Episode 3 of "East Palace": The wall immediately looks at each other from a distance, and the moment they see you and know you, your heart breaks (3)

Gu Jian asked with concern, "How have you been these days?"

Xiaofeng immediately said with grievances, "What else can I do? The wine was spilled and the food was gone. I’ve finished eating, and I’ve finished drinking the water.”

Gu Jian knew that although Xiaofeng was not like the girls from the Central Plains who never left the house, she never went out for so long. , and he was delayed for most of the day because his adoptive father failed to come back on time. When he found Xiaofeng, it was already the fourth day. Therefore, the first thing he did when he saw Xiaofeng was to ask Xiaofeng if he had been there these days. All right? Nothing unexpected happened, right?

Xiaofeng began to feel aggrieved when she saw Gu Jian, the person she had been most attached to since childhood. We agreed to meet in three days, but I only brought three days of dry food, and not enough water, but you haven't shown up yet, which is good. I'm in the desert and I'm all alone. I have nothing to eat or drink. If you don't have anything to drink, how can you be better?

Gu Jian immediately became anxious and said, "Are you hungry?" After hearing Xiao Feng's aggrieved "hmm", he comforted Xiao Feng and said, "You have been wronged. ”

Gu Jian cherishes Xiao Feng so much, how can he bear to wait for Xiao Feng without eating or drinking? He began to repent, it was all my fault that made you feel wronged.

Gu Jian also takes great care of Xiao Feng. He knows what Xiao Feng likes to eat. Later, after he pretended to be an assassin and kidnapped Xiao Feng and left Ming Yufang, he knew how to prepare Huangqi mutton for the hungry Xiao Feng. After Xiao Feng discovered his identity as an assassin, he also wanted to buy Xiao Feng her latest meal for the feverish Xiao Feng. If you like to eat, Wenyuelou’s Double Mandarin Duck Sizzling.

Xiaofeng felt that she was almost out of breath, so she immediately took Master's hand and said to him, "Then let's leave quickly!"

Gu Jian immediately replied He said, "Okay."

This is the first time that Gu Jian wants to take Xiao Feng away, and it is also the most likely time that he can take Xiao Feng away. Because Xiaofeng is wholeheartedly attached to him, does not love Li Chengyin, and just wants to leave with him. Because Xiaofeng was only the ninth princess of Xizhou at this time and had not yet been betrothed to Li Chengyin. As long as they left, the concubine would definitely mediate for them in the palace and let the princesses born to other concubines come to court.

Unfortunately, they were found by the Xizhou cavalry sent by the Lord of Xizhou. The king of Xizhou made up his mind and insisted on Xiaofeng marrying to the Toyo Dynasty. In the view of Xiaofeng's father, Xiaofeng marrying the prince of Zhongyuan would not only be beneficial to the state, but also beneficial to Xiaofeng's happiness.

Faced with the pressure from his father, Xiaofeng immediately grabbed Gu Jian's sleeve tightly, which represented Xiaofeng's dependence on Gu Jian.

Here is the screenwriter's adaptation of the original novel. According to the original work of "East Palace", when Shu Yin and Xiao Feng met the assassin who assassinated the emperor in Ming Yufang, Xiao Feng immediately quit when she saw that Li Cheng Yin wanted to take the emperor's place as a hostage. She wanted to protect Li Cheng Yin. He wanted to be the assassin's hostage himself. Li Chengyin glared at her fiercely, then stretched out his hand and held Xiaofeng's hand. Xiaofeng felt that his palms were hot, but it made her calm down strangely. The writer was hinting that although Xiaofeng and Li Chengyin always quarreled, she actually still relied on and trusted Li Chengyin.

The cavalry from Xizhou surrounded the two of them and said, "Gu Shaoxia, if you stop us today, you might as well kill us, otherwise we will be killed by the king when we go back."< /p>

Of course the guards from Xizhou Palace knew what kind of skills Gu Jian was. Not to mention just a few of them, even if there were twice or several times more people, if Gu Jian wanted to take Xiao Feng away, they couldn't stop him. In order to fulfill the king's order, these guards could only play the emotional card. They said, you are forcing us to die by stopping us from taking the ninth princess back to the palace. It is better for you to kill us with your own hands so that our family can also Get a compensation for dying because we carried out the king's orders. These guards knew that Gu Jian was kind-hearted. They were begging for mercy from Gu Jian and not to stop them from carrying out the king's orders.

