One type of comment I often see is that they think Jiang Heng is very pitiful, and feel aggrieved and unreasonable that he did not become emperor on his own in the end. This is reasonable and reasonable. After all, Geng Shu thought so in the early stage. But when I finished reading this book for the first time, I didn't feel this way. I think it's because Jiang Heng himself doesn't think he is very pitiful. Even I, who followed his perspective, felt the same way. The reason why Jiang Hengneng has so little hatred for the so-called throne has a lot to do with his childhood experience. During Jiang Heng's short happy time as a child, he could feel that he was accompanied by his wife Wei who took good care of him, his strict and strong mother Mrs. Zhao, and his brother Geng Shu who depended on each other for life. When the Jiang family mansion was devoured by fire, he comforted his brother and said that money is only an external thing, as long as people are fine, it will be fine. It can be said that the most important thing in Jiang Heng's life is his family and his selfishness. After losing his brother, he sought death several times, and finally decided to devote his love to the common people. For the sake of thousands of children in the world, they will no longer be separated forever like him and his brother. He always knew what he really wanted. I was afraid that fate would play tricks on me later, so I stood on the opposite side of my brother. He weighed the two sides, the one on the left was the short one and the one on the right was the taller one. Zhi Cong was not good as a father, and he still had a son. In this world, emotions do not always give way to justice. His brother is equally important to him. Since his brother is willing to kill his father for him, he is also willing to change his choice. Then the sudden life experience and blood feud that followed were naturally insignificant to him. He has never met his biological parents. They are too unfamiliar to Jiang Heng, and he cannot hate them even if he wants to. The throne is even more simple, I don't want to be it, that's all. As long as there is no more war in the world and the people do not need to be treated like animals, it will be fine if they have the right to live as human beings. Jiang Heng also clearly understood that China would eventually be unified even without him. He just wanted to try his best to reduce bloodshed and sacrifice. Everything can be given up, but not human beings. The emperor is nothing more than a symbol of unity. This always reminds me that the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty ruled the world together with the emperor, so what if they were not emperors. Besides, it's the Ying Kingdom chapter that everyone feels is too frustrating. From the beginning of this article, because of the poor information that "he is Prince Wen", Jiang Heng was taken advantage of by Zhi Cong and fell into a passive position. Zheng Guo's vitality was severely damaged, and Liang Guo had become a lamb to be slaughtered. Dai Guo had a contract with Ying Guo. If he wanted to survive, not to mention the great cause of unification, he had to temporarily surrender to Ying, and therefore he was surrounded by Yong and Ying. Becoming a traitor, Zhi Cong entered the pass and plundered and killed wantonly. He also learned about his life experience, but as mentioned before, this was insignificant to him, and he never cared about how much he had lost. He has seen the fire in Luoyang, the river full of corpses in Zheng State, the people in Luoyan City who have been manipulated all their lives, and the people in Ying State who are struggling to make ends meet due to extravagance and lust. There are dead people everywhere, making every living person feel normal. This cold reality is far colder than a distant blood feud and cannot be ignored. When it prospers, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer. The struggle for the interests of princes has nothing to do with the people. Responsibility dictates that he must go back. You have to say, no matter how righteous and upright he is, this part is still frustrating, and in the end he just relies on assassination to solve the problem. That is really understandable. But the method is not this one, but this one is faster and more direct. No matter what, Juicong will definitely die. It's just that the counterattack is not strong enough. But I can accept it because Jiang Heng doesn't think so. I don't feel that I am pitiful, I regret that I didn't stab Zhi Cong to death with my sword, I don't regret my decision to choose Yong, I don't think that my previous efforts were in vain. Unifying the world was his ambition, but he was not careful because of this, striving for perfection and making unnecessary assumptions about what had happened. Keep your feet on the ground and travel to various countries, just to reduce unnecessary disputes in the world. Then do your best to obey fate. I first read this book five years ago. Every time I read it again in the past five years, I can understand something new. Parting between life and death, justice in the world, joys and sorrows, love between children, ideals and desires. Every time I grow up, I see more things, both good and bad. I always like Shanyoumuxi and the boy who smiles like a sunny day.
