Through the expression of TV dramas and works of art, many unknown historical figures are more intuitively and vividly displayed in front of us.
not only enriches the life of popular culture, but also allows us to master more knowledge content . But many TV plots have also passed certain literary and artistic processing and plot creation.
can more coherently and prominently show the protagonist's character and enrich the plot. As a result, the true personalities of many historical figures are masked.
And the four most notorious historical figures in history, after the TV plot was broadcast, they were forcibly "washed white" and became historical figures praised by the people.
So which ones have been "washed white" by TV series? How are their real personalities sometimes?
Ji Xiaolan
Ji Xiaolan, this historical figure can be described as a well-known TV character. Ji Xiaolan, starred by Zhang Guoli and , is selfless, dedicated to the people, benevolent, and deeply rooted in everyone's heart. The real character of
, an unprecedentedly popular historical figure at that time, is very different from the one expressed in the TV plot.
Similar to the TV series, Ji Xiaolan was indeed very smart in his early years, and he was called a "prodigy" when he was very young. After
first entered the official career, Ji Xiaolan is also like a duck to water, serious and responsible, and has achieved quite a lot in literature.
has made great contributions to Chinese cultural history.
provided the basis for the development of Chinese culture for the " Siku Quanshu " and " Notes on Reading Wei Caotang " which he participated in editing.
It can be said that Ji Xiaolan is a cultural master and has made relevant contributions in calligraphy.
But if it is really like the honesty, selflessness and benevolence in the works of art, there are still some discrepancies in the history of Ji Xiaolan.
However, the real Ji Xiaolan is very lustful, and there are even rumors that Ji Xiaolan spends a lot of money for a meal. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it also reflects the difference between him and the characters in the TV series.
In addition, the real Ji Xiaolan in history is not very articulate. Whenever there is a need to debate, Ji Xiaolan will stutter nervously.
In addition, Ji Xiaolan is also very conceited, not as honest and low-key as expressed in the plot.
Everyone has some shortcomings more or less, and the processing of the TV plot just makes the characters look fuller.
Dorgon
When Dorgon is mentioned, many people will think of Da Yuer. In the TV plot,
usually portrays Dorgon as a brave and good fighting image, which has made great contributions to the establishment of in the Qing Dynasty and .
but is that really the case?
The historical Dorgon is not as perfect as the plot. Dorgon is very cruel. Although he paid a lot for the consolidation of the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.
But after the new emperor came to the throne, Dorgon proclaimed himself the "regent", leading many important affairs in the court, and even Dorgon moved the jade seal to his own mansion, completely ignoring the emperor's feelings.
Dorgon at this time is already "under one person, above ten thousand people". Dorgon was nepotism, held great power, and called himself the "Royal Father Regent", and dismissed officials at will.
And after Dorgon's death, many people exposed his crimes of rebellion and listed more than ten crimes.
It can be said that Dorgon in history is not as full as the characters in the plot, and even holds military power and ignores the emperor.
Lu Zhen

After being assigned to Ye Ting, Lu Zhen served as the nurse of Gao Wei, the late master , and has always been by Gao Wei's side, so she also has a close relationship with Gao Wei.
With the succession of Qi, the master Gao Wei gradually came to power, and Lu Zhen's status gradually improved, from a small nurse to "big sister," Shi Yipin, mastered the real power of the court.
Lu Zhen, who has experienced hardships, gradually lost herself after gaining power and began to control the court step by step, killing innocent people indiscriminately, and eventually became the first female prime minister in history.
But after becoming a female prime minister, Lu Zhen was even more presumptuous and killed many ministers. Then Lu Zhen used other mistakes to brutally kill many generals, including Huluguang , the weakening of Northern Song Dynasty 's strength, which also deepened Northern Qi 's rapid demise.
finally with the control of Lu Zhen, the Northern Song Dynasty finally overturned.
Princess Taiping
The Princess Taiping in the TV plot is innocent and romantic, and she is the envy of every girl.
But in actual history, Princess Taiping's ambitions are very big.
Princess Taiping is the youngest daughter of Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong . Because he was the youngest, he was loved by his parents from an early age.
therefore also formed the reckless character of Princess Taiping, which led to the subsequent coup d'état. After
grew up, Princess Taiping was even more powerful and held real power. Because

After the death of Tang Zhongzong , Li Longji became the emperor, and since then she has become even more wealthy and will do anything for power.
But Princess Taiping was not satisfied with this. After Li Longji ascended the throne, she had the idea of rebelling again.
Afterwards, Princess Taiping planned a rebellion in an attempt to gain greater power, but was finally discovered by Li Longji and sent troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion. So Princess Taiping's plan fell through. Princess Taiping, who failed in the
plan, was finally consecrated to death by Li Longji, and her glorious life of power ended here. The Princess Taiping in the
TV series is pure and kind, but in reality, the Princess Taiping is very scheming and will do whatever it takes to gain power.
There are many historical figures in history who are vicious, fickle, and notorious, leading to the downfall of many dynasties. But after the artistic processing of the TV plot, their characters will become full and their characters will become kind and simple.
But in fact it is very different from the real character, irrelevant. The processing of
TV exists in a certain degree of artistry, and its essential purpose is to entertain and watch the public, and it lacks a certain authenticity and history.
So if you want to know the real characters of historical figures, you can learn from the classical books.
