Text |Xinyi Xinyi Challenge Day is the 5th day
Hello, I'm Xinyi.
Because I shared Bai Mengtang Bai yesterday, when I revised the article, I sorted out many notes from when I revisited this classic, and when I saw them again today, I was a little reluctant to leave them behind.
This drama is too classic, there are many things worth pondering, today let's talk about Prince Zhan.
In the drama version of "The Mansion Gate", Prince Zhan paid for the first half of his life as soon as he appeared, and he bought the entire second half of his life as soon as he bought it!
The most subtle thing is that he bought half a lifetime of orders, but none of them were bought for himself.
And the most curious and difficult to understand is:
As the number one villain in the whole play, this prince has only adult children and an elderly mother from beginning to end. In the huge palace, except for a housekeeper and a general manager, there is no housewife!
Even in the mouths of others, there is not a single word of relevance.
Compared with his scumbag-like nephew Guiwu, the prince's life in the play is like a fat prawn - in a strange way of pinching his head and removing his tail, he has become the enemy of the Bai family.
What's even more obscure is that such a character with a sense of story is like a background wall in the play, with not many stories and a lot of frames.
Touching it carefully frame by frame, it turned out to be a multi-faceted three-dimensional hollow person, why is this?
In order to present a more three-dimensional Bai family in a hearty and plump way, the story of Prince Zhan is probably the one that director Guo Baochang uses the most Spring and Autumn brushwork.
One of the most typical is his family background.
As the number one villain, the general TV series will at least directly or indirectly supplement the entire birth background or growth process of the character when or after his appearance.
Prince Zhan is an exception.
In "The Gate of the Mansion", from the appearance of the prince to his death, no one gave him any supplementary origins, so the image of his appearance is particularly interesting to taste:
Tall and big, chubby and round;The physiognomy is not the same - the broad forehead is full of acupoints, the eyebrows are convex, the nose is full, the face is round, especially a pair of eyes, burning like a tiger, blazing like a pool.
No matter how you look at it, he is not the kind of puppet who only has a big man and no great wisdom, but Guo Baochang has hidden a lot of things in him.
Like, his name.
On the back cover of the original book, there is a passage that says:
"In the sixth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, the Baifu of the medical family and the Zhan Mansion of the official eunuch family formed a deep enmity, and the century-old 'Baicao Hall' old pharmacy was seized, and the whole house fell into a desperate situation. ”
The sixth year of Guangxu is 1880 when the story of the Bai family in "The Gate of the Mansion" begins;The deep enmity is about Bai Yingxuan, the second master of the Bai family, who gave a doctor to King Zhan's Mansion after the beginning of the drama version.
As a result, because of the Ximai incident, the head of the Zhan Mansion, Che Laohui, smashed the Baifu car and horses, which stinked Bai Erye's reputation as a doctor.
In this plot, Prince Zhan went home from work to the gate of the palace, and when he got out of the carriage and was about to enter the palace, he inadvertently glanced back and caught a glimpse of the Bai family's carriage and horses.
He subconsciously asked the chief manager if the uncle of the Bai family was here, and the answer he got was:
"The uncle has entered the palace, and the second master is here, the second master. ”"Second master?”The repetition that follows is the question of Prince Zhan. Later, the greetings after seeing Bai Yingxuan also showed that the prince was very familiar with Bai Yingyuan at that time, but it was the first time he saw Bai Yingxuan, the second master Bai.
In today's parlance, doctors and patients and their families are seeing each other for the first time and have not known each other before. Because they are not familiar with each other, this has made a particularly good foreshadowing for the next unreasonable medical trouble:
After entering the house, Prince Zhan first went to Lao Fujin to see his mother, and by the way, he read the prescription, and then came over to ask Bai Yingxuan about Da Gege's condition.
At this time, he had been like a kind old father during the whole process, smiling, and was even ready to pay Bai Yingxuan double the visit fee.
But the dramatic thing is that before the money was brought, Bai Yingxuan's next stupid sentence 'Da Gege is a happy pulse' instantly turned Zhan Wangye's face, "Hmph!.""A magical flip!
The consequences of Prince Zhan's instant turn of face, and later we all knew it, was to publicly humiliate Bai Yingxuan by smashing the car and killing the horse, and angrily accusing him of his poor medical skills in disguise.
As for the root cause of his turn, it turned back and forth, and after going through the mouths of four people, we finally understood:
29-year-old Da Gege, unmarried and pregnant!