After the encounter, I still felt too aggrieved after reading it for the second time. I understand the truth, but unfortunately I don't have the ambition and revenge of the protagonist. I am a layman, so I feel very aggrieved. The most uncomfortable thing in the series is this one. All the people who died deserved their death, but I can't help but think about the possibility of another one surviving... Maybe the destruction of the supporting cast is consistent with the background of this troubled world; plus the scene where the grandmother recognizes Jiang Heng. As Zhang said in the chapter review, she had two opportunities to be honest in front of everyone, but she still waited until the last person was gone before they recognized each other in private. Although Prince Long and Jiang Heng were flesh on the palms and backs of her hands, I felt that when my grandmother treated the perpetrators' beneficiaries and victims equally, it was essentially unfair. Several members of the royal family occasionally had this kind of "subtle malice", which made me feel depressed. The emotional line is also a bit slow to advance, but it is understandable that Jiang Heng must understand his life experience before the two of them can talk about orthopedics. However, in the column, I felt that the emotional line in this book is too light and there are no twists and turns. I won't poke fun at it, but the article is not about emotional flow in the first place and is oriented toward drama. So what is more embarrassing is that the emotional line is a stable performance of 7 points. The plot line is exciting, but the tone is too helpless. I also give it a 7 point. In summary, I think this work of ftyx can only be said to have no merit (perhaps my expectations are relatively high. Personally, I think the outstanding emotional line is Turing Code, and the outstanding plot is such as Meet Me or Knight of the Stars) From another perspective, since you are writing a novel, you must consider the issue of "look and feel" instead of just being happy. I admit that this is an excellent and wonderful work, but it is not a comfortable novel for readers. If I want to define it, I don't know which category I should put this article into. I think this may be the source of the pain I felt after reading it. The series "Zhutianxingguan" always reminds me of the game of chess played by Mei Changsu. I think I would rather see Mei Changsu die alone and leave Princess Jingwang and others alive than everyone else dying and leaving only him and the princess retreating into the world. I won't mention it here just as an analogy, and there is no meaning of touching porcelain or being gay (holding my head) Although the civet cat exchanged for the prince, the real prince returned in the end. The eagle slave had a lover but did not get married, but at least the second life was successful. The king in troubled times, although he succeeded in the troubled times and retired, he could be regarded as stepping from the bottom to become a prince and prime minister. Although I know that the protagonist of this book has transcended all kinds of worldly desires, but I have not transcended myself. I cannot get out of the worldly evaluation system, so I feel very uncomfortable. Ji himself said in the interview that he hopes that everyone will have new feelings after reading his works every once in a while. I don't know how to define the feelings this book conveys to me, because I am too far away from the realm of the protagonist. I can only read my pain as a layman. Maybe when I said this sentence, I was no longer evaluating this book but looking at myself through the protagonist. If I have the opportunity to review this book in a few years, I hope I will have a different experience. In the end, I will continue to support ftyx no matter what, and I would like to thank Chicken for bringing such a long story~
Absolutely amazing, a masterpiece. It was amazing when I first read it. Over the years, I have read a little more and grown a lot. I admire the author's skills even more when I read it again. Nowadays, few people write ancient texts with real backgrounds, which is thankless. However, Feitian's book completely describes the atmosphere of that era and the style of the people at that time. The words all serve to shape the era (this is even more amazing compared to Ji's other texts, which really only write about what is written), and it completely makes that era come alive. The most commendable thing is the author's thinking about history, understanding of culture and his ideological ambitions and scholarly feelings. Many details are thought-provoking. I dare say that this is unique in the original world. The plot is so exciting, the plot is full of twists and turns, and not even a bear is left behind. I still remember Luo Xuan's death and the shock of Prince Lingzhi Cong clearly even after so many years. In addition, I really like the blank space in this book. I can't say why it's good because of the vague treatment of the grudges and entanglements of the previous generation, but I like it very much. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Only roaring can express my love! ! ! ! ! I know this is definitely more laborious than The Exorcist, but can you also write a series of ten or eight books? ! !
