Although Gao Qiu is not like this in real history, Gao Qiu in the novel is one of the worst treacherous court officials in the world. The stunt of playing football alone was appreciated by the emperor and became a senior official of Qiu.
Of course, Gao Qiu's greatest advantage is that he can kiss up. In real history, Gao Qiu died in Kaifeng when the nomads from the army went south. Maybe such a wicked person didn't get what he deserved, which really made us good people sigh.
Although Cai Jing's calligraphy is quite accomplished, Cai Jing's character is despised by people. In real history, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong demoted Cai Jing again and again, and died on the way. In particular, many ordinary people know that Cai Jing is the worst person. Don't say that you won't give him food, even if you have money, no one wants to buy it. So this finally starved to death on the road. It can really be said that the wicked get what they deserve, which makes many people applaud.
