Biographies of historical assassins
Author: Sima Qian in the Western Han Dynasty
Jing Ke, no one can defend anyone. The first is Qi people. Migrating to Wei, Wei people call it; And Yan, Yan people call it Jing Qing.
Jing Qing is good at reading and fencing. He says Wei is capable, but Wei is not. Later, the Qin Dynasty conquered Wei and moved to Dong Jun. The branch of Wei Yuanjun belonged to barbarian king.
Jing Ke tried to swim across Yuci and discuss the sword with Nie Gai, but Nie Gai was very angry. When Jing Ke went out, people called Jing Qing again. Nie Gai said, "I don't think I deserve this sword. I aim at it and try it. It is appropriate to go, but I dare not stay. " Jing Qing, the former owner, has driven to Yuci. The messenger returned, and Nie Gai said, "If you go, I will see it." Jing Ke traveled to Handan, Lugou Kenji argued with Jing Kebo. Gou Jian was very angry and scolded him, but Jing Ke ran away and never met again.
Jing Ke is not only Yan, but also a dog who loves Yan, Tu Youyou and Gao Jianli who are good at fighting and building. Jing Ke is a heavy drinker, drinking with Dog Tu and Gao Jianli in Yan City every day. In the past, I was drunk, and I saw the ceremony and struck Zhu, and Jing Ke was in harmony with the city. I cried, and no one saw it. Although Jing Ke was an alcoholic, he was a good reader, and all the princes he visited were related to his virtuous elders. Its swallow, Mr. Tian Guang, is also kind to it and knows that it is not mediocre.
Living in the Qing Dynasty, I died in Qin State and returned to Yan State. Yan Taizi Dan, so he tasted the quality of Zhao, and Qin was born in Zhao, and had fun with Dan when he was young. Moreover, the political system is the king of Qin and Dan is the quality of Qin. The experience of Qin Wang and Yan Taizi Dan was not good, so Dan died of anger. Those who seek to repay the king of Qin must not. Later, Qin and Japan sent troops to attack Qi, Chu and Sanjin in Shandong, and slightly invaded the governors. As for Yan. Yan is afraid of disaster. Taizi Dan suffered greatly from it and asked him about Fu Juwu. Wu Dui said, "Qin is all over the world, threatening the Zhao family of Han, Wei and Zhao. In the north, there is the power of Ganquan Valley, in the south, there is kindness to forgive Bahan, in the right, there is Shu Mountain, and in the left, there is danger to Guan Yu. The people are fierce and the soldiers are revolutionary. If it makes sense, south of the Great Wall and north of Xiaoshui are not fixed. Why criticize Ling's resentment? " Dan said, "But why?" Right: "Please enter the picture."
Living in a room, the general Fan of Qin offended the king of Qin, a swallow died and the prince was abandoned. Ju Wu remonstrated, saying, "No, my husband is angry with Yan because of the tyranny of the King of Qin, which is chilling. I know the general cares! It is said that hunger is also a road, and disasters will be weak. Although there is management, it cannot be done. May the prince send General Fan to Xiongnu to kill him, and invite him to join Sanjin in the west, Qi and Chu in the south and North, which will be profitable afterwards. " The prince said, "The teacher's plan has been worked out for a long time, and my heart is full of anxiety. I'm afraid I can't do it at the moment. Not alone. General Fu Fan was poor in the world and died in Dan. Dan didn't give up his poor friend because of Qiang Qin. Gu Erdan's time has come. May the teacher worry more. " Ju Wu said: husbands should seek safety in times of crisis and happiness in times of disaster. He is shallow and resentful, and makes friends when he meets someone, regardless of the great harm of the country. This is called blaming others for the disaster. My husband will be fine if he burns feathers on charcoal. Besides, it's not enough to complain about anger in lithography of the Qin Dynasty. Mr. Yan Youtian Guang is intelligent and brave, and can work with him. "The prince said," Can I give it to tian teacher? "Juwu said," keep your promise. "Come out to see Mr. Tian, Prince Tao is willing to pay a state visit to Mr.. Tian Guang said, "Teach them with respect. "This is a manufacturing problem. The prince greeted him, but acted as a guide and knelt down to cover his seat. Tian Guang sat down and there was no one around. The prince of Yan withdrew from the table and asked, "Yan and Qin don't agree. I hope you will pay attention." Tian Guang said, "I heard that Miracle was in its prime, flying thousands of miles a day, and retired first when he was old. Today, the prince is excited by the news. I don't know that the essence of the minister has disappeared. Although I dare not seek state affairs, I can make it good for Jing Qing. " The prince said, "Can you make friends with Jing Qing because of your husband?" Tian Guang said, "Keep your promise. As soon as he stood up and ran out, the prince saw him to the door and warned him, "What Dan reported and what your husband said are also important matters of the country." I hope your husband won't let it out. " Tian Guang leaned down and said with a smile, "promise. "When I saw Jing Qing, I said," I didn't know that light is good for children; Today, the prince heard about the splendor and wealth, but he didn't know that I was out of shape. Fortunately, what he taught me was,' Yan Qin won't give in, I hope you will pay attention.' I didn't steal it from the outside, but I said it was enough for the prince. I wish I could cross the prince in the palace. "Jing Ke said," I really hope to teach you. " Tian Guang said, "I heard that the elders acted according to their own wishes, so people don't doubt it. Today, the prince said to Guang,' Please don't reveal what he said about state affairs'. This is the prince's suspicion. A husband suspects that his behavior is not chivalrous. " He wanted to commit suicide to stimulate Jing Qing, saying, "I wish I could be more anxious than the prince, saying that I am dead, and I won't make it clear. "Died of suicide.
