Chapter 563: Assassinate Qin! Assassinate Qin! ( words, including extra monthly tickets for New Year's Day~ Please vote for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month~)
It was a nice, cloudless day, and the warm sunshine dispelled the chill of early spring.
Jing Ke lowered his eyes, but deep in his eyes there was infinite firmness and determination.
As the chief envoy, Jing Ke took the lead and strode forward.
Qin Wuyang held the exquisite box and followed closely on his right. Originally, this weight was nothing to him, but now he felt it was extremely heavy.
As he got closer to the Xianyang Palace, Qin Wuyang felt heavier and heavier.
He wasn't as courageous as he thought.
He had killed someone at the age of thirteen and thought it was a heroic act. However, in the Qin State, whether civil or military, killing people was as common as eating and drinking.
Until he saw the majestic, magnificent and extremely majestic Xianyang Palace, Qin Wuyang's pupils dilated uncontrollably and beads of cold sweat the size of beans broke out from his forehead.
The Xianyang Palace was not a cold and bitter place, and it could not be compared to the small Yan State Palace.
I feel so insignificant in front of the Xianyang Palace and the Qin State.
However, neither the State of Yan nor his family could give him any sense of security.
Now, the leader Jing Ke in front of him and the hundreds of followers carrying gifts behind him could not give him a single sense of security.
Jing Ke keenly noticed Qin Wuyang's abnormality, sighed in his heart, and whispered: "Calm down."
Qin Wuyang managed to calm down, but only a little.
By the time the Yan State delegation arrived at the Xianyang Palace gate, it was already dawn.
Naturally, the entourage of the Yan State delegation was not allowed to enter. The gifts they carried were checked and then handed over to the eunuchs to be taken into the palace.
Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang, the chief and deputy envoys, were also searched and everything was fine.
Until you open the box containing the map and check it.
Qin Wuyang held the box, his face pale, and he was at a loss. Jing Ke was quick, stepped forward with a smile, and said softly: "You are from a small place, young people have never seen the world. The Qin Dynasty is mighty and majestic, and the palace is majestic and magnificent. You don't even remember the etiquette."
Jing Ke took the box and opened it naturally, revealing the map he was going to present. The perfectly rolled up golden paper shone faintly in the sunlight. The brocade ribbon woven with gold thread was lightly tied in the middle of the map scroll, forming a flower.
Sure enough, the secret guard who wanted to check hesitated and didn't dare to touch it.
After hesitating for a moment, he hurried to ask his superior.
The ones who were in charge of the palace guards and receiving the Yan envoy today were Wei Wei Cheng and a Tian Zi level secret guard from Xuan Yu Wei. The two men took a look at him but didn't dare to touch him.
The map is a special thing. It is framed so well that the king must open it personally.
Now the envoy from Yan is about to come to the emperor for an audience. We have to open it and tie it up again. This is such precious paper and it is prepared so well. What if we get it messed up?
The two men retreated to the side and discussed it for a while but still could not make up their minds. Just when they were thinking about asking their superiors for further instructions, a secret guard of the Xuanyu Guard quietly passed on a message.
Qin Wuyang, who was waiting on the side, had already become dry-mouthed, his limbs stiff, and his hands tightly grasped the cuffs of his inner shirt.
Even Jing Ke's heartbeat quickened, but his expression remained calm, as if nothing had happened. He even smiled and nodded to the people around him from time to time.
When the Weiwei Cheng and the Tianzi-level secret guards came over, Jing Ke saw that one of them was holding a large piece of magnet in his hand, and he felt relieved.
Qin Wuyang's heart, which was about to jump out of his chest, finally calmed down.
Sure enough, the two of them just passed the magnet up and down the box, and there was no reaction, so they passed it directly.
Jing Ke closed the box and Qin Wuyang held it, and the two of them walked into the Xianyang Palace, one in front and one behind, led by the eunuchs.
After entering the Xianyang Palace, the solemn and murderous atmosphere made Qin Wuyang even more frightened.
The Qin warriors in black clothes and dark armor stood on both sides, staring at the two men with sharp eyes. The uncontrollable sharpness and murderous intent in each of them even made the air filled with the smell of blood.
Jing Ke could still remain calm, but Qin Wuyang could not remain indifferent under this terrible pressure. He now felt his steps were extremely heavy when he walked, and his legs were even a little weak.
