Nian Qianyao, the once invincible general, was demoted to a gatekeeper who did not enter the stream, and his hugging and domineering spirit have disappeared. He sat on the ground in tattered clothes, looking a little down, but his eyes still revealed a stubborn light.
At this moment, a shepherd boy came to the singing, and a smile began to appear on his otherwise indifferent face. After their "chess game", Nian Qianyao, who never bowed his head easily, took the initiative to admit defeat with a smile.
Every time I think of this scene, I am filled with emotion.
Why did director Hu Mei spare no effort to depict this plot? Why did the once arrogant young Qianyao bow his head to a shepherd boy and admit defeat? Today, let's work together.
From 1999 to 2020, "Yongzheng Dynasty" has gone through more than 20 years. In the past few decades, countless film and television dramas have come and gone like an hourglass, and have been forgotten by the world.
However, "Yongzheng Dynasty" has lasted for a long time, even in today's developed network information, it has become fashionable to talk about it on the Internet of major ** forums. So, why is this TV series that has been on the air for more than 20 years still so popular?
According to the understanding, "Yongzheng Dynasty" is not only praised for its wonderful storyline and excellent performances of the actors, but more importantly, it is rigorous and self-contained.
Although there are many jokes and fictional historical parts, the whole story is in line with the general trend of history, and profoundly reveals human nature and world affairs. In a self-contained small world, it perfectly displays human nature, intrigue and officialdom, and provokes us to think endlessly.
And a small plot specially added by the director is to show us that life is like chess and human nature is complex. Nian Qianyao went from a coated slave in the Yongwang Mansion to a general in charge of the five northwestern provinces, his "life counterattack" is of course inseparable from the full cultivation of the fourth elder brother and the rare opportunity to create heroes in the current situation, but more importantly, he has an insatiable heart.
Nian Qianyao, a person who is both civil and military, seems to have always wanted to change his fate and take charge of life through his own efforts. He is not willing to live under others, he has always been domineering, and he has been "doing" to prove that he can control his own destiny.
He did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of more than 60,000 people in the northwest to trap and kill Fu Ning'an, who did not obey the command; In order to establish his authority, he even dared to kill the logistics support grain transportation officer; Even, he accepted the kneeling and slapping of the ninth elder brother Yinyu and the Mongolian prince.
In the eyes of outsiders, all this is an act of looking for death, but Nian Qianyao doesn't care. He thought that he had achieved so much that the emperor called him a "benefactor", and he was a "ruler", not a pawn.
However, he may not realize that the emperor only needs one will to turn the general into a gatekeeper. His conceit and arrogance ultimately led to his defeat.
Man, only in the midst of hardship can we realize the true meaning of life. Perhaps it was one afternoon, leaning on the city wall, Nian Qianyao, staring at the sunset in the distance, and heard the melodious song of the shepherd boy in his ears: "Who are Niu Er Niu Er busy for?"
After busy spring ploughing and autumn drying, it is not afraid of wind, frost, rain and snow, and walks in all directions with a bell. Nian Qianyao's heart suddenly opened up, and he realized that life cannot compete with fate, and we are just a chess piece that cannot be self-directed in the torrent of world affairs.
So, what difference does it make if you win or lose?