Jing Ke then saw the prince, saying that Tian Guang was dead, and made a statement. The prince bowed down again and cried on his knees. After a while, he said, "Dan, so he warned Mr. Tian not to say anything. He wanted to achieve great things." Mr. Imada said nothing when he died. How thoughtful! "Jing Ke sat down, the prince bowed from the table and said," Mr. Tian didn't know the evil deeds of Dan, so he dared to do something. The reason why he mourns Yan today is not to abandon his loneliness. Today's Qin is greedy for profit, but he can't satisfy his desire. He is the king of the world and never gets tired of his intentions. Today, Qin has captured the King of Korea, captured his land, and sent troops to attack Chu in the south and confront Zhao in the north. Wang Jian divided hundreds of thousands of troops in Zhangzhou and Cao Zhen, and Li Xin went out of Taiyuan and Yunzhong. If Qin is not supported, he will become a minister. If he becomes a minister, it will be a disaster. Yan is small and weak, and the number is trapped in the soldiers. Today, the whole country is not enough to be A Qin. The ministers served Qin and dared not follow. Dan's private plan foolishly thought that he would win the warriors in the world sincerely, so that he could benefit the state of Qin, and the king of Qin was insatiable and would get what he wanted. Sincerely grab the king of Qin and make it clear that the princes invaded the land. It would be great if Cao Mo and Qi Huangong were together. You can't, so kill it. General Peter is a good soldier outside Qin, civil strife, and the monarch and his subjects are suspicious; In the meantime, the governors have to cooperate and will break the Qin Dynasty. This Dan is willing, but he doesn't know what he has been entrusted with. Only Jing Qing pays attention to it. "After a long time, Jing Ke said," Things in this country are also important. I am afraid it is not enough for me. " The prince nodded in front of him and told him not to give up, and then agreed. So Jing Ke was honored as a senior official, and he gave up his house. The prince builds a door every day, which is too tight for him. With a foreign body, he got on the bus and rode on a beautiful woman. Jing Ke did whatever he wanted to do to meet his wishes.
For a long time, Jing Ke did nothing. Wang Jian, the general of the Qin Dynasty, defeated Zhao, captured the king of Zhao and occupied his land. He moved slightly north to the southern border of Yan. When Taizi Dan was afraid, he asked Jing Ke, "Qin Bing crossed Yishui at dusk, but he had to wait on it for a long time. How can he get it?" Jing Ke said, "Wang Wei said I want to praise him. If I don't believe him when I go today, Qin will not be kind. General Fu Fan, the king of Qin, bought thousands of gold and thousands of cities. I sincerely took the map of General Fan's head and Governor Yan Kang and dedicated it to the King of Qin. The king of Qin will say that when he meets the minister, he will be rewarded. " The prince said, "General Fan came to Dan when he was poor. Dan can't bear to hurt his elders with his own selfish interests. I am willing to worry more. " Knowing that the Prince could not bear it, Jing Ke met Fan privately, saying, "The encounter between Qin and the general is deep, and both parents and clans are dead. Now, I heard that I bought the general's first gold and thousands of family members. What would I do? " Looking up at the sky at the end of the term is so reassuring. I cried and said, "Every time I read the final term, it often hurts my bone marrow and I don't know what to say." Jing Ke said, "There is a saying that can solve the problems of Yan State today. What about those who avenge the general? " Before the deadline, he said, "Why?" Jing Ke said, "May the general present his head to the King of Qin, who will be pleased to meet the minister. I put my sleeves in my left hand and my chest in my right hand; But the general's revenge has been reported, and Yan Jianling's shame has been removed. Is the general interested? " Fan said, "I grind my teeth day and night. It's time to study. " Then I killed myself. Hearing this, the prince jumped on the body and cried, feeling extremely sad. Since there is no choice, that is the first letter from Fan.