It was not until he arrived in front of Zhangtai Palace in this depressing and terrifying atmosphere that Qin Wuyang looked up at the Zhangtai Palace, which he could not even see the top of. He swallowed with all his strength, but there was nothing. Not even a drop of water was left in his mouth, which had already dried up.
Jing Ke took a deep breath, exhaled slowly and leisurely, and said to Qin Wuyang calmly: "Let's go, this is a serious matter, don't lose your manners in front of the emperor."
Jing Ke's indifferent tone and eyes gave Qin Wuyang a little courage, but only a little, barely enough for him to muster up the courage to climb up.
By the time the two finally arrived in front of Zhangtai Palace, Qin Wuyang was already sweating profusely, with cold sweat soaking his back.
Jing Ke also took two deep breaths before he returned to normal.
The two waited for a while, and then the eunuch summoned Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang to come for an audience.
As soon as the two of them stepped into the hall, in an instant, all the civil and military officials on both sides of the hall looked at them!
The gazes of the powerful ministers in the Qin court are far from comparable to those of the Qin warriors.
Moreover, there were masters guarding in secret, staring at him with vigilant and sharp eyes. Jing Ke even keenly sensed several malicious gazes.
From high above, they were looked at with scrutinizing eyes. The two were examined from head to toe by dozens of extremely sharp gazes.
Jing Ke couldn't help but pursed his lips. As for Qin Wuyang, he could hardly stand.
Qin Wuyang's legs were already trembling, and his limbs were shaking uncontrollably. There was no trace of blood on his originally square face, his lips were pale and dry, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping from his forehead.
Although the majesty of the Qin Dynasty was very terrifying, an ordinary timid person would not be so frightened. However, Qin Wuyang had a guilty conscience. When he thought about what he was going to do, he was frightened and at a loss, his thoughts in a mess.
Qin Wuyang finally followed Jing Ke into the hall, followed closely, and bowed and saluted: "The foreign minister Jing Qing (Qin Wuyang) pays homage to the king. May the king be blessed with good health."
Jing Ke's voice was normal, but Qin Wuyang's voice was trembling.
"Flat body."
Ying Zheng's lofty voice came, echoing in the hall.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jing Ke stood up, lowered his eyebrows and looked respectful, half-bent his body, only slightly lowered his head, and looked at the floor.
Qin Wuyang, he couldn't get up and was still lying on the ground.
Zhong Cang narrowed his eyes and scolded, "Why is the deputy envoy so disrespectful in front of the palace? What does this mean?"
Jing Ke hurriedly bowed to Ying Zheng, and then bowed to Zhong Cang to apologize: "Please don't blame me, sir. I am from a small place and I don't know the etiquette. Please forgive me."
After saying that, he quickly helped Qin Wuyang up, smiled at him, and placed the box firmly in Qin Wuyang's arms, asking him to hold it well. Then he stepped forward and bowed to Ying Zheng to apologize:
"Your Majesty, I am a barbarian from the northern vassal land. I have never seen the emperor before and I am frightened by your majesty. I beg you to be a little lenient with me and allow me to complete my mission in front of you."
Ying Zheng chuckled and said, "I have long heard of the name of Qin Kai of Yan State. He is a powerful general in the world. Deputy Envoy Qin Wuyang, you are Qin Kai's grandson, right?"
Ying Zheng's words brought Qin Wuyang back to his senses. He remembered his grandfather's legend. He wanted to admit it, but he didn't dare to. Today he had brought shame to his grandfather, and he didn't have the face to admit it.
After hearing Jing Ke's words, he wanted to continue his mission, but the boundless fear made his limbs stiff and weak. Tears and snot flowed down, wetting his entire face. His lips kept trembling, and his whole face looked miserable.
Ying Zheng shook his head slightly, extremely disappointed with this waste. This guy, who looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside, is not even worthy of being amused by him.
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Alright, the deputy envoy should wait outside the palace first. The chief envoy Jing Qing is enough."
Jing Ke quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
After expressing his gratitude, he quickly took the box from Qin Wuyang's arms. Qin Wuyang looked at Jing Ke with tears in his eyes, unable to utter a word.
Jing Ke smiled at him again, patted his shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "I don't blame you, go wait outside the palace."
