The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 121 Yan Palace Coup
"The State of Qin should not be so eager to launch troops against the State of Yan, so during this period, it is the time left for the State of Yan!"

Prince Dan said so.As for whether King Yan agreed to implement the new law, he did not say clearly what to do.

According to what Han Feizi knew, the king of Yan had no strategy, but Prince Dan was quite famous in Yan, and all the ministers in the court were polite to Prince Dan.

Shaking his head slightly, Han Feizi no longer thought about these things, and then discussed with Prince Dan the future reforms of Yan State.

"The changes made by Yan State can be imitated by Qin State."

Han Feizi looked at Prince Dan.

"Why?"

Prince Dan asked.

"The State of Qin is located in the west and has a harsh environment, while the State of Yan is located in the north, similar to the State of Qin, but State of Yan is better. After all, the State of Qin has already implemented reforms and has learned lessons from its predecessors. The State of Yan only needs to adapt to them. Yan State should make corresponding changes, and as for the others, it can be followed."

After hearing this, Prince Dan was silent for a moment. It was not what Prince Dan wanted to imitate the Qin State, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was the only way.

After all, the Yan State had become a weak country, with unfavorable military fronts, incompetent government, and high officials and dignitaries who were obsessed with glory and wealth and could not be reused.

It seems that only the heavy code can be used to change the country of Yan.

"good!"

Prince Dan nodded, agreeing to Han Feizi's proposal.

"And during the reform, I am afraid that the interests of many nobles will be affected. I am afraid that there will be no danger of Qin's military attack by then, and there will also be the danger of nobles defecting!"

"Of course Gu Zhong is also prepared for this!"

Qin's reforms have been thoroughly analyzed by other countries in order to learn from their experience. However, the reforms can only be carried out in the Legalist way, otherwise they will not be like Qin.

Therefore, at the time of the reform, all other countries were already aware of the difficulties Qin encountered.

"In this case, I will start preparing for the reform of Yan State..."

Han Feizi had just arrived in the State of Yan and was unaware of many of the shortcomings of the State of Yan. Therefore, he needed time to understand the situation of the State of Yan so that he could adapt to the local situation and not blindly take the methods of the Qin State and cut off his feet to fit the shoes.

Prince Dan naturally fully supported this and sent swordsmen to follow him to protect Han Feizi's safety. The swordsmen could be arranged to do many things.

…………

When Prince Dan arrived at Tian Guang's residence, he saw Tian Guangzheng leading an ordinary man with a sad face to greet him.

"But Jing Ke?"

When Prince Dan saw the man, he immediately stepped forward and helped him up with his hands.

"Back to the prince, it's me..."

Jing Ke was already a disciple of Prince Dan, so he could become a minister.

"Prince, please..."

Tian Guang led the way, and when the three of them sat down, Prince Dan looked at Jing Ke and said, "I think Jing Qing already knows the intention of coming alone this time..."

Jing Ke on the side nodded slightly, with a sincere look on his face, and said: "When Jing Ke was in trouble, it was the prince who helped him. Now the prince is in trouble, how can I just sit idly by and ignore it?!"

Jing Ke said seriously: "Please give me the prince's orders, even if it means death!"

"Not at all!"

Prince Dan quickly waved his hand and looked at Jing Ke, who was extremely respectful. Prince Dan and Tian Guang looked at each other and then told Jing Ke everything they had planned.

After hearing this, Jing Ke's face showed a look of shock, "Assassination of Qin Wangzheng..."

However, Prince Dan shook his head again and said: "This plan has been changed. It is not a wise move to assassinate the King of Qin!"

Prince Dan's sudden change of words made Tian Guang frown, but he did not refute.

"Qin's army will not arrive quickly, but Jing Qing's purpose is indeed to go to Qin to offer his land, and strive to form an alliance with Qin, making an agreement that Qin will not attack Yan within ten years!"

After hearing what Prince Dan said, Jing Ke and Tian Guang knew that Prince Dan really wanted to sacrifice his land in order to survive, but was the agreement with Qin really reassuring?

Just when Tian Guang and Jing Ke were confused, they heard Prince Dan continue to say: "If the King of Qin refuses, we will assassinate the King of Qin again at that time!"

Hearing that he still had a chance to survive, Jing Ke naturally would not refuse.When Tian Guang heard this, he also thought that Prince Dan's decision at this time was safer, so he nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Jing Ke suddenly said: "I wonder when the prince plans to let me set off? If it is not urgent, I would like to wait a few more days."

