Commentary: Before Meng Xian rebelled (author: I am Le Yi)(1/2)

I haven't read any other historical novels recently, so I read it again. This time I read it carefully and savored some of the foreshadowings, and I found that they all had a purpose.

Last time I read Futian MM’s article on the characteristics of online novels, first-rate rhythm, second-rate plot, and third-rate writing style. Comparing it with Zhumenfengliu, I think it fits the bill quite well. The rhythm is very tight, and sometimes I see some small branches, etc.

After what happened later, I realized that the earlier one was a foreshadowing and not dispensable. Although the plot is based on the approximate time of the Ming Dynasty, you may guess the endings of several historical figures.

But for those main characters, Futian MM is all fabricated, so everyone’s focus is still on these characters to see how they resolve conflicts and disputes, so that they and their families can live better. As for the writing style,

Needless to say.

figure:

Zhu Di: suspicious, violent, murderous, willful

The historical evaluation is that his merits outweigh his faults, even though he usurped the throne. Zhu Di was as scheming as all emperors, and he was as murderous and violent as Zhu Yuanzhang. Of course, he was also a little willful, especially in the later period when he was suspicious and neurotic, and

The almost indulgent protection of one's own children is well portrayed in the novel, and it does not appear hollow. It is really penetrating. Therefore, in the novel, my favorite is Zhu Di.

Moreover, Zhu Di's scheming is far more than superficial as shown on the surface of the novel. At least his preference for the Zhang family is obvious to all. For Zhang Xin, instead of relegating him to Yunnan, it is better to protect Zhang Xin and protect the Zhang family. Maybe at the beginning

Zhang Xin also stepped into the fight for heirs, and Zhu Di also knew that such a thing would happen in the future, so he sent Zhang Xin, who was biased, firstly to protect, and secondly to warn, warn the Zhang family

, because he believed that Zhang Yue or Zhang Fu would definitely understand his intentions and not participate in the fight for heirs.

Therefore, for this rebellion, maybe MM Futian will arrange for him to die two years earlier than in history, and then leave a message to protect King Zhao and King Han.

Yuan Fang: Cautious, clean, and scheming

The leader of the Jinyiwei did not accuse Zhongliang of abusing torture, and the description was almost cute - of course, not to mention his ability - but it should be noted that these are because those people are more or less related to the protagonist, and Zhu Di is also

I don’t want them to be harmed, such as Du Zhen, Meng Xian, and the former prince Xima Yang Pu who has been a warden in Jinyiwei for several years. As for Sun Liang, I think with Jinyiwei’s ability, I am determined to find out what happened between him and Zhang.

The relationship between the family is just a small punishment. As for the rest, I guess Futian MM doesn’t want to put too many bloody descriptions, but then again, this is pretty good, but it is a relatively quiet protagonist; secondly,

, I think because of the lessons learned from the previous Ji Gang, Yuan Fang will be somewhat restrained and will not be as unscrupulous as his predecessor.

As for the relationship with Zhang Yue, firstly it was because of his shady relationship with Zhang You; secondly, because of Zhu Di's attitude of "turning one's back faster than turning over a book", he had to be cautious; and thirdly because of Dongchang's

Established, Jin Yiwei was greatly restrained, and had a somewhat alliance relationship with Zhang Yue. Therefore, the future struggle will be more intense.

And Zhu Di asked him to renew his relationship. You must know that in the position of Jin Yiwei, many things and relationships are not on the table. The fewer people who know, the safer it is. Therefore, unless you know the ins and outs of people who have been getting along with each other for more than ten years, you must not do it.

Accepting a concubine recommended by others, not to mention he has some connections with the Zhang family, and these connections cannot be known to a third party. In fact, Zhu Di knows, so it is even more impossible to accept a concubine recommended by Zhu Di. Then he will only

He can use it as a shield that his wife is dead and will never remarry.

Old lady: enlightened, steady, rational

Throughout countless Qidian novels and various film and television works, the old lady of the Zhang family described by Futian MM is very impressive. She is open-minded, steady, and very rational. Especially when big things happen, she can calm down and analyze

, of course, listening to Zhang Yue's opinions is also a big sign. It can also unite and shock the son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, which is not easy to do in the big houses in ancient times. No wonder Brother Xiaoqi is thinking, maybe

This is probably why the Zhang family remains standing.