Qin Wuyang's tears flowed even more violently, but she finally regained her composure and walked out of the hall with heavy steps. Countless contemptuous looks made her feel that her life was worse than death.
He didn't know how he walked outside the hall. He squatted under a pillar, curled up into a ball, with his wide sleeves covering his entire head.
After Qin Wuyang turned and left, Jing Ke, with a smile on his face, acted as if nothing had happened. His movements were natural and careful, and every move was extremely respectful. He gently placed the box on the floor of the hall, took out the letter from his arms, and held it above his head with both hands.
"Your Majesty is so kind, I am very grateful to you."
"This is the letter from my king, and I respectfully present it to Your Majesty."
The eunuch hurried forward, took the letter from the credential, checked it, and presented it respectfully to Ying Zheng.
Jing Ke still bowed and waited until Ying Zheng began to read the letter, then he continued:
"Your Majesty's benevolence is like spring rain, nourishing all people. Your Majesty cares about the people, implements benevolent policies, and extends his grace to the four seas, making the world submit. Your Majesty's virtue moves the heavens above and transforms the people below. You are truly a sage king in the world."
"The great king's divine majesty makes even the smaller nations bow down in obeisance. The great king's benevolence is praised by all the people in the world. The great king cares for the world and his kindness extends to the whole world, thus making the world return to his heart and be converted."
"Yan is just a small country in the vassal land of barbarians. It has always admired the king's rule and has been on good terms with the Qin for generations. Now that the king is dominating the world, my king is willing to be your subject and my Yan is willing to be your vassal. I am here on the orders of my king to congratulate the king on taking over Zhao."
"To congratulate the king on his great achievements and contributions to the world, my lord will offer the most prosperous Shanggu and Guangyang counties in Yan State, a total of 42 cities, to the king! Congratulations to the king! Congratulations to the Qin Dynasty!"
Jing Ke leaned over and picked up the box, opened it naturally, and held it high, so that Ying Zheng and the ministers in the hall could see the very delicate map mounted with gold brocade ribbons. The gold paper shone faintly with golden light in the sun.
The eyes of all the officials in the court were drawn to this small map.
The box containing the map was inlaid with gems. It was exquisite and precious enough, but not worth mentioning.
The gold-clear paper that carries the map is dozens of times more expensive than gold, but it is still not worth mentioning.
These are not just a few pieces of paper. The map on them represents the most prosperous land of Yan State!
To ordinary people, this map is nothing more than a few pictures, but in the eyes of these nobles, what they see is a vast landscape. In the eyes of Ying Zheng, what they see is the beauty of the landscape!
This map represents the surrender of Yan State!
This means that as long as this generous gift is received, within a few years, without a single blow, the State of Yan will directly submit to the Han State just like it did!
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and whispered the words Jing Ke wanted to hear the most: "The envoy from Yan, please come forward and tell me about the mountains and rivers of these two counties."
Jing Ke felt relieved.
Even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, you can remain calm; even if a tiger lies behind you, you can remain calm.
But what we are facing now is not a tiger, but a black dragon that is thousands of times more powerful than a tiger!
Jing Ke's heart still couldn't help beating faster.
A beat faster.
Jing Ke held the opened box high above his head, lowered his head and walked forward slowly.
No one stopped.
all the best.
Close,
close!
close!
Twenty steps,
Fifteen steps,
Eight steps.
not enough,
He stepped on the hanging belt and stomped,
not enough,
Finally, we arrived at the side of Ying Zheng's imperial desk.
enough.
Up to now, Jing Ke had not looked up to see Ying Zheng.
Jing Ke looked calm and composed, with a respectful smile on his face. He gently placed the box on the imperial desk, carefully took out the map, and put it down carefully.
He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please open the seal with your own hands. I dare not overstep my authority. After Your Majesty opens the seal, I will explain it to Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng nodded with a smile, and with a gentle tug, he untied the brocade ribbon that had bound the map and rolled it into a firework.
Jing Ke shook his wide sleeves, revealing his hands. He pressed the map with his right hand and slowly pushed the map open with his left hand.
On the map, mountains and rivers appear, and cities stand in rows, what a beautiful picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
"Your Majesty, please look. Shanggu County and Guangyang County have a total of 42 cities. They include the fertile land on both sides of the Yishui River and the fertile land of Du and Kang." Until now, everything Jing Ke has done is impeccable, and he is worthy of his great wisdom and courage.
