Chapter Twenty-Five: Asking the Right Question
King Qin stood up and drew his sword, blood splattered three steps.
The bronze king's case bloomed with crimson flowers.
Jing Ke's body fell heavily to the ground, and the two Langwei warriors who had been prepared had already rushed to the front of the case and restrained Jing Ke who fell to the ground.
"The car cracks."
King Qin's voice was like frost.
"Yui."
Lang Wei dragged Jing Ke out of the hall alone, and picked up the dagger that Zhao Tuo had already thrown on the ground, and glanced at the young man in front of him curiously.
Zhao Tuo knelt on the ground, his body upright, and his eyes were very calm.
What should be said and what should be done, he has already said and done.
Everything else will be decided by the king of the case.
Behind him, there was the roar of the ministers of the Qin State.
"King, Yan Xi and Yan Dan dare to send assassins to commit murder, and they should wipe out the Yan Kingdom!"
"Flatten the Yan Kingdom and overthrow its society!"
……
In that angry voice, King Qin had sat down on the emperor's couch again, he didn't pay attention to the noisy ministers in the hall, and looked directly at Zhao Tuo who was facing the case.
"Who taught you what you said about the world?"
His voice was so indifferent that it was impossible to judge the emotions contained in it.
Zhao Tuo responded: "The king." No one taught, but they all comprehended what they saw and heard. ”
"The minister was originally the grandson of the former Pingyang monarch, and he was born in the family of Zhong Ming Ding Shi since he was a child, so he once studied the history of the princes with his master."
"In the minister's view, the princes have been fighting for years, and the common people have suffered heavy casualties, all because there are too many kings in the world, and each of them wants to destroy other countries and expand their own territory, which leads to endless wars."
"If there is only one king and only one voice in the world, and there is only one country in the world, then naturally there will be no more wars, and the common people can truly settle down, live and work in peace and contentment, and multiply. Therefore, the minister was reluctant to assassinate Jing Ke, hoping that the king could dominate the world and let all the people in the world be at peace. ”
This is Zhao Tuo's true words.
He eventually broke with Jing Ke, not just to save his life.
Coming from later generations, he knew very well how important a unified country really was.
Within the Liuhe, the land of the emperor.
Wading quicksand in the west, and reaching the north in the south.
There is the East China Sea in the east, and Bactria in the north.
Wherever people go, there are no subordinates.
It is not only the expansion of territory and territory, but also the fact that all the people of the world can unite under the leadership of one voice, and its power will far exceed that of the past.
Zhao Tuo knew that judging from the current general trend, even if King Qin was really assassinated, most of the Qin State would still be able to unify and successfully annex the Six Kingdoms.
However, it will take more time, and I don't know how long it will take to complete this great cause of reunification.
But, time is running out!
Zhao Tuo knew very well that on the grasslands in the north, the clouds were condensing.
The Xiongnu were growing stronger, and now not only did they own the vast northern steppes, but they also occupied Henan north of Guanzhong, and even the Great Northern Wall built by King Wuling of Zhao was under the control of the nomads.
Yinshan, Yangshan, Beijiao......
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, fertile fields for thousands of miles.
The Huns who occupied this area will become stronger and stronger, and they will also destroy the Donghu in the near future, expel the Yue, conquer the Western Regions, and establish a vast steppe empire.
Then, they will set their sights on the south, the land of China.
In his previous life, Han Gaozu was trapped in Baishan Mountain and begged for mercy in humiliation.
The princess of the Han family went north to Hudi and dedicated herself to begging for peace.
The Han-Hungarian bloody war lasted for a hundred years, and only then did he raise his eyebrows.
Among them, I don't know how many people died, and I don't know how much blood was shed.
This is still a situation formed after Meng Tian drove the Xiongnu to the north and hit it hard, and the Han family quickly unified China.
If the king of Qin was killed, the unification war would continue to be delayed, and it would not be possible to recapture Henan in time and hit the Xiongnu hard.