It turns out that the story of Geng Yuan and Jiang Zhao is so regrettable. I fully understand Geng Yuan. In the extra story, Geng Yuan assassinated Jiang Zhao because he wanted to protect her and fight for her in a situation where there would be no return. Asking to marry her was also his only selfish move. But during the period of blindness, due to too much pressure, his sanity collapsed, and he had a drunken relationship with Nie Qi, so he placed Nie Qi in a private house in the city of Anyang, but Geng Yuan did not live there, but lived in Anyang Palace. He often played the piano for Bi Jie, and only visited Nie Qi and his children every ten days for seven years. In the past seven years, Geng Yuan could not communicate with Jiang Zhao, because if intercepted, Jiang Zhao would be implicated. The only letter he wrote, explaining Jiang Heng's life experience, was not finished. The cover said "Zhao'er personally expresses" and began with "My wife Zhao". He did not send it out. He was afraid of incriminating Jiang Zhao, so he did not dare to send it out. He relied on Bi Jie to enter the court meeting of the four countries and assassinated the envoys of the four countries. However, because he betrayed his trust by killing Bi Jie, who trusted him, and he believed that a scholar should die for his confidant, and even if he survived, he might be hunted endlessly and implicate the most important people around him, so he chose to die. Of course, he had already been prepared to die. In the article, Geng Shu found a blood-stained letter with Jiang Heng's life experience. The content was not finished because he had not planned to send it, and the letter was not destroyed because it was a letter to Jiang Zhao. This was the only time he called Jiang Zhao "my wife". He regarded it as his last thought, so he took it with him when he committed suicide. It was stained with blood until he was discovered by Geng Shu. After Nie Qi got the news, she chose to die for love and leave her child to Jiang Zhao because she regarded Geng Yuan as her only thought in her life, and this thought was gone, so she chose to die for love. However, this was just her wishful thinking. Geng Yuan did not love her. Later, Jiang Zhao waited for Geng Shu's arrival in Xundong and learned about the death of his lover and the child he had with his maid. Thinking of this, he was really ashamed, so he misunderstood. Later, the coach of Yin State led troops to attack Xundong. Jiang Zhao assassinated the coach in order to protect the people of Xundong, and was seriously injured in the end. After bidding farewell to Jiang Heng, he left Xundong. On the way, she saw Geng Yuan looking at her with bright eyes, and unconsciously sang the Yue song. Geng Yuan and Jiang Zhao both sang the Yue song before they died. This is a kind of echo before and after, I love you, but you will never know it. What's even more sad is that Jiang Zhao always misunderstood Geng Yuan's intentions, and they never saw each other again after they got married. They can all publish a novel, Feitian, I really can't stand it, how can you be so good at writing? They can even publish a book on their own, so write an if line for them. It's so painful, but they are worth it! Don't let them do this This year's birthday interview, I must ask for a side story for them. It's really painful.
This is a novel with a good beginning and end. Many events echo back and forth, with a strong sense of craftsmanship. I like the story of the five assassins very much. I really like Shou traveling around the four countries, inspecting the emperor, and the princes attacking the emperor. They all died in the end. It has a sense of fate. Looking back at the whole novel, my favorite part is the part where Shou accompanied the Emperor of Jin in Luoyang. It is full of dangers but simple and beautiful. Shou finally retreats to the countryside, which is Xiao Fei's xp. However, there are also many It's a bit far-fetched. Many high blood pressure plots have reached the point where they cannot be ignored. I understand that some people feel aggrieved by it. This is the first time I have seen a non-scumbag Gong hated by so many people [covering his face and laughing and crying]. Anyway, I don't think this is the case with other Feitian Yexiang books. He takes the blame himself. As a result, this one is indeed not as popular as "Meet the Happy", "The King in Troubled Times", and even "The Eagle Slave". It is also a flaw in the jade, half good and half bad.
The story was very exciting in the early stages, and the characters were well-developed, but in the middle and later stages, it felt like the characters were out of the author's control. Some plots happened because they were in the outline, rather than what the characters would do according to their own will. For example, Jiang Heng was forced to travel to various countries, and the emotional lines of attack and reception... Felt a bit fragmented. But I really like the part before the separation of attack and shou, the story of several assassins, the protection of Heng'er by Xiang Zhou, Luo Xuan, and Jie Gui, the prince Ling, and the "travel" that Heng'er takes us to various countries... Overall, it's a book with no flaws. [Rose]
Throw flowers! ! ! I haven't read a novel in a while because I haven't found one I like! ! ! This book has a strong sense of historical epic, I personally like it very much [rainbow fart][rainbow fart][rainbow fart][rainbow fart]
In the book, Jiang Heng and Geng Shu reunited after four years apart, and outside the book, I revisited them after four years.
So pretty, so pretty! ! The story is delicate and complete with twists and turns, and the world view is grand. Especially the part where the people of the world appear for the first time, it is like a literal stage play. Every character is vivid and vivid, so every time you encounter danger, you will unconsciously worry about him. When the master first appeared on the scene, people thought he had such a mouth. When he died, it made people feel sad and shed tears, but when Boss Pig died, he was very happy. Each king has his own interests, and the five-nation line also has its ups and downs. The ending of discussing the world is very ideal. It also allows me to see that the process of development is not completed at once. I know that the knowledge point I learned at that time "perpetual war disgusts everyone" is not empty talk. Bloodshed before peace is cruel and necessary. Finally, thank the writer for being merciful and letting the soil go. Otherwise, it would be too cliché and everyone would die. Someone has to tell the story, right? [Dog Head] [Cat Claw] Check in!
The second brush is completed. "Shan You Mu Xi" is my favorite article in Mr. Ji's article. The love of bamboo horses who depend on each other is really one of the most beautiful relationships in the world. Heng and Su are attracted to each other with both literary and military skills. They completely trust each other. They are each other's life, the light in life, and are each other's whole world. It is really touching.