As soon as Gu Jian heard this, he hesitated. Although he was good at skills, he had a cowardly and hesitant character. When he rejected A'Du before, he had said that he was afraid that the two countries would not be able to reconcile, and would cause trouble. The border was unstable and the people were in ruins, so they refused to take Xiaofeng away. Now that he saw that someone else would die because of his separation from Xiao Feng, he softened his heart again.

This is where Gu Jian and Li Chengyin are completely different. You know, in order to get Xiaofeng, Li Chengyin doesn't care about the life or death of others, let alone whether others are innocent. After Dan Chi was exterminated, Xiao Feng escaped from Toyo Chao's camp, and Shu Yin led thousands of Yu Lin Lang in hot pursuit. He risked the entire army being annihilated due to the heavy snow sealing the mountains, and insisted on killing Xiao Feng despite the freezing cold of his soldiers. Chase back. In order to close the nine gates on the night of Shangyuan, Shu Yin deliberately set fire to Chengtian Gate. Although there were water trucks and water dragons prepared by Jing Zhaoyin, it must have caused casualties to innocent civilians. However, Li Cheng Yin, a cold-blooded and cold-hearted person, The emperor didn't take it to heart at all.

Xiaofeng felt very sorry to see Gu Jian in such a difficult situation. So Xiaofeng took the initiative and said, "Okay, I'll go back with you.

”

This can be seen as Xiaofeng’s affection for Gu Jian. She does not want her upright and kind master to violate her own rules of life for her, and because Xiaofeng, like Gu Jian, has the same heart. Only those who are honest are willing to go back with the palace guards who accept the king's orders to find themselves. In fact, Xiaofeng and Gu Jian are lovers who have the same three views.

Compared to Gu Jian, it is because Li Chengyin is ruthless. , Xiaofeng will not obey Li Chengyin's wishes. After all, this goes against Xiaofeng's values. In order to protect Xiaofeng, Li Chengyin deliberately killed Zhao Liangdi, who had framed Xiaofeng, and lied to Xiaofeng that Zhao Liangdi committed suicide. After hearing this, Xiaofeng didn't feel that Li Chengyin was venting his anger for him. Instead, he felt that Li Chengyin was cold-hearted and hard-hearted. Zhao Liangdi was the woman he had a long-term relationship with, and he had been in love with her for three whole years. In his eyes, Zhao Liangdi's life was just like a piece of grass. Before Zhao Liangdi died, he estimated that if there was anyone in the East Palace who felt sorry for her death, it would be the Crown Princess. She once wanted to frame the crown prince who was her love rival to death.

The emperor was extremely angry when he learned that his beloved son Li Chengji was assassinated in the west. He smashed everything around him and said. , “Lawless! If you dare to assassinate the prince in the Western Region today, you will dare to kill me in the court tomorrow! "Then, he told all the little yellow gates around him to get out.

On the surface, the emperor believed the news that the prince was killed by the Danchi people. But after careful analysis, it was actually not the case.

1. What the emperor said was that if the man behind the scenes dared to assassinate his prince in the Western Region today, he would dare to kill him as the emperor in the court tomorrow. Is it possible for Dan Chi to be in court? Did the emperor kill the emperor? Even if he did, it was very unlikely that he would come to the capital, so the person behind the scenes that the emperor said was actually someone from the Toyo Dynasty.

2. Why did the emperor let Cao Ji, his most trusted person, quit? Was he still afraid that Cao Ji could not keep secrets for him? Naturally, it was because the emperor was upset. The prince was sent to the Western Region in order to train him and establish his career in the Western Region. In the emperor's heart, the Prince was still his favorite successor to the throne. What was the result? How unjust it was for his own prince to die when he was killed by someone who wanted to support his younger brother!

The queen came to His Majesty’s study with the food box she had prepared for the emperor. Approaching the furious Majesty, the queen said, "Your Majesty, what's going on? Why are you so angry? "

Of course the queen knew about the assassination of the prince, because she and Prime Minister Gao had planned an assassination. Although the assassination was unsuccessful, she could only pretend not to know.

