Jing ke stabbed the king of Qin. Why did Fan, a wanted criminal in Qin, take the initiative to kill himself? What is The Secret Behind? Van Yuqi is an episode in Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin. Jing Ke met his assassin, King Qin, with the help of Fan's Yuqi Head and the map of Yan State. Life is irreversible. Fan gave his head to Jing Ke, which meant taking his own life. So is Van Yuqi really not afraid of death? What is the ins and outs of this?

A, Jing Ke was ordered to assassinate the king of Qin.

In 228 BC, Wang Jian, a general of the State of Qin, attacked the State of Zhao, which was destroyed. Qin Jun arrived at the border of the State of Yan, which was weak and unstoppable. For the sake of national security, Yan Taizi Dan sought ways to defend against the enemy everywhere. If the two armies go to war, Prince Yan will will die. If you want to save Yan, there is only one way, that is to assassinate the king of Qin, or to coerce the king of Qin to withdraw.

According to historical records, "General Fan Yuqi of Qin offended the king of Qin, died of a swallow, and the prince was abandoned."

The situation is very critical. Just then, General Fan of the State of Qin offended the King of Qin and fled to the territory of Yan. Taizi Dan accepted Fan and arranged to live in Yan State. At this time, the two sides were at daggers drawn, Qin was about to invade, but Taizi Dan took in the rebels of Qin, which undoubtedly pushed Yan into a pit of fire.

After learning the news, Juwu, the teacher of Taizi Dan, persuaded Taizi Dan that the present state of Qin was very cruel. If you count other generals, it will definitely annoy Ying Zheng, the king of Qin. Then, even Guan Zhong couldn't save Yan. Only Taizi Dan attached great importance to friendship, and did not return Fan to Qin State or send him to Xiongnu.

This matter has come to an end for the time being,

Taizi Dan is eager to find a warrior to assassinate Ying Zheng, the king of Qin. On the recommendation of Tian Guang, a hermit, Jing Ke appeared in front of Taizi Dan. Jing Ke's personality is unrestrained and informal, and he often associates with chivalrous people. We are not sure how good Jing Ke's swordsmanship is, but Jing Ke's psychological quality is absolutely qualified, so Jing Ke was chosen by Taizi Dan as the assassin to assassinate the king of Qin.

Jing Ke only deliberately declined at first, but only after seeing that Taizi Dan was very sincere did he agree to the dangerous task of this project. The success rate of sending assassins to assassinate the king of Qin is too low. If it succeeds, maybe Yan can save it, but the assassin's life may not be saved. Since such a dangerous task is entrusted to Jing Ke, the least reward is wine, food and beauty.

According to historical records: "The prince builds doors every day for too much furniture, and foreign things come in, and the beautiful woman rides the road of Jing Ke to suit her heart."

When everything was almost enjoyed, Taizi Dan began to urge Jing Ke to start, and at this moment, Van Yuqi's life also entered the countdown.

Second, Jing Ke used Van Yuqi's head to see Ying Zheng, the king of Qin.

Even though Jing Ke's swordsmanship is superb and his psychological quality is excellent, he is just a civilian, which is far from the status of the king of Qin. It's hard to see the king of Qin.

The assassination plan requires not only superb martial arts, but also many factors. Fortunately, Jing Ke basically has this quality. Jing Ke can disguise his identity and blend in with the high-ranking dignitaries of the State of Qin in order to get a chance to get close to the king of Qin, but he needs a reason.

The state of Qin had begun to expand, so the king of Qin was the most powerful man at that time. If you want to meet the most powerful person in the world, you must have chips in your hand. I don't think Jing Ke has been idle during this period. He has been conceiving the whole process, one of which is Fan.

We don't know the exact reason why Fan offended the king of Qin, but if you give the head of a traitor to the king of Qin, it must be a high-quality warlord. Jing Ke immediately went to see Taizi Dan, hoping to get Fan Yuqi's head, and used it as an excuse to see the king of Qin.

As we said before, Taizi Dan is a sentient and righteous person. He took in General Fan. How can he betray him? So Taizi Dan won't agree at this time, so only Jing Ke will do it himself.

According to historical records, "Fan prefers slapping" and says: "I gnash my teeth day and night, and my heart has rotted. Now he has learned to teach! " Hey. "

I have to say that Jing Ke's eloquence is also good. When I see Fan, I will tell you the success or failure and the benefits. After Fan fled to the state of Yan, his family and children were killed by the king of Qin, and Fan only had deep hatred for the king of Qin and even the state of Qin.

Jing Ke told Van Yuqi that if you borrow your head and wait for him to see and kill the king of Qin, the general's great hatred will be reported. Fan didn't talk nonsense, simply rolled up his sleeves and ended his life.

There is also an important factor, that is, Taizi Dan's saving his life. In order to thank Taizi Dan for saving his life, Van Yuqi is willing to offer his head. Besides, if he killed the king of Qin, his death would be valuable.

Third, is Van Yuqi afraid of death?

Before Fan died, someone gave his life to assassinate the king of Qin. The man's name is Tian Guang. Tian Guang is a famous hermit of Yan State, and it is also Tian Guang who introduced Jing Ke to Taizi Dan.

According to historical records, "I wanted to kill myself to stimulate Jing Qing, saying," I was in a hurry in front of the prince. I said I was dead, but I didn't say anything. "I died of suicide."

Tian Guang committed suicide in front of Jing Ke for Yan's safety, confidentiality and Jing Ke's acceptance of this task. As the saying goes, "Every man takes the hindmost for himself." It may be difficult for us modern people to understand what Tian Guang did, but that is the meaning of Tian Guang. He can give his life for justice.

It can be seen that during the Warring States period, there were many people who were loyal to the monarch. They valued the country and the righteousness above their own lives, and they could easily give up their lives in order to achieve their goals.

There is only one life, and fear of death is human nature. Maybe we can't appreciate the persistence of the ancients who died for the truth, but we should also give them enough respect.

To say that Fan is not afraid of death? Not necessarily. Why did he flee to Yan State instead of fighting Qin Shihuang? Because he still wants to live. After long-term thinking, he may still have depression in his heart. Fan may think that living may be more painful than dying. Almost all his relatives were killed and fled to other countries. He may find no reason to live on. He would die if given the chance.

This opportunity is to assassinate the king of Qin, kill an enemy and repay the kindness of Taizi Dan. Fan changed from a fugitive to a warrior who is not afraid of life and death. At this moment, life and death are nothing to him.

We can't put it on the ancients according to modern ethics and social system. The ideas of the ancients may be very different from ours. Moreover, people at that time had just left the stage of eating and drinking blood, and blood and killing often appeared in their field of vision. Life and death may not be very important to them.
