Chapter 261: Report your favor on the golden stage, support the Jade Dragon and die for you!
Looking to the northeast, Jiang Qu seemed to be whispering to someone, and also seemed to be muttering to himself: "Your Majesty." When he was able, he personally came to the minister's home and asked him to become an official. "
"But in the past, the minister was just an ordinary farmer with a few acres of farmland and an arrogant appearance. He was too ashamed to ascend to a high position. "
“So much so that the king personally came to invite him three times, turning the peasant boy fifty years ago into a doctor of the Yan State who was envied by his neighbors and proud of his parents, and now even becomes the prime minister of the country!”
"Because my family is poor, the king always rewards me with money and land. Because I am cowardly, my king never reprimands me, only encourages me."
"I all remember it, and I remember it clearly! ”
Jiang Qu couldn’t help but recall scenes from fifty years ago.
At that time, King Yan Zhao was already in his fifties, but he was resolute, courageous, benevolent, gentle, open-minded, and eager for talents.
He took Guo Wei as his teacher, respected Guo Wei's advice, gave him a lot of money to buy horse bones, and built a golden platform to worship the virtuous people of the world.
Again and again he personally invited anyone who might have talent, and if he was rejected, he invited him again, and twice more.
As the King of Yan, he was over fifty years old, but he put aside his pride as a king. In order to seek talents, he even lost his face!
He treated Wei envoys who might be talented with courtesy and invitations all the time, so that the Wei envoys changed jobs and became Yaqing of Yan State on the way to the envoys, and finally became the "Seventy Cities" with a smile. At that time, Le Yi was good at strengthening Yan's power and ranked among the top ten philosophers in the martial arts temple.
He had no suspicion of the defeated general of the previous dynasty who had been a slave in Donghu for more than ten years after being defeated and captured, and took advantage of the chaos to escape. King Zhao drove Donghu Qianli to the north and Queji family to the north for two thousand miles, opened up five counties for the Yan Kingdom, and led the construction of the Yanbei Great Wall, eventually becoming a nightmare for the aliens, and the virtuous general Qin Kai!
He also proposed the views of "Five Virtues Beginning" and "Great Nine Provinces", which influenced later generations for more than two thousand years and many other talented people came to vote.
It was during that period that Jiang Qu, who was in his twenties, was invited to the court.
In front of all the wise men, he was insignificant.
He is just a small official standing behind the wise men. Even if the sky falls, there is no need to worry, because there will always be a 'tall man' to hold him up.
Jiang Qu only needs to follow the footsteps of the wise men and move forward happily, witnessing that this country, which was originally only a second-rate small country, has grown explosively due to the concerted efforts of wise kings and wise ministers, and has leapt into the ranks of the Seven Heroes!
Thinking about it, Jiang Qu burst into tears: "However, my military strategy is far away from the king of Xunchang (Le Yi)!"
"The strategy of my minister is far inferior to that of Guo Zi (Guo Wei)!"
"Now that all the sages have left the court, a person as humble (humble) and despicable as my minister can actually be my prime minister of Yan." "Bang."
"I am really incompetent. I can only watch my country collapse with no chance of recovery!"
"I am really old and can't carry it anymore!" "
In the past, the giants either ran away, fled, died or were expelled. The small official who followed the virtuous people fifty years ago became the prime minister of the Yan Kingdom today and became the Yan Kingdom' The tallest man.
But his talent was not outstanding, and he was often pulled out of the way by the king. Even if he straightened his back, raised his arms high, and stood on tiptoes, he could not carry the banner of the Yan Kingdom!
Put your palms inward, place your left hand on top of your right hand, cup your hands on the ground, and kowtow heavily: "My lord, I am so ashamed of your kindness to the king!"
Not far away, Ying Cheng The dragon came galloping on his horse and shouted anxiously: "Rush over and stop Prime Minister Yan!"
"Gua Fu!"
Jiang Qu whispered: "Hold the shield and send someone to Cheng.”
Qu Lang wiped away his tears, stood behind General Qu with a shield, and roared angrily: "Be careful of the hidden arrows of the Qin army, protect the master of the family!"
More than three hundred surviving family soldiers all picked up their weapons and pointed them at Ying Cheng Long, and ten more soldiers holding shields protected him everywhere.
