Synopsis

Those who mind transmigration or changes to the historical timeline should proceed with caution. The path of a brilliant young prodigy to becoming a powerful minister, and the king of memes at the end of Eastern Wei. He was said to be brilliant, yet also lecherous by nature. He was said to be resourceful, yet far too arrogant and domineering. He lived recklessly, but was too careless, and died at the hands of his own kitchen servant! After “I, I, the emperor, am a dog’s foot!” all that remained was, “What a pity, what a pity.” As Gao Huan’s eldest legitimate son, Gao Cheng was clever and quick-witted from childhood, quick to react, eloquent, and handsome! He also made a remarkable success of his career! When the Northern Wei split into Eastern and Western Wei, he was separated from his childhood sweetheart. When they met again, they failed to recognize each other. The womanizing Gao Cheng thought she was merely a passing romance, never realizing she was his childhood sweetheart. They could only lament how difficult it was to meet, and how painful it was to part, as the east wind weakened and the flowers withered. His feelings ran deep, but some choices simply had to be made! His father handled military affairs while he took charge of civil administration. Together, they played good cop and bad cop: one arrested people while the other let them go, one called for executions while the other pleaded for mercy. Alternating between advancing and retreating, they cracked down on corruption, put the government in order, weakened the powerful aristocratic families, and promoted Han Chinese clans. In the end, they transformed a makeshift regime into a formal governing body and laid the foundations for Northern Qi. His father, Gao Huan, died in sorrow after failing to capture Yubi despite a long siege. As the legitimate eldest son, Gao Cheng inherited his father’s mantle. But it was lonely at the top, and he feared he couldn’t keep the situation under control or protect his mother and brothers. In a fit of rage, he blurted out the astonishing line, “Why is the Son of Heaven plotting a rebellion?” Yet just as he had gained complete control and reached the height of his power, he was assassinated by his own cook! He died at the height of his success, with his beloved by his side, just when the throne was within reach! Was it truly an accident, or a long-planned conspiracy? In the end, he had also let his guard down! Riding through the snow toward the ends of the earth together: it was nothing but a dying hallucination.

[Shy] Introduce yourself to Gao Cheng! One of the founders of the Northern Qi Dynasty, unfortunately died young, yes, a tragic story [face covering] But his death was just an accident. If history had not had this accident, I even believe that China would not have had the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The main line of history is the original text, the emotional line is purely fictitious, the basic historical records of political measures, except for the dialogues, which are mostly fictitious, are all imagined on the basis of history. In short, it is a historical text! History is interesting and rich. If you pay attention, you will find that those people in the Southern and Northern Dynasties are very "gods". This god either means great, or neurotic or big-headed. The protagonist Gao Cheng is a bit like this. Gao Cheng's story is interesting because he has a lot of jokes, and he is the king of good topics. I think he is a master of time management. He only handles government affairs in an orderly manner, and he has to travel to two cities to patrol everywhere. He is so busy, and he can't forget to pick up girls. Therefore, his true story is particularly interesting. As for whether the novel is interesting, you can judge for yourself after reading it [face covering], because I am the author, and I feel a little embarrassed to sell melons.

The knowledge is rich, and you can see the daily accumulation. However, biographies of historical figures may not be liked by many people. After all, there are not many fans of history, but I just like history. But you can make an extra chapter in the biography of a historical figure, which will not affect the biography, and there won't be too many regrets.

It's a pretty good historical novel that adds a lot of details based on the original historical materials.

Very good, the historical line is rigorous, and the love between men and women is deep-rooted! Li Changyi was manipulated by Gao Cheng... If I just come down to something real. What a great opportunity! The heroine is still too pitiful
