Let's talk about some nonsense first, you can choose to skip it directly, why talk about this "Ming Dynasty 1566", which is known as a domestic drama.
The main thing is that recently, the two ladies in the family have been constantly brushing the Langya list every day, watching the complete TV series, and watching the TV series commentary on platforms such as Douyin at station B. Coincidentally, before watching the Langya list with them, I just brushed the Ming Dynasty again.
Personally, I think that the excitement of the Ming Dynasty is better, and it is worth experiencing slowly. At my instigation, the two ladies also tried to take a look. However, as for the first episode, they didn't watch it for long, and they couldn't watch it anymore, and then gave an evaluation, which was far inferior to the list!
Seriously, the first time I watched it, I was a little confused. Because of this, I decided to talk about this drama, purely as my own impressions, and also welcome readers who like this drama to comment and exchange.
Episode 1
Briefly recall the content of the first episode: a court staff, a pre-imperial financial meeting, the birth of an imperial grandson, a decision to "change rice to mulberry", there is no background of procrastination, eunuchs, strict parties, Qingliu, emperors, and princes appear at the same time.(Here, we want to talk in detail about the first character at the beginning of this drama--- Feng Bao.) "Heroes" have teenagers, take a look at the experience of Comrade Feng Bao, who was a powerful eunuch in the Wanli period and shocked the whole world, and see what is worth learning from).
Zhou Yunyi, a Qintian supervisor, is not good at your weather forecast, so he has to talk about the ills of the imperial court, and the sword is pointed at the emperor.
Just ask: The emperor handed over the errand of interrogating Zhou Yunyi to you, what would you do? If you do better than Feng Bao, then congratulations, you have the potential to become the first eunuch of the Ming Dynasty!
Feng Bao: Why doesn't it snow in the lunar month this year?Zhou Yunyi: "The court spends excessively, the government is greedy for ink, the people are not happy, and the grievances of the **".
Feng Bao: Who taught you to say these things to the emperor?
Zhou Yunyi: I am the ** of Daming, I do my duty, and I don't need others to teach me.
A simple conversation, and then a cane to kill Zhou Yunyi. The picture is simple and the dialogue is simple, but the information about Feng Bao, a future heavyweight, is quite rich behind it. Here we analyze two points:
The first point: Why is it Feng Bao who is responsible for interrogation and not the Criminal Department?At that time, the ministers of the court were either strict or clear, and Zhou Yunyi "slandered" the court, and the direct consequence was that Emperor Jiajing was angry. caused Zhou Yunyi's Qingliu Party to fall into a crisis, and the Yan Party occupied a favorable situation!
Zhou Yunyi belongs to the Qingliu faction, no matter whether anyone instructs him or not, he is Qingliu behind him, and he is King Yu.
And the Criminal Department is now the Criminal Department of the Yan family, and letting the Yan Party try and clear the party, wouldn't it be impossible to add to the crime without excuse, and many people will be implicated. It was originally a warning, but it became a tool for party struggle, which Jiajing did not want to see.
Comrade Xiao Zhou is kind-hearted, but Emperor Lao Tzu is not what you want to scold, and talking about things is Jiajing's true idea.
That's why Feng Bao was allowed to be tried, not by the Criminal Department.
Dongchang is only responsible to the emperor and solves problems for the emperor, so Comrade Feng Bao, the commander and eunuch of Dongchang, it's time for you to work. (Qin Tianjian, Admiral Eunuch and other terms involving the setting and size of the official position of the Ming Dynasty will not be introduced here, and you can introduce it if you feel the need for follow-up).
The second point: Feng Bao's motive behind killing Zhou Yunyi.As an executioner, he can influence Zhou Yunyi's life and death. Obviously, Feng Bao saw the interests of the two parties behind him, and also guessed Jiajing's intentions, so he chose to kill Zhou Yunyi, and had an optimal explanation for all parties!
To Jiajing: I know you're angry, and I also know that you don't want to expand the situation, Xiao Zhou's intentions are good after all. Let you lose face, kill directly, and don't judge anyone else, and that's it, the best of both worlds.
To Yan Dang: You see, I didn't favor Qingliu, I didn't let go until everyone died, it's none of my business! Speaking of which, I'm also righteous enough, and I want to help you see if you can pull out one or two big fish, but I didn't expect that it was useless to kill everyone.
To King Yu (Qingliu): I killed people, and it is better to die than to fall into the hands of the criminal tribe to the Yan Party, and in the hands of the Yan Party, I didn't spit out other people, this matter is not over.
I also have to give an explanation to your emperor father, and this matter can end here. I hope I understand! (King Yu understands and understands, but after all, he is a person from his own faction who died, and he still has some emotions towards Feng Bao).
"All sides are guilty, and the sin is bowing".Afterwards, Emperor Jiajing made a concluding speech on the reason why there was no snow.
It can be seen that in this matter, Feng Baocan's killing of Zhou Yunyi is basically in line with Jiajing's ideas, balances the relationship between the party and the party, no one is offended, and he makes the best decision for himself in a complex situation.
