Chapter 140: Old Friends (Seeking Fulfillment)
Chapter 140: Old Friends (Seeking Completeness)
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no doubt that the countries that could rank among the Seven Heroes were all powerful countries in the world.
But Yan Guo seems to have been in a somewhat awkward position.
Even in the history textbooks of later generations, Yan Guo has always been the existence of 'rubbing heat', in the earliest days, rubbing the popularity of Qi Huangong, and being beaten by Shan Rong to ask for help from Qi Huangong, so he got the allusion of the old horse's knowledge.
then rubbed the popularity of Su Qin, the originator of Infernal Affairs, leaving the most ups and downs of the plot in history.
Later, because of Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin, he rubbed a wave of popularity in the Qin Kingdom, and because of Taishi Gong's heavy pen on "The Legend of the Assassins", he rubbed a wave of ranger popularity, leaving behind the famous sentence of "The land of Yan Zhao has been a generous and tragic man since ancient times".
Therefore, for future generations who are not interested in history and only have the historical level of compulsory education, among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, when it comes to Yan Kingdom, they really can't think of other popular keywords besides Jing Ke.
As soon as the other seven heroes were mentioned, the four princes of the Warring States who satisfied the fantasies of the second middle school boy were Wei, Zhao, Chu, and Qi.
The discordant Lian Po and Lin Xiangru are from Zhao State, the sad strategists Han Fei and Zhang Liang are from South Korea, Tian Ji and Sun Bin of horse racing are from Qi State, Pang Juan who fell in love with Sun Bin and killed each other is from Wei State, and Yu Ji, the overlord who is the most lovable in history, is from Chu State, needless to say from Qin State, Yingzheng Lu Buwei Baiqi basically belongs to the top hot words.
The only thing that is difficult to find a keyword is Yan Guo, if there is no Jing Ke to assassinate Qin, or if there is no Tai Shi Gong to set up a biography for assassins, maybe Yan Guo will not even have this keyword.
However, Yan Guo can be ranked among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, so he naturally has his outstandingness.
Not only because the Yan Kingdom is located in the remote Liaodong region far away from the Central Plains for hegemony, but if you carefully check the history of the Yan Kingdom, you will find that this territory was divided by the Zhou Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty at that time, and the Zhou Dynasty was as famous as Zhou Gongdan and Taigong.
Therefore, it is destined that the territory of Yandi will make immortal contributions to the opening up of China, and it is also destined not to leave too many shots in the mainstream events of history.
Because the Yan State has always been immersed in the harsh environment of Liaodong and the struggle against the barbaric nomads.
However, the virtuous and wise lords of the Yan State are not weaker than the other vassal states.
In addition to Su Qin, who hung the seal of the Six Kingdoms, Li Bai once briefly introduced the talents of the prosperous world of Yan Kingdom in "Difficult to Walk".
'You don't see the Yan family in the past, Guo Kui, and there is no suspicion of supporting the festival.
The drama Xin Leyi is grateful, and the liver is dissected to serve the talents.
King Zhao's white bones linger on the grass, who sweeps the golden platform'
Guo Kui persuaded King Yan Zhao to buy horse bones, and King Yan Zhao returned Guo Kui a 'golden platform' that has been passed down through the ages, and recruited top generals who can stand side by side with Bai Qi and Li Mu for Yan Guo, Le Yi.
There is also a Legalist master who helped Yan Guo change the law and made the country rich.
and Zou Yan, who founded the famous Yin-Yang family, the Five Elements Theory, also went to Yan Kingdom.
With these talents in the world, and far away from the whirlpool of the Central Plains war, although the living environment is a little miserable, it is still satisfied with the vast accumulation of grain and the king of the country, and then a wave of development of the capital of the Central Plains.
