Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 742: Only now there is still a clear moon, which once shone on the thousands of horses of King Gao

After this tearful banquet, "Chi Le Chuan" came to an end.

Gao Huan was seriously ill and called his son Gao Cheng to take charge of his funeral arrangements.

This episode is very famous in history, and many people marveled at Gao Huan's ability to judge people and his scheming, so this episode was also filmed in the drama to reflect Gao Huan's level of political scheming and to briefly explain the endings of some subsequent characters.

Let’s talk about Hou Jing first. After Gao Aocao’s death, he had become the top person in charge of the Henan region of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Let me put it this way, if Gao Huan is Liu Bei, Hou Jing is Guan Yu. Not only did his internal status and qualifications improve, he also had his own independent power and territory, making him the second most powerful person in the Eastern Wei group in practical terms.

Therefore, for the Gao family, Hou Jing was a serious internal threat.

Gao Huan understood this a little bit, and his successor Gao Cheng was also very clear about it, so he looked worried, and Gao Huan gave his son some instructions.

"Hou Jing is a tyrant and has been operating in Henan for more than ten years. He has deep roots. He dare not move while I am here, but you can't. So after I die, don't hold a secret funeral. Summon Murong Shaozhong secretly. Only he can deal with Hou Jing."

"Ever since Erzhu Zhao was defeated and Murong Shaozong surrendered to me, I have been keeping him in reserve, just to give him to you. This way, he will be loyal to you."

Murong Shaozhong also appeared earlier, he was more of a counselor and was involved with Erzhu Zhao.

He gave Erzhu Zhao many good ideas, but the other party did not listen and was finally defeated by Gao Huan. At that time, many viewers said that he was a stupid teammate and could not lead the team.

Those who didn't read the spoilers said that Murong Shaozhong would be given an important position after he defected to Gao Huan, but he never appeared.

Some people had previously wondered whether Gao Huan was unaware of his talents, or whether he was worried that he was a traitor and did not trust him, and so was waiting here.

After Gao Huan finished speaking, the drama also used flashbacks and subtitles to roughly introduce the follow-up of Hou Jing and Murong Shaozhong.

After Gao Huan's death, Hou Jing indeed rebelled. Later, Gao Cheng followed his father's instructions and sent Murong Shaozhong to fight the enemy, which shocked Hou Jing.

"Who told the Xianbei kid to send him here? Could it be that King Gao is still alive?"

Later, Murong Shaozong indeed defeated Hou Jing. Hou Jing fled south with 800 remnants, causing the Hou Jing Rebellion, which directly led to the demise of Southern Liang.

After talking about Hou Jing, Gao Huan commented on his important officials one by one and told his son which ones he could trust.

"She Digan and Hulu Jin are very influential in Gaoche and Xianbei. One is a relative, and the other has followed me for many years. They are both upright and will definitely not betray you."

The screen then flashed the ending of the two people. After Gao Huan's death, She Digan served as Taifu, Taishi, Guangping Duke, and Kaifu Yitong Sansi of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Later, he assisted Gao Yang in founding the country and served as Taizai and Zhangwu King of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He was loyal all his life.

Hulu Jin later helped Gao Cheng repel the Western Wei Dynasty. He and his son Hulu Guang were the pillars of the Northern Qi Dynasty. They were deeply trusted by successive monarchs and lived to be eighty years old.

Gao Huan also mentioned Zhu Hun Daoyuan and Liu Fengsheng, saying that these two people were from the neighboring Western Wei and had no way out, so they could be trusted.

The endings of the two were not wrong, but Zhu Hun Daoyuan later became a famous general of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He followed Gao Yang to conquer foreign races, made great military achievements, and was named King of Fufeng.

Liu Fengcheng's achievements were far inferior to the former. He was defeated and died on the battlefield, but it also proved his loyalty.

Afterwards, Gao Huan said that Heba Yanguoer and Pan Le were both good people with honest and kind heart; Han Gui was upright and had little emotional intelligence, so he should be more lenient to him; Duan Shao was kind-hearted, wise and brave, and among all our relatives, he was the only one who could be entrusted with military affairs.

