abstract
The story of the chivalrous man stabbing the king of Qin has been handed down from generation to generation, which has become the theme of countless aesthetic works and is an immortal myth of our nation embodying heroism and idealism. Jing Ke's generous elegy and unswerving heroic feelings have always been lingering feelings in our national community, which is really a "thousand-year love affair". However, there have always been different opinions about the political gains and losses of stabbing Qin. It is one thing to affirm Jing Ke's courage, integrity and sacrifice in resisting violence, but it is another to review the gains and losses of Yan Taizi Dan's decision-making. Today, we relive the story of Jing Ke stabbing the king of Qin, not only to learn a kind of courage and justice from it, but also to reflect on the wisdom of advancing the cause and cultivate the talents and qualities of pragmatic politicians.
original text
Yan Taizi Dan was born in Qin and died in. Seeing that Qin destroyed the six countries, the soldiers came to Xiao in danger, fearing that disaster would happen and Taizi Dan would suffer. He said that his teacher Zhong Wu said, "Yan is different from Qin. May the teacher be lucky to make it. " Wu Dui said, "Qin is all over the world, threatening Han, Wei and Zhao, but north of Yishui, it has not yet been decided. Why criticize Ling's resentment? " The prince said, "But what is the reason?" The teacher said, "Please come in and have a look."
Living in one room, General Fan died of Qin's words, and the prince allowed it. A teacher advised Wu Shuo, "No way. The tyranny of the king of Qin and his resentment towards Yan are chilling enough. The general cares! Hunger and meat is a road, and disaster will be weak! Although there are management and constraints, it is impossible to make plans. May your report send General Fan to Xiongnu to kill him. Please talk about Shanxi in the west, Qi Chu in the south and Khan in the north, and then you can make a profit. " Prince Taizi Dan said, "The plan of a teacher has been going on for a long time, and I'm afraid it won't work for a while. Not alone. General Fu Fan is trapped in the world and belongs to Dan. Dan was not forced, but abandoned the poor friend Xiongnu when Dan died. A teacher is more worried. " Zhong Wu said, "If Yan has Mr. Tian Guang, he is both wise and brave, so you can work with him." The prince said, can the teacher be Miss Abel Tamata? "Wu Yong said," respect your promise. When he saw Tian Guang, he said to the prince, "I hope to establish a Yu Xiansheng state." Tian Guang said, "Respect the teacher and emphasize the road". This is a manufacturing problem.
The prince knelt down to greet him, but he behaved himself and knelt down to brush the seat. Mr. Tian sat down and there was no one around. The prince avoided his watch and asked, "Yan and Qin do not coexist. I hope you pay attention. " Tian Guang said, "I heard that Miracle is in its prime, thousands of miles away. When it fails, this is the first step. Today, the prince was excited by the light. I didn't know that my essence had disappeared. Although, light cannot be used to lack national affairs. Anything that is good for Jing Ke can be done. " The prince said, "May you give it to Jing Ke because of your husband." Tian Guang said, "Keep your promise." Get up and rush out at once. The prince saw him to the door and said, "What happened in Danbao, what your husband said, is also a national event. I hope your husband won't let it out. " Tian Guang smiled and said, "Promise."
When he met Jing Ke, he said, "Yan knows that light is good for children. Today, the prince heard about the splendor and wealth, but he didn't know that I was out of shape. Fortunately, he taught him,' Yan Qin does not coexist'. Please pay attention. " It's the first step for a prince to steal light from the outside. I hope the first step is the prince in the palace. "Jing Ke said," I really hope to teach you. " Tian Guang said, "Just hearing about the trip of the elders will not make people doubt. Today, the prince said,' What you said is also a national event. I hope you won't let it out. "It's prince yi guang. I suspect that my husband is exercising, not a knight. " I want to commit suicide to wake Jing Ke up and say, "If only I could be more anxious than the prince, I would say I'm dead and I wouldn't make it clear." He died of suicide.