But the kings of Yan State, since King Yan Zhao seem to have been a little ill-fated, King Yan Hui, the successor of King Yan Zhao, hid Anbang's talent drama Xin Xue as soon as he took office, and also suffered a discord plan to drive away Le Yi, who was able to guard Yan Kingdom, resulting in Qi Guotian Shan recovering the country, and suddenly beating the originally strong and good Yan Kingdom to half-crippled.
Gongsun Cao, the prime minister of the country, saw that King Yanhui really couldn't take it, so he took the righteousness of the family and the country to kill the king, killed Queen Yanhui and helped King Yan Wucheng, and although King Yan Wucheng was a defender, he appointed Le Yi's son Le Jian as the minister of state after succeeding to the throne, but Yan was already in a semi-crippled state, and Tiandan recovered the lost land of Qi, so that the territory of Yan State shrank and could only develop to the east.
Then after a short life, King Yan Xiao opened up the territory of Yan to the east for thousands of miles, subdued some small tribes and replenished blood, and after Yan Wangxi's generation, he began to die again.
At that time, Qin and Zhao were in the middle of the war, Yan Wang Xi thought that he could sneak attack and pick up cheap, sent troops to attack Zhao State, and wanted to drive the royal conquest in person, and the country was opposed by Xiangle, if it wasn't for the doctor's death, Yan State might have destroyed the country a few years earlier.
In the end, Yan Wangxi still forcibly let Le Jian send troops to attack Zhao State, but was defeated by Lian Po and Le Cheng, and Le Jian also saw that Yan Wangxi could not take it, so he also learned from his father Le Yi and surrendered to live in seclusion in Zhao State.
Later, Lian Po took advantage of the victory to pursue, until he surrounded the capital of Yan State, if it were not for the doctor's general Qu who knew the art of confluence and longitudinal and negotiated peace with Zhao State, Yan State was estimated to be destroyed.
But Yan Wangxi, who had been recuperating for a few years, began to die again, and found the seventy-year-old veteran Ju Xin out and asked him to attack Zhao Guo again, but Ju Xin was too old, plus the enemy, and was defeated by his old friend Pang Xuan.
The two defeats completely weakened the Yan State, and Yan Wangxi no longer died, and sent his crown prince Yan Dan to the Qin State as a proton, in order to ensure friendship with the powerful Qin State at that time, and seek the blessing of the Qin State.
But unexpectedly, after the Qin State destroyed Zhao, Prince Dan suddenly changed his temperament when he returned to China, and he tried his best to organize a joint rebellion against Qin, but Yan Wangxi did not dare to fight again, and did not agree to Prince Dan's proposal.
As a result, there was the 'Assassination of Qin' plan planned by Prince Dan privately, which accelerated the process of the destruction of the Yan Kingdom.
Yan Guo was in a good situation, there were two opportunities to annex Qi State, but they were missed because the monarch liked to die, as a courtier of Yan State, especially after the 'virtuous minister', Gongsun Ge had long been sad about these pig teammates like King Yan.
Originally, the Gongsun family thought that if they killed a King Yan Hui, they would be able to save the Yan Kingdom from falling into the general's position, but they didn't expect that the monarch behind them would be even more unreliable, and the Gongsun family would not have the courage to kill the monarch again.
After all, grandfather Gongsun Cao killed the monarch, that was the default plan of the Yan State government and the opposition, after all, the king of Yan Hui was too pitted, so even if Gongsun Cao killed the king, this matter did not cause too much turmoil in the Six Kingdoms, because it was suppressed by the Yan State, so the prince doctor.
Instead, the Gongsun family won a special status in the Yan Kingdom.
This rebellious history of killing kings is also a secret dug up by Taishi Gong in the secrecy of "Zhao Shijia".
But if Gongsun Ge follows his grandfather's example of killing the monarch and saving the country, it is basically impossible to be scolded by all generations, even if he succeeds, he will definitely be martyred, and he will be implicated in the fate of the three clans.
