A low-key prince
Gao Changgong, a warrior in the Northern Qi Dynasty, was a low-key man.
Of course, he must also keep a low profile. Although you are the grandson of the prince, his life experience is really embarrassing. His father was Gao Cheng, Emperor of Wen Xiang in Northern Qi Dynasty, but his mother didn't even have a surname. Among the six brothers, he ranks fourth. Among them, the mother of the fifth young man, Gao Yanzong, is only a prostitute, but the official history also clearly records her surname as Chen. From this calculation, I am afraid that the status and status of the mother of the warrior Lan Ling is not even as good as that of a prostitute, and later generations speculate that she may be just a humble maid-in-waiting in the palace. In that era of paying attention to bloodline and gate valve, the embarrassment and pressure brought by the "inexplicable" identity of the soldier Lan Ling can be imagined. Therefore, he must keep a low profile and be a man with his tail between his legs. There are also books about romance, written by Wen Xiang's fourth son, soldier Lan Ling and Ji Xun's Cui Rong. Ben of Xun, the queen of Zhu, is clever. Fourteen-year-old, often serving, offering martial arts. Later, he suspected that he had a personal relationship with martial arts and wanted to die. Send the weapons to Lou and raise them. Lou, his beautiful eyes, will have a son in the future, but he gave it to him as his concubine and gave birth to Lan Ling. Although this credibility is not high enough, we can also know that the status of the warrior Lan Ling as a biological mother is not high enough.
In addition to identity, whether it is personal talent or social relations, the soldier Lan Ling must keep a low profile relative to other brothers. Gao Xiaoyu, the eldest brother of Henan, is not only "handsome and magnificent", but also "modest and generous, loves literature, reads widely, is omnipotent and never loses a game of chess", which can be described as both talent and appearance. More importantly, Gao Xiaoyu and his ninth uncle Gao Zhan grew up together in his grandfather's SHEN WOO Palace. They fell in love in the same year, and their relationship was very unusual. After Gao Zhan ascended the throne, he gave Gao Xiaoyu a "special courtesy". When he was playing in Jinyang, he did not forget his nephew who was the same age in Ye, the capital of Northern Qi Dynasty (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei Province) and wrote to tell him, "I want to drink two glasses of Fenjiu, and I advise you to drink two glasses in Ye." The relationship between the two is so close that even historians can't help admiring "dear".
The two kings of Guangning are tall and talented. He has many advantages, such as "loving the people, studying classics, studying history, being good at writing essays and being a geisha", especially his painting skills. He once painted an eagle on the wall of his own room, "everyone thought it was true"; He also painted "The Stone Map", which was also wonderful at that time. In addition, Gao also has excellent administrative skills. The emperors of the Northern Qi Dynasty moved around like a merry-go-round, but they always held high positions, such as Sizhou Pastoral, Shangshuling, Situ, Lushangshu, General and Fu, trying to support the crumbling Gaojiangshan of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Gao Xiaowan, the third king of Hejian, was not as talented as his two brothers, but he was frank and brave. At the beginning, the Turkish and Northern Zhou armies captured Taiyuan, and Gao Zhan prepared to withdraw eastward to avoid the enemy. He grabbed his uncle's horse's head and refused to withdraw. He went out with bare arms and vowed to fight the enemy to the death. Later, when the Northern Zhou army was defeated, he was worshipped as the secretariat of Bingzhou (now Taiyuan). In addition, Gao Xiaowan has a great psychological advantage, that is, his mother is Queen Wen Jingyuan, so she is "arrogant and conceited". As Wen Xiang, who is about to become an emperor, people's pride also has capital.
The fifth young man, Gao Yanzong, was not much better than the soldier Lan Ling, but he was "lucky" and was adopted by his second uncle Gao Yang (Emperor Wenxuan, actually the first emperor of Beiqi) at an early age, and his popularity was very good. /kloc-when he was 0/2 years old, Gao Yang let him ride on his belly, and even indulged in the absurdity of "drowning himself in his navel". After urinating, Gao Yang also sighed happily: "There is only one poor one."