When I met the prince, I said Tian Guang was dead, but I didn't say anything. The prince bowed down again and cried on his knees. After a while, he said, "If Dan asks Mr. Tian to be silent, he wants to achieve something big. If Mr. Tian insists on death, how dare he be Dan? " Jing Ke sat down, and the prince bowed from the table and said, "Mr. Tian didn't know that Dan was corrupt, so he wanted to do something first, so he mourned Yan today and didn't abandon his loneliness. Today's Qin has a greedy heart, but it is not enough. It is not the best place in the world, it is the king of the ocean, and its meaning is not satisfactory. Today, the Qin Dynasty has conquered King Koryo, made full use of his land, and sent troops to invade Chu in the south and Zhao in the north. Wang Jian took hundreds of thousands of people to Linzhang, Yeh and Li Xin to Taiyuan and Yunzhong. If you don't support Qin, he will become a minister. If you become a minister, it will be a disaster for Yan. Yan is small and weak, and the number is trapped in the soldiers. Today, the whole country is not enough to be A Qin. The ministers served Qin and dared not follow. Dan's private plan foolishly thought that he would win the world warriors sincerely, so that he could benefit from the Qin Dynasty. The king of Qin is greedy for money and gets what he wants. Sincerely rob the king of Qin, so as to know that the princes invaded. It would be great if Cao Mo and Qi Huangong were together. You can't, so kill it. General Peter is a good soldier, civil strife, and his subjects are suspicious. In the meantime, the princes and princes had to cooperate, and their compensation for breaking the Qin Dynasty was about to be carried out. This Dan is willing, but I don't know why he was appointed, but Jing Qing will pay attention. " After a long time, Jing Ke said, "I'm afraid I can't do anything great in this country." The prince nodded in front of him. He didn't ask for anything. Then say yes. So Jing Ke was honored as Shangqing, and he gave up the house. Every day, the prince asks questions about foreign objects in prison, and he gets into the car and rides a beautiful woman. Jing Ke can do whatever he wants.
For a long time, Jing Ke did nothing. Wang Jian, the general of the Qin Dynasty, defeated Zhao, captured the king of Zhao and occupied his land. He moved slightly north to the southern border of Yan. When Taizi Dan was afraid, he asked Jing Qing, "Qin Bing crossed Yishui at dusk, but he has to wait for a long time. How can he get it?" Jing Qing said, "My prince says I like to be praised. If you don't believe in this trip, Qin will not be humble. My husband, General Fan, and the King of Qin bought a thousand pounds of gold and a thousand cities. If I can get General Fan's head, I will present it to the King of Qin with Yan Du Kang, and the King of Qin will say that I will meet the minister, and I will repay the Prince. " The prince said, "General Fan came to Dantian because he was poor. Dantian could not bear to harm his elders with his own private interests. I am willing to worry more. "
Knowing that the King of Qin could not bear it, Jing Ke confided in Fan, saying, "Qin met all the generals deeply. Parents and clans were killed. I heard that I bought the heads of generals, Jin Jin and Wan Jia. What would you do? " General Fan cried bitterly. "Every time I think about it, it hurts my bones. I don't know what to say."
He said: "There is a saying today that can solve the problem of Yan State and avenge the general." Van Yuqi said, "Why?" Jing Ke said, "If you want to get the general's head to offer Qin, the king of Qin will be happy and be good at meeting the officials. I will put my sleeve on my left hand and my right hand on my chest, but the general's revenge will be repaid and the shame of Yan Jianling will be removed. Is the general interested? " Fan leaned on his wrist and said, "I grind my teeth day and night, and now I will learn to teach." Suicide. When the prince heard about it, he rushed to it and cried on the body. He was very sad. Now, there is nothing to do, but I accept the model and seal it for the first time.
So, the prince asked for the dagger of the world in advance, got the dagger of Mrs. Zhao, and took a hundred gold, so that the workers could quench it with medicine to test people, and everyone would die. Is to send Jing Ke. Qin Wuyang, a warrior of the State of Yan, was twelve years old and killed countless people. People dare not look down upon him. Is to let Qin Wuyang be the deputy. Jing Ke is waiting to keep pace with the world. Its people live in the distant future, but it is reserved. It has not been sent yet. The prince was late, suspected of remorse, and asked, "Time is running out. Isn't Jing Qing unintentional? " Dan, please ask Qin Wuyang to go first. "Jing Ke was furious and scolded Prince Bai:" Those who go today and don't look back will be ruined! I'm going to Qiang Qin with a dagger, so I'll stay with you and treat you as a guest. The prince is late today, so please resign. "So.
Both the prince and the guests who knew about it received white gifts. To Yishui, both ancestors and Tao. Gao Jianli strikes the floor, Jing Ke and sings. All the scholars cried in order to change their voices. He walked in front and sang: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone forever." Back to the voice of feathers, scholars are all? Eyes, hair in the crown. So Jing Ke got out of the car and finally ignored it.
