Chapter 272 Copper! (Continued from the previous chapter title)
Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty.

His nickname is Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Shou of the Ming Dynasty.

During the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, which lasted for more than two hundred years, there was no one among the crown princes who had the most stable position and the smoothest transfer of imperial power (1).

Professional general.

My favorite thing to do is to chop people with a knife.

Personal declaration: "I killed one."

The opening of "Swordsman" takes about ten minutes to tell the life story of General Zhu Shou.

The person Zhou Mo, who played Zhu Houzhao, called out was He Jiong.

The reason is that He Jiong once starred in a TV series called "The Legend of Zhengde".

He played the role of Zhu Houzhao, the Leopard House Emperor in the film.

In this drama, Zhengde said something very classic and outrageous.

"I want to refine copper. Everyone should refine copper. Refine copper! Refine copper!"

When Zhou Mo was choosing the actor to play Zhu Houzhao, he happened to think of this sentence, so he called He Jiong without hesitation and invited him to play Zhu Houzhao.

And the paragraph "I want to refine copper" was added in.

In the feature film.

When Zhengde said "I want to refine copper" in front of the court, exactly ten minutes had passed.

Ten minutes and one second.

That is the next scene.

When Emperor Zhengde passed away, all the ministers cried bitterly.

Liu Shishi looked at the reversal and laughed so hard that she collapsed on Zhou Mo.

"This is too outrageous. Was this part written in your script, or did the director just let it run freely during filming?"

"Of course it's written in my script." Zhou Mo chuckled, "It would be a shame not to use such a good plot design that can bring popularity to the TV series."

Liu Shishi looked at him with a smile: "I knew you did it on purpose... I don't know what Mr. He's mentality was when they filmed this scene."

Liu Shishi did what she thought and immediately logged into the Penguin account and found Zhu Yilong.

Let’s get straight to the point.

"Teacher Ju, do you know how the crew reacted when we were filming this scene?"

She didn't even have to say which part.

At this time, Zhu Yilong must be watching TV too.

After a moment, Zhu Yillong replied.

"...I only know that the weather was very good that day, the sun was a little dazzling, and Teacher He's expression was very complicated, so I couldn't see clearly for a while."

When Liu Shishi saw this, she laughed out loud like a goose.

"I guess Mr. He's face must have turned green when he filmed this scene."

"You're right." Zhou Mo said beside him, and then sent a photo to Liu Shishi.

The photo shows He Jiong wearing a very meaningful dragon robe with a confused look on his face.

Judging from the shape of his lips, it should be the word "copper".

"Huh? Where did you get this photo?"

"The crew of "Swordsman" has a main creative group, and I'm in it." Zhou Mo glanced at Liu Shishi and asked, "Do you want to join? I'll pull you in?"

Liu Shishi took Zhou Mo's phone and took a look at the group members, including Huang Zhizhong, Zhang Zhijian and others.

After thinking about it, he shook his head.

"No, I'm not a member of "Swordsman", so it's not good to join in rashly. If you see any good gods or demons, please tell me." Zhou Mo smiled and said, "I think you are afraid that the big guys in the crew will ask about your homework."

Liu Shishi immediately changed the subject.

"Look at TV, something exciting is coming... Eh? It's so exciting right at the beginning?" Liu Shishi pointed at the TV screen in astonishment.

After Zhu Houzhao's death, the court fell into a brief period of chaos.

A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, but Zhu Houzhao had no children.

According to the Ming Dynasty's rule of "the younger brother succeeds the elder brother", the next emperor should be Zhu Houzhao's younger brother.

It’s a pity that Zhu Houzhao also has no biological brother.

Xiaozong and Wuzong were truly father and son, one had only one child, and the other didn't even have one.

Therefore, the ministers left behind by Zhu Houzhao had to choose a vassal king from among Zhu Houzhao's cousins ​​to be emperor.

But before Yang Tinghe and others could single out the ministers, the censor came forward and impeached Yang Tinghe for monopolizing power and killing Zhu Houzhao.

The censors of the Ming Dynasty had the power to report matters based on rumors, which meant that these guys could report based on rumors even without evidence.

In other words, these people are a bunch of professional trolls.

My daily job is to criticize people.

And the person being criticized can be the emperor, a relative by marriage, a eunuch, or a court official.

This time, the censors criticized Yang Tinghe.

They blamed Yang Tinghe for not taking good care of Zhu Houzhao as the prime minister, which led to Zhu Houzhao's death at a young age.

There are even some who believe that Yang Tinghe was not the one who failed to take good care of Zhu Houzhao, but that it was Yang Tinghe who killed Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao's death was too strange.

The whole process took such a long time and covered such a long distance. From the medication to the doctor in charge, the whole treatment process was shrouded in weirdness.

Liu Shishi said thoughtfully: "This should be the saying that 'the emperor of the Ming Dynasty dissolved in water'. Some people believe that Zhu Houzhao was killed by Yang Tinghe, so in this drama you arranged it according to this plot, and then told your script through the mouth of the censor."

Liu Shishi was very confident when she said this.

In order to film "Huashan" well, she put a lot of effort into understanding these situations.

Who would have thought that after Zhou Mo finished listening, he shook his head.

"No."

"Isn't it?" Liu Shishi was stunned: "That means you don't think it was Yang Tinghe who killed Zhu Houzhao, and the censor's words were just to lay the groundwork?"

"Not really." Zhou Mo shook his head again.

Liu Shishi: …

"Those who keep it a secret should be careful of being struck by lightning! Tell me quickly.

"Liu Shishi opened her mouth and bit Zhou Mo's finger.

Zhou Mo explained: "Personally, I still tend to believe that Zhu Houzhao was not killed intentionally by Yang Tinghe... because there was no need for that. Zhu Houzhao had a good relationship with Yang Tinghe and always respected Yang Tinghe. For his own fun, he delegated a lot of power to Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe himself was also nice to Zhu Houzhao. Whenever Zhu Houzhao went out to play, Yang Tinghe would keep writing letters asking him to come back. He would also advise Zhu Houzhao to take care of things every few days. Whenever Zhu Houzhao got into trouble, Yang Tinghe would clean up his mess.

Yang Tinghe was already in power, so there was no need to kill Zhu Houzhao. Changing a new emperor for his student would not only lead to criticism, but also the possibility of his power being taken away in the future. This was not a sufficient reason.

But there are indeed some controversies in real history. For example, Yang Tinghe did not allow Zhu Houzhao's doctor to be replaced, and this doctor was not the first to make a mistake. When Zhu Houzhao's father died, this guy actually had a dark history and was proven to be a mediocre doctor...

So, in this section, I simply throw out all the historical debates and let all the audiences debate. It doesn’t matter whether Yang Tinghe is innocent or vilified in the end. Anyway, our film has already attracted much discussion.”

Liu Shishi suddenly realized.

"So that's it."

The voice just fell.

Zhou Mo Penguin's reminder sound rang.
