<h1>Text/Little Girl Kanshi</h1>
After the fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Eastern Zhou Gradually entered the Spring and Autumn Period of "thirty-six kings, fifty-two countries, and countless princes who could not protect their society", and the assassinations between the princes became more and more cruel and murderous. The later Warring States period was even more bloody.
<h1>First, the murder case of a thousand years ago</h1>
Murder time: One day during the Warring States period.
Murder scene: The streets of South Korea.
Victims: Monarch and Sang-kook of South Korea.
Cause of death: After Han Jun was knocked down by the panicked Han Sumo, he was stabbed to death with a sharp weapon.
Murderer: A strong young man (a woman who later identified herself as Nie Yan and identified the body as her brother Nie Zheng, a man from the deep well), after committing the murder, he wentuged out his eyes, destroyed his face, and cut his abdomen and intestines, and died on the spot.
Official explanation: Han Jun's favorite minister Yan Sui had a conflict with Han Xiang, and Sent the Assassin Nie Zheng to assassinate Han Xiang. This led to the occurrence of this murder. The official reference here is the Warring States Policy and the Chronicle of the Assassins, both of which suggest that Yan Sui was the mastermind.
A nameless strong man fought bravely, killed the monarch and xiangguo of a country, shook the nations, and passed on his name to future generations. First Sima Qian wrote a biography for him, and then there was Ji Kang Fuqin ("Guangling San"), and his deeds were frozen in words and music and were firmly remembered by Chinese.
However, this case is full of doubts, and when we examine the origin of the incident and reopen the "History" for review, we find that this incident is still in the fog.
Nie Zheng's assassination is a famous assassination story during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period
<h1>Second, who is the dead Han Jun? Han Liehou? Han Aihou? </h1>
Regarding the dead Han Jun, there are contradictions in the historical records, mainly entangled in the two people of Han Liehou and Han Aihou.
The "History of Han Shijia" once recorded: "(Han) Liehou for three years, Nie Zheng killed Han Xiangxia tired. "It is not said that Han Liehou was killed at the same time, in fact, Han Liehou reigned for 13 years before he died.
When the Warring States Policy records this incident, it is said that Han Xiang and Han Aihou were killed by Nie Zheng at the same time.
From the third year of Han Liehou to the assassination of Han Aihou, there was a gap of 26 years.
Obviously, Nie Zheng could only assassinate Han Xiangxia once, and if he had assassinated Han Xiangxia in the third year of Han Liehou, it would have been impossible to cross over to 26 years later to assassinate Han Aihou. This is a basic logical judgment.
However, it is interesting that the "Records of History" also records that Han Aihou was also assassinated, but the murderer was a man named Han Yan. The Chronicle of the Ancient Bamboo Book records that the assassin was Han Shanjian.
When the Warring States Policy records this incident, it is said that Han Xiang and Han Aihou were killed by Nie Zheng at the same time
It may also be based on the above contradictions that Sima Qian deleted nie zheng's statement in the "Warring States Policy" that Nie Zheng was "concurrently the Marquis of Sorrow", so when we read the Nie Zheng part of the "Biography of the Assassins in the History", we found that it was only written that he assassinated Han Xiangxia, but did not mention Han Jun. On the surface, this is consistent with the record in the "History of Han Shijia", that is, the assassination of Han Aihou is another matter, and has nothing to do with Nie Zheng. However, in the "Assassin Biography", there is a sentence left "Puyang Yan Zhongzi Affair Han Mourning Marquis", and left a tail.
Sima Guang also took this factor into account when compiling the Zizhi Tongjian, separating Nie Zheng's killing of Xia Lei from the assassination of Han Aihou. However, in the Nie Zheng killing of Xia Tired incident, it is mentioned that Puyang Yan Zhongzi and Xia Lei had a bad relationship, while in the assassination of Han Aihou, It is mentioned that Yan Sui and Han Yu were evil.
Is this a coincidence? I don't think so. If Nie Zheng's killing of Xia Tired has nothing to do with the assassination of Han Aihou, why is the background of the two events the same? Obviously, Sima Guang could not resolve this contradiction.
And in fact: Yan Zhongzi is Yan Sui, and Chia Ti is Han Yu!

<h1>Third, clues</h1>
According to the time sequence, the earliest mention of Nie Zheng's murder should be the "Warring States Policy, Volume XXVIII, Han San, and King Zheng". "The Name of King Zheng" is a statement by someone to explain to King Zheng the relationship between the monarch and the foreign relations.