The emperor was angry He said, "Chengji was assassinated in Xizhou. ”

Why didn’t the emperor directly tell the queen that Cheng Ji was assassinated, but only said that Cheng Ji was assassinated? Because His Majesty is still not sure at this time, the two opposing forces in the DPRK - King Zhong and Gao Prime Minister, who assassinated the prince? Of course the emperor knew that the queen was a member of Prime Minister Gao, and he wanted to test the queen to see if this matter was related to Prime Minister Gao.

After hearing this, the queen pretended to be surprised. "What? How could such a thing happen? Then Chengji...how is he doing with Chengji? Are you injured? ”

Although the queen pretended not to know about this matter, the queen still exposed two flaws.

1. If the queen really didn’t know about this matter, when she heard such news, She should have been so scared that she couldn't hold the food box in her hand.

2. It was unreasonable for the Queen to only ask Cheng Ji, not Cheng Yin. Why didn't the Queen ask Cheng Yin? The prince was killed by Gao Xiang, Cheng Yin will be fine.

The emperor said, "Cheng Ji, he is dead. "

After hearing this, the queen showed a shocked expression, and she was so frightened that she dropped the food box in her hand. Through the queen's action, the emperor confirmed that even if Gao Xiang had really If it's not good for the prince, I'm afraid it won't be done. At least, the queen doesn't know about it yet.

The emperor knows that if he wants to know whether Gao Xiang is the murderer of the prince, he only needs to send someone to keep an eye on him. It's enough for the queen to be excessive. If this matter is really related to the prime minister, the queen will definitely want to discuss it with the prime minister.

The queen said uneasily, "Your Majesty, does she know who dares to act so boldly? "

The emperor continued to test the queen and said, "Dan Chi. "After hearing the queen's subconscious question "Dan Chi", the emperor continued to say word by word, "I will make them pay a hundred times the price!" ”

1. Because the queen is a high-ranking person, the emperor will of course put on a show in front of the queen. He will not tell the queen that he suspects someone from the dynasty assassinating the prince and pouring this dirty water on her. When it came to Dan Chi, he thought that he would prepare the conditions for attacking Dan Chi legitimately.

2. The queen subconsciously asked "Danchi", which led the emperor to infer that even if Gao Xiang had really assassinated the prince, he had not done so in the name of Danchi. This matter may really have nothing to do with Prime Minister Gao, but was done by King Xuande and King Zhong. Next, he only needs to be in the court to see who is determined to attack Danchi and avenge the prince. If this matter is related to Gao Xiang, then Gao Xiang must strongly advise the emperor to use Gao Xian to defeat Dan Chi; if this matter is related to King Xuande, then it is because King Xuande strongly advocates the power of war, and Gao Xiang, as the political leader of King Xuande and King Zhong, The opponent will definitely not let King Xuande get what he wants, and must destroy him.

3. The emperor vowed to make Dan Chi pay a hundred times the price, just because the emperor at this time must have made up his mind to destroy Dan Chi. He also knew that he had wronged Dan Chi, but the death of the prince made him famous as a martial artist against Dan Chi, and he was unwilling to let go of this opportunity. The screenwriter used this sentence to hint to the audience that although the emperor valued the prince, he did not let go of the benefits that the prince's death brought to him. What he loved most was power.

After the queen returned to Qingning Palace, she immediately couldn't sit still and wanted to send the female officials around her to invite the high minister. Finally, I thought that she couldn't get into trouble, so I gave it up. The screenwriter used this scene to tell the audience that although the queen occupies a high position, her intelligence is really not as good as that of the prime minister, let alone the emperor. The emperor laid a trap for her so casually, but she took it seriously, and really thought it was the prince Gao Xiang killed. Don't forget, so far, she has never asked about Li Chengyin.

Under the double protection of Chai Mu and Pei Zhao, Li Chengyin finally escaped death and returned to the West Border Anhu Mansion. When Gao Xian heard the news about Li Chengyin's return, he was so anxious that he didn't even have time to wear his sword. He rushed to where Li Chengyin was and went to meet the fifth prince.

The reason why Gao Xian did this was of course because Li Chengyin was the prince supported by the Gao family. He had also been worried that Li Chengyin would not survive the assassination of the prince and ruined the Gao family. Future power. At least at this moment, Gao Xian was sincere to Li Chengyin.

When Gao Xian came to visit, Pei Zhao introduced Li Chengyin, "This is General Gao Xian, the Protector of the Western Territory Anhu Prefecture." Pei Zhao was afraid that Li Chengyin would not know Gao Xian's identity. , so he emphasized to Li Chengyin that General Gao Xian's position was the Protector, that is, the highest military officer of the Western Territory Anhu Prefecture.

