King Qin stood up and drew his sword, blood spattered three steps.
Bright red flowers bloomed on the bronze king's case.
Jing Ke's body fell heavily to the ground. The two Lang Wei warriors who had been prepared rushed to the case and restrained Jing Ke who fell to the ground.
"The car broke."
The voice of the King of Qin was as cold as frost.
"only."
Lang Wei dragged Jing Ke out of the palace, and picked up the dagger that Zhao Tuo had thrown on the ground, and looked at the young man in front of him curiously.
Zhao Tuo sat on his knees on the ground, his body upright and his eyes very calm.
He has said and done everything that needs to be said and done.
Everything that remains will be decided by the king of the case.
Behind him, the roars of the Qin officials came.
"Your Majesty, Yan Xi and Yan Dan dare to send assassins to commit murder. They should wipe out the Yan Kingdom!"
"Destroy the Yan Kingdom and overthrow the country!"
…
In the midst of the angry sound, King Qin sat down on the imperial couch again. He ignored the noisy ministers in the palace and looked directly at Zhao Tuo who was facing the case.
"Who taught you what you said about the world?"
His voice was indifferent, making it impossible to judge the emotion contained in it.
Zhao Tuo responded: "Your Majesty, no one teaches me, I only understand based on what I see and hear."
"I am the grandson of the former Pingyang Lord. He was born in the family of Zhongming Dingshi since he was a child, so he studied the history of the princes with his master."
"In my opinion, the princes have been fighting for years and the common people have suffered heavy casualties. The reason is that there are too many kings in the world, and each of them wants to attack other countries and expand their own territory. This has led to endless wars."
"If there is only one king and one voice in the world, and the people in the world have only one country, then naturally there will be no more wars, and the people can truly settle down, live and work in peace and contentment, and thrive. Therefore, I am not willing to commit an assassination with Jing Ke.
I hope that the king can rule the world and bring peace to all the people in the world."
This is Zhao Tuo’s true words.
His final break with Jing Ke was not just to save his own life.
Coming from a later generation, he knew very well how important a unified country was.
Within Liuhe, the emperor's land.
It wades through the quicksand in the west and ends in the north in the south.
There is the East China Sea to the east and Daxia to the north.
Wherever people go, there is no one who is not loyal to him.
Not only the expansion of territory, but also the fact that all people in the world can unite under the leadership of one voice, their power will be far greater than before.
Zhao Tuo knew that judging from the current situation, even if King Qin was really assassinated, Qin would probably be able to unify and successfully annex the six countries.
It's just that it will take more time, and I don't know how long it will take to complete this great cause of unification.
But, there is not enough time!
Zhao Tuo knew very well that dark clouds were gathering on the northern grasslands.
The tribe called the Xiongnu is becoming increasingly powerful. They now not only own the vast northern grasslands, but also occupy the Henan area north of Guanzhong. Even the Northern Great Wall built by King Wuling of Zhao is under the control of this group of nomads.
Yinshan, Yangshan, Beijia...
It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is fertile and wild for thousands of miles.
The Huns who occupy this place will become increasingly powerful. In the near future, they will destroy Donghu, expel the Yueshi, conquer the countries in the Western Regions, and establish a huge grassland empire.
Then, they will set their sights on the south, the land of China.
In his previous life, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was trapped on Baishan Mountain and begged for mercy in humiliation.
The princess of the Han family went north to the Hu region and dedicated herself to beg for peace.
Han and Hungarians fought bloody battles for hundreds of years before they could feel proud and proud.
Among them, I don’t know how many people died, and I don’t know how much blood was shed.
This was the situation that was formed after Meng Tian drove the Xiongnu to the north and severely damaged them, and the Han family quickly unified China.
If King Qin is killed, the unification war will continue to be delayed, and Henan will not be recaptured in time to attack the Xiongnu hard.
Then the Xiongnu will definitely be stronger than the original history.
Can a divided China withstand the powerful Hun Empire?
Zhao Tuo didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to try.
So even if he died here, he still had to stop Jing Ke.
King Qin cannot die!
Qin Shihuang must unify the world!
King Qin looked deeply at Zhao Tuo.
The theory of grand unification has been around for a long time. Whether it is Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, Mohism or other schools of thought, they actually all have theories related to grand unification, but they are all different.
Such a theory is not unusual in itself. If the words just now were said by an old man who is used to everything in the world, such as Wei Liao, Li Si, and King Qin, they would not be too surprised.
But the person who said this happened to be a young man. Judging from his age, he was not much different from Fusu.
Thinking of Fusu, King Qin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
We are the same age, but our opinions and knowledge are so different. It's really amazing.
Thoughts were surging in King Qin's heart, but his face remained calm. He said calmly: "But Qin and Zhao have been enemies for generations. Back then, Lord Wu'an killed hundreds of thousands of Zhao people. Today, I have even destroyed your country, Sheji, Zhao State, and even killed many people."
, you have relatives and relatives. As a member of the Zhao clan, don’t you hate me at all?”
Zhao Tuo looked calm.
"Your Majesty, my parents did not die at the hands of the Qin people, but at the hands of the King of Zhao. I have no enmity with the Qin State."
"As for the ancestral temple and the state, as I just said to Jing Ke. How many princes and states in the world have perished? Even the emperor of that week perished. What does the mere ancestral temple of Zhao state mean in the face of this unified trend?"
A faint smile appeared on the corner of King Qin's mouth: "That's why you deliberately set the fire and reported the traitor at night so that I could be prepared for this assassination in advance."
"only."
"I believe that it will be much better for the king to unify the world than to fight among the princes."
Zhao Tuo's clear voice echoed in the hall.
All the officials in the palace looked at the back of the kneeling young man in surprise.
This young man has brought them too many surprises today.
"This boy's knowledge is so extraordinary, he will definitely achieve great things in the future."
Lieutenant Qin Zhibang, Wei Liao, who was standing in front of the hall, stroked his white beard under his chin and sighed: "Li Changshi, you have discovered a good talent this time."
The elder Shi Lisi on the side also nodded in agreement. He originally thought that the young man came to report the rape that night just to save his life.
After all, Qin Law has a saying that those who accuse traitors will be spared and will be rewarded.
But he didn't expect this young man to be so knowledgeable.
As a confidant of King Qin, Li Si knew very well.
King Qin was moved by the young man in front of him.
"Wang Li, please take him down. There will be rewards and punishments for this matter."
"only."
As the king's order was issued, Lang Wei and Wang Li who were waiting at the side stretched out their hands to Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo saluted King Qin again, stood up and followed Wang Li out of the palace.
Wherever he passed, all the officials of Qin State paid attention to him.
This young man's face was deeply etched into his mind.
"Your Majesty, the Yan State's plot to assassinate someone is a heinous crime and should be punished!"
As soon as Zhao Tuo left the palace, the ministers in the palace once again spoke out against Yan.
King Qin glanced at the agitated ministers, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
The reason why he continued to rehearse the drama of assassinating Qin after knowing that Jing Ke would plot an assassination was not only because the King of Qin had the confidence to control everything.
It was even more because he wanted to turn this matter into an excuse to defeat Yan.
When Jing Ke assassinated Qin, it was Yan who provoked him first!
If Qin destroyed Yan, it would be the king of Yan himself who was to blame.
After this incident, the Qin State will be filled with righteous indignation, the public sentiment will be turbulent, and the destruction of Yan will be inevitable.
Wei, Chu, and Qi also did not dare to support Yan in this situation.
In this matter, although the risk is great, the profit is also great.
Not to mention King Qin, this time he met a young man who attracted his attention.
King Qin looked solemn and declared with majestic words.
