Chapter 34: Assassination
The matter between Chang Yu and the Queen Mother cannot be exposed, and if he does not rebel, the King of Qin has no reason to kill him. Therefore, Ying Zheng let go of the monitoring of Chang Yu and let him prepare the crown ceremony in Yongcheng.
Lü Buwei didn't think so.
Chang Yu must be opposed, this is Lü Buwei's judgment. Therefore, it will inevitably implicate the matter of offering his wife back then, and Yingzheng will inevitably seize this matter to force himself to resign as prime minister. This is not in the interests of Lü Buwei!
Seeing that Great Qin was about to go east, and the time was ripe to unify the six countries, Lü Buwei was unwilling to withdraw from the stage!
Destroy the six kingdoms and dominate the world, only by accomplishing such feats can you be canonized in one fell swoop!
"Anyone who stands in the way of this goal should not live in the world!"
Lu Buwei suddenly raised his head and said categorically: "I can't let Chang Yu return to Yongcheng!" Can you plan to get rid of Chang Yu again? ”
A cadre of guests thought about it separately, and one said: "Right now, Chang Yu is trapped in Xianyang, and the king promises that he will meet Yongcheng to prepare a crown ceremony, and it must be an agreement between the two." Is it evil to kill him at this time? ”
The doorman's mind was clear. The Great Crown Ceremony was about to be held, and the doorman naturally didn't want to harm King Qin because of this trip. In the final analysis, the ultimate goal of the door is to use it for the country rather than for the country. But Lü Buwei has his own plans, there are other candidates to kill Chang Yu, but Chang Yu may not be unprepared, there is always a need for some people to contain Chang Yu's people, this matter is not clear, can be used, so he explained: "That Chang Yu and the Queen Mother have a son, can the king tolerate him?" Letting him prepare for the crown ceremony is to acquiesce to our attack on him, is it possible to ask the king to announce this matter? ”
The doorman nodded yes when he heard this, and he did not doubt him.
The announcement will inevitably involve the Queen Mother, and it will inevitably lead to damage to the reputation of the royal family, which is understandable! But Lü Buwei was halfway through his words, and he did not say that the time for King Qin to kill Chang Yu was not now. The doorman really didn't know what was going on, and felt that the opportunity to show his face in front of the king had come, and they all made suggestions.
"It's better to take him directly on the way back to Yongcheng to assassinate this wingman in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, when the dead man assassinates, he only needs to find a few scapegoats, could it be that Chang Yu can still crawl out of the coffin board to confront him?"
"Then what if the Queen Mother insists on revenge?"
"It doesn't matter, how can the prince's government be interfered with by a woman in the court?"
"None of this matters!" Lü Buwei interrupted the doorman to discuss: "The assassination needs to know Chang Yu's itinerary, and the warriors need to obey orders, I want news instead of these!" So where is Chang Yu now, do you know? ”
"It's easy to hear! I often walk around the city and make friends with the rangers, and I have ordered people to keep an eye on them, for fear that they will slip away quietly! ”
Another person spoke out, and everyone looked at it with contempt.
The name of the speaker is Crane, and he is a thief of chickens and dogs. It is rumored that King Qi sent Meng Weijun to Qin in the twenty-fifth year, and King Qin Zhao immediately made Meng Weijun the prime minister of Qin. Some of the ministers persuaded the King of Qin: "Although Meng Weijun is virtuous, he is the same sect of the King of Qi, and now he is the prime minister of the Qin State who must plan things for the Qi State first, and then consider the Qin State, so the Qin State will be in danger."
So King Qin Zhao dismissed Meng Weijun from his position as prime minister. He imprisoned Meng Shanjun and attempted to murder him. Meng Weijun knew that the situation was critical, so he sent someone to take the liberty of meeting King Zhao's favorite concubine and asking for rescue. The favorite concubine put forward the condition and said: "I heard that Meng Weijun has a thousand armpit fur, which is made of leather under the armpit of a white fox, and its value is immeasurable.
