Chapter 20: King Qin
Towering Qin Palace.
Qin Wangzheng sat on the side of the desk, his body was wearing a royal robe painted with the twelve chapters of the sun, moon and stars, and a heavy crown on his head, seven inches wide, one foot and two inches long, with beads hanging down.
He held a bamboo slip in his hand, his eyes were bright and bright, and he was carefully reading the text on it.
After a while, he put down the bamboo slip and looked at Meng Jia, the middle concubine who was waiting beside him not far away.
"Yan envoy has arrived?"
Qin Wangzheng's voice was flat, but there was a terrifying power, which was the majesty formed by being on the top for a long time.
"Yui."
Meng Jia replied respectfully: "The Yan envoy arrived yesterday, waiting for the king's reception." ”
Seeing that King Qin bowed his head slightly, and didn't say much, Meng Jia said boldly: "The minister heard that King Yan was so frightened that he didn't dare to sleep day and night because he was afraid of the majesty of the king. ”
"Oh? King Yan also knows the power of the widow. King Qin seemed to be a little interested.
Meng Jia hurriedly responded: "Only." The day before yesterday, the general led the army to destroy Zhao, the army was in Zhongshan, and my great Qin soldiers pointed directly at Yishui, like a sword hanging above the head of King Yan, he was frightened day and night, for fear that the king would destroy his society. ”
"Therefore, the king of Yan did not dare to send an army to resist the soldiers of my Great Qin, and was willing to attach the whole country to the king, become the king's courtiers, and pay taxes, just like the counties directly under him. He only hoped that the king could avoid the danger of his downfall, so that Yan Guo could guard the temple of the former king and keep the blood and food surnamed Ji. ”
King Qin smiled coldly and was noncommittal.
Meng Jia gritted his teeth and said, "King Yan is afraid of the majesty of the king, and he does not dare to come in person to tell him about his loyalty to the king. Therefore, he cut off the head of the traitor Fan Yuzhi, and presented the map of the place where the governor of Yan State was over, sealed it in a box, held a solemn farewell ceremony in the court, and sent envoys to Xianyang to explain the situation to the king, hoping to get the king's forgiveness. ”
"Fan Yuzhi."
Hearing the familiar name, King Qin's eyes narrowed, and his fingers tapped lightly on the wooden case.
Meng Jia lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
After a long time, King Qin spoke: "Since King Yan is sincerely attached, then let Yan Guo set an example in the world and show Qi and Chu." ”
"Tell Changping Jun to agree on the time and receive the Yan envoy with the etiquette of nine guests."
"Yui."
Meng Jia looked overjoyed, and the task was accomplished.
His performance today is worthy of the house full of jewels and gold.
Just as Meng Jia turned around and wanted to retreat, the indifferent voice of King Qin came from behind him.
"Meng Jia, you speak like this for Yan Guo today. Can you tell the widow how much money he received? ”
……
"Fan Yuzhi has a complicated relationship with the King of Qin, and the King of Qin will want to see his head as soon as possible."
If that's right, he'll look at the head before he reads the map. At that time, I will personally hold the picture to the King of Qin on the grounds that the national gift is cherished and cannot be borrowed from others. You prepare before the case, and when the dagger appears, quickly come forward to help me. ”
"I have already found out clearly, Qin's laws and regulations are strict, and those who enter the palace cannot carry blades, although those Lang Zhong have weapons, they are all guarding under the main hall, and they can't go to the palace without the edict of King Qin, this is our opportunity!"
"There are weapons in the palace, but the only one is the King of Qin. But when he sees the dagger, he will be panicked, and I will take the opportunity to assassinate him, and if I can kill him with a single blow, it will be excellent. If not, I won't give him a chance to draw his sword. ”
"The case of the envoy, close to the king, the distance between you and the king of Qin is closer than all the ministers. I believe that when the incident happens, the temple will be in a panic, and you must seize this opportunity, step forward first, and form a two-to-one trend with me. ”
"In this way, the big thing can be decided, and the king of Qin will die!"
"Do you understand?"
Jing Ke's voice was calm, and he told Zhao Tuo about tomorrow's plan in detail.
"Yui."
Zhao Tuo nodded, Jing Ke's plan was similar to what he knew in his previous life.
Jing Ke will find an excuse to personally display the picture, at this time, the heroic style of the Warring States still exists, and it is not as rigid as the rules of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, and the King of Qin will not stop Jing Ke from offering the picture, this is the opportunity to assassinate.
Coupled with the deputy envoy on the side, it only took a few seconds to rush in front of King Qin at the time of the incident, and it was a win no matter how you look at it.
