Chapter 75
Jing Ke froze in place, staring blankly at Qin Wangzheng.
Qingke?
How many years has he not heard this name from others.
He is the descendant of Qing Feng, the great father of the Qi State. Since the Qing family was exterminated, he has often traveled around the world under a false name, and only a few people are left who know his real name.
He looked at Qin Wangzheng in front of him: "Qin Wangzheng, Zheng, are you that kid from back then?
" It’s back to your hands again. It seems that my defeat today is God’s will.”
Seeing that the king and this assassin seemed to be old acquaintances, the imperial guards who captured Jing Ke didn’t know whether to suppress him or not.
Ah Zheng is no longer the weak and helpless child he was back then, so naturally he will not be immersed in this memory. He ordered the imperial guards who were arrested: "Procrastinate and interrogate severely. When you can't ask anything, leave him a question." The whole body."
Jing Ke was caught with both hands, and laughed at Ah Zheng: "Then I thank the king." The
two assassins were dragged down, and the hall was in chaos. Ah Zheng passed by Xia Wuqi Diagnosis and treatment, no trauma, just a little frightened. The courtiers in the palace stood still, silently waiting for the king's wrath.
Yan Guo dared to send envoys to assassinate King Qin, it was simply impatient to live. Although the king seemed to know the assassin, it didn't mean anything. King Qin's anger was on the verge of anger.
Ah Zheng sat back on the throne and looked at the ministers and ministers in the court. When he was being chased by Qing Ke just now in embarrassment, none of the people in front of him dared to stop him.
He snorted, and the ministers in the hall trembled collectively, apparently thinking of what happened just now. Azheng said: "Where is Meng Jia, the concubine?"
Meng Jia walked out tremblingly, and knelt down in front of Azheng: "Your Majesty, I really don't know that the two envoys of the Yan Kingdom dared to assassinate you because of their intentions to dissect you." Your Majesty, I don't know anything about the assassination, please forgive me."
Meng Jia, like Meng Tian and Meng Yi, are both descendants of the Meng family. Because of the relationship between three generations of Meng Ao's grandparents, Ah Zheng always had a lot of trust in the Meng family's children, so Meng Jia said that Yan Guo came to seek refuge, and he believed it. Although he didn't know people clearly, Meng Jia's actions were really abominable. He ordered Ting Wei: "Find out the relationship between Meng Jia and the two assassins, and deal with it according to the laws of Qin.
" Yes, Your Majesty."
Ah Zheng looked at the group of ministers in front of him who had seen him humiliated just now, but it was difficult to deal with them all, so he said: "The Qin State has suffered such a shame and humiliation today, and I will surely destroy the Yan State. Wan——"
"The minister is here."
"As soon as possible, prepare troops, horses, food and grass, and send an order to Wang Jian. If he can't take Yandu, he will not come back." "
Yes."
"Retire—" Ah Zheng left angrily.
All the ministers were left in the palace, and Wang Wan came out and said, "Okay, dear friends, come to my house to discuss the matter of destroying Yan." Such a shameful thing happened to the king, these days it is better not to run in front of the king It's an eyesore. Speaking of which, General Wang Jian has really worked hard. I heard that he is preparing to attack Wei State after defeating Zhao State, and now he will be sent to the colder Yan State.
As soon as Ah Zheng returned to the back hall where he lived, he saw the civet cat obediently sleeping on his desk, the sunlight slipped in from the window and shone on it, everything looked serene and peaceful.
Ah Zheng couldn't help but stepped forward, buried his face in his fluffy belly and took a deep breath, finally dispelling some of the depression in his heart.
Lin Ju was disturbed in her dream, flicked her tail, opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Zai Zai who was addicted to sucking cats, feeling a little helpless. Cub, I know I suck, but don't disturb my sleep.
Ah Zheng grabbed the civet cat's dangling tail, and couldn't help but confide to it: "Today, someone wants to kill me."
Lin Ju was startled by Zai Zai's shocking words, and meowed twice, Zai Zai Baby, are you all right?
Azheng squeezed the little civet cat's cat mat, looking a little lonely, "He is my friend when I was young. He wanted to kill me, but the imperial army caught him, and I ordered someone to leave his whole body." "Meow~
"
"I am the King of Qin. I can't let go of someone who intends to assassinate the King of Qin. If I'm just an ordinary person..." Ah Zheng hesitated. If he was just an ordinary person, would he choose to let Qingke go?
he does not know.