Ying Zheng leaned forward slightly, seemingly concentrating on appreciating the beauty of the mountains and rivers on the map.
The two of them were only three feet apart!
At this time, the eunuch closest to Ying Zheng was two steps away! As for the secret guards, it was unknown how far away they were!
Even though you are a powerful person, but at this moment!
It can also cause blood to splatter three feet!
The map is almost completely opened.
Jing Ke continued to introduce: "This is the most fertile and important land in Yan State. It is flat and has abundant products."
The map was pushed to the end and was fully unfolded.
Only a hint of cold light appeared!
The sword is in my hand!
The essence has already been concentrated!
The air has already condensed!
God, he has grown hair for a long time!
Meaning, brave and resolute!
The momentum is natural!
Full of passion, move forward courageously!
The broken rainbow was forged, and before it drank any blood, the evil sword was already thirsty.
The Yuchang sword was sharp and rang, and he was extremely excited about slaying the dragon.
The precious sword held in Jing Ke's left hand was filled with strong sword energy, and the three-inch sword edge at the tip of the sword was unstoppable!
Everything he had was condensed into this sword.
All the energy and spirit in the body, all the blood and internal strength were drained, all the courage and murderous intent were concentrated in this sword!
There was nothing else in his eyes except the enemy before him. With this desperate determination, containing all the courage and strength of a warrior, he stabbed the King of Qin with the sword!
Stabbed the black dragon that dominated the world!
With lightning speed, in a flash, at a moment when all the ministers and guards in the hall had no chance to react, the sword had already stabbed the black dragon!
But Jing Ke never expected that at this moment, Ying Zheng still had time to react.
King Qin was able to place a protective shield of Gangqi in front of him at the critical moment! What a terrifying cultivation and terrifying vigilance.
But with this unstoppable sword, there is no need to consider anything.
forward!
forward!
forward!
The shield of Qi that is immune to all evil and invulnerable to swords and guns still can't block this sword!
Break through the first layer and it feels like nothing!
Break through the second layer with overwhelming force!
Break through the third layer with unstoppable force!
But when you reach the fourth level, it’s hard to make any further progress!
No one was able to react to this sword, except Ying Zheng!
At the moment when Jing Ke drew his sword, Ying Zheng, who had been prepared, had already set up nine layers of Gangqi shields in front of him. Although Ying Zheng expected Jing Ke to break through four or five layers at most, he still set up nine layers, focusing on stability.
Jing Ke's eyes were wide open with anger, and he continued to move forward with sword in hand!
The sword was only one foot and three inches away from Ying Zheng's throat!
The already broken and incomplete Remnant Rainbow could not withstand the tremendous pressure. It shattered in an instant after a mournful cry.
This is an evil and fierce sword, but it has never seen blood.
After the remnant rainbow shattered, Yuchang was revealed. The sword light of Yuchang was flickering, showing its utmost determination!
I am invincible, there is no life or death, I will move forward!
This is the Sword of Courage! Its current owner has lived up to its promise!
But it’s not enough.
Jing Ke, holding the fish intestine, tried his best but could only break one layer of the protective qi shield.
Ying Zheng didn't even move.
The crown tassels did not tremble at all.
Jing Ke's pupils dilated in shock. He looked at Ying Zheng, and through the crown, he saw Ying Zheng smiling slightly, with an inexplicable and profound meaning.
This was the first time he saw Ying Zheng since his childhood.
Even through the crown, one could tell that the King of Qin was very majestic and handsome, and had a very sturdy figure. Although he was smiling at this moment, there was an incomparable indifference in the depths of his eyes.
What’s more important is that the King of Qin could actually laugh!
Ying Zheng waved his hand and knocked Jing Ke back to the hall. He was not interested in running around the pillars. Now the farce should end. It was very interesting.
It's time to end.
Jing Ke, who fell in the hall, had his meridians broken inch by inch.
His skin was completely red and black blood was flowing from all his orifices.
Lying on the ground, his breathing was barely audible.
The attempts to assassinate Qin Shi Huang and slay the dragon failed.
Doomed to fail.
His miserable condition was not due to Ying Zheng using too much force.
Ying Zheng didn't want to kill anyone. He had never killed anyone with his own hands in his life. The benevolent monarch was no joke.
Jing Ke's sword was a fatal strike, and he put in all his effort.
