Great Qin Fu Yingzheng put Zhao Ji under house arrest, beheaded 27 ministers, and released a minister
Life isn't perfect, but is there hope for anything to look forward to?
The long-awaited historical drama "Qin Mansion" ended with low ratings, which seems to be disappointing for the show. However, perhaps it is this unsatisfactory ending that makes people see the cruelty of history and even the shortcomings of today's world. The theme of father's love and filial piety in the play is particularly poignant, causing the audience to think: Can compassion resist the erosion of power?
The act of dismembering Chang Yu's body caused an uproar in the court, and Ying Zheng ignored public opinion and put Zhao Ji under house arrest.
In the Qin State, no one could stop Chang Yu from ascending to the throne of power. At first, he was just an imposter by Zhao Ji's side, but later, with Zhao Ji's kindness and his own talents, he gradually rose to the position of Qin minister, almost replacing Lü Buwei as the de facto ruler of Qin.
Chang Yu was born in a noble family in Zhao and was intelligent since childhood. He studied the art of war from an early age, and later literature and history. He learned the skills of spells and face-changing from a hermit, and used these skills to get close to Zhao Zi. His knowledge and skills gradually won Zhao Ji's favor.
However, the good times didn't last long, and Chang Yu got drunk and said that Yingzheng was hers"False Father", which made Ying Zheng very angry. Ying Zheng is a tough guy who can't stand his mother's mismanagement. This time, Ying Zheng realized that Chang Yu was ambitious and would pose a threat to the imperial power. So, Ying Zheng set a trap and killed Chang Yu, not only washing away his authority, but also reminding Zhao Ji: As a mother's son, he can't be blamed for the chaos in the palace.
Zhao Ji was wealthy since childhood, intelligent and beautiful, and won the love of Lü Buwei, and was introduced to Qin Wangzheng. She became King Qin's favorite wife and gave birth to Yingzheng for King Qin. Zhao Ji was beautiful, intelligent, and talented, and became the de facto ruler of the Qin court. Her affection for Chang Yu led to her depravity. If she hadn't made the wrong choice, she could have been in power for a long time and helped Yingzheng.
Chang Yu's death caused an uproar in the palace. The ministers may have been dissatisfied with Chang Yu for a long time, but Yingzheng was born to Zhao Ji, who, like his mother, offended many ministers during his house arrest in Yongcheng - if the King of Qin even wanted to get rid of his own mother, how could he let the ministers go?
Although Ying Zheng explicitly ordered that all those who dared to admonish Zhao Ji be executed, there were still ministers who wrote letters of recommendation to Ying Zheng, hoping that Ying Zheng would forgive Zhao Ji and return to Xianyang. However, none of them expected that in a fit of rage, Ying Zheng would kill these 27 ministers with swords one by one.
Secondly, Mao Jiao's suggestion was sincere, and Ying Zheng was also very relieved about Zhao Ji's return.
When 27 soldiers were killed, Mao Jiao, the 28th strategist, finally persuaded Yingzheng to stop killing.
Mao Jiao walked into the temple and unceremoniously pointed out the thorn in Ying Zheng's heart - you took a false father's wife, imprisoned your own brother, and now moved your mother to Yongcheng, which has violated human ethics. If you continue to be rude like this, everyone in the world will look down on the Qin State, and it will even lead to the destruction of the Qin State.
A few simple words, but Ying Zheng smelled soft. Ying Zheng was silent for a long time, and finally realized that he had indeed made an indelible mistake. He can't go beyond the bottom line of the father-son relationship and the integrity of the monarch and minister. So, he dismissed Mao Jiao, and more importantly, he ordered Zhao Ji to return to Xianyang.
At that moment, the son finally opened his heart to his mother, and the king's heart was moved by the minister. Mao Jiao's touching advice has left an immortal name in history.
The key to Mao Jiao's success lies in recognizing Yingzheng's inner weakness. Ying Zheng is a tough guy, and once he makes up his mind, it is difficult to turn back. But he can't go against humanity and the way of heaven, which is an internal moral constraint that he has to face. Mao Jiao deftly pointed out all the mistakes that Ying Zheng had made, so that he could not apologize.
More importantly, Mao Jiao loudly reprimanded Yingzheng and made him soberly realize his responsibilities as a son and king. As a king, Yingzheng cannot lose the hearts of his subjects, and as a son, he cannot shirk his filial piety to his mother. Mao Jiao's words were like a slap in the face, which made Yingzheng very encouraged.
If Mao Jiao just convinces people with reason and persuades Yingzheng, he may not be able to move Yingzheng's heart. However, he seemed to know what Ying Zheng was thinking, and moved people with emotion to mobilize Ying Zheng's weaknesses. The power of emotion finally forces Yingzheng to give up prejudice and paranoia.
Third, the notes are suspicious, but the image of Mao Jiao is admirable.
However, dates are often difficult to determine. There are different accounts of this story. There is not even a description of this in Sima Qian's Historical Records.
The reason is that this incident has happened for a long time, and the version is difficult to verify. But whether Mao Jiao is really a person or not, Wang Aimin's mobilization spirit has become a good story for the ages. This may be the true meaning of history, not to tell history itself, but to tell a life story that is enough to move the hearts of ancient and modern people.
The authenticity of the tip of the hair is no longer so important. What matters is the spiritual connotation it represents. Kings also have weaknesses, and courtiers are good at taking advantage of the moral reservations in the king's heart, and their wisdom and courage are commendable.
There are many who are dying, but few who can really touch the heart of a king. Mao Jiao succeeded, because he grasped Yingzheng's fatal weakness and opened the king's hard heart with his emotions. This spirit transcends the individual and becomes a symbol of moral strength.
Today, we need the wisdom and courage of Mao Jiao, who lit the flame of hope in the darkness. Only in this way can the true meaning of history be passed down from generation to generation like food that nourishes people's hearts. The slightly tragic ending of "Da Qin Fu" tells us this.
Without a figure like Mao Jiao, Ying Zheng may go further and further down the wrong path. Mao Jiao, with his kind heart, brought Yingzheng back to the right path. This reflects the bright side of human nature, allowing us to see that even in such a dark historical background, there are still people with good intentions who bravely stand up against the powerful and fight for justice in their hearts.
Mao Jiao's story makes us believe that light will eventually triumph over darkness, and light will eventually have to become **. There may not be a happy ending in this world, but as long as we have hope in our hearts and persist in good thoughts, we will definitely find the meaning of life. This is the most valuable spiritual pillar we have gained from the story of Mauggio.
Life isn't perfect, but is there hope for anything to look forward to?
Although the story of Da Qin Fu is not perfect, it reminds us that it is human nature to pursue perfection, but perfection is nowhere to be found. What we can do is to be like Mao Jiao, regardless of gains and losses, and only work hard for that trace of warmth in our hearts. Life may not be perfect, but as long as there is hope, it is worth looking forward to.
