Chapter 261: Repay the king's will on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king!

Looking at the northeast, Jiang Qu seemed to whisper to people, and seemed to be muttering to himself: "King." ”

"In the past, you didn't think that the minister was from a humble background, but when you heard that the minister had some ability, you personally came to the minister's house and asked the minister to be an official."

"But in the past, the ministers were just ordinary farmers with a few acres of thin fields and arrogant exports, and they were ashamed of themselves and didn't dare to ascend to a high position."

"So much so that the king personally came to the door three times and invited him, so that the peasant son fifty years ago once became the envy of the neighbors and the pride of his parents, and now he has even become a state of the country!"

"Because of the poverty of his courtiers, the king always used the excuse to reward money and land. Because of the cowardice of the ministers, the king never reprimanded the ministers, but only encouraged. ”

"The ministers remember it, they all remember it clearly!"

Jiang Qu couldn't help but recall the past scenes of fifty years ago.

At that time, King Yan Zhao was over fifty years old, but he was resolute and resolute, benevolent and gentle, humble and thirsty.

He took Guo Kui as his teacher, respected Guo Kui's advice, gave a thousand gold to buy horse bones, and built a golden platform to serve the world's virtuous.

Again and again, he personally invited anyone who might have talent, and if he was denied, he invited again, twice.

He is over half a hundred years old and is the king of Yan, but he has let go of his pride as a king, and in order to seek talent, he doesn't even want a face!

He treated the envoys of Wei who might be talented and invited them all day long, so that the envoys of Wei changed jobs on the way to become the Yaqing of Yan State, and finally became Le Yi of 'Seventy Cities Receiving a Smile, Qiang Yan at that time', and ranking among the ten philosophers of Wumiao.

He had no suspicion of the defeated generals of the previous dynasty who had been enslaved in Donghu for more than ten years after being defeated and captured, and took advantage of the chaos to flee back, rewarded his hardships and vigorously promoted, so that the defeat of the former dynasty would be the king of Yanzhao to chase Donghu thousands of miles in the north and the east of the Kei clan for two thousand miles, and opened up the land of five counties for the Yan country, and led the construction of the Great Wall of Yanbei, which eventually became a nightmare for foreign races, and the virtuous general Qin Kai!

There are also views such as "the end of the five virtues" and "the great Kyushu", which have influenced the later generations for more than 2,000 years.

It was during that period that Jiang Qu, who was in his twenties, was invited to the court.

In front of the sages, the ditch is insignificant.

He is just a petty official standing behind Qunxian, and he doesn't need to worry even if the sky falls, because there are always 'tall people' on top of him.

Jiangqu only needs to follow in the footsteps of the sages and move forward happily, witnessing the explosive growth of this country, which was originally only a second-rate small country, due to the concerted efforts of the Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers, and leaped into the ranks of the Seven Heroes!

Thinking about it, Jiang Qu was already in tears: "However, the minister's military strategy, Xunchang Guojun (Le Yi) is far away!" ”

"The strategy of the minister, Sun Guozi (Guo Kui) is far away!"

"Now that the sages have left the court, such a humble (humble) and despicable (despicable) person as a minister can be my great Yan Xiangbang."

"The minister is really incompetent, I can only watch my Dayan fall, and there is no chance of revival!"

"The minister is really old, he really can't carry it!"

The former giants either fled or died or were expelled, but the petty official who followed Qunxian fifty years ago has become the prime minister of today's Yan Kingdom, and has become the 'tallest' person in Yan Kingdom.

But his talent is not outstanding, and he is often drawn by the king with a ladder, even if he straightens his waist, raises his arms, and stands on tiptoe, he can't carry the banner of Yan Kingdom!

Put the palm of the canal inward, press the left hand on the right hand, arch it to the ground, and kowtow heavily: "Minister, I am ashamed of the grace of the king!" ”

Not far away, Ying Cheng rode his horse and galloped, shouting anxiously: "Rush over and stop Yan Xiang!" ”

"Hexagram!"

Jiang Qu said softly: "Hold the shield, and send it for another ride." ”

Qu Lang wiped away his tears, stood behind Jiang Qu with a shield, and roared angrily: "Be careful of the Qin Army's secret arrows and protect the family master!" ”

More than 300 remaining family soldiers picked up their blades and aimed them at Yingcheng, and ten family soldiers held shields to protect all parts of the Jiangqu body.

