Chen Ziang

The king of Qin has no way, and the prince has deep resentment.

Hearing Tian Guangyi, the dagger gave me a daughter.

Although it is not established, it has been sad for thousands of years.

When the pain of life was eager to find an outlet, Yan Taizi Dan chose the way of assassination.

In the Warring States period, with the battle of disputes as the background, Yan Taizi Dan was a fragile prince and grandson, but also a compassionate image. The turbulent and treacherous times have caused subtle and ambiguous relations among the vassal States. In order to make the other side feel uneasy, the two parties who reach a contract often take the other party's royal relatives as hostages, but even so, a prince like Dan who has been living in the shadow of "hostages" is a special case. As early as childhood, Taizi Dan was taken hostage by his father Yan to Zhao. Although the little prince still lives a luxurious life, what he lacks is freedom. Among the limited playmates, Taizi Dan met Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng was born in Zhao State and later ruled the country. At that time, the ignorant Taizi Dan didn't know the significance of being a political bargaining chip. He only knew that it was a very happy thing to go out and have someone to play with.

When Prince Taizi Dan returned to Yan State, he was already a young man with ideals. Immersed in a depressed context for a long time, Taizi Dan longed for freedom and dignity, and his time as a hostage in Zhao had become a shadow in his life. However, Yan took pains to send hostages. Before Prince Taizi Dan's welcome, before he could see the scenery of the old country and listen to Yan Di's music, he hurried to start a new hostage trip at the urging of his father. In Yan's view, the hostage is a sharp weapon of Yan's political diplomacy. Of course, this sharp weapon is not used to penetrate the other side's door, but a prerequisite for temporary peace. Obviously, this selfish father neglected his son's feelings. If Taizi Dan, who was a hostage when he was young, has not mastered the world, then when Taizi Dan is taken hostage again at an age when he could have made a difference, he can't bear the humiliation of life. What's more, this time he had to face none other than his childhood playmate Ying Zheng. Times have changed. Ying Zheng, the former sponsor, has long been the overlord, but he is no different from that year, and he is still a poor hostage. This is a huge psychological gap. Faced with such a gap, no one will breathe calmly; And any political diplomacy will only have eternal interests, not eternal friends. The childhood has long been replaced by the separation of monarch and minister. When Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, coldly set the date for his childhood playmate's return, poor Prince Dan felt that the last dignity left in his life was completely deprived. One dark night of a month, he fled back to Yan.

Back in Yan State, an urgent thought of Prince Taizi Dan was revenge, and the object of his revenge was Ying Zheng, who deprived him of his life dignity. In fact, psychological depression as a hostage has long been an underground fire accumulated by Taizi Dan for many years, and Ying Zheng at that time was more like a crater where this depression broke out. He rejected the combination of Lian Heng, a master and a martial artist, and chose a swordsman named Jing Ke to assassinate him. Prince Taizi Dan's kindness to this soldier can be described as doing everything possible. He "respected Jing Ke as Shangguan and gave up the palace. The prince asked questions for foreign objects every day, and occasionally got on the bus to ride a beautiful woman. Jing Ke did whatever he wanted to do to suit his wishes." ("The Warring States Policy and Strict Policy") The ritual corporal of Prince Taizi Dan has the style of Yan Zhaowang's ancestors. At that time, building tall buildings and recruiting wise men from all over the world brought Yan into its heyday. Now, in the face of the declining national situation, the prince who fled back can't wait to take a long-term view. He needs an outlet for eruption, and he needs a shortcut for revenge-assassination. This may be an almost crazy adventure, but isn't it a rebirth from the ashes?

In order to ensure the effect of this assassination, Jing Ke, as an assassin, asked Taizi Dan for two things, one was the map of Du Kang in Yan State, and the other was the head of Fan, commander-in-chief of Qin State, which were two stepping stones. In order to successfully stab Qin, Taizi Dan met the requirements of the hero, but at the same time he also advanced the time of stabbing Qin. Prince Dan, who has always been a hostage, wants to prove his value to the princes as soon as possible. When Jing Ke took a poisoned dagger to say goodbye to Prince Taizi Dan in Xiao 'an, Prince Taizi Dan suddenly tore off the cloth from the white mourning clothes and tied his forehead tightly. The prince knew that this would be an important gamble in his life. Once upon a time, he was always a gambling chip, and at this time, this former chip should be his own master. "Live with dignity." This is the most repeated sentence of Taizi Dan standing on the cold Yishui shore.

The result of stabbing Qin has always been a hot topic among historians of past dynasties. Num's ship didn't carry a victorious warrior, but it brought an unexpected and unexpected bad news. Jing Ke, who died, has become a righteous man in the eyes of future generations when he was chopped into a paste by the pool. As a gambler of this gambling, Taizi Dan faced the powerful Qin Jun who became angry from embarrassment. It's another escape and a tiring attack, but Taizi Dan, who still has some ideas about restoring the country, would never have thought of it anyway. In the end, it was not Qin Jun who committed suicide, but Prince Xi, the father who always regarded him as a trade. The good horse that snored like thunder was cut off by a big river, and then the soldiers of Yan fell down with swords, and the splashed head covered up all the regrets with a deep red color. The prince was glad to have a quiet life again, but this time was short after all. Five years later, Yan did not escape Qin Jun's hand.

Ceng Yun, Sima Guang: "yan dan can't overcome the anger of a dynasty and commit the Qin of the Tiger and the Wolf. He was careless and shallow, and he was so quick to criticize that the temple in Zhao Gong was not worshipped and ignored. This is a big sin! " Sima Guang, who provided a mirror for the son of heaven, would not know how the word "dignity" had troubled the life of the prince of Yan, nor would he know that the river that later became the death cave of Taizi Dan had a name-Taizi River, which has not been cut off until today. .