"Oh, why?"

"I have a good friend. If he goes to Qin with me, he will be more confident of success!"

"That's okay...that's okay!"

…………

Bai Zhi stood on the sycamore tree in Huizhi Palace, looking at the five-year-old young master Fusu below. His thoughts were racing, but he thought of things far away.

"Now, the Qin State has destroyed South Korea, and Li Si, under the constraints of King Qin Yingzheng, has made another Qin law that can be adapted to the people of other countries. In this way, the destiny of the unified Qin State in the future will definitely change!"

Thinking of this, he felt more and more relaxed, but he was always vigilant. A powerful empire could quickly decay under the rule of a faint king.

Therefore, he needs to ensure that Fusu can become the second emperor!
"However, at this time..."

He felt something in his heart, and his figure flashed and appeared in Zhangtai Palace.

But he saw Ying Zheng, who had grown a beard, and was reviewing documents. He was tall and tall. Even though he was the king of Qin, he did not forget his martial arts and often practiced it.

Therefore, although King Yingzheng of Qin was already in his 30s at this time, he did not have any physical diseases and was as energetic as when he was a teenager.

"Master is here!"

King Qin Yingzheng felt something strange next to him. He looked up and saw Bai Zhi, with a smile on his face.

"I wonder when the king plans to mobilize troops again?"

Bai Zhi asked.

"It will take a while..."

King Yingzheng of Qin put down the ink pen in his hand, and then said: "Wei and Han need to be governed. If you are not careful, I am afraid it will arouse the intentions of Qin's enemies, especially the hidden nobles..."

"At the same time, I plan to destroy Yan, and Yan State has an alliance with Qi State. I am afraid that when I attack Yan, Qi State will help me, so I need to alienate the two countries..."

"In other words, if Yan is destroyed, how many years will it take to ascend?"

"Exactly! About three or four years."

Ying Zheng nodded.I don't know why the divine bird asked this, and there was a look of doubt on his face.

At this time, Bai Zhi remembered a famous event in history, namely Jing Ke's assassination of Qin.

I don’t know whether the same historical events will occur in the changed history, and whether the fate of some people will change because of the changes in the fate of a few people.

"However, even if Jing Ke tries to assassinate Qin, he will still appear. Presumably the King of Qin will not be too embarrassed at this time!"

After all, after Bai Zhi's training, King Qin Yingzheng at this time was physically strong and possessed martial arts skills. Jing Ke was just an assassin, capable of killing in ten steps, but his own martial arts skills were not very high.

Bai Zhi told King Qin Yingzheng to continue handling political affairs, and then he sat aside.

"what?"

However, a moment later, Ying Zheng, who was dealing with political affairs, suddenly let out a confused groan.

"The State of Yan actually offered its land to seek peace!"

Ying Zheng suddenly whispered.

Bai Zhi's attention was immediately attracted, and he immediately looked at Ying Zheng.

"The State of Yan wants to send an envoy here, and voluntarily dedicate the land of Dukang of the State of Yan to Qin, and beg Qin not to attack the State of Yan!"

Ying Zheng explained, and then added: "But this seems good!"

After pondering for a moment, King Qin Yingzheng explained: "After all, the Qin State has not wanted to use troops anymore in recent years, so I plan to accept the Yan State's request and accept the land of the Yan State's governor."

"After four or five years, find another reason to attack Yan and destroy Yan!"

"Can!"

Bai Zhi nodded, then dodged and left Zhangtai Palace.

In the Huizhi Palace, Bai Zhi's figure appeared again. At this time, he was already sure in his heart that Jing Ke's assassination of Qin would still happen, but he didn't know whether it would develop according to the original trajectory.

…………

In the State of Yan, by the Yishui River, chariots were parked on the road by the water, and there were luxurious curtains and flags fluttering, and there were soldiers standing on both sides.

At this time, an ordinary-looking man was seen coming from a distance and came to the bank of Yishui. He saw Prince Dan sitting on the silk carpet and saluted respectfully:
"Jing Ke, I have met the prince..."

Jing Ke was dressed in the embroidered uniform of the Yan state, with a sword on his waist. His face was resolute but sad.

He knew that no matter what the outcome of his trip to Qin this time, he would not be spared.

If he were to assassinate Qin, he would definitely die.If he does not assassinate Qin, he will stay in Qin. When Prince Dan of Yan succeeds, his life will have no meaning in continuing to exist.

