I believe that many friends have become fans of the popular costume drama "One Thought Guanshan" recently. The ruthless character Xiao Yan, played by Chen Duling, has been one of the most popular characters in the show since its launch. This woman who looks soft on the outside actually has a ruthless heart.
The love between children and other matters is not important to her at all. Rights are the top pursuit in her life. Even the emperor in a foreign land and the child in his belly were just bargaining chips for Empress Xiao to fight for power.
01 A woman without emotions
Xiao Yan has a good background. She is the noble queen of the Wu Kingdom, and she has the desire to stand proudly on the top of power. Although he is gentle and affectionate, he hides his fervent ambition beyond the tenderness in his heart.
As the mother of a country, she is as gentle and graceful as a spring flower, but this is just a decoration hidden under lies and illusions. When the emperor was imprisoned in Anguo and her child was about to be born, she took the opportunity to dream of stepping onto the throne. This woman with a cruel heart was full of expectations, hoping that the team of envoys who went to Anguo to welcome the emperor would carry the imperial edict and hand over the inheritance of the title to the baby in her belly. Her ambition is really big!
Seeing this, I think all smart readers have begun to understand why Xiao Yan did not worry about the emperor of Wu State after he became a prisoner of war, but focused more on passing the throne. It seems that in this woman's eyes, as long as the throne falls into her hands, it doesn't matter whether the previous emperor is dead or alive. What she is really worried about is the ownership of the throne.
02 The Evil Woman's Plan
Xiao Yan adopted a series of insidious methods in order to become the queen mother. She took advantage of Yang Ying's innocence and her love for Zheng Qingyun, making the former believe that only by participating in the Emperor's Envoy could she obtain the status of a real princess.
Then, Xiao Yan supported Yang Ying to become the envoy to welcome the emperor and arranged the mission's actions. In the process, Yang Ying heard the truth explained by Ren Ruyi, making her feel desperate and deceived. In order to maintain her status and control of power, Xiao Yan did not hesitate to let Yang Ying, who was disguised as a man, die, and planned to push her husband to death after the truth was revealed so that she could become the Queen Mother of Wu Kingdom. This move of hers is very sinister! Let’s look at the analysis!
Let’s review the vicious woman’s plan! Yang Ying gave up her escape mentality and began to assume the role of a princess. Under the guidance of Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi, she finally realized that in times of national crisis, as a princess, she should stand up for the sake of livelihood and the common people. However, her decision was born out of innocence and naivety. Believing Xiao Yan's lies, she embraced the beautiful dream of being with her beloved Qingyun, and decided to become the envoy to welcome the emperor regardless of her personal safety.
She expressed her wishes to Xiao Yan, who immediately beamed and took her to express her support to the court officials. King Danyang asked her many times, and she firmly insisted on her choice. However, when she finally heard the truth, she was filled with shock and panic.
03 Complex Characters
Yang Ying began to understand the mission she shouldered. For the sake of the world and the country of Wu, she was determined to show her ambition. The plot reveals Xiao Yan's ruthless true face step by step, which can be said to be a slap in the face to Xiao Yang's innocence!
She actually sent Yang Ying to die, just to consolidate her position and hold the imperial power in her own hands. When King Danyang found Xiao Yan, he actually expressed his love for her and claimed that he could make her a queen, but Xiao Yan coldly refused. She claimed that she would become Queen Mother and remain in power for decades before handing over power to her children. Her coldness and cruelty are beyond people's imagination.
When we treat Xiao Yan, we should analyze it objectively. If we use today's moral ethics to look at it, there is no doubt that she is a vicious, inhumane woman who is completely worthy of our criticism. However, if we stand in the old society of ancient times and combine it with the historical conditions at that time, we cannot simply say that this is a bad woman. She also has her own difficulties.
If a weak woman does not use very strong means to protect her rights and interests, it will be very difficult for her to survive in the palace. It seems that she is aggressively carrying out various conspiracies step by step, but in fact she looks like a weak woman trying her best to protect herself.