As soon as I arrived in Qin, I took my daughter's money and left the son of Qin's favorite. Wei Jia first said to the King of Qin: "The Prince of Yan is really afraid of the power of the King of Qin, and dare not dispatch troops to repel the King of Qin. He hoped that all the ministers in the country would rank among the princes and pay tribute as counties, so that he could guard the ancestral temple of the late king. I dare not confess. I want to behead Fan and present the map of Governor Yankang. The letter was sealed by the prince and sent to the court so that the messenger could hear the king's words. Only the king ordered it. "
The king of Qin was overjoyed when he heard about it. This is a royal costume, set up nine guests, and see the Yan messenger Xianyang Palace. Jing Ke received a letter from Fan and Qin Wuyang received a map box. To your majesty. Qin Wuyang became pale and frightened to disgrace, and his ministers accused him one after another. Jing Ke smiled at Wuyang. The former was Xie Yue: "I have never seen the barbarian son of heaven in the north, so I am excited. I hope your majesty will borrow less and be better. " The king of Qin said, "Get up and bring the map that Wuyang is holding." I have taken pictures and sent pictures, but the pictures are very poor. I saw the dagger. Because the left hand holds the sleeve of the king of Qin and the right hand holds the dagger to resist. Before he reached the body, the king of Qin was shocked. From the beginning, he never had sleeves. Draw the sword, the sword is long, and mix with the room. In a hurry, the sword is tied and can't be pulled out. Jing Ke chased the king of Qin, and the king of Qin returned to the column. The ministers were shocked, and in a fright, they lost their senses. Qin Fagong, who serves the ministers in the temple, is not allowed to dominate the state affairs. All the card shark soldiers belong to His Royal Highness Chen. Unless there is a edict, they can't go there. If you are in a hurry, it is better to call for soldiers. Jing Ke chased the king of Qin, but he was in a hurry and could not fight, but fought with his hands. It's time to treat Xia Wuqie. Give him a medicine bag. The king of Qin is still marching, and he is in a hurry. I don't know what to do. He said to the left and right, "The king has a sword! Wang negative sword! " Then he pulled it out and hit Jing Ke, breaking his left thigh. Jing Ke abandoned it and led his dagger to stab the king of Qin, but missed, hitting the upright post. The king of Qin hit the cave again and was beaten eight times. When he knew something was wrong, he leaned against the post and smiled. He stood on his head and scolded him, saying, "Those who don't do things want to rob with their lives, and they must make a contract to repay the prince." Jing Ke left and right before beheading, and the king of Qin was dazzled for a long time. As far as merit is concerned, there is a difference between appreciating a minister and sitting. And gave Xia Wuqie 200 pieces of gold, saying, "Love me if you don't have it, but give it to me in a medicine bag."
As a result, the Qin dynasty was furious with Yan, and the soldiers became more loyal to Zhao, and ordered Wang Jianjun to attack Yan. In October, Yan was pulled out. Yan, Taizi Dan, etc. They all led their elite soldiers to Liaodong. Li Xin, the general of Qin Dynasty, chased the prince, and the king was in a hurry. He killed Taizi Dan with Wang Jiaji and wanted to dedicate it to Qin. Fu Qin invaded and attacked it. When he died at the age of five, he destroyed the state of Yan, the prince was happy, and Qin Wei was the world.
Later, Jing Ke, a guest, met with a blow from the Emperor of Qin, but he avenged Yan with a blow, and died after he disappeared.

Yan Taizi Dan was taken hostage in Qin State and fled back to Yan State. Seeing that Qin was going to annex the six countries, it approached Xiao again. He was very worried about disaster, so he said to his teacher, Chongwu, "Yan and Qin are at odds. I hope the teacher can help him do something." Wu Qin replied, "Qin has a vast territory and its influence is all over the world. If Korea, Zhao and Wei are threatened by force again, the situation of Yan State north of Yishui will be difficult to decide. Why did you offend Qin because of the humiliation of Qin? " The prince said, "What can we do?" A teacher said, "Please let me think about it."