"Jing Qing..."

Prince Dan stretched out his hand to invite Jing Ke to sit opposite him. On the table, fine wine and delicacies were already placed.

"Thank you, Prince!"

Jing Ke didn't refuse and sat down directly, then picked up the wine and drank a full glass. "Didn't Jing Qing say before that he needed to wait for his friends? I wonder if Jing Qing's friends can arrive at this time?"

Prince Dan looked towards the direction Jing Ke came from, but saw that there was no one else but Jing Ke himself, so he was confused.

"Not yet! Still on the way!"

Jing Ke said with some disappointment, but he knew that he could not wait for his friend, because the certificate of Yan State had been sent to Qin State, and the envoy of Yan State needed to arrive as soon as possible.

The autumn wind is bleak and the chill is rising.

However, at this moment, a beautiful woman suddenly came from a distance, and beside her, there was a child of one or two years old.

Her eyes were like water, her tears were like pearls, and she looked at Jing Ke's lonely back with a look of reluctance.

Seeing this, Prince Dan raised his hand to tell the soldiers of Yan State to retreat further, and he himself also left the table.

"Good man..."

The beautiful woman led the child to Jing Ke's side and looked at Jing Ke's face greedily, with tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Jing Ke couldn't bear it, and still looked indifferent. He looked at the beautiful woman and said: "When I go this time, I may say goodbye. The prince has a life-saving grace from Jing Ke, which is like reincarnation. Jing Ke once said that he would repay with his life..."

"Loyalty to the emperor and love for a beauty cannot be done both..."

Jing Ke raised his hand and gently stroked the beautiful woman's hair, then his eyes fell on the child beside him.

The child neither cried nor fussed, but looked up at the man in front of him with his big eyes open, as if wondering who the man was.

The beautiful woman's heart seemed to be cut by a sharp knife, but she had no choice but to shed tears and sobbed: "It was a bumpy road, thousands of miles away, to the Yan country, but before it was warm, it went to the enemy country again. We say goodbye here, and I don't know when I will see you again. When we meet, I will remember the love of my beloved in my heart. I only hope to see you again in the next life and spend the rest of my life with you!"

After saying that, the beautiful woman was already crying and couldn't help herself. She could only look at the child in her arms and said: "Please two people give the child a name..."

Jing Ke: "..."

Jing Ke was silent for a moment, looking at the dimming horizon in the distance. The bright red sunset on the other side seemed not to be able to illuminate it.

"A hundred years of conquest, the pain of war, I hope my children will no longer suffer the pain of war..."

"Let's name it 'Tianming'!"

At this point, the beautiful woman murmured, "At dawn..."

Then, she handed Tianming into the hands of a maid and looked at Jing Ke, saying: "Tianming..., my beloved, my beloved is gone, how can I survive!"

After saying that, he saw the beautiful woman leaping up and immediately jumped into the Yi Shui on the side!

The water ripples in all directions.The thin figure fell into the water and was swallowed up instantly without making any sound!
"don't want!!"

Jing Ke's expression changed greatly, but even with his martial arts skills, he could not stop his wife who had death intentions.

Prince Dan in the distance noticed the situation here and quickly sent people to jump into the water to rescue people.

However, more than a dozen soldiers went into the water to search for several moments, but no one was found.

Prince Dan came to Jing Ke and said quickly: "Don't worry, Jing Qing, Gu will definitely be rescued..."

However, a moment later, the soldier who went into the water to save others came forward and reported, "Go back to the prince, she was weighed down by a stone and her body was nowhere to be found!"

Prince Dan: "..."

On the side, a child who seemed to be telepathic suddenly burst into tears, and the shrill cries echoed on Yishui, making anyone who heard them cry.

The cold wind is howling, the water is gurgling, and the yellow leaves are falling.

Prince Dan could only say: "Don't worry, Jing Qing, Gu will regard Tianming as his own son and take him with him to teach him!"

Jing Ke looked dazed at this time, his eyes were blank, looking at the water that had returned to calm again, his whole body exuded an aura of depression.

After a long while, Jing Ke nodded slightly, reluctantly looking at the child Tianming, and then walked to the car beside him.

At the same time, many people beside Prince Dan looked at Jing Ke's back and bid farewell in silence.

However, amidst the sound of the wind, a miserable song came, "The wind is rustling and the water is cold. A strong man will never come back once he is gone. Explore the tiger's den and enter the Jiao Palace, look up to the sky and exhale and it will turn into a white rainbow..."

