My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 261: Report your favor on the golden stage, support the Jade Dragon and die for you!
Looking northeast, Jiang Qu seemed to be whispering to someone, or to himself: "Your Majesty."

"In the past, you didn't mind that I was from a humble background, but when you heard that I had some abilities, you personally came to my home and invited me to be an official."

"But in the past, I was just an ordinary farmer with a few acres of farmland and an arrogant mouth. 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 from 50 years ago into a doctor of 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 criticizes me, only encourages me."

"I remember it, I remember it clearly!"

He couldn't help but recall scenes from 50 years ago.

At that time, King Yan Zhao was already in his fifties, but he was resolute, courageous, benevolent, gentle, open-minded, and thirsty for talents.

He took Guo Wei as his teacher, respected Guo Wei's advice, made a plan to buy horse bones for a thousand gold, and built a golden platform to worship the virtuous people in 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.

Over fifty years old, as the King of Yan, he put aside his pride as a king. In order to seek talents, he even gave up his face!
He treated Wei envoys who might be talented with great courtesy and invited them 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 "Seventy cities were closed with a smile, and the momentum at that time was good at strengthening Yan" , Le Yi, one of the top ten philosophers of the Martial Arts Temple.

He had no suspicion of the defeated general of the former 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. He rewarded him generously and promoted him vigorously, so that the defeated general of the former dynasty, King Yanzhao, chased Donghu Qianli northward. Dongque Ji's family traveled two thousand miles across North Korea, opened up five counties for the Yan Kingdom, and led the construction of the Yanbei Great Wall. Eventually, it became a nightmare for foreigners, and the wise 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 support him.

Jiang Qu only needs to follow the footsteps of the wise men and move forward happily, witnessing the explosive growth of this country that was originally only a second-rate small country and leaping into the ranks of the Seven Heroes due to the concerted efforts of wise kings and wise ministers!
After thinking about it, Jiang Qu burst into tears: "Of course, 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 the Prime Minister of Yan State."

"I am really incompetent. I can only watch helplessly as I, Dayan, collapse, with no chance of recovery!"

"I'm really old and can't bear it anymore!"

The giants in the past either ran away, fled, died or were expelled. The small official who followed the sages 50 years ago has become the prime minister of the Yan Kingdom today and the 'tallest' person in the Yan Kingdom.

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!
He turned his palms inward, placed his left hand on top of his right hand, cupped his hands on the ground, and kowtowed heavily: "My lord, I am so unworthy of my kindness to you!"

Not far away, Ying Chengyu came galloping on his horse, shouting anxiously: "Rush over and stop Prime Minister Yan!"

"Guafu!"

Jiang Qu whispered: "Hold the shield and send him a certain way."

Qu Lang wiped away his tears, stood behind General Qu with a shield, and roared angrily: "Be careful of the Qin army's hidden arrows, protect the master of the family!"

More than [-] remaining family soldiers all picked up their swords and pointed them at Ying Chengyu, and ten more family soldiers held shields to protect the general around him.

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 eager for talents."

"It is better to fight for the prosperity of a country than to fight for the prosperity of the world. I, the general, can treat Prime Minister Yan favorably with the position of Jiuqing on my king's behalf."

"Don't..."

Jiang Qu didn't pay attention to Ying Chengyun, and he didn't even listen to what Ying Chengyun was saying.

Jiang Qu just hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeves, trying to maintain the most decent posture, then unsheathed his sword and placed it on 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 apologize!"

The sword is horizontal!

blood!
The blood that cannot be restrained by the body pours out in the direction of the golden platform!

"Dang bang~"

Hearing the sound of the sword falling to the ground, three hundred soldiers from the Qu family burst into tears and screamed sadly:

"Congratulations to the Patriarch!"

Looking at the body that was leaning forward from a distance, Ying Chengyu's eyes were full of shock and confusion.

Da Qin never required loyalty from its ministers and people, but relied on laws, rewards and punishments to build a ruling system.

As a 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.

Only today did Ying Chengyu finally understand what a tragic song of generosity is!

Ying Cheng was so distraught that he dismounted and kicked Qu Lang, who was standing in front of him:

"roll!"

An angry kick knocked Qu Lang backward half a foot, causing him to vomit 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.

Or maybe Ying Chengyu didn't want his death to further arouse the patriotic sentiments of the Yan people.

All the emotions finally turned into a sigh:
"Report to the king on the golden platform, and lead the jade dragon to die for the king!"

For Li He, this was just one line from a poem he wrote to boost morale and express his ambitions.

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 Yan State to have such a generous and tragic person!"

A little brilliance emerged from the depths of his eyes, and he tried hard to show a smile to 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 Chengxuan 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 Chengxuan'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.

He suddenly felt that he deserved his death!

"Hoo~" Weak air mixed with blood spurted out of his throat. After all, he was unable to express his gratitude in person, and his eyes completely lost their luster. He just stared in the direction of the Golden Platform and couldn't close his eyes for a long time.

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 in peace."

He straightened up, straightened his armor, raised his hands with a bang, and shouted in a serious voice: "The Lord of Chang'an of the Great Qin Dynasty, Young Master Chenglong, I send you to the Prime Minister of the State of Yan!"

With Ying Chengyu taking the lead, no matter how the Qin soldiers felt about General Qu, they all handed him over:
"Congratulations to the Prime Minister of the State of Yan!"

The cry of 10 people resounded through the wilderness and reached 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 Yan Kingdom 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 Chengqiao shook his head gently: "Mr. Yu, I and Prime Minister Yan are their own masters. Fighting to the death is just loyalty to the country."

"Personally, I will always respect Prime Minister Yan."

"Such a loyal and loyal man is worthy of being personally sent away by me."

"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 if he has the qualifications."

"If he cannot be buried in Wuzhongshan, the head of the family hopes to be buried back in his hometown."

After Ying Chengyu was silent for a few breaths, he said in a deep voice: "Order!"

"It is the courtesy of a noble prince to take the coffin to carry Prime Minister Yan, and to send Prime Minister Yan back to the court as a gift."

"Send an envoy to the State 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 Chengxuan's voice turned cold: "Then let's stop with Ji for the time being."

"No need to wait any longer, the general will definitely arrive!"

How does Ying Chengyu get to Jicheng?
He led his 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?

King Yan was so angry at how much he hated his loyal ministers!
Who would still be loyal to King Yan?
Qu Lang kowtowed again gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"

Ying Chengxuan accepted the kowtow from Qu Lang and others and nodded gently: "Get ready to take a rest and prepare to send Prime Minister Yan 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."

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 has he insulted!"

　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.

　　According to current archeology and research, it can be basically determined that the Yanbei Great Wall was built by Qin Kai. Qin Kai also built the 'Hucheng', which was also the beginning of Shenyang's city construction. In addition, Liaoyang area, South Korea's Zhongnanli area, etc. The first city in more than ten regions has been basically confirmed to be built by Qin Kai, who is a rare infrastructure madman among generals.

　　However, because most of Qin Kai's achievements were in battles against foreign tribes, Qin Kai was not favored by historians. It was only when various dynasties declared their "since ancient times" sovereignty over the northern and eastern borders, or when researching the development of foreign tribes, or when He was only mentioned when he served as a backdrop 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. If anyone finds anything wrong, please feel free to tell us!