According to the mention in the exposition, the king of Han can be known that the king of Han who listened to the opinions should be the next king of Han Xuanhui, who was about forty years after the assassination of Marquis Han, and should be able to clearly remember the general course of the event.
Because the original text is too long, Xiaobian will no longer quote here, interested friends can check it for themselves. In a nutshell, the narrator explicitly mentions Nie Zheng as "assassinating both The Emperor" when addressing the King of Han, indicating that Han Xiang and Han Jun were killed together. However, after saying "Xu Yi keed and mourned the Marquis and died", he turned back and said, "It is the reason why the Marquis of Sorrow is the king, and Xu Yi is a lifelong friend." ”
The legend of the advent of "Guangling San" is related to this case
The explanation given by Zhao Yi in the "Examination of the Yu Cong" is that the places involving the mourning marquis in the Warring States Policy are all written wrongly, and should be written as a liehou. Then the phrase "Xu Yike mourned hou and died" said that Xu Yi kicked down Han Liehou and let Han Liehou pretend to be dead to escape the disaster, and afterwards Han Liehou reused Xu Yi and made him a Han Xiang for life. In this way, it is explained why Xia Lei was killed and Han Liehou did not die.
However, it is not only the Warring States Policy that records the assassination of Han Aihou and Han Xiang at the same time, but also "Han Feizi", Han Fei is Korean, about one hundred and forty years after the assassination of Han Aihou, and his record is basically the same as that of the Warring States Policy. Is it true that "Han Feizi" is also wrong?
Why does the "Chronicle of the Assassins" leave the tail of "Puyang Yan Zhongzi Affair Han Waihou"? Obviously, Zhao Yi's explanation is problematic.
Sima Qian also has contradictions
<h1>4. Who is Xu Yi? </h1>
So let's first solve the problem of who Xu Yi is. The description of "Xu Yike mourning the Marquis and mourning" is very similar to the description of "Han Yi walking the king and hugging him, then stabbing Han Yi and mourning the Marquis", so it is easy to think of whether Xu Yi is likely to be Han Yi (that is, chivalrous)?
"Xu" is written in ancient Chinese as "鄦". The glyph of the word "鄦" in the golden text is composed of "big" with two similar symbols, and if these two symbols are written as "people", it becomes "clip", which happens to be part of the word "xia". The traditional character "異" is similar to the character "ghost". Xia Lei wrote "Han Puppet" in the Warring States Policy, "Han Golem" and "Han Yu" in Han Feizi, Thirty-three in "Art and Literature Cluster", and 473 in the Taiping Imperial Dictionary.
Xia Ti is Han Jun's ji father, so naturally it is Han Shi, and the word "Xia" represents his fiefdom, and it is not known where it is. It is impossible to determine which of "Xu" and "Xia" is orthography, which is a false writing, but it can only be said that the two words are related.
According to the above analysis, it can be determined that Xu Yi is a chivalrous (Han Yu).
If Xu Yi is chivalrous, then the phrase "Xu Yi kee mourns hou and dies" actually means that Xu Yi (chia tired) kicked down the mourning hou and died, and the meaning of "殪" is to kill, there is no meaning of pretending to die.
The broken sentence of the relevant sentence of "Saying That Is King Zheng" seems to need to be adjusted, and the editor tries to revise it to: "The meeting of the Eastern Meng, Nie Zheng and Yang Jian stabbed each other and the king, and Xu Yike mourned and died." (The Marquis of Sorrows) immediately thought that Zheng Jun, the people of the Han clan all obeyed the order, then Xu Yi was the first to do it. It is therefore the prince of mourning who is a king, and Xu Yi is a lifelong acquaintance. The first half is a brief introduction to the murder of Han Aihou and Xu Yi, and the second half is to trace the position of Xu Yi (Xia Lei) in the Han clan when Han Aihou was alive, when Xu Yi was alive, the Han clan did not dare to go against Xu Yi's will, it can be described as arbitrary, he and Han Aihou were assassinated at the same time, so "lifelong acquaintance", which has a kind of ironic meaning.
Clementi
After the above analysis, it can be understood that the Nie Zheng assassination incident and the assassination of Han Aihou are actually the same thing, which occurred during the Han Aihou period.
Qinghua Jian's "Lineage Year" just covers the era of Han Liehou's three years, and does not mention the assassination of Han Xiang by assassins, which also makes us wonder whether there is anything wrong with Han Liehou's three-year record of "Nie Zheng killing Han Xiangxia tired". So what year did this event happen?