Gao, Lao Liu, is too young to compare.
The warrior Lan Ling, sandwiched between these brothers, can't get up or down, which is quite a bit of psychological loneliness and awkward position of "grandma doesn't hurt, uncle doesn't love".
If we study the reason why the warrior Lan Ling is not loved and valued, besides his low status as a mother, I think it is also related to his appearance. History shows that he is "soft in appearance and strong in heart". In today's words, he is a "handsome man" with fair skin, thin eyes and quite neutral beauty. However, no matter compared with his grandfather Gao Huan, whose eyes are bare and his teeth are as white as jade, or compared with his handsome father Gao Cheng, the appearance of the warrior Lan Ling lacks a necessary "heroic spirit". In this military-worshipping royal family, his "small white face", which is neither tall nor heroic, certainly does not conform to the aesthetic taste of the royal family. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to understand why his second uncle likes Gao Yanzong, a super fat man who "squats on his back".
Another important reason why the warrior Lan Ling kept a low profile may also be related to the sudden death of his father in childhood. As the eldest son of Gao Huan, the great prime minister who controlled the lifeblood of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, his father Gao Cheng had political experience since childhood. At the age of 65,438+06, he served as the governor of Gyeonggi and joined the auxiliary court affairs. In addition, his talent of "extraordinary knowledge and rigorous skills" made him "shake the ruling and opposition parties" in a short time. At the age of 29, as a general, he was also a prime minister, sealing the king of Qi, and added a special gift, that is, "praising the unknown, not standing in the court, and taking the sword to the temple", which can be said to be the highest position of a person and minister. But young and promising Gao Cheng is not satisfied. He has the idea of replacing him with someone who controls the military and political power, so he doesn't care about filial piety to the emperor in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. On one occasion, he took a large glass of wine with malicious intent and forced him to show filial piety to the emperor to persuade him to drink. Xiao Jing said unhappily, "Since ancient times, no country has perished. Why should I live like this!" Gao flew into a rage and shouted, "What me! Me! Dog feet! " After scolding, Cui, a courtier around him, punched the emperor three times and then "swaggered out". This is not over. Afterwards, Gao Cheng asked Cui to "thank you". Xiaojing felt that he was not to be taunted, so he had to submit to humiliation and give him colorful silks How much did you give? Cui had to ask Gao Cheng for instructions. Gao Cheng said, take a paragraph for example. Xiao Jing gave 400 horses, and Gao Cheng also said, "It's also an ear." From this perspective, Gao Cheng is the kind of overbearing advocate who "takes power and tide wait for no man".
This conceited personality, that is, too "high-profile", also made Cheng pay a heavy price. One day, when he and several confidants were plotting how to be emperor in Dongbaitang, north of the city, a chef named Jing Lan was ordered to eat. Gao Cheng didn't know why he didn't like him, so he said to the people around him, "I dreamed of this slave last night and should kill him." Jing Lan is no ordinary slave. The son of Qin Lan, the general of Liang State, was captured by the Eastern Wei Dynasty because of the war. Qin Lan wanted to redeem it with money, but Gao Cheng refused. Perhaps in his view, what he wants is the pride of the winner, and what he wants to see is also the humiliation of the loser. Therefore, Jing Lan made many requests, but Gao Cheng refused. Later, he also hit Jing Lan and threatened him to "sue him more". This time, Gao Cheng's order made desperate Jing Lan take risks. He gathered six colleagues to break into the hall and assassinate Gao Cheng. For this bizarre assassination, future generations have been suspicious because of too many coincidences. For example, a few days before the incident, there was a nursery rhyme in the city: "A hundred feet of pole head, one step further, the underwater lights went out." In addition, courtier Cui cried and recited Bao Mingyuan's poem for no reason when the ministers were waiting outside Bei Gong: "The general's singing is rare in the next life." Therefore, it is very likely that Gao Cheng's death was a long-planned and carefully planned political murder. Those seemingly superstitious rumors are probably just psychological warfare carefully planned by political opponents.
