Now the top priority of the Yan State is to recruit the army, the prince Dan officially ordered the implementation of the reward military merit system, all the men who are recruited into the army, give three stones of millet every month as a reward, and the Qin army attacked, where the beheading level, reward one or two gold, give the title of first; beheaded the third class, rewarded with five taels of gold, and appointed as a sergeant; Behead ten levels, reward twenty taels of gold, and worship as a doctor.

Although the difference between the lower doctor and the sergeant is only one level, there is a difference between heaven and earth, because the officials who have reached the level of the doctor are qualified to participate in the government of the court, or serve as local officials such as the taishou and the county guard, and they can have fiefs and food estates, and whether it is actual power or wealth, they are far higher than the sergeant. And being able to worship as an official at the level of a doctor, for an ordinary civilian, means that he has risen to prominence and stood out.

As a result, after the conscription order of Prince Dan was issued, the people of Jijing were very eager to sign up for the army, firstly, the folk customs of Yan State are not weak, and the country has been established for more than 800 years, and there is indeed a strong sense of identity foundation in the hearts of the people, and the people of Yan State really do not like Qin State and do not want to be ruled by Qin State; The second is the system of rewarding military merits formulated by Prince Dan, which also allows the people to see the hope of getting ahead and making meritorious contributions.

As a result, in only three days, Prince Dan recruited nearly 10,000 young and middle-aged men from the people of Jijing, and issued them armor and weapons for drills. Seeing this scene, Prince Dan also increased his confidence, believing that he would be able to lead the army and the people to defend Jijing.

At this moment, another piece of good news came, Jing Ke's friend Gao gradually left, and Tian Qing, the son of Tian Guang, a hermit of Yan Kingdom who recommended Jing Ke to Prince Dan, recruited more than 200 ranger swordsmen to come to the aid of Yan Kingdom.

It turned out that after Jing Ke's assassination of Qin failed, Gao Yanli left the Yan Kingdom and did not know where to go, and Prince Dan was busy resisting the Qin army and did not care about his whereabouts, after all, Gao Yanli was just a musician in Tai Xiaodan's mind, and it didn't matter whether he was there or not.

However, Gao Yuanli did not escape, and recruited ranger swordsmen, preparing to find another opportunity to assassinate Qin Wangzheng in order to complete Jing Ke's unfinished feat. Later, when he heard that the Qin army was attacking Yan and that Tai Xiao Dan was organizing resistance to the Qin army, Tian Qing found Gao Yanli and persuaded him to take people to Tai Zi Dan to help Yan resist the Qin army. So Gao gradually left and brought more than 200 ranger swordsmen to Jijing.

After everyone saw each other, they were also sad and angry, and immediately hugged their heads and cried. After crying, Prince Dan immediately ordered to appoint Gao Yuanli as a military advisor, worship as a doctor, appoint Tian Qing as a general, worship as a middle doctor, and serve as his left and right assistants, and the ranger swordsmen brought by Gao Yuanli also had their own rewards, and the lowest was also named a corporal.

Subsequently, Prince Dan and Ju Wu, Gao Yanli, Tian Qing and others discussed the matter of facing the Qin army.

Gao gradually left and said: "I heard that the prince and Daijun Wu Anjun have a very good personal relationship, Wu Anjun is proficient in the art of war, is a famous general in the world, and the men and horses under his command are also soldiers who can recruit and fight habitually, why don't the prince ask Wu Anjun to send troops to aid Yan and jointly resist the Qin State?" ”

Prince Dan smiled bitterly, and then told him about his envoy to Daijun.