These people were indeed loyal to the Northern Qi Dynasty, held important positions, made great contributions, and had outstanding achievements.

[Peng Xiangle's confidants are hard to come by, so we protect them]

There are two interpretations of this sentence. One is that this person is so successful that he surpasses his master and is difficult to figure out, so one must be on guard against him. Another interpretation is that this person is a rare confidant and should be protected and used.

Most explanations are taken from the former, but the TV series somewhat neutralizes this because of the relatively likable portrayal of Peng Le.

"Peng Le has always been proud of his achievements and prestige in the army. He once let Yuwen Tai escape. You are still young and his mind is hard to predict, so you must be on guard."

Judging from the outcome, it also shows that what Gao Huan said was correct. In his later years, Peng Le behaved ominously and was killed by Gao Yang, who was afraid of his old minister. This shows that the three masters of the Gao family had an average impression of him.

In the official history, Gao Huan mentioned this many people, and basically all of them were correct.

However, because it is a TV series, a few more characters with frequent appearances were added, mainly to explain the endings of the characters.

Among them, Gao Yang was also mentioned by Gao Huan: "Although your second brother is ugly, he is smart and steady, and is a useful talent. Our Gao family is small, and we need capable relatives to defend the country."

This part is more or less embellished in the script. In history, Gao Huan also had a different view of Gao Yang, such as the so-called "cutting the Gordian knot" allusion.

But in fact, apart from Gao Cheng, the eldest son, Gao Huan's favorite were his younger sons, and Gao Yang was a completely invisible person.

After all, no matter how good King Gao was at judging people, he could not have imagined that his eldest son, the heir he had personally trained, would be killed by a cook. Gao Yang took advantage of the situation and became the founding emperor of Northern Qi.

So this is the pure Sky Eye cheat, and it also leads to an ending for Gao Yang. After all, he is the founding emperor, so you can’t help but mention him.

This crazy emperor, who was famous in history for his absurdity and mental illness, actually did a good job in the early days, especially in fighting against foreign races. He was known as the "Heroic Emperor". If it weren't for his alcoholism and the fact that he started the internal strife of the Gao family, the ending of the Northern Qi Dynasty would be hard to predict.

This plot seems simple, but it immediately establishes Gao Huan's status. Especially since it happened in official history, it makes him even more awesome.

This person has figured out people's hearts and minds, discovered potential risks, and made backup arrangements. It's really scary.

It is said that Yuwen Tai was better than Gao Huan in both civil and military affairs, but he was far inferior in terms of vision in entrusting one's affairs after death.

Gao Cheng's murder was an accident and Gao Huan could not have known about it. Putting this aside, there was nothing wrong with his arrangements and instructions.

Yuwen Tai regarded his nephew Yuwen Hu as a person whom he could entrust his son to, but Zhuge Liang killed his two sons in three years. If it weren't for the youngest son Yuwen Yong who was so capable and successfully counterattacked, the country would have belonged to Yuwen Hu.

How many emperors and even dynasties were ruined because of their failure to judge people properly. From this perspective, Gao Huan ranks among the top in the entire Chinese history.

If this part of the plot reflects Gao Huan's ability, the following part of the plot also shows Gao Huan's personal charm.

In the following days, Gao Huan's condition became increasingly serious. All the ministers and family members who came to visit him looked sad. For example, Lou Zhaojun, Erzhu, and several of his sons cried several times.

Only Gao Huan himself was very open-minded. He was not afraid or depressed because of his serious illness. He was even in the mood to discuss how to ride a horse with his son.

On this day, a solar eclipse occurred in the sky, which was considered a very unlucky thing in ancient times, indicating that an important person might die.

Everyone thought of Gao Huan who was seriously ill, and everyone was talking about it, even those in the palace were no exception.

Even though Lou Zhaojun ordered severe punishment, the rumors could not be suppressed, and Gao Huan eventually got to know the news.

When Gao Huan heard about this, he did not get angry. Instead, he had someone push him outside to watch the solar eclipse, and then laughed out loud.

