Emperor Sui Yang

Gao Yue and Gao Lande are half-siblings, and Gao Lande is 31 years old this year.

His biological mother, Mrs. Wang, was one of the favorite concubines of Empress Qi Gaowei. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, she was taken captive to Chang'an, had her face tattooed, and became a prostitute.

Gao Lande was born in a brothel, and after he was born, he was rescued by the people of Qi who were hiding in Chang'an. His mother, Mrs. Wang, committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in order to cover her son.

Gao Lande was brought back to Qingzhou, which is later known as Weifang City, Shandong, and was handed over to his sister Gao Yue to raise him.

At that time, Gao Yue didn't intend to tell his younger brother his true identity, hoping that he could live his life like an ordinary person, but there were people around him.

Because at that time, many Qi people still held the fantasy of restoring the country, and Gao Lande was their only hope, so they kept instilling in Gao Lande the idea of ​​restoring Daqi and brainwashing him.

In other words, Gao Lande has been a puppet since he was a child, and his fate is actually tragic.

Later, in the third year of Kaihuang, some Qi people held high the anti-banner and occupied Qingzhou, and then gradually invaded the surrounding counties and counties, and there were many responders.

Yang Jian ordered Yang Su to be the commander of the army to lead the army to put down the rebellion. Yang Yue also went with him at that time, but within four months, the gang of old Qi rebels were suppressed, and Gao Yue also took his younger brother Gao Lande to start a long journey life in exile.

Yecheng, the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty at that time, had been reduced to ruins. Gao Yue thought that only when they fled to Jinyang would their siblings be sheltered. Qi Guchen.

Her choice was undoubtedly right, but after the Yang Su brothers suppressed the rebellion, they pried out the matter about Gao Lande from the mouth of a Qi Chen leader, and captured Gao Lande, which was undoubtedly a great achievement, so Yang Su Su divided his troops around and began to hunt and kill.

And Gao Yue was also completely separated from his younger brother on the way to be hunted down.

Goodbye now, it has been more than 20 years.

Over the past 20 years, many things will change, and so will people.

The tragic circumstances of Gao Lande's life destined his character to be distorted. After being separated from his sister, he went to the mountains to be a bandit, worked as a coolie on the pier, killed people, and did many bad things.

Later, he was arrested by the government and fled to Guanzhong. Because he had no household registration, it was inconvenient to go anywhere. So he killed a family of four in a remote village near the capital, and took the deceased's household registration badge. In this way, they got into Daxing City.

As the so-called hermit lives in the city, he feels that he is the safest in the capital, and the news here is well-informed. Maybe one day in the future, he will be able to find out the whereabouts of his sister.

But in fact, it is difficult for an ordinary person to inquire about news or a person.

The sister's whereabouts were not found out, but an enemy, Hu Lu Xiaoqing, was found instead.

At that time, Hulu Xiaoqing was not Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but Minister of Taifu Temple. This person handed over the Jade Seal of Chuanguo that Gao Wei had given him back then and gave it to the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. For the crime of treason, Gao Lande hated this person to the bone.

So he managed to sneak into Hulu's mansion. He is from Qi, and he speaks with a Qi accent, and Hulu Xiaoqing is also from Qi, and all the servants in his house are also from Qi, because he doesn't care about people from Guanzhong. trust.

Gao Lande is tall, strong, able to endure hardships, and is from Qi, so he was chosen by the housekeeper and entered the residence of Hulu Xiaoqing.

In the beginning, because he was a stranger and was not trusted, he was sent to the outskirts of Beijing to farm. This kind of work lasted for seven years.

When Hulu Xiaoqing became Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the number of slaves and servants was expanded. Gao Lande, as an old man, was recalled to the mansion to be in charge of firewood, that is, buying firewood and chopping firewood.

He wholeheartedly wanted to kill Hulu Xiaoqing, but he never had a chance. A servant had no chance to get close to his master. Sometimes even for half a year, he might not even be able to see Hulu Xiaoqing.

But he was patient enough, because he was brainwashed very thoroughly when he was young, and he couldn't get over this hurdle if he didn't kill Hulu Xiaoqing.

Since he was responsible for the supply of firewood, he was naturally close to the kitchen, so he began to learn cooking from a teacher.

In ancient times, any skill was not something you could learn if you wanted to. Simply cooking a meal was taught by a teacher, not an apprentice, no one taught you, and would prevent you from stealing it, because it was someone else's meal. The guy who taught the apprentice to starve the master to death is the truth.

So stealing cooking skills is not easy, and it takes another five years.

In the end, he succeeded, replaced the original cook, entered the important department of the kitchen, and began to add extra nutrition to the meals.

Here comes the problem, he doesn't know what to add to poison Hulu Xiaoqing to death, since he doesn't know, he can add it casually.

As the saying goes, medicine is three-point poisonous, the little money he saved was not enough to buy medicine, so he stole from the medicine storehouse in the mansion, whatever he stole, he only dared to add a little bit at a time, otherwise the taste of the food would change, Drug storehouses will also find medicinal materials stolen.

Occasionally, some medicinal ingredients were added, which actually enhanced the deliciousness of the meal, so his position as a cook became more and more stable.

