In the work "Da Song Gong Ci", the deranged Chu king Zhao Yuanzuo actually plans to marry the princess, and this princess turns out to be Wang Yuying, the beautiful and intelligent daughter of the prime minister Wang Qinruo.
Therefore, did Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, really lose his mind or just pretend to be crazy?From the original book, we can know that he was a handsome young man who Liu E fell in love with at first sight
Zhao Yuanzuo was the orthodox eldest son of Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, and his biological mother was Empress Li of Yuande.
Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, had a total of eight sons and seven daughters, of which Zhao Yuanzuo was the legitimate eldest son. During his reign, in order to consolidate the imperial power and achieve control over the local power, he signed the "Letter of Acceptance" with the Song and Jin, but in the end it failed to achieve its goal. If the Jinkui Alliance is not mentioned, Zhao Yuanzuo is likely to become the preferred candidate for the crown prince of Song Taizong.
In this drama, Xiao Yang played the role of Zhao Yuanzuo. The characters he portrays are very simple, relatively simple, and relatively thin. After observation, Xiao Yang's previous works do not seem to be very common, and the few film and television works he participated in are not particularly popular, so they give people a relatively unfamiliar feeling. However, he perfectly presented the weak image of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu.
First of all, let's focus on the character Zhao Yuanzuo in "Da Song Gong Ci":
As the legitimate eldest son, Zhao Yuanzuo lacked decisive killing intent, so he did not want to usurp the throne.
The play only involves Zhao Guangyi's four sons, namely the eldest son Yuan Zuo, the second son Yuan Xi, the third son Yuan Kan and the fourth son Yuan Fen.
Zhao Yuanzuo's personality is slightly timid and cringe.
Zhao Guangyi sent his three sons to Huazhou to carry out water control work, with the aim of testing their strength to determine the future position of the prince.
Unexpectedly, because of his perfunctory attitude for fear of fatigue and hardship, Zhao Yuanzuo had long intended to quietly return to the palace to complete the task, and he did not care about any form of assessment or the position of prince.
However, Zhao Yuanzuo is a rare character full of warmth in the play.
At the time of the ** incident, Zhao Guangyi was trapped in the rubble, and although he felt helpless, he genuinely cared about his father's life.
Yuan Kan rushed into the plague quarantine camp in flames, and although the second prince Yuan Xi was cold and ruthless, Yuan Zuo felt deep regret for failing to save his younger brother.
He did not have the ambition of King Yuanxu of Zhao nor the talent of King Xiang, so he did not receive enough attention from his father Zhao Guangyi.
In the early days when Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong decided to establish a prince, he favored his third son Yuan Kan, who had been favored by him since he was a child, that is, Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong.
Zhao Yuanzuo's mental state seemed a little sluggish and crazy, all of which was related to the word "afraid".
The young Zhao Guangyi succeeded Empress Li and Zhao Yuanzuo to secretly reach some kind of agreement with Wang Jien, an inner chamberlain, and their goal was to promote Zhao Yuanzuo to the rank of prince and hope to replace Zhao Guangyi as soon as possible.
Yuan Zuo, like Zhao Tingmei, is also a puppet figure who is pushed by others and hopes to make a name for himself.
He was terrified of bitterness, tiredness, dampness, insects, and killing among brothers, but the fear of death was even stronger. He is an entrepreneur by military force. He should pay more attention to the value of his life than the storage position.
Empress Li and Yuan Zuo secretly planned in the dormitory of the Imperial Palace. Zhao Guangyi found out about the situation and slashed off Yuan Zuo's bun with a sword. Despite the fact that his son wore an emerald green hat for him and intended to plan for his throne, Taizong was still reluctant to take his son's head.
Due to deep fear, Zhao Yuanzuo lost his mind. Since then, the first candidate for the throne has been disqualified from competing for the throne and cannot compete for the throne.
Please read carefully the role of Zhao Yuanzuo described in the original book:
There are obvious differences between Zhao Yuanzuo in the original book and the TV series "Da Song Gong Ci", and the early emotions and character settings are given to the protagonist Zhao Yuankan.
He is the handsome young man who made Liu E fall in love at first sight.
Liu E went to Tokyo to seek refuge from the King of Qin, and the first person she met was Zhao Yuankan, the king of Xiang, but she first developed a deep affection for Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu.
On the way, Liu E encounters bad guys, but is eventually rescued by Yuan Zuo. When Liu E, a macho girl, first saw her, she showed her daughter's shyness.
Under the straight bridge of his nose, his lips are as thin as a knife and have a soft curvature. At this time, the corner of one of his lips quietly rose, like a finger gently plucking the strings, and Qing Yue's ** echoed in her heart.
Liu E suddenly felt her cheeks burn, and a warm air stream rushed into her cheeks along her veins in this brief moment.
Zhao Yuanzuo gave Liu E a hairpin, and the two had the idea of spending this life together.
