Chapter 286: Jing Ke assassinates Emperor Jin
Two days before the talks of the Three Emperors.
In the camp of the Wei State.
Rumor has it that Jing Ke, the deputy commander of the Wei State Jinyi Guard, was severely punished by Zhao Changqing for his failed assassination of the Chu Emperor.
When Emperor Chu heard this, he was furious, but he didn't know why.
Sent someone to the Wei army camp to inquire, Emperor Wei personally implemented, Jing Ke disregarded the righteousness of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and assassinated the emperor of Gui in order to avenge his personal revenge, this move was the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, and after the end of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, even if Jing Ke was immediately interrogated by the Criminal Department, and when his charges were implemented, he would be sentenced to death.
Emperor Chu didn't know the situation, the assassination that day was just his own trick, how could the Wei army really find out that someone was going to assassinate him?
He asked Emperor Wei to hand over Jing Ke and let Chu personally interrogate him.
But he was rejected by Zhao Changqing, and he replied like this: "Even if Jing Ke is guilty of a big crime, after all, he is a person from the Wei State, and he should be handed over to the Wei State for personal interrogation, so he won't bother with the Chu State." ”
Emperor Chu was helpless, and in order to figure out what the situation was, he had to stand still and wait and see.
He had no way to explain to the world that the assassination he had suffered two days ago was a good play directed and acted by himself, so under this move of Wei State, he was confused.
What exactly is Wei doing this for?
Late at night.
In the camp tent of Emperor Wei.
Zhao Changqing waved a long whip in his hand, whipped Jing Ke, who was kneeling on the ground naked, and scolded: "Look at the good things you have done! It has all reached the ears of the emperor of Chu State, and now that people are asking for someone, do you think I should hand you over or not? You have merit to Wei State, but your merits and demerits cannot be offset by them.
Now is a critical period of the alliance of the Three Kingdoms, but you have done such a scandalous thing, what do you want me to say about you? If I hand you over to the Chu State, I am afraid you will not survive tonight! You are really so daring! You dare to assassinate the emperor of a country! If you dare to assassinate the Emperor of Chu today, will you assassinate me tomorrow?!"
Jing Ke knelt on the ground in repentance, and did not dare to speak, frowning tightly, enduring the pain from his back.
His entire back was already covered in blood, which showed the weight of Zhao Changqing's attack.
It lasted for half an hour before Zhao Changqing stopped and said to the people outside the camp tent: "Come on, press Jing Ke back into his camp tent, send someone to guard it strictly, not allowed to give food, only give a sip of water every day, and wait until the end of the Three Emperors Alliance, I will announce his punishment and order all the soldiers not to let anyone reveal tonight's affairs, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"
So, Jing Ke was dragged out by the soldiers outside the camp.
After Jing Ke left here, Zhuge Liang suddenly walked out from behind the screen of the emperor's tent and said to Zhao Changqing: "Your Majesty, whether this plan succeeds or not, it depends on Jing Ke." ”
Zhao Changqing couldn't bear to say: "But this method will end up putting him in danger, I'm afraid"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, in order to be able to fully implement your plan, you can sacrifice anyone when necessary, and Jing Ke already knew the consequences of this matter in advance, since he still chose to do so, he has already shown his determination." ”
Zhao Changqing said: "Maybe we have other ways, such as when the Three Emperors were negotiating, I personally solved him." ”
Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, by all means, this method is the only way that can get my Wei State out of infamy, not to mention, if after Jing Ke's assassination is successful, he is not in danger and can escape from the chaos, then His Majesty will take the opportunity to send someone to rescue Jing Ke, in this way, the focus of others will only be on Jing Ke who killed the emperor, not Your Majesty, but Wei State." If His Majesty dares to make a move against Emperor Jin, I am afraid that the Wei State will eventually lose more than it gains. ”
What he meant was that even if Jing Ke was rescued by Wei's army in the end, in the end, the people of the world would still focus on Jing Ke, because success is Jing Ke, and in this way, Wei would have a lot less spittle.
But in any case, this matter is inseparable from the Wei State itself, and some infamy should be deserved.
However, combined with the impact of the original assassination of Zhao Changqing, in fact, the Wei State will not lose much reputation at all because of this, and will not let the country take the opportunity to make trouble.
After Jing Ke returned to the camp, he endured the severe pain and put on his clothes, changed his clothes, and hid a picture in his cuffs.
After arriving at the end of the day, Jing Ke quietly walked out of the camp tent, and after fainting with sweat medicine, he left the Wei military camp.
He came to the camp of the Jin Kingdom.
said that he wanted to meet Emperor Jin and had important matters to discuss.
When Emperor Jin learned that Jing Ke was here, he had people tie him up and hand him over to Emperor Wei.
But this Jing Ke has martial arts to hide, how could he stand and be tied up by them, and then ruin the plan of the Wei State?
