What kind of person is Su Hu in The Romance of Gods?

In the second part of Romance of Gods, Hou Su of Jizhou went to Beijing to pay tribute, which offended the powerful minister Fei Zhong and ghosts because of his little power. When the two of them began to plot against Su Hu, they saw Zhou Wang praising Su Hu's daughter Suda for her beauty. Zhou Wang was very moved and called Su Hu to propose. Su Hu doesn't want to go. In a rage, he dropped his poems and declared that he would never go into business again. It kicked off the battle of Jizhou.

The article is very classical, involving the "three cardinal guides and five permanents" culture that did not exist in Shang Dynasty. It doesn't hurt for the Ming people to read it, because stories like worship of gods are staged around them every day, but people today seem to be unable to accept it.

The Romance of the Gods is a novel, but the novel should be logical, otherwise it will affect its vitality. There are many irrationalities in this story:

1. Su Hu offended You Fei, but they recommended his daughter to Zhou Wang. Wouldn't it be expected that he would be more expensive in the future? The greedy and mercenary characters of the two men portrayed in the novel can't even see through this?

2. It seems that Zhou Wang hasn't fainted to that extent for a long time since she came back from Nuwa Palace. She once thought about choosing women from the people, but when she stopped, why was she so anxious about Su Da, who had never met before?

3. At that time, when loyalists were in court, why didn't a minister come to remonstrate Zhou Wang's behavior? On the contrary, after Jizhou was trapped, Jichang came out and said a lot of things that didn't hurt him, which was hypocritical. Is this reasonable?

The TV series "the new list of gods" may have seen this irrationality and made some changes to this story:

1. Fei Zhong's identity was changed to Su Hu's brother-in-law, so he dedicated his beautiful niece to Zhou Wang to get wealth, which was much more reasonable psychologically.

2. Su Hu and Ji Chang have long been defined as children in-laws, killing three birds with one stone. First, shape the love story between Su Da and Bo Yi Kao. Second, let Su Hu refuse to propose with more confidence. Third, it is more reasonable for Ji Chang to avoid suspicion and dare not rescue.

This reform has many advantages, but it does not answer the latter two questions, which does not help to change the traditional image of Zhou Wang as the "king of chaos and violence", but damages the original image of Su Hu. Moreover, da ji took an examination of Boyi, one lives in the north and the other in the west, which are more than 1000 miles apart. It is too simple to regard their acquaintance and love as parents' orders.

What is the truth of history? There was indeed a Shang Dynasty war against the Soviet Union in history, and da ji was brought back to Chao Ge as a trophy of that war, but the real cause of that war has long been forgotten.

But from the history books, there is a saying in the Shang Dynasty: "The country is the largest, and it only respects and honors." Sacrifice and war are the two favorite sports of Shang people. In addition, at that time, the central government's control over local events was limited, and many countries in the later dynasties repeatedly surrendered and rebelled, and Shang kings also conquered them repeatedly. Therefore, fighting against the Su family is just one of the countless foreign wars in the Shang Dynasty. If it is not a great success, it may not attract attention, and the ministers of the later dynasties will naturally not say much.

This is history, but it can't be written like this when it comes to novels, because it lacks storytelling, and adaptation is necessary.

But how to read the adapted novel? Of course, we can think that Ghosts and Ghosts are as stupid as pigs, as stupid as animals, and Xu's writing is poor, but we must understand that the Book of Gods may be Xu's personal work, but the story of attacking Zhou is the wealth of the Chinese nation, which has been circulating for more than 3,000 years since the Shang Dynasty. Countless ancestors have used their brains and wisdom on this, and there are still many materials that may not be understandable. As successors, we should give high praise to this work, and never throw it aside because of one or two sentences of "poor writing" or turn a blind eye to its shortcomings.

So, what if this matter is better interpreted? I think we should find the best answer from the novel. When the novel has something that can't be discussed, it's best to look for relevant answers in history, which is at least 100 times stronger than modern YY.