The first is that the Gongsun family does not have much real power now, and then everyone knows that the fall of the Yan Kingdom is only a matter of time, and it is not possible to kill a dying king at this time.
And although Gongsun Ge has no official position now, and he is not in his position and does not seek politics, there are still some complaints, especially after confirming that Uncle Le is the identity of Le Yi's descendant, and he has something to do with the declining Wu'anjun Su Qin.
actually set up a banquet to entertain Gao Yanli and Uncle Le.
And after a few glasses of wine, he began to call Uncle Le a brother and sister, scolding Yan Wang for being immoral, and he was very happy to scold.
If in normal times, this kind of rebellious words spread, no matter how fortunate the Gongsun family is favored by the king, it is at least a felony of the three clans.
However, now that the country is destroyed, all kinds of political parties in the country have no intention of fighting infighting, and are trying to find a way out after the destruction of the country.
Gao Yanli also did not participate in the scolding of King Yan by these two people, because he knew that these two belonged to the mentality of loyal ministers who hated iron but could not become steel.
If you really hate the royal family, you won't talk so much nonsense, and you would have already united with a few ministers of the Lord and You, entered the palace to control King Yan, and then asked the Qin army to surrender.
In the final analysis, these two people still have feelings for Yan Guo.
But Gao gradually left different, he just wanted to avenge an old friend.
The old friend was forced into Xianyang by Prince Dan to die, as a close friend, Gao Yanli's only purpose in staying in Yan Kingdom was to find an opportunity to assassinate Yan Wangxi.
Although the head of Prince Dan has been cut off and sent to the Qin State, it is still difficult to calm the resentment in Gao Gradual, and the resentment against Prince Dan has slowly shifted to the entire Yan royal family, and even the entire upper group of power.
The wine that Gongsun Ge took out tasted exactly the same as the one brought back by his old friend, and it might be more mellow, after all, so many years have passed.
These wines that have been turned into old wines by Gongsun Ge, Gao Yanli remembers that he drank one bowl and poured one bowl at a time, because Prince Dan sent too much.
"I heard that Prince Dan was fond of dog liver back then, I don't know if the cook who can be a dog liver is brought back by Cheng Anjun?" Feeling the internal fire in his body that had grown because of the drink, Gao Yuanli stopped drinking and smiled and said to Gongsun Ge, who had already drunk with red faces and red ears, and was naked.
Gongsun Ge, who was scolding the Yan royal family with Uncle Le, raised his eyebrows slightly, although his face was red and his ears were red when he drank, his eyes were not cloudy, but they were extraordinarily bright because of the stimulation of alcohol.
Glancing at the wine jars piled up into a hill around Gao Yanaway, Gongsun Ge was slightly startled, and said in his heart that there was a good amount of wine.
When Prince Dan was killed, no one dared to touch the family property, only he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and all of them were collected and brought to Liaoyang City, among which these hidden wines have always been his rare things, as a collection of things.
But he didn't like to drink it, because it was too strong, and it was easy to get drunk and boring.
I didn't expect this bitter gourd-faced man who looked soft and weak to be able to drink so many jars, and his face still didn't change, and he became more and more curious about his identity.
As the most prestigious man in the Yan Kingdom, even comparable to the crown prince, Gongsun Ge was able to stand out from the crowd of heirs, and naturally he had his specialness, and his special feature was forbearance.
And this quality is what the Gongsun family needs most at the moment, so they will choose Gongsun Ge, who has just been weakly crowned this year, as the head of the family.
Uncle Le and Gao gradually separated, Gongsun Ge naturally knew that they had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, originally thought that Uncle Le was the person in charge, but after drinking for so long and pulling so many eggs, Gongsun Ge found that Uncle Le was really here to drink!
So the person in charge who came to him is undoubtedly this bitter gourd face, Gongsun Ge has been waiting for him to take the initiative to speak, and the more he waits, the more puzzled he becomes, are these two people really here to cheat and cheat?