From the perspective of Guo Baochang's Spring and Autumn brushwork, the details of this plot are about Da Gege on the surface, but in fact, what is hidden in the dark side is the family history of the character prototype of Zhan Wangye.
For example, after Bai Mengtang personally came to the door to diagnose Da Gege's pulse, he had such a simple exchange with Zhan Yu:
"How many days has Da Gege been in Beijing?"My sister has been here for more than a year. ”"That's still not adaptable, how could your second sister go out of the pavilion first, and the eldest sister fell behind?”"My second sister was still young when she was sent to the palace, and even if she entered the palace, she didn't care about the order of size. The second sister in Zhan Yu's mouth is the Ergege mentioned in the first talk about Bai Mengtang, that is, the youngest daughter of Zhan Wangye.
The family has two daughters, and the elder sister is not married, but the younger sister is married first, in an era like that, if there are no special circumstances, this is indeed contrary to common sense.
So the question is: who is the youngest daughter of Prince Zhan?Why did you let her marry first?When exactly did she enter the palace?
These two points, Bai Yingxuan asked An Fu, the housekeeper of the Zhan Mansion, when he first saw Da Gege, and the two said this at that time:
"Isn't this Da Gege the concubine of Lord Tongzhi?It's in the palace. ”"That's Ergege, this big Gege has just come to Beijing from his hometown in Mongolia for more than a year, and you haven't seen it. 
How many people who know the history of the Qing Dynasty know that Emperor Tongzhi died in 1875, and the only favorite concubine he really had before his death was the queen Arut who married from the main gate of the Qing Dynasty in the year of his wedding.
And this queen happened to be a Mongolian, and when she entered the palace, she was 2 years older than the 17-year-old Emperor Tongzhi, that is, 19 years old.
In the play, Che Lao, the head manager of the Zhan Mansion, told Steward Hu that Ergege entered the palace in the tenth year of Tongzhi (1871), and the 29-year-old Da Gege arrived in the capital after living alone in Mongolia for 10 years.
In other words, the younger sister who married before Da Gege in the family was also 19 years old, and the person who entered the palace to marry was Emperor Tongzhi!
In the preface of the original work of "The Gate of the Mansion", Guo Baochang said that the first few drafts of this book were burned down several times because of the turbulent storms of the times.
Why was it successfully published as a book and made into a film and television?This may be the fundamental reason why he used the Spring and Autumn brushwork on the person of Zhan Wangye.
The real thing seems to be nothing, Zhan Wangye and Er Gege, the real historical prototype, are the descendants of Kubilong, one of the four auxiliary ministers during the Kangxi period, Chongqi and his daughter Alut.
Therefore, in the play, the Bai family took the pulse of Da Gege one after another, in essence, they were intermittently poking and poking at the vague and vague first half of the life of Zhan Wangye:
The military general of the imperial court, the family has a widowed mother, once had a wife and a concubine, there are two daughters and a son, the eldest daughter is unmarried, the younger daughter is the daughter-in-law of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the son is also an adult married, named Zhan Yu!
His eldest daughter was pregnant unmarried, obviously because she had a family ugly, but the royal family smashed the Bai family unreasonably and angrily killed the carriage and horses. In essence, isn't this the originator of medical trouble?
Interestingly, the Bai family, who was troubled, actually took over, and it was very fast.
His daughter did stupid things in a daze, and when he was a father, he didn't investigate the reason carefully, but he turned his head to find fault with the doctor, and the unreasonable medical troubles in King Zhan's Mansion are actually the same as many medical troubles today, which is to bully doctors.
Bai Mengtang knew this too well, so after learning that his son's carriage and horse were smashed, the old man opened the first order for Prince Zhan to buy in the second half of his life:
Confused, let him be a grandfather!
In order to ensure that this order is sold to the truth, Bai Mengtang not only prepared a generous gift to apologize in person, but also personally prescribed a prescription for Da Gege, and thoughtfully arranged his medication.
People seem to have given face regardless of their previous suspicions, and they can't hold it anymore, so Prince Zhan also generously made concessions:
"It's gone, so there's no need to mention it anymore!Lao Fujin has taken the medicine of the second master, and he is already very well, but you second master. Bai Mengtang's original intention was not to apologize, but to personally visit the reality of Da Gege's pregnancy, so his words were particularly seamless:
"The dog is just starting out, the medical road has not yet started, the skill is still shallow, and he dares to come to the palace to offer ugliness, which is really beyond his strength, I am like personally giving the pulse of Da Gege. ”Hearing Bai Mengtang's intention, Prince Zhan inadvertently said another fact about the palace:
"Then there is work, and I won't accompany me if I have something to do in the palace. ”What do you mean?
