Chapter 35: Die Generously

"Protect the King! Protect the King! ......"Three or five Langguan soldiers actually took the opportunity to rush to the side of King Yingzheng of Qin.

"Oops, stop them! No one is allowed to approach the king at will! Those who violate the order will be killed! "Meng Yi has been following King Qin all along, and when he saw this, he didn't understand that there were assassins among the Langguan soldiers!

"Don't panic, stand still! Don't shout, no one is allowed to give random orders except for this general! Meng Yi shouted as he drew his bronze sword and forced several assassins who tried to assassinate King Yingzheng of Qin to retreat.

"Kill, they're all dead anyway, it's a big deal!" The assassins glanced at each other, pulled out their bamboo tubes, fired poisonous needles, and rushed forward.

"Ding, ding......" Meng Yi had already put this hand down, trying to shrink his body into the shield.

When the Assassins revealed their whereabouts, they were naturally targeted by numerous crossbow arrows. Before they could get forward, they were shot as hedgehogs! Along with the eunuchs and palace maids who caused chaos, they were all cut off. Among them, there are indispensable people who have suffered from the disaster of pond fish, and Meng Yi is helpless.

When Meng Yi saw that these assassins were ambushed, he was not sure whether the enemy had a follower, and immediately asked King Yingzheng of Qin to return to the king's tent.

King Yingzheng of Qin had already turned pale with fright, and returned to the king's tent in a gloomy manner.

By the Weishui River, the king of Qin's tent.

"Plan well, every step of the way!" "First of all, a group of black-clothed dead soldiers emerged from the bottom of the Wei River, and then there were also a group of killers lurking among the palace maids and eunuchs, and the most unbelievable thing was that assassins were actually mixed in among the Lang official soldiers." Qin Xiang Lu Buwei's face was very ugly, and it was obvious that the other party was also planning to kill him, Qin Xiang.

"Now the evidence is conclusive, Ji Guang, the son of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, is really bold!" King Yingzheng of Qin has been assassinated repeatedly, and he is naturally angry, and the clay man still has three points of anger, not to mention the king of a country!

"Great King, you must make an example of a hundred, otherwise everyone will treat me as if I was nothing in the future." The old general Meng Fu was also very angry and insisted on severely punishing the bereaved families of the Zhou people.

"How many people are still in the remnants of the Zhou people?" King Yingzheng of Qin showed a fierce light, like a fierce beast that chose people to devour.

When Meng Yi saw this situation, he couldn't help but think of the incident when Qin Guo killed 400,000 soldiers of Zhao State.

"Great King, there are about 100,000 remnants of the Zhou people, most of whom are distributed in Yangrenju, Liang County." Qin Xiang Lu Buwei naturally knew very much about the perishing Zhou people, after all, he personally ended the Zhou people's national ancestry.

"Okay, let Langguan General Yingliang and Weiwei General Yingjie make meritorious contributions, and immediately send troops to strangle all the remnants of the Zhou people!" King Yingzheng of Qin was furious, it was really "100,000 corpses and 100 miles of blood"!

"Great King, by all means, since ancient times, there have been countless people who have destroyed the country, but there has never been a precedent for exterminating the race!" Cai Ze, Wang Xuan, Feng Quji's brothers and other Wenchen immediately spoke out against it, and chattered endlessly about the aftermath of the extermination!

"Great King, just hunt down Ji Guang, the prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, presumably no one dares to take in the assassin who assassinated my king!" Although the old general Meng Fu killed people on the battlefield, he naturally refused to ask him to slaughter a large number of civilians.

"The king, the old minister thinks that slaughtering the Zhou people is beneficial to Shuwei, so it's better to give it a try for the time being!" Qin Prime Minister LΓΌ Buwei instead opposed the ministers, blindly advocating tooth for tooth and blood for blood!

"King, have you forgotten the lesson of Wu Anjun Baiqi?" For the lives of 100,000 civilians, Meng Yi gritted his teeth and threw a bombshell.

King Yingzheng of Qin was stunned for a moment, and pondered: Wu Anjun killed 400,000 soldiers in vain, although he made great contributions to the Qin State, but in the end he was spurned by the people of the world and left a stench for 10,000 years, and he was immediately retributed. The ancients were still in awe of ghosts and gods, and they were all in the rotation of heaven and retribution!

"Great King, in fact, as long as the word comes out: if Ji Guang, the prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, does not surrender, the remnants of the Zhou people will inevitably suffer the punishment of extermination. In this way, Ji Guang, the son of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, will definitely surrender, and he can also warn the world! Meng Yi continued to suggest.

"If Ji Guang, the son of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, is greedy for life and afraid of death, and does not turn himself in, what can he do?" Qin Xiang Lu Buwei was born as a businessman and was accustomed to exchanging interests, so he naturally didn't believe that anyone was willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for the life of the whole clan regardless of his own life! But there are some people in the world who are not afraid of death, especially if they sacrifice themselves for the sake of righteousness, and they have no hesitation!

"The king, the minister dares to guarantee with his life, Ji Guang, the prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, will definitely surrender!" Seeing this, Meng Yi was afraid that King Yingzheng of Qin would change his mind, and he couldn't care about the gains and losses in a hurry, so he immediately guaranteed.

"Okay, let's try it first. Three days only! King Yingzheng of Qin sighed slightly, and decided the matter a little helplessly.

The Xia Dynasty passed on the country for more than 400 years, the Shang Dynasty for more than 500 years, and the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years. Source of the Zhou Dynasty: King Wu of Zhou, the first war, 800 years, the longest. The Great Zhou Dynasty in history, which began in the 11th century BC and ended in the 3rd century BC, lasted for more than 800 years, spanned eight centuries, and lasted for 30 generations and 37 kings. The ritual music culture created by the Great Zhou Dynasty is the cornerstone of the 3,000-year-old culture of the Chinese nation, and its influence is far-reaching.

