In addition to Pan An, who is often compared, there is another person who is not only strong in martial arts and invincible, but also has an extremely handsome face, and this person is the King of Lanling.
Legend has it that this person must wear a vicious iron mask when he goes out to fight, because his appearance is too handsome, but it is not conducive to his momentum in battle, the face of the white-faced Xiaosheng can not suppress the other party, and it is not easy to manage the army, as a general, to establish majesty, all whenever there is a war, he wears a mask.
Nowadays, the popularity of King Lanling is also very high, what has he experienced in his life? After reading it, you will definitely be fascinated by him.
First, a generation of the god of war Lanling King
Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, was born in the Northern Qi Dynasty and was the fourth son of Emperor Wenxiang of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Emperor Wenxiang was only 29 years old when he died, he was not an emperor at that time, and his current name was also posthumously awarded later, and he left just about to give him the throne.
The incident happened suddenly, Emperor Wenxiang's younger brother Gao Yang naturally controlled the government, and later established the "Great Qi" as the first emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
At that time, the dynasty had just been established and was not very stable, and there was to be a war.
The emperor, who believed in the family, was also the brothers in the family, the most of whom was Gao Changgong who was outstanding, and showed extraordinary talent since he was a child, and the task of fighting the war fell to him.
The Northern Qi Dynasty opened the country, the emperor changed the Qin, after experiencing Gao Yang, Gao Yin, Gao Yan, Gao Zhan, these emperors, after Gao Yin ascended the throne, Gao Changgong was canonized as the king of Lanling.
In the second year of Taining (562), Gao Wei was canonized as the crown prince, remember that this is a key figure, and he will be tested later.
At this time, the Northern Qi Dynasty was already in danger, and sure enough, in the second year of Gao Wei's crown prince, the Turks came in, and Gao Changgong was ordered to defeat the Turkic army in one fell swoop with his brave and good fighting skills, and he did not dare to commit it again.
After fighting the Turks, in the second year, that is, in the third year of Heqing, Gao Changgong and Hu Luguang, the son of the famous general Hu Lujin of the Northern Qi Dynasty, faced the Northern Zhou army together, and the Northern Qi army was trapped in Luoyang due to tactical reasons.
Gao Changgong personally led five hundred cavalry to surround the Northern Zhou Dynasty, rescued the people of Jin Yongcheng who were deeply trapped in fire and water, and the local people all praised Gao Changgong, for a while, Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, became famous, no one in the world knows, no one knows, the history is called the battle of Bishan.
Since then, the god of war, King Lanling, has become an instant hit.
As soon as this person is popular, it is easy to attract jealousy, and he is far away from the high city thousands of miles away, and the prince Gao Wei can't sit still.
What are the ancient kings most afraid of, the most afraid of the master, he Gao Wei is the prince, and before he has been supported, Gao Changgong became famous by fighting a battle, Gao Wei was unwilling, so he used some tricks.
The ancients believed in celestial phenomena and believed that it was the will of God, and each dynasty had its own "Meteorological Bureau", Gao Wei wanted to control the government quickly, so in the first year of King Lanling's victory, he used the "Heavenly Warning" to make the Taishang Emperor, that is, his father Gao Zhan, abdicate.
In the fourth year of Heqing (565), Gao Wei ascended the throne.
At this time, Gao Wei hadn't targeted King Lanling much, after all, King Lanling was still useful for him to consolidate his royal power.
And, Lanling King Gao Changgong's father Emperor Wenxiang and Gao Wei's father Gao Zhan are brothers, at this time Gao Wei and Gao Changgong are both the grandsons of Emperor Gao Huan of Qi Shenwu, the two of them have a grandfather, if it weren't for Emperor Wenxiang's early death, the person who was canonized as the crown prince and even later became the emperor is likely to be Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling.
Although they are cousins, the two still have a relationship.
But Gao Wei, the emperor, was uncomfortable, and because of her mother, it was controversial.
His mother was the Empress of Wucheng, Hu Shi, who was known for her debauchery when Gao Zhan was alive, and had an affair with Gao Zhan's bodyguard and Shikai, who was a traitorous villain.
Gao Wei also trusted the words of outsiders and alienated his younger brother Gao Yan. Now the political situation is divided into two groups, Gao Wei's favor letter and Shikai, Gao Ana and others, absurd, singing every day, drinking and having fun. Gao Changgong, Langyu Wang Gao Yan, Hu Luguang and others have been running for the defense of the country.
In such a situation, can the Northern Qi Dynasty be saved? What will be the end of Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling?
Second, the high place is not cold
At this time, Gao Changgong was still fighting everywhere, and he had not yet felt Gao Wei's hostility towards him, and he was also loyal to the monarch, so he did whatever he wanted.
But in the battle of Bishan, the performance of the king of Lanling was too brilliant, and there began to be bad rumors in the market, with the absurdity of Gao Wei, the people complained, and a small number of voices began to support the rebellion of the king of Lanling.
But Gao Changgong was furious after knowing about this, he has always been a courtier who is very loyal to the emperor, he knows his position, and he will not act beyond the norm, the traitor will be stinking for him for 10,000 years, and he himself will never do such a thing.
