Is Wang Zhi the villain?
Judging from the trailer, Wang Zhi's character is so mysterious that it is difficult to guess. However, he has a good relationship with Tang Fan and Suizhou. The three have a close working relationship. The three most important roles in "The Fourteen Years of Chenghua" are them. Many viewers are curious about whether Wang Zhi is a villain. In fact, he is not a villain. Although Wang Zhi is quite deep in the city, he can distinguish black and white, and he is more measured. Wang Zhi has archetypes in history, and friends who understand this period of history will certainly not be unfamiliar with him, then what kind of person is Wang Zhi?
Wang Zhi is not a villain in the play, but he is also 100%. Good man, he has done good things but also made mistakes. Wang Zhi is a character who likes to lift the bar but still cares about the country. He has both the cute and interesting side and the righteous and evil side. Together with Tang Fan and Suizhou, he formed the Chenghua men's group to explore the truth behind the complicated and confusing cases.
Wang Zhi in "The Fourteen Years of Chenghua" corresponds to Wang Zhi, the first factory father of Xichang in the Ming Dynasty. In history, Wang Zhi was a cunning and clever eunuch who was good at observing words and colors, and knew how to make the emperor happy.
Because he was favored by the imperial concubine and the emperor, his life was like hanging out. Although he was an eunuch, he was still able to rise up and become the most powerful eunuch in the palace. In history, Wang Zhi was only fifteen or sixteen years old when he was the governor of Shangxichang. He was really young and promising, and he was very successful.
Ming Xianzong set up the West Factory in the 13th year of Chenghua and ordered Wang Zhi to take charge of the West Factory. Xichang belongs directly to the emperor and is in charge of severe torture. All ministers who have committed crimes in the court, no matter how old the officials are, Xichang has the right to torture them severely. As the governor of Xichang, Wang Zhi also offended many courtiers for this, forcing the head of the cabinet at that time to co-sign the six Jiuqing to the emperor, asking him to remove Xichang.
Wang Zhi’s life can be said to have been ups and downs. From being favored by the emperor and commanding Xichang, he was later able to take over the military power of the Ming Dynasty, and then he was impeached, fell out of favor with the emperor, and was demoted to Nanjing. In eight years, when Wang Zhi's life began to be frustrated, he was only in his twenties.
Wang Zhi's ending revealed
Wang Zhi finally achieved his goal. He is different from Tang Fan and Suizhou. Wang Zhi is more ambitious. Although the three of them have different ideas, they can get along with each other.
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were two historical figures named Wang Zhi. One of them was the eunuch Wang Zhi who appeared in the play, and the other was the sea smuggler Wang Zhi in the late Ming Dynasty.
Pirate Wang Zhi from 1501-1559, now She County, Anhui. Many people are aware of the incident of the introduction of muskets into Japan. The Ming government promulgated a maritime prohibition policy that led to the mid-range of maritime trade, while Wang Zhi assembled a group of people and some Japanese Ronin to form a smuggling team. Wang Zhi also claimed to be the king of Huizhou. .
Later, Wang Zhixing was exposed, and Zhejiang Governor Hu Zongxian and others carried out an activity to recruit Wang Zhi. Unexpectedly, Wang Bengu was captured by Zhejiang patrol officer. In the end, Wang Zhi was executed.
Wang Zhi’s surname is Wang. Some Japanese records have introduced Wang Zhi. Some scholars have found that he may be maternal Wang when conducting maritime trade, but he claimed to be Wang Zhi. This is not described in detail in historical materials.
However, the eunuch Wang Zhi and the sea robber in "Fourteen Years of Chenghua" are not alone. Wang Zhi in the play is the founder of Xichang in the Ming Dynasty. Everyone knows that the East and West factories were very famous in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor established the East and West factories to balance the power of the DPRK and China. This Wang Zhi was sent to the palace since he was a child, and he has seen all kinds of intrigues in the palace for a long time. At first, he served with Concubine Wan Gui, and was appreciated by Ming Xianzong, step by step to the position of Xichang factory.
In the thirteenth year of Chenghua, Ming Xianzong established the West Factory in order to restrict the various forces in the DPRK and China, and let Wang Zhi be the leader. At this time, Wang Zhi is undoubtedly the red man in the eyes of Ming Xianzong, and he is also the minister of the court. Those who fawn on one after another can be said to have the wind and the wind or the rain and the rain. However, Wang Zhi was later sent to guard in Liaodong, and he lost the trust of Ming Xianzong. He was impeached by Dongchang Shangming and disappeared in history.