In history, Jing Ke assassinated Qin because Qin Wuyang was incompetent, and as soon as he arrived in His Majesty, he changed color in fear, causing the ministers and the King of Qin to be alerted and not allowed to come forward.
caused Jing Ke to become one-on-one in the decisive battle, and Jing Ke's assassination technique seemed to be a bit problematic, and he was finally killed by King Qin.
Zhao Tuo believed that his ability was definitely stronger than Qin Wuyang's.
If he had his help, Jing Ke's assassination of Qin would have been successful!
It's just that he will pay the price accordingly.
Jing Ke glanced at Zhao Tuo deeply.
This kid is so calm!
Although he knew that Zhao Tuo was young and intelligent, he was calm and calm, and he had the demeanor of his youth.
But this is a major event to assassinate the King of Qin!
Once successful, blood splashes in five steps, and the world is vegetarian.
You didn't even change your complexion, this composure and calmness shocked Jing Ke, who has always been conceited.
Why, this kid is a natural assassin!
The dictatorship and Nie Zheng of the world?
Jing Ke suppressed the surprise in his heart, solemnly discussed the details with Zhao Tuo, and deliberated on all possible scenes.
At the end of the discussion, the two of them practiced with a map in the house, trying to be foolproof.
It was night, and the sky was cloudy, there was no moon shining, and it was dark except for the lights in the building.
There was a cold wind howling at night, and the trees in the house rustled.
The night is dark and the wind is high.
In the house, Jing Ke put away the map, everything was planned, just waiting for tomorrow.
That will be the most brilliant moment of his life.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhao Tuo and asked for the last time: "Now that you know everything, have you ever complained to me for letting you embark on this road of no return?" ”
Zhao Tuo shook his head and said with a smile: "If it weren't for Jing Qing, Tuo would have starved to death by the bank of Yishui, or was killed by Qin Wuyang that night." There will be no complaints. ”
It's true.
Although Zhao Tuo wanted to escape this bottomless whirlpool several times, he never complained about Jing Ke.
If it weren't for Jing Ke, he would have died a long time ago.
Outside, the sky was dyed red with blinding light.
The flames are burning.
Thick smoke filled the building, irritating people to cough incessantly.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
Chaotic and panicked shouts rang out in the building, followed by all kinds of noises, screams, and neighing of horses accompanied by billowing smoke echoing over Xianyang.
Fire, is unleashing its energy.
Jing Ke's complexion changed drastically, and he held the map of Du Kang and the box containing Fan Yu's head in his arms.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Tuo followed Jing Ke closely and rushed out of the house.
I saw that this vast state guest house was in chaos at the moment.
The fire had already burned several houses and was still spreading. The crowd was surging, including attendants fleeing and officials with buckets of water to put out the fire.
"Shangqing, are you okay waiting?"
Ling Cheng of the pedestrian department rushed in in a panic, and was relieved to see Jing Ke holding the map and box safe.
He is the person in charge of this place, if there is a problem with the envoy of the Yan State Mission, or the treasure offered by the Yan Kingdom, he will be finished.
Jing Ke's face sank like water, and he asked, "It's okay." What the hell is going on with this fire? ”
Ling Cheng was also confused, and he shook his head: "I don't know where the fire was lost." Let's not talk about that, Shangqing, you go with me to a safe place. ”
At this moment, a thin young man rushed over from the chaotic crowd.
Across.
"Jing Qing, Tuo. It's riding the sun! ”
"I saw that it was Qiyang who set the fire, and he set it on fire, so he took advantage of the chaos and went out through the back door. He was still yelling about something big. ”
Jing Ke and Zhao Tuo's faces both changed greatly.
The incident is about to happen, and he is most afraid of accidents, although he doesn't know what the big thing is in Qiyang's mouth, but since he dares to set fire to escape, I am afraid that he must rely on it.
If you guess badly, the consequences are unimaginable.
Tomorrow's events must not be flawed!
"He can't escape, I'll go."
Zhao Tuo whispered in Jing Ke's ear, with murderous intent in his words.
Jing Ke's face was cloudy, but at this time, Meng Yu, the five doctors in charge of receiving the mission, also rushed over.
Jing Ke can't get out!
forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in my heart, and now, there is no other way. The surrounding crowd was chaotic, and apart from Zhao Tuo, Jing Ke couldn't find an assistant he could trust.
This son should be able to be believed.
Jing Ke nodded to Zhao Tuo, but did not let Heng follow Zhao Tuo away, but just asked him to point out the direction for Zhao Tuo, and then stayed by Jing Ke's side.
Zhao Tuo's figure disappeared into the firelight......
