Synopsis of the story of "Flowers Blooming and Turning into Poison (Lao Pang Ba)"
One is a magnificent prince, and the other is a high-ranking grand master, who is either cunning or hypocritical. In the eyes of others, the two rival politicians have an ambiguity that is reserved and difficult to express.
Deliberately forging evidence and successfully blinding everyone, the Eighth Prince was identified as the mastermind of the murder case of the Ghost King of the Heaven and Earth Alliance and the assassination of the Liao envoy. The Eighth Prince willingly shouldered the crime and was exiled thousands of miles away. Pang Ji was unwilling to do so, so he secretly found out the truth and set up a scheme to ask the emperor to recall the eight kings as envoys to Liao. The peace talks between the eight kings and Liao were successful. Unexpectedly, on the way back, they were assassinated by the Liao warlords. Pang Ji led Feiyun. Qi arrived in time to rescue the Eight Kings, but he himself collapsed due to overexertion. It turned out that Pang Ji had been sending secret guards to inquire about the Liao Kingdom's movements during the peace talks between the Eight Kings. He even inserted two cronies into the Liao Kingdom to send letters to the Eight Kings to discuss strategies. On the Lantern Festival, the Eight Kings were summoned to the palace in advance. In his early years, he experienced the case of civet cat for crown prince. Emperor Zhao Zhen, who was raised by the Eight Kings, unknowingly had feelings for the Eight Kings more than father, son, uncle and nephew. Zhao Zhen confided his feelings to the Eight Kings, and the Eight Kings responded calmly. On the way to the Shangyuan Festival night banquet, the eight princes were distressed by the fact that the Queen Mother had not delegated power and Zhao Zhen was unable to govern personally. Unexpectedly, they were led by an old slave in the Queen Mother's palace to the mausoleum to secretly summon the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother made her point of view clear. Worried about Zhao Zhen's attachment to the eight kings, if the eight kings disappeared, they would delegate power to the emperor. The eight kings acquiesced to the Queen Mother's wishes and set fire to the palace. Upon hearing this, Pang Ji rushed to the mausoleum and broke into the sea of fire to protect the eight kings. The fire was extinguished and Pang Ji was burned in many places. The Eighth Prince also went to the south to recuperate because his eyes were burned. The emperor came into power and intended to suppress the power of the Pang family. Zhao Zhen personally wrote a secret letter and agreed with the eight kings that as long as the power of the Pang party was eliminated, he and Pang Ji would be allowed to retire to their countryside. The eight kings were forced to return to Beijing and impeach Pang Ji for colluding with the enemy and treason, and for deliberately treason. Pang Ji was banned and awaited execution, but he calmly accepted everything the eight kings did. The Eight Kings went to visit Pang Ji, and the two exchanged feelings. The Eight Kings decided to save Pang Ji, and forced the emperor to agree to send Pang Ji to the Liao Kingdom again to search for evidence to prove Pang Ji's innocence. The Eight Kings once again encountered a night attack by the main war generals in the Liao Kingdom. The Eight Kings had already planned to bite the assassins and injured themselves in the neck. The injuries were serious. The Eight Kings obtained the previous correspondence with Pang Ji. On the way back, he died due to his already weak body and his injuries worsened. Pang Ji was rescued. The emperor gave him his skeleton and allowed him to return to his hometown to rest in his old age. Before leaving Beijing, Pang Ji finally understood the Eight Kings' intentions - sacrificing himself in exchange for Pang Ji and the country. Pang Ji took a period of earthly life away from the prosperous city and dreamed of it.
