Mr. Wang said with emotion: "what if Qin Wuyang could come up to help Jing Ke? What if it was not Qin Wuyang who accompanied Jing Ke, but Jing Ke's best friend?"
Mr. Wang has a lot of imagination in this passage. After reading Mr. Wang's imaginative words, I feel that the failure of the assassination of Qin Shihuang is not due to Jing Ke, but to the loss of his assistant, or the improper selection of his assistant by Prince Yan. Is that true? A friend said in my blog incisively: "imagination is OK, the key is to be reasonable." That's great. Is Mr. Wang's imagination reasonable? Unreasonable. Not only unreasonable, but also naive.
Will Qin Shihuang allow Qin Wuyang and Jing Ke to go to the palace together? Obviously not. Under normal circumstances, even Jing Ke would not be allowed to go up to the hall and present the map to the first emperor of Qin. The map will be picked up by a specially assigned person, and then transferred to it. Jing Ke can only stand under the steps to answer questions. No matter for the sake of etiquette or safety, it is impossible for Mr. Wang to imagine that Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang are sandwiched on both sides of the first emperor of Qin, while the guards of the state of Qin are far away from his royal highness. Therefore, Mr. Wang's words that "Qin Wuyang is responsible for hijacking the king of Qin with murderers, and Jing Ke's task is only to deceive the king of Qin" are purely taken for granted. No matter whether Qin Wuyang is scared, the assassination can only be completed by one person, either Jing Ke or Qin Wuyang.
The first emperor of Qin allowed Jing Ke to go up to the hall and come to him. It was too generous and careless. It gave Jing Ke a great opportunity. Many evidences show that the failure of the assassination was entirely due to Jing Ke's stupidity and his lack of preparation for more than two years.
As I have demonstrated in "real Qinshihuang: outwitting the six Kingdoms", it took at least two years from Prince Yan and Jing Ke to talk about good conditions for assassinating Qinshihuang to the implementation of the action. In these two years, Jing Ke should at least make the following preparations:
First, practice Throwing Knife. It's two years. How can we get some accuracy. If you can't go to the hall near the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, the flying sword can defeat the enemy. The knife is faster and more accurate than leather shoes. But Jing Ke didn't practice.
Second, practice your skills, turn back running, triple jump and so on. If you can't go to the temple, you can rush up with a few arrow steps. So Cao Mo, the general of the state of Lu, rushed up from his highness and hijacked Duke Huan of Qi with a knife. Jing Ke didn't practice. As a result, Emperor Qinshihuang relaxed his vigilance and Jing Ke went to the hall, but he was not able to catch up with him.
Third, practice grappling. What if the map with the dagger was not allowed to go to the palace with Jing Ke, or if Qin Shihuang took the map and sent it to a special person for collection? If he could capture it with several hands, he could still kill people without a lethal weapon. Peng Sheng, under Qi Xianggong, killed Duke Huan of Lu with his bare hands. It's not hard to learn how to catch and fight. A few moves are enough. With a little arm and hand, you can overturn a person to the ground. Once you break your chin and neck, it's easy to kill people. Jing Ke didn't practice either.
Fourth, practice short sword versus long sword. In this way, even if the stab failed, the legs were not sharp, and they did not catch up with Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang pulled out his long sword, and the two fought in the palace. Qin Shihuang was not a swordsman, so the short sword might not be in the downwind, and it might not be impossible to turn defeat into victory. Jing Ke still didn't practice.
Fifth, the worst. You have to show the map several times. At least you have to know where the map is, and the dagger will show. You have to act before the dagger leaks. Make a fork to distract Qin Shihuang's eyes, shake the map, let the dagger slip from one end to his hand, and then jump at him with a knife, and roll with Qin Shihuang on the ground. At this time, can Qin Shihuang still escape (for this, interested friends can demonstrate it. In order to increase the difficulty, there can be a table in the middle)? Unfortunately, Jing Ke did not even make the simplest preparation.
How can you succeed without any preparation? Qin Shihuang has carelessly asked you to go to the palace, which is close at hand. Originally, you can defeat the enemy without a dagger, but Jing Ke can't capture and fight. Qin Shihuang didn't take away the map to let you hold it, but Jing Ke also showed his head to let the dagger show; The dagger was in the middle of the two men, but you took it in your hand first. Originally, Qin Shihuang would be doomed, but Jing Ke went to pull other people's sleeves. They chased Qin warriors in the palace, but they didn't dare to help. Qin Shihuang drew his sword while running, but Jing Ke chased them, but they didn't catch up; The first emperor of Qin drew out a long sword, and Jing Ke also had a short knife in his hand. His feet were short and his inches were strong. As a result, Jing Ke failed to fight against the first emperor of Qin. Who do you blame for Jing Ke's death? Can you blame Qin Wuyang? I don't think so. Does Jing Ke really have that amazing friend to succeed? I don't think so. The failure of Jing Ke's assassination lies in himself. For two years, I only knew how to play with women and eat haisai. I was not only hollowed out by wine and sex, but also wasted my good time. Such a person, let alone assassinating a head of state, is doomed to fail in everything he does. God, it's fair.