So the prince asked the world for a dagger, got Mrs. Zhao's dagger, and took away one hundred gold. Let the workers use drugs to test people. Blood is dripping and everyone is dead. Pretending to send Jing Qing. Qin Wuyang, a warrior of the State of Yan, killed a man at the age of thirteen, but people dare not look down upon him, so Qin Wuyang became his deputy. Jing Ke has something to do and wants to be with the world; He lived far away in the future, but he didn't make a fortune for governance. The prince was late, and he suspected that he had gone back on his word. He asked again, "The days are over. Is Jing Qing interested? " Dan has to find Qin Wuyang first. "Jing Ke angrily rebuked the prince and said," What did the prince send? People who have no hesitation will stand straight. And carrying a dagger, stabbed the unexpected Qiang Qin. Therefore, the servant stayed and treated my guests with everything. The prince is late today, so please resign. "So. Both the prince and the guests who knew about it received white gifts. On the top of Xiao, the ancestors took the road, struck the floor with lofty ideas, and Jing Ke chimed. All the scholars cried in order to change their voices. He sang in front of him: "the wind is rustling and the water is cold;" A strong man is gone forever. "After the feather generous, people dumbfounded, crown. So Jing Ke took the car and left it alone.
When he arrived in Qin, he left Meng Jia, the son of Qin's favorite minister, with money and things worth 1000 dollars. Wei Jia first said to the king of Qin: "The prince of Qin is really threatening the king of Qin, but he dare not take the transfer of troops as an official to confront the army. He hoped that the whole country would be ministers of the interior, ranking among princes and paying tribute as counties, so that he could guard the ancestral temple of the former king. Dare not confess, willing to behead Fan, present a map of Yan Du Kang and seal a letter. The prince bowed to the court and sent it to the envoy to listen to the king. Only the king ordered it. " When the king of Qin heard this, he was overjoyed, so he put on his royal clothes and set up nine guests to welcome Yan to Xianyang Palace. Jing Ke sent a letter from Fan, while Qin Wuyang sent a map box. When he arrived at the official position, Qin Wuyang was frightened and the ministers complained. Jing Ke laughed and danced in the sun. After thanking him, he said, "I have never seen the son of heaven, so I am shocked. I hope your majesty will borrow less and be better. " King Qin said, "Take the map held by Wuyang." I play with the picture, and the king of Qin sends the picture. When the picture was poor, I saw the dagger. Because my left hand holds the sleeve of the king of Qin and my right hand holds the dagger. Before he reached the body, the king of Qin was surprised and took off his sleeves from the beginning. Draw a sword, the sword is long, and fuck its room; In a hurry, the sword is tied and can't be pulled out. Jing Ke chased the king of Qin, who walked around the column. All the ministers were ashamed, shocked when they died, and lost their degrees. And Qin law: ministers of the last dynasty were not allowed to hold large or small soldiers, and the commanders were all Your Highness Chen, and they were not allowed to enter unless summoned. When the party is in a hurry, it is better to call for soldiers. So Jing Ke was chasing the king of Qin, but he was in a hurry and couldn't beat him, so he hit him with his hand. In due course, he attended the doctor Xia Wuqie and presented Jing Ke with his medicine bag. The king of Qin walked around the column, but he was in a hurry and didn't know what to do. He said to the left and right, "The king has a sword." Negative sword, then pull, in order to hit Jing Ke, break its left shares. When Jing Ke abandoned it, he threw a dagger at the king of Qin, but missed, hitting the bronze column. The king of Qin hit caves again, and eight caves were hit. When he knew something was wrong, he leaned against the post and smiled. He stood on his head and scolded him: "If you want to rob him, you must make a contract to report it to the prince." So the king of Qin was unhappy about being killed before. Some people say that honoring a minister is different from sitting down. They cut Xia Wu 200 gold and said, "If you don't love me, please mention Jing Ke and the medicine bag."