The sudden death of his father had a profound and great influence on the character formation and attitude towards life of the soldier Lan Ling. Whether being a man or doing things, if you are too ostentatious, too high-profile and too indifferent to others, you may fall into the "Jedi" at any time. Because of his special status, it is estimated that he has tasted all kinds of human beings, so the soldier Lan Ling knows how to understand others, which is why he is not like a general and a prince is not like a prince. History tells him that "in order to be diligent and meticulous, every fruit is sweet, although a melon counts, it will also be with the soldiers." This shows that he is the kind of "people-friendly" royal cadre who can share joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and the generosity and benevolence of the Lanling samurai are not just posturing. The most telling thing is his attitude towards "political enemies". When he was in Yingzhou (now Hejian, Hebei Province), Yang, who joined the army, accused him of taking bribes and bending the law, so he was removed from office. When he made a comeback and led troops to attack Ding Yang, Shenyang happened to be in his barracks, so he was afraid that the soldier Lan Ling would take the opportunity to kill himself. But the soldier Lan Ling comforted him and said, "I didn't mean to." But Yang was still uneasy and asked for punishment. Lan Ling, the warrior, had to make a small mistake and hit Yang's 20 boards before settling down.
The Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty also recorded a touching detail about the warrior "Shu Ren" in Lanling. It is said that once in court, "all the servants who followed him were scattered, leaving only one person, and the Dragon Palace was the only one", but the warrior Lan Ling did not care afterwards and "did not punish". From this point of view, he must be very generous and kind to his servants at ordinary times; Otherwise, I wouldn't have the courage to look down on a prince like him. In the feudal dynasty with different monarch and ministers and strict hierarchy, especially in the crazy era of "not treating people as human beings" and beheading at every turn in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the warm and tolerant side of the warrior Lan Ling is even more commendable. Of course, keeping a low profile is just a soldier Lan Ling's attitude towards life for self-protection and stability.
Behind the seemingly weak face, he also has a "Pentium" heart. After all, his age and position do not allow him to be weak, otherwise the pattern of life is too narrow and the chances of success are too slim. The reason is, on the one hand, the objective environment in which the Beiqi regime lived. In addition to the tripartite confrontation between the Central Plains and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, other ethnic regimes, such as Kumoxi in the north, Qidan in the northeast, Shanhu in the west and Rouran in the northwest, are also eyeing and harassing their borders from time to time. This makes the continuous war become the most important part of Northern Qi politics. What's more, this family group, which started from the military, is famous for its bravery and good fighting, and has always been ambitious, hoping to continuously expand its strength and territory through war. On the other hand, as a descendant of Gao's royal family who advocates force, the best way for warrior Lan Ling to stand out among many clan brothers is to establish military achievements.
In fact, the founder of the Northern Qi Dynasty was Gao Yang, the second uncle of the warrior Lanling. Gao Huan, the grandfather of the soldier Lanling, and Gao Cheng, his father, later became emperors. Although Gao Yang won the throne from the Eastern Wei Emperor, he only took advantage of this opportunity to win the fruits of years of hard work of his father and brother. However, this "thick-skinned" and weird-looking second uncle is quite capable of running the army and leading troops. After he acceded to the throne, he first fought against the barbarians in the north, breaking mountains, Khitan, Rouran and Turkic; Then climb Jieshi Mountain to see the sea, which is quite heroic of former hero Cao Mengde. He marched naked and fought with a bow and arrow. "He often creates difficulties and dangers, which often leads to success." Later, he led elite soldiers to Liang, and the soldiers marched to Shicheng to build health. It can be described as "conquering four grams, the military power is in full swing." However, I don't know whether Emperor Wenxuan is too strong, or the Lanling samurai is too young, or what other reasons. In the ten years of Wenxuan (550-559), the warrior Lan Ling was always ignored, and no one knew his military talents. Intriguingly, in May (550), the eighth year of Wuding, Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Yang was enthroned by Zen Buddhism. In July, he named Xiaowan (the first), two brothers of the warrior Lanling, as Hejian King and Xiaoyu as Henan King. Until 560, the warrior Lan Ling was made the King of Guangling by his cousin Yin Gao (the deposed emperor). Along with him was Gao, the second king of Guangning. Moreover, this time it was not rewarded for military service, but as a routine reward after the new emperor acceded to the throne.