After a while, General Fan fled from Qin to Yan, and the prince took him in. The teacher advised the prince, "You can't do this. The king of Qin is vicious and has always held a grudge against Yan, which is enough to make people tremble with fear, what's more, he knows that General Fan is here! It's like throwing meat on the road where a hungry tiger passes, and disaster is inevitable. I think even if Guan Zhong and Yan Ying are near-re-embodiment, there is nothing they can do. Prince, you'd better send General Fan to Xiongnu quickly, so as not to let the wind out. Please let me go west to unite Sanjin, south to unite Qi and Chu, and north to make peace with Xiongnu, and then I can deal with Qin. " Prince Taizi Dan said: "The teacher's plan is protracted, and my heart is in a mess and I am worried to death." I'm afraid I can't wait a moment. Besides, this is not the only problem. General Fan came to me because he was desperate. How can I abandon my poor friend and send him to Xiongnu because of the threat of Qin? Teacher, it's time for me to work hard. You have to find another way. " Wu Ji said, "There was a Mr. Tian Guang in Yan State. This man is far-sighted, brave and calm. You might as well discuss it with him. " Prince Taizi Dan said, "I hope you can introduce me, ok?" Wu Ji said, "All right." So Wu Ji went to see Tian Guang and said, "The prince wants to discuss state affairs with his husband." Tian Guang said, "Yes." So I visited the prince.
The prince knelt down to meet Tian Guang, walked backwards to show him the way, and knelt down to clean the table for Tian Guang. When Tian Guang sat down and everyone left, the prince left and asked Tian Guang, "Yan and Qin are not at peace. I hope Mr. Wang Can will try his best to find a solution to this problem. " Tian Guang said: "I heard that a good horse can fly thousands of miles a day when it is young and strong. But when it is old and exhausted, even the worst horse can run ahead of it. Now the prince has heard that I am in my prime, but he doesn't know that my energy is exhausted now. Speaking of which, I dare not delay national affairs. My good friend Jing Ke can undertake this mission. " The prince said, "I hope I can get to know Jing Ke through my husband, can I?" Tian Guang said, "All right." Say that finish got up and went out. The prince sent him to the door and warned him, "What I told you, what your husband just said, is a national event. I hope your husband won't reveal it. " Tian Guang smiled down and said, "Good."
Tian Guang bent down to look at Jing Ke and said to him, "I have a deep friendship with you, and everyone knows it. Now the prince only heard that I was in my prime, but he didn't know that my health was not that good. Fortunately, I was taught by him to say' Yan Qin is not harmonious'. I hope Mr. Wang can try his best to find a way. I have never regarded you as an outsider, so I recommend you to the prince. I hope you can go to the prince's residence. " Jing Ke said, "Yes, sir. Tian Guang added: "I heard that honest people's behavior did not arouse suspicion, but now the prince warned me:' We are talking about national affairs, so please don't reveal it.' This is the prince. He suspects me. A suspicious person is not a chivalrous man with integrity. Tian Guang's remarks meant that he wanted to motivate Jing Ke by committing suicide. Then he said, "I hope you will go to see the prince at once and tell him that I am dead to show that you have not leaked state affairs." Then he committed suicide.
When Jing Ke saw the prince, he told him that Tian Guang was dead and conveyed Tian Guang's last words. The prince bowed twice, knelt on his lap and burst into tears. After a long time, he said, "The reason why I warned Mr. Tian Guang not to reveal the secret is to realize a major plan. Now Mr. Tian uses death to show that he didn't leak. Where is my original intention? " After Jing Ke was seated, the Prince left and kowtowed to Jing Ke, saying, "Mr. Tian doesn't know that I am an incompetent person. I hope you can give me some advice. This is really a pity for Guo Yan, who will not abandon his descendants. Now the state of Qin is insatiable and ambitious, and it will not be satisfied unless all the land in the world is taken as its own and all the governors are its own lieutenants. Now Qin has captured the king of Korea, occupied the land of Korea, and sent troops to attack Chu in the south and Zhao in the north. Wang Jian's army has approached Zhangshui and Yecheng, and Li Xin has sent troops to Taiyuan and Yunzhong. Where can resist Qin's offensive, he will definitely surrender. When Zhao surrendered to Qin, disaster befell the weak and defeated Yan. Now it is impossible to resist Qin Jun even if the national strength is mobilized. The vassals all surrendered to the state of Qin, and no one dared to unite with the state of Yan. I thought I could get the bravest people in the world to send envoys to the State of Qin and lure the King of Qin with huge sums of money. The King of Qin was salivating at these generous gifts, and we will certainly get what we want. If we can hijack the king of Qin and let him return all the occupied vassal land, just as Cao Mo hijacked Qi Huangong in those days, so much the better; If the king of Qin refuses, kill him. The generals of the state of Qin fought abroad, but the country was chaotic, and the monarch and his subjects would be suspicious of each other. Taking this opportunity, the vassals can unite and break the state of Qin. This is my highest wish. But I don't know who to entrust this task to. I hope you can find a way. "
After a while, Jing Ke said, "This is a national event. I can lower it. I'm afraid I can't." Prince kowtow, firmly request Jing Ke don't refuse. Jing Ke this just promised to come down. So, the prince named Jing Ke Shangqing and let him stay in a high-class hotel. The prince goes to meet him every day. Provide him with a rich banquet, prepare treasures, and constantly dedicate beautiful women to horses and chariots, so as to satisfy Jing Ke's desire and satisfy him as much as possible.