Ying Cheng galloped on his horse, pierced the neck of a family soldier with a halberd, and shouted loudly: "The two armies are fighting for their own masters, and if they lose, they will be defeated, so why bother to kill themselves?" ”

"King Yan is not kind to talents, but I, King Qin, are thirsty for talents."

"Fighting for the prosperity of a country, if you don't fight for the prosperity of the world, you can treat Yan Xiang with the position of Jiuqing on behalf of my king."

"Don't ......"

Jiang Qu didn't care about Ying Cheng, he didn't even listen to what Ying Chengcheng was saying.

Jiang Qu just hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeve, trying to maintain the most decent posture for himself, and then drew his sword out of its sheath and lay it across the side of his neck.

Looking at the direction of the Golden Terrace, Jiang Qu muttered softly in anticipation, nervousness and guilt:

"King!"

"Chenqu, I'm here to ask for sin!"

Sword cross!

Blood spilled!

The body can't be restrained full of blood, spilling out in the direction of the golden platform!

"Dangchang~"

Listening to the sound of the long sword falling to the ground, the three hundred generals of the Qu family soldiers shed their robes with tears and roared sadly:

"Congratulations to the master of the house!"

Looking at the body that would fall forward, Ying Chengcheng's eyes were full of shock and helplessness.

Great Qin never demanded loyalty from his subordinates and people, but relied on laws, rewards, and punishments to build a system of rule.

The second is a human being, but this is the first time that Ying Chengcheng has seen a person who is willing to die calmly for another person.

Ying Chengcheng heard Yan Zhao early and sang generously and sadly.

Today, Ying Chengcheng finally understands what generosity and tragedy are!

Ying Chengcheng was in a state of confusion, turned over and dismounted, and kicked Qu Lang who was blocking him:

"Get out!"

With a kick that came out angrily, Qu Lang kicked him upside down and flew half a foot, spitting blood from his mouth.

But Qu Lang did not fight back, and the other Jiangqu's family soldiers stopped fighting, and Ying Chengcheng was able to walk smoothly in front of Jiangqu.

Looking at Jiang Qu, whose eyes were already a little sloppy, Ying Cheng's mood became more and more complicated.

Perhaps, it is Jiangqu's loyalty that makes Ying Chengcheng ashamed.

Perhaps, it is Ying Chengchan who longs for such a person to defect to Great Qin and be used by Qin.

Or maybe Ying Chengcheng didn't want Jiangqu's death to further stimulate the patriotic feelings of the Yan people.

All kinds of emotions finally turned into a soft sigh:

"Repay the king's will on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king!"

For Li He, this is just one of the lines of a poem he made to boost morale and express his ambitions.

But for Jiang Qu, and many people like Jiang Qu, this is their experience and their life!

Ying Chengcheng half-squatted down, and said gently and sincerely: "Yan Xiangqu, worthy of anyone!" ”

"It is a great fortune for Yan Kingdom to be able to get such a generous and sad person!"

A little brilliance welled up from the depths of Jiang Qu's eyes, trying to smile at Ying Cheng.

Jiangqu can already predict the end of the great prosperity of the Qin State and the destruction of the Yan State, and he is unable to return to the sky.

The history books of the Yan Kingdom may be burned like many small countries, and the efforts of the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Zhao Dynasty will also be thrown into the dust of history.

But as the hero of the Great Qin Chang'an Jun and the destruction of the two countries, what he said and did will be more people's attention, and the Qin State will not burn the record of Ying Chengcheng.

With Ying Chengcheng's praise, perhaps more people will know the golden platform in the past, and know the wise Yan King on the golden platform.

Jiang Qu suddenly felt that he had died as he deserved!

"Ho~" The weak air flow mixed with blood spurted out of his throat, and Jiang Qu couldn't say his thanks in person after all, and his eyes completely lost their lustre, just staring at the direction of the golden platform for a long time and couldn't close his eyes.

Ying Chengcheng gently helped Qu close his eyes, and said softly: "If King Yan Zhao is really worthy of Yan Xiang's loyalty, he won't blame you." ”

"Go in peace."

