Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

[Some people say that Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were the last glimmer of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the last struggle of this regime that had lasted for a hundred years.

Of course, we all know that this last glimmer was successfully suppressed by Wanyan Gou.

Similar things also happened in the Jin Dynasty, and the man was called: Wanyan Chen Heshang.

After the Mongols destroyed the Song and Jin Dynasties and established the Yuan Dynasty, zaju flourished. At that time, many zaju based on history appeared. The most typical one was that many classic songs were born on the basis of the Song Dynasty's play on the Three Kingdoms.

For example, "King Guan's Single Sword Meeting", "Zhou Yu Visits Lu Su", "Liu Xuande Drunkenly Walks Away from the Yellow Crane Tower", "Guan Yunchang Single Sword Cuts Four Bandits", "Zhuge Liang Hangs Up His Seal to Anger Zhang Fei", etc.

It is also relatively free to adapt many popular works such as "Dong Zhuo Plays with Diao Chan", "King Guan Beheads Diao Chan Under the Moon", "Shou Ting Hou Beheads Guan Ping in Anger", etc.

These eventually formed the basis for Luo Guanzhong's creation of one of the great books in the early Ming Dynasty, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Well, but this is a bit off topic. In the Yuan Dynasty, there was more than one theme for creating zaju, and there was a play called "Baiyueting" at that time. The background of the creation was the Mongol-Jin War. In the drama background, a Jin army was mentioned more than once.

"Three thousand loyal and filial soldiers, everyone is brave and brave, and everyone is in the lead"

"How funny, foreign demons, how can they be compared to our three thousand loyal and filial soldiers"

And this loyal and filial army was the last time the Jin Kingdom was in glory. 】

"Early Ming Dynasty? Luo Guanzhong?"

"Why do I seem to have heard this name somewhere."

The emperor of Ming Dynasty stood up suddenly.

Now he is very sensitive to the news related to the Ming Dynasty.

No matter what mountain spirits and ghosts this thing is, he is very concerned about its authenticity.

If it can be confirmed, the Ming Dynasty needs to prepare early to face the pirates coming from the sea a hundred years later.

If he could prove it was false, he would have to chop the strange screen with his own hands to make fire for the porridge he would drink tomorrow.

So he immediately thought hard, trying to dig out the name that he had a vague impression of in his head.

"No, we have to send someone now..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was resolute and decisive. After thinking hard but to no avail, he immediately wanted to send someone to check the details based on this name, and then he heard the queen say leisurely:

"Shi Naian."

"Hmm?" The emperor looked back tomorrow.

Empress Ma did not keep the secret and explained:

"I remembered that when I read "The Moon Worship Pavilion", this drama was written by Guan Hanqing. At that time, Guan wrote four folds and one prologue, which was about the lady Wang Ruilan and the poor scholar Jiang Shilong knowing each other and falling in love. Every time I picked it up, I liked to turn a few more pages."

So the emperor's expression softened tomorrow. He didn't like to watch this kind of love story, and the loyalty and righteousness of Liu, Guan, and Zhang in the Three Kingdoms was more to his taste.

But I have also heard some of this story from my wife. That lady is like my wife. On the contrary, my family background is not as good as that of the poor scholar. However, in terms of achievements, his reconstruction of the country is much better than that of the poor scholar.

So Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became more relaxed. Although he had some guesses about the surname, he still pretended to be ignorant and asked:

"What does it have to do with Shi Naian?"

"After the remnant Yuan fled north, I entered Yingtian Prefecture and got a newly revised volume of "Baiyue Pavilion". It is very beautiful. According to the gifter, it was written by Mr. Naian."

Empress Ma said slowly:

"I asked about it at that time, and I learned that Mr. Naian died of illness three years later. It is said that he wrote "Liangshan Biography" based on "The Story of Xuanhe in the Great Song Dynasty" during his lifetime."

"But his student refused to show it to others. This student is named Luo Guanzhong."

So the emperor suddenly realized:

"I remember now. Could this Shi Naian be Shi Zi'an, who was under Zhang Shicheng and won the Jinshi in the Hu Yuan Dynasty?"

"Sister, you are really our female Zhuge!"

Empress Ma listened to her husband's loud praise with a smile, and did not point out the little thoughts behind it, but just explained:

"Mr. Naian and Luo Guanzhong probably feared being held accountable for their early surrender to Zhang Shicheng, so they retired to write books. If you invite me..."

The emperor waved his hand with great pride:

"Zhang Shicheng surrendered to Hu Yuan for fear of defeat. After being defeated by us, he was only scolded by Li Xiaohe, and then he cried, went on hunger strike, and hanged himself."

"We are too lazy to care about such a young lady, so how can we implicate her old subordinates?"

"Don't worry, sister. Although I can't visit you three times, I still know to treat you with courtesy."

...

"When have I ever been angry with the military advisor for resigning?"

Zhang Fei touched his head and was very concerned about this matter.

"I don't even know where the Yellow Crane Tower is, how can I leave drunkenly?"

Liu Bei was also very depressed, and felt that the name of this story seemed to be out of the question.

Lu Su's mouth curled up slightly, and he sighed sincerely:

"I really want to see with my own eyes how Zhou Gongjin visits me."

"That's fine!" Zhang Fei shouted:

"This Guan Da Wang and Shou Ting Hou should be my second brother."

"How could my second brother kill Ping'er? Who is this Diao Chan?"

"What kind of adaptation is this? It's more like a random fabrication!"

"The military advisor is regarded as a demon, which may be this kind of random fabrication!"

Kong Ming was not too angry, or since he knew that he would be regarded as a demon in the eyes of future generations, he was prepared in his heart.

At this time, he could still ponder for a while without any waves and said:

"Diao Chan... I wonder how Madam Du is doing."

When Lü Bu was besieged in Xiapi, considering that his general Qin Yilu was promised by Yuan Shu a wife who was a daughter of the royal family and was famous for her beauty, General Yunchang asked to marry her to keep the Han Dynasty's face.

However, after the city was captured, Cao Cao broke the agreement and sent someone to take her away as a concubine.

Kong Ming had not experienced this personally, and his master told him about it as an interesting story in his spare time, and he sighed about the fickleness of fate.

Hearing the sigh of the military advisor, Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows and sighed:

"That Qin Yilu is a pitiful person."

The reason is simple. After Mrs. Du was taken as Cao Cao's concubine, her original husband Qin Yilu also surrendered to Cao.

Later, Liu Bei and Dong Cheng conspired to kill Cao, killed Che Zhou and controlled Xiapi.

When Zhang Fei was walking in Xiaopei, he passed by Zhi County and saw Qin Yilu, who was the county magistrate at the time and was still loyal to Cao, and provoked him to rebel against Cao:

Someone took your wife and made her the leader?

How could there be such a cowardly thing in the world! ?

Just join me in rebelling against Cao! (Follow me)

Qin Yilu agreed immediately, but regretted it not long after leaving the city. Zhang Fei was worried that he would surrender to Cao again, so he killed him.

Some old things passed in my mind, looking back at the autumn of the Central Plains.

Hearing the military advisor sighing like this, Zhang Fei also understood a little:

"Military advisor, do you think this Madam Du is Diao Chan?"

Kong Ming shook his head and whispered:

"I don't know... I just suddenly thought of the rumor that Lu Bu turned against Dong Zhuo because of an affair with his concubine, or this was the beginning of this change."

"It may be like the Xixia princess assassinating Genghis Khan. Although she was a woman, she wanted to restore her country, so she used her body to alienate him."

Zhang Fei was silent.
