Thousands of years later, the remains of the Great Jing Yuan Tian Nian...
There is a hot topic on the Internet recently.
#On the regrets during the Dajingyuantian period#
The topic of historical regrets was very popular online before. A TV station made a special album about historical figures based on this topic, telling the joys and sorrows of historical figures. Many people on the Internet liked to use the pictures to edit videos.
However, the previous historical regret series only talked about individual people, rarely mentioned an era, and even less mentioned the Dajing Yuantian period.
After all, as for the things that happened during the Yuantian period, firstly, the history is very long, and there were many wars during that period, and a large number of historical books were lost, so the authenticity of that period of history is difficult to verify; secondly, for most people, the things that happened during the Yuantian period can hardly be described as "regrettable".
The so-called regrets are mostly due to the turmoil in the family and the country, the insignificance of individuals in the tragedy of the times, or the pain of talented people who were forgotten and played with by fate in the prosperous times.
It is difficult for people during the Yuantian period to have any connection with the above two.
Speaking of national turmoil, Dajing was the first unified dynasty in history and the dynasty where the first emperor was born. Anyone could cause turmoil, but it could not be turbulent at all. It was a destined prosperous era, created by millions of people and a country ruled by one person. It would only be peaceful and prosperous, and there would be no turmoil.
As for the fact that talented people were not appreciated during the prosperous times, it has nothing to do with the Yuantian period. It was an era when talented people were vying for the top. As long as you were willing to serve the country, no matter what field you were in, your arms would be open to you, and all paths would be open. There was no such thing as someone with talent who could not display it.
In that era, even the shadow of the aristocratic villains commonly seen in stories did not exist.
So, how can we talk about regrets in such a brilliant and prosperous era?
But that era had its own unique fragments of sadness. Even if those fragments were insignificant against the backdrop of great joy, their unique colors would still make people in later generations worry.
As a senior high school student, Lin Xiao does not have much free time every day, and she squeezes out all the rare free time she has to study history. She likes the depth of history and likes to watch the lives of historical figures, as if she can draw strength from the magnificent lives of these historical figures to fill the boring void occupied by her studies.
So when the topic just became popular online, Lin Xiao saw it. She used half a day of free time on the weekend to search for related topics on the Internet and watched a lot of videos. Among them, there was a video, which was also the most popular one. She even cried after watching it.
So, what is Yuantian’s regret?
Was it a general who fought for the empire on the battlefield, only to die young in front of the most loyal emperor, with thousands of people weeping and the crown prince carrying the coffin at his funeral?
Is it the Taifu who devoted his entire life to the country, half his life to the people, and never to himself, and finally requested to be buried in the imperial mausoleum but was rejected, and died with his eyes open, and was persistent from black hair to white hair?
Is it the pain of being labeled a treacherous minister, surrounded by rumors all his life, with unclear loyalty and love, crying blood in the emperor's mausoleum before his death, being covered in snow, and dying with gray hair?
Is it the regret of the prince, who was born into the royal family, indescribably noble and blessed by nature, but could not keep his loved ones after spending his entire life?
Was she the emperor's confidant, a woman of great power, a woman born a slave, who served the imperial family all her life, followed two generations of emperors, and died calmly in the court disputes?
He was a young emperor who had competed for power for more than ten years, created a prosperous era, and dedicated his life and everything to the country. However, he lost his most beloved minister and passed away quietly in pain. His life was forged by waves, but it ended in a sloppy tragedy?
Was he a genius who spent half his life frustrated and frustrated, his talents wasted by the infighting in the court? Or was he a scholar renowned for his romanticism, seemingly enjoying the world but actually leading an empty and confused life?
Every time Lin Xiao read a section, he would silently recite one person's name in his mind: Hu Youan, Wen Tao, Gui Yang, Prince Chaoyang, Yanxia, Emperor Zhiwei, Xia Qing, and Qiong Yu.
The names of these people once illuminated an era. Each of them was a winner whose name was recorded in history books. They seemed to have lived a fulfilling life, but in the end they were filled with untold regrets.
Perhaps it is because life is not as we wish and it is difficult to achieve perfection that it is so heart-wrenching and leaves people speechless.
Hu Youan did not die on the battlefield, but died in her best years. Her death triggered all the tragedies during the Yuantian period. Starting from her, those people who were as bright as the sun and the moon passed away one after another.
Emperor Zhiwei succeeded to the throne at a young age. Her mother died when she was young and her father died when she was a teenager. The beginning of her life was really not happy. Only Hu Youan accompanied her in the palace. So after Hu Youan's death, the emperor seemed to have lost his spirit all of a sudden. The historian once recorded that the emperor was often sad when no one was around.
Crown Prince Chaoyang has been the focus of attention since her birth. As the emperor's only heir, every stage of her life is remembered by her subjects. Her seemingly perfect life is actually the heavy responsibility of being the crown prince since she was old enough to understand. She must not make any mistakes in her life, and she cannot even cry out loud when her mother passes away. She is a noble person who should be a role model for the world. She cannot keep all the important people in her life, because even if she is a crown prince and later the emperor, she cannot reverse the cycle of life, old age, sickness and death.