So the king of Qin was furious, and the soldiers became more loyal to Zhao and ordered Wang Jianjun to attack Yan. In October, Yan and Taizi Dan tried their best to protect their elite soldiers in Liaodong. Li Xin, the general of the Qin Dynasty, was eager to chase the prince. He left a happy letter to the prince on behalf of Wang Jia, saying: "Qin was particularly anxious to chase the prince, so it was also because of Taizi Dan." Now that Wang Cheng has killed Dan Xian, the king of Qin will be freed, and the country is fortunate to have blood and food. " Later, Li Xin chased Dan and Dan hid in the water; The prince of Yan is the messenger who beheaded Taizi Dan and wanted to offer Qin; Fu Qin invaded and attacked it. Five years later, Qin died and was overjoyed. Next year, Qin will merge with the world and be named emperor. So the Qin Dynasty banished the guests of Taizi Dan and Jing Ke, and they all died. Gao Jianli changed his name and surname, which became the secret of Song Zi. I have been suffering for a long time. As soon as I heard that the guests at home were under construction, I couldn't go. Every time I say anything, I say "there are good and bad." The follower told his master, "Bi Yong is a confidant and tells right and wrong in secret." The adults called envoys, knocked on the floor and sat down, saying yes and giving wine. But when Gao Jianli studied for a long time and was afraid of infinity, he flinched and built his good clothes in his box to make him look better. All the guests sat down in surprise. They resisted the ceremony and thought they were guests. Let them sing and sing, and all the guests would leave with tears. Pine nuts pass it on to the guests. I heard about Qin Shihuang, and Qin Shihuang summoned me. A man of insight said, "Good advice and courtesy." The Qin emperor cherished his kindness and built it by striking, but it was avoided. It is because of his eyes that he fought and built, saying that he is good is not bad, but a little closer. Gao Jianli is made of lead, and he is near. He built a building to attack Qin Shihuang, but missed it. Therefore, Gao Jianli was punished, and he was no longer close to the princes for life.
When Lu heard that Jing Ke stabbed the king of Qin, he said to himself, "Oh, I'm sorry, he can't stab the sword! What a pity! I don't know anyone! When I scold him, he treats me as inhuman. "
Taishi Gong said: It's not too much to talk about Jing Ke, calling him the life of Taizi Dan. "When the sun falls, the horse makes a beautiful baby.". And Jing Ke hurt the king of Qin, all is not also. At the beginning, Gong, Dong Sheng, and Xia Wuqie all knew about it when they traveled, which is what Yu Dao did. From Cao Mo to Jing Ke, five people, this idea may or may not be successful, but its conception is more natural, not deceiving its ambition, and it will be famous for future generations. What a mistake!
Second, translation.
Jing Ke was a patriotic man, and his ancestors were Qi people. Later, he moved to Weiguo, and the Weiguo people called him Qingqing. When he arrived in the State of Yan, people in the State of Yan called him Jing Qing.
Love reading and fencing, and used fencing to lobby Wei. Wei did not appoint him. Since then, Qin attacked Wei, established Dongjun, and moved Wei's collateral relatives to the wild king.
Jing Ke strolls in Yuci and talks with Nie Gai about fencing. Nie Gai glared at him. After Jing Ke went out, it was suggested that Nie Gai call Jing Ke back again. Nie Gai said, "I just talked to him about fencing, and he talked about something inappropriate. I stared at him with my eyes; Go and find it. I stared at him. He should go and dare not stay here any longer. "Send someone to Jing Ke residence to ask the landlord, Jing Ke has left Yuci by bus. When the dispatched personnel came back to report, Nie Gai said, "It's time to leave. I just stared at him, and he was scared. "
Jing Ke roamed Handan, and Kenji Lugou argued with Jing Ke about how many ways to play the Expo. Lu Gou Kenji angrily reprimanded him, but Jing Ke ran away silently and never met again.
When Jing Ke arrived in Yan State, he fell in love with a dog killer and a gift for fighting and building. Jing Ke is particularly fond of drinking. He drinks with the butcher who killed the dog and Gao Jianli in Yan market every day. Drunk, Gao Jianli beat the floor, Jing Ke sang in the street with the beat festival, entertained each other, and then cried to each other, no one was watching. Although Jing Ke is mixed with drunkards, he is deep and steady, and likes reading. Every vassal state he visited made friends with local sages, heroes and respected people. After he arrived in Yan State, Mr. Tian Guang, a hermit of Yan State, also treated him very well, knowing that he was not a mediocrity.