Adaptation is necessary, but if it is rough at will, it will easily hurt the original story. This kind of damage can be big or small, and the new list of gods is good. Some works make old ginger into a pervert, and finally turn him into a cyclops, which damages his traditional image of justice in the eyes of Chinese people.

At the same time, the writers of the new era gave these beautiful adjectives, simplicity and kindness, to Zhou Wang and da ji. In this writer's pen, the battle of Shang and Zhou Dynasties has deteriorated. It is no longer that justice triumphs over evil, but that evil triumphs over justice.

From the perspective of the author's personal creation, this is not a mistake, but it is hard to say if it affects the spread of the whole deified story and its positioning in the hearts of the people. I'm not alarmist. Who will attract readers more, an incomprehensible and illogical ancient novel or a touching modern work?

Of course, this attraction mainly refers to those readers who just read for fun, but they are the mainstream for the spread and development of stories. For an inappropriate example, when Journey to the West became the mainstream, who but experts and scholars remembered the true, wise and brave Tang Priest in history? This change was made by the storyteller who made up his mind to wait for the audience before the opening of Master Xuanzang again and again. According to this change, it is only a matter of time before Shen Feng's idea of good and evil is reversed. Subverting the concept of good and evil formed over thousands of years smacks of "not Yue Fei, but Qin Gui", which is not a good thing.

As the saying goes, "There are a thousand Lin Daiyu among a thousand readers". Many people gave their own explanations for Zhou Xiao's impatience. Xu's explanation is that he is dizzy and violent, and the new version is deified because he is lonely, but I have another explanation.

First of all, we should understand what story is described in the Romance of the Gods, which is a story of a wise monarch being destroyed by his own desires. However, it is on the key adjectives of Zhou Xiao's wisdom that the initial description is inadequate. Throughout the book, the image of Zhou Xiao is not only violent, but also stupid. At best, he has some courage. Apart from saying a few good words about him at the beginning, it really has nothing to do with the word "wisdom".

However, the recent description and rewriting have little to do with the IQ and ability of a king.

Let's analyze Zhou Wang's family life first.

Zhou Wang, male, is estimated to be about thirty years old (the child is twelve years old, and the ancients generally married early, which should be the age. ) high IQ, high education, high position, handsome and burly, rich and versatile.

At the beginning of the Romance of Gods, he had three wives, but the number of concubines was less than that of later emperors. (Confucianism later advocated the standardized marriage of monogamy, but for Zhou Xiao's position, exceeding the standard is a fart! Maybe someone will take Su Hu's words to object, and we'll talk about it later. )

Jiang's first wife, current: queen, part-time: the mother of the prince. Born: daughter of Dongbohou. Needless to say, the power of the Houjiang family, the largest vassal state in the East, is second only to the Yin royal family.

Second wife Huang, current position: Queen of Nishinomiya. Birth: Wu, the younger sister.

Huang Jia is also one of the best in China. It is worth noting that, geographically, Huang later went through five passes, passed through jiepai Pass guarded by Huang Zhou, an old man of Huang's family, and then arrived in Xiqiao. They are an important force in western national defense.

Some people may doubt the fighting capacity of the Huang family, but there is a good saying: As long as the Huang family does not meet a magician, it will win every battle, and when it meets a magician, it will win every battle.

Third wife, Yang. Current position: Queen. Origin: unknown.

Yang Fei didn't write it into the history books, but let many netizens who haven't seen the original curse: "TV plays don't respect the original." Judging from the identities of the former two queens, Yang Fei should also be the daughter of a prominent minister. In the book of King Wu's Cutting, the predecessor of the Romance of the Gods, it was mentioned that there was a Nanbohou surnamed Yang. I wonder if Xu Linzhong took this factor into account when writing his novels. From this perspective, Yang Fei is more or less related to the South.

It's like playing mahjong now. Three things are missing one. Let's count: Jiang Hou's hometown is in the east, Huang Fei's father is in the west, and Yang Fei is more likely to come from the south, but lacks the north.

Su Daji is from the north.