According to the Chronology of the Chronicle of History, The Marquis of Han reigned for 6 years, and the year of his assassination was compared to 371 BC. However, the chronology of the princes of the Warring States period in the "Records of History" is often confused, and modern scholars often rearrange them according to the "Ancient Bamboo Book Chronicle".
According to the Warring States Chronology rearranged by historian Yang Kuan, the Marquis of Han reigned for only three years, and the year of his assassination was 374 BC, which was three years earlier than the Chronology of the Chronicle of History. According to the Records of the Jin Dynasty, and the Bamboo Chronicle, "Marquis Aihou of Han, Marquis Jinghou of Zhao, and Duke Huan of (Jin) died in the fifteenth year. According to the Chronology of the "Records of History", during the reign of Marquis Jinghou of Zhao for 12 years, Yang Kuan did not adjust the chronology of Marquis Jinghou of Zhao, and the year of his death was ranked as 375 BC, which was 1 year different from the year of the assassination of Yang Kuan's adjusted Chronology of Marquis Han Aihou, which was already relatively close.
Another benchmark is the fifteenth year of the Duke huan of Jin, also in 374 BC, so the absolute date of the assassination of Marquis Han should be in 374 BC. If Yang Kuan's arrangement of the Marquis of Han was correct and reigned for only 3 years, then the three-year chronology of the "Nie Zheng killing Han Xiangxia" of Han Liehou may be the mistake of Han Aihou's three years.
Therefore, the assassination should have occurred in the third year of Han Aihou
<h1>Fifth, restore history, the real culprit behind the scenes is someone else</h1>
According to what the editor said earlier, let's do a little more combing.
The time of the murder: One day in the third year of Han Aihou.
Victim: Han Jun, Han Mourning Marquis, Han Xiang (Xia Lei/Han Xi/Xu Yi).
Murderer: Nie Zheng
So who is behind the scenes? Is it really Yan Yi? Let's revisit history.
In the second year of the Reign of Han, in 375 BC, the State of Wei and the State of Chu fought a fierce battle at Yuguan, and The Koreans took the opportunity to destroy the State of Zheng.
In the process of destroying Zheng, it was the Korean Xiangguo hero who played a key role. He was the uncle of Han Aihou and had a strong appeal in the clan office, and under his operation, the Han family was unprecedentedly united, and no one dared to disobey his orders. It was in this situation that Xia Lei honored the Marquis of Han and moved the capital of Korea from Yang Zhai to Zheng, after which Korea was also known as Zheng Guo.
At the same time, after the fall of the Zheng state, its former neighbor, the Western Zhou State, as an agent of the royal family, had to deal with Korea. At this time, the Western Zhou Emperor was the Duke of Wei of Western Zhou, and the emissaries sent by Korea to deal with Western Zhou were Yan Sui, the favorite of the Marquis of Han.
According to historical records, Yan Sui was a very arrogant person, pretending that he was the favorite of the Marquis of Han, and neither Xia Ti nor Western Zhou Jun paid attention to it, which caused great dissatisfaction among Western Zhou Jun. Western Zhou Jun's courtier Feng Feng gave advice to his master and suggested that he find a way to assassinate Xia Ti, so that the Koreans would think that this incident was Yan Sui's doing, which could both strike at the Korean forces and put Yan Sui in an unfavorable situation.
It can be seen from this that Yan Sui may not be the mastermind behind the assassination of Xia Ti, and the real black hand behind the scenes is the Western Zhou Wei Gong and Feng Feng Junchen.
The real culprits behind the scenes were the Western Zhou Weigong and Feng Feng Junchen
<h1>Sixth, a thousand years of pursuit of the murderer</h1>
As the editor said earlier, in the Annals of the Ancient Bamboo Book, it was recorded that a man named "Han Shanjian" assassinated Han Aihou. Who is this "Han Shanjian"?
According to the inference of "Han Yan and his princely mourning" recorded in the "History of Han Shijia", Yan Yan is connected, and "Yan" and "Shanjian" are one name and the other is a word. As for who "Han Yan" is, some people advocate linking with Yan Sui, and some people advocate the separation of the two.
In fact, there is no need to be so complicated, the Warring States Policy : King Zheng has already mentioned that a man named "Yang Jian" was involved in the assassination with Nie Zheng, and Han Shanjian was obviously Yang Jian. When this person was the Han clan, that is, the Korean Gong clan, there was no "Yang Jian" or "Han Shan Jian" in the "Chronicle of the Assassins", and the assassination operation was completed by Nie Zheng alone, so this Yang Jian was probably the real planner of the assassination.
