Chinese idioms, condense the essence of history, winding paths, meet a different "China".
As mentioned last time, when Prince Yan invited Jing Ke to a banquet one day, he specially arranged for his favorite concubine to toast Jing Ke and play the piano to cheer up. Jing Ke saw that the beauty's hands were as white as jade, and exclaimed: "What a beautiful pair of hands." ”
As soon as the banquet was dispersed, Prince Dan ordered the chamberlain to send a jade plate to Jing Ke, and when he opened it, it was the slender jade hand of the beauty.
Doomsday carnival, let's say Jing Ke.
Every time I read this, I can't help but feel disgusted. If this is a historical fact, Jing Ke is too inferior. Just imagine, how different is a person who regards other people's lives as grass and mustard and Qin of tigers and wolves?
For example, Li Kui was in the Jiangzhou Law Field, in order to save his brothers, he even "killed corpses all over the field and blood flowed into canals" regardless of officers and soldiers, how cruel and bloodthirsty he was. Fortunately they did not succeed, otherwise they would have been hell on earth.
Otherwise, evil will be like weeds in the plains, "wildfires cannot be burned, and spring breezes blow and regenerate."
Assassin Qin failed and died unexpectedlyTime flies, and a few years have passed in the blink of an eye. What made the prince anxious was that although he was serving Jing Ke with good food and drink day and night, Jing Ke did not move for a long time. At the same time, the Qin people did not stop, and after the destruction of the Zhao State, the army drove straight into the southern border of the Yan State.
On this day, the crown prince Dan couldn't sit still and asked Jing Ke to act immediately, Jing Ke said that in order to get close to the king of Qin, there must be two valuable gifts, one is the head of the rebel general Fan Yuzhi who was heavily rewarded by the king of Qin, and the other is the map of the governor of Yan (located in present-day Zhuozhou, Hebei, the land of ointment).
The crown prince couldn't bear to hurt Fan Yuzhi, so Jing Ke met with Fan Yuzhi in private, hoping to borrow his head to approach the King of Qin to avenge him, and Fan Yuzhi committed suicide in tears. From this point of view, Jing Ke had already planned to meet Fan Yu when he first proposed to meet him.
The map was ready-made, and there was nothing to embarrass about, so Jing Ke made a third preparation, bought the famous Madame Xu dagger from Zhao Guozhong, quenched poison on the tip of the knife, and used people for experiments, as long as he saw a trace of blood, the wounded were killed immediately (again disregarded human life).
Everything is ready, all you need to do is to go. But Jing Ke still didn't move, because he still had to wait for someone, and this person was said to be far away and wouldn't be able to come for a while. Prince Dan couldn't wait, and even began to suspect that Jing Ke would regret it. Jing Ke was very angry and said: "I went to the country of tigers and wolves with a small dagger, and the reason why I haven't left yet, is that I am waiting for someone." ”
Seeing that Prince Dan was in a hurry, Jing Ke decided to leave immediately, and the accompanying assistant was Qin Wuyang, who killed people at the age of thirteen. On the day of departure, the prince and the guests who knew about the plan to assassinate Qin were all wearing white clothes and white hats, and set up a banquet by the Yishui River to see Jing Ke off, because everyone knew that no matter whether the assassination of Qin was successful or not, Jing Ke would definitely die.
Friend Gao gradually left and came, tearfully building, Jing Ke generously sang: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone." ”
After a song, Jing Ke stepped on the carriage and left, never looking back.
After coming to the Qin State, Jing Ke was received by Yingzheng by bribing the concubine, a favorite minister of the King of Qin.
Hearing that Yan Guo was going to offer the land of the governor, Ying Zheng was very happy, however, just as Ying Zheng was browsing the map with great interest under the guidance of Jing Ke, "see you with the dagger", saying that it was too late and that it was fast, Jing Ke grabbed Ying Zheng's sleeve with his left hand, and picked up the dagger with his right hand and stabbed it. Ying Zheng was shocked, pulled out and jumped up, and his sleeves broke in response. Ying Zheng immediately drew his sword to defend himself, but because the sword was too long, the scabbard was tight, and he was panicked, it was difficult to pull it out for a while, so he had to run around the pillar, Jing Ke held a dagger and chased around the pillar.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, and the fact that officials of the Qin court were not allowed to wear weapons to the court according to the regulations, the guards were not allowed to enter the palace without an order, so Yingzheng was isolated for a while.
And it was only at this time that we knew why Jing Ke had to wait for that helper, because he might have already seen that Qin Wuyang would drop the chain at a critical moment. Imagine, if Qin Wuyang can make a brave move like Jing Ke at this time, Yingzheng's fate may be rewritten from now on. And the reality is that Qin Wuyang, who dared to kill people at the age of 13, panicked as soon as he entered the palace of Qin, but fortunately, Jing Ke covered up the past with the fact that he had not seen the world.
After a brief period of panic, the ministers of the court began to besiege Jing Ke, during which Ying Zheng's "health doctor" Xia Wuhe attacked Jing Ke with a medicine box, giving Ying Zheng time to breathe. The guards then advised Ying Zheng to pull out the sword behind his back and cut off Jing Ke's left leg.
After failing to assassinate Qin, he was stabbed, Jing Ke fell to the ground and was slashed to death by the guards. What about that Yan Kingdom warrior Qin Wuyang? The history books didn't say anything about it at all, because he was no longer worth mentioning.
Appreciation of Chinese classics:The prince and the guests who knew about it were all dressed in white and gave them away. Above the easy water, both ancestors, take the road, high gradually leave the building, Jing Ke and sing, for the sound of change, the soldiers are weeping. He also came forward to sing and said: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!" So Jing Ke drove away, and finally ignored it.