After a long time, Jing Ke didn't mean to leave. At this time, Wang Jian, the general of Qin, attacked Zhao, captured the king of Zhao and occupied the land of Zhao. He invaded the north and plundered the land until he reached the southern border of Yan. Taizi Dan was very scared and asked Jing Ke, "Qin Jun will cross Yishui sooner or later. Although I am willing to serve you for a long time, where is it possible? " Jing Ke said, "Even if the Prince doesn't say anything, I will ask you to act. If you don't take your token now, you can't get close to the king of Qin. Today, the King of Qin offered a reward for the capture of General Fan, with 200 gold and 10,000 fiefs. If I can bring the head of General Fan and the map of the Governor of Yan State to the King of Qin, the King of Qin will be happy to meet me, so that I can have the opportunity to work for the Prince. "
Prince Taizi Dan said, "General Fan came to me because he was desperate. How can I have the heart to hurt an honest man's heart for my personal affairs? I hope you can find another way. " Knowing that the prince could not bear it, Jing Ke went to see Fan privately and said, "The king of Qin was cruel to you, and his parents and family were killed. Now I heard that the king of Qin offered a reward of 2,000 gold households for your head. What are you going to do? "
General Fan heaved a sigh and said with tears all over his face, "Every time I think about it, I hate it. I think twice, but I just don't know how to retaliate. " Jing Ke said, "I have a suggestion now, which can not only relieve the scourge of Yan, but also avenge you. What do you think? " Fan stepped forward and said, "What do you want? But it doesn't hurt to say it. " Jing Ke said, "I hope to get the general's head and dedicate it to the king of Qin. The king of Qin will be very happy and will meet me. By that time, my left hand grabbed his sleeve and my right hand stabbed him in the chest with a dagger. In this way, your deep hatred can be reported, and Yan's humiliation can be washed away. Can the general have this intention? "
Fan stretched out his arm, grabbed his wrist and approached and said, "This is something that I gnash my teeth day and night. It hurts my heart. I can really hear your guidance today. " Then he killed himself. Hearing this, the prince rushed to Fan's body and wept bitterly. Now that things are irreversible, Fan has to bind his head and seal it in a box. By this time, the prince had found the sharpest dagger in the world in advance, which was bought from Mrs. Xu with one hundred gold. The prince asked the craftsman to quench the dagger with poisonous water and then test it on a person. As long as a little blood is shed, this person will die immediately. So ready to pack, send Jing Ke.
There was a brave man named Qin Wuyang in Yan State. He killed someone at the age of twelve, and no one dared to look him in the eye. So the prince sent Qin Wuyang as Jing Ke's assistant. Jing Ke is waiting for another person and wants to go with him. The man lives far away and hasn't arrived yet. Jing Ke stayed for him. I haven't set out for several days. The prince suspected that he was slow and suspected that he would go back on his word, so he went to ask him again and said, "Time is running out. Will you go?" Please let me send Qin Wuyang first. "Jing Ke was angry. He shouted at the prince, "If I can't come back today, it may be because of this boy Qin Wuyang! Now I'm going to the state of Qin with a dagger. The reason why I haven't left is to wait for my friend to go with me. Since you think I'm slow, say goodbye! "So I set out.
