The TV series "Langya Bang" describes the struggle between the prince and King Yu at the beginning, which goes from the court to the rivers and lakes, from the secret to the public. Both of them have the support of many dead men and family forces behind them, and these two forces have been fighting for many years, but they have no plans to retreat.
Before the prince became the prince, these two people were both concubines, not from the middle palace. The reason why King Yu dared to compete with him was because he was the adopted son of Empress Yan, so his social status was naturally much higher than that of others. Even if Concubine Yue later became the favorite concubine of the harem, it seems that the son was able to enter the East Palace because of his mother's status, but after the fall of the crown prince, King Yu still failed to enter the East Palace. So, what is the reason for this?
On the one hand, King Yu is like this because of his own reasons:
1. The slippery bloodline of King Yu is regarded as the original sin.
As a prince, his ancestry background is extremely important. In the heart of Emperor Liang, King Yu is a hidden past. In order to be able to ascend the throne, he cleverly used the Linglong princess of the Slippery Clan, but in the end betrayed her. He not only betrayed her, but also betrayed her, wiped out the entire Slippery Clan in one fell swoop, and finally ascended to the throne with the blood of the Slippery Clan.
Emperor Liang, a person who has been immersed in the literature of sages since he was a child, used to be the kind of treacherous villain who did not keep his promises and betrayed his promises. Therefore, whenever he saw Princess Linglong rushing towards him in a nightmare, he would wake up from the nightmare, thinking about it day and night, and his heart was full of fear. He keeps this secret deep down, and is always afraid that the slippery people who have slipped through the net will take revenge on him.
As the son of Princess Linglong, his identity in the harem is deeply hidden, and Emperor Liang has always been wary of him due to his suspicious personality. Even if King Yu has the ability, he has half the blood of the Slippery Clan flowing in his body, which is the embodiment of original sin.
Mother No. 2 said that the queen lacked a sacred heart and did not have the support of her relatives.
Although her adoptive mother, Empress Yan, came from a prominent background, and her family had three generations of emperors, two empresses, and two Zaifu, in the generation of Marquis Yan, she did not hesitate to support Emperor Liang's accession to the throne, and saw with her own eyes that he took away her beloved, and saw with her own eyes that the woman he loved was forced to commit suicide, and many loyal courtiers were washed in blood as a result.
Over the years, I have witnessed Emperor Liang's treachery and cruelty to loyal people;Seeing his former beloved wife and daughter killed, he learned from the pain and was determined to let her return to the world. Witnessing the fate of the brothers who were once brothers and sisters being beheaded all over the house, they fell into hell, covered with grievances and nowhere to sue;
When he saw that his former passion was gradually cooled by the cold reality, and even wanted to blow up Emperor Liang at one point, he was dissatisfied with the cold behavior of his sister Empress Yan, and coldly ridiculed "King Yu is the person who is most like Emperor Liang", and firmly stated that he would not help King Yu.
Although the Yan family came from a prominent family and had disciples all over the court and the opposition, he would rather give up his martial arts than support King Yu. Empress Yan lacks a sacred heart in the harem, has no support from her mother's family behind her, and only has a vacant title of queen, which is undoubtedly a huge disadvantage for King Yu.
3 Because of his excessive meritocracy, Emperor Liang developed a sense of awe.
Emperor Liang was a cold-hearted and suspicious man who believed that power was more important than anyone else. For his sons, he is also suspicious, vigilant, and suppressive, and plays the art of checks and balances to the extreme. The former King of Qi was executed by Emperor Liang on charges of nonsense because he was too virtuous and powerful. Meritocracy is a good thing, but in the eyes of Emperor Liang, the prince's meritocracy is his reverse scale, which cannot be touched!
After the crown prince was restricted in his freedom, most people in the court believed that this was a harbinger of the dethronement of the crown prince. The wind direction changed suddenly, and some people had long wanted to promote King Yu to become the new crown prince, which also became a concern for Emperor Liang. Concubine Jing seized the opportunity of the emperor's question and "inadvertently" blew the wind to the emperor: "I know very little about King Yu, but I heard that he is a virtuous king. ”
As expected, Emperor Liang expressed contempt for this: "The woman in the palace, do you really know what virtuous is?."She laughed, "I want to turn all the women of the world into virtuous and virtuous people." The bell of "Xian" suddenly sounded in Concubine Jing's mind, and she immediately understood the emperor's will, and quietly poked a stick and said: "The current king is like this, isn't it because of the emperor's past favor!."”
Emperor Liang was awakened by a stick, and yes, it was only a matter of time before the crown prince was grounded and deposed now. The hegemony of the Yuwang family has posed a threat to the imperial power, and a new generation needs to be supported to maintain the balance of power in the imperial court. Therefore, soon after, the crown prince's ban was temporarily lifted, Concubine Jing was promoted to Concubine Jing, and King Jing was made a prince, forming a new situation of checks and balances of power.
