(Hou Ying)
The story of Xin Lingjun stealing a charm to save Zhao, see "History of the Duke of Wei". Later, when the State of Zhao was invaded by the Qin army, Hou Ying offered a plan for the Emperor of Xinling, stole the Tiger Charm of the King of Wei, and sent troops to save Zhao.
The storyline is tortuous, the characters are alive and fascinating, and the water behind it is so deep that we can't afford to explore.
There is a hidden world in the story. And Hou Win is our key to opening this world.
Who is Hou Ying? This doesn't seem to be a problem—the "GateKeeper of the Great Beams", a guard at the city gate.
But a janitor, how much prestige can he have, so much so that he can move a prince of a country? When Xin Lingjun heard of the great name, he also paid homage to him and gave him generous gifts, and set up a grand banquet, in which everyone sat widely and paid homage to Hou Yingbi. What had Xin Lingjun heard about to make friends so sincerely?
Did you hear that Hou Ying's doorkeeper saw it well? So please ask him to come to the door?
Obviously, Hou Ying was not the master of the communication room, and looking at the gate was just a cover. What is his true identity? What did Xin Lingjun hear?
Let's see what Hou Ying's energy is in, it is not difficult to understand.
(Ru ji)
First, Hou Ying controlled a vast and detailed intelligence network, and the tentacles of this intelligence network even extended into the bedroom of king Wei.
The Qin army besieged the Zhao state of Handan, and Xin Lingjun wanted to save his sister (Lady Zhao Pingyuanjun), while the King of Wei was afraid of Qin and did not dare to send troops. At this time, Hou Ying provided several pieces of intelligence:
There is an important thing, in the bedroom of the King of Wei, the Tiger Charm, which can mobilize the Wei army;
First, there is a key woman who is also in the bedroom of the King of Wei - Ru Ji, the most pampered, can come and go at will;
Second, between you and the woman in the Wei King's bedroom, there is a bit of a story - such as Ji's father was killed by someone, such as Ji Ji's reward for three years, no one can avenge her. If Ji Ji cries with you, you send someone to cut off the head of the enemy for her.
Therefore, as long as you go to Ru Ji, Ru Ji will definitely steal the Tiger Charm for you, and you can send troops to save Zhao.
The depth of Hou Ying's wisdom and strategy is already amazing, and the meticulousness of the information in his hands is even more chilling. In the territory of the State of Wei, was there anything else he didn't know?
Second, Hou Ying's pocket is stocked with well-trained senior killers who can take lives in an instant.
Before Hou Ying introduced Xin Lingjun to his friend Zhu Hai, a butcher, said that he was a sage, where was the sage, did not say; Xin Lingjun did not understand, several times to visit Zhu Hai, Zhu Hai did not thank him, Xin Lingjun still felt strange.
When he got the Tiger Charm and went to the Wei army camp to seize the military power, Zhu Hai's role was reflected. The commander of the Wei army was called Jin Yi, and he was a "general of the Wei Army", that is, a brave veteran general, who was afraid that he would not be so cooperative. If he became suspicious, refused to hand over power, and wanted to verify with the King of Wei, what would he do? This seems to be a problem for us, but it is not in Zhu Hai's place.
"Zhu Hai sleeve forty pounds of iron vertebrae to kill Jin contempt." Just a simple vertebral action, kill a battle-hardened brave player in a second.
When he stood silently behind Xin Lingjun, no one would notice this humble retinue; and when Jin Shi showed a slight sense of doubt, without waiting for Xin Lingjun's orders, Zhu Hai completed the killing in an instant. The weapon was a forty-pound iron cone—apparently not a butcher's regular equipment—hidden in his sleeve before the attack. The iron vertebrae hit the top, not only was it certainly fatal, but it didn't even leave him with the chance to make a note.
Or a butcher? Who will believe? Ming is a well-trained and experienced killer. And the person who manipulated him was Hou Ying.
What deeds did Xin Lingjun hear about Hou Ying before? Isn't the answer clear?
The State of Wei– most likely encompassing more than the State of Wei, existed in a well-organized, large-scale underground criminal organization whose criminal activities included at least gathering intelligence, raising killers, and hiring to kill people. And Hou Ying is obviously a very important figure in this organization.
And Xin ling jungui is a prince of a country, the current brother of the king of Wei, he blindly befriended an underground criminal organization, why did he come?
Warring States nobles, with the style of raising soldiers, the four princes - Wei Guoxin Lingjun, Zhao Guo Pingyuan Jun,
Chu Guo Chun Shen Jun and Qi Guo Meng Taste Jun, are among the leaders, leaving many legendary stories.
The purpose of raising a soldier is, to put it a big way, to recruit talents, serve the country, and guard against the invasion of the Qin state; to a lesser extent, it is to develop personal power and consolidate and expand personal rights and interests. There is inevitably a conflict between these two aspects.
The development of power like Xin Lingjun was obviously not a positive factor for the State of Wei, at least for the King of Wei.
Xin Lingjun's association with the criminal organization has a long history, and he may be the gold master behind the underworld.
Like revenge for Ru Ji, the King of Wei could not do it, but Xin Lingjun could do it. This is not necessarily that the Xinling Junxian can overcome the King of Wei, but the rules are different. The King of Wei always had to follow the methods and methods that were obvious in the world and approved by everyone, and the monarch could not always use assassins to solve internal problems, that was the Emperor of The Dark Lord—of course, there were regimes that did this, but they all perished quickly; and Xin Lingjun did not have to pay attention to any rules, he relied on another set of anti-social logic.
Befriending Hou Ying, no doubt, is to be more closely integrated with this underground world. Xin Lingjun was making reserves for future criminal activities. Its intentions may not be enough for outsiders. If it were not for the unexpected incident of the Qin army encircling Zhao, this underground force would inevitably collide with the forces on the ground to a certain stage, thus having an adverse effect on social stability.
Simply put, Xin Lingjun was a time bomb in the State of Wei. In any case, it is a very frightening thing that the national elite forms a symbiotic relationship with criminal organizations.
Hou Ying's advice for Xin Lingjun and the theft of charms to save Zhao were undoubtedly beyond the bounds for him and his organization. There are underground borders underground, and the things he can manage are more or less like charging people to kill people, taking revenge on valets, and so on. When it comes to military affairs, it is not his responsibility.
Hou Ying was a wise man, and he did this entirely out of friendship, and the kung fu of Corporal Lixian of the Xinling Junlixian was not in vain. But crossing the line will certainly come at a cost. Hou Ying could not account for the two worlds on the ground and underground, and could only die. This is the reason why when Xin Lingjun went to the army to seize power, "Beixiang killed himself".
This was also the reason why Xin Lingjun could not return to the Wei kingdom from then on.
Stealing a charm to save Zhao is naturally a beautiful talk in the Zhao Kingdom, but what about in the Wei Kingdom? Undoubtedly an appalling scandal. The social management of the Wei state, palace security, and the transfer of military power have all exposed very terrible loopholes, which although they existed before, but now they are indeed punctured by Xin Lingjun. In order to save his sister, Xin Lingjun used criminal means to risk the security of the entire country, and lost the face of Wei Guo in front of the people of the world.
When he was proud, someone reminded him that there was nothing to be proud of, you had merit to Zhao, but you were disloyal to Wei. Xin Lingjun listened to this, and he understood what he would face if he went back, so he stayed in Zhao Guo from then on.
And the underground world of the Wei Kingdom has lost a big guy.