Meng Weijun did have a white fox fur fur, there was no second one in the world, and after arriving in the Qin Kingdom, he dedicated it to King Zhao, and there was no other fur fur. Meng Weijun was worried about this matter when he heard the conditions, and asked all the guests, but no one could think of a way. There was a man who was not very good but could steal things in dog skin, and said, "I can get that white fox fur." So that night, he disguised himself as a dog, went into the warehouse in the Qin Palace, took out the fox white fur dedicated to King Zhao, and took it back to give it to King Zhao's favorite concubine. After the favored concubine got it, he interceded with King Zhao on behalf of Meng Weijun, and King Zhao released Meng Yanjun.
After Meng Weijun was released, he immediately fled by express train, changed his exit documents, changed his name and escaped from the city. In the middle of the night, we arrived at Hangu Pass. At this time, King Qin Zhao regretted releasing Meng Weijun, and immediately sent someone to drive a car and rush to chase him.
Meng Yanjun and his entourage arrived at Hangu Pass, according to the provisions of the customs law when the chicken crows before the guests can be released out of the customs, Meng Yanjun is afraid that the pursuers will arrive in a hurry, one of the guests will learn to crow chickens, he learned to crow chickens, the chickens nearby crowed together, and immediately showed their documents to escape from Hangu Pass. After leaving the customs, after touching a meal, the Qin pursuers really arrived at Hangu Pass, but they had fallen behind Meng Weijun.
This story has been heard by Lu Buwei's doormen, and they all call the thief a rooster and a dog thief, and the crane began to be teased by a group of doormen and called him a rooster, and he was distressed, so he changed his name to Heqiao. It sounds a lot more majestic, but it inevitably has the meaning of covering up and stealing the bell, so all the guests laughed secretly!
Seeing the disdain in everyone's eyes, he secretly hated, and said loudly: "In the past, Meng Weijun was able to get out with the strength of my generation, why are you like this? ”
This thing really needs such people to be competent, if others are watching, it will inevitably be seen that someone has a ghost, and once the assassination is exposed, it may be difficult to achieve. They all stopped smiling and responded a few times.
There is no shortage of warrior games among the doormen, and Lü Buwei immediately finalized the candidates and arranged the assassination.
However, in order to succeed, it takes an extremely strong person to complete the final blow. The assassinations of the others are just a diversion for the final blow!
This person Lu Buwei has already been selected.
This person is Jing Ke.
Jing Ke was a Wei man and moved to Wei in his early years. Later, Qin attacked Wei and set up Dong County in Henan, and Jing Ke became Qin Min. He was famous for his good swords, and he traveled around six countries in his early years and saw extraordinary.
What Jing Ke practiced was the Netherworld Gong of the Qi Kingdom, and his body was known for his elegantness. With the power of the body, although the sword is fast, it is silent. Rui is silent, but there is a ruthless truth. The world doesn't know the wonder, thinking that Qi people are good at the art of gods and ghosts.
Lü Buwei was fortunate enough to have seen Jing Ke's swordsmanship, and thought that few people in the world could do it in terms of assassination, so he naturally became the best candidate to assassinate Chang Yu.
When Lü Buwei's men found Jing Ke, Jing Ke was drinking with Su Ying.
After a few days, Jing Ke was already familiar with Quan Ying. Someone invited Jing Ke Zi'an to be unceremoniously, already drunk and half-drunk in the hall and talking!
"The man I admire the most is Ganie!
Back then, I was arguing with Gai Nie in the Wei Kingdom. Gaigne was dismissive of me, thinking that I was just a brave man, and that I was not worth it! ”
Su Ying took a sip of wine, and when she heard this, she put down the wine glass and said, "Alas, it's not right! If he is so disdainful of you, why do you respect him so much? ”
Jing Kehao said angrily: "As you said, I was not convinced at the time, so I invited Gai Nie to fight the sword. And I'm still making a fuss about it, and I can't avoid it even if I want to!