Emperor Liang himself was a witty and cunning man, but the sons he really liked were the crown prince and the king of Jing, both of whom seemed to be dull. King Yu's ingenuity is like an unruly bomb to him, and the consequences can be imagined.
From another point of view, Yuwang's competitors are very strong, and the team members are very complete.
1 Harem Description: Concubine Yue's status alone is comparable to that of thousands of troops, and she has enjoyed a high degree of favor in the harem for many years, and is deeply favored by the emperor. She was able to firmly grasp the emperor's heart with simple words and coquettishness. Despite her young age, the emperor still favored her.
Even though she planned a large-scale military operation under the command of the Nihuang County Lord and shot the prince, she did not show any nervousness in the face of the emperor, pretending to be innocent and pitiful, crying and making trouble, and coquettishly denying it. Shockingly, the big mistake she made was simply being demoted and grounded, which indirectly reflected Emperor Liang's favor and favoritism towards her;
King Jing has been given titles many times, and his mother, Concubine Jing, has supported him for self-evident. Concubine Jing did not mention the queen's noble status or prominent family background, nor did she mention Concubine Yue's beauty or coquettish charm. With her excellent eloquence and emotional intelligence, she has established herself steadily in the harem and has successfully demonstrated a gentle and considerate image that does not fight or grab.
All the gifts were given by the emperor on his own initiative, and he made it clear many times that "there can be no excuse". She was perplexed by King Jing's "ignorance" and offered to help King Jing by teaching her "innocent" son how to be courteous to his advisors in order to win hearts and minds.
As soon as King Yu saw Emperor Liang, she coldly wanted to play tricks on his favorite concubine. The couple's conversation was like a black corn's eye, and although their conversation was not harmonious, she still wanted to try to blow the wind by the pillow, but unfortunately didn't have the chance!
2 Former Dynasty: Discuss the crown prince's core strength in the harem first, and then mention his main force in the previous dynasty, Xie Yu. The crown prince was a young emperor who was pampered in the palace since he was a child and grew up in this environment. Xie Yu is a thoughtful person who always keeps a low profile, but he allows his second son Xie Bi to rely on King Yu in order to confuse and mislead King Yu. He had long been aware of the prince's conspiracy, but he never did it.
Xie Yu is not only a witty person, he was also given the title of "Pillar of Protecting the Country" and was awarded the title of first-class duke. He manages the patrol battalion, and in the imperial court, he ostensibly holds the power of the army, but behind the scenes, the Jianghu forces of Tianquan Villa send people to do those ulterior crimes for him. Despite this, Xie Yu has always remained incorruptible and has not been polluted.
King Jing was initially destitute in the previous dynasty and knew nothing about the internal affairs of the imperial court. Mei Changsu carefully planned for him, gradually established contacts, and gradually became acquainted with a group of people with lofty ideals, including Meng Zhi and Nihuang siblings, both of whom were powerful and loyal military forces
Zhongshu Ling Liu Cheng (that is, the birthplace of the future Princess Jing) recommended to everyone the opportunity to ascend the throne of Shen Chai, the head of the household book, in a "casual chat".The case involved in the criminal department caused a large area of land to collapse, and Cai Quan was lucky to escape from the mud uncontaminated;After saving Yanhou, he affectionately asked Yanhou to assist King Jing.
Regarding the power of the rivers and lakes, Mei Changsu said even more domineeringly: "Since you have decided to use the power of the rivers and lakes, let them see who the real masters of the rivers and lakes are." The Nihuang County Lord also said: "The strength of the Jiangzuo League is really unfathomable. Jiang Zuomeng arranged personnel in various places, and even the imperial courts of various countries gave three points of courtesy.
The financial situation of the Yuwang family has become quite difficult. When he made his debut, Qingguo Gong, the only one supported by the military, clashed with national policy because of the "land invasion case", which led to the stability of the country being overthrown by Emperor Liang himself. And his red sleeves of the Jianghu forces were suppressed by Jiang Zuomeng's Miaoyin Fang, which made him have to face defeat!
Brief summary: In fact, King Yu never obtained the position of the East Palace, not because of his previous actions or later rebellions, but because Emperor Liang's opinion of him has never changed.
From the beginning to the end, he was just a pawn used to balance the power of the crown prince and the imperial court. He was never really a ruler, and he didn't even have a chance to ascend to the throne. Regardless of the identity of the crown prince, King Yu was destined to not be able to enter the East Palace. It's not because he has too many incompetent teammates, but because his slippery bloodline is the real original sin, which is the real reason for the tragedy of his life!