He is only thirty years old, but he is already exhausted.
It was not until this time, when Jing Ke was already lying in the hall unable to move, that the other people in the hall reacted.
The eunuch made a sharp explosion: "Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor! Someone come and protect the emperor!!!"
Before he finished speaking, he jumped in front of Ying Zheng and opened his arms to protect Ying Zheng behind him.
The secret guards hiding beside Ying Zheng had all jumped out long ago, with most of them protecting Ying Zheng, while the others surrounded Jing Ke.
At the same time, many civil and military officials, even those in their seventies and eighties, crawled to the steps of the dragon throne and protected Ying Zheng.
In addition, countless eunuchs, secret guards, and imperial guards with profound cultivation also rushed into the hall, and for a moment the entire hall was bustling with activity.
Ying Zheng chuckled and said, "That's enough. I'm fine. There's no need to make a fuss."
"Everyone, please sit back down."
It all happened so quickly; in fact, it was just a few breaths.
When the ministers saw that their king was unharmed, they bowed in shock and returned to their seats.
At this time their hearts were still beating violently. Even those who knew the inside story could not control their nervousness and fear. At the same time, they had immense respect and admiration for Ying Zheng!
The murderous aura after the sword burst out was extremely terrifying, far more terrifying than imagined, but in front of the king, even its power could not be unleashed. The king did not move at all, and everything disappeared into thin air.
Some of the eunuchs and secret guards also retreated, but many still remained in front of Ying Zheng, looking at everyone vigilantly.
Yan Jin had been cultivating his energy for many years, and he knew the plan behind this, and he also had absolute confidence in Ying Zheng, so he was extremely nervous at this moment.
He has always been determined to persuade Ying Zheng not to take risks, but Ying Zheng would not listen.
At this time, he had already sent people to arrest all the Yan State envoys, and the entire Xianyang Palace and Xianyang were under martial law. Qin Wuyang, who was outside the palace, had also been captured and taken into the palace.
Qin Wuyang was forced to kneel down by two secret guards on both sides. Not far away from him was Jing Ke, who was barely breathing.
Looking at Jing Ke's miserable condition, Qin Wuyang burst into tears but could not say anything. The extremely solemn and murderous atmosphere was far more terrifying than before. The fear of death, or even the fear of a life worse than death, completely defeated him.
He had so much to say, but now he couldn't say anything and could only tremble and cry.
Ying Zheng said coldly: "I understand. You are the grandson of a famous general. It is an honor to be sent to Qin. Why are you so scared and nervous?"
Ying Zheng sneered: "So, you want to assassinate me!"
Ying Zheng slammed the imperial desk suddenly with a loud noise, and the desk broke into pieces. The sound echoed continuously in the hall which was filled with depressing silence, frightening everyone and Qin Wuyang even collapsed directly to the ground.
This thick table made of rosewood was already riddled with holes from the impact of the sword energy just now. Now, with a palm from Ying Zheng, it was completely turned into broken wood.
However, apart from the table in front of him, there was no loss of other items under Ying Zheng's deliberate control. He did not want to renovate the Zhangtai Palace, as it would cost too much, and unnecessary losses had to be controlled.
Ying Zheng continued his act and said angrily: "How dare you!"
"The Qin State and the Yan State have always been on good terms, and I have always treated the Yan State well. Your envoy is in the Qin State, and I have treated him with great care. Your Yan State, in the name of congratulating you, is actually assassinating you. This is simply rude, dishonest and shameless!"
"Tell me, what exactly is going on?! Who is involved?!"
Qin Wuyang had collapsed on the ground, twitching, unable to utter a word.
Jing Ke, not knowing where he got the strength from, forced himself to straighten his upper body. Although his supporting arm was still shaking, his left hand still held Yuchang tightly, although Yuchang had lost all its edge at this time.
But he still held it tightly. A swordsman could not let go of the sword before he died.
Although he also knew that it was absolutely impossible to accomplish.
I had expected everything, but I didn't expect the King of Qin's cultivation to be so high that he was no longer a human being.
Jing Ke's eyes were already covered in blood, and he could not see anything clearly, but he still looked proudly in the direction of Ying Zheng, and looked up at Ying Zheng rudely.
Ying Zheng chuckled: "You evil villain, you are very brave. You have tried your best."
