Chapter 15 Assassin

Although she has become an enemy country, Xianyang is still full of Chu style, and there are not many differences in the clothes of the palaces of the two countries. From the plain and dark clothes in Huayang Palace, to the red quid that she repeatedly asked her to try on, to the original color of husband she wore at the funeral, to the rough leather clothes given by the Qiang people, Mi Xuan is now wearing a wild cloak, and then the hairpin is horizontal.

Yuan's shirt is black and red, noble and elegant. She sat in the Chu Palace wearing clothes that the queen could only wear. Even though she was mentally prepared, Mi Xuan felt confused. When Xiong Jing came in, the palace maid whispered, and she was still late for salute.

"Get back." Xiong Jing looked at Mi Xuan with her eyes curled up. Her skin was already white, and now she was wearing a black dress with red edges on the edges. Against the backdrop of red and black, her whole body became as crystal clear as jade.

"The second is not good." A man has a crown, but a woman has only the first dress. The most noble one is the second dress, and the second dress is the second dress. The former is similar to the wigs from later generations. The "second dress" is covered with "submit", and then woven and covered it on the head, and then put a jade hairpin on it, and then tied a jade hairpin on it (Jia: similar to the step of the queen of Qin). "A gentleman grows together, and the second dress is Liujia". The most generous makeup for a woman is also a wig, and the whisker (didi) is also a wig. It is not covered on the head, but is put together with the original hair to make the bun pile higher.

After spending several months together, Xiong Jing was familiar with every inch of Mi Xuan's body, and the same was true for his hair. He could clearly recognize Mi Xuan's own hair, which were "times". Thinking that these "times" were probably cut from the hairpin, he had some psychological disorders.

When Mi Xuan saw Xiong Jing say something bad, she was stunned. At this time, the man had already hugged her who was about to salute, kissed her in the ear and said, "He is very beautiful."

The two of them were so intimate that the temple maid who retreated to the side covered her mouth and smiled when she saw this. Mi Xuan, who heard the laughter, hurriedly escaped from Xiong Jing's arms and said, "You must not do this, I am..."

While on the sailing boat, Mi Xuan was still laughing and jumping. As soon as she entered Yingdu Xiong Jing, she found that she had become a different person, becoming taciturn and restrained everywhere. Xiong Jing did not let her break free, but looked into her eyes and asked, "Are you afraid?"

"I..." Xiong Jing's words hit Mi Xuan's heart. She was indeed afraid, afraid that the Empress Dowager Zhao would hate her, afraid that the ministers in the court would criticize her, afraid that the streets and alleys would be irresponsible... She was "captured" by Xiong Jing. She didn't feel it on the way, but when she entered the Chu Palace, she realized that she was a person, a lonely person.

"I am afraid even if I am not honest." Xiong Jing said softly. "I am afraid that time will go back three months ago, I am afraid that I will not be able to find you in the wind and snow, I am afraid that you will be the concubine of the King of Qin, and I will only meet you in the underworld." Xiong Jing said his fear, he was really scared.

"But the queen and the courtiers," Mi Xuan gave up breaking free and let the man hold him.

"My mother has long allowed you to marry into the Chu Palace." Xiong Jing only said the first half, but did not say the second half. "The court officials do not need to worry. Chu is not Qin. The doctors are disrespectful, and the soldiers are always unruly. They only surrender to the brave."

The man's first half of the sentence made Mi Xuan breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, she broke free from her arms and said, "I am worried and unhappy to the king. I am sorry for my faults, please forgive me."

"The Queen is so bad." Mi Xuan's actions made Xiong Jing frown. He taught her how to be a qualified queen along the way. "Why are you guilty of being in love with the Queen and cherishing each other?"

"I am unhappy to the king, and I am guilty of my crime." Xiong Jing's words moved Mi Xuan, but the teaching of female virtue made her feel even more guilty.

"Oh!" Xiong Jing shook his head. Mi Xuan is not only the queen, but will also be the mother queen in the future. The daughter's virtue makes her obedient, but the daughter's virtue will make her unable to educate the prince and the princess well. Seeing that Mi Xuan was unhappy, he whispered and sighed: "People! Know yourself."

Aristotle IV read the Chinese philosophers who translated into Greek by Wu Ji. What he didn't know was that Xiong Jing had been reading original Greek classics. What Xiong Jing had to understand was of course not Greek political system, or even Greek philosophy, but theology and mythology of Western countries.

The Chu State Spiritual Cult is just a primitive, slightly improved multi-god religion. To be changed to a mono-god religion, relying solely on the existing witchcraft, it is far from enough for a few years. Primitive religion or primitive theology is the origin of all civilizations. This is the reflection of thinking in the most ignorant period of mankind. It summarizes the world and all things with the roughest rationality, and attributes unknown things to God.

People have different opinions. It is almost the same material world, but each ethnic group has a theological construction of similar appearances but completely different spirits. These spirits naturally reflect the thinking characteristics of different ethnic groups. It is these thinking characteristics that determine the future of the ethnic group. As a spiritual practitioner of Chu, Xiong Jing thought: Since genes can be optimized, can these thinking characteristics also be optimized?

Greek theology gave birth to Greek philosophy, which cultivated wise men like Aristotle IV. Since they were wise men, they were of course pursuing wisdom rather than gods, and this is why Xiong Jing never asked him for advice. It was like there was no way to ask a citizen of the French Republic for the Duke of Burgundy. First, he might not understand at all, and second, he might curse.