He took out the dagger given to Qing Ke many years ago and sighed.
·
One month later, the news of Qin Wangzheng's assassination spread all over the world, shocking the whole world.
The monarchs of various countries not only lamented the boldness and recklessness of King Yan in ordering someone to assassinate King Qin, but also regretted that King Qin did not die. This king of Yan has the courage to find an assassin to assassinate the king of Qin, why doesn't he find someone with better swordsmanship. Even if he couldn't hit King Qin's chest, it would be fine to chop off his arms and legs and injure him seriously. As it is now, Qin Wangzheng is not only unscathed, but also will strengthen the defense of Qin Palace. In the future, even if other vassal states want to send people to assassinate Qin Wangzheng, the difficulty will increase greatly. This country of Yan is really harming others and harming oneself.
Other monarchs were still in the mood to ridicule the king of Yan for harming others and benefiting himself, but the king of Yan who was far away in the capital of Yan was shocked when he heard the news of King Qin's assassination. The king of the country gave gifts to ask for peace, and his incompetent son could make such a big incident.
"Come here, tell that rebellious son of the widow to get out of the palace."
King Yan hurriedly sent people to invite Yan Dan into the palace.
Just as Yan Dan stepped into the hall, and was about to salute the prince, a roll of bamboo slammed his head and face at him. Yan Dan couldn't dodge in time, and was hit in the eye just in time.
Enduring the blurring of his left eye, Yan Dan bowed to King Yan, and asked respectfully, "I don't know what's the matter with your father summoning his sons and ministers here today?
" He stepped forward and kicked Yan Dan in the chest: "How dare you ask me something? Thinking about the good deeds you have done, how dare you send someone to assassinate King Qin?" Yan Dan
knelt Lying on the ground, he still respectfully replied: "Father, South Korea and Zhao are already destroyed. The Qin Army is already attacking the Wei State, and the Yan State is in danger. If you send people to cede land and offer the city to the Qin State, it will only encourage the Qin Army to attack the Qin State." Ambition. Father Wang, only with the death of Qin Wangzheng can the country of Yan survive."
King Yan kicked Yan Dan's feet again, his fat body was trembling and panting heavily, and said sharply: "Then I ask Are you, Qin Jun dead?"
"That damned Qin Zheng of Qin is dead!"
"No—"
"He is alive and well, unscathed——"
"The trash you sent not only didn't hurt A single hair of Qin Zheng has aroused the anger of Qin State towards Yan State!" "
Now, Qin State has even more excuses to attack Yan State!"
Yan Dan's hands trembling, his face was full of shock: "How is this possible, Jing Ke, Jing Ke actually failed, no, no, how could it be like this..."
Seeing this, the King of Yan kicked this useless son to the ground: "The widow shouldn't have let you be the prince in the first place. If the Qin army attacks the country of Yan, you will be a sinner of the country of Yan—”
Before the King of Yan finished speaking, a man ran in with a face full of horror and knelt down on the ground: “Your Majesty, the frontier is urgently reported that the Qin army has invaded the country of Yan. Twelve cities have been taken!"
Hearing this news, King Yan finally couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed on the ground.
"Your Majesty—"
"Father—"
On the other side, by the Yishui River, the Qin army was camping, burying fires and cooking.
Inside the coach's tent, Wang Jian was worried.
Seeing his expression, Li Xin couldn't help asking, "General, are you worried about tomorrow's battle?"
Wang Jian shook his head and said with a smile, "Yan's army is weak, so I'm not worried about the battle to attack Yan. It's just that the king hastily ordered We are waiting to attack Yan State, and Wei State is only worried about the lack of troops and the delay of the battle."
Li Xin comforted: "Why should you worry about this, General. Wei State has already conquered more than half of it, and there are two generals, Meng Tian and Meng Wu, there. I heard that because of the lack of troops, the king specially dispatched an extra batch of gunpowder there, thinking that General Meng and others will be able to take Wei Guo smoothly." When mentioning gunpowder,
Wang Jian felt a little more relaxed. Power, as long as it is used properly, it will surely defeat the enemy.