The Xiongnu will be even stronger than the original history.
Can a divided China withstand the mighty Xiongnu Empire?
Zhao Tuo didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't dare to try.
So even if he dies here, he has to stop Jing Ke.
King Qin can't die!
Qin Shi Huang must unify the world!
King Qin looked at Zhao Tuo deeply.
The theory of great unification has a long history, whether it is Confucianism, law, Taoism, Mo and other sub-theories, in fact, there are theories related to great unification, but each has its own differences.
Such a theory itself is not unusual, if the words just now were said by an old man who is accustomed to seeing things in the world, such as Wei Yi and Li Si, King Qin would not be too surprised.
But it was a teenager who said this, and his age was not much different from Fusu.
Thinking of Fusu, King Qin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
At the same age, there is such a big difference in opinion and knowledge, which is really amazing.
King Qin's thoughts were surging in his heart, but his face was silent, and he said lightly: "But Qin Zhao's enemies for generations, Wu Anjun killed hundreds of thousands of Zhao people back then, and today the widow has destroyed you Zhao Guosheji, and even the people killed have your relatives." As a member of the Zhao clan, don't you hate it at all? ”
Zhao Tuo's face was calm.
"King Yu, the minister's parents did not die at the hands of the Qin people, but died at the hands of the King of Zhao. There is no hatred between the minister and the Qin state. ”
"As for the Zongmiao Sheji, it is as the minister said to Jing Ke just now. I don't know how many people in the world have died, even the Son of Heaven died that week, what is the temple of Zhao Guozong in the face of this general trend of unification? ”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of King Qin's mouth: "That's why you deliberately set fire to the fire and take advantage of the night to commit adultery, so that the widow can prepare for this assassination in advance." ”
"Yui."
"The minister believes that the king will unify the world, which will be much better than the melee of the princes."
Zhao Tuo's voice was clear, echoing in this hall.
All the ministers in the hall looked at the back of the kneeling young man in surprise.
This teenager has brought them too much surprise today.
"This son has seen so much, and he will be successful in the future."
Standing in front of the hall, Captain Qin Zhibang stroked the white beard under his chin and sighed: "Li Changshi, you have discovered a good talent this time. ”
Changshi Li Si on the side also agreed with the head, he thought that the young man came to the door that night to commit adultery, just to save his life.
After all, Qin Law has a saying that those who accuse adulterers will be exempted from punishment and can get a reward.
But he didn't expect this young man to have such insight.
As King Qin's confidant, Li Si is very clear.
King Qin was moved by the young man in front of him.
"Wang Li, you take him down, there is a reward and punishment for this matter."
"Yui."
With the king's order, Lang Wei Wang Li, who was waiting on the side, stretched out his hand to Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo saluted King Qin again, got up and walked out of the hall with Wang Li.
Everywhere he passed, all the ministers of the Qin State paid attention to him.
This young man's face is deeply rooted in my mind.
"King, Yan Guo plotted to assassinate, the crime is extremely evil, and he should be punished!"
As soon as Zhao Tuo came out of the palace, the ministers in the palace spoke out again.
King Qin glanced at the surging courtiers, and a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
The reason why he continued to rehearse this assassination scene after knowing that Jing Ke would assassinate Qin was not only because King Qin had the confidence to control everything.
is even more because he wants to make this matter an excuse for Yan Yan.
Jing Ke's assassination of Qin was the first provocation of Yan Guo!
If the Qin State destroys Yan, it will also be the King of Yan to blame.
After this incident, the whole Qin State will be filled with righteous indignation, the people's sentiment will be turbulent, and the destruction of Yan is inevitable.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Chu, and Qi did not dare to support Yan in this situation.
In this matter, although the risk is large, the profit is also large.
Not to mention King Qin, this time he met a young man who made him tempted.
King Qin's expression was solemn, and he announced in words full of majesty.
"General Ling, kill Yan."
"Widow, I want Yan Dan's head!"
