Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

"I like the Qin Dynasty and Qin Shi Huangdi the most."

"I know everything about him! What do you want to hear?"

What do you want to hear?

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "You just said that Qin Shi Huang died in the Shaqiu Palace during his fifth tour?"

Qi Pan nodded, "Yes."

"So...how old was he when he died?"

Qi Pan said without hesitation, "49 years old, 210 BC."

what?

49 years old? !

210 BC? ! !

I actually died at the age of 49???

Ying Zheng widened his eyes in disbelief!

My heart is shaken!

"Four... Forty-nine and he died?"

Qi Pan nodded, "Yes."

She looked at Ying Zheng in confusion, "Brother, why do you look so unhappy? I'm talking about Qin Shi Huang, not you."

Ying Zheng thought to himself, the Qin Shi Huang you are talking about is me!

The first thing you say is that I died at the age of 49. How can I not look unhappy?

I originally thought that I was 32 years old, still young and strong, and in good health.

When I heard that I could only live to forty-nine, I suddenly felt my waist and legs were sore and I was about to die.

Ying Zheng put one hand on his chest and said, "My body is a little uncomfortable."

what?

"Hahaha, brother, please stop kidding. You look like someone who will live a hundred years!"

Qi Pan reached out and patted Ying Zheng on the shoulder. "Look at your strong physique and broad, powerful arms. If you don't live to be a hundred years old, it will be a loss to the world!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng felt inexplicably better.

"Thank you for your good wishes, little brother. I also hope that I can live a long life."

Regardless of whether he can live to be a hundred years old, the pace of unifying the six kingdoms must be accelerated.

If he really can only live to forty-nine, that means he has seventeen years left.

Seventeen years! That’s too short.

He still had a lot to do and time was too short.

Qi Pan said, "Hey, brother, do you know that the King of Qin walked around the pillar?"

Ok?

King Qin walks around the pillar?

The King of Qin is referring to him?

What about the winding column?

Why did he go around the pillar?

“Not much impression…”

Ying Zheng looked at Qi Pan with a questioning look.

Qi Pan said, "You forgot this too? It comes from the story of Jing Ke assassinating Qin Shi Huang."

"Do you remember Jing Ke's assassination of Qin? Jing Ke was ordered to assassinate Ying Zheng, who was then the King of Qin."

"The distance between the two was too close, and Ying Zheng's bronze sword was too long, so he couldn't pull it out in a hurry."

"He could only run around the pillar to avoid Jing Ke's assassination. That's how the phrase 'The King of Qin Runs Around the Pillar' came about."

Jing Ke assassinated Qin?

Ying Zheng asked, "When did this happen? Why did Jing Ke want to assassinate the King of Qin?"

Qi Pan said, "It happened in 227 BC, when the Qin State destroyed the Zhao State, and the Qin cavalry arrived at the bank of the Yishui River."

"Yan Prince Dan knew the situation was critical and he had to find a way to stop Qin from annexing Yan."

"So, through Tian Guang's introduction, Prince Dan met Jing Ke."

"Prince Dan treated Jing Ke well and responded to his requests. Jing Ke was so moved that he agreed to be Prince Dan's loyal soldier and go to Xianyang to assassinate Qin King Ying Zheng."

Oh?

In order to stop the Qin cavalry from entering the land of Yan and annexing the territory of Yan?

Prince Dan dares to order people to assassinate me?

Ying Zheng asked, "Isn't Yan afraid that the assassination attempt will fail and the King of Qin will get angry and lead his army to attack Yan?"

"Afraid."

Qi Pan said, "It is precisely because of fear that Prince Dan wants to assassinate the King of Qin."

"At that time, Prince Dan didn't actually intend to kill the King of Qin, but wanted to force the King of Qin to sign some agreements."

"Promise not to attack Yan State, so as to buy Yan State some breathing time."

"Unfortunately........"

Ying Zheng was puzzled, "Oh? Assassinating the King of Qin was just to force him not to attack the State of Yan?"

"What are they thinking? They have sent people to assassinate the King of Qin, how can the King of Qin let them go?"

He really couldn't figure it out.

If you really want to make peace, you can offer some cities and food supplies and show your intention.

Perhaps he could let them go for the time being, and after conquering Wei, he would turn around and deal with Yan.

But now that Prince Dan of Yan has done this, how can he let him go?

We must send troops immediately to attack the State of Yan!

Qi Pan was also puzzled, "Yeah, I find it strange too."

"To this day I still can't figure out the real motive behind Prince Dan's assassination of the King of Qin."

She thought about the comments she had read online before and said.

"Some people say that it was because when Prince Dan and the King of Qin were held hostage in Zhao State, they were in the same situation and they supported each other and had a good relationship."

"Later, King Ying Zheng of Qin returned to Qin and became the King of Qin, but Prince Dan remained a hostage."

"And he was sent to Qin as a hostage by his father!"

"The status of these two people was suddenly raised too high, causing Prince Dan to become jealous and envious of the King of Qin."

"Then the relationship between the two people suddenly deteriorated."

"It is also said that Prince Dan has a love-hate relationship with the King of Qin, and it is an extreme struggle..."

Speaking of which, Qi Pan himself felt that the comments and speculations on the Internet were too unbelievable.

They even managed to link Prince Dan and Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng into an ambiguous relationship.

She had to admire this imagination.

Ying Zheng said, "When we were both held hostage by the State of Zhao, we were in the same situation, so it was only natural that we should take care of each other."

"It's just that... this love-hate relationship is really an exaggeration."

"Hahaha."

Qi Pan smiled and said, "I know, you don't have to take it too seriously. Netizens have all kinds of weird imaginations."

"Don't take some words seriously, just treat them as jokes."

"Yes, it is."

Ying Zheng nodded, then remembered what Qi Pan said about 227 BC, and asked.

"What you just said, 227 BC is......?"

Qi Pan said, "It was the 20th year of Qin Wang Zheng."

Twenty years of King Zheng of Qin?

Isn't that this year?!

Prince Dan is going to send someone to assassinate me? ! !

Ying Zheng was shocked!

If this young man really came from a world more than two thousand years later, then what she said would surely come true.

After Ying Zheng decided to return to the palace, he ordered people to keep an eye on Prince Dan's movements at all times.

Qi Pan asked, "Hey, brother, when are we going to Xianyang?"

"I've been sitting here for a while. I'm almost done with my rest. I can leave anytime."

Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment.

He didn't know before that Qi Pan was from more than two thousand years later, so it didn't matter if he took her to Xianyang along the way.

But now I know that it would be bad if I took her to Xianyang again.

If she knew that she had come to Daqin more than two thousand years ago, how would she feel?

If he couldn't get over it for the moment, or wanted to find a way to go back, what should he do?

This young man knew all the movements of the Qin Dynasty and even many things about other dynasties.

If he lets her go back, it will be a huge loss to him, to Daqin, and to the people of Daqin!

It would be better to keep her here first and try every means to make her believe.

This is where she is going, Xianyang Tourist Resort.

After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng said to Qi Pan beside him.