When the time came, I waited for him at the appointed place. Unexpectedly, he had already arrived. I finished my salute and was about to start the sword game. I didn't expect Gai Nie to turn around and leave.
How can I let him do it! He was ready to draw his sword and give him a blow!
Who would have thought that he was about to draw his sword, but he suddenly turned his head and glared at me.
That glance made me remember deeply, and the posture was like a tiger about to prey, about to leap up, until my hair stood on end! I pressed the hilt of my sword and asked him why he didn't dare to fight!
He didn't answer me, and turned away. ”
Su Ying took in a glass of wine and said, "So you're going to admit defeat?" ”
Jing Ke took a sip of wine and said: "I think I'm also famous, how can I admit defeat so easily." When he turned around, he also used the tiger pounce style, wanting to tell him that I would also go down the mountain with the tiger!
Just as I was about to unleash my sword, he turned around again and waited for me! ”
Speaking of this, Xuan Ying said thoughtfully: "The first time you took out your sword and was glared back by him, the second time it was like this... The first time may be a coincidence, but the second time is definitely not a coincidence! ”
"Not really!"
Jing Ke patted his thigh and said, "You don't know, the place where his gaze falls is the direction that I am about to stab out with my sword!" This time I finally came to my senses. ”
Su Ying himself is also a brave man, pondering the scene at that time and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not over yet, right?" ”
Jing Ke said: "It's really not over. At this point, I had lost hope of beating him. Just wondering how good he really is! So when he turned around and walked away, he stabbed my pinnacle sword at the time!
My sword was already silent, and in order to avoid his eyes and ears and even control the force under his feet, it can be said that there was no movement at all. But just like that, when my sword stabbed him in the back, he turned sharply again.
This time, he still didn't draw his sword. Just pull out half of the building. But it was half of this that the blade appeared in front of my neck. I didn't dare to move at all.
It is conceivable that if I continued to move forward, even if I took another half step forward, I would have died on the spot, and I would have sent my neck to the edge of his sword.
At that moment, he stared at me quietly!
And I know I'm a failure! ”
"Bang Bang Bang..."
Jing Ke was quietly in the demeanor of the sword, but someone was clapping beside him.
Jing Ke looked back, but saw the man throw out a bag.
Jing Ke immediately knew that it was ten thousand gold inside. Turning his head, he said, "I'm afraid this money is not easy to take!" ”
The man said: "This will not be known until we have talked about it!" ”
The two discussed for a long time, and Jing Ke agreed to assassinate him. Everything is ready, just wait for Chang Yu to leave the city.
Chang Yu is indeed preparing to meet Zhao Ji in Yongcheng, and is struggling to persuade Zhao Ji.
"The king seems to have agreed to the conditions, but he doesn't know what he thinks in his heart. In my opinion, this trip must be dangerous, and there will be assassins ambushed on the road, so I can't return to Yongcheng alive! So you're determined to come with me! ”
"No, no, no!"
Zhao Ji shook her head vigorously, her face full of disagreement.
"You gave me all the guards, what are you going to do? Still listen to me and go with me. With guards on my side, how many Assassins can withstand me? Do they dare to assassinate the queen mother of my country? ”
Chang Yu straightened Zhao Ji's face with both hands, stared at her affectionately and said, "The knife and gun have no eyes, who can say that there is no accident?" Their target is me, and as long as I'm not there, even if they assassinate me, they will inevitably retreat when they find out I'm not there. If I am with you, and you insist on protecting me, what will happen if someone takes risks? And you have to take the child with you to drink the city defense and bring him back to Yongcheng! ”
"I won't let you risk that!"
"I want you to return to Yongcheng well, as long as you are good, I will be good!"
"I'm alone, and they won't expect it. I will definitely meet you in Yongcheng! Promise me, okay? ”
Zhao Ji stared for a moment, but after all, she couldn't help but soften down.
Chang Yu arranged a trip to confuse everyone's eyes. When he left the house, he was in the same car with Zhao Ji.
Lu Buwei didn't know, Chang Yu had already had this concern in his heart.
