Jiajing , as we all know, a "picked up" emperor of the Ming Dynasty . When he succeeded to the throne at the age of 15, when everyone thought that he was a soft persimmon who could be manipulated at will, he showed extraordinary methods and strategies, and it can be said that he was a natural master of power struggle.
During the decades-long process, everyone was pinched by the emperor who seemed to be cultivating immortals but was actually in control of the court situation. Let's analyze and analyze the "pieces" in Jiajing's hands in those years with the drama "Da Ming Dynasty 1566"!
1, the first chess piece is the " strict party ", including Yan Song, Xiaoge Lao, Zheng He Erguan, Ma Ningyuan, etc.
Who are the first "chess pieces" in Jiajing? Yan Song must be the first to bear the brunt. Yan Song has always been a big traitor in the hearts of everyone since ancient times and has never changed. However, "Da Ming Dynasty 1566" gave him a different interpretation. Such a big traitor who is powerful and powerful for a while, we all have many moments. I think he is pathetic.
As we all know, every emperor has his own interests, The first assistant in the middle and late Ming Dynasty , basically every one of them came to the top by catering to the emperor's interest. It is said that Yan Song was favored by the emperor because of his good writing. Besides, it is said that what Jiajing valued most was precisely Yan Song's desire for power, which he carefully concealed.
After you sing, I will come on stage. One of Jiajing's most powerful tactics is to deliberately let several groups of people under his control fight to the death under his own eyes, and he only comes forward to reconcile when the situation is almost out of control. Achieving a situation of mutual restraint and confrontation. It can be seen from the play that Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has indeed reached the point of monstrous power, but he is just a dog who takes care of Jiajing. The greed, his money and status are all obtained by Jiajing turning a blind eye, he knows very well in his heart.
2, this second piece is the so-called "Qingliu faction". The Qingliu stratum represented by King Yu, who has not been very popular with the emperor, includes King Yu, Princess Yu, Xu Jie , Gao Gong , Zhang Juzheng , Zhao Zhenji , Tan Lun , Wang Yongji , etc.
Although Zhang Juzheng has a very good reputation in later generations, he did nothing during Jiajing's succession period. It can even be said that calling him one of Jiajing's chess pieces is a bit of a lift. Xu Jie can be regarded as a relatively powerful figure for the time being, but they all have a common enemy, that is, the strict party. As everyone knows, it is precisely because of this that they have become the most important pawn used by Jiajing to restrain the strict party, because Jiajing has always been very clear in his heart that as long as the Qingliu faction exists, the strict party will never be able to become bigger and stronger in the true sense. , unless the fish die and the net breaks in the end, but he knows that Yan Song does not have the courage.
3, this third "chess piece" represents the father-in-laws in the palace: Yang Jinshui , Chen Hong , Feng Bao , Huang Jin and so on. Although cannot represent the supreme power, it is the existence closest to the core of power. Several of the characters should be fictitious. The large number of plots added to them in the play is mainly to highlight their existence, and the arrangement of their existence as a third party is mainly for the convenience of trying to figure out the holy will, because they are the most trusted ears, eyes and tongues of the emperor. To be able to balance the strict party and the clear flow in the middle so as to achieve a true tripartite confrontation, one is indispensable. Because Jiajing knew that without either side, the situation would be messed up, so he has been carefully balancing all this.
It can be said that Jiajing Yuji has been extremely forty years, and he is also the irrefutable character with the highest emotional intelligence and wisdom in the whole play, no one. All the open and secret struggles are all clear in his heart, but many times he pretends not to know. His control over people's hearts can be said to have reached ato the highest degree.
Looking at the whole drama, we can't help but sigh, we don't even know how to position this Jiajing emperor, who has been misunderstood by history, whether he should be a generation of Ming Jun or a delusional emperor that everyone spurned. I was embarrassed and felt that it was really bad judgment. After all, the Ming Dynasty was not destroyed in his hands. It was really not easy for him to manipulate the "picked up" throne into such a state.
Everyone has a different Jiajing Emperor in their hearts. I don't know what Jiajing looks like in your heart.