Fortunately, real heroes never lack opportunities to show their abilities. In the winter and November of the third year of Heqing in the Northern Qi Dynasty (564), the Northern Zhou Dynasty joined forces with the Turks and sent troops to attack the State of Qi. First, Luoyang was besieged for a long time, so it was impossible to attack, and then it was an adventurous attack on Jinyang (now Taiyuan). Jinyang is a military town in the Northern Qi Dynasty. The emperor always stays here half the time every year, and his strategic position is obvious. So, when Jinyang was in an emergency, Gao Zhan, the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, personally led the army and set out from Yedu to "rescue at the same time". So, what role did the warrior Lan Ling play when he served as the secretariat of Bingzhou? The record in the Book of the Northern Qi Dynasty is unknown, but it simply says: "Zhou Jun and Turk Koujinyang (warrior Lan Ling) tried their best to attack it." But we can't infer that this battle is his first battle, or that his role in this battle is not important.
There are two reasons: first, because this battle was signed by his uncle himself, the important role of other generals can only be brushed aside. "Trial Strike" can be understood as that while he was in charge of local military and political power, he not only cooperated with his uncle's "wise leadership", but also played beautifully and happily in this battle. This is exactly the case: "After the big break, the enemy striker died and there was no news." Second, after the success of Jinyang's counter-offensive, Wu Chengdi immediately ordered Duan Shao, Hu, and the warrior Lan Lingshuai to lead an elite rider 1000 to solve the siege of Luoyang. Duan Shao and Hu are the most outstanding ministers in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Their achievements are outstanding and their political achievements are brilliant. The young soldier Lan Ling can be compared with them and command the three armed forces together. The military talent is naturally serious. In terms of military configuration, Duan Shao led 200 riders, Hu led 300 riders to the right army, and the warrior Lan Ling rode 500 independently. In ancient times, Zhong Jun was the commanding force and main force of the army. Two veterans are "flattered" by the warrior Lan Ling, except for his status as a prince. I think it must have something to do with his prestige and strength accumulated in the army with a "low-key" attitude.
So, what kind of troops is this 1000 elite riding? How can such a large number of troops compete with hundreds of Northern Zhou armies? According to a reasonable guess, this army should be an "armored cavalry". Although Qingqi troops have better mobility and flexibility in long-range attacks, the purpose of this unit is not to sneak attack, but to fight against large troops. It is particularly important to note that the Northern Zhou army at that time was dominated by light infantry. Therefore, to fight against such corps, the heavy cavalry of Beiqi army (we can also know the details and style of Beiqi army through the cavalry figurines unearthed from Levin's tomb in Zhang Wan village today) is more deterrent and lethal, just like the "ancient tank" of "iron beast". Knights should also be the most combative "Bai Bao Xianbei Warrior" in the Northern Qi Dynasty. They are all politically qualified (Xianbei people), militarily competent (taking one as a hundred), tenacious in style and strict in discipline. Nature is an elite force that is not afraid of suffering, death, shaking and fighting.
General Beiqi, headed by the warrior Lan Ling, led 1000 elite fighters to travel day and night. Five days later, they crossed the Yellow River in the south (it's only a thousand miles from Taiyuan to Luoyang, so at this marching speed, it shouldn't be a light cavalry), reached Luoyang directly, and settled in Mangshan (also known as Mangshan). Mangshan Mountain is a hilly loess area with an altitude of about 250 meters and an east-west direction of 190 kilometers, which is a natural barrier to the north of Luoyang. Being familiar with the terrain, the Northern Qi army immediately seized the hillside, commanding, saving its strength and "waiting for the opportunity".