"Can a person like me predict the celestial phenomena? It's worth dying for! (The solar eclipse happened to me, so why should I regret dying)"

The little loach from Huaishuo Town got rid of the mud on its body little by little, and worked hard to transform into a carp. It swam to the Yellow River with all its might, giving it its all, and finally crossed the Dragon Gate.

On the first day of the first lunar month in the fifth year of Wuding in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, February 547, 2 AD, Gao Huan died in Jinyang at the age of 13. The Eastern Wei court posthumously conferred Gao Huan the title of King of Qi, posthumously named King Xianwu, and temple name Taizu. Three years later, after the establishment of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Huan was posthumously conferred the title of Emperor by his son Gao Yang, posthumously named Shenwu, and temple name Gaozu. He is known in history as the Northern Qi Emperor Shenwu…

The last part of the TV series is about a few hundred years later, when Yuan Mei, a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty, passed by Yecheng and was inspired to write a poem - "Passing by Ye to Pay Homage to Gao Shenwu"

After singing the Yinshan Chi-Le Song, the hero sheds many tears in his old age.

He holds the Tianhu of the Wei and Wu dynasties in life, and in death he is awarded the title of Tiao Hou to kill the bandit Ge.

The spread of Huayi rumors in the six towns was revealed, and wind and rain in Kowloon gathered in the Zhanghe River.

Only now there is still the clear moon, which once shone on King Gao's ten thousand horses passing by.

When countless viewers saw the words "Chi Le Chuan" was over, they felt lost and expressed their emotions on the Internet, bringing the final and most explosive popularity to the drama.

[Wow, woo, woo, woo, Wei Yang, you have no heart, Gao Wang, my Gao Wang]

[King Gao, lead the brothers to charge again]

[Gao Huan tried his best to climb up the ladder, he did everything he could, he was despicable and shameless, he betrayed his alliance and launched a surprise attack, isn't this an alternative and innocent heart that wants to stand out]

[In fact, I have never liked Gao Huan. I think he is too despicable, insidious, selfish, and has no bottom line. Many plots before have been scolding him, but when I saw the final ending, I still shed tears. I can only say that he deserves the title of a hero.]

[Yubi City, maybe Gao Huan took too many shortcuts in the early stage, and he didn’t have the emperor’s order, so he was doomed in the end]

[I won’t comment on his civil and military achievements, but his charisma is definitely top-notch. It was too difficult for him to start from the bottom. Even if he can achieve half of his success, he is still a hero among men.]

[The template of the male protagonist of Qidian Historical Web novel. If I hadn’t read the popular history science, I would have really thought that this drama was made up]

[Wei Yang had a great time acting, and I had a great time watching it. In my opinion, this drama may not be Wei Yang's best work, but the character of Gao Huan is definitely the most complex and fitting role he has ever played. As many netizens said, Wei Yang was playing himself at certain moments.]

[I previously rated Zhu Di in The Glory of the Ming Dynasty as the best historical character in the past decade. Now it seems that I was too early to say that. It is really hard for me to tell the difference between the two.]

[Zhu Yuanzhang starts with a bowl, I, King Gao, start with a face]

[Old Zhu may not be bad looking, otherwise Empress Ma would not have carried hot cakes to save people. But he is definitely not as good looking as Prince Gao. The rich and beautiful woman is paying for him, which is more dramatic than a play.]

[Gao Huan, a model of a success-seeker]

[The great prime minister of Eastern Wei and the Emperor Shenwu of Northern Qi were nothing but the dreams of a small gatekeeper in Huaishuo Town]

[Hey, you thief, how dare you destroy my moral integrity?]

【…】

The entire internet was bombarded with various comments and discussions on "Chi Le Chuan" and the character Gao Huan, and the aftereffects lasted for more than a week. Netizens paid tribute to King Gao every day, and various videos and posts related with feelings and sighs emerged in an endless stream.

To quote a netizen’s brilliant comment, Gao Huan could never have imagined that more than a thousand years later, there would be so many people mourning for him on the Internet…

But the crying was not in vain. Gao Huan not only successfully rose to the top of the historical circle, but also had a wide reputation among the general public, catching up with several super popular emperors such as Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shimin, and Qin Shihuang.