"Order people to cheer up and prepare for tomorrow's battle."
"Yes."
The
grain and grass in Qin Guoguo were continuously transported to the front lines of the two countries. When it was about to be stretched, Qiu received it and Qiu Liang could harvest it.
Zhi Su Nei Shi came to Ah Zheng with a look of surprise: "Your Majesty, this is really a divine seed! The harvest of one mu of land is as much as fifty stones!" The original variety of
grains, one mu If the land can harvest five stones, it can be said that the weather is good, and God will enjoy the food. Unexpectedly, the king ordered people to secretly plant rice grains in Guanzhong and Shuzhong, and one mu of land could harvest fifty stones, which is a tenfold increase in harvest. Coupled with the fact that rice is more resistant to hunger than other grains, it can be described as a god seed. It's a pity that the God Seed still needs water, and it can't be planted all over the country, which can be regarded as a fly in the ointment.
Ah Zheng was also overjoyed. He did not expect that the final yield per mu of the seeds that Ah Ju gave him was twice what he calculated at the beginning.
He gave a strict order to Zhisu Neishi: "Organize the farmers to harvest in time, remember that the matter of the God Seed must not be spread, and all those who come into contact with the God Seed are strictly kept secret."
Zhi Su Nei Shi hurriedly said: "I understand, please rest assured."
Ah Zheng reminded him: "Pay attention to your subordinate Chang Wen Jun Xiong Fa, and don't let him know about the God Seed."
Zhi Su Nei Shi thought in his heart Doubtful, Chang Wenjun is the clan of the Qin State, and has always acted decently. Did he do something that harmed the Qin State, so that the king specifically mentioned him? But Zhi Su Nei Shi didn't ask too much, just said: "I understand."
The Qin army has sufficient supplies of food and grass, excellent weapons and medicines, and the road to promotion that can be promoted by killing the enemy. And the soldiers of Wei and Yan couldn't eat enough, couldn't wear warm clothes, and they still had their rations deducted by those noble officials. How could such soldiers beat Qin's tiger and wolf army?
Half a year later, Meng's father and son flooded Daliang City, captured King Wei, and the Kingdom of Wei was destroyed.
On the side of Yan State, the Qin army led by Wang Jian and Li Xin has surrounded Jicheng, the capital of Yan State.
Inside Yandu, the King of Yan dragged his tired body and looked at the court ministers: "Now that the Qin army is approaching the city, what ideas might you come up with?"
A Yan clan said: "Your Majesty, the city of Yandu will be destroyed soon. Let's move the capital."
Yan Dan went out and scolded: "Move the capital? Eighty-nine out of ten of the land of Yan Kingdom has fallen into the hands of the Qin army, so where can we move it to?" "
Naturally Liaodong.
" Bloodline, how can you join forces with the barbarians!"
The clan ignored Yan Dan, and only said to the King of Yan: "Your Majesty, move the capital to Liaodong County, Yan Kingdom still has a breath of strength, hide its strength and bide its time, and it is not yet known when it will come back and defeat the Qin army. Ah."
King Yan nodded, "That makes sense."
Yan Dan stepped forward to dissuade him, "Father, you can't move the capital!"
King Yan looked at Yan Dan, and said with hatred, "Hmph, since the crown prince doesn't want to move the capital , then you stay here."
Three days later, a large number of Yan Kingdom's upper echelons fled.
At the same time, outside the city of Jidu, in the tent of the Qin army, Wang Jian received a large amount of gold and silver treasures from King Yan's order, and at the same time gave him a special gift.
——The head of Crown Prince Dan of Yan Kingdom.
The author has something to say:
Regarding Yan Dan's death, there are two versions in the historical records.
1. According to "The Benji of Qin Shihuang", it was Wang Jian who attacked the capital of Yan State and captured the head of Prince Dan.
2. "The Family of Yan" records that King Yan fled to Liaodong, beheaded the head of his son Prince Dan and dedicated it to the State of Qin.
I feel that Tai Shigong also doesn't know what kind of death method Yandan is, what do you think?
Historically, Wang Jian attacked the State of Yan, and his son Wang Ben attacked the State of Wei. Because the timeline of this article is about ten years earlier, Wang Ben is still a kid now, so I can only work hard for classmate Wang Jian.