After Gao Yanli listened, he was quite dissatisfied with the plateau, and said: "The Yan Dynasty is dependent on each other, and the current enemy is on the side, how can Wu Anjun still remember these small feuds and small mistakes, regardless of the overall situation, he is not talented, and is willing to send an envoy to Daijun for Tai Xiao, persuade Wu Anjun, and send troops to rescue Yan Guo." ”

When Prince Dan heard this, his heart suddenly moved, although he had no hope that Gao Yuanli would send troops to rescue Yan Guo, but if Gao Yanli could say that he could move the plateau, of course, it would be better, from Tai Xiaodan's heart, he still welcomed the plateau to send troops, and even if Gao Yanli said that he could not move the plateau, there would be no loss to Yan Guo, so he might as well let Gao Yanli leave and give it a try, so Tai Xiaodan immediately gave Gao Yanli a salute and said, "Then please ask Mr. to work hard." ”

Gao Yanli also returned the salute and said, "I have no responsibility to take out a loan." ”

Prince Dan said: "I don't know what else Mr. needs?" I prepare for Mr. immediately below. ”

Gao gradually left and said: "Please give the prince an order, Jing Ke will go to righteousness for the world, and the whole country of Yan will mourn to show the martyr's martyr's festival." After paying tribute to Jing Ke, when you go to Daijun in white clothes, you will be able to convince the plateau with the righteousness of the world. ”

Prince Dan had a sudden attack in his heart, he was the prince of Yan State, and naturally knew that the righteousness of diplomatic relations between the two countries was not worth a few dollars, and he wanted to persuade the plateau in the name of the righteousness of the world, which was tantamount to a fool's dream, it seemed that Gao Yuanli was still naïve, but he didn't visit him to give it a try, and he mourned for Jing Ke, which could arouse the anger of the whole country of Yan State, and it was also very beneficial to resist Qin, because the art of war is cloudy: mourning soldiers will win. Therefore, Prince Dan also nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it immediately." ”

So on the next day, Tai Xiaodan ordered that a memorial platform would be set up to lay Jing Ke in the place where Jing Ke crossed the Yishui to Qindu River, and ordered the Yan State to mourn the whole country, and the whole army was dyed with ink, and also made a special memorial to commend Jing Ke's feats and aspirations.

And just when Prince Dan was busy holding a big sacrifice for Jing Ke by Yishui, he suddenly received an order from Yan Wangxi to order Tai Xiao Dan to enter the palace and have important matters to discuss with Prince Dan.

After Tai Xiaodan received the order, he thought that Yan Wangxi really had something important to discuss with him, so he didn't dare to slack off, and handed over the matter of the altar to Ju Wu, Gao Yanli, Tian Qing and others, and he only took a bicycle back to Jijing, because there was no danger in Yan Kingdom along the way.

Tai Xiao Dan's carriage and horses had just walked to the city gate, only to see a team of Yan troops rushing out of the city gate, each holding a halberd, and surrounded Prince Dan's carriage. Tai Xiao Dan was stunned for a moment, and said sharply: "I am still Ji Dan, the prince of Yan Kingdom, what are you doing here?" ”

At this time, a carriage came on, and there was a military general with a helmet and armor standing on the car, Tai Xiaodan knew, this person was the son of the Yan State Commander. Riding robbery is one of the clans of the Yan Kingdom, and it is also one of the leaders of the clan who oppose the Yan Kingdom's change of law, and his son will lead the army to surround him, which will naturally not be a good thing, so the prince Dan was not shocked, and said sharply: "Riding Yi, do you want to rebel?" ”

Qiyi sneered and said, "Prince, the last general is not a rebellion, but still under the order of the king." Look, he opened the bamboo slip in his hand and said, "The king has an order: Prince Dan is plotting to cause chaos, and he will be killed immediately!" ”

Tai Xiaodan was stunned for a moment, and almost instinctively said loudly: "I don't believe it." ”

Qiyi snorted, threw the bamboo slip in his hand to Tai Xiaodan, and said, "Go and see for yourself." ”

Prince Dan took it and took a look, only to see that the bamboo slip was indeed stamped with Yan Wangxi's seal, and he couldn't help but "buzz" in his head, his eyes were black, and he suddenly didn't wake up.