Li Chengyin was very polite to Gao Xian. He immediately helped General Gao Xian, who was saluting him, with his own hands. Unexpectedly, he discovered that this man was the one who had a secret agreement with Imoyan and had always raised him. The person who respects Kou.

However, Li Chengyin was very alert. He was just stunned for a moment without revealing any flaws. Of course, Li Chengyin is the one who wants to be the prince!

Gao Xian said anxiously, "Fifth Prince, I have finally found you. The Queen and Prime Minister Gao have been having trouble sleeping and eating recently! Are you injured?" After hearing Li Chengyin lightly say that they are just flesh and blood After the injury, Gao Xian still paid great attention to Li Chengyin's injury. He said, "I brought a doctor to treat your injury first, and then I will ask you about what happened later."

1. From Gao Xian From Xian's words, it can be confirmed that Gao Xian has passed the news with Shang Jing. Gao Xian told Gao Xian that the prince was not killed by Dan Chi, and he received an order from Shang Jing to search for the missing fifth prince. The sentence "The Queen and the Prime Minister have been having trouble sleeping and eating recently" is completely true.

2. When Gao Xian saw that the fifth prince had returned safely, the first thing he had to do was, of course, to heal the fifth prince's injuries. But at the same time, he also had to obey his father's order and find out about them from Li Chengyin's mouth. The story of the assassination that day. After all, Li Chengyin was the only person who survived the assassination. He might know some inside information and hold key evidence for King Xuande to assassinate the prince.

But Li Chengyin said, "I want to go and see the emperor's brother first."

Of course, what Li Chengyin valued most was the emperor's eldest brother who was assassinated. At the beginning, In order to protect his own life, his eldest emperor brother refused to get on his horse and return him to the throne, and died in the hands of the Danchi people. Now that he was back, of course he wanted to see the body of his eldest emperor brother first.

After Gao Xian sent Li Chengyin off respectfully, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Report to Beijing quickly. The fifth prince is safe."

The screenwriter borrowed this sentence, Tell the audience that Gao Xian has actually been communicating with Prime Minister Gao and the Queen to realize the sharing of information. In this chess game, Prime Minister Gao was not at a disadvantage. He knew much more than King Xuande. You know, King Xuande didn't know about Gao Xian's self-respect for raising the enemy, so he couldn't confirm that the emperor deliberately let him go and asked him to destroy Dan Chi. King Xuande thought that his stratagem to conceal the truth had worked, so King Xuande found someone to pretend to be Batur. He even thought that the emperor did not consider himself at all and insisted on usurping power and seizing the throne, and finally died.

Before going to court, Gao Kun, the second son of Prime Minister Gao, helped his trembling father climb the jade steps. The director of photography specially gave Gao Xiang, Gao Kun, King Xuande, King Zhong, and Li Min a panoramic shot, hinting at the treacherous situation in which the DPRK and China were targeting each other.

King Xuande’s party surpassed the high ministers and entered the Taiji Hall first, implying that King Xuande had the upper hand in this contest. Prime Minister Gao glanced at King Xuande from behind, showing an expression of contempt for King Xuande, implying that Prime Minister Gao actually knew very well that King Xuande killed the prince, and even if he temporarily let King Xuande go with the emperor's acquiescence, He will still cling to King Xuande's excuses for the sake of his future affairs.

Above the court, some courtiers said, "This Dan Chi man dared to assassinate my Crown Prince Toyo Chao. This is simply not taking my Toyo Chao seriously!" Another person said, "Dan Chi. The Chi people have been causing trouble on our border. I heard that they were like locusts passing through the border, and the people were already complaining."

1. The first courtier who made the comment must have mistakenly believed that King Xuande had done it deliberately. The evidence left behind by the Danchi people assassinated the prince, or it could be said that he was a member of King Xuande's party, so he made such remarks and encouraged the emperor to send troops.

2. The second courtier who spoke directly introduced the situation between Toyoto and Danchi. Because Gao Xian respected himself by raising bandits in the west, he allowed the Danchi people to plunder the villages on the northwest border like locusts crossing the border. Even if the emperor didn't know about this, he should still understand that the boiling public resentment was shaking the foundation of the Toyo dynasty, and he couldn't ignore it.