Jing Ke grinned, forcing his facial muscles to reveal a smile: "You are a hypocritical king, you are evil but look kind. If the world falls into your hands, you will definitely ravage it at will. I am now serving the country and the world. I cannot get rid of you, the evil king. It is only because I am weak and incompetent, not because you are virtuous. You should not die!"
"It's a pity that I can't repay my master's kindness and my great hatred."
Hearing this, all the ministers started to scold loudly. Ying Zheng waved his hand and the ministers stopped talking, but they still glared at him.
Ying Zheng's face turned cold and he scolded:
"You evil villains are nothing but brave men, fighting for supremacy, brave and aggressive, knowing small etiquette but not great justice, calling yourself chivalrous but not knowing what benevolence is! You are proud of breaking the law, yet you dare to talk about the world? Are you qualified to talk about the people?!"
Ying Zheng's voice gradually became louder.
"Do you know how many years the world has been in turmoil? And how many people have died?"
"The Divine Land has been in turmoil for more than 500 years, with millions of people killed and injured. How could you, a wicked villain, have ever seen this?"
"When nations attack one another, and people suffer, they sink into dire straits, have you ever seen that?"
"Which country has not invaded another country? Which war has not resulted in countless casualties? Have you ever seen it?"
"I, only I! I see it all with my own eyes! Seeing the suffering of the people, I am also heartbroken."
"I have been a hostage since I was young, and I have seen all the sufferings of the world. That is why I have set a great ambition to unite all the people in the world, so that everyone in the world can be a citizen of one country! Speak the same language, write the same characters, and understand and love each other!"
"Only when the world is united can there be no more wars!"
"In this process, there will indeed be deaths, but this is only labor pain! It is only temporary. Some sacrifices now are for the sake of eternal peace for generations to come!"
Ying Zheng angrily shouted, "You evil villains, when have you ever thought about the people of the world? When have you ever had civilians in your eyes? You are so dishonest and unrighteous to assassinate me. You are trampling on the morality of the world!"
"Whether you can succeed or not, the two countries will go to war. Once the war starts, all lives will be lost."
"Have you ever thought about all this? How dare you talk about the world and the people?!"
Jing Ke said nothing. He was already dead, but his body was still staring at Ying Zheng.
He did not want to be humiliated, and since his plan had failed, he just wanted to die quickly. Before he finished speaking, he had already quietly cut his finger with the Yuchang sword. However, his meridians were severed, and his blood was exhausted. It took several breaths for the poison to take his life.
Ying Zheng didn't care whether he lived or died, and continued to follow his own script with interest, and then shouted:
"The King of Yan has always been rude and untrustworthy, and now he is unkind and unjust. I have treated him sincerely and with great courtesy! Now he has sent this evil villain to assassinate me in the name of congratulations. This is simply outrageous and has never happened before in history."
"My Lords, what should I do about the King of Yan's actions?!"
All the ministers shouted angrily: "Destroy Yan! Destroy Yan! Destroy Yan!"
The voice of destroying Yan resounded through the sky, and Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Pass on my order, make preparations from now on, and destroy Yan in the spring of next year!"
"Issue a proclamation to inform the world, so that everyone in the world will know what the King of Yan did! How unfaithful and unjust this is!"
"The King of Yan is shameless and has no morals. I will not be like him and issue a declaration of war to the King of Yan. I will destroy the Kingdom of Yan in an upright manner!"
"Yan Jin, find out all the details of this assassination attempt. Find out all the people involved. All of them will be judged by me personally."
"As for these two villains, take them away and interrogate them thoroughly to get to the bottom of everything."
Yan Jin bowed and said yes, and the ministers went about their business.
A secret guard whispered to Yan Jin that Jing Ke was dead. Yan Jin glared at him and whispered back that the Qin Dynasty had its own rules and regulations, and then pulled Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang away.
Ying Zheng was in a good mood and went to Zhangde Hall leisurely.
We had a lot of fun performing and playing the play today, and it finally added some fun to the boring days.
Moreover, all the goals have been achieved, now let the wind blow for a while.
Ying Zheng was also quite interested in the subsequent reactions of the whole world.
As for the State of Yan, a large number of secret guards had already been sent there, and the Agricultural School, the Mohist School, and the Yin-Yang School were also prepared. If Yan Dan really had the courage to kill his father and the king, then Ying Zheng would definitely lend him a helping hand!