When the northern Qi army confronted the northern Zhou army, it first provoked it with words, then deliberately fought and retreated, luring the northern Zhou army to "go up the mountain to confront it." Because the Northern Zhou army was dominated by infantry and the Northern Qi army was dominated by cavalry, when the Northern Zhou army infantry struggled to climb the mountain and was too tired to breathe, the Northern Qi army dismounted and took advantage of the terrain to release its strength for a long time and slash. In addition, the elite of the two wings of the Northern Qi army also came from behind the array at the right time, and the Northern Zhou army was suddenly in chaos. When it panicked, it was "thrown into the valley, and there were many dead people." At this time, the soldier Lan Ling, who was on the sidelines, saw that the attack time was ripe. He decisively waved the handsome flag, and then led 500 elite riders into heavy enemy lines. It was unstoppable and went straight to Jinyong City (the station troops city near Luoyang).
At that time, the Northern Qi military uniform was still red, while the Northern Zhou military uniform was still black. Imagine that the shining armor of 500 fighters in red robes swept through the heavy array of the Northern Zhou Army like a flood, like a dark cloud. How shocking the battle is and how spectacular the scene is! Just say that when the five hundred iron-blooded men were killed at the gate like a high wind, the northern Zhou army, which came back with a stroke of genius, was surrounded by numbers and could not be opened for a moment. The people in the city haven't recovered yet, and they don't know who this army fell from the sky. At a critical juncture, the warrior Lan Ling looks good and the advantage of good popularity once again appears. Regardless of the danger, he took off his helmet and "showed off on his back." The soldiers of the Beiqi army looked at it: Darling, isn't this our beloved American general soldier Lan Ling! Archers, why are you still standing there? Release the arrow and protect our little prince! At the sight of reinforcements coming, Lan Ling, a warrior admired by everyone, was extremely brave, and the morale of the Beiqi army guarding the city was greatly boosted, just like a collective "stimulant", and everyone bravely killed the enemy.
Look at the northern Zhou army. Although outnumbered, morale is low and confidence is insufficient. Because the northern Zhou army was unreasonable in this battle. At that time, the mother of Yuwen Hu, the prime minister of Northern Zhou Dynasty, was exiled in Zhongshan Palace in Northern Qi Dynasty because of unrest. Later, when Yuwen Hu heard that her mother was still alive, she gave the documents to the Emperor of Beiqi, hoping to return Yan and be a good neighbor. Beiqi trusted him so much that he sent Yan to see Zhou as scheduled, but Yuwen Hu turned around and left. As soon as my mother came home, he turned to collude with the Turks and committed a blatant crime. In other words, the nature of this battle, as far as the Northern Qi army is concerned, is to defend the country and be loyal to the country; As for the northern Zhou army, it was unreasonable and naturally guilty. In addition, the siege of Luoyang lasted for two months, and it was difficult to attack for a long time, with heavy casualties and shaken morale. As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain, which is true. Look at the arrows raining down on the northern qi army city at this time, shouting like thunder; At the gates, the red fighters were on the rampage, and the besieged northern Zhou army was already in a panic. Look at the other side of the mountain. There are flags everywhere, people trample on horses, and the soldiers of the Northern Zhou army are scattered around like locusts and ants. The enemy's situation naturally boosted the morale of the Northern Qi army, so the city gate was opened and attacked from inside and outside, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northern Zhou Dynasty suddenly collapsed across the board. At that time, the northern Zhou army "abandoned the camp curtain, from Mangshan to Shui Gu for three miles, and the weapons were full of Sichuan Ze".
