Today we share a very interesting story in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the emperor disposed of Huang Guiquan, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, because of a pot of flowers. It's easy to overlook this plot at first, but when you watch it again, you'll find that it's an interesting plot.
After Meizhuang's fake pregnancy, the emperor also had a small estrangement with Zhen Huan. Later, Zhen Huan bribed Fang Ruo, and Fang Ruo helped persuade the emperor to go to see Zhen Huan, so the two reconciled as before. On the morning of the second day when the two reconciled, the emperor put Huang Guiquan, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, into the Shen Criminal Division, knowing that Huang Guiquan was a distant relative of Concubine Hua.
Later, Concubine Hua said that Huang Gui was all wrong, but it was not so severe as punishment. Is that really the case?In fact, Concubine Hua did not penetrate the deeper inside story.
First: The emperor is a suspicious person, and this suspicion is enough to kill many people. How suspicious is the emperor?Originally, it was good to sublimate Concubine Hua to the imperial concubine, but as a result, he deliberately arranged for the eunuch to give the imperial concubine's uniform to Concubine Hua in advance.
The same thing, the emperor liked Zhen Huan and said that he would promote Zhen Huan to be a concubine, but Zhen Huan was suspected of misdeeds by the emperor because she was wearing Chunyuan's old clothes by mistake, and the reward for Zhen Huan was canceled.
Therefore, the suspicious emperor will think deeply about the appearance of any thing, and those who think about it will analyze many details that are difficult for ordinary people to pay attention to.
So when the emperor saw this pot of flowers that didn't grow very well in Zhen Huan's palace, he had a lot of thoughts, the internal affairs government was not responsible, and a pot of flowers couldn't be done well, would he still do a good job in the future?Just dispose of it, and the object of disposal is the general manager Huang Guiquan, this is the emperor's character.
Second: This happened in Zhen Huan's palace, when Zhen Huan and the emperor had reconciled, although the two had a little contradiction before, but now the emperor regards Zhen Huan as a treasure in his hand. The emperor saw the flowers that had bloomed in Zhen Huan's palace, and he thought that when I had a conflict with Huanhuan, you subordinates would see that the wind made the rudder bad for Huanhuan, and now we are all reconciled, you don't have to do things, you don't do things according to my wishes, and you don't care about the people I like.
In the face of the difficulties for Huan Huan, in order to vent his anger for his woman, the emperor immediately disposed of Huang Guiquan, which not only gave Zhen Huan an explanation, but also preserved his majesty.
Third: The first two reasons are likely to come to mind, but the third reason is the most important. This defeated flower, Zhen Huan, said very clearly to Liuzhu, saying that this is a pomegranate flower.
Pomegranate flowers are characterized by many sons, and raising pomegranate flowers in the palace means that the emperor has many heirs and many children. It also symbolizes the strength of the Qing Dynasty and the stability of the country. Huang Guiquan, you deliberately put a pot of pomegranate flowers that have bloomed in front of my eyes, aren't you cursing me to have no successor in the Qing Dynasty?Deliberately disgusting the emperor?The emperor wants to dispose of you, this is what you hit the muzzle of the gun yourself.
So from the emperor's point of view, it is not just a pomegranate flower. The Ministry of Internal Affairs, you can't plant a pot of such a precious flower, and you still put it in my beloved Huan Huan Palace, aren't you cursing me and Huan Huan Hua for blooming and falling, and having no children and grandchildren?
At that time, the emperor was angry, but he didn't say it in front of everyone. The king's heart is in the sea, maybe Huang Gui has never figured out why he was beaten into the Criminal Division in his whole life.
Therefore, there is really no plot in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" that is superfluous, and nothing is gratuitous!Huang Guiquan's death is not that he is not responsible, but that he challenged the authority of the imperial power