The more chaotic the State of Yan is, the easier it will be to destroy it and the smaller the losses will be.
Such an earth-shaking event could not be concealed, and Ying Zheng did not want to hide it. He himself issued a manifesto to spread it throughout the world, and the news quickly spread throughout Xianyang.
It then quickly spread from Xianyang to the rest of the world.
The King of Yan sent an envoy to assassinate the King of Qin in the name of offering land, paying tribute and congratulating!
He had already reached the King of Qin! He was only one foot away from him! He almost succeeded!
When the beauties in the harem heard that Ying Zheng had been assassinated, they were all terrified. Even though they knew that Ying Zheng's cultivation was unfathomable and that he was fine now, they were still terrified. This was because they were too concerned.
One by one, they hurried to Zhangde Hall to ask for an audience.
Ying Zheng showed up to prove that he was fine, which reassured the beauties and they all went back.
After the beauties returned to the palace, they all tried their best to find out the specific details.
There was only one exception, Ji Qiong. It wasn't that she didn't want to come, it was that she couldn't come.
When she heard the news, it was the eunuch who came to convey the imperial decree that she was under house arrest.
After learning the reason, he fainted on the spot.
Not only her, several palace maids in her palace also fainted. The palace maids who barely survived the fainting had to work hard to wake everyone up. Afterwards, the whole palace was filled with crying.
When Zhao Ji heard this, she was horrified and pale. She didn't even sit on the phoenix chariot. She rode her horse to Zhangde Hall immediately and checked Ying Zheng from head to toe. She was relieved only after making sure that he was fine.
After confirming that everything was fine, she burst into tears on the spot, and cried non-stop while hugging Ying Zheng with tears in her eyes, making Ying Zheng feel both happy and distressed. It took repeated comforting for Zhao Ji to make her sunny and cheerful again.
Zhao Ji was extremely afraid of losing Ying Zheng. She hadn't felt this kind of fear and despair for many years. In an instant, it was as if she had returned to 20 years ago, trapped in the danger of Handan. Nothing else mattered. The most important thing was that Zheng'er was fine and that the two of them were together.
After Zhao Ji became worried, she became furious and indignant. She rarely issued an order herself, asking the palace maids to take her phoenix seal and order Yan Jin to find out the truth and then to dismember the two messengers and grind their bones to ashes.
Ying Zheng did not stop her. Zhao Ji was very frightened and wanted to vent her anger. Zhao Ji accompanied Ying Zheng for a whole day before returning to the palace.
There is nothing to investigate about this matter; everything is clear at a glance.
The purpose of the check is just to count the relevant personnel, and then decide how to deal with them.
It doesn’t matter whether the mastermind is King Xi of Yan or Yan Dan, as he is from the royal family of Yan anyway.
The other accomplices, especially the assassin, are no longer ordinary villains. They dared to do such a heinous thing and even dared to participate in it. They must be dealt with severely!
Killing the whole family is not enough, the entire clan must be killed!
As more and more details and news about the assassin's identity spread, Ji Qiong was not the only one who fainted.
As the queen, Ying Xin naturally gets the news the fastest.
After learning that the swords used by the assassin were forged by the people of Zhao, and that one of them was the Yuchang sword, he broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.
This, this, has come true.
There was actually someone who wanted to kill the king with the Yuchang sword.
No! The Yuchang Sword slipped out of my hand!
How could it be such a coincidence that I had just given it to my sister-in-law and so quickly exchanged it for the Liuguang Sword? And what a coincidence that I exchanged it with Yan Dan?
It's over.
My sister-in-law is not involved, right? If so, I can't explain it clearly.
No, could my sister-in-law really be involved in this?
After all, Ying Xin had been in the palace for many years and had developed some political sensitivity. She could imagine what kind of chaos the entire Qin Dynasty would be in if Ying Zheng was really assassinated.
If chaos really breaks out, the recently destroyed Zhao State may really be able to restore its country.
Among those who benefited the most, apart from other countries, the people of Zhao were also the ones who benefited the most.
When Ying Xin thought of this, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. Her forehead was wet and the sweat flowed down her tall and delicate nose.
After forcing himself to calm down, he immediately went to find Ying Zheng again, told him the truth, and asked Ying Zheng to order the former Zhao royal family and many important ministers to be guarded first.
