(Thirteen)
Duan Shao spoke with great sincerity and sincerity about the matter of letting go, as if it was as logical as if Sun Ge had turned the tide.
Duan Shao was a highly respected minister and held great power, but his reputation was unknown.
The children in the education family are extremely strict and rarely cause scandals involving bullying. The entire Duan family is as quiet and silent as a grain of sand in Northern Qi, disappearing from the public.
But it is obvious that the Duan family is an unshakable behemoth in Northern Qi.
The successive leaders of the Gao family in the Northern Qi Dynasty were more and more crazy and perverted, but they all trusted Duan Shao.
If there is something good to say about the brutal and crazy Northern Qi Dynasty, it is that the Gao family and Duan Shao complement each other.
Not simple!
Sun Ge sighed in his heart again.
"Everything is decided by the Father."
She can do whatever she wants like Gao Zhan, but she can't guess Gao Zhan's thoughts.
A conversation at Taiwu Hall that day let her know that Gao Zhan was by no means as ignorant as the rumors said.
Maybe Gao Zhan was just too sober.
After waking up, I chose to escape and compromise, and chose to enjoy myself in time.
The more so, the more flawless Gao Zhan becomes.
He likes pleasure, excitement, and luxury, and he never hides it and is never afraid of rumors.
Duan Shao nodded repeatedly and stopped talking.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the atmosphere in Luoyang City reached its peak due to Gao Zhan's personal arrival, especially the officers and soldiers in the army.
What those who join the army want is to protect their family and country in public, and protect their relatives in private. Military achievements are the way to get rewards and climb up the ladder.
Gao Zhan came to the army in Luoyang, where he was rewarded for his merits, cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle, and sang with strong drinks.
The leading general Gao Changgong was granted the title of Shangshu Ling and was given the same title as prime minister.
Gao Zhan even made it clear that with Gao Changgong's bravery and skill in fighting, given time, he would be rewarded with the post of Grand Sima.
The Great Sima of the Northern Qi Dynasty was the "Second Great" together with the Great General. Dian Wu was in a position of higher authority than the Three Dukes.
Everyone knows that Gao Changgong's future is bright.
Only Duan Shao's energetic eyes flashed with worry.
During the Battle of Mangshan, he took the initiative to let Gao Changgong take charge of the central army to give up the limelight, firstly to protect himself, and secondly to give Gao Changgong a chance to succeed.
He is already old, and Northern Qi's future needs to be protected by young people.
But Gao Changgong's popularity is not necessarily a good thing.
Now that Your Majesty is not afraid of being superior to others, what if the prince succeeds to the throne in the future?
You know, in Northern Qi, it is not uncommon to seize the throne.
Once His Highness the Crown Prince becomes suspicious, today's limelight will be Gao Changgong's reminder.
However, both he and Hu Luguang were half dead. If Gao Changgong was safe, he could continue to protect the Northern Qi Dynasty from destruction for decades.
But what if...
Thinking of this, Duan Shao's eyes darkened and he said loudly, "I would like to ask for merit for His Highness the Crown Prince."
Sunge:......
╭(╯^╰)╮
Is this old man only staring at her?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rushed to Jinyong City at the critical moment. As soon as the king's flag came out, the soldiers and people of Jinyong City were cheered up and united, and their momentum surged."
"This is the first skill."
"Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rescued the enemy in time and helped the defender of Jin Yong City to hold on until King Lanling arrived, His Highness played an indispensable role in the battle of Mang Mountain. This is the second contribution."
"Your Highness's innocent heart is not greedy for merit. This is the third merit."
Sun Ge curled his lips and was extremely speechless.
In order to get enough of these three merits, Duan Shao was really in trouble. When did not being greedy for merit become merit?
"Your Majesty, I propose a generous reward to Your Highness. This is what the generals and officers of the army expect."
After Duan Shao finished speaking, the eyes focused on Lanling King Gao Changgong became much lighter.
No one can deny Gao Changgong's contribution, but due to Duan Shaoyi's nonsense, the most eye-catching one turned out to be Sunge, with Gao Changgong just a foil.
Sun Ge knew Duan Shao's plan after thinking about it for a while.
Isn't it because he is afraid that King Lanling will be too popular and arouse the fear of the royal family?
However, she did not expect that Duan Shao would come forward to protect King Lanling.
After all, the discussion of merit and rewards at the celebration banquet in the plot has become Gao Changgong's personal show, shining like the scorching sun, unstoppable.
So, when Duan Shao was silent at that time, it was just because he had no one to take advantage of that he chose to protect himself?
Now she rushed to Luoyang on a whim and became the victim of Duan Shao's eyes.
Without making a sound, Gao Changgong's presence faded away.
In fact, Gao Changgong did not suffer any loss. After all, he had already accepted all the rewards he should receive.
It seems that he is indifferent, but he is actually a winner in life.
Well, it’s not just a taken advantage of, she just does it.
However, does she seem to be such a small-minded person who cannot tolerate magnanimity?
Huh, I'm really looking down on her.
She prefers to win lying down rather than lead the way.
With a big boss charging ahead, it's okay for her to be a laid-back emperor.
Lanling King Gao Changgong was responsible for the random killings, and she was responsible for Gaga.
The two swords combined, killing indiscriminately!
When Gao Zhan, who was sitting on the high platform, heard Duan Shao's words, his eyes were meaningful, as if he was brewing a shocking storm, and then unexpectedly gave Sun Ge an unforgettable surprise.
Gao Zhan's eyes made Sunge couldn't help but get goosebumps.
At this moment, Sun Ge did not feel the joy of being rewarded for his merits.
In Duan Shao's eyes, she was taken advantage of.
In Gao Zhan's eyes, she seemed to have become the fish on the chopping board again.
This celebration banquet is really disturbing.
"It's all because of my father's good teachings."
Sunge stood up and bowed slightly.
Is credit a hot commodity these days?
"If it weren't for my father's constant teachings, how could I have achieved such merit?"
Gao Zhan suddenly raised his lips and smiled, looking at Sun Ge with increasing pleasure.
He is capable, sensible and well-spoken. Being such a capable prince is really an understatement.
"As for the crown prince's reward, I have other plans."
"When the prince returns to Yecheng with the widow, we will proceed with the reward."
Gao Zhan smiled lightly and said without any doubt.
"All officers and men, drink together with me."
Gao Zhan stood up, raised his glass, and looked down at the world.
It seems that even a faint king can exaggerate a bit of domineering under the imperial power.
Coupled with Gao Zhan's face that brought disaster to the country and the people, it became even more fascinating.
Sunge's eyes were looking between Gao Zhan and Gao Changgong without any trace, trying to gauge their performance.
Comparing each other, the styles are different.
Gao Zhan's body is lazy and casual, with fatal charm, just like a swaying black mandala.
And Gao Changgong, his heart is like a pure bamboo, and his nature is like a jade string.
While he was drinking heavily, the famous song "The Song of King Lanling Enters the Battle", which was passed down to later generations, was finally compiled into martial music by the soldiers.
Duan Shao's face was dark and his mood was extremely complicated.
The soldiers of Jinyong City were also grateful, in order to praise King Lanling for resolving the siege of Luoyang and making King Lanling be remembered in history.
This is understandable.
But it was such pure gratitude and good intentions that made what he just said fall short.
"The Song of King Lanling Entering the Battle" came out, and the more widely circulated it became, the more likely it became a thorn in the side of those in power.