To put it bluntly: living in the same house, father and daughter, unmarried eldest daughter was diagnosed with pregnancy, as a father, Prince Zhan actually doesn't care much!
In the huge palace, he only cares about two things: whether it is good to go to work and Lao Fujin!
The opponent is like this, and the game is naturally simple.
Therefore, it was not until Da Gege was pregnant for term and successfully gave birth at home that the prince was forced by Bai Mengtang's father and son to personally confirm that Gege gave birth to a child.
But at that time, everything was too late - in addition to paying for Bai Mengtang's carriage and horses at the price, Prince Zhan could only eat Coptis dumbly, and he had to swallow bitterly!
But the matter is not over yet, the good unmarried daughter has become a family scandal maker and spreader overnight, which makes the face of the palace go a**?
Nowhere to go!Therefore, we must find out the real pig's trotters, arch my daughter, and the child also has it, so I have to give an explanation, right?
But the result was brutally beaten with a whip overnight - after Gege said Guiwu, the style of the matter changed abruptly: Prince Zhan did not go directly to Guiwu to settle accounts and ask his daughter for an explanation, but he found his henchman Che Lao Hui at the first time!
What is this for?Buy the second single in the second half of his life?
Guiwu is a Belle Lord, so he is also known as Wu Belle, is the nephew of Zhan Wangye, in terms of seniority, and Zhan Yu and Da Gege are equals, in terms of relationship, it is a collateral line.
If they get married, these two people can be regarded as a consanguineous marriage, which was not impossible at the time.
But when it comes to Prince Zhan, it's really not good - because Guiwu has already been married, and there is a concubine, which is a fact that the prince knows. If Da Gege marries him with his children, how will the position be calculated?
Wife?Unlikely;Concubine?How is that possible?
Since it is impossible, there is only one thing to do: God unknowingly sent Gege's child away to others, and then unknowingly sent Da Gege back to his hometown in Mongolia!
In this way, the lost face of King Zhan's Mansion was covered up, no one was undocumented, and others couldn't say anything substantive even if they chewed their tongues.
Therefore, after learning about Guiwu's big pig's trotters, Prince Zhan quickly found Che Lao Hui!
On the surface, Prince Zhan's face in the palace of the king is actually protecting his stupidity and laziness because of his willfulness - he may be brave in battle, but he is quite a failure in disciplining his children.
How to say?
Do you still remember the conversations between Prince Zhan and Che Lao after leaving Da Gege and Zhan Yu behind, returning to his study, and carefully reading the prescriptions that Bai Mengtang left in the palace one by one?
"See?These prescriptions are all used to stabilize the fetus and replenish qi!”"The Bai family's hand is too yin!This is the ugliness of coming out of our palace!”"I really admire this white master's courage and scheming, but it's just too unfair!“From the perspective of post-review, this can be regarded as a reflection of the prince on Gege's pregnancy:
Why did he admire Bai Mengtang's courage and scheming?Because for the sake of his son and the reputation and future of the Bai family, Old Man Bai can not hesitate to surrender his identity, and even risk being scolded by others, and design to get back the face of the car and horse.
And I don't know anything about my daughter!
is also a father, Zhan Wangye's heart is like looking in a mirror, but he is actually quite ashamed: he failed to educate his daughter well, and he couldn't help her do anything, so protect her reputation!
It's just that he didn't expect that he would completely break his daughter's heart again by doing this, so that after she escaped from the palace overnight, she never came back until she died.
What he didn't expect was that at this juncture, the youngest daughter in the palace also had an accident.
As mentioned earlier, the youngest daughter of Prince Zhan is the prototype of Emperor Tongzhi's queen Alut, in fact, in history, this empress with a strong temperament also died violently on the 75th day after the death of Emperor Tongzhi.
As for the specific cause of the violent death, there have been different opinions in history.
In "The Gate of the Mansion", Guo Baochang chose the most widely circulated one - he was killed by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and when this matter came to Prince Zhan, it was reasonable and difficult to argue.
So he actually has no reason to make trouble anymore, but his scumbag nephew doesn't think so.
After the incident between Da Gege and the child, Guiwu, who only wanted to deceive Gege, was not only scolded by the prince, but also banned from re-entering the palace, and at the same time, he didn't even see the son he wanted the most.
Guiwu, who had nowhere to spread fire in his heart, spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy off the Shou Pharmacy in the palace that was in charge of the prescription of the Tai Hospital, and secretly added a medicinal herb to the prescription prescribed by Bai Yingyuan: Gansui.