Not only Gao Huan, but many other popular characters in the drama such as Erzhu Rong, Yuwen Tai, and Hou Jing have also become popular.

As a result, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a dynasty that has always been unpopular, has become extremely popular. Related videos, novels, films, secondary creations, and even tourist attractions and museums have been sought after by a large number of drama fans and netizens.

Under the official Weibo accounts of Wei Yang and Blue Whale, countless people petition for the release of the second part of "Chi Le Chuan" every day.

For example, let Boss Wei play Lanling King again...

There are also a large number of people who chose to watch the show twice or three times, and began to dig deep into the details of the TV series, and actually unearthed a lot of little surprises and famous memes.

For example, Gao Huan was frugal by nature, so he did not use gold or jade for his horse and weapons, which made him different from some people with extravagant personalities.

Gao Huan also loved his people and cherished food. Whenever he passed by a rice field, he would dismount and pass by holding the reins. He treated soldiers and civilians with kindness and amiability.

Gao Huan was good at communication and could get along well with both Han and Xianbei people. Therefore, when facing Han people, his speech and behavior were all Han, and when facing Xianbei people, he switched to the style of the Six Towns.
When he was young, he loved drinking and had a very high alcohol tolerance. After he took on important responsibilities, he only drank three cups each time to avoid making mistakes. Therefore, except for a few scenes in the whole play, Gao Huan basically did not raise his glass more than three times.

These details may not seem noticeable at first glance, but the more you look at them carefully, the more fully developed the character of Gao Huan becomes.

As for the memes, such as Prince Gao's wife-control and princess-loving nature, the fact that whoever strikes first in a fight between Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai loses, and Princess Cricket's nickname [Unhappy Old Man], etc., they have also brought a lot of fun to the netizens and are an important magic weapon for maintaining and spreading "Chi Le Chuan".

As of the finale, the ratings of "Chi Le Chuan" successfully exceeded 3, the average daily popularity on Hualuo.com was 20000, and the number of views on PPTV exceeded billion.

According to the popular third-party statistics on average episode playback volume in the past two years, "Chi Le Chuan" has achieved over 2 million views, ranking first during its serialization period, far exceeding the second-ranked "Dear, Beloved", and also set new records for the fastest average episode playback volume of over 2 million and over million.

In addition to being extremely popular in China, "Chi Le Chuan" has also achieved great success overseas.

Japan, Thailand, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia...

According to rough calculations, the overseas audience of "Chi Le Chuan" is between 3 and 5 million.

Of course, this statement is too exaggerated and only covers a certain range. However, judging from the influence and data of various countries, the actual audience is at least over 10 million, and even tens of millions.

Li Xin, who played the role of Dalzhu, went to Japan to attend an event after the show became popular. Nearly 200 people came to support and greet him. Except for a small number of fans, most of them were fans of "Chi Le Chuan" or liked him because of that.

Several actors who have opened social media accounts overseas have seen varying degrees of growth in the number of fans on their social accounts.

For example, Zhang Zhen, who played Yuwen Tai, gained hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram in just over ten days, and more than 70% of them were overseas viewers.

Boss Wei, who already had a lot of popularity, has gained a lot of fans abroad this time. Perhaps it is because of the foreign monk filter, Boss Wei has been deified by these people.

【God of Chinese Drama】

This was first created on a forum in Japan, then spread on the Internet, and finally sold domestically.

In the words of a student studying in Japan, the status of Hayao Miyazaki in the hearts of Japanese comic fans in China is even higher than that of Boss Wei in the hearts of fans of Chinese dramas in Japan and even Asia...

However, even in China, Boss Wei's status on the small screen is not much different from that of Hayao Miyazaki in the Japanese animation industry.

Even if you feel dissatisfied and resentful, it is futile to say anything in the face of real results.

If the "Joy of Life" trilogy made Boss Wei a god, then "Nirvana in Fire" consolidated his status as a god, and "Day and Night" increased his glory.

Now, "Chi Le Chuan" has completely put Boss Wei on the throne of God, and it is not so easy for him to step down...