The character of the old lady is basically expressed through her language. The words she said to Zhang Chao and Du Wan are still fresh in people's memory. Not only that, the words Mrs. Wang said when she gave birth and later

Having the people below not reveal the information makes me feel that this old lady is really rare. Of course, judging from her actions such as slapping the table angrily, liking to hold family members' hands, and then personally coming to postpone Zhang Chao's marriage, the old lady is definitely a

A powerful person who manages a big family. Her description is the most brilliant, and it’s no wonder she won everyone’s love. I hope the old lady can stay until the end

Du Zhen: Dealing with things in a free and easy manner, indifferent to fame and wealth

Du Zhen has always given people the impression that he is unfathomable. He can predict the ups and downs of the Zhang family - mainly because Zhang Xin was imprisoned and demoted. He has an accurate view of the court and a thorough understanding of Zhu Di. Otherwise, he would

He will not take the risk of coming to Qingzhou to join the White Lotus Sect branch. Moreover, he is not the kind of person who is too strong. He will rarely join the cabinet in the future. It is just that he will probably be squeezed out by Dongchang. After all, Zhang Yue will never follow Dongchang in the future.

The eunuchs were mixed together, so for this father-in-law who could directly make suggestions in front of the emperor after entering the cabinet, he had to calculate the odds. It was just that such a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune would not argue or argue, so he would eventually leave the court and retire to the world. This is also

The best outcome is that I hope I won't die from persecution like Xie Jin.

Du Wan: wise, dignified

Du Wan's appearance gave people the demeanor of a lady, especially when she came out with the princess, the contrast was even more obvious. It's just that she likes Zhang Yue, partly because her mother said it every day, of course,

He is indeed a good person after getting in touch with him. In addition, he was able to propose marriage when Du Zhen was in Jinyi Prison, which shows that the Zhang family is not just trying to cling. Compared to Meng Min, Du Wan is more useful and wise.

Knowing how to advance and retreat, under the influence of her father Du Zhen, she was able to provide help to Zhang Yue. Therefore, Zhang Yue would be indispensable for her support and explanation in those battles in the future. I think Du Wan can be said to be the replica of Du Zhen, but

She is less cold-faced and more cheerful. Therefore, it is precisely because of this that we feel that Du Wan does not have her own character, but lives in the shadow of Du Zhen, but what she does is equivalent to avoiding Du Zhen of Jin Yiwei

Made.

Zhu Ning: lively but not reckless, bold but not careless

In the novel, it is said that Zhu Ning has a beautiful heart, but in fact it is much more than that. It is mentioned many times in the novel that Zhu Ning was raised as a boy since he was a child. Therefore, he is more forthright and informal in speaking and doing things, but he also has the temperament of a daughter, such as being delicate and affectionate.

. And she can think rationally and not be reckless. She can enter and leave the palace at will and get first-hand information, which will be very helpful in the future. But for her marriage, it is now delayed due to conspiracy, and then Zhu Di, or Zhou

Wang's death will continue to be delayed, and then the short-lived Zhu Gaochi's death will be delayed for several more years. Therefore, I think Futian MM will not consider letting Zhu Ning find Yibin so early, um, right?

It can be said that it is reserved for Zhang Yue? Of course, we hope that Zhu Ning will be with Zhang Yue, but as of now, she wants to see Zhang Yue in another way, largely because he is Du Wan's

Husband. Therefore, the entanglement with Zhang Yue will be greater in the future, probably because of the rebellion of King Zhou and the accession of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji to the throne. Looking forward to those contents

Zhang Qing: Capable and considerate

From the beginning, Zhang Qing appeared as a well-educated eldest sister, capable of doing things, especially when she later married into the Meng family. She took over the household affairs of the Meng family by herself, and her mother-in-law's family ran around to arrange the marriage. If something happened, she would do it.

After discussing with Meng Jun, in addition to Meng Jun's sincerity and kindness, Zhang Qing's own understanding and gentleness also helped her husband's family and her natal family more. Here, I am still very happy that Futian MM gave Zhang Qing a good husband.

husband.

However, this time Meng Xian's conspiracy does not involve the Baoding Hou Mengying family, otherwise Meng Jun and Zhang Qing will have to be sent to the army. I hope Futian MM will be merciful and not lose such a good sister.

Xiaowu: pure and clear

Xiaowu is as lively as Zhu Ning, but she lacks Zhu Ning's thinking. She is simpler, or in other words, ignorant. This is why she lives a very relaxed life. She doesn't care about gains and losses. Maybe it's because she doesn't care about gains and losses.

