Chapter 242 The rise of Li Xin

After Ying Zheng took power, he began to attack the six Shandong countries in large numbers, only Li Mu of Zhao State caused enough trouble for the Qin army.

Outside the battlefield, the scene of Jing Ke, the assassin sent by Prince Dan of Yan, holding up Mrs. Xu's dagger in front of Qin's king and minister, truly allowed Ying Zheng to experience a dangerous and dangerous life-and-death moment. When he was young, he returned to Qin from Zhao and passed by Dali and was assassinated by assassination, which did not shock Ying Zheng's heart.

At that time, there were warriors guarding each other, and when Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, he suddenly launched an attack, which was a big surprise for the king and minister of Qin. If it weren't for Jing Ke's martial arts skills, perhaps Ji Dan's plan would have succeeded.

In the 17th year of King Ying Zheng of Qin, the day was still the beginning of the year, and the wind and snow that floated from time to time still could not conceal the joy of Xianyang City.

"General Wang defeated the State of Zhao. This time, he defeated the Yan army on the banks of the Yishui River and chased the north, forcing King Yan to flee to Liaodong, and had to obediently serve Ji Dan's head. He is really a good general of the country."

"General Wang defeated the Yan army. Among the generals under his command, the cavalry and cavalry troops led by Li Xin were the most outstanding. He drove straight in and marched more than a hundred miles in one day, and even rushed to the front of the defeated Yan army."

"Isn't that true? Li Xin personally marched into Liaodong and brought back Ji Dan's head."

"Now, the Qin generals will be in a three-legged tripod..."

When they went to court, the ministers stood together in groups of three or three, whispering to each other.

Some people followed by the left prime minister Xiong Qi, mostly from Chu land in the south, or the ancestors had the blood of Chu people.

Behind the courtier Li Si, the local minister of Qin State was surrounded by Qin. When Ying Zheng issued the order to expel the guests, these people helped the fire. Li Si clearly opposed the expel, but he did not expect that after Li Si gained a foothold, his political stance was closer to these people.

The Legalist ideas advocated by Li Si were quite disliked by people in Shandong. Instead, the local ministers of Qin who accepted Shangjun's theory since childhood were able to accept Li Si's political views.

The censor Wang Wan led the censor in the Censor's Office to walk aside silently, staying close to the ministers and keeping a distance. The Censor should be in charge of supervision and should not be too close to the ministers.

The sun shines through the clouds and sprinkles on the falling snow. The snowflakes gradually melt and emit cold air.

Meng Tian turned around, faced the sun, his face as usual, and he was waiting calmly. The ministers' comments were heard in Meng Tian's ears, as if they were just flies flying by.

"The king is here!"

Just after the first moment of Si, Ying Zheng's chariot slowly appeared in everyone's eyes and fell at the end of the high stairs.

After Ying Zheng sat down on the throne, Zhao Gao, the new son of the Central Concubine, bowed and stepped down nine steps, shouted loudly: "General Li Xin, attacking the rebellious Yan, must kill Ji Dan, which greatly comforted the morale of the army and allowed him to enter the palace in military uniform!"

"Thank you, the king!"

Li Xin, who had been waiting outside the palace gate, was about to take off the bronze sword around his waist. He heard that the King of Qin allowed him to enter the palace in military uniform, and he couldn't help but feel proud.

After struggling in the ice and snow in Liaodong, he finally got the recognition of the King of Qin.

Meng Tian stood in the middle of the steps, looking down. Seeing Li Xin holding a wooden box in his hand, he walked towards him, and the wind was booming.

The wooden box in Li Xin's hand had no roof, and the items contained inside fell into the eyes of the ministers at high places, which were clearly visible.

The slight cold wind blew, and the hair at the head in the wooden box swayed in the wind, like the grass shaking in the wind.

When Li Xin learned about Ying Zheng's assassination, he did not dare to have any surprises in front of Ying Zheng, so he simply showed it clearly from the beginning without hiding it.