Readers who have read novels should not think that Jizhou is a small country. In fact, when Dayu divided the world into Kyushu, Zhong Yi, Southeast and Northwest, Jizhou was one of the two northern states. In other words, it is also one of the best countries in the northern part of Dashang! Only under four conditions.

As can be seen from the following story, Su's father and son are brave and good at fighting, and Bei Chonghou Hu suffered a lot in their hands. If I hadn't had a capable younger brother, I would have been defeated.

How worrying it is to have such a powerful force without a magic weapon to restrict them! Therefore, in the novel, Su Hu dares to do the opposite, writes a big-character poster and slips away.

Some people say that Romance of the Gods is about the Ming society, but I don't think so. At least from the perspective of officials, it is not very close to the reality of the Ming Dynasty. Since the implementation of the Imperial Examination in the Tang Dynasty, local governors have generally been civil servants. In addition to the chaotic years at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was a separation of military and political affairs at the local level, which was nominally controlled by the military, but there were also some.

In fact, the author added a lot of his own imagination to the book. In terms of political description, it is hard to say that his historical knowledge has no effect. After all, the separation of military and political affairs in the Ming Dynasty was contemporary, but the Confucian classics he studied were formed in the pre-Qin era when military and political affairs were unified. He may have been inspired by many records in it and tried his best to wish the scene of Shang and Zhou dynasties, but he was unable to do so.

At that time, the relationship between Yin Wang and neighboring countries was more like that between countries, that is, it was impossible to call around like a dog, and it was impossible to abide by the current peace convention. In order to control them, we have to rely on other methods, and marriage is one of them. This problem can be illustrated by the origin of several concubines in Zhou Wang. Except Yang Fei, Jiang Hou and Huang Fei are from the lobby of the first class.

The marriage between Zhou Wang and Jizhou is a factor, which is my conclusion. But some people will raise objections, because this factor is not clearly written in the novel. However, considering the historical background created by the novel, it is still very possible. Some people may say, why didn't he marry the other three parties first? This question is simple. The relationship between Xibohou and Zhou Xiao is no longer a simple marriage relationship, but has risen to a blood relationship. Besides, not every family has beautiful school-age daughters, which is related to Zhou Wang's own hobbies. Having a beautiful daughter and strength is naturally the first choice.

This is the real reason why Fei Zhong's plan to replace all the women in the world with one woman was accepted by Zhou Wang. In fact, he closely combined with You Fei, and sang a double spring, which confirmed the marriage relationship with Jizhou. In this case, he will actually sit closer. This marriage is actually not Zhou Wang's madness, but his cleverness!

However, this is another reason why Su Hu rejected Zhou Wang. Think about it, in the prime of life, with the respect of Zhou Wang's son of heaven, what conditions are not first-class? If many ministers of later generations were changed, the emperor would be moved to propose to himself, but Su Hu didn't. First, he said brazenly, "There are thousands of concubines in your majesty's palace, up to the imperial court. Feminine and charming, why not please the king's eyes and ears? Is to listen to the flattery of both sides and trap your majesty in injustice. Liu Pu, the daughter of a courtier, is of poor quality, and she is not familiar with manners, nor is she good at virtue and color. Please pay attention to your country, and cut off this slanderous villain quickly, so that future generations all over the world know that your majesty is sincere in cultivating himself and listening to advice. Wouldn't it be beautiful if you weren't the king of lust? "

This is very problematic.

What's the problem?

It was said for the first time that Zhou Wang had three concubines, but when did the harem have thousands of beautiful women? First of all, we should examine what "Yu Yu" is.

Simply put, the harem is the emperor's harem, which has formed a complete system since ancient times. Take the Zhou Dynasty, which is closest to the Shang Dynasty, as an example, it is stipulated that the emperor has a queen, three concubines, nine concubines, twenty-seven concubines and eighty-one concubines. This is stipulated by law, and the total is 12 1. It seems that opening a factory is enough, but it is less than later generations. Especially, several emperors in the Ming Dynasty lived completely freely, and as long as there was a lucky woman, they could all get the title of princess.