Born a palace slave, Yanxia has witnessed the hidden scheming of the harem, the madness of those who sacrifice everything for wealth and glory. She prides herself on her clarity, devoting all her energy to the imperial family. When the country demands her death, she calmly embraces it, never expressing any regrets. But does she truly have no regrets? Does she dream of the young, ambitious emperor, of herself, tirelessly toiling through the palace?
Wen Tao has been famous since she was a teenager. For the sake of the Wen family and to realize her inner ambitions, she alienated her clansmen and devoted herself to serving the country and the people. It seemed as if her life was trapped in a framework. The only selfish thing in her life was that she did not want to be buried in the Wen family's ancestral tomb, but wanted to sleep in the imperial mausoleum with the monarch she followed all her life. Unfortunately, she did not realize this wish in the end and had to die with hatred.
Gui Yang's birth was wrong. She should have been a descendant of royal nobles, but she was confined by her mother's status and mingled with knights. Because she was the most trusted male minister around the emperor, no matter what she did, people would make fun of her. But he never had a wife or concubine in his life. After the emperor's death, he stabilized the government and assisted the new emperor. When the new emperor was established, he cried blood in pain in the imperial mausoleum and died of a serious illness at the age of forty-two. His love and hatred have been buried since then. No one knows whether the emperor is the unreachable bright moon in his heart?
Xia Qing studied under a great scholar and read widely in ancient and modern times. She obviously had the talent to govern the country, but she served as an official outside for decades and had difficulty entering the central government. When she was old, she finally ascended to the high position she had longed for in her youth. By then, she had long lost the spirit of youth and was very old. The belated favor had long since turned from the cinnabar in her heart into a smear of mosquito blood, which was only an eyesore.
Qiong Yu and Xia Qing are like two sides of a mirror. Both come from prominent families and are equally talented. She rose to fame overnight because of Wen Tao, but this road was not easy for her. Her achievements were often said to be due to marriage and her senior sister. As for what she looks like and how much she has on her mind, the world does not understand and does not care.
In fact, there were many famous people during the Yuantian period, such as Chiwei, Guizuo, Dujuan, Anjin, Huangyu, etc., but their fates were smoother. At least before they died, they could look back on their lives without any regrets.
Lin Xiao collected the video and took it out to watch it repeatedly from time to time. It seemed that from this video, she saw those ancestors through the long river of history.
She wanted to follow the example of those who came before her, succeed in her studies, and then serve her country.
Perhaps if she works hard, she can become one of the historical figures talked about by future generations?
Young people have such fearless spirit. No matter what the future holds, she will never admit defeat!
Lin Xiao watched videos in the middle of the night and got so excited that he got up and finished a test paper. The next day he went to school full of energy. Young people have countless passion and enthusiasm.
When I arrived at school, the first lesson was to recite Wen Tao's article, the first insulting fu in history. It was brilliantly written and meaningful, and of great historical significance, but these could not cover up its shortcomings of being too long and boring.
The excitement he had gotten in the middle of the night had worn off by now. Lin Xiao stared blankly at the three-page fu in his hand, which was filled with densely packed words. There was no appreciation for Wen Tao's literary talent in his eyes, only resentment towards An Gongshou.
Mr. Anshou, if you had died earlier, Mr. Wen Tao would not have to write a fu to scold you, and we would not have to recite this long and boring fu!
As for An Gongshou, he was also a victim, and Wen Tao was the real culprit. Lin Xiao chose to ignore this matter.
How is that possible? It can’t be anyone else’s fault, it can’t be my idol’s fault!
There are many people who hold the same mentality as Lin Xiao. The textbook includes two essays on Wen Tao, one is cursing An Gongshou, and the other is cursing Bei Wang. The essay cursing Bei Wang is shorter and has been learned before, and there is no requirement to memorize it, so there are relatively few students who curse Bei Wang.
However, this fu scolding An Gongshou is of extraordinary significance. Not only should it be memorized, but it should also be memorized with emphasis, and the entire article should be understood thoroughly. Because it is so important, there have been too many questions about it in previous years. During exams now, the question setters' angles are very tricky, for fear that students will understand the question-setting ideas and memorize the answers in advance.
If Lin Xiao were to say, An Gongshou had done all sorts of evil things! It was unforgivable!
In addition to Wen Tao's Fu, Gui Yang, Qiong Yu and Xia Qing all have poems handed down from generation to generation. Their poems are relatively short and not that long. When Lin Xiao recited them, he even had the mind to appreciate the talent of the ancients from thousands of years ago.
In short, An Gongshou has done so many bad things that it is unforgivable!
Today was another hard day. When the evening self-study get out of class was over, Lin Xiao was completely exhausted. He dragged his heavy feet back to the dormitory. He no longer had the enthusiasm he had in the morning. He integrated with the classmates around him and became a slave to study.
I'll watch the video twice more at night, Lin Xiao thought, she urgently needs mental strength!
