Jin Guangyao, a character who grew up in a special environment. He is eager to stand out and wants to show his talent and abilities. In order to succeed, he gave it his all. However, the history of his ascension to the throne is full of twists and turns and contradictions.
First of all, in order to increase his popularity, he formed the Jinlan Alliance with Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue, but he turned his back on Nie Mingjue in an instant, showing his ruthless side. In addition, in order to gain a foothold in the Jin family, he was ostracized and humiliated by his stepfather many times, and this scene was witnessed by Lan Er himself, which made people sigh about his suffering. In addition, he also had the crime of killing his wife and children and covering up the marriage of close relatives.
Even in the process of seizing power, he used Wei Wuxian to make Lan Zhan wait for 16 years. These evil deeds are undoubtedly impressive, however, it is difficult to let go of the fact that Jin Guangyao still has people who defend him, arguing that he is not completely ruthless, and he also has his own suffering. Among them, there may be two reasons: his good looks, and his deep friendship with Lan Da. How deep is Jin Guangyao's friendship with Lan Da?
According to the detailed disclosure of "Ink Fragrance and Copper Stink", the Gusu Lan clan was suppressed by the Wen clan, and Lan Xichen fled with the classics, but fortunately Jin Guangyao helped. At that time, Jin Guangyao was just a small bookkeeper with limited income, and he had to take care of the silly and sweet Lan Da. He once helped Lan Da wash his clothes, because Lan Da couldn't wash it himself, and he didn't dare to hand it over to others, for fear of being discovered by others. Due to Lan Da's strength, he even crumpled his robe.
And the work of mending clothes naturally fell on Jin Guangyao's head. These shared experiences have strengthened the relationship between the two. In fact, in the original book, Lan Da's attitude towards Jin Guangyao is quite complicated, and Jin Guangyao is a typical straight man, he has his own wife, and he is affectionate to her. If it weren't for his wife's change, his marriage might have been a happy one.
Therefore, in the battle of Guanyin Temple, Lan Xichen was completely swayed by Jin Guangyao, although he admitted the bad things Jin Guangyao did, but he thought that Jin Guangyao also had his own troubles. After all, Lan Da couldn't let go of Jin Guangyao. In general, this difficult emotion for Jin Guangyao is ultimately because of Lan Xichen's existence. Although Jin Guangyao's crime is unforgivable, he has a deep affection for Lan Da, and it is no wonder that after his death, Lan Da fell into a long period of sadness.
This kind of mentality of loving the house and Wu makes Jin Guangyao's fate unreassuring. Jin Guangyao's story is like an intricate picture, full of thoughts on love, friendship and power. His fate may have come to an end, but the problems and emotions he left behind are deeply imprinted in people's hearts.
