In The Journey to the West, Liu Hong killed Chen Guangrui, occupied Yin Wenjiao, the daughter of the Prime Minister, and pretended to be the secretariat of Jiangzhou for more than ten years, but no one found out! At first glance, this bizarre plot makes people feel that what Liu Hong has done is just irritating and hateful, but after careful tasting, you will find huge loopholes in the plot. ?
The first plot loophole
Chen Guangrui went to Jiangzhou to handle affairs, but he didn't even have an attendant or guard?
Chen Guangrui is a secretariat, in charge of the whole Jiangzhou military and political priorities, Jiangzhou local officials do not send your honour to receive, and it is unreasonable to be emotional and reasonable.
How ridiculous is it that the secretariat was killed by a boatman on his way to office? Who dares to be an official in the Tang Dynasty?
Second, structural loopholes.
The book wrote: "Wear official robes and boots, bring official documents, and take Miss Yin to Jiangzhou." Ok ... isn't this bullshit?
Liu Hong is just a right-hand man. On weekdays, he lives by crossing the river by boat for some copper coins. How can he have the courage and ability to pretend to be Jiangzhou secretariat for more than ten years? Besides, Chen Guangrui is a college student, and he has the ambition to become a top scholar and prime minister. How did Hong, who can't read, pretend to be?
Doesn't this mean that "illiterates" pretend to be academicians of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences?
Unless Liu Hong is an undercover genius, how can no one find out? Are all the officials in the Tang Dynasty idiots? ?
Third, logical loopholes.
Yin Wenjiao is the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty. How can she be at the mercy of Liu Hong? With Yin Wenjiao's special status, Liu Hong can be killed whether she goes to the government to complain with drums or writes to the court.
But why didn't Yin Wenjiao act? Why did you indulge Liu Hong for more than ten years?
To say the least, hasn't Yin Wenjiao's father never visited his daughter in these ten years? Don't Chen Guangrui's family walk around? ? Fourth-historical loopholes In order to strengthen centralization in the Tang Dynasty, it was stipulated that state officials should not hold local posts for more than five years. In other words, after Liu Hong worked in Jiangzhou for five years, the court will transfer Liu Hong to other state capitals to report on his work. And in the process of handover, there will be central officials to inspect Liu Hong's achievements during his tenure in Jiangzhou.
Why did Liu Hong in The Journey to the West stay in Jiangzhou for more than ten years, but didn't transfer? Don't old Mr. Wu Cheng'en know history?
If not, how do you explain this conspiracy loophole that Liu Hong has been replacing Chen Guangrui for decades but has never been discovered? ?
Mr. Wu Xianyun believes that Liu Hong has a prominent family background and an absolute position in North Korea, while Liu Hong and Yin Wenjiao have been lovers since early in the morning.
Liu Hong was pregnant with Jiao, so the Prime Minister forced Jiao to throw a hydrangea to choose a relative. Chen Guangrui accidentally received a hydrangea and became Liu Hong's helper. But he was unfaithful to Jiao and pretended to be a boatman on the way to kill and rob his wife.
Because of his father's great influence in North Korea, Liu was able to cross the sea and pretend to be in Jiangzhou for more than ten years. ?
Wu Xianyun's view seems reasonable, but it is also logical and dramatic. But everyone thinks that this view is too subjective and even suspected of over-interpretation.
In fact, there is not only one version of The Journey to the West's book. The The Journey to the West we are seeing now is an "integrated version" revised by Wang, a novelist in Qing Dynasty.
In The Journey to the West's original work, Chen Guangrui was robbed by a water thief when he went to Jiangzhou to report on his work. The water thief only took Yin Wenjiao but didn't kill Chen Guangrui, and the water thief didn't pretend to be an official in Chen Guangrui. I think this is the most logical version, but the integrated version of The Journey to the West written by Wang has many loopholes in the plot.
The bloody story of "Liu Hong's killing" is just a stroke of Wang's "gilding the lily", not the original author's will.
No one will take the "adapted" story as the research object, just as the "westward journey researcher" will not study the Chinese Odyssey in depth, because everything is made up ... Friends who like to study the king version of The Journey to the West can find the answer from their own point of view.
Friends who like to study the original Journey to the West had better go and see Journey to the West, there are 100 copies. There is no role of Liu Hong in The Journey to the West's original works.