The prince and the guests who knew about it all wore white clothes and white hats to see Jing Ke off. When we reach the bank of Yishui, we will continue on our way after the sacrifice to the Road God. At this moment, Gao Jianli played music, and Jing Ke sang in tune, with a mournful voice. People shed tears and sobbed secretly. Jing Ke strolled forward again and sang: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man will not return it!" Then the music turned into an impassioned feather sound, and people listened with their eyes wide open and their hair turned red. So Jing Ke boarded the carriage and drove off without looking back. After the party arrived in Qin, Jing Ke went to see Meng Jia, the son of the courtier of Qin, with precious jade and silk. Meng Jia put in a good word for him in front of the king of Qin: "The prince is really afraid of the power of the king of Qin, and he dare not send troops to fight against it. He is willing to let his compatriots be subjects of the State of Qin, equal to the princes of all parties, and pay tribute like the counties and counties of the State of Qin, in the hope of guarding the ancestral hall of the former king. " The prince was too scared to tell the king himself. He specially beheaded Fan and presented a map of the Governor of Yan State, all of which were packed in boxes. The prince personally saw him off at the court and sent messengers to tell the king. Please ask the king for instructions "
The king of Qin was very happy after hearing this. So he put on his royal robes, set up a ceremony for nine guests, and met the envoys of the State of Yan in Xianyang Palace. Jing Ke holding a box of Yuqi's head fan, Qin Wuyang holding a box of maps, stepped forward in order. Walking down the steps in front of the palace, Qin Wuyang suddenly changed his face and trembled. The ministers of Qin were all surprised. Jing Ke turned around and smiled at Qin Wuyang. He came forward to apologize to the king of Qin and said, "He is a rough man in the Great Northern Wilderness. He has never seen the world, and he is afraid to meet the son of heaven today. I hope the king will be tolerant and let him complete his immediate mission. "
The king of Qin said to Jing Ke, "Get up and get the map." Jing Ke took the map dedication and opened the scroll map. When the map was fully unfolded, the dagger was revealed. Passing 18-wheeler, Jing Ke grabbed the sleeve of the king of Qin with his left hand and stabbed him with his right hand. Unfortunately, he didn't do it. The king of Qin was surprised, straightened up and broke his sleeve. The king of Qin quickly reached out and drew his sword. The blade is too long and gets stuck in the scabbard. At that time, the situation was urgent, and the sword was stuck too tightly vertically and could not be pulled out at once. Jing Ke chased the king of Qin, who had to flee around the column. The ministers all panicked and lost their normal state because of an unexpected thing. Moreover, according to the laws of Qin State, ministers are not allowed to carry any weapons when serving the king in the temple. Although the guards guarding the palace are armed to the teeth, they all stand outside the temple and cannot enter the temple without the order of the king of Qin. At the critical time, the king of Qin had no time to call his royal highness's bodyguard, so when Jing Ke chased the king of Qin, the ministers were in a hurry, and nothing was used to fight back against Jing Ke, so they had to catch it with their bare hands. Just then, the doctor Xia Wuqie and he threw a medicine bag at Jing Ke. The king of Qin ran around the pillar and didn't know what to do. Ministers took this opportunity to shout at him: "Your Majesty, put your sword on your back! Push it to the back! " The king of Qin drew his sword to cut Jing Ke, and immediately cut off his left leg. Jing Ke was seriously injured, fell to the ground, raised his dagger and threw it at the king of Qin. He missed and glued it to the post. The king of Qin cut Jing Ke again, and Jing Ke was injured in eight places. Knowing that the matter failed, Jing Ke laughed against the pillar and spread his legs and cursed: "The reason why the matter failed was nothing more than to capture you alive and get the certificate of returning the occupied land to repay the prince." People from both sides came to kill Jing Ke, and the king of Qin fainted for a long time before he came to his senses.
Later, the king of Qin rewarded the ministers for their contributions, and the punishment was treated separately according to the situation. The king of Qin gave Xia Wuhua 220 gold and said, "If you don't take care of me, take the medicine bag and beat Jing Ke."
So Qin was very angry with Yan, sent more troops to Zhao's old place, ordered Wang Jian's army to attack Yan, and captured Jicheng in Yan Dou in October. Yan and Taizi Dan led elite troops to retreat to Liaodong. Li Xin, the general of Qin Dynasty, pursued the prince. The prince was worried, so he had to take the idea of replacing Zhao Jia and kill Taizi Dan, intending to dedicate it to the king of Qin. However, Qin Jun continued to attack. Five years later, Yan was finally destroyed and captured. Qin unified the world.
Later, Jing Ke's good friend Gao Jianli took the opportunity to meet Qin Shihuang. He hit Qin Shihuang with a pavilion, trying to avenge Yan. He missed and was killed.