This is Feng Bao's decisiveness in handling things, but immediately after that, he shows us the low-level mistakes he made.
I can't tell the difference between going to the emperor to report the good news to the emperor first, and then going to the celebrant supervisor, this is a common mistake in the workplace--- overstepping.
Feng Bao was still the eunuch of the East Factory at this time, and the celebrant was the leader of your Feng Bao, so if there is a situation, just report directly to the superior leaders.
This is like in the unit, a small grassroots leader directly crosses the middle of a bunch of leaders to find a leader to report the results, you say that the leader is happy, but you can't be blindly happy with you, maybe you don't know who is speaking.
Therefore, Jiajing's mouth didn't open, and he knocked on the artifact in response. Our Feng Bao suffered an old sin, his hot face was pasted on his cold buttocks, but he didn't catch anything, and he said the wrong thing when he returned to the celebrant supervisor.
Subordinates "replace" for the leader, how old are you, and it is your turn to report the good news to Emperor Jiajing for the boss Lu Fang? Comrade Feng Bao's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and Huang Jin, Chen Hong, and several eunuchs who were writing were about to laugh out loud.
Here is a summary of Comrade Feng Bao: one positive and one negative, showing his mentality of eagerly climbing up. It also tells us that excellent people will also make low-level mistakes when they are young, and they will also experience tempering on the way to grow up. At the same time, it also warns us that only by walking steadily can we go far!
What is the Imperial Council?This is a specialty of the Jiajing period, where the ministers deliberated in the court, and the emperor listened behind the scenes, only giving instructions on the results of the discussions. (Just quietly watching you perform).
How did the shortfall of 1,450 taels come about?Comrade Xiao Zhou, who has died, has summed it up very well: "The imperial court spends excessively, and the government is greedy for ink." (Of course, Yan Shifan also elaborated on this number).
It is probably our Emperor Jiajing, who is dedicated to pure cultivation, only plays with power and strategy, does not engage in development, usually repairs monasteries, builds dormitories, and has to deal with wars and natural disasters.
This money is like flowing water, what about making money? The Ming Dynasty was heavy on agriculture and suppressed commerce, and shipping was not available, so the income was definitely not good. You will only spend money and will not make money, which is excessive spending. Needless to say, as long as the imperial court allocates money to the locality, whether it is project money or disaster relief funds, it is a goose plucking. The main reference here is the Yan Party.
Yan Dang and Xu Jie, Gao Gong and other clear streams of formal confrontation.Xu Jie, Gao Gong and others and Yan Shifan made a-for-tat about the huge deficit, and when Yan Shifan showed the butcher's knife, the picture suddenly switched to the crown princess giving birth.
These are all dangerous moments, but behind the danger there is a strong vitality. In the end, the successful birth of the emperor's grandson, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were accused of being Zhou Yunyi's backstage and retreated.
Here we will focus on how these powerful ministers in the Jiajing period and the eunuchs catered to the emperor, played tricks, and achieved their goals!
(1) The peacemaker who fought this time --- the boss of the ceremonial supervisor Lu Fang
Lu Fang directly stated outside the hall before the dialogue and financial meeting outside the hall: My task is not to let Jiajing worry, I hope that both of you will make less fuss about the deficit, pass this pass first, make up for the deficit, and the celebrant and the cabinet will contribute! We have to be in the same boat.
Lv Fang: We have to be in the same boat for big things.Why did Lu Fang choose to act as a peacemaker this time, neither to help Yan Dang, nor to help Xu Jie and others.
It was Lu Fang who had accurately guessed Jiajing's thoughts. From the fact that Jiajing expressed regret for Zhou Yunyi's death in the play, and then looked back here, it can be determined that what Lu Fang said basically meant by Jiajing.
But in the final analysis, whether you buy it or not depends on Yan Song, Xu Jie and others. It is clear here that both sides have their own ideas.
Xu Jie and others: In the name of repairing palaces and disaster relief, you Yan Dang have carried out many projects throughout the year and eaten how many silver taels of the imperial court. You take the money, and you have to carry the empty pot together, and you have to wipe Jiajing's ass together. If you want to settle your account, there is no way, and you even have to expose your behavior. Qingliu actually knows that if he wants to use this thing to beat the party, it must be painless, but at least let Jiajing know that he will be more leisurely next year.(2) The operation of Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinetLu Fang asked the cabinet to report the expenses, but Yan Song's words were obviously not for the people present, but for the behind-the-scenes boss Jiajing!Yan Shifan: It's a pity that Zhou Yunyi hung up without biting out others, the emperor is still angry, you don't obediently cancel the account, and then talk about excessive expenses, just enough to be used as Zhou Yunyi's backstage to cater to the emperor beating the water dogs.
Yan Song: Last year, there was a big drought in two provinces, a big flood in three provinces, several big wars in the north and southeast, and a fire in the palace, so I don't know how to get over this year.
reported what he did for the court last year, and said, "I don't know how to get over this year", and invisibly said that these things were his own political achievements.