Standing up straight, Ying Cheng Cheng straightened his armor, threw his hands away, and shouted: "Great Qin Chang'an Jun, Gongzi Cheng Chan, send Yan Guo Xiangbang!" ”

With Ying Cheng taking the lead, no matter what the Qin army's officers and soldiers had about the generals, they all gave their hands together:

"Congratulations to Yan Guoxiangbang!"

The cry of 100,000 people resounded through the wilderness, and the voice spread to heaven and earth.

It was announced that the last courtier who had been loyal to King Yan Zhao on the golden platform and was still in the Yan Kingdom had also gone with King Yan Zhao.

The remnants of the old era completely withdrew from the world stage.

King Yan Zhao's legacy to the Yan Kingdom has also been completely lost!

Qu Lang and other soldiers endured the severe pain and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to thank him: "Thank you Chang'anjun." ”

Ying Chengcheng shook his head lightly: "Yu Gong, Ben will and Yan Xiang each be their masters, and fighting to the death is just to be loyal to the country." ”

"In private, I will have respect for Yan Xiang."

"Such loyal people deserve to be sent on a ride by Ben himself."

"Where does Yan Xiang want to be buried?"

Qu Lang said without hesitation: "Endless Mountain!" ”

King Yan Zhao was not buried in Jicheng, but at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain.

Jiang Qu's biggest wish in recent years is to be buried closer to King Yan Zhao, so that it will be more convenient for him to go down to Jiuyou alone to find King Yan Zhao.

Immediately afterwards, Qu Lang sighed softly: "However, the head of the family doesn't know if he has this qualification." ”

"If you can't be buried in Wujian Mountain, the head of the family hopes to be buried back in his hometown."

After Ying Chengcheng was silent for a few breaths, he said in a deep voice: "Order!" ”

"The gift of honoring the prince and the marquis will take the coffin to inherit the Yan Xiang, and send the Yan Xiang back to the court."

"Send an envoy to the country of Yan and ask the king of Yan to bury Yan Xiang in the endless mountain."

"If King Yan doesn't want to ......" paused, Ying Cheng's voice turned cold: "Then stop at thistle for the time being." ”

"No need to wait, it will come!"

How does Ying Cheng go to Jicheng?

Since he led the troops north, he came!

When Ying Cheng made such a threat, Yan Wangxi had no choice.

Would you rather go to war with the Qin State than bury your courtiers who are loyal to the country?

Yan Wang Xi is so hateful to his loyal ministers!

Who will be loyal to Yan Wangxi!

Qu Lang kowtowed again gratefully: "Thank you, Chang'anjun!" ”

Ying Chengcheng received this kowtow from Qu Lang and others, and bowed his head gently: "Clean up and rest, and prepare to send Yan Xiang home." ”

Walking out of the army slowly, Ying Chengcheng saw that Le Xun and the others who had just surrendered were pushed to the ground by the Qin army, and a group of middle-aged tall generals were crying at the moment.

Jiang Ming hurriedly explained: "They all intend to kill themselves, and the general will have to control them. ”

Ying Cheng looked around at everyone and said softly: "Go back to China with Ben." ”

"It won't be long before Ben will take you to sweep the tomb of Yan Xiang, and he will also take you to tell King Yan together."

"How many loyal people he has been ashamed of!"

Qin Kai's expansion of the territory of 3,000 li and the capture of the land of the five counties sounds like a very vague concept, compared with the current map, it is about the area of Zhangjiakou in the west, Yanqing District in the south, Shenyang in the north, and Bochuan in Korea in the east.

According to the current archaeology and research, it can be basically determined that the Yanbei Great Wall was built by Qin Kai, and Qin Kai also built the 'Hou City', which is also the beginning of the construction of Shenyang.

However, because most of Qin Kai's achievements were fought against foreign peoples, Qin Kai was not favored by historians, and was only mentioned when the dynasties declared their sovereignty over the north and east 'since ancient times', or when they studied the development of foreign races, or when they served as a background board for his grandson Qin Wuyang. The lack of historical materials made Qin Kai's specific achievements from the Han Dynasty to be argued, until the Song Dynasty 'noisy' into a consensus, cheese and reference to Mr. Gu Jiegang, Professor Li Zhongyuan and other teachers research results and archaeological excavation results to make the above judgment, if there is a big guy found something inappropriate, please do not hesitate to tell!