What's more, the relationship between King Lanling and Gao Wei is not bad, after all, they are relatives, although Gao Wei was a little jealous of King Lanling's fame later.
stabbed the window paper of the two of them, and there was still a flashpoint missing, no, the rival Yuwen Hu came.
The Yuwen family's power in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was very stable, especially after Yuwen Hu got rid of Duguxin and other dissidents, he almost dominated the court and essentially ruled the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The battle of Bishan that made King Lanling famous in the first battle just mentioned was his ghost.
After that, Yuwen Hu and the King of Lanling always fought each other, and the famous one was the Battle of Dingyang, but they were all disintegrated by the King of Lanling, and for the God of War, this is a trivial matter.
The king of Lanling is brave and strategic, can win battles, and can obey the soldiers under his command, but he can't cure his heart disease.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the emperor's mind cannot be guessed.
Cushman & Wakefield.
The current King of Lanling is a general of the Northern Qi Dynasty and is admired.
"Who in the entire Northern Qi Dynasty doesn't know the handsome Lanling King Gao Changgong, not only good looking, but also a skill, who cares about you, the emperor", He Shikai said.
Whoever can and who is not in a hurry, this is a threat to the throne.
Gao Wei was anxious, but he still did a good job on the surface, and he still praised Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, for his outstanding results, and continued to increase his official ranks.
The emperor's move frightened the wife of the Lanling King, Zheng.
Regarding the wife of Gao Changgong, the first beautiful man in ancient times, the history books do not clearly record it, only talking about her wife Zheng from a famous family.
However, it is recorded in the wild history that one of the reasons why King Lanling and Yuwen Hu have been-for-tat is that they both fell in love with Zheng at the same time, but in the end Zheng chose Gao Changgong, so the two are rivals.
On one side is the most beautiful man in the world, and at the same time he is the god of war of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and on the other hand, he is the Taishi Yuwen Hu, who is in power and opposition, holding real power, and the two can be said to be evenly matched.
Why was Zheng frightened, because Gao Wei abandoned the government in the later period, and the people complained, there were already many opposite voices, Gao Changgong at this time was on the cusp, after all, Gao Changgong is also the blood of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and his roots are red, and he is very likely to be proclaimed emperor, although Gao Changgong has no idea about being the emperor at all, but he can't stand the rumors and make the emperor suspicious.
At present, I am rewarding my husband, but I am afraid that it is a Hongmen banquet, and I want my husband to climb high and fall miserably.
King Lanling didn't think of what his wife was worried about!
What could he do?
Three, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither
Afraid of estrangement from the emperor, Gao Changgong became a corrupt official and embezzled the military salary issued by the imperial court. He also ordered people to spread the news, and the more ferocious the spread, the better, not only to say that he was a corrupt official, but also to say that he killed innocent people indiscriminately, did not distinguish between right and wrong, and corrupted the atmosphere of the army.
Gao Changgong did this in order to let the emperor let down his guard, and the single-mindedness of the monarch and his ministers was conducive to the prosperity of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
In fact, people have paid all the military salaries that should be paid, not only are they not greedy, they will be rewarded if they do a good job, and they treat their subordinates very well, and they are simply a good boss that everyone envies.
According to historical records, in order to escape the suspicion of the emperor, Gao Changgong cleared his suspicions, said that he was sick at home and did not come out for a long time.
But it is not a way to hide all the time, he is the general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the battle ahead is tight, how can he hide? Yuwen Hu joined forces with other small countries to use troops against the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Gao Changgong had no choice but to meet the enemy.
But this move, in the eyes of the emperor Gao Wei at the time, was a big taboo.
In the fourth year of Wuping (573), Gao Wei listened to slander, and was provoked by He Shikai and others, and ordered the king of Lanling to be killed, and a glass of poisoned wine was sent to the mansion of the king of Lanling.
Princess Zheng of Lanling persuaded her husband to ask the emperor clearly, and King Lanling said with tears in his eyes, "There are rumors in the market that the emperor suspects me, and he will definitely not want to see me." With that, he picked up his glass and died with hatred.
A generation of gods of war has fallen.
Who knew that the bold words on the battlefield back then, "The country's business is my Gao Changgong's business" became the poison that put the king of Lanling to death?
And the surging "Lanling King's Entrance Song" became a sad lament at this time.
When he was in high spirits, when he did not hesitate to die on the battlefield for the Northern Qi Dynasty, would King Lanling think about his current fate?
After the death of King Lanling, Gao Wei ordered the Great Wall to be torn down, Yecheng was lost, and the royal family was like a lost dog.
In 557, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was established.
"Northern History" has a very high evaluation of the King of Lanling, "If it weren't for the King of Lanling, the Northern Qi would be difficult to destroy."
Everyone was a little puzzled when they heard this, why didn't King Lanling rebel?
First, King Lanling has no intention of being an emperor, and he prefers to fight on the battlefield and be happy in the rivers and lakes than to sit on the high hall.
Second, after the king of Lanling fell ill, the military power had been handed over, and he had no skills to command a hundred troops, and he had no way to start if he wanted to rebel.
King Lanling and Yue Fei are a type of characters, they are both loyal to the national court, both have lofty ambitions, and both have extremely high character, they are not villains who usurp the throne, they have great righteousness.
If King Lanling really became the emperor, maybe the current history would be different.