Ying Chengyu galloped on his horse, pierced the neck of a family soldier with a halberd, and shouted loudly: "The two armies are fighting for their own masters. If they lose, they will be defeated. Why bother to commit suicide?"
“The King of Yan is not kind to talents, but I, the King of Qin, are thirsty for talents.”
“Fighting for the prosperity of a country is not as good as fighting for the prosperity of the world. I can promise you this on my king’s behalf.” The position of Jiuqing treats Prime Minister Yan favorably.”
"Don't..."
Jiang Qu didn't care about Ying Chengyuan, he didn't even listen to what Ying Chengyuan was saying.
Jiang Qu just hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeves, trying to maintain the most decent posture, and then unsheathed his sword and placed it across the side of his neck.
Looking in the direction of the golden platform, he whispered with anticipation, nervousness and guilt:
"Your Majesty!"
"Chen Qu, I'm here to plead guilty!"
Jian Heng!
Blood spilled!
Full of blood that cannot be restrained by the body, it pours out in the direction of the golden platform!
“Danglang~”
Hearing the sound of the sword falling to the ground, the three hundred soldiers of Qu's family shed tears on their robes and screamed sadly:
"Congratulations to the master!"
Looking at the body that fell forward from a distance , Ying Chengyu’s eyes were full of shock and confusion.
The Qin Dynasty never required loyalty from its ministers and people, but relied on laws, rewards and punishments to build a ruling system.
As a second-generation human being, this was the first time that Ying Chengyu saw with his own eyes someone who was willing to die calmly for another person.
Ying Chengyu has long heard that there are many generous and tragic people in Yan and Zhao.
Today, Ying Chengyu finally understands what the tragedy of generosity is!
Ying Cheng was so distraught that he dismounted and kicked Qu Lang, who was standing in front of him:
“Get out!”
Angrily shouted His feet kicked him backwards half a foot, and he vomited blood.
But Qu Lang did not fight back, and the other generals and his soldiers stopped fighting. Ying Chengyu was able to reach the general Qu smoothly.
Looking at Jiang Qu whose eyes were already a little distracted, Ying Chengyuan's mood became more and more complicated.
Perhaps it was because of his loyalty that Ying Chengyu felt ashamed. Perhaps, it was Ying Chengyu who longed for such a person to defect to the Qin Dynasty and be used by the Qin Dynasty.
Perhaps Ying Chengyu did not want his death to further stimulate the Yan people's patriotic feelings.
All the emotions finally turned into a sigh:
"Report your gratitude on the golden stage, support the jade dragon and die for you!"
For Li He, this is just a way to boost morale and express his feelings. A line from a poem written out of ambition.
But for Jiang Qu and many people like Jiang Qu, this is their experience and their life!
Ying Chengyu squatted down and said gently and sincerely: "Yan Xiangqu is worthy of anyone!"
"It is a great blessing for the Yan State to have such a generous and tragic man!"
A little brilliance emerged from the depths of his eyes, and he tried hard to smile at Ying Chengyu.
Jiang Qu could already predict the outcome of the great prosperity of Qin and the destruction of Yan, and he was unable to recover.
The history books of Yan State may be burned like many small countries, and the efforts of King Yan Zhao's monarchs and ministers will also be reduced to the dust of history.
But as Ying Chengyu was the Lord of Chang'an of the Qin Dynasty and was responsible for the destruction of two countries, more people would pay attention to what he said and did, and the Qin State would not burn Ying Chengyu's records.
With Ying Chengyu's words of praise, perhaps more people will know about the golden platform in the past and the wise King Yan on the golden platform.
Jiang Qu suddenly felt that he deserved his death!
"Oh~" The weak air flow mixed with blood spurted out of the throat. After all, he was unable to express his gratitude in person. His eyes also completely lost their luster. He just stared in the direction of the Golden Platform for a long time. Close your eyes.
Ying Chengyu closed his eyes with gentle help, and said warmly: "If King Yan Zhao is really worthy of Prime Minister Yan's loyalty, he will not blame you."
"Go with peace of mind."< br>
Standing up straight, Ying Chengyu adjusted his armor, raised his hands with a bang, and shouted in a serious voice: "The Lord of Chang'an of the Great Qin Dynasty, the young master Chengyu, I send you the Prime Minister of the State of Yan!"