In the end, how deeply the Western Zhou Junchen intervened in Nie Zheng's murder, the record of the Warring States Policy revealed a lot of key information to us:
The Yan clan is a thief, while the Yang is erect and Yan. Dao Zhou, the fourteenth day of Zhou Junliu, was sent by car and horse. Han made people let Zhou, Zhou Jun suffer. The guest said of Zhou Junyue: "The saying goes: 'The widow knows that the Yan clan is a thief, and the Yang Shu is with it, so he stays for fourteen days to be on standby.'" Small countries are insufficient to tolerate thieves, and the messengers of kings are not to be sent. ’”
The "Yang Jian" in "Yan's For Thieves" is obviously a mistake of "Yang Jian", and after confirming the identity of the assassin who killed Xia Lei and Han Aihou, the Koreans quickly found out that Yang Jian was related to the incident, and at this time Yang Jian had already fled to the territory of Western Zhou Jun, and The Duke of Western Zhou Wei took Yang Jian in for 14 days, and then provided him with a carriage and horse to let him flee elsewhere.
The Western Zhou Dynasty was divided
When the Koreans found out where Yang Jian was going and settled accounts with Western Zhou Jun, Western Zhou Jun, under the planning of his courtiers, designed a set of grandiose words to send the Korean emissaries. The person who helped Western Zhou Weigong to make up his words should be Feng Feng, mentioned in "Han Feizi".
The reason why Yang Jian intended to kill Xia Tired was nothing more than that Xia Tired was too arbitrary in the clan room, and Yang Jian, as a disciple of the Han clan, was disobedient and probably did not want to kill Han Aihou. Feng Feng must have discovered that Yang Jian was dissatisfied with Xia Tired, so he pushed the boat along the water and assisted him in planning the assassination of Xia Tired, otherwise Western Zhou Jun would not have had to take in Yang Jian who was on the run.
From this point of view, Nie Zheng should be an assassin recruited by Yang Jian, which has nothing to do with Yan Sui, if Yan Sui had to wait for Nie Zheng to send his old mother to his death in order to find Nie Zheng to kill Xia Tired, several years have passed, and in the Warring States era when the situation is changing rapidly, I am afraid that it is not realistic at all. The interaction between Yan Sui and Nie Zheng in the "Records of History" and "Warring States Policy" is described almost in the language of the novelist.
Who admitted that during the period of panic, he actually used Han Aihou as a shield, which led to the death of Jun Xiang, and Yang Jian had no choice but to hurriedly support Han Ruoshan, the son of Han Aihou, to the throne, for Han Yihou.
Yan Sui did not know where he was at the time of the incident, if he was in The Capital of Han, he would inevitably be arrested first; if he was in Weiguo, he was the first wanted target of South Korea, and Nie Zheng's murder incident naturally had to be counted on his head when the truth was not known, so the "Warring States Policy" would have the saying that "Yan clan is a thief".
Zhou Dynasty monarch map
After becoming Han Jun, Han Yihou refused to give up, and must find out the real cause of his father's death, and Yang Jian was forced to flee to Western Zhou after the plot was finally revealed.
Of course, he managed to get away with it, and as for how long he could escape, in the absence of historical records, only God knows. Only the "Han Shan Jian Thief And His King Mourning Marquis, and Li Han Ruoshan" left in the Bamboo Book Chronicle tells us part of the truth of the incident.
As the biggest black hand behind nie zheng's murder incident, the Western Zhou State vainly attempted to disrupt the political situation in Korea with assassination and power plots, which was bound to arouse the resentment of Han Yihou.
Seven years after Han Yihou came to power, that is, in 368 BC, The Duke of Wei of Western Zhou died of illness. Korea and the State of Zhao supported the sons of the Duke of Wei of Western Zhou separately, and fought fiercely over the succession of the Western Zhou State, causing the Western Zhou State to split into an Eastern Zhou State.
And the Feng Frustrated who planned Nie Zheng's murder is still shown in the "Warring States Policy", his name is written "Feng He", after the division of Western Zhou, he still regarded Western Zhou Jun as the orthodox, and used power and trickery to kill the traitor Chang He of Western Zhou. It is estimated that the second half of his life is still endlessly squandering his inexhaustible schemes to help the Western Zhou Kingdom survive, right?
As for the story of Nie Zheng's assassination of King Han recorded in cai yong's "Qin Cao" written by Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is basically a mixture of the stories of Yu Rang's assassination of Zhao Xiangzi and Gao Xiangzi who stabbed Qin Shi Huang, and it is even more distant and unattainable from the truth of history.