Yan Song: Coincidentally, there was no snow in the lunar month last year, and some people used this to slander the ...... of the imperial courtAs long as I do the solid work of my courtiers, my Ming Dynasty can still be prosperous.Then Zhou Yunyi and the snow matter, all the credit will be attributed to Jiajing, and finally he will say: Emperor Shengming, I will definitely follow you to do a good job, Daming will get better and better! The boss behind the scenes looked much better.
Yan Song: Elder Xu Ge, the vote of the cabinet is planned to be with you, you can talk about it, and then submit it to Gonggong Lu for approval.This is the old fritter in the workplace, the fart is over, the leader listens comfortably, and then gets down to business.
The ticket is going to be given to you one night in advance, whether you want to make a fuss about the shortfall, or whether you want to make Jiajing unhappy, it's up to you Qingliu to decide!
The signature is a tacit acquiescence to the Yan Party's greed for ink, so next year the Yan Party will continue to play music and dance.
If you don't sign, you have to say the reason, and the reason is nothing more than Comrade Xiao Zhou's words, Jiajing is still angry, and he is regarded as Xiao Zhou's backstage, that is what you asked for yourself.
In a few words, Yan Song dug a big pit for Xu Jie and the others, and Xu Jie and the others had to jump into this pit. This is Yan Song's ability to control the situation, and he is perfect in his way of scheming, and he controls the situation in his own hands.
(3) Jiajing's debut and Yan Song's big backlash
"I practiced my body like a crane, and there were two letters under a thousand Panasonics. I came to ask Wu Yu to say, the clouds are in the blue sky, and the water is in the bottle".
Gao Gong and Zhang Ju respectively questioned the deficit and put forward the view that "everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted", while Yan Shifan took the opportunity to lead to the Zhou Yunyi incident, pointing directly at the two as the backstage, and even alluding to the second assistant Xu Jie.
At this time, Jiajing Yinshi came out and asked Yan Song about the backstage.
Jiajing: You say, who is Zhou Yunyi's backstage?Here is the most puzzling, even Yan Shifan is a little confused, why did Daddy Yan Song suddenly go against the tune and take the initiative to excuse Gao Gong and others. And when Jiajing said to Yan Shifan, "study hard", I understood how high Yan Song's political consciousness was. Jiajing said to Yan Shifan.Yan Song: There is no backstage for Zhou Yunyi here.
Jiajing: Then why did Zhou Yunyi explain the use of the imperial court last year so clearly?
Yan Song: The court has no selfish accounts, for example. It's all the silver allocated by the Ming Fa Lord.
Jiajing: How can he know the cost of repairing a few palaces in the palace.
Yan Song: This shows that the Ministry of Industry is all open accounts.
When Jiajing said "The clouds are in the sunny day, the water is in the bottle", Yan Song had already understood the meaning of Jiajing's poem.
It can be said that he understands in seconds, so he immediately reversed the direction of the wind, did not use the deficit to get involved with Zhou Yunyi, and stopped attacking Gao Gong and others. (This monastic emperor is best at making his courtiers guess riddles).
Jiajing: The clouds are in the blue sky, the water is in the bottle, some of you are clouds, some people are water, and you are all loyal ministers, no traitors.Zhang Juzheng believes that the Japanese are rampant and the sea is not smooth, resulting in a decrease of 10 million taels a year.
In order to increase income, it is necessary to increase capital and recruit troops, solve the problem of Japanese pirates, and open up maritime trade routes.
However, speaking of this, Yan Song immediately took over the conversation and turned to discuss what to sell to make money, at this time Zhang Juzheng looked confused, when did you Lord Yan and I discuss.
What should have been a discussion of the trade routes of the Japanese and the Japanese became a discussion about what commodities to export to make money and how to produce more silk. So "changing rice to mulberry" came out in this way.
The first time I watched it, I had a big question:
Exterminating the Japanese and opening up trade routes can increase income by 10 million taels a year, why doesn't Yan Song do it?
Later, when I read it again and watched it again, I realized it.
Raising Kou can be self-respecting, the court can't be without the southeast for a day, and the southeast can't be without Hu Zongxian for a day, Hu Zongxian is here, and the Yan family will not fall. This is the real reason behind why Yan Song did not mention recruiting troops to exterminate the Japanese invaders.Personal conclusionJiajing's appearance, the Qingliu Party retreated, and the Yan Party was appreciated by the emperor.
The forces of all parties seem to be being played by Jiajing, but they don't know that he is also led by the nose by Yan Dang and Qingliu.
At this time, Jiajing did not know what kind of turmoil "changing rice to mulberry" would bring to the Ming Dynasty, and a struggle drama around "changing rice to mulberry" officially opened in the imperial court.
The stage has been set up, Hu Zongxian, Hai Rui and many other characters will also appear, the storm will rise, and this episode will end.
