In " Qing Yu Nian ", the four princes of Emperor Qing are more scheming than the last, and their acting skills are better than the last - but through various details, it indicates that their endings are already doomed!
The eldest prince Li Chengru
The eldest prince Li Chengru, whose mother was Ning Cairen, was a prisoner of war in Dongyi. Due to his background, although he was the eldest prince, he was destined to miss the throne. In order to avoid the fight between the crown prince and the second prince, he took the initiative to lead the army outside.
Emperor Qing named him "Chengru" to remind him to always keep in mind Confucianism - heaven and earth, king, relative and teacher, so that he would completely give up on the throne and be loyal only to the person above the throne.
Although the eldest prince had a dispute with Fan Xian as soon as he appeared, he neither followed the prince nor the second prince. He would follow whichever side was more popular, so he survived to the end.
Emperor Qing didn't have much affection for Ning Cai, so the eldest prince was naturally the product of a "night of passion".
When Emperor Qing held a family banquet, the first thing he said when he saw the eldest prince was: "Li Chengru, you are in good spirits!"
The eldest prince bowed to say hello: "I haven't seen you for many years. My father is in good health."
Emperor Qing's words were vulgar: "You can't die!"
On the premise that the eldest princess of Northern Qi had been assigned to marry the eldest prince, Emperor Qing unabashedly declared his ambition: "I want to eliminate Northern Qi from the territory, so as to achieve the purpose of visiting The ultimate purpose of the templeā.
It can be seen that in Emperor Qing's mind, the eldest prince was a "tool man" from beginning to end; and the eldest prince also knew this very well, so he led troops to fight outside to prove that he was still valuable.
The second prince Li Chengze
The second prince Li Chengze, born to Concubine Shu, was the "whetstone" personally selected by Emperor Qing for the prince.
The second prince has no bottom line in his work, is good at calculating people's hearts, and his acting style is too sinister - this is doomed for him to fail to ascend the throne.
With Emperor Qing's vision, wisdom and structure, he would naturally not pass the throne to a person with a gloomy mind and unscrupulous means.
From ancient times to the present, the so-called "wise kings" have always practiced the way of kings, not evil tricks.
There are two bodyguards around the second prince, one is named Xie Bi'an and the other is Fan Wujiu. These are the names of "Black and White Impermanence" - the people they support are destined to go to the underworld.
The Third Prince Li Chengping
The Third Prince Li Chengping was born to Yigui's concubine. He later became Fan Xian's disciple and eventually succeeded to the throne.
The third prince looked like a waste as soon as he appeared. He was knocked unconscious by Fan Xian with a knife. After he woke up, he was fooled by Fan Sizhe with just a few words. He looked cute and cute.
Later, when he met Fan Xian again, he showed his "funny man" qualities and even hid behind the eldest prince, showing his cowardice and timidity to the fullest.
In the subsequent plot, after the third prince became a disciple of Fan Xian, he confessed that he had woken up early when he was in Baoyue Tower, but he did not dare to interfere in the struggle for the throne between the prince and the second prince, so he could only continue to faint.
With the wisdom, scheming and intelligence channels of the crown prince and the second prince, they all believed that the third brother was "innocent and harmless" and did not include him in the category of "competitor" - based on this alone, we knew that the third prince was absolutely Not to be underestimated.
The third prince and Fan Sizhe are cousins, and he enlists Fan Sizhe to become the "behind-the-scenes boss" of Baoyue Tower, and takes the initiative to fall into the second prince's scheme.
Looking back later, it turns out that he "entered into the situation with his own body, deliberately approached Fan Xian, and finally won the victory."
Prince Li Chengqian
Li Chengqian means " inherit the imperial industry and lead the world".
Emperor Qing chose Li Chengqian as the crown prince. In addition to being the queen's son, which was justifiable, there was another most important reason. He had no support from foreign maternal clans, and he was not afraid of "mother relatives usurping power" after he succeeded to the throne.
The queen and her family, played by Yu Feihong, were the main force behind the murder of Ye Qingmei. Chen Pingping and Fan Jian jointly killed the queen and her family, leaving her alone. She was so frightened that she suffered from mental illness and was afraid of the dark all her life. , no matter day or night, they are always lit with candles and drinking to calm down.
As the driving force behind the scenes, Emperor Qing reaped the benefits of killing three birds with one stone: got rid of Ye Qingmei who could threaten his life, cleared out the queen family who threatened his throne, and also laid the groundwork for the crown prince's succession. A clean environment.
Emperor Qing seemed to be taking care of the prince, but in fact he had already arranged "the prince's required courses" to hone his scheming, resourcefulness, structure, and endurance.
The second prince, the eldest prince, Fan Xian and even officials of all sizes are the "tools" used by Emperor Qing to train the prince.
Although Fan Xian was also the son of Emperor Qing, Emperor Qing never had the idea of āāletting Fan Xian inherit the throne, but wanted to train him into a "sharp weapon" loyal to the prince.
Under the training of Emperor Qing, the prince's behavior became more and more like him: in the first season, his behavior seemed to be wild, but it was all a way to paralyze the second prince; he also knew how to control his subordinates, taking advantage of human nature and people's hearts, using both kindness and power, Achieving his own goal is also the prince's main purpose in approaching Fan Xian.
The prince identified the weakness of "Fan Xian is a good person" and constantly exploited it to put Fan Xian in a position of opposition to the second prince, which became a knife in his hand.
Perhaps due to a combination of fear and respect for Emperor Qing, the prince had an "illicit love" with his nominal aunt and eldest princess Li Yunrui. This was discovered and exploited by Fan Xian, who took advantage of the situation and forced the prince to join forces with the grand master. Ku He and Si Gu Jian rebelled.
Emperor Qing was superior in skill and "sacrificed" Hong Sixiang, killing Kuhe in one fell swoop and severely damaging Sigu Jian, making him invincible in the world.
It is worth mentioning that the name Li Chengqian has the same name as the eldest son of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and the ending is quite similar. Perhaps the author Mao Ni referred to the stories of princes such as Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi when planning the outline of the novel.
Conclusion
Looking at "Qing Yu Nian", the person with the highest martial arts, the strongest scheming, and the largest pattern is none other than Emperor Qing!
And in the end, he was shot through the chest by Wu Zhu's laser eye, which was completely a "script kill". Without Wu Zhu, an intelligent robot that transcended the times, the "bug", the direction of the world would have been under the arrangement of Emperor Qing.
Fan Xian is just a wave and a tear left by the collision of the old and the new era.
