Who are the four great assassins in ancient China? Except for Jing Ke, the other three people succeeded, but the endings were tragic
China's history of more than 5,000 years has passed down countless stories, and countless ancient books have recorded many emperors, generals, capable people and extraordinary people. scholar. As mysterious killers, assassins have left a mark in history. The "Historical Records: Biography of Assassins" lists four major assassins and calls them "chivalrous men", although assassins assassinate some powerful people. Murderers, but most of them are determined to die for a greater ideal. This alone is very admirable.
Jing Ke
At that time, the national power situation of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period had become clear, and Qin had the ambition and strength to dominate the world. Then it will be possible for the six countries to continue to preserve the inheritance of the country for hundreds of years. However, Jing Ke's assassination operation ultimately failed. The reason for the failure was not only Ying Zheng's good fortune and Qin Wuyang's deception of his teammates, but also Jing Ke's own poor swordsmanship. In fact, Jing Ke was not a first-class swordsman at that time, and it was also true that he was not good at swordsmanship, so he could not kill with one blow, which led to the final tragic ending. Ying Zheng was also furious and stepped up the war to destroy the Yan Kingdom, and the main planner of the assassination, Prince Dan of Yan, died as a result. Therefore, although Jing Ke was brave, he did not complete the task well and could only be ranked at the bottom.
Jing Ke is the only one who failed among the four assassins, and he is also the most famous assassin.
Nie Zheng
By the way, this Nie Zheng is not a professional assassin. He is a pig-killer with extraordinary courage and dares to take on any job. Once, Yan Zhongzi, a Korean aristocrat, came to him and asked him to assassinate the Korean Prime Minister Guoxia Lei. At first, Nie Zheng refused because his mother was still alive at the time and he had a sister who was not yet married. He could not die! Later, until the death of his mother, Yan Zhongzi's son came to beg and say good things every day, and finally Nie Zheng was moved. After marrying off his sister, he followed Yan Zhongzi to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Nie Zheng was very skilled. He entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and followed him like a slaughterhouse. Dozens of guards were knocked down, and Xia started to run away when he was tired. Unfortunately, he ran away. Taishou was caught up by Nie Zheng, and he was stabbed with a long sword, which made his heart feel cold! In the end, Nie Zheng disfigured his face with a sword so that no one would recognize him for harming his sister, and finally wiped his neck. Such a kind and loyal assassin was quite qualified to be selected as one of the four assassins.
Yao Li
The best assassin in the world must be "Yao Li"! If he is second in the world, there will be no first. In order to meet the conditions to complete the mission, he used a lot of money to make a promise, and resorted to cruel tricks! The king of Wu was asked to kill his parents, wife and children and cut off his own arm. Even the person who was assassinated said in admiration before he died: You are a hero! Two heroes cannot die in one day, let him go. When he returned to the Kingdom of Wu and met the King of Wu, he only said one sentence: I am unfaithful and unfilial, so he drew his sword and killed himself. There cannot be another such a powerful, cold-blooded and determined assassin in the world.
Zuanzhu
Zhuanzhu is the luckiest among the four assassins. Zhuanzhu is a disciple of King Helu of Wu. King Helu of Wu has always wanted to kill him because of the issue of succession to the throne. King Liao of Wu died. After Zhuanzhu became his disciple, King Helu of Wu entertained Zhuanzhu with good wine and food every day, allowing Zhuanzhu to enjoy all the glory and wealth.
When King Wu came to visit, Zhuan Zhu hid a short sword in the belly of the fish. When the food was being served, he approached King Liao of Wu and took the opportunity to pull out the fish intestine sword and kill King Liao of Wu. Zhu Ye was killed by King Liao of Wu's bodyguards. After Zhuanzhu's death, Prince Guang granted Zhuanzhu's son the title of Shangqing. The assassination was carried out at the expense of his wealth and life because of Gongzi Guang's nine years of kindness to him. Although it can be called a heroic feat, this is exactly what Sima Qian said: "The behavior is not consistent with justice."
