Cui Shanggong, formerly known as Choi Seong-geum, is the tallest palace in the sixth generation of Cui Shi family. In the last few years of his life, he was the highest-ranking palace maid in the imperial court and an important figure in the Cui family. For her, family honor represents the highest of all supreme interests, and she can give up everything to defend family honor. Then, after a thunder, the supreme interest she fought for vanished in an instant. Wealth, power, family, nothing is eternal. When she let go of her hand tightly, there is nothing.
Just like Chang Jin was crushed in the last confrontation, what brought the empress to this point and what caused her to become like this?
Walking to the edge of life cliff, Choi Seong-geum looked back on his life and worried about that moment. Park tomorrow sees the moment in his eyes and remembers it in his heart. This moment was regarded by Choi Seong-geum as the source of all his sins.
The darkness of the Cui Shi family
According to the tradition of Cui family, every girl must do a great thing after becoming a wife to consolidate her loyalty to the family. What Choi Seong-geum's aunt asked her to do was to add something harmful to her health. This is the first time that Choi Seong-geum has used diet as a tool to achieve political goals. Unconsciously, she carried out the tradition of Cui family for many years, that is, relying on the important position of the chef, taking diet as an undetectable weapon and killing people invisibly, thus achieving the purpose of political struggle. Choi Seong-geum must do this if he wants to be a person in his family who can shoulder heavy responsibilities.
Choi Seong-geum, who just became a chef, calmly fiddled with the food while preparing it. She really didn't expect that her actions were firmly pegged by a pair of eyes behind her, and my wife Park Tomorrow's fate in the chef was related to the fate of Choi Seong-geum, and the trajectory of her life took a huge turning point from here.
Out of justice, Park Myung-yi reported Trine's behavior to Wen Gong. That night, she was secretly lynched. Choi Seong-geum stood next to the highest palace, proving that Park Myung-yi was having an affair with a man, and that Myung-yi was given drugs to die. Choi Seong-geum's eyes have a little panic and unbearable. Back to her residence, she tearfully asked her aunt why she wanted to kill Park Tomorrow and keep her secret. My aunt scolded me severely: I am so weak, how can I protect my family status in the future!
Choi Seong-geum's aunt, the fifth house of Cui's family, gave her an enlightenment lesson. The ancestors of Cui family in the Five Dynasties used diet to endanger the health of literati during the change of power between Wenzong and Shizu. At that time, the internal hospital colluded. After King Sai-jo came to power, the Cui family got the position of the highest palace as a hero for the first time. This is the result of Cui Jiazu risking his life to predict the political situation. In the following years, several generations of Cui women entered the imperial palace in turn and took charge of the imperial palace through various means in exchange for wealth and family honor, and then exchanged wealth for more power. This is Cui Shi's survival law, and it is also the fundamental reason why the Cui Shi family survived after several generations of regime changes.
Finally, this task was handed over to Choi Seong-geum. As a descendant of the Cui Shi family, the highest palace breeder in the Five Dynasties, she was almost born with the historical mission of inheriting power and safeguarding the family's glory. Choi Seong-geum played for his family for the first time, almost recreating the works of his ancestors. She won't be without psychological struggle, she won't be unaware of the stakes, she may be naive, she may feel that just this once, she may feel that it doesn't matter if no one sees it.
It happened that someone saw it. As it happens, this person is also a good friend of Choi Seong-geum. Park Myung-yi was executed in private, and Choi Seong-geum cried with guilt and fear to her aunt, who accused her of being too weak. Aunt teaches her family history together with her own struggle history. Choi Seong-geum slowly wiped away her tears, and the road ahead became clear: she entered the DPRK with a mission, and the glory of her family should be carried forward in her own hands.
This is an important turning point in life, from an ordinary servant girl to a Cui Shi descendant with a mission, ambition and ambition. From then on, her heart became cold and hard, her outlook on life was consistent with that of her predecessors, and she was psychologically prepared to link the past with the future.
A great change of fate
Eight years later, Choi Seong-geum successfully became a chef, and took another step towards the goal of the highest job. She developed steadily without much anxiety about the future, until one day, she followed the suspicious Han Shanggong to a residence outside the palace, and the figure in front of her scared her out of her wits. That's Park Tomorrow. He was lynched. It was a face that made her fear and regret day and night.
Min-il is still alive? Min Yi is still alive ... Choi Seong-geum didn't hesitate too much. He hurriedly reported the matter to his younger brother Cui and arrested Min Yi first. In order to save Min Yi, Han Shanggong reported Cui Jia's prisoners to the Forbidden City. Min yi was taken out of Cui's house, and what came in a hurry was. Min Yi has inferred the cause and effect of the incident. She stared at Choi Seong-geum's eyes tightly, and Choi Seong-geum bowed his head like a fire.
There is no time to delay. Choi Seong-geum decisively advised his brother to eradicate weeds. A sharp arrow pierced Park Myung-yi's chest, causing her eight-year-old daughter to die. Park Ming-yi left a suicide note before she died, hoping that one day, her daughter could avenge herself.
