Regarding the interpretation of the ending of "Crane Huating", I have been reluctant to write, neither because there are so many dilemmas in my heart that there is nothing to tell, nor is the pen in my hand where I can't touch the ink.
For 3 days, I have pondered the finale of "Crane Huating" dozens of times. Even word by word, every frame and picture are repeatedly scrutinized, hoping to get the answer I want. The place of helplessness still did not appear between the gods and the mountains and rivers. When there is no way to solve the puzzles, I will read the opinions of the seniors, but they are still some distance from what I think.
Wu Dehou was murdered by the emperor. After Gu Fengen knew the truth, he forced the prince who went to help the spirit to rebel. The prince was loyal and filial, so he and Gu Fengen both committed suicide, Lu Wenxi also After giving birth to the child, he left with the prince. This ending basically restores the original tragedy. The mainstream interpretation is generally consistent with the above, but Xiao Ke has another world in his mind.
is difficult to adjust, maybe the screenwriter foresaw this, so he left an open ending, giving everyone room for imagination. After all, this state of being incapable of love has to make the audience empathize.
Wu Dehou forced the emperor to make a choice between the crown prince and the king of Qi by the danger of Changzhou. The final result was that the king of Qi was reduced to the king of the county and went to Qi to go to the feudal clan. The danger of Changzhou was also resolved by Wu Dehou within half a day.
After the danger of Changzhou was lifted, Gu Fengen was awarded the title of Heyanghou by the emperor by virtue of his military merits. . The emperor was afraid of Wu Dehou's forces in the army, but this arrangement was also helpless. Under the circumstances at that time, if you want to completely eliminate the danger of Changzhou, you must rely on the Gu family army led by Wu Dehou. If the agreement reached with Wu Dehou 20 years ago is torn at this time, it is very likely that the family will be destroyed. ending. Jin Feng Gu Fengen was awarded firstly because he was indeed meritorious and deserved to be commended; secondly, he submitted a certificate to Wu Dehou Na, and once again stated that the Qing Dynasty will live up to the country and the country will live up to his promise.
Therefore, after a year of hard work, Wu Dehoucai finally won a big victory, regained all lost ground, and attacked the enemy a hundred miles. The battle report received by the emperor was written by Wu Dehou’s relatives. The emperor told him the news only when the prince’s morning set. It can be inferred that the report must have been delivered to the emperor the day before, and the prince received it at the next morning. The Jizhanbao said that Wu Dehou was attacked and killed by the enemy on his way back to the city and died for his country. When the mourning came, the Holy Emperor was shocked, and the Crown Prince was even more anxious, vomiting blood.
Who actually killed Wu Dehou? Many viewers insisted that the emperor's secret order Li Mingan did on the way back to the city from Wudehou. But after careful study of the plot, I found that it was unreasonable. The emperor was afraid of martial arts and military power, but it is not easy to kill such a general who has been in the frontier for decades.
Previously, the emperor transferred Tian Changwei to assign Li Ming'an to coordinate not only to relieve Li Bozhou's military power, but also to leverage the mechanism to balance Wu Dehou in Changzhou. But after two crises in Changzhou, Tianchangwei's army was exhausted. Changzhou has always been firmly in the hands of the Gu family army, and no disturbance can escape their eyes and ears, so Li Mingan has no soldiers to send, and no one can use it. Never organize a powerful army to attack Wu Dehou who returned to the city.
