Chapter 54: Qin Chuhan
A few days later, Zhang Liang heard that the righteous daughter Yu Ji not only did not poison Xiang Yu, but confessed the facts and killed herself, and her heart was both bitter and resentful.
In front of the king, the promise he made was never fulfilled in the end, and the great opportunity was missed, and he returned to the Han capital without shame, without the face to meet the king, and without the shame to stand in heaven and earth, so Zhang Liang burned all the letters on his body, and then hung his clothes and belts on the beam, and cut himself off.
Yu Jixiang died of jade, which made Xiang Yu very painful. Regardless of the opposition of the ministers, King Xiang buried Yu Ji with the gift of the mother of the country, and ordered that all servants in the palace should be enslaved, and the courtiers and guards would wear linen and filial piety for three days.
The news of King Xiang's concubine spread far and wide, and Liu Bang selected thirty beauties of the Han Dynasty and gave them to King Xiang as a sign of reconciliation.
The three-day mourning period has passed, and King Xiang is still indulging in pain, ignoring the government and politics, and anesthetizing himself with strong alcohol every day. The ministers advised, and all refused to go outside the palace.
Xiang Yu lived a sluggish life all day long, but Liu Bang felt very comfortable, the country used troops for several years, and the Qin State continued to fight, and the domestic people's livelihood was gradually withering, taking advantage of the Chu State has not yet had the intention of attacking, seize the opportunity to restore and encourage the production of the people. But for the vigilance of the Qin State, Liu Bang did not slack off in the slightest.
After some hard planning and implementation, Ah Ke and Yan Prince Dan finally got their wish to get the wreckage of the ark. On the night when he got the wreckage, Prince Dan sent someone to present the wreckage to the King of Qin, and the escort team was led by Ah Ke.
Ah Ke had already made up his mind to put life and death aside, and to avenge his brother no matter what.
After a few days, in a hurry, Ah Ke and his entourage came to the Qin Palace. Ying Zheng heard that Prince Yan Dan sent a messenger to present the wreckage of the ark and the map of the geography of Chu and Han, and he was overjoyed, and Ying Zheng, who had always been cautious, actually relaxed his vigilance, ignored Bai Qi's admonition, and insisted on personally viewing the wreckage of the ark and the whole map of Chu and Han.
When they arrived at the Qin Palace, the escorts were completely replaced by the Qin people, leaving only the messenger A Ke at the head of the group, A Ke walked at the back of the line, holding the geographical map of Chu and Han, humbling his head, step by step to the palace of the King of Qin.
Ying Zheng saw that the wreckage of the ark was really no different from the legend, and some old ministers who had seen the wreckage also said that the wreckage was indeed genuine. Ying Zheng was even more overjoyed, and his heart was full of joy, although the wreckage did not have any practical value, but it represented a symbol of status. Whoever owns it has the status of being watched and respected to the extreme. Because the wreckage of the ark is a testimony of the origin of human beings in the King Continent, it has extremely important civilization value and historical value.
The kings of the large and small kingdoms on the King Continent all longed to have it day and night, even the empress Wu Zetian of the largest Tang Empire.
"I heard that you brought a geographical map of Chu and Han, why don't you hurry up and present it?" Ying Zhengdao.
"Yes, my lord, it's with me." Ke bowed and replied.
"Leave it to me." Bai Qi stepped forward and took the map. turned around and handed it to him in front of Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng took the map, put it on the case, slowly unfolded it, and looked at it, it was really a geographical map of Chu and Han, which was more delicate and realistic than the depiction of the natives.
"Hehe, good, good, your prince is really attentive, how should this king return the gift to him? Yes, you will be exempted from paying tribute for ten years. Ying Zheng smiled happily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ah Ke said.
"Come, prepare a wine feast, and the messenger and the messenger will have a drunk day before resting." Ying Zhengdao.
Ying Zheng was only happy in his heart, but he ignored the true intention of Prince Yan Danjin to present such a valuable gift.
Not long after, the banquet was completed and everyone sat down.
The ministers congratulated the king of Qin one after another, and the king of Qin did not refuse, and soon he was dizzy with wine.
"King, Weichen still has a treasure to dedicate to you." Ah Ke said suddenly.
"Oh, there's a treasure, what's it?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.
"And the Clan." Ke replied.
"He's Bi, hurry up, General Bai waits, and the messenger will quickly present it to Gu in person." Ying Zheng saw that Bai Qi was going to pick up the treasure again, and said impatiently.
"Yes, my lord." After Ah Ke answered, he put down the wine bottle and walked into Yingzheng step by step, and when Bai Qi saw this, he half-blocked in front of Yingzheng.
Ah Ke bowed slightly, hooked his clothes with his fingertips, and clamped the inner leg with his two fingers, and took out a snow-white blade from the flesh and blood alive, the blood was bubbling and flowing, soaked in the plain white clothes, Ah Ke couldn't care about the pain, and quickly threw the blade to Ying Zheng's forehead between the lightning and flint, Bai Qi quickly caught the blade alive with his palm like lightning, just when Bai Qi stopped the blade, Ah Ke had already taken out the second blade from the inside of the other leg, silently recited the mantra, and hid his body in an instant, just when Bai Qi and everyone were dumbfounded, A blood-red splash from Ying Zheng's neck.
Everything happened, in just a few moments, when Bai Qi reacted, it was too late, he quickly pressed the blood between Ying Zheng's neck with both hands, the blood was still gurgling out, and suddenly Bai Qi let go of his hand, and in the direction of the blood-colored footprints remaining on the ground, Bai Qi threw out his iron lock hook, right in Ah Ke's back, Ah Ke staggered and fell to the ground, showing his figure, and the guards rushed up when they saw this, tying Ah Ke to subdue.
Blood continued to overflow from Yingzheng's neck and mouth, and after a while, Qin Wang Yingzheng finally lost his breath. The drunken ministers, seeing this, all came to their senses, only to realize that their king had been assassinated by the Assassins, to be exact, by the assassins sent by the Prince Dan of the Yan Kingdom.
For a time, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and they had to personally kill Ah Ke to avenge King Qin.
"Keep her first, and when the army attacks Yan Kingdom, take her to sacrifice the flag and put her in the water prison." General Bai Qi ordered the guards.
The guards used hooks to lock Ah Ke's pipa bones, bound them firmly, and put them in the water prison.
"Firmly seal the news of King Qin's death to prevent the enemy country from taking the opportunity to attack. Also, the armies are not allowed to be moved without my orders. Bai Qi said.
Above the side hall, there are generals who are not convinced.
"Why can't you adjust if you say you can't adjust it?" A military general leaned out and shouted.
The officials next to him, either whispering or talking, seemed to agree with this.
"That's it." Bai Qi took out a voucher from his arms, and the guard beside him stepped forward to take it and passed it to the courtiers one by one.
Everyone lowered their heads after seeing this, as if they had lost the courage to continue resisting.
It turned out that this paper certificate was a will made by Yingzheng on the occasion of the birth of the crown prince Fusu, to the effect that "the country has been in war for many years, and once there is any mistake, he will immediately crown the prince Fusu as the king, and he will be loyal and patriotic, and he will be promoted to the general of the country, the general leader, and the new king." Anyone who has objections should be punished by the seven clans. ”
"Since the first king has a will, we should assist General Bai and assist the new king." Prime Minister Li Si approached the front.