Soon after, Yan Taizi Dan, who happened to be a hostage in Qin State, fled back to Yan State. Yan Taizi Dan was once a hostage of Zhao, and Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, was born in Zhao. When I was a teenager, I was closely related to Taizi Dan. When Ying Zheng was the king of Qin, Taizi Dan went to the State of Qin as a hostage. The king of Qin was unfriendly to the prince, who fled home because of resentment. When he came back, he wanted to take revenge on the king of Qin. Yan is very weak, beyond her power. Since then, Qin has sent troops to Shandong every day, attacking Qi, Chu and Sanjin, and gradually devouring the country like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves. The war will spread to the state of Yan, and all the princes and ministers of Yan are afraid of catastrophe. Taizidan was very worried about this, so he went to ask his teacher Ju Wu. Ju Wu replied, "The land of Qin is all over the world, threatening Korea, Wei and Zhao. There are Ganquan and Gukou in the north, fertile fields in the Jinghe and Weishui river basins in the south, rich Baxian and Hanzhong areas, with Longshu Mountain as the barrier on the right and Yaoshan and Hanguguan as the fortress on the left. It has a large population, well-trained soldiers and more than enough weapons and equipment. If there is an intention to expand outward, there will be no safe place south of the Great Wall or north of Yishui. Why touch the lamella of the king of Qin because of the resentment of being bullied? " Prince Taizi Dan said, "In that case, what should we do?" Ju Wu replied, "Let me think it over."
After a while, Fan, the general of the Qin Dynasty, offended and fled to the State of Yan. The prince accepted him and let him live. Ju Wu advised: "No, the king of Qin is cruel, and he has been bitter in Yan for a long time, which is enough to make people tremble with fear, what's more, he heard that General Fan lives here. This is called' putting meat on the road where the hungry tiger passes', and the disaster must be irreversible! Even with Guan Zhong and Yan Ying, I can't persuade you. I hope you can send General Fan to Xiongnu as soon as possible to eliminate the excuse that Qin attacked us. Please make an alliance with Sanjin in the west, contact Qi and Chu in the south, and make peace with Khan in the north, and you can figure out a way to deal with Qin. " Taizidan said: "The teacher's plan takes too long, and I feel depressed. I'm afraid I can't wait a moment. " Besides, it's not just this reason that General Fan defected to me because of the chaos in the world. I can't abandon my sympathetic friend because of the tyrannical state of Qin and send him to Xiongnu. This should be the end of my life. I hope the teacher will consider other ways. "Ju Wu said:" Choosing dangerous actions is to seek safety, create disasters and pray for happiness. The plan is superficial and disgusting. In order to make a new friend, regardless of the country's great disaster, this is the so-called' salvation'. Put goose feathers on charcoal and it will burn immediately. What's more, Qin, as fierce as a vulture, vented hatred and cruel anger against Yan. Do you need to say it? There is a Mr. Tian Guang in Yan State. He is resourceful, brave and calm. You can discuss with him. "The prince said," I hope to make friends with Mr. Tian through my teacher, can I? "Ju wu said," yes. Juwu came out to see Mr. Tian and said, "Your Majesty wants to discuss state affairs with Mr. Tian." . Tian Guang said, "I want to learn." . "I went to visit the prince.
The prince stepped forward to meet Tian Guang, led the way backwards, knelt down to wipe the seat and let Tian Guang sit down. After Tian Guang sat firmly, there was no one else around. The prince left the table and asked Tian Guang, "Yan and Qin became sworn friends. I hope you pay attention. " Tian Guang said, "I heard that when Miracle is strong, he can run thousands of miles a day. When he is old, even inferior horses can run ahead of him. Now the prince has only heard about my prime of life, but he doesn't know that my energy has failed. Even so, I can't plan state affairs without authorization. My good friend Jing Qing can undertake this mission. " The prince said, "I hope to make friends with Jing Qing through my husband, can I?" Tian Guang said, "Yes." So he got up at once and hurried out. The prince saw him to the door and warned, "What I said, what Mr. Wang said, is a national event. I hope Mr. Wang will not reveal it! " Tian Guang bowed down and smiled, "Yes." Tian Guang bent down to see Jing Qing and said, "You and I are very close. Everyone in Yan State knows it. Now the prince has heard about my prime of life, but he doesn't know that my body is exhausted. I was honored to listen to his teachings and said,' Yan and Qin swore an oath to each other. I hope you can pay attention. I haven't met you personally, but I recommended you to the prince. I hope you can visit the prince in the palace. Jing Ke said, "I want to learn." "Tian Guang said," I heard that an old man should not be suspected by others. Now the prince has warned me:' I'm talking about national affairs, I hope you won't reveal it'. This is because the prince suspects me. A person who acts but makes others doubt him is not an upright and loyal person. He tried to motivate Jing Qing by committing suicide, saying, "I hope you can meet the prince at once and tell him that I am dead, which shows that I won't reveal the secret. "So he choked to death.
