What is the true historical story of orphan Zhao?
The orphan of Zhao is undoubtedly a sensational and tearful story: the Zhao family was killed by traitors, the orphan narrowly escaped death, eight righteous men went into battle one after another, and the blood feud was finally avenged.

It is earth-shattering affection and loyalty that makes this story sought after by audiences at home and abroad. In it, everyone has found a long-lost "persistence" and "warmth", and their hearts have been comforted again and again.

However, in the process of retelling and accepting again and again, the true nature of history is gradually forgotten and ignored by everyone, and the story repeats itself, becoming history and then becoming a history of trust.

However, is history really so sensational, so sensational and so melodramatic? Under what circumstances did the "Zhao orphan" in history become an orphan? Is the real "orphan of Zhao" in history related to loyalty and loyalty?

Since we are talking about the story of "Zhao's orphan", our first question is, who does "Zhao" mean? It all started in Jin Wengong.

Jin Wengong, named Zhong Er, was the son of Duke of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Zhong Er is famous and has a bumpy and legendary experience.

His rough experience is related to a woman, and this woman is Li Ji.

In a war, as a winner, I got two girls-Sister Li.

Jin Xiangong took them into the harem and loved them very much.

After Li Ji gave birth to a boy, Jin Xiangong decided to abolish the original prince and set up a child in Li Ji to show his love for him.

Of course, the establishment of another prince is a great event, and Jin Xiangong also knows the stakes.

In order to clear the way, he made up his mind to send the princes, including the original prince and Zhong Er, to other places.

Even so, Li Ji still didn't let them go. She did everything possible to make things worse. The prince and Zhong Er had to go into exile in other countries.

This is a long exile.

It was 19 years later when Zhong Er once again set foot on the land of the State of Jin.

Thankfully, after Zhong Er returned from exile, he was declared the monarch of the State of Jin.

In this long exile, Zhong Er has been accompanied by a group of loyal fans.

One of the most important figures who contributed is Zhao Shuai.

How important is Zhao Shuai? An example can illustrate this problem.

When he was exiled to Qi, he was very polite to me. He not only gave him his daughter, but also gave him 80 good horses.

Zhong Er has never been treated like this. So in a gentle and wealthy village, he has lost all his fighting spirit and feels that it is also a good choice to stay in Qi all his life.

He can think so, but his followers quit.

Yes, everyone follows you, that is, you are a promising and promising potential stock. Once stopped in Qi, women enjoyed drinking every day, so they stopped thinking about killing Jin. Everyone has worked so hard to follow you for so many years, haven't they drawn water with a sieve?

At the critical moment, Zhao Shuai made a decisive decision and got Zhong Er drunk with high-alcohol liquor. When he was half asleep and half awake, he directly loaded into the car and pulled out the boundary of Qi.

Zhong Er has been dragged to another country by Zhao Fei after he sobered up.

Obviously, without Zhao's firm support and their goodwill, the subsequent success would be impossible.

To evaluate Zhao's failure in the words of Historical Records is: "Wen Gong returned to China and dominated the world, so he wanted to defeat Zhao." So, when Zhong Er became the monarch, Zhao Shuai, who made the greatest contribution, was named the original city doctor, representing the state government of the State of Jin in the court, and suddenly became the state official of the State of Jin.

Zhao's successor is his son. After Zhong Er's death in Jin Wengong, Zhao Dun continued to act as the agent of the State of Jin, assisting Duke Xiang of Jin, the son of Jin Wengong.

Two years after Zhao Dun presided over the National Government, Duke Xiang of Jin died.

The death of Duke Xiang of Jin gave Zhao Dun a big problem and had a serious impact on Zhao Dun's later life.

This issue is directly related to the Prince of Duke Xiang of Jin.

The prince of Duke Xiang of Jin is called Gao Yi, who is naturally the father's death. However, because Gao Yi was too young, Zhao Dun felt that children could not take care of themselves. How can he be a monarch? So, he made up his mind not to let the prince take over, and changed the younger brother of Duke Xiang of Jin, the uncle of the prince, and the son Yong, who was held hostage by the State of Qin, to be the monarch.

Idea established, Zhao Dun immediately put into action, in the first place to send envoys to the state of Qin to meet childe harmony.

It can be seen from this move that in the political arena of the State of Jin, Zhao Dun has reached the level of absolute monarch, where he can do whatever he wants.

However, Zhao Dun also has the shortcomings and weaknesses of Zhao Dun.

He is where he is today only because his father followed Zhong Er. To some extent, Zhao Dun can only be regarded as "the second generation power" and "power" rather than "expensive".

Although he is in a high position, he is not related to the rulers.

In a patriarchal society, Zhao Dun is really not an aristocrat.

They don't have enough contacts in Jin politics, and without contacts, they don't have enough strength.

It was this that Prince Gao Yi's mother seized and began to look for Zhao Dun. On the surface, her weapon is tears, but in fact her real weapon is the clan behind her.