With Ying Chengyu taking the lead, regardless of the Qin army officers and soldiers, Regardless of his senses, they all handed him over:
"Congratulations to the Prime Minister of the State of Yan!"
The voice of a hundred thousand people resounded through the wilderness and spread to heaven and earth.
It was announced that the last minister who had been loyal to King Yan Zhao on the Golden Platform and was still serving as an official in the Kingdom of Yan had also left with King Yan Zhao.
The remnants of the old era have completely withdrawn from the world stage.
King Yan Zhao’s legacy to the Yan Kingdom has been completely lost!
Qu Lang and other soldiers endured the severe pain and knelt down on the ground, kowtowing in thanks: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an."
Ying Chengyu gently shook his head: "Mr. Yu, I am The general and the Prime Minister of Yan are their own masters, and fighting to the death is just to serve the country."
"I will respect the Prime Minister of Yan for personal reasons."
"Such a loyal and righteous man is worthy of my personal journey."
"Where does Mr. Yan want to be buried?"
Qu Lang said without hesitation: "Wuzhong Mountain !”
King Yan Zhao was not buried in Jicheng, but at the foot of Wuzhong Mountain.
Jiang Qu’s biggest wish in recent years is to be buried closer to King Yan Zhao. In this way, it will be more convenient for him to go to Jiuyou alone to find King Yan Zhao.
Then Qu Lang sighed softly: "Of course, the head of the family doesn't know whether he has the qualifications."
"If he cannot be buried in Wuzhong Mountain, the head of the family hopes to be buried back in his hometown."
After Ying Chengyu was silent for a few seconds, he said in a deep voice: "Order!"
"As a courtesy to the monarch, take the coffin to carry Prime Minister Yan, and send Prime Minister Yan back to the court as a gift."
"Send an envoy. Go to the Kingdom of Yan and ask the King of Yan to bury the Prime Minister of Yan in Wuzhong Mountain.”
"If King Yan doesn't want to..." After a pause, Ying Chengyu's voice turned cold: "Then let's stop at Ji for the time being."
"There is no need to wait, the general will arrive!"
< br>How does Ying Chengyu get to Jicheng?
He led the troops northward!
When Ying Chengyu issued such a threat, King Yan Xi had no choice.
Would you rather go to war with Qin than give a lavish burial to your loyal ministers?
How much hatred does King Yan have for his loyal ministers!
Who will still be loyal to King Yan Xi?
Qu Lang kowtowed again gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"
Ying Chengyu accepted the kowtow from Qu Lang and others, and nodded gently: "Get some rest and prepare to send Prime Minister Yan, go home.”
Walking out of the army slowly, Ying Chengyu saw that Le Xun and others who had just surrendered were pushed to the ground by the Qin army. A group of middle-aged and strong generals were howling at the moment.
Jiang Ming hurriedly explained: "They all want to commit suicide, and the general will have to control them in the end."
Ying Chengyu looked around at everyone and said warmly: "Follow me and return home. "
"It won't take long. I will take you to visit the grave of Prime Minister Yan, and I will also take you to tell King Yan."
"How many loyal people he has wronged! ”
Qin Kai's expansion of three thousand miles and the capture of five counties sounds like a very vague concept. Compared with the current map, it is an area extending from Zhangjiakou to the west, Yanqing District of the capital to the south, Shenyang to the north, and Bochuan of North Korea to the east.
Based on current archeology and research, it can be basically determined that the Yanbei Great Wall was built by Qin Kai. Qin Kai also built the 'Hout City', which was also the beginning of Shenyang's city construction. In addition, the Liaoyang area The first cities in more than ten regions including South Korea's Zhongnan-ri region and South Korea's Zhongnan-ri region have also been basically determined to be built by Qin Kai, who is a rare infrastructure madman among generals.
However, because most of Qin Kai's achievements were against foreign tribes, Qin Kai was not favored by historians. It was only used when various dynasties declared their "since ancient times" sovereignty over the northern and eastern territories, or according to textual research. It will only be mentioned when foreign races develop, or when it serves as a background for his grandson Qin Wuyang. The lack of historical data caused Qin Kai's specific achievements to be debated since the Han Dynasty, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that they reached a consensus. Cheese also made the above judgment with reference to the research results of Mr. Gu Jiegang, Professor Li Zhongyuan and other teachers as well as the results of archaeological excavations.