This battle, known as "Mangshan Great Victory" in history, ended with a great defeat by the Northern Zhou Army and a great victory by the Northern Qi Army. As a result, the warrior Lan Ling became famous in the First World War, and was promoted to the official rank from the secretariat of Bingzhou, and then embarked on the political stage of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Later, veteran and veteran Duan Shao won the battle of Cooper and attacked Ding Yang, so as to "don't seal Julugong, Changle, Leping, Levin and other counties". It is with his brilliant military achievements that the warrior Lan Ling gradually rose to the position of senior officials such as Qiu, Fu and Taibao. Tragic Fate Although the soldier Lan Ling's appearance is excellent and his military achievements are outstanding, it still can't change his tragic fate. For him, the greatest sorrow in life is to be born in a royal family that is crazy to almost abnormal. Since the founding of Beiqi, there have been six emperors in just 28 years. The uncles tortured and killed each other. One is shorter than the other, and the other is crazy.
The most chilling thing about this high royal family, which is called "the home of beasts" by later generations, is that it has no sympathy for the flesh and blood, and the means of bloody killing relatives is even more brutal and cruel than imagined. Wen Xuandi Gao Yang, the second uncle of the soldier Lanling, suffers from schizophrenia and alcoholism. He is crazy all day and then listens to rumors. He put his half-brother Yonghe Shangdang Huan in a cage, stabbed him to death with a spear, set him on fire and filled him with mud and stones. Uncle Jiu not only raped Li, the widow of Levin, the second brother, but also killed his nephew Gao Shaode alive with a knife handle in front of Li. In addition, he also killed the old prince played by his sixth brother Zhao Di and his other nephew Lao Lingwang for one hundred years.
The two brothers of the soldier Lan Ling were also killed by their uncle. Gao Xiaoyu, the eldest brother of Henan, advised Hu Huanghou not to play hand-in-hand with courtiers, but was ruined by the treacherous court official, which made Gao Zhan furious. He forced his nephew who grew up together to drink 37 cups, and then ordered him to drink poisoned wine on his way home. Gao Xiaoyu was miserable and drowned. Gao Xiaowan, the third brother of Hejian, heard that the eldest brother was poisoned. He vented his resentment by digging holes in the grass and shooting arrows every day. Soon, Gao Zhan listened to the slanderers and put them in the palace to be whipped. Gao Xiaowan did not address your majesty, but called him "uncle". Gao Zhan was furious: "Who is the second uncle? Dare to call me uncle! " Gao Xiaowan is also very stubborn. Instead of changing his mind, he asked, "What can't be called an uncle?" When Gao Zhan heard this, he personally broke his nephew's leg and tibia with a big stick, causing him to die of pain.
The queen is high latitude and weak in character. Compared with his ancestors, he is more dissolute and less cruel, but he is not soft in killing relatives. At first, his younger brother, the evil king, gathered a group of people to make trouble in the palace, clamoring for rebellion, which was skillfully solved by the respected old general Hu. In fact, this matter is also a family matter of the royal family. Teenagers are not sensible, have a temper and have emotions, but Cushman & Wakefield does not intend to let go of his bold brother. Hu Taihou knew that the eldest son was narrow-minded and was afraid that he would kill the second son, so he locked the second son in his own palace. In the past, Gao Yanyan tasted every meal by the Queen Mother herself, fearing that the boss would poison him. A few months later, Gao Wei tricked 14-year-old Gao Yan into the palace and beheaded Hu Taihou while he was asleep. Gao Yan's four posthumous children were also "born for a few months and died quietly" and were "eradicated" by their uncles.