Jing Ke then went to see the prince and told him that Tian Guang was dead, and conveyed Tian Guang's words. The prince knelt down, made two obeisances, and went to his knees and wept bitterly. After a while, he said, "I warned tian teacher not to talk, because I wanted to make the plan of the major event successful. Now Mr. Tian uses death to show that he won't tell. Is it my original intention? " Jing Ke sat down, and the prince left to kowtow, saying, "Mr. Tian didn't know I wasn't motivated, so he came to see you and said without hesitation. This is God's pity and will not abandon me. Now the king of Qin has greedy ambitions, and his desires will not be satisfied. His ambition will not be satisfied until he occupies all the land in the world and makes the kings of all countries submit to him. Now the state of Qin has captured Hanwang and occupied all his territory. He sent troops to attack Chu in the south and Zhao in the north; Wang Jianling led hundreds of thousands of troops to Zhangshui and Yexian, and Li Xin sent troops to Taiyuan and Yunzhong. Zhao Can can't resist, but will definitely submit to Qin; When Zhao surrendered, disaster would befall Yan. Yan is weak and has been plagued by war for many times. Now it is estimated that mobilizing the whole country's strength can't resist Qin Jun, and the vassals are afraid of Qin, and no one dares to advocate the policy of integration. I have an immature plan privately, thinking that if we can really get all the warriors in the world to the state of Qin and lure the king of Qin with usury, the king of Qin will be insatiable, and the situation will certainly achieve our wishes. If only we could hijack the king of Qin and let him return all the land occupied by other countries, just like Cao Mo hijacked Qi Huangong; If not, kill him when you can. Their generals in the state of Qin monopolize military power abroad, but there are difficulties at home, and the monarch and his subjects are suspicious of each other. Take this opportunity, the eastern countries can unite and will certainly defeat Qin. This is my highest wish, but I don't know who to entrust this mission to. I hope that Jing Qing will seriously consider this matter. " After a long time, Jing Ke said: "This is a national event. I am not qualified for it because of my poor talent." The prince stepped forward and banged his head on the ground, insisting not to dodge, and then Jing Ke agreed.
At that time, the prince addressed Jing Qing as Shangqing and stayed in a high-class hotel. The prince goes to Jing Ke's residence every day. Providing expensive food and giving exotic things from time to time, let Jing Ke do whatever he wants to satisfy his wishes.
After a long time, Jing Ke still showed no signs of action. At this time, the Qin general Wang Jian had already breached the capital of Zhao, captured the king of Zhao, and incorporated all the territory of Zhao into the territory of Qin. The army advanced and seized the land in the north until the southern border of Yan State. Prince Taizi Dan was afraid, so he asked Jing Ke to say, "Qin Jun will cross Yishui sooner or later. At that time, even if I want to wait on you for a long time, how can I! " Jing Ke said, "Even if the Prince doesn't say anything, I will ask for action. Now go to the state of Qin, and if nothing can convince the king of Qin, then the king of Qin can't get close. General Fan of the King of Qin offered a reward of 1,000 kilograms of gold, and thousands of households bought his head. If I really get the head of General Fan and the map of Governor Yan, I will give it to the King of Qin, who will be very happy to see me, so that I can have a chance to work for you. " The prince said, "General Fan only came to see me at the end of the road. I can't bear to hurt my elders' hearts for my own benefit. I hope you will consider other ways! "
Knowing that the prince could not bear it, Jing Ke met Fan privately and said, "Qin was cruel to the general, and his parents and family were killed. Now I hear that you will buy the general's head for 1000 pounds of gold. What are you going to do? " Looking at the future sky, I sighed and cried, "Every time I think about it, it hurts my bones, but I can't think of a way!" " Jing Ke said, "Now there is a saying that can relieve the evil of Yan State and clear the general's hatred. How's it going? "I leaned forward and said," what should I do? "Jing Ke said," I hope to get the general's head and dedicate it to the king of Qin. Of course, the king of Qin will be happy to summon me. I will grab his sleeve with my left hand and stab him in the chest with my right hand. Then the general's hatred can be washed away, and Yan's humiliation can be washed away. Does the general have this intention? " Van Yuqi took off one sleeve, showing his arm, and held the other wrist tightly with one hand. He approached Jing Ke and said, "This is my hatred of gnashing my teeth day and night, and I just heard your teachings today! "So he committed suicide. When the prince heard the news, he drove a Mercedes-Benz and cried on the car body, which was extremely sad. There was no way to recover, so I put Fan's head in a box and sealed it.