First, Hulu Xiaoqing's wife died, and then the child born to the concubine died innocently. It was not until the 19th year of Kaihuang that Hulu Xiaoqing finally died.

It is not clear whether he died of toxins accumulated in his body after taking medicine and food all year round, or died of a normal illness. Anyway, Gao Lande felt that it was his credit.

The great revenge has been avenged, and he doesn't want to stay here anymore, but the problem is that he is a slave and has no right to choose.

But I don't know if it was luck, or what happened, but he was actually bought by the Yuegong Mansion.

He was confident that it wasn't Yang Su who had discovered his identity, because there were more than a dozen slaves who were bought together.

Young people are arrogant, what Yang Su did was just to deceive others.

Yang Su is also an enemy, if he hadn't sent someone to hunt him down, he and his sister would not have separated, so Gao Lande planned to repeat the old trick and use the same trick he used against Hu Lu Xiaoqing on Yang Su.

As everyone knows, Yang Su is guarding against him like a thief. Besides, Nuo Da's Yuegong Mansion has countless servants, so how can he be a leader? Yang Su's cooks are all the top cooks.

Although Yang Su's sons separated, they did not set up another mansion. Everyone lived in the Yue Gong Mansion, and there were a lot of people in the mansion. Gao Lande looked very small here, as small as if he didn't exist.

But Yang Su deliberately corrupted him, so he gave Gao Lande an errand to look after the warehouse, and even deliberately instigated people to lure Gao Lande into gambling disgust.

The wages of the servants are very shabby. If they were transferred to someone else’s house, there would be no wages. That is to say, Yang Su was rich and mighty. He would give some rewards to his servants during festivals or other good days, but this reward , certainly not high enough to gamble with Lande.

So he took advantage of the convenience of looking at the warehouse, sneaked out some treasures, took them out and sold them, and used them as gambling money.

Under Yang Su's deliberate care, he never missed a shot.

Gambling pornography has always been regardless of family, Yang Su has many gambling houses in the capital, and Gao Lande's money was finally returned to Yang Su's hands.

This is called left-handed and right-handed, and Yang Su is not at a loss.

Gamblers must be lustful, and every gambling house has prostitutes. Gao Lande experienced the happiest time in his life.

It wasn't until Yang Su passed away that he was handed over to King Qin. At that time, he woke up from a dream. It turned out that Yang Su knew who he was all along.

Now he rented an old house in Daxing South City with the fifty pennies given by the King of Qin. He was reluctant to buy the house because he would have no money after buying it.

Heping Square is located in the southwest corner of the capital. It is a chaotic place. The streets are full of sewage and the roads are muddy. It is a gathering place for gangsters, but he is not afraid, because his sister is now a member of the King of Qin. No one dared to touch him.

On this day, Gao Yue came to visit her younger brother. She deliberately dressed as a peasant woman and wore a curtain on her head to hide her appearance and avoid unnecessary troubles.

"Why don't you listen to me, the money is for you to buy a house, why are you renting it?" Gao Yue frowned after entering the simple hut.

Gao Lande smelled the body fragrance from Elder Sister's body and was quite intoxicated. He said with a smile:
"Save some money and buy some outfits, so that I can set up a stall in the capital to sell some food, and I won't have to rely on elder sister to help me in the future."

It was a very good reason. Gao Yue nodded, took off the curtain, and sat down on the only long bench in the house. Feeling the dampness and musty smell in the house, he couldn't help frowning:
"Let's clean up this place. Life is not like this. It's not easy for you and me to reunite. We must live a good life in the future. Sister can help me, so naturally I won't shirk."

Gao Lande nodded, but his eyes were always on his sister's body, looking up and down.

Gao Yue's appearance and body are undoubtedly a great temptation for every man, and Gao Lande has not seen his sister for more than 20 years. This reunion, he can't help being surprised by her appearance. It is so upside down.

There are so many beautiful concubines in Yang Su's mansion, and once in a while, Gao Lande will meet her in his dream and go to Wushan together.

There are too many fantasies, but there is no mouth to eat. If things go on like this, it will inevitably lead to evil thoughts.

Today, he actually had evil thoughts about his sister, as expected of the Gao family, passed down in one continuous line.

"rude!"

Gao Yue, who noticed the clue, reprimanded the other party, put on the curtain fence again, then got up, and said:

"I'll see you again when I'm free."

"Is sister already a member of King Qin?" Gao Lande asked with a smile.

Gao Yue immediately became angry: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gao Lande said with a smile: "If it wasn't for my sister being favored by King Qin, why would he take me out from Yang Su and give me money to buy a house?"

"Bastard!" Gao Yue scolded angrily, turned around and left, but was hugged by Gao Lande behind him, and the curtain on his head was also pulled off.

"Evil! What are you going to do?" Gao Yue's face paled suddenly, and he resisted frantically.

Gao Lande didn't speak, and directly tripped Gao Yue, knocked him to the ground, siche the opponent's clothes, no matter how much Gao Yue scolded and beat him, he didn't make a sound.

At this time, the door of the house was suddenly knocked open, and Cui Wei rushed in with a dagger in his hand, stabbing the opponent's back with a knife.

"No!" Gao Yue exclaimed, but it was too late, she looked at her brother with a pale face, and fell limp on her body.

At this moment, Gao Yue had a mental breakdown.