If you think that Lao Xu made Zhou Xiao have thousands of wives for no reason, it is a satire on Ming society, you can call here, and the following words are nonsense to you. In fact, many things unique to feudal society are used here, such as the three cardinal guides and the five permanent members. If you want to continue to tell me that you stand at the height of the story world, put aside the history of the Ming Dynasty and fantasize that this story really happened in the Shang Dynasty, please read on.

Although there were many differences between Shang and Zhou Dynasties, people's abilities were limited. It is a myth that Zhou Wang can have more than one hundred concubines now, and it is even more a myth that Zhou Xiao can have thousands of wives. Calculate, the number "number" is at least greater than or equal to two, and Zhou Xiaocai has been enthroned for eight years. Isn't that the groom's official in a day or two? Even if I spend all my time from birth to adulthood, I have to finish it at least once or twice a week to reach such an unattainable number. So it is estimated that Su Hu counted all the ladies in the harem, which means: "There are so many women, if you find one casually, don't hit on my daughter."

Zhou Xiao's reaction is to laugh, but this may mean a wry smile, because Gua Tian Li Xia can't tell anyone clearly. He replied, "Your words are very vague. Since ancient times, it is today. Who doesn't want a woman to be a beam? Women are empresses, and your enemy is the son of heaven; Qing is a relative of the country, showing honor, and more than that! Don't be confused, judge for yourself. " In fact, after saying so much, just one sentence: "I will treat you and your daughter well."

Zhou Xiao has a showdown. Of course, he is bluffing. Will Su Hu, an old politician, not know the meaning behind the marriage between the two families? So he said a word, extending this issue to the political height: "When Xiu De is diligent, all the people are happy, and the four seas will follow, and the sky will last forever. In the past, Xia was out of government, bohemian and bohemian; Only when ancestors are quiet, don't accumulate wealth to become wealth, respect officials with virtue, reward officials with merit, and be generous and kind, can we cut power and spend the summer, win the trust of the people, make the country prosperous, and live our destiny forever. Today, your majesty does not take Fazu, but serves Xia Wang, which is the way to defeat. If people love color, they will subvert the country; QingDaFu love color, will destroy the ancestral temple; Scholar Shu Ren, who loves sex, will be a thief. The monarch is the standard rate of ministers. If you don't follow the path, I will turn it into a traitor, and what's going on in the world will be tolerated! I'm afraid the merchants' inheritance of more than 600 years will go wrong from your majesty. "

Yes, but it's ridiculous to think impartially. Don't say that Zhou Xiao has thousands of wives. Even if she did, Rome wasn't built in a day. Why is there no problem with the first thousand? Why does having another daughter make her horny? Still want to die? This is a complete myth, alarmist!

Old Suman is actually talking nonsense, but it is normal from his point of view. For his daughter and his country, he has his own position. When my daughter was given to you, the fate of our two families was linked. How can I be fooled? But how can Zhou Xiao let him muddle along with these words? So I pretended to be angry and scared him, thinking that he would submit. Unexpectedly, the old man left a doggerel at the door in a rage, used a lot of words beyond time and space, and then ran away.

Based on the whole Su Hu incident, we can clearly realize that the real director is not Fei Zhong's wandering soul, but Zhou Wang himself, because he is the biggest beneficiary of the success of this play, and You Fei only acts according to the needs of his play, so he works so hard to be a good policeman and a bad policeman. From You Fei's standpoint, Su Hu can suffer a lot and please Zhou Wang. Why not? As for Fei Zhong's sharp suggestion that Su Hu has a beautiful daughter, it may be that he took the fall for Zhou Xiao. After all, most of the time, it is a compliment to say that someone has a beautiful daughter at home. Zhou Xiao can blame others and say that I killed him, because you said there was a beautiful woman in his family? Said Su Hu felt his kindness, and people turned around to understand.

Generally speaking, just because Zhou Xiao proposed to Su Hu can't be considered as a lewd and fatuous performance, but later it was different.