Why did the Zhou Dynasty live so long?

First, the Western Zhou Dynasty adopted a feudal system and a patriarchal system. Because of the patriarchal feudal system, the national territory was linked by the feudal system, and the vassal states had a complex set of obligations-power relations with Zhou Tianzi. Because of the division of the various princes, the princes contained each other and fought hostile battles, which consumed their own national strength. As long as one prince did not oppress the rest of the princes, the Zhou Dynasty, which was at the center of power, was stable on Mount Tai and was not threatened. Moreover, there was an economic link between Zhou Tianzi and the vassal states, the Jingtian system, which was conducive to the consolidation of royal power.

Second, the timely establishment of a political and military presence in the eastern region by the Duke of Zhou laid the foundation for the future relocation of the capital. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, in order to prevent the recalcitrant people in the east from rebelling, the Duke of Zhou built Luoyi, which is also known as Chengzhou. The construction of Cheng Zhou provided a buffer for the Zhou Dynasty, and in the future, the dog Rong broke through Haojing, and the Zhou royal family was able to move eastward to Luoyi to continue the national ancestry.

Third, the Zhou metric system of ceremonial music is an important reason for the longevity of the Zhou Dynasty. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou lost the old system of Xia Shang and formulated a complete set of etiquette and music systems of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which must be observed by everyone from the Son of Heaven to the Shuren. The ritual system was the cultural foundation of the Zhou dynasty's rule, and a cultural consensus was formed at the level above the common people, which was undoubtedly conducive to strengthening the entire nation's recognition of the legitimacy of the Zhou dynasty's rule.

In general, it was because of the situation of mutual containment of the princes under the feudal system and the sense of identity with the Zhou Dynasty under the system of etiquette and music, that is, the so-called cultural control, that the Zhou Dynasty existed for 800 years.

Xianyang City is full of notices: within three days, Ji Guang, the prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, must go to the West Gate to surrender, otherwise he will definitely slaughter the Zhou people!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the last day of the three-day period.

The sun was setting on this matter, and the afterglow shone on Meng Yi for a while. Meng Yi was hot-headed at the time, and made a guarantee, but he didn't expect that he would fall into such a dangerous situation.

"Ji Guang, don't let Lao Tzu look down on you! If you don't come, Lao Tzu will be buried with him, and the lives of 100,000 Zhou people will not be saved! Meng Yi touched his neck, feeling a slight chill.

Historically, Meng Yi lived well until after Qin II ascended the throne, could it be that because of the arrival of himself and the Dragon Slayer King, history really changed?

"Damn, this pit daddy's mouth is really underpumped!" Meng Yi couldn't help but feel depressed.

"Second Young Master, drink more water." The girl Dong Rou was wearing the common maid clothes of this era, but she looked slim, but Meng Yi was in the mood to appreciate it at the moment.

"Let it go, the young master is not thirsty!" Meng Yi was in no mood to drink water to quench his thirst, but walked around the west gate irritably.

"Second Young Master, you're lying! My lips are chapped and bleeding, can I not be thirsty? The girl smiled and quipped.

"Huh? Hey, it's almost burning eyebrows, what kind of water are you drinking? "Although Meng Yi is angry, he can't beat a woman, so he stared at a few blind Meng family disciples, and his eyes showed a fierce light!

The nearby soldiers and the children of the Meng family did not dare to say anything, for fear that Meng Yi would get angry and beat people.

There are also a lot of ordinary people gathered nearby, bustling.

God was afraid that it would not be lively enough, so a few literati and scholars actually appeared, gathered outside the west gate to set up a banquet. It seems that they are also a group of guys who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

"King Wu of Zhou, the beginning of the war, eight hundred years, the longest." A mournful voice came, and an ox cart slowly approached.

"He is leaving, and he is a seedling. The line is vigorous, and the center is shaky. Those who know me say that I am worried; Those who do not know me say what I want. Who is this?

He is separated, and he is the spike of grass. The line is vigorous, and the center is drunk. Those who know me say that I am worried; Those who do not know me say what I want. Who is this?

He is separated, and he is real. The line is vigorous, and the center is like choking. Those who know me say that I am worried; Those who do not know me say what I want. Who is this? ”

"King Wu of Zhou, the beginning of the war, eight hundred years, the longest. The Great Zhou Dynasty expanded its territory for thousands of miles, sealed the country for 200, and now it has fallen into a situation of being forced by others. Ji Guang, the prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, looked up to the sky and shouted, "Heavens, you are so unfair! ”

"Childe Jiguang, you're finally here. I'm afraid you'll back down! After Meng Yi confirmed that the person who came was Ji Guang, the son of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he shouted with joy.

"Haha...... How could Ben Gongzi not come? Isn't it just a death, how cost-effective it is to exchange my life for 100,000 Zhou people's lives! After Ji Guang, the prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, finished speaking, he raised his head and poured a jar of fragrant wine into his throat.

"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, I covet it. I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. Leisurely, tossing and turning. Jagged wattles, picked left and right. My Fair Lady, Friends of the Piano. Jagged wattle, left and right. My Fair Lady, bells and drums. Ji Guang, the son of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, enjoyed the wine and sang the poetry of the Zhou people.

The soldiers of the Qin army at the West Gate waited impatiently, as if they had stepped forward to capture Ji Guang, the prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

"It's okay, let him drink enough and sing enough! It's just a send-off banquet! Meng Yi waved his hand and stopped Qin Bingdao.