At that time, the prince had found the sharpest dagger in the world in advance, and found the dagger of Mrs. Zhao Renxu, and spent one hundred gold to buy it, so that craftsmen could quench it with poisonous water and try it with people. As long as they see a trace of blood, no one will die immediately. So he's going to pack up and send Jing Ke off. Qin Wuyang, a warrior of the State of Yan, killed at the age of thirteen, and no one dared to face it. So he sent Qin Wuyang as his assistant. Jing Ke is waiting for someone and intends to start together; The man lives far away and hasn't arrived yet. Jing Ke has prepared luggage for him. A few days later, Jing Ke hasn't set out yet. The prince thought he was stalling, suspected that he had broken his word, and advised, "The days are numbered. Does Jing Qing have any plans to leave? " Please allow me to send Qin Wuyang first. Jing Ke was angry and rebuked the prince, saying, "What does the prince mean by sending it like this? You are a worthless boy who only cares about going and coming back regardless of completing the task! Besides, he entered the unpredictable and violent state of Qin with a dagger. The reason why I stayed was to wait for another friend to go with me. At present, the prince thinks I have delayed the time, so let's leave and say goodbye! "So I set out.
The prince and the guests who knew about it all wore white clothes and white hats to see Jing Ke off. On the shore of Yishui, after the farewell party, on the road, the high-minded ceremony struck the floor, and Jing Ke sang in tune with the high-five festival, giving off a desolate and sad tone. All the people who saw me off cried and sang as they walked: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone forever!" After another impassioned tone, the people who saw me off glared, their hair was straight and their hats were propped up. So Jing Ke got on the bus and left, never looking back. When he arrived in the state of Qin, Jing Ke brought a gift worth 1000 dollars to Meng Jia, the son of the king of Qin's favorite. Jing Ke, the representative of Meng Jia, said in front of the king of Qin: "The prince of Yan was really frightened by the majesty of the king of Qin and did not dare to send troops to resist the soldiers of Qin. He would rather be a vassal of the State of Qin from all over the country, rank among them according to other vassal States, and pay taxes like counties directly under him, so as to keep the ancestral hall of the first king. " I dare not make a statement in person because I am afraid. Today, I beheaded Fan, presented a map of Du Kang in Yan State, and sealed it in a box. The prince also held a farewell ceremony in the imperial court and sent envoys to inform the king of this situation. Please indicate. "The king of Qin was very happy to hear the news, so he put on his dress, arranged a grand ceremony for nine guests in diplomacy, and summoned the envoys of Yan State in Xianyang Palace. Jing Ke holding fan's head, Qin Wuyang holding a map box, according to the order of the ambassador agreement, walked to the front steps of the temple, Qin Wuyang face mutation, trembling, ministers were shocked. Jing Ke smiled back at Qin Wuyang and came forward to apologize: "The barbarians in the north have never seen the son of heaven, so they are terrified. I hope the king will be tolerant of him and let him complete his mission in front of the king. " The king of Qin said to Jing Ke, "Pass me the map that Wuyang took." Jing Ke took the map and presented it. The king of Qin unfolded the map, the scroll was displayed at the end, and the dagger was exposed. Jing Ke grabbed the sleeve of the king of Qin with his left hand and stabbed him with a dagger with his right hand. The king of Qin was scared before he got close, so he jumped out and broke his sleeves. Draw your sword quickly. It's very long. Just grab the scabbard. At that time, I was in a panic and anxious, and the sword was wrapped tightly, so I couldn't pull it out at once. Jing Ke chased the king of Qin, who ran around the column. The ministers were dumbfounded, and suddenly something unexpected happened, and everyone lost their normal state. According to the laws of Qin State, ministers attending temple fairs are not allowed to carry any weapons. Guards and military attaché s can only guard outside the temple in order with weapons, and are not allowed to enter the temple without the emperor's order. At the critical moment, it was too late to call the guards and soldiers below, so Jing Ke was able to catch up with the king of Qin. The feeling be nasty under, no weapons against Jing Ke, had to hit Jing Ke with his bare hands.