Ying Zheng was actually quite surprised and admired this silly girl very much. She was decisive at the critical moment and made the most correct choice.
Ying Zheng deliberately kept an ambiguous attitude and just told Ying Xin not to worry and to go back to the palace and have a good rest.
Ying Xin was very nervous, but she could only return to the palace and do nothing.
The attitude has been made clear, nothing else should be done.
The more you do, the more mistakes you make. If a villain interferes and causes misunderstandings, you will end up making things worse.
Ying Zheng sent the Xuanyu Guards to watch over the Zhao royal family members and all important ministers, and temporarily confined them all to their homes.
When Queen Zhao Diaochang heard this terrible news, and she was under house arrest by numerous Xuanyu Guards, she fainted on the spot.
She saw this matter clearly, and couldn't explain it no matter what.
When she woke up, what she saw was Anle Marquis Zhao Qian, who was so frightened that he was at a loss and had been crying for several rounds.
Zhao Qian looked at Zhao Diaochang with a worried look on his face. When he saw his mother wake up, he burst into tears again. He was already sensible enough and could see the terrible consequences.
When Zhao Diaochang saw Zhao Qian crying, she couldn't help crying out loud, and the mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly.
After crying, Queen Zhao Daochang quickly calmed herself down and immediately submitted a memorial to Ying Zheng, explaining everything and stating that the people of Zhao really had nothing to do with the evil villain!
The people of Zhao live very well in Daqin! The people of Zhao sincerely want to integrate into Daqin! They have no second thoughts!
He also wrote a letter to Ying Xin without hiding anything, stating everything clearly, saying that he really had no idea and that everything was an accident, a coincidence, and that it was Jianxin who dealt with the Yuchang Sword.
As for the original royal family and many important ministers of Zhao State, they were all terrified when they were suddenly confined to their homes.
But most people are smart. When they think about the assassination of Ying Zheng, they naturally know that there might be people from Zhao involved. Although they don't know the specific situation, they are even more chilled when they think about it. Which bastard, stupid bastard did such a stupid thing! Is he going to kill everyone?
Although Lord Jianxin knew nothing except that Ying Zheng was assassinated by an envoy from the State of Yan.
But he still quickly thought of the Yuchang Sword. He understood the principle that if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.
He instantly knew why it was such a coincidence that the Yuchang Sword could be sold!
This is definitely not a coincidence. The State of Yan wants to drag the people of Zhao into this! And the lady and the queen must have been used by someone!
Guo Kai! Definitely Guo Kai!
Everything happens so naturally and so coincidentally. It is definitely not a coincidence, it is a plan!
Jianxin Jun felt a chill in his heart. He didn't know whether this was Guo Kai's own idea or was instigated by the King of Qin.
If this was Guo Kai's idea, then what exactly did he want to do? Did he want to get rid of this annoying person?
If it was ordered by the King of Qin, it would be even more terrifying, as it is very likely to eliminate all possible hidden dangers!
Jianxin Jun was worthy of being the Prime Minister of Zhao State for more than ten years. With limited information, he deduced most of the facts from clues.
But he was also more heartbroken.
As a fish on the chopping board, everything can only be left to fate, depending on how far the King of Qin wants the situation to develop. This matter can now develop to an unlimited level.
As for the other person who fainted, it was of course Gongsun Li.
She had originally returned to the palace with peace of mind after making sure that Ying Zheng was fine, but she never expected that she would be involved.
The assassin is my senior brother!
After hearing the news, Gongsun Li, who was drinking tea, stood up suddenly. She felt a black screen in her eyes, staggered, and fell on the table.
Gongsun Li was so smart that when she heard that the murder weapon was the Yuchang Sword, she had already thought that the queen would be involved. Before she could be happy, she heard this tragic news that was like a bolt from the blue.
The maid was so frightened that her mind went blank. She hurriedly woke up Gongsun Li. When Gongsun Li came to her senses, she felt dizzy again.
This was truly a disaster from the sky. Gongsun Li felt mixed emotions and was extremely sad. Even though she had always had a strong character, she couldn't control her tears now.
I got news from my senior brother, which is good.
But why is it the news that my senior brother has assassinated the king? It is a great disaster.
What else is there? It's for revenge.
Brother, you, you, you, how can you be so confused? !
You were impulsive before and hurt yourself. Now you have done something wrong again. Aren't you going to hurt your junior sister again? !
