The long river of Chinese history is full of many untold stories. Some stories are forgotten, but certain people and events, despite the vicissitudes of change, have left a deep mark on history. One of the lesser-known heroes is Gao Changgong, whose life is gripping and legendary.
Gao Changgong was born in the third year of the Northern Qi River Qing Dynasty, followed by the fourth year of Baoding of Northern Zhou, and he was involved in a thrilling battle. Northern Zhou Otsuka Zai Yuwen Gou led troops to invade the land south of the Northern Qi River in three ways, and Luoyang City urgently needed assistance. At that time, the emperor of Northern Qi was Gao Zhan, the emperor of Wucheng, and after hearing the news, he sent Gao Changgong the King of Lanling, Duan Shao the King of Pingyuan, and Hu Luguang to lead troops south to support Luoyang. The battlefield outside the city was like a black-red showdown, Gao Changgong led 500 cavalry to rush into the enemy position, and the death squad was like a torrent, breaking up the Northern Zhou army, opening up a life for Luoyang, and rushing straight to the city of Jin Yong. However, the defenders of the city did not dare to open the door easily, and it was not until Gao Changgong took off his helmet that they realized that this heroic general was His Royal Highness King Lanling, and hurriedly sent a crossbowman to take over. The Northern Qi army worked together internally and externally, and finally defeated the Northern Zhou army and successfully defended the city of Jin Yongcheng. At that moment, the soldiers rejoiced and sang loudly, and this song was later famous "Lanling King Entering the Battle".
This historical story has always been passed down by people, along the long river of time, passed down to the present. However, the ending of the story is embarrassing. Although Gao Changgong became a legendary hero in the Northern Qi army, he also embarked on a path full of twists and turns.
The national strength of Northern Qi was strong for a while, and heroic soldiers such as Gao Changgong made great battle achievements. However, the ancients "made a big move", who dared not to be afraid of the prestige and influence of this general? Gao Changgong's achievements shook the lord, causing him to cause a series of troubles. However, all this seems to stem from his unintentional words. At the banquet, Gao Changgong inadvertently referred to state affairs as a writer's affairs, which aroused Gao Wei's jealousy. Gao Wei, as Gao Changgong's cousin, became suspicious and jealous of Gao Changgong at that moment. Therefore, he began to treat this honorable cousin with caution.
Gao Changgong was smart and wise, he understood that he was in danger, so he began to take measures to protect himself. He successively held the positions of Sizhou pastor and Qingzhou assassin, but during these terms, rumors of corruption and bribery continued. He was even forced to burn the camp and retreat. This series of events not only affected Gao Changgong's reputation, but also made Gao Wei more worried.
Wei Xiangyuan, Gao Changgong's subordinate, saw through the whole situation. He pointed out that although Gao Changgong's performance was excellent, the regime was full of jealousy of him. Wei Xiangyuan advised Gao Changgong that the best way to avoid danger was to go back to his home and stop getting involved in political affairs. Gao Changgong accepted this suggestion, but the imperial court did not agree to his request for leave.
Soon, there was a rebellion in the Jianghuai region, and Gao Changgong feared that the imperial court would recruit him to participate in the suppression. He was overwhelmed by his worries while lamenting that the swelling of his face had not recurred. He gave up his health to dispel Gao Wei's suspicions. However, Cushman & Wakefield's fear of him is growing, which he can least tolerate.
Finally, Cushman & Wakefield took a lethal action. He sent Xu Zhifan to send poisoned wine to Gao Changgong, and in order to explain the cause of Gao Changgong's death, Gao Wei weaved an extremely ironic sentence: "Family affairs are kind, do not realize it." Gao Changgong died of hatred at the age of thirty-two.
After Gao Changgong's death, he was posthumously promoted to imperial lieutenant and buried in the Gaoyang Wuning Mausoleum on the north bank of the Zhanghe River in the west of Yecheng. Despite his bravery, he was ultimately defeated by political struggles inside and outside the imperial court. His life is legendary and breathtaking.
Although Gao Changgong's story is only a few hundred words in history books, it has aroused people's curiosity and discussion for thousands of years. The life of this legendary general is full of four mysteries: First, who is Gao Changgong's biological mother? Although the identity of the emperor's biological mother is usually not in doubt, the history books avoid mentioning it. This mystery remains unsolved. Secondly, Is Gao Changgong the third son or the fourth son? The Northern Qi Book and the Northern History are inconsistent, but the epitaph clearly records that he was Gao Cheng's third son. This contradiction makes one have to question the accuracy of the history books. Third, what is the real cause of Gao Changgong's death? In addition to the praise of "family affairs are kind, unconscious", are there more factors behind it? Finally, Does Gao Changgong have any descendants? Although not recorded in the history books, the discovery of the epitaph indicates that he had descendants. His story remains an interweaving of history and mystery to this day.
The legend of Gao Changgong was not only circulated in China, but also introduced to Japan. His name still twinkles in the starry sky of history and is passed down by countless people. His grave is located in Cixian County, Hebei Province, and although the cemetery has fallen into disrepair, it still attracts tourists who want to pay homage to the legendary hero. Gao Changgong's life has left a deep mark and has become a bright pearl in the long river of history.