At this time, the medical officer Xia Wuqie threw his medicine bag at Jing Ke. Just as the king of Qin was circling around the pillar, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. The attendant shouted, "Your Majesty, push the sword behind your back!" The King of Qin pushed the sword behind his back, then drew it and attacked Jing Ke, cutting off his left leg. Jing Ke was disabled, so he raised his dagger and stabbed the king of Qin directly. He missed, but hit the copper pillar. The king of Qin attacked Jing Ke one after another, and Jing Ke was stabbed in eight places. Knowing that great things can't be accomplished, Jing Ke leans on the pillar and smiles. He spread his legs and sat on the ground like a dustpan, cursing, "The great event failed because I wanted to capture you alive and force you to conclude a contract to return the vassal's land to the prince." Then the guards rushed to kill Jing Ke, and the king of Qin was unhappy for a long time.
After judging the merits and demerits, there will be a difference between rewarding ministers and dealing with offending officials. Give Xia Wu' e 220 gold and say, "If you don't love me, beat Jing Ke with a medicine bag."
So the king of Qin was furious, sent more troops to Zhao, ordered Wang Jian's army to attack Yan, and occupied Ji Cheng in October. Yan and Taizi Dan led all elite troops to retreat eastward to Liaodong. Li Xin, the general of Qin Dynasty, followed the prince closely, and wrote to the prince on behalf of Wang Jia, saying, "The reason why Qin Jun was particularly anxious to follow the prince was because of Prince Taizi Dan. Now if you kill Taizi Dan and give his head to the king of Qin, you will be forgiven by the king of Qin, and the country may be lucky enough to get a sacrifice. " After that, Li Xin led an army to pursue Taizi Dan, who was hidden in the Yanshui River. The prince sent an emissary to kill Taizi Dan and prepare to dedicate his head to the king of Qin. The king of Qin sent troops to attack the state of Yan. In the next five years, the state of Qin finally wiped out the state of Yan and captured it.
In the second year, the king of Qin annexed the world and proclaimed himself emperor. So they wanted Taizi Dan and Jing Ke's minions, and they all fled. Gao Jianli changed his name and surname and became a bartender, hiding in pine nuts. After a long time, I feel very tired, and I can't bear to leave when I hear a guest knocking at my host's door. I often open my mouth and say, "The tone of that building has both good and bad places." The waiter told the host what Gao Jianli had said, saying, "That mediocre man knows music, but it is wrong to say it privately." The host asked Gao Jianli to hit the floor in front of the hall. All the guests said that he played well and gave him wine to drink. Considering that he had been anonymous for a long time and his fear was endless, Gao Jianli came down from the hall, took out his own building and clothes from his suitcase, modified it and had a facelift, and came to the front of the hall. The full house was very surprised, and they left their seats one after another and received him with the same courtesy, treating him as a guest of honor. Invited him to sing on the floor, all the guests left without being moved to tears. People in Songzi town invited him to be a guest in turn, and the news was heard by Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang summoned him. Everyone who knew him said, "This is Gao Jianli." Qin Shihuang pitied him for being good at striking buildings, and especially pardoned his death penalty. So Kaoru blinded him and made him attack the building. There is no time when he refuses. Approaching Qin Shihuang. Gao Jianli put lead in the building. When he entered the palace and hit the building, he hit Qin Shihuang, but missed. So Qin Shihuang killed Gao Jianli. Never dare to approach the people of the six former eastern countries again.
Hearing about Jing Ke's assassination of the king of Qin, Lu said privately, "Alas! It's a pity that he doesn't pay attention to the skill of stabbing swords. I don't know this man very well! I yelled at him before and he thought I was not a fellow traveler. "
Tai Shigong said: When people talk about Jing Ke and the fate of Prince Taizi Dan, they say, "It rains like a grain, and the horse's head has horns!" This is too much. It is not true that Jing Ke stabbed the king of Qin. Gongsun Jigong, Dong Sheng and Xia Wuqie all knew about it when they made friends. What they told me is the same as what I recorded. From Cao Mo to Jing Ke, some of their chivalrous actions were successful and some were unsuccessful, but their ambitions and intentions were clear and clear, and they did not violate their conscience. Is this illusory?