It turned out that after Yan Wangxi ordered Tai Xiaodan to guard Jijing and resist the Qin army, and announced the end of the war, Yan Guo held a law change, which immediately caused tension among the Yan clan.

Because in this era, although the form and content of the law changes vary from country to country, the general principles are nothing more than strengthening centralized power, rewarding cultivation and warfare, recruiting people based on materials, providing opportunities for those with real materials and practical learning, and breaking the ruins between the clan and the upper echelons. The first to suffer from the reform is naturally the clan family that relies on the hereditary system to ascend to the throne, that is, the immediate benefits under the old system. Therefore, the strongest opposition to the change of law in various countries is often the clan family.

The Yan clan led by Shangqing Honggao, Da Sima Cavalry and Liaoyang Jun Gongzi Yuan is no exception, just after Yan Wangxi ordered, Prince Dan was busy resisting the Qin army, they also gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and it was Prince Dan who ordered to implement the system of rewarding military merits, in the eyes of the clan family, this is not to stimulate the morale of the Yan army and people, but to seize their own power, that is, the prelude to the change of the Yan State.

So the Yan clan also immediately took action, of course they would not blatantly oppose the change, but pointed the contradiction to the prince Dan, because it was the prince Dan who advocated the change of the Yan country, so as long as the prince Dan was removed, the Yan country would not change the law, and they could keep their rights. As for the threat of the Qin army, after all, it is not in front of it, and we will wait until the prince Dan is removed.

Three days later, Prince Dan went out of the city to deal with the matter of paying tribute to Jing Ke, and Honggao, Qijiao, and Gongzi Yuan came to see Yan Wangxi, and brought more than 500 Yan clansmen to write a joint letter, cloud: "In the world of the Warring States, those who stabbed the King of Qin in Xianyang with a sharp blade in their hands are only Yanye." Qin so especially attacked Yan anxious, and thought that Prince Dan was the main plot to assassinate Qin! Prince Dan was convicted of Qin for his revenge against Qin, and it affected the Yan Kingdom, why did he treat the ancestors of the Yan dynasties! If the king kills Dan to sacrifice the king of Qin, the king of Qin will relieve his troops, and Yan Guoshe is fortunate to have blood and food! ”

Yan Wangxi finished reading the joint letter of all the clans, and before he could say a word, he fell and fainted by the side of the case. Honggao, Riding and Robbing, Gongzi Yuan saw Yan Wangxi fainting, and immediately ordered Yan Wangxi to send Yan Wangxi back to the palace to recuperate, and ordered Gongzi Yuan to lead the army to guard the palace, control Yan Wangxi, and ride and rob the army to guard the four gates of Jijing, Honggao discussed in the name of Yan Wangxi, and stole Yan Wangxi's seal, recruited Prince Dan back to Jijing, and issued an edict to kill Prince Dan.

Seeing that Prince Dan fainted in the car, Qi Yi couldn't help but say, and immediately ordered the soldiers to do it, grab Tai Dan, cut off the head, and go back to the city to hand over the order.

Seeing the head of Tai Xiao Dan, Honggao, Qi Rob, and Gongzi Yuan were also very relieved, as long as Prince Dan died, Yan Guo would not change again, so the three of them took Prince Dan to see Yan Wangxi.

Seeing his son's tragic death, Yan Wangxi couldn't help but cry, but he also understood that the matter had come to this point, and he was powerless to recover, because this time Honggao, Qijiao, and Gongzi Yuan had gathered all the clans, since they dared to kill Prince Dan, if they didn't follow them, they would also dare to deal with themselves, so Yan Wangxi had to officially issue an edict to confirm that Prince Dan was indeed plotting to make trouble, so he ordered to be executed! handed over the state affairs to Honggao, Qijiao, and Gongzi Yuan, and at the same time ordered someone to take Prince Dan's head to the Qin army to rescue him.
