Why did Jing Ke fail to assassinate the King of Qin and what was the final outcome of Qin Wuyang?
Ying Zheng, king of Qin, has been focusing on the strategy of unifying the world since he came to power in 238 BC. In 230 BC, Nasten, the general of Qin Dynasty, attacked Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, captured Wang Han, and South Korea perished. In 228 BC, Wang Jian, a general of the State of Qin, attacked Handan, the capital of the State of Zhao, and occupied Wang Zhao.
After the demise of Korea and Zhao, the State of Qin annexed the land of the two countries, and Qin Jun also reached the south bank of Yishui. This used to be the border between Yan and Zhao, but now it has become the border between Qin and Yan. Taizi Dan deeply understands the truth of humiliating the cold. The demise of Han and Zhao indicates Yan's future fate. Not content to do nothing, Taizi Dan discussed with his teacher Ju Wu how to save Yan.
Juwu suggested a union, but Taizi Dan thought it was not feasible. Juyongguo suggested not to take in Fan, a traitor of Qin, and Taizi Dan agreed. Later, Juwu introduced Tian Guang to Taizi Dan. Tian Guang is a ranger of Yan State. Because he is too old to act on his own, he recommended Jing Ke to Taizi Dan. This is the plan of Taizi Dan and Jing Ke to assassinate Ying Zheng, the king of Qin.
The original intention of Taizi Dan was to send assassins to approach the king of Qin pretending to be envoys of the Yan State, and then seize the king of Qin and force him to return the land annexed by various vassal States. Let the king of Qin sign the agreement if he agrees, or kill him if he doesn't agree.
Prince Dan asked Jing Ke if it was okay to do this. Jing Ke said yes, only by solving the trust problem of the king of Qin can it be done, so Jing Ke asked Taizi Dan for two things: a map of Du Kang in Yan State and the head of Fan, a traitor in Qin State. Du Kang's map was directly provided by Taizi Dan, but Fan's head was Jing Ke who went to see Fan personally and explained to him the assassination of Ying Zheng, the king of Qin. Fan committed suicide, and Jing Ke got Fan's head. So when the two things are put together, it is possible to assassinate the king of Qin. The next step is to determine the candidates for assassination.
Jing Ke was the main figure who stabbed Qin, and then Taizi Dan found a helper for Jing Ke. This helper is called Qin Wuyang. Qin Wuyang is the grandson of Qin Kai, a famous Yan. Qin Kai was a famous minister in the Yan Zhaowang period. He once helped the prince defeat Donghu, and relieved Donghu's threat to Yan. After Qin Wuyang became famous, he dared to kill people at the age of thirteen, and most people dared not look him in the eye.
13 This age is the year of dancing spoon of the ancients, which means that this age is the age of learning dancing spoon, and he is not yet an adult. The time when Qin Wuyang and Jing Ke assassinated the king of Qin is not clearly recorded in the history books. He only said that Qin Wuyang killed people at the age of 13, not that Qin Wuyang killed the king of Qin at the age of 13. It is impossible to think about it, and it is impossible to send an inexperienced person to perform such an important task.
According to the later description, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang stabbed the king of Qin. At that time, Jing Ke was holding Fan's head, Qin Wuyang was holding a map of Du Kang, and Mrs. Xu's dagger, the weapon to assassinate the king of Qin, was hidden in the map. Therefore, it can be seen that the person who stabbed or bullied the king of Qin with a dagger should be Qin Wuyang, because the map with a dagger is in Qin Wuyang's hand. Therefore, it is inferred that Jing Ke's task inside should be to control the king of Qin, be controlled by Jing Ke and be controlled by Qin Wuyang.
However, when Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang met the King of Qin, an accident happened. Qin Wuyang's face turned pale under the hall, and his body seemed to be trembling with fear. Qin Wuyang's abnormal behavior aroused the discussion of Qin Minister and the suspicion of Ying Zheng, the king of Qin. But at this time, the king of Qin was just suspicious. I didn't expect these two messengers to dare to assassinate themselves, while Jing Ke came forward to explain to Qin Wuyang that Qin Wuyang was rude and had never seen the world, so he felt it.