The reason why Bai Yingyuan was later arrested and imprisoned is the truth.
But this big order of revenge, the key things were done secretly by Guiwu, but under his instigation, Prince Zhan united with his son Zhan Yu in the Ming Office, and volunteered to buy all the orders:
not only had a relationship with the Bai family's competition-style upper and lower envoys, but also secretly colluded with Guan Shaoyi and his father, and finally sentenced Bai Yingyuan to death!
As the old saying goes, it is forgivable to do sin, but it is impossible for people to live.
Obviously, the violent death of the youngest daughter has nothing to do with the Bai family, but he made the doctor a death sentence, so he can't even stand it, right?
Therefore, at the critical moment when Bai Yingyuan was about to be executed, the old Fu Jin of King Zhan's mansion suddenly became seriously ill, and this old lady only recognized one doctor, which was Bai Yingyuan.
In this way, Zhan Wangye and Zhan Wangfu are miserable - it is not to ask for the Bai family, it is not to ask for it, in short, it is not human inside and outside!
A dignified prince, he paid for his nephew's selfishness to buy this, and there is really no one left, and what about Guiwu who designed the beginning and end of this event?At this time, it is hidden!
had no choice but to let An Fu and Zhan Yu go out in the end, and they took the risk to ask Bai Wen, the second grandmother of Bai who had just taken charge of the Bai family.
At that time, the Bai family, because of Bai Yingyuan's imprisonment and sentence, the old man Bai Mengtang also fell ill, and it became more and more serious, and at the same time, due to Gui Wude's calculations, the old Bai family was also seized, and the Bai family was not having a good time.
However, Bai Wen's clan did not refuse Zhan Wangfu's request for help, but instead saw it as an opportunity to reconcile with each other and agreed to their request.
This made Zhan Wang Ye feel desperate for life - the righteousness of Grandma Bai made him look back at his narrow-mindedness like looking in a mirror again, so he sighed again:
"Be reasonable, repay grievances with virtue, respectable!With such a person, the Bai family will not be finished!”
According to Zhu Shun later, in order to let Bai Yingyuan see his old mother smoothly, Prince Zhan spent more than 20,000 taels of silver to check the prison of the Criminal Department, but in the end he only got Bai Yingyuan's four words:
Prolong life with illness!
In this regard, Prince Zhan also left four words - how can this be reasonable!
Probably because he is not satisfied with the efforts of the Zhan Mansion and himself, right?In the following ten years, under the secret arch fire of Guiwu, Prince Zhan, who was already getting old, was once again returned to the road of paying indiscriminately
first took advantage of his power to continue to pay money to track down the truth about Bai Yingyuan's sudden disappearance;Later, under the instigation of Guiwu, he paid money to invest in the competition of the old Bai family.
After these were dealt with by Bai Wen's second grandmother, he tied up the third master of the Bai family, who had been borrowing the name of Huang Chun and privately pit his family's silver, under the instigation of Guiwu.
Huang Chun is the daughter of the twins born to Da Gege that year, and after being found by Bai Yingyu, the third master of Bai, she has been fostered as a handyman in a church in the capital.
In fact, it is not far from King Zhan's mansion, but Huang Chun doesn't know anything, so Prince Zhan has never seen her, until the Eight-Nation Alliance Army entered Beijing, everyone scattered and fled for their lives, and Prince Zhan walked out of the story line of "Mansion Gate".
And his ending, in the end, was said by the head of the Bai family Hu who fled back to Beijing: Because of his insistence on the main battle, he was used as a scapegoat by the Empress Dowager Cixi and sent to Xinjiang, and finally the prince died on the way to Xinjiang!
Zhan Wangye's life is a story at a rough glance, and it seems to be one ring after another, but in fact, it is not.
After digging deep into all his stories in "Mansion Gate", you will find a very strange phenomenon - as the first villain in the play, all the bad things in his story line are not done by him, but all the orders are bought by him.
The most important thing is that such a prince who is known for his military generals, with both brains and wisdom, has been led by his nephew Guiwu by the nose, why is this?
After carefully watching the final ending of Huang Chun, Huang Li and Guiwu, you may also understand: The real number one villain of this drama is not Zhan Wangye at all, but Wu Beile Guiwu behind Wang Ye.
The prince is just a hollow person pieced together by Guo Baochang, and the secret that his behavior does not match his IQ is also here.
His story, as if it is true, or not, is false and real, true and false, all just to illustrate the background of the "official family".
