really well, many people did tend to prefer those villains. This shows that the production level of the TV series is high and the villain characters are also very fleshed-out. They are not the Japanese-like characters in the anti-war dramas. But I think we still need to have normal views. Are those people who only care about their own selfish interests and do not take the country or the people seriously, really the so-called maturity? If you don't have a correct understanding of major issues of right and wrong, I can only say that this kind of person is not suitable for watching Nirvana in Fire.
I think the author has a point. Some women show it very clearly that they prefer children born from a marriage to children born from a lover. However, some people are more rational and know that it is not the child's fault, but it is difficult to say emotionally. Both Wang Lianhua and Bai Feifei in the novel version of "Martial Arts" are disliked or even hated by their mother. Relationships need to be managed, otherwise even blood relationships will be useless. For example, Blue Life and Death Love.