At this time, everyone who heard it was in tears except Prince Dan.

…………

Ten days after Jing Ke left Qin.

Yan State, Jicheng.

Prince's mansion.

Prince Dan sat in front of the table with a solemn expression.In the gorgeous palace, there are tables placed on both sides. Behind the tables, there are people sitting full of people.

Among them were the nobles of the Yan State in gorgeous clothes and the generals of the Yan State in armor. Although there were fine wines and delicacies on the table, no one ate them.

Their faces were solemn, as if they were waiting for something.

After a moment, I saw a soldier coming in quickly. He immediately knelt down and reported, "Tell the prince that the king has returned to the palace!"

"good!"

Prince Dan immediately stood up from the table with an excited expression, then looked around and said loudly: "Everyone, great things are happening right in front of you. After success, you will be able to get high-ranking officials, generous salaries, glory and wealth at your fingertips!"

"The king is incompetent. The Yan State is getting weaker and weaker under your rule. How can it continue to perish casually with the Qin State surrounding it?"

"I will serve as King of Yan, implement new laws, enrich the people and strengthen the country, and you will all be heroes!"

Hearing what Prince Dan said, everyone in the palace looked excited and said in unison: "The big event will happen today!"

……

In Jicheng, under the cover of night, at the beginning of Haishi, there were no more pedestrians on the streets, and the entire city was shrouded in darkness.

The moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and only occasionally showed its corner, shedding a faint silver glow.

In the silence, bursts of noise suddenly came. If you listened carefully, you would find that what came to your ears was the sound of horses' hooves and soldiers' armor clashing.

"Open the palace gate!"

The palace of King Yan was guarded by Yan soldiers, but when he saw soldiers approaching from outside the city, he immediately opened the palace door.

A large number of soldiers poured into the Yan Palace, and then quickly controlled the palace gate and replaced the city defense.

"who?!"

However, the soldiers who entered the Yan Palace were quickly discovered, but before the palace guard could say anything, he was stabbed into the chest with a long sword, and the bright red blood dyed the white marble floor red.

"kill!"

Suddenly, the sound of killing was heard in the Yan Palace, and the dark Yan Palace was quickly illuminated by the fire.

"Where is the King at this time?!"

"In the harem!"

In an instant, a large number of soldiers poured into the harem, but they were well-trained and did not break into the palace at will. They determined the direction and moved forward.

"kill!"

"What happened?!"

At this moment, in a magnificent palace, King Yan Xi was lying on the bed, and next to him was a fair and enchanting body.

King Yan looked puzzled when he heard the noise, and immediately scolded and asked.

The palace maid guarding the palace heard this and hurriedly went out to check. However, the next moment, she saw the palace door being knocked open from the outside, and then a large number of soldiers broke into it.

"Who are you?! I wonder if this is the harem of a widow?!"

"Your Majesty, make atonement!"

General Yan, who broke into the palace, immediately bowed his head slightly and apologized.However, at the next moment, he suddenly raised his head, stared at Yan Wangxi, and said: "Your Majesty is incompetent in governing the country, please ask your Majesty to take the throne of Prince Dan!"

…………

The sun is rising, the sun is high.

A new day has come again, but at this time, Jicheng, the capital of Yan State, is not as noisy as before.

At this time, there were a large number of soldiers walking on the streets, and some dignitaries and official residences in the city were surrounded by soldiers, and the former nobles among them were also reduced to prisoners.

There was even a strong smell of blood coming from some mansions!

But in the Palace of King Yan, on the throne where King Yan once sat, there was actually a different figure at this time.

"Prince Dan!"

Below, there were already many officials and dignitaries standing there. They looked at Prince Dan, who was sitting upright and wearing the royal uniform of King Yan, with shock on their faces.

After a moment, they immediately understood something, with a look of respect on their faces, and then they shouted together, "I have met the king!"

Prince Dan looked at the ministers below with a calm face. He was silent for a long time, and then said in a majestic voice: "No!"

Then he added: "My father is not feeling well and cannot bear the affairs of the state, so he has retired to the harem to live a prosperous life!"

Prince Dan stared at the reactions of everyone below, while on the other side, the generals looked excited, looking at Prince Dan...Yan Wangdan above, their eyes full of expectation.

"I succeeded to the throne of King Yan, but I was saddened by the weakness of the Yan State. I often mourned late at night and thought about strategies to strengthen the country. From today on, the Yan State should implement new laws..."