Comment and analysis
Jing Ke's courage to resist the rape of weak individuals, noble political values and idealistic spirit of sacrifice are all worthy of eternal praise. At this point, we are opposed to the position that the film Hero uses "the world" as a cover to defend the autocratic centralization of the Qin Dynasty and obliterate the lofty value of heroic acts against tyranny. However, Yan Taizidan's political decision of "planning, disaster will come soon" cannot but make future generations reflect, as Su Xun, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, wrote in On Six Kingdoms: "If you want to make the three countries love their people, Qi people can't be attached to Qin, assassins can't do it, and good generals are still there, so the number of victories and defeats and the principle of survival are not easy to compare with Qin."
Jing Ke and other Warring States Rangers are not ordinary people. They are idealists with political values and ambitions. They transcend material desires and put the realization of personal value on metaphysical beliefs such as nationality, freedom and justice. But as an idealist, you must have courage and wisdom if you want to make economic and political achievements in society. Courage is the spirit of challenging a powerful opponent with a weak person knowing that actions will lead to your own casualties, knowing only good and evil, regardless of gains and losses. Political career is a road to struggle for lofty ideals and a great cause to save the world. It needs the persistence and courage of "I will go even though people are thousands of miles away", and it needs the meaning of giving up one's life for righteousness, giving up oneself for others, regardless of life and success or failure. A true politician is a fearless idealist. He is not a politician. He must devote himself to some value. Without such courage and restraint, politicians will become speculators, weigh the gains and losses of personal interests at the critical moment of their official career and put their own interests above political undertakings.
Competition in society is sometimes like a war, and only the brave can be invincible. Timidity, concession and meanness in the struggle give opponents an opportunity to make mistakes in decision-making and cause losses. Only courage can inspire people's fighting spirit and determination to cross the rubicon. The bloodiness and courage of "knowing that you can't do it" and "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and leaning towards the tiger mountain" can make the opponent eventually lose. If company of heroes doesn't have the courage to challenge difficulties, we can't see the similarities and differences between them and the general public. The brave give people spiritual dependence, dependence and faith, and let people find that there is no fear and failure if they follow the brave. The selfless spirit of the brave and the pioneer image of setting an example have inspired the enthusiasm of subordinates and comrades, making them as loyal and brave as the brave. In this sense, we should not judge heroes by success or failure. It is one thing to review and reflect on the quality and technical mistakes of people with lofty ideals, and it is another to affirm and respect their courage, integrity and noble qualities.
As far as many social undertakings are concerned, such as fighting and competing with opponents, courage is the first, but as far as the utilitarian purpose of winning a career is concerned, wisdom is extremely important. As Su Xun pointed out in Six Kingdoms, the reason why Yan Taizi Dan let Jing Ke stab the king of Qin was to prevent Qin from attacking Yan, or even to seize the king of Qin and return the occupied territory. However, the means he adopted not only failed to achieve his goal, but accelerated the demise of Yan State and led to the physical death of the country. Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin was obviously a naive political decision-making mistake. Jing Ke achieved his heroic image, but accelerated the demise of Yan State, which ran counter to the original strategic purpose.
Politicians should not be too ambitious and impetuous. It is impossible to force an excessive goal, and the expected situation will not come soon because of political action. "All one's wishes come true" is just a myth. Politicians should assess the situation, weigh the gains and losses, and verify the practical operability of actions. Political concession, waiting and patience are much more useful than courage without hesitation. Politics is an art of grasping the possibility. Don't do something that can't be done at one stage. In Zhouyi, it is said that "destroying setbacks with trust" and "benefiting from setbacks", only by keeping a low profile, retreating for progress, making necessary retreat and perseverance can we take action. Stabbing Qin with the courage of blood can certainly win eternal fame and aesthetic value, but it not only causes disaster to the actors themselves, but also is not conducive to the career process.
Political decision-making needs a high degree of wisdom, and the relationship between ends and means should be considered; Consider whether the way of struggle is the most appropriate, and consider the cost, cost and negative impact. A politician is not only a bloody and courageous person, he should plan and consider the ultimate victory of his career. He always associates the purpose of his struggle with his every action. He wants to reduce fallacies and setbacks in his career, get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost, and finally let the purpose appear at the most satisfactory speed and state. Most importantly, a true politician is one who has transformed from an idealistic hero to a pragmatic politician. The so-called pragmatic politician is the kind of politician who values the real realization of his own goals above all else. He doesn't value moral reputation, temporary success and temporary retreat; What he values is strategy, strength, utility and ultimate victory.