Until this time, Jing Ke's assassination mission changed. It turns out that the two assassinations were together. Now because of Qin Wuyang's fear, it has become Jing Ke's task, which doomed the difficulty of assassinating the king of Qin. Qin Wuyang's fear also aroused the suspicion of Qin's monarch and subjects, and also led to Jing Ke's failure to assassinate Qin. The reason for the failure is that Qin Wuyang fell off the chain to a great extent, which led to the failure of the plan.
Then the question is, didn't Qin Wuyang 13 kill people? Why is he afraid to go to the hall of Qin State?
Qin Wuyang was an assassination deputy selected by Yan Taizi Dan. It stands to reason that Taizi Dan has been planning for so long that he can't even choose a good person. Besides, there are many heroes in the land of Zhao Yan. In fact, before Jing Ke stabbed the king of Qin, there was another episode, that is, Qin Gui's original assistant was not Qin Wuyang, but another person. But this man lives far away, and Jing Ke has been waiting for him, but he hasn't come, and he doesn't know whether he didn't come or whether he was delayed on the way. At that time, Yan Taizi Dan urged Jing Ke to start work quickly.
As a result, Jing Ke was still angry and said, if I can't come back to this assassination, it's because of Qin Wuyang. I'm not leaving now, because I'm waiting for my friend to go with me. Now you don't like my delay, so I'll leave now. So Jing Ke gave up waiting and set off.
This shows that Jing Ke discovered that Qin Wuyang could not succeed before the assassination. 65,438+03 years old, can kill people. Going to the Qin court to kill the king of Qin is completely different. 65,438+03 years old, he may have no pressure to kill. After Qin Wuyang became famous, it was nothing to kill a weaker person, but it was not easy to stab the king of Qin in the state of Qin.
The fundamental reason why Qin Wuyang is afraid is inexperience. He can't help himself at the thought of the upcoming assassination. This happens when people are afraid. This can only show that Qin Wuyang's psychological quality is not good and he can't face the pressure easily, so he fell off the chain. Jing Ke had seen from Qin Wuyang that it was inappropriate, but he had no choice but to hope for a miracle, while Qin Wuyang quit because of fear.
In addition, Yan Taizi Dan sent Qin Wuyang and Jing Ke to assassinate the king of Qin together, which was also intended to let Qin Wuyang monitor Jing Ke. After all, it's a big deal to stab the king of Qin. If Jing Ke had not escaped from surveillance, the painstaking efforts of Yan Taizi Dan would not have been all in vain. In fact, Jing Ke didn't want to assassinate him, but was forced by Tian Guang's suicide and Yan Taizi Dan's kindness, so he had to promise, and then set off under the pressure of Prince Taizi Dan.
Qin Wuyang's fear made Jing Ke change his plan. Now he is the only one facing the king of Qin. The king of Qin first looked at Fan's head, and then looked at the map of Du Kang, the state of Yan. The map was placed on the case of the king of Qin, and Jing Ke slowly spread it out for the king of Qin, with the dagger hidden at the end of the map. When the map unfolded, the dagger appeared. Because Jing Ke knew there was a dagger on the map, he should have caught it a few seconds earlier than the king of Qin.
And Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, is also an extremely clever man. When he saw Qin Wuyang's performance, he felt something was wrong and a little suspicious. People who can be regarded as messengers should not be afraid. Besides, is it necessary to give something so scared? Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, just realized that something was wrong and didn't want to assassinate him, but he was prepared. So when Jing Ke grabbed the dagger in one hand and the sleeve of the king of Qin in the other, the king of Qin reacted quickly, broke free quickly and ran around the pillar.
Later, Dr. Qin smashed his medicine cabinet at Jing Ke's place. Jing Ke paused, and Ying Zheng, king of Qin, drew his sword and cut Jing Ke. Jing Ke fell to the ground, and Jing Ke threw the dagger at the king of Qin, but missed. Then his royal highness's warriors rushed up and hacked Jing Ke to death. So what is Qin Wuyang doing in this process?
When Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, Qin Wuyang was probably captured and bound by his royal highness's ministers and warriors. Then Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, will probably ask Qin Wuyang who is behind it after killing Jing Ke. Qin Wuyang can only tell the truth, of course. Qin Wuyang will be killed by Ying Zheng, the king of Qin. Obviously, he can't get out alive. This should be the end of Qin Wuyang.
