China in the third century BC (the Warring States Period) was an era of ignorance, and a group of heroes who "said the confidants died" emerged. Yan Guo Xia Ke-Jing Ke is the most typical one.
According to the relevant records in "Zhan Guo Ce • Yan Ce": Jing Ke is not a warrior good at fighting at all. They don't even have the ability and ability to be an assassin. In fact, Jing Ke should have been a common warrior during the Warring States Period. He liked to read, was good at lobbying, and had a certain degree of knowledge. It can be said that he is a knight, but he is not a warrior. "However, why did Jing Ke assassinate King Qin? Only for the "confidant" of the Crown Prince Dan of the Kingdom of Yan.
"Records of the History" records that the Crown Prince Dan of the Kingdom of Yan instructed Jing Ke at that time: "Take the king of Qin and let the land of the princes... …There is great kindness. No, so assassinate it. "In other words, at least Yan Taizi Dan wanted to capture King Qin Yingzheng alive at first, forcing him to return the occupied territories of the vassal state. If this step succeeds, they may not want to kill Yingzheng. If Yingzheng refuses, they Before he was ready to kill him, Jing Ke took his order and went to Qin to assassinate King Yingzheng of Qin. He brought the'Map of Yan Dukang' and the head of'Fan Yuqi' with him. Before leaving, many people saw Jing Ke off at the edge of Yishui. Very tragic and strong. "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong
men will never return once they go." What we see is: Jing Ke was only for assassination of Qin, only for the "confidant" of the Prince Dan, not only his righteousness, but also his "confidant". Regarding death as home. But not "the world." In essence, he is a heroic assassin who is tragic and tragic. He is not a true hero in history.