Living in such a horrible emperor's house, you can't help but be nervous. This also made the soldier Lan Ling cautious all his life and tried every means to protect himself. After the "Great Victory in Mangshan", Wu Chengdi gave him 20 beautiful concubines, but he was "just one of them" because he was jealous because he was afraid of being too ostentatious. In addition, when he served as a local official such as Sizhou Pastoral and Qingying Prefecture Secretariat, he was "quite rich" and wanted to self-destruct his image under the bad reputation of "greedy and disabled" to avoid being suspected by the emperor because of his "too strong prestige". But his mind was seen through by a subordinate officer named Xiang Yuan. Xiang wants to spread all over the world, pointing out: "If the court is jealous of the king, it will be easy, but haste makes waste." Hearing this, the soldier Lan Ling burst into tears and immediately knelt down and begged for "the art of asylum". From this point of view, the warrior Lan Ling, such a mighty general, had to endure humiliation to survive under the pressure of abnormal political slaughter, and all kinds of pain and sadness can be imagined. Later, I was willing to give him advice and let him pretend to be sick at home. "Don't plan ahead." The soldier Lan Ling was deeply impressed and acted according to the plan. However, he is the only hero in the Northern Qi Dynasty who can be good at fighting. He is old and old, killing and killing, so he can't retreat. Once, Jianghuai was disturbed and the military affairs were in an emergency. He dared not worship the general again, but felt sorry for himself: "I was swollen last year, why not send it today?" I wish I could punch the patient in the face and fill him up. From then on, the warrior Lan Ling deliberately "didn't treat the disease" and tried every means to get sick, so as to avoid disaster.
As a general with troops, Lan Ling, a soldier who has been baptized by blood and fire for many times, is naturally not a person who is afraid of death, but the abnormal psychological logic of the emperor has made him fall into the double embarrassment of losing and winning. Lost the war, blame him for incompetence and lost his ancestral home; I won the war, but I was afraid that his prestige was too strong and ruined the king's dream of spring and autumn.
However, no matter how thoughtful and careful the Master Lan Ling was, he met the emperor's "muzzle" inadvertently. When Gao Wei and the warrior Lan Ling talked about "The Great Victory of Mangshan" again, they advised that "going into the war is too deep and there is no regret for losing". When the soldier Lan Ling heard that his brother was so considerate and distressed, he felt a warm current in his heart and enthusiastically posted a sentence, "The family is kind, but he has no feelings." . This is a piece of advice, but it sounds very unpleasant to the narrow-minded master Gao Wei. Just as his father Gao Zhan doesn't like the soldier's third brother Gao Xiaowan calling him uncle, whose family is important? Who is your family? Gao Wei began to wonder whether the warrior Lan Ling, who has the relieving power, should replace him, which would really turn "state affairs" into "family affairs".
After the warrior Lan Ling said something wrong, although he kept a low profile again and again and deliberately downplayed himself, he could not escape the tragic fate of "you let the minister die, and the minister had to die". One day in May of Wuping's fourth year (573), the late Lord Gao Wei sent an envoy to visit his younger brother, and the gift was a glass of poisoned wine. The warrior Lan Ling was so angry that he said to his beloved Princess Zheng, "I am loyal to my work, and I am embarrassed by heaven!" Zheng Fei advised him, "Why don't you ask for Tian Yan?" Naive Zheng Fei thought it might just be a misunderstanding. As long as the Lanling warrior intercedes with the emperor, she can be reborn. The soldier Lan Ling knows very well that it is useless to ask for an explanation from the backward main high latitude. He remembered that a year ago, Hu Luguang, an etiquette veteran who fought side by side with himself, was lured into the palace by his late master for no reason and was brutally strangled with a bowstring. If you rush into the palace, you still don't know how to die. Choosing to die with dignity is better than dying anyway. He doesn't want to see such a despicable king, and he doesn't need to see it. In despair, the soldier Lan Ling left a sentence, "How can you see the beauty of heaven?" So he swallowed the wine in one gulp and died in this messy world.
Before the death of the warrior Lan Ling, there was an intriguing move, that is, he wanted to "burn all the money". From this point of view, he is really not a greedy person. Compared with the extravagance of the ladies in the Queen's Palace and the luxury of the Queen's Palace, his ambition of "greedy for money" is really too small. Burning all these "responsibility certificates" shows that he wants to get rid of himself and others.
