"Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" is a costume TV series set in the Tang Dynasty. Although it does not directly name the dynasty, through the details of the two dramas and the dictation of the protagonists, the audience has already speculated that the era in which Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming lived was After 710 AD.
In 710 AD, the "Tang Long Coup" occurred in the Tang Dynasty.
htmlIn 1712, Tang Ruizong gave the Zen throne to Li Longji. This was What happened after the first case of the second season, "Conquering the Demonic Transformation", was at the same time that Lu Lingfeng was demoted to Yunding and started his journey to the west.The Tang Long Coup was a palace coup jointly initiated by Prince Li Longji of Linzi and Princess Taiping in the imperial capital Chang'an City on June 21, 710, the first year of Tang Long's reign (July 21, 710). Li Longji ended with the imperial army killing Queen Wei and Princess Anle, and completely wiping out the Wei Group. The consequences of this coup were that Li Chongmao, who had been on the throne for less than a month, abdicated, Li Dan was restored to Tang Ruizong, Li Longji was established as the crown prince, and Princess Taiping became more powerful.
According to historical facts, Princess Taiping and Li Longji were in a stalemate. In July of the second year of Xiantian in 713 AD, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty sent troops to kill Princess Taiping. The death of Princess Taiping finally ended the years of chaos in the court since the Zhongzong Dynasty.
In other words, at the end of the second part, Lu Lingfeng, who returned to Chang'an, will soon face a coup, experience a violent storm, and lose his mother.
As for the emperor Li Longji, everyone knows that he really worked hard in his early years and created the "Kaiyuan Age". At that time, foreign countries came to worship, and the Tang Dynasty became a multi-ethnic country with a vast territory, a developed economy, prosperous commerce, and people living and working in peace and contentment.
But in the later period, he reused eunuchs, neglected government affairs, favored traitors Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, etc.; doted on Concubine Yang, coupled with policy mistakes and re-employed An Lushan and other ethnic groups outside the Great Wall in an attempt to stabilize the Tang Dynasty's frontiers, which resulted in eight years of The Anshi Rebellion in 1988 paved the way for the Tang Dynasty to turn from prosperity to decline.
Li Longji was born on September 8, 685, and died on May 3, 762. Lu Lingfeng studied with the prince and grew up with the prince since childhood, which means that he was born at the same age as Li Longji. Lu Lingfeng was about 27 years old at the beginning of "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories".
The Anshi Rebellion occurred from December 16, 755 to February 17, 763. If Lu Lingfeng lives a long life, he may experience the Anshi Rebellion. You may also experience the battle of Chen Taoxie. And he is more likely to see his proud dynasty turn from prosperity to decline.
Lu Lingfeng’s growth, from serving the country to loving the people, from working for the country wholeheartedly to always keeping the people in mind. I can't imagine how miserable he was in his later years, seeing the devastated mountains and rivers, and seeing the people he loved living in dire straits.
Su Wuming was Di Renjie's disciple. According to the inference that Di Renjie was born in 630 and died in 700 , Su Wuming should have been born around AD 680, a few years older than Lu Lingfeng.
The two brothers traveled throughout the Tang Dynasty together, solved mysterious cases together, did practical things for the people, and helped the Tang Dynasty. During the second season of
, the audience was particularly worried about the ending of Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming.
Fortunately, screenwriter Wei Fenghua gave fans of the drama a reassurance.
He responded that Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng would stay in the Kaiyuan era forever. According to the traditional way of writing, Lu Lingfeng's destiny will be set at the battle of Chen Taoxie. Lu Lingfeng and Xue Huan were holding knives, back to back, without help, and surrounded by thousands of enemies. But he thought that genre literature was more important to create a splendid and self-sufficient world. So the detective team will stay in Kaiyuan forever. Just like "The Story of the Pillow", the Anshi Rebellion did not happen in the space there.
The reality is hard enough, but everyone will be happy if they accompany each other.
Xiaoqing has to say again that being a fan of "Tang Dynasty Strange Stories" is really a blessing.
When watching traditional costumes, especially dramas with names in history, the most worrying thing is that the characters will inevitably lead to a tragic ending.
But now the screenwriter is willing to give his characters a transcendent ending. Art comes from life and is higher than life.
I wonder if you think Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming have a happy ending? Welcome everyone to leave a message in the comment area, and thank you for your likes, forwarding, collection, and following
