(nineteen)
The dissatisfaction and depression in Gao Zhan's voice were clearly visible to everyone present.
Sun Ge touched the tip of his nose, smiled a little apologetically and returned to the carriage.
Huh, Gao Zhan is so evil that he still can't see her and Gao Changgong loving each other as a family.
Speaking of which, Gao Zhan, who is notorious for his misdeeds, is not without merit.
History books can never truly objectively and comprehensively describe a magnificent life.
It's anyone, without exception.
The flaws or shining points of human nature will always ripple in the minutiae, places that historians overlook.
It's a pity that a few strokes are all it takes to seal the coffin.
The carriage was still moving slowly on the official road. Gao Changgong, like the most loyal guard, wore silver armor and rode a horse to pick me up.
Yecheng is right in front of you.
"Sister, are you ready?"
"Everything is subject to His Highness's orders."
Ever since Lu Lingxuan knew that His Majesty was about to enthrone His Majesty the Crown Prince, her heart had never been at peace.
The opportunity she once longed for was just around the corner, but she found that her worries were far greater than her ecstasy.
Since this time, I have suppressed my previous ambitions and from His Highness's point of view, I feel more and more that Northern Qi is a mess.
The surface is bright and shiny, but the foundation is rotten from the beginning.
The foundation rots and it is only a matter of time before it collapses.
And His Highness, who she raised with her own hands, is still a young man, and he has to carry this devastated and turbulent country on his shoulders.
Tired and desperate.
It is really difficult to change the terrible Northern Qi in a situation surrounded by powerful enemies.
"Your Highness, I am willing to protect you."
Across the thick curtains, Gao Changgong's clearer voice came through the gap.
Sun Ge pursed her lips. She always felt that something happened that she didn't know about.
Gao Changgong's fear of avoiding her is still in his mind, and all changes will not be without reason.
"Cousin, why?"
It has never been Sunge's style to hold things in his heart.
In addition, Gao Changgong was an outspoken person. If she asked, Gao Changgong would definitely tell her everything and would never hide it deliberately.
Gao Changgong raised his long and narrow eyebrows slightly and said frankly, "On that day, not only His Highness, but also ministers were in His Majesty's tent."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for choosing me."
"Your Highness promises you trust, and I will reward you with loyalty."
"As long as His Highness is willing, I swear to defend the territory of Northern Qi to the death, and the direction of His Highness's heart will be what I am pointing with my halberd."
"Don't be afraid of life or death."
Make a splash and move forward indomitably.
This sharpness made his usually feminine and delicate face look a bit deeper and tougher, and no one would call him effeminate.
Sunge's eyes were complicated. To talk about how to play, you have to look at Gao Zhan, that crazy beauty.
Even she had to surrender.
If in Gao Zhan's tent that day, she had chosen to play tricks on others, there would have been no possibility for her and Gao Changgong to work together to overcome the difficulties.
The most terrifying thing is that with Gao Zhan's free will, it is not impossible for Gao Changgong, a star that has not yet fully bloomed, to fall.
How crazy!
This is Sunge's only thought.
"My cousin's talent should shine through the ages."
"I will live up to my cousin's following."
Perhaps, her little butterfly can change Gao Changgong's troubled life.
Stepping into Yecheng, it is bustling.
Lanterns and colors were decorated, and people lined the streets to welcome them.
Even the dead old branches were tied with bright silk flowers, creating a peaceful and lively atmosphere.
But amid the hustle and bustle, the eyes of the people were indeed numb and indifferent. Their stooped bodies and sallow faces created a false sense of wealth.
Even in Yecheng, which is under the emperor's feet, the wealthy families are still smelling of wine and meat, and the roads are freezing to death.
Behind the cover of piles of gold and jade, there are still ten rooms and nine empty houses, and families are broken up and people are dead.
This is the tragedy that the times bring to people's livelihood.
Gao Zhan sat on the car and took in everything, his eyes still clear and cold.
The silk flowers tied to the branches seem to be a silent mockery at this time.
However, Gao Zhan's heart was not moved at all.
He couldn't save the world, he couldn't even save himself.
He can only sink with this troubled world until he decays.
Zhan means clear.
It's a pity that he can't be like Qu Yuan back then. When the whole world was turbulent, he was alone in his innocence, and when everyone was drunk, he was alone in his sobriety.
He doesn't want to wake up, it's his choice.
He has no regrets and is not afraid of the infamy he will receive thousands of years later.
In this turbid Gao family, in this chaotic world of cannibalism, it just depends on whether his innocent and sincere prince and the cold and jade-like Gao Changgong can open a crack and let the light shine in.
Gao Zhan's posture is still aloof, looking down on the world, and he accepts the people's kneeling and worshiping with peace of mind.
Sun Ge and Gao Changgong looked at each other without saying anything.
A glimpse of the leopard shows that the Northern Qi Dynasty has never won the hearts of the people.
This is true in Yecheng, let alone those corners that the emperor cannot notice.
No wonder, during the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, Qu Yuan would sigh deeply to cover his tears and lament the hardships of people's livelihood.
Only when the chaos stops can the people live.
This is the only way without any shortcuts.
At this moment, whether it was Sun Ge, Gao Changgong or Lu Lingxuan, they all knew this.
The turmoil and separatism that began in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and lasted for hundreds of years in the Wei and Jin Dynasties could not be ended so easily.
Back then, the First Emperor's unification of the world was inseparable from the remnants of Fen VI.
How can today's Northern Qi be compared with the Great Qin in Guanzhong at that time?
In the palace, under the control of Queen Hu, the palace banquet was orderly and extravagant.
This is where Hu and Gao Zhan are most compatible.
When you can enjoy yourself, you will never feel wronged in the slightest.
In Zhaoyang Palace, Mrs. Hu looked at Sun Ge carefully, with an inconspicuous red tint in the corner of her eyes.
She thought she could give up everything for the sake of power and status, but those deeply restrained and repressed feelings did not exist, they were just quietly fermenting in the corner.
"Mother, I'm fine."
"Outside Jinyong City, Lord Lu and my cousin protected me very well."
"Mother, please don't blame Lord Lu. She never instigated her son."
"It was my son who kept it secret from her and insisted on having his own way."
Sunge looked at Lu Lingxuan, who was kneeling outside the hall, shivering in the cold and still not daring to speak, and begged for mercy.
Anyway, Lu Lingxuan is the first person she wins over.
Queen Hu paused slightly and said coldly, "Since the Crown Prince pleads for you, I will spare you this time."
"I will never do anything like this again. I will serve His Highness with all my heart."
Facing Lu Lingxuan, Queen Hu felt a little complicated.
She didn't know whether to be resentful or grateful.
"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness."
Lu Lingxuan stood up, staggering, and managed to stand up with the help of the palace maid.
Queen Hu looked away and said, "The cousin Wei'er mentioned?"
"Prince Lanling Gao Changgong?"
Queen Hu asked uncertainly.
During the Battle of Luoyang, Gao Changgong became famous in the first battle, and his military momentum was close to that of Duan Shao. He was the most popular person in the Northern Qi Dynasty at the moment.
My surname is Gao...