He knelt outside the tent of the Jin State camp and said loudly: "The alliance of the three emperors is difficult to last, the countries have ghosts, the covenant is in vain, and there are all the army deployment maps of the Wei State, the mountains and rivers of the Wei State and many secrets in the country, which can be handed over to the God of your country, I just hope that your country can be contained in the next life, and you can live in the world!"
What Jing Ke said was very tempting.
The army deployment map, this thing is the most important secret of a country, and Jing Ke said that he would send it, I have to say, this is very interesting to Emperor Jin.
He summoned Jing Ke to his tent and asked him, "You are from Wei, why did you let me save your life?"
Jing Ke said: "When the Chu State invaded the Jin State, both parents and parents were killed by the Chu army, a few days ago Japan wanted to assassinate the Chu Emperor, in order to avenge the parents, but the plan failed, unfortunately and was known by the Emperor of Wei, Your Majesty He was afraid that I would spoil the three kingdoms Alliance, so he was put under house arrest, and it took a lot of effort to escape from the Wei army camp, if the Jin Emperor let people be tied up in the next and go back, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape death, so please ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Jin State to rescue!"
Emperor Jin sneered: "The story is not bad, but what official position do you hold in the Wei Army? How do you know such important drawing information?"
Jing Ke replied: "I am the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the Wei State, this is the organization in charge of the confidential intelligence of the Wei State, so I know these things well, if the Jin Emperor does not believe it, I can send someone to the Wei State to inquire." ”
Emperor Jin knew about Jing Ke, and even knew that he had been beaten by Emperor Wei in the past few days, but with just two sentences, Emperor Jin could not trust him, so he said: "I heard that you have made a lot of contributions to the Wei State, why, assassinating the emperors of other countries, can't the emperors of your country save you?"
Jing Ke pretended to sneer after hearing this: "Heh, Your Majesty has done everything to reach an alliance with the Chu State, at such a critical moment, how could Your Majesty save me alone and affect the relationship between the two countries? A few days ago, His Majesty went to see Xu Fengyun, the prince of Beiliang, to discuss the matter of dealing with the Jin Kingdom, and I don't know much about this matter, but what can be known is that they already have a definite plan to deal with the Jin Kingdom, and only Beiliang's response can be implemented. ”
For Emperor Jin, the current relationship with other countries is not so important, but as long as it involves the domestic situation, Emperor Jin will be particularly dignified.
Because he knows better than anyone that the current Jin Kingdom is terminally ill, and if he wants to restore his former glory, he must make drastic reforms and eliminate the hidden dangers of party strife, but in doing so, it is extremely energy-consuming, and at the same time, he also needs a very courageous emperor to lead all this, it is obvious that he is not such an emperor, and his energy is really limited, and he may die at some point.
One of the most reassuring domestic hidden dangers for him is Beiliang.
As long as it is about Beiliang, it is not a trivial matter in the heart of Emperor Jin.
Although he knew that Xu Fengyun, the prince of Beiliang, had met the Emperor of Wei, he only thought that he had met him, and he had not yet found time to investigate this matter.
Jing Ke is also gambling, he is gambling, Emperor Jin at this time, he suspects Beiliang, and will not let the prince of Beiliang come to confront him.
However, what he didn't know was that Emperor Jin had always been very suspicious of Beiliang.
Facts have also proved that Emperor Jin's suspicion is not wrong.
He looked at Jing Ke and asked again, "Why should I believe you have these words?"
Jing Ke was overjoyed.
Emperor Jin can ask this, which means that today's plan can be carried out.
He said: "Because of your sincerity, it is enough to make Your Majesty trust." As long as His Majesty can let Zai stay in the Jin camp every day to avoid this catastrophe, Zai Xia will definitely be grateful. ”
Emperor Jin thought about it again and again, and felt that it was nothing to look at the drawings that recorded the military town of Wei.
The main reason is that the allure brought by this drawing is really too great.
If war breaks out again between the Jin army and the Wei army at this time, then you can know where to attack the Wei State and get twice the result with half the effort.
This is important information that the country's secret agents have been probing for a long time, but they may not be able to find out.
Emperor Jin said: "It's not difficult to save you, now bring the drawings to me to see." ”
And at this time, before Jing Ke could reply, he heard the voice of the scout outside the camp tent and said: "Your Majesty, the Jin State sent someone to ask for someone, saying that Jing Ke actually escaped from the camp and came to your country, it really shouldn't be, ask us to hand over the people as soon as possible." ”
After Jing Ke heard this voice, he pretended to be stunned and said: "Please save His Majesty the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and I will definitely spend my life to repay Your Majesty!"
Emperor Jin looked at Jing Ke, and after probably a cup of tea, he ordered outside the tent: "Let the people of Wei wait." ”
After a pause, he said to Jing Ke again: "Whether you can survive or not depends on whether the information you provide is valuable or not." ”
Jing Ke greeted him with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, for all the situations in the Wei State, you must know everything and say everything!"