He was a gifted royal eldest son who was favored by Taizong and the future heir of the Great Song Dynasty. However, due to the death and the collapse of faith caused by the rebellious actions of the fourth uncle, Cho Tingmei, he became insane.
As a prince, the opportunity to spend family time with his father is naturally slim. Zhao Yuanzuo has been close to his fourth uncle Zhao Tingmei since he was a child. He loved both his mother and his younger brother. The fourth uncle treated him as his own child, instructed him to learn archery, reading and writing, and taught him how to play and play, and the relationship between the two was like that of father and son. There are also contradictions and conflicts between them, but they can both tolerate and understand each other. However, due to the Song Dynasty's origins in the Empress Dowager Du's "Golden Kui Alliance" and the system of succession, these two became the main contenders for the position of prince.
After Zhao Tingmei and Lu Duoxun's rebellious behavior**, he was demoted to Fangzhou, and was given wine and poisoned behind the back of Song Taizong. Zhao Yuanzuo personally went to Fangzhou and witnessed the death of the fourth uncle in front of his eyes. His brother also died because of him. He didn't want to inherit the bloodstained imperial power, so he got into a heated argument with Song Taizong and wounded his father with a sword.
When Zhao Yuanzuo learned that he was also included in the kill list of the Fourth Uncle's throne, he was confused, unsure whether to trust his father or the Fourth Uncle, and his faith suddenly collapsed and he was furious.
Song Taizong thought that Zhao Yuanzuo was too merciful and lacked the courage to decide life and death, so he decided to exclude him. Soon after, during a military confrontation with the Song Dynasty, he was finally executed because of his perverse personality and inability to obey the emperor's orders. From then on, Zhao Yuanzuo was imprisoned and claimed to the outside world that the king of Chu suddenly suffered from hysteria.
If it weren't for this rebellion, Zhao Yuankan's beautiful wife and Jiangshan would probably belong to Zhao Yuanzuo. Their marriage, although it was a misunderstanding, brought him a great future. It's a pity that life has been misunderstood, love has been lost, and the country has been lost!
Zhao Yuanzuo is a figure in history:
After excluding the relationship with Liu E, the historical Zhao Yuanzuo is basically consistent with the description of the original work.
Zhao Yuanzuo has been very smart since he was a child, his appearance resembles that of Song Taizong, and he is a particularly favored child of Emperor Taizong. Since childhood, he has had a high level of wisdom and ability, and has put forward his own unique and incisive views on many major issues in history. In the play, Zhao Yuankan was given this role.
He was young and witty, similar in appearance to Taizong, and was deeply loved by the emperor.
At the request of his uncle, he was deposed due to his uncontrolled behavior.
Song Taizong falsely accused Zhao Tingmei of conspiring with Lu Duosun to rebel and demoted Zhao Tingmei to a commoner. Zhao Yuanzuo knew very well that this was a frame-up and **, so he took the initiative to plead and intercede with Song Taizong on behalf of Zhao Tingmei.
Eventually, Zhao Tingmei died in Fangzhou at the age of thirty-eight due to excessive depression. Zhao Yuanzuo lost control of his emotions because of this, injured the waiter with a knife, and set fire to the palace in a drunken state, and was finally deprived of his civilian status by Song Taizong.
When Tingmi died, Motozo became very angry and even attacked the servant with a small blade.
Don't compete with others and don't fight, and there will end well.
After the death of Taizong, Zhenzong Zhao Heng inherited the throne. Considering that he and Zhao Heng were brothers, Zhao Heng regained the title of King of Zhao Yuan Zuochu, and successively served as General Zuojin Wuwei, Taiwei, Zhongshu Ling, Taishi and Jiangling Mu, and also obtained the title of fief and marquis, which was completely in line with his personal wishes.
Zhao Yuanzuo's life was full of wealth and glory, and his children and grandchildren were all over the world. He died at the age of 63, becoming the longest-lived of all Song Taizong's sons.
After his death, he was posthumously crowned King of Qi and given the nickname Gongxian. Later, he was re-named King Lu and King of Wei.
In the drama "Da Song Gong Ci", the character setting of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, and his crazy behavior are obviously different from historical records. Through the analysis and study of the characters in the play, this paper finds that the main characters are all crazy. The characters in this drama have been acting very crazy, and they are not sure if there will be a big turn in the future.
However, it is widely believed by later generations that Zhao Yuanzuo's actions were actually to prevent his brothers from fighting each other for the throne and did not want to become emperor, so they pretended to be insane.
Whether he was genuinely crazy or pretended to be crazy, Zhao Yuanzuo successfully avoided the bloody battlefield of the battle for the throne through this strategy, and was deeply favored by Zhenzong, and his life was perfect, and he won eternal praise for it.
After three generations of inheritance, it finally realized its true nature and adhered to its basic principles. Although time has passed, it has not lost that deep light, its light flickering inside, it has a history of more than five hundred years, and no one can compare with it, that is Yuanzuo, the king of Chu!