Since the prince can be a prince, there must be a group of vested interests behind him.

Perhaps in order to change this situation, Zhao Dun wanted to set up another monarch on the pretext that the prince was too young.

Once this is achieved, Zhao Dun will have the power to establish and decide the country, which will not only effectively change the political ecology of the State of Jin, but also highlight its lofty image.

The forces behind the prince refused to let go, and the prince's mother was even more adamant.

The first thing she does every day is to make Zhao Dun stop crying. When she saw Zhao Dun, she even knelt down, regardless of her identity, leaving Zhao Dun at a loss.

She only asked Zhao Dun a question: "Please tell me what happened to Xiang Gong who just died. Why did you abandon his prince and set up another monarch?" Ask Zhao Dun was speechless.

Zhao Dun was very worried about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt empty. The forces behind the prince and the forces behind the prince's mother are many times stronger than Zhao Dun. If someone else is set to replace the prince, unexpected things may happen.

Zhao Dun was riding a tiger, so he had to change his policy, promised to follow the established policy, and let the prince sit in the throne.

The prince who took over was the later Jin Linggong.

This incident shows that although Zhao Dun is the absolute monarch, he still has scruples and can't do whatever he wants.

After the Prince acceded to the throne, the people who were officially sent to Qin to meet Yong were already on their way home.

In desperation, we had to send another group of people to intercept and kill the group of people who had been sent to Qin to ask Gongzi Yong.

Zhao Dun must clean this up.

It seems that it will not be so easy for such a person to occupy a high position in peace. Since he wants to be an absolute monarch, he cannot be reckless and careless at the same time.

When he was full of ambition, the crisis had quietly arrived-in the eyes of the prince's mother, the prince's supporters, and the prince, later Duke Ling of Jin himself, Zhao Dun was a treacherous villain with ulterior motives and his own enemy.

In this case, how should the slowly growing Duke Ling of Jin handle the relationship with Zhao Dun? Historical records are very intriguing.

When he grew up, Duke Ling of Jin gave up on himself, arrogant and willful, and his behavior reached a jaw-dropping level.

For example, he usually likes to climb to the tallest building in the palace and shoot passers-by with a slingshot.

Pedestrians will dodge around to avoid being shot.

Whenever Jin Linggong sees the pedestrians below panic and flee like headless flies, he will be particularly happy.

Jin Linggong likes food, but he has a big appetite. Once he ate bear's paw, he thought the cook could not finish it, so he ordered the cook to be killed, unloaded eight pieces and put them in a basket for the maids to carry out.

Jin Linggong's debauchery shows an attitude: Aren't you ruling the country in Zhao Dun? I will not cooperate with you, and I will not cooperate with you.

At that time, you even ruined my heart. Why should I echo you from afar today? Faced with this situation, Zhao Dun, who presided over the National Government, only protested from time to time, while Gong Ling sat on the Diaoyutai despite the storm and ignored Zhao Dun's opinions.

One to two, the relationship between the two people has developed to the point of irreconcilable.

This leads to the story in The Orphan of Zhao: Jin Ling sent an assassin to assassinate him, but the assassin who was sent abandoned his son halfway and committed suicide. Zhao Dun was lucky to survive.

If a plan fails, a plan will be regenerated.

In the name of the banquet, Duke Ling of Jin tried to ambush the soldiers to get rid of Zhao Dun, but someone tipped off Zhao Dun in the middle, and Zhao Dun escaped again.

These later became the charges of Duke Ling of Jin, but if we think about it from another angle, we will find something incredible: generally speaking, it is the vulnerable groups who kill people with assassins, such as Yan Taizi Dan asking Jing Ke to kill Qin Shihuang and so on.

As a monarch, Jin Ling used such means to solve the problem, which shows that in the place of Jin Linggong, Zhao Dun has reached the point where it is too big to fail.

Jin Linggong failed twice in a row. How should Zhao Dun respond? Thirty-six plans, walking is the best policy.

So, Zhao Dun escaped.

Zhao Dun's escape was an accident.

As soon as Zhao Dun left, there was a big problem in the state of Jin: Zhao Chuan, Zhao Dun's half-brother, publicly killed Jin Linggong in court. At this time, Zhao Dun has not left the border of the State of Jin.

Hearing the news, Zhao Dun turned around excitedly and returned immediately.

I rushed to the capital of Jin State in the first time to clean up the mess.

He decisively asked Zhao to take his son, Xiang Gong's younger brother and Ling Gong's uncle from the capital of the Zhou Dynasty and let him ascend to the throne. This is the Duke of Jin.

The history books do not record what role Zhao Dun played in the killing of Duke Ling of Jin, but one thing is clear: Zhao Dun participated in the killing of Jin Linggong.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before there was a rumor about this matter in the ruling and opposition circles of the State of Jin.