Because of Monk Daoyan's "doing nothing" education, he "always dresses in light colors" every day, very innocent. In this novel full of intrigues, Xiaowu is undoubtedly a bright spot. Well, I hope Futian

MM can give her a good ending

Lingxi: decent, generous, clever

As for Lingxi, it can be said that she is the number one maid in the Zhang family. She was originally the old lady's personal maid. She was fair and unbiased in her dealings. When the old lady was angry, she was the only one who dared to go up and persuade her. Later, she asked the old lady to give it to Zhang Yue, which caused a wave of waves.

, because everyone knew that she wanted to be Zhang Yue's roommate, but Zhang Yue didn't even confiscate the amber and autumn marks, let alone the new arrival? Although she also knew her mission - she probably had to explain it to the old lady before she left.

But she served Zhang Yue like a simple young master, neither preferring nor getting tired of her body, nor rejecting amber and autumn marks. From this point, it can be seen that she is a spirited girl, and she knows that the unity of the family behind is more important than intrigues. Therefore,

, the future general manager must be hers, but after all, she is also a person with high vision. After all, she has been with the old lady for so long, and ordinary servants do not like it. It is probably unrealistic to give it away, and Zhang Yue himself will not want it.

So it’s really difficult to do.

Amber: restrained and sensible.

Some people think it's a bit irresponsible for her not to confess. It should be noted that her Qiu family should have been in Hainan, but she escaped. If someone found out, it might bring disaster to the entire Zhang family. And she also understood

The Zhang family was good to her. If it weren't for her cousin's intervention, she might have been quiet for the rest of her life. Although she could not be as well-dressed and well-fed as the young lady, at least she could live peacefully. Moreover, if she waited until the next emperor

Since she was granted amnesty on her ascension to the throne, family reunion is not impossible. Therefore, her restraint and hiding may be said to be for refuge, but rather for waiting.

Meng Min:

Meng Min, compared to these women, feels a bit like she is not as good as the others. She is not as wise and calm as Du Wan, her service and treatment are not as good as those of Lingxi's girls, her behavior is not as good as the princess's, and her ability to manage finances is not as high as that of her eldest sister Zhang Qing, so

, she will always feel that she has no status when she is with Zhang Yue. If they get together, it will be the time for Meng Min to retire. If this is the case, it is better to send Meng Xian away because of his rebellion. Instead, she can consider letting her go to Jiangnan to manage.

Those industries, but everything is crazy.

Autumn marks:

Qiu Hen is completely an ordinary girl. She is born into a family. Therefore, here in Sanfang, she treats Zhang Yue wholeheartedly. When I think of this sentence, to the world, you are just a person, but to some people, you

But it's the whole world! Zhang Yue is like this in Qiu Hen's heart. Therefore, her little thoughts and tempers only highlight her character. She can be sad, jealous, and fight for favor.

Zhu Zhanji:

For this future emperor, there are not many appearances, and more are side descriptions. Of course, from the current point of view, he is indeed a good friend. Now his relationship with Zhang Yue is more of a friend, and next,

When he arrives in Beijing, he will form an alliance with Zhang Yue in view of the covetousness of several uncles and cousins ​​for the throne.

Tang Saier: alert and responsible

At the beginning, I really didn't like her, but then I realized that she was pretty good. Although she also hated the government, it was only the government and did not involve anyone else. So when she found out that Yue Changtian had betrayed her,

, he wanted to kill Yue Changtian and planned to disband the White Lotus Sect. It can be seen that he is also a responsible person. In addition, he is good at treating diseases. Now he is also connected with the prince of Han Dynasty, and his subsequent development will be even greater.

There are also Wan Shijie and Xia Ji. This brother is Zhang Yue's only confidant. Although not much is written about him, but generally speaking, he is a good person, free and generous. He should have a great performance in the later period.

Zhu Zhanji's mother, Mrs. Zhang, should appear more in the future. She may play the role of the previous Wang Guifei, but of course she will be even more so. Empress Zhang in history was a very capable person. From the perspective of today's novels, she

The description can also be seen.

As for Zhang Yue's parents, they are both lovely people. It is really not easy for them to still be flirting and loving each other in such an environment, especially Zhang You. They will be dug out by Dongchang or Zhang Yue later.

The relationship with Yuan Fang may be another big deal.

The descriptions of some "little characters" are also very good. Although they only show one or two sides, they outline their characters, which is really amazing. For example, Cuimo's family and Jin Sa's family. Compared with the "big characters" in the novel, they rarely let them

People remember it, but it is indeed the promoter of the event.

The characters in the novel are all relatively vivid, and they are not so stereotyped or stylized. I admire Futian MM's skill very much.

Speculations on the subsequent plot:
