I believe most people think that this is just a story, because in another high-scoring work, Roaring Tiger and Singing Dragon, Cao Cao's means of checks and balances are more like those used by emperors in the past: never let the family dominate, the clan is strong, and Sima Yi checks and balances; Sima Yi was stronger and supported Cao Shuang to get him. Old Liang Wang made Changlin Wang Fu too big and strong, leaving no room for his own children. How can Wang arrange his cronies? And Xiao's support for Wang is too strong When he rebelled, there was not even a diligent king.
The Changlin Wang Fu family is also ideal. According to normal people's thinking, power is as powerful as Wang Changlin's, and it is difficult to avoid a little erosion from the outside world or selfish desires. There are many people with high achievements and power in the ruling and opposition parties. It's really hard not to do anything for Wang Mang.
But it is not without it. If you have to find a prototype for the Changlin Wang Fu family in Nirvana in Fire, the coffee princess thinks it's him:
Guo Ziyi
I believe that people who don't know much about history know that Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were the two great heroes in quelling the Anshi Rebellion. The reason why Li Guangbi's reputation is lower than that of Guo Ziyi is that Guo Ziyi enjoys the reputation of "having the power to pour over the world without avoiding it, and making contributions to a generation without doubting the Lord", which enjoys high prestige and reputation throughout the country.
Bai Yang commented on Guo Ziyi like this:
Guo Ziyi has a lofty position in history, but almost no one can compare with him, but this is not his meritorious military service, nor is he a national security, but he can keep his head from being cut off although he enjoys all the splendor in the world; After death, children and grandchildren will continue to enjoy happiness for decades or even hundreds of years. The strangest fate of China people is that if you don't follow the pattern of those in power, patriotism will become a dangerous behavior. Most people who have made contributions to the country often end up being deported, imprisoned, killed, slaughtered, or suffering for their children and grandchildren after death. Only Guo Ziyi is a rare exception ── at least, he is the most praised. "
Loyal to the monarch does not doubt the emperor, and foreign countries have both prestige and power. Throughout history, Guo Ziyi is the only one. Guo Ziyi had eight sons, all of whom were basically banned. In addition to a grandson, Guo Gang, Guo's eldest son, served as the chief of staff of our time in Shuofang. Du Xiquan, acting as the secretariat of Fengzhou, was rejected after going to Tubo and was sent to the capital to be executed. Almost all the others were appointed generals, and there were some queens.
Throughout the 5,000-year history of China, few people have contributed to the success of Gao Zhen. Even Li Guangbi, who became famous at the same time as Guo Ziyi, was afraid to go to Beijing to meet the sage because of his political disagreement in the later period. Therefore, if we say the prototype of Changlin Wang Fu in Nirvana in Fire, perhaps only Guo Ziyi is the most appropriate in history.