Two years later, I began to teach a new generation of successors in the family-Cui. The child is very clever and has won the favor of Choi Seong-geum. After passing my wife's English exam today, according to the family practice, she must finish something to show her mind. Cui Shanggong ordered her to cast spells. Jin Ying is very proud. She flatly refused the order. She said, what about my self-esteem? She stubbornly believes that with her own strength and family power, she can ascend to the highest hall without those intrigues.
Just as her aunt persuaded herself, Cui Shanghong also earnestly persuaded Jin Ying. She laughed at Jin Ying's naivety: Do you think none of our predecessors have the ability to do the highest job? Do you think they can become a public official if they are capable? The imperial court only allows powerful people to exist, so our family can survive until now because they can always see through who is in power. This position can't guarantee our aristocratic status, but it can bring us more wealth than aristocrats. Since you can't have power, you should try to have money, and then.
After years of training, Choi Seong-geum has changed from a soft-hearted and cowardly wife to a heartless woman. Family mission has melted into her blood and become the most important part of her life. Choi Seong-geum's best interests are inseparable from his family.
Cui Shanggong's pride is no less than that of Britain today. She was angry at losing to her humble little wife, Xu Changjin, in the competition for the highest palace. She won the body carving workers and all the kitchen-burning workers to resist, and she almost got it. Finally, Han Shanggong asked for another contest, and Choi Seong-geum actually lost the simple topic of cooking! This is her unbearable failure and unbearable blow. She was wronged to tears. She has superb craftsmanship handed down from generation to generation, and she has a strong family background. She is the most influential young maid-in-waiting in the royal kitchen. How could she lose the game! Besides, this competition should not have been held in the first place. The highest palace was originally from the Cui family and was marginalized in the era of Zheng Shanggong. It should be returned to Cui's family now. But! But in fact, once again in the hands of her Choi Seong-geum!
This is a great shame, more than any blow to her. She sat slumped in the morgue, desperate and lonely. At this time, Jin Ying encouraged her and told her not to give up. Cui women support each other and walk on the road of inheriting the mission. Choi Seong-geum pulled himself together and tried his best to find a chance for Jedi rebirth.
The opportunity has finally come. Cui Shanggong in Taiping Pavilion heard that Zhongzong suddenly fainted in the play. Cui Jiajian suggested that Wu and Hu should take the sulfur duck as a breakthrough, which could not only attack Zhao Guangzu, the political enemy, but also destroy Xu Changjin and others in Han Shanggong.
Framework and cost
Life and death are separated by a prison. Han Shanggong groaned painfully: It's you! You killed min-il! Now you hurt me and Zhang Jin! Cui Shanghong deadpan said: Not me. Choi Seong-geum pretended to be calm, but there was still a trace of anxiety and fear in his eyes.
Many years later, there was another incident in which Zhongzong fainted. Cui's family is in a dilemma. If there is something wrong with the food, their home is the chef, and they will be swept out of the house. If there is no problem with the food, then the sulfur duck in those days was a conspiracy to frame Han Shanggong. Has become a medical woman's constant progress, which proves that it is not the chef's food that has problems, but the milk that Zhongzong drinks. Cui's previous plot about sulfur duck was exposed. Choi Seong-geum has become a prisoner, and it is still such a dual world. Often stop outside the prison and earnestly ask Cui Shanggong and Jin Ying to repent. Choi Seong-geum grabbed the prison fence and shouted in his stubborn voice, "Let Jin Ying go, Jin Ying is innocent." . Even though Jin Ying was sentenced to death, she still held her head high before Chang Jin and refused to repent. Choi Seong-geum is not without self-esteem and pride, but at this moment, it is more meaningful for her to protect Jin Ying and save the family's last fire. She can even give up her self-esteem and pride, and she can sacrifice herself for the best interests of the family.
The sulfur duck incident was completely exposed, and Cui Shanggong hid in the warehouse like a lost dog. When confronted with Chang Jin, Chang Jin asked, "What is it? What brought the queen to this stage? Why did you go through so many dangers and do such a tragic thing? What is the reason, is the queen like this? " Choi Seong-geum lost his voice and shouted, "This is wealth! It is power! It's a family! " Changjin asked, "Are these things more important than your own empress? Is it more important than the life and reputation of the queen? Queen, have you ever thought about your reputation? What will future generations think of you? " Choi Seong-geum said reluctantly, "If you win, my life and my reputation will become dirty and shameful. If I win, I will make a name for myself. This is wealth! This is power! You've never had it. You won't understand! So I don't want to give up my power! " Finally, Chang Jin said, "Now I hope the Empress can let go of your clenched fist and give up wealth and power. Please let go of your clenched fist. You have no power and wealth in your hands, only the tears of those who died with grievances and blood. This is all the queen has in your hands. The emperor has issued an imperial edict to return all the property of Cui Jushu Commercial Group to the country. Cui Jushu and Wu also protected their right-hand men and were transferred to the Forbidden City. "