After obtaining Ji Dan's head, Li Xin sent a messenger to rush back to Xianyang. Ying Zheng had already received news of Ji Dan's body and head separation, but he still issued an order to hold a grand triumphal ceremony for Li Xin.

The army won the victory and returned triumphantly, but it was not only the Western Paris and Rome that had a tradition of holding a triumphant style. In ancient Chinese countries, the army went to war, victorious and returned to the court, forming a formal and grand etiquette. However, Westerners built the Arc de Triomphe, while the ancient Chinese often chose to offer to the Taimiao to comfort their ancestors.

The Taimiao of Qin was left in Yongcheng. Since the Yongcheng crown was added, Ying Zheng has never returned. He welcomed Zhao Ji back to Xianyang, but did not choose to enter Yongcheng.

Ying Zheng's actions were unexpected and did not live in the ritual of death, and ordered Li Xin to be given great glory in Xianyang.

"I would like to remind my king that my minister Li Xin has fulfilled his mission and has entered Liaodong in person, and has been given the head of the rebel Ji Dan to return."

Before Li Xin approached the imperial stairs, he knelt on one knee and raised his hands high. Inside the wooden box, Ji Dan's face was clearly visible, with a surprised expression before his death.

According to the news sent back by Li Xin, in order to survive, King Xi of Yan personally sent someone to kill Ji Dan. The son of his father died at the hands of his father. Ji Dan's life was somewhat tragic.

The son of the Nakama quickly ran down the steps, took the wooden box from Li Xin's hand, held it above his head, took a few steps, and passed it to Ying Zheng's throne.

What surprised Meng Tian was that when Ying Zheng mentioned Ji Dan, he always gritted his teeth and showed his anger indifferently. However, when Ji Dan's head really appeared in front of Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng seemed very calm and even a little regretful.

In order to preserve Yan State, Ji Dan chose to assassinate the means, and from the perspective of Yan State, there was nothing wrong with that. Since ancient times, many countries that are rising have suddenly died because of the sudden death of leaders, the country is declining, and even destruction.

No matter what, Ji Dan and Ying Zheng were both playmates when they were young, and perhaps they left an indelible memory for each other.

Even this memory is not that beautiful.

"Leave it to Fengchang to deal with it!"

After pondering for a long time, Ying Zheng waved his sleeves and left Ji Dan's head.

Fengchang, the Qin State's Fengchang was in charge of sacrificial rituals. Ying Zheng asked Fengchang to handle Ji Dan's head, and his meaning was very clear and he would give Ji Dan a slightly decent funeral.

"General Li Xin attacked Zhao Po Yan, without fear of hardships, avenged the king, and was very relieved, and promoted the title to the right."

After Zhao Gao read out Ying Zheng's decree, another huge wave seemed to have passed in the hearts of the Qin ministers.

As the person involved, Li Xin felt a huge sense of joy spread throughout his body, and his hair and beard couldn't help but tremble, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. When he thanked him, his voice seemed a little trembling.

Many Qin ministers looked at Meng Tian and sometimes floated towards Li Xin, some were worried and some were gloating.

Li Xin's contribution was said to be great, but it still cannot be compared with the contribution of capturing the capital of Zhao. After the Qin army defeated the Yan army, Jicheng was empty, and King Xi of Yan was a man with no courage and abandoned the city and fled.

When Li Xin commanded the Qin cavalry troops to arrive in Jicheng, he took over a city that was almost unpreserved.

Just relying on Ji Dan's head, Li Xinyou's title was awarded, which was obviously a bit of an extraordinary promotion. However, at this time, no one raised objections. Thinking of the scene of Jing Ke chasing the King of Qin, at this critical moment, Li Xin pursued Ji Dan to death, and indeed avenged the monarch's humiliation.

Meng Tian felt the cold air coming from the snow, tightened her body, and smiled helplessly in her heart: "In order to differentiate the Wang family and the influence of the Meng family in the Qin army, Ying Zheng has begun to prepare to vigorously promote the Li family in Longxi......"