And from the battle report submitted by Wu Dehou, we can draw a conclusion: the lost ground will be recovered, but the enemy is still attacked. There is a profound meaning in it: Since the guild has regained the lost ground, why attack the enemy Baili again. There is a saying in the art of war: the poor do not chase, and Wu Dehou is well versed in the art of war and naturally knows this truth. But still leading the army into the enemy's territory, the most direct purpose is to go straight to the emperor dragon and completely solve the threat from the court. Unexpectedly, I was caught by the enemy's trick to lure the enemy into deep. On the way back to the city, I was attacked and killed by enemy troops several times larger than mine. This led to the heroic martyrdom. If only the assassins sent by Li Ming'an could take the head of the general in the army, it would be extremely ridiculous. The emperor had ten thousand reasons to get rid of Wu Dehou, but he would never choose this time. The practice of "doing all the birds and hiding the bows" has nothing to do with the fact that Gu's army will turn to each other. Therefore, it is far-fetched to say that the emperor was the real murderer behind Wu Dehou's death.
If the emperor really murdered Wu Dehou, then send the prince to welcome back the coffin, is it not afraid that the tiger will return to the mountain and let the dragon and the crowd be infinite trouble? On the official road to Changzhou, Wang Weng appeared abruptly. As the servant of the East Palace, he appeared on the official road in casual clothes at this time. Some people speculated that this was Wang Weng's final farewell to the prince, and others speculated that this was Wang Weng's returning home. In fact, the real reason is not so complicated.
That night the prince returned to Lu Wenxi and told her that he was going to Changzhou tomorrow morning. The place at that time was not the East Palace but the home of the deceased, which is Lu Shangshu The previous mansion. Wang Weng must have waited for the prince on the official road after he learned the news. From beginning to end, the prince did not return to the East Palace, but in the early morning of the next day, he took the court commander and other guards and went straight to Changzhou. As a palace member, Wang Weng was a big taboo when he went out of the palace privately, so he changed into casual clothes to cover people's eyes. The prince has been living in the palace for a long time, and now he has gone to Changzhou. Wang Weng has watched the prince grow up since he was a child, and his feelings for the prince are naturally different from ordinary people. Send it for heating. I just hope that the prince will be able to protect himself and the friendship between master and servant.
The prince has been to Changzhou for eight months, and according to the days before and after, Lu Wenxi was pregnant before the prince went to Changzhou. Her confession in front of the Buddha statue was interpreted by many people as saying that the prince is dead and once again unable to fulfill the promise. Lu Wenxi's worry-free is that she will go with the prince after giving birth.
Combined with the above analysis, I think that the ending of the story should be like this: Although Wu Dehou beheaded 30,000 in the enemy mirror battle, he also suffered more than 20,000 casualties and did not harm the enemy's roots, so It was possible for the enemy's main force to attack and kill Wu Dehou. The prince was ordered to go to Changzhou. At this time, the enemy moved southward and once again trapped Changzhou City. So the prince and Gu Jiajun fought side by side for more than eight months, and finally solved the crisis in Changzhou again. Of course, he also missed the promise with Lu Wenxi. After learning that the prince was trapped in Changzhou, Lu Wen used to pray for the prince and his brother to return as soon as possible in front of the Buddha statue. Now he heard the news of their victory. That's why I said that there is no worries about the future and I can accompany the prince in the future.
Gu Fengen’s indifference is justified. He grew up with the prince since childhood, and the two are intimate. But after the baptism of the war, the young Gu Fengen got rid of his childishness, and began to gradually understand the principle that the ruler is the ruler and the minister is the minister. That's why when the prince arrived in Changzhou, instead of helping the prince to dismount, he led the horse. Gu Fengen understood that he was no longer the prince's playmate, but as his courtier. There is a difference between him and the prince, and only by abiding by the duty of the emperor can he not repeat the same mistakes and exchange the suspicion of the emperor. Of course, the prince also understood this, so he didn't call him a good grace but General Gu. He didn't see him in three autumns, and both of them made a difference and found their own identity.
The ending egg, Xu Changping's words in Prince Lin seems to be still holding a big move. Many people guess that there must be a second part that will be left at the end. prompt. But the protagonist of the second part is likely to be the love and hatred of the emperor. After all, the prince in this life is too bitter. If the abuse continues, many people will be resentful and want to send blessings to the screenwriter.