Xiong Jing comforted her queen and asked her to know you, Aristotle IV was standing above the court of Zhangtai Palace, watching the envoy lead a great assassin to the temple.

The Qin Palace is majestic, and the Zhangtai Palace is the most magnificent among the palaces. Any palace is built on a rammed earth platform, and only by going up the steps can you reach the hall, and then you can enter the hall. Finally, you can reach the court. The rammed earth platform in Yanzhao is only more than one zhang, and the Chu Palace is only two zhang high, and the Zhangtai Palace platform is more than three zhang high. Even if you walk up the steps, you will be dazzled even if you look at it.

The messenger was used to running up and down, and he didn't breathe at all. Jing Ke and the doctor who went to the palace were sweating slightly on their foreheads. However, the servant holding Mu Han did not breathe or sweat, but his face turned pale. As soon as he entered the Mingtang and passed the big room, he suddenly saw hundreds of court officials in the court looking over. Feng Mu Han's hands were trembling a little.

The servant trembled, and the courtier's previous curiosity was finally satisfied: it turned out that the assassin who assassinated Li Mu looked like this.

Jing Ke was not tall, after all, he was a doctor of the State of Wei. His face was very fair and had beards, but not many. Only those two upright eyebrows were murderous. When he glared at him, he was shocked. Some court officials were shocked by his eyes, and the sound of "assassin, assassin" kept coming.

In the hearts of later generations, assassins were heroes, but in the pre-Qin and even after Qin, assassins were mostly considered villains. The Taishi Gong wrote a biography for him, rather than agreeing with his actions, it was better to warn kings like Emperor Wu of Han: if a soldier is angry, he will be buried in corpses, bleed for five steps, and the world will be covered in mourning.

Hearing the word "assassin", Jing Ke raised his chest higher, but the servant behind him trembled more and more violently. When he walked to the front, with a "thump", the Mu Han in his hand did not hold it and immediately fell to the ground. Fortunately, the Mu Han was covered and Li Mu's head did not roll out.

The servants and ministers were rude in front of the king, and Zhao Zheng, who had a smile on his face, was a little displeased, and the ministers in the court also said a few times. Jing Ke bowed and smiled and said, "This barbarian is a despicable person, and he has never seen the emperor, so he is so nervous. I hope the king will borrow it less and send it to the front."

When Jing Ke bowed and confessed his crime, the servant had already picked up the wooden letter. Jing Ke's explanation made Zhao Zheng smile, but his smile calmed down. He whispered: "For five years, I have been unwilling to eat and restless. Do you know why?"

"The Great Qin attacked Zhao and was defeated by Li Mu several times." Jing Ke looked serious and calm.

Jing Ke's answer was very satisfying to Zhao Zheng. He said again: "Why do you want to reward if you kill Li Mu?"

"Kill the enemy for Qin, and do not ask for rewards." Jing Ke said loudly.

"Great misunderstanding!" Zhao Zheng's voice suddenly became higher. The destruction of Zhao was about to be imminent. The decisive battle with the Three Kingdoms may be next month. He would like to reward Jing Ke heavily and set an example for the people of the world. "The Qin Dynasty governs the world with the law. If you have any merits, you will be punished. If you don't reward me, you will be shocking!"

Zhao Zheng's majestic voice buzzed and echoed in the court, and the ministers were watching it, wanting to know what it means to be "shocking with one reward". At this time, a group of temple people had rushed to the hall, some holding the booklets and some holding the seals.

"Xuan my decree." Zhao Zheng waved his sleeves, with a sense of pride in his voice.

"The King's Decree: Zhao general Li Mu killed General Meng Wu, and killed more than 200,000 Qin soldiers. Some people assassinated Li Mu were appointed as marquis, rewarded 10,000 gold and ate ten thousand households." Zhao Gao said loudly. In addition to Jing Ke's reward, there was also a promise to Wei Yuanjun. "Recalling that Jing Ke was Wei minister, I renamed Wei Yuanjun, and was named Wei Yuanjun, and was granted the title of Wei Yuanjun in Puyang, and he was conferred his sacrifices..."

The assassination of Li Mu and the ministers of the Marquis had long been expected. What they did not expect was that the king would restore the title of Wei Yuanjun and enfeoff him in Puyang. Puyang is the capital of Wei State, with more than 40,000 households, which was the fief of the four Marquis.

"I thank the king." Wei Yuanjun was in the hall. He heard Zhao Gao announce the king's order, and he fell to the ground and bowed to the ground in excitement.

The ministers whispered and talked a lot. Wei Yuanjun fell to the ground and was defeated. Prince Dan of Yan wanted to speak but did not dare to speak. Zhao Zheng was very satisfied with the reaction of everyone. What he wanted was such a reward effect. However, Jing Ke, who was more than ten steps away from him, had no smile on his face for some reason. After waving his sleeves, the court was quiet again. Zhao Zheng said, "Isn't Jing Qing happy with my reward?"

"I dare not." Jing Ke replied loudly, "Since I have killed Li Mu, I will ask the king to personally check his head to prove his bravery."

According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, the beheading is to be investigated. Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "Should be so. Take Li Mu's head."

The head was on the servant. Jing Ke turned around and took the Mu Han, then held the throne of Zhao Zheng in both hands. The wooden Han went to the hall, and the doctor had already checked it, but Zhao Gao beside Zhao Zheng was always a little uneasy. Just as he was about to come forward to take the Mu Han, Jing Ke was close to the throne ten steps. He opened the Mu Han, took out the head and raised it high, "Please ask the king to investigate, and ask the doctors to investigate."