China people talk about Zhao Dun like this: "As an official, you said you were on the run, but you didn't even leave the country.

If you come back and continue to preside over the state affairs, you won't be prosecuted for regicide, let alone punish thieves. Good for you! "

Therefore, the historians of Jin recorded in the history books: "Zhao Dun killed his king!" It means that Zhao Dun killed Jun.

The historian's name is Dong Hu, and Dong Hu is famous for his adherence to principles in this matter.

Confucius once praised it like this.

Later, Wen Tianxiang also wrote in Song Zhengqi: "In the history of Qi Taishi, in the tiger wall of Jindong." From these, we can see that the world and history are not on Zhao Dun's side.

At the same time, it also shows us that the truth in history is far from the image in The Orphan of Zhao.

Kim died after seven years in office. With the help of Zhao Dun, Jin Chenggong's black-ass son acceded to the throne. He is Kim.

When he was in Jinggong, Zhao Dun died, and his son Zhao Shuo inherited his title. His wife was Chenggong's sister.

At this time, the Zhao family has become a hot force in the political arena of the State of Jin.

However, extremes meet.

After Jin ascended the throne, he wanted to attack the Zhao family.

This matter is very important. Before making up his mind, Duke Jing of Jin obviously made careful arrangements.

First, he selected Tu'an Gu as the pioneer of this operation, and then promoted Tu'an Gu to Scott.

Sheep herder has a higher status, slightly equivalent to Yu Daqing. His main duty is to be in charge of prison, picket and other affairs.

Why did you choose Tu'an Gu? First of all, because Tu'an Gu was a trusted minister of Jin Linggong at that time, he won the trust of Jin Linggong.

Duke Ling of Jin was killed by Zhao Dun's brother Zhao Chuan. Therefore, the dissatisfaction with the Zhao family has a long history.

Secondly, he hoped that Tu'an Gu would create political opinion.

Because Tu'an Gu is in charge of prisons, pickets and other affairs, he is qualified to review the historical events of the State of Jin, such as the retrial of the murder of Duke Ling of Jin.

Tu'an Gu really took the killing of Jin Linggong as a breakthrough, seized on this matter and threatened to punish the culprit who killed Jin Linggong that year.

As a result, Zhao Chuan was doomed. Zhao Chuan is Zhao Dun's elder brother, which will inevitably implicate the late Zhao Dun.

Once implicated in Zhao Dun, then Zhao Dun's son Zhao Shuo is in jeopardy.

Because Tu'an Gu publicly declared: "Although Zhao Dun didn't know it, he was still the first rebel.

The courtiers killed the monarch, but his descendants were still court officials. Obviously, this is unethical and legal and must be corrected. "

This is a natural rebound of the Zhao Dun family's long-term control over the country and state affairs, and it is also an effort made by Duke Jing of Jin to end the situation of losing power.

Obviously, this action of revisiting history is aimed at Zhao Shuo, and its fundamental purpose is to change the contrast of the current political situation in Jin State.

However, through the efforts of Zhao Shuai, Zhao Dun and Zhao Shuo, the Zhao family formed a relatively stable force in the political arena of the State of Jin. In order to reduce the risk of action, Tu'an Gu adopted the tactics of surprise attack.

He led soldiers to attack Zhao in the Summer Palace, killing Zhao Shuo, Zhao Tong, Zhao Kuo and Zhao, and destroying their families.

In this big cleaning, Duke Jing of Jin was not crazy enough to be disowned by his six relatives.

When Zhao was wiped out, Duke Jing of Jin let his aunt live and let her pregnant aunt hide in her palace, so the poor woman saved her life.

Zhao Shuo's wife later gave birth to a baby boy, who will be the famous orphan of Zhao in the future.

His name is Wu Zhao.

This historical fact is the reason why orphan Zhao became an orphan, which can be regarded as a prequel to orphan Zhao.

What fate will this unfortunate orphan Zhao face?

After four generations of savings and development, the Zhao family once again became an important political force in the political arena of Jin State. Zhao, Zhi, Fan, Bank of China, Han and Wei are also called the six Qing Dynasties of Jin.

The six Qing Dynasties intrigued and conflicted with each other. In the end, the Han, Zhao and Wei tribes destroyed the Jin State, divided the territory into three parts and established the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei.

The Zhao family finally defeated the State of Jin and divided it up with others! Here, we still can't see the "loyalty to the monarch" advocated by the drama "The Orphan of Zhao".

"Three clans divided into Jin" is a landmark event, which is generally considered as the dividing line between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The state of Jin was divided into three parts. Since then, three countries have taken its place.

Zhao, the founding hero, the beauty of large-scale history. So what we see in their own recorded history is full of injustice and unfairness. What we see is that they represent justice and morality, and the story of Zhao's orphan has been rewritten, adding elements of opposition between loyalty and treachery to the politics of Jin State, and they always stand on the side of justice.
