Chapter 16 Gao Jianli/The musician who made Qin Shihuang dare not approach people from the Six Kingdoms all his life

Gao Jianli, a native of Yan State during the Warring States Period, was the earliest documented expert in construction. Zhu is a percussion instrument in the pre-Qin period and the only percussion instrument before the dulcimer was introduced to my country. At the end of the Warring States Period, the Kingdom of Yan was about to be destroyed by Qin, and Crown Prince Dan of Yan sent Jing Ke into Qin to assassinate the King of Qin.Before leaving, Crown Prince Dan of Yan and the guests put on mourning clothes to see Jing Ke off, because they knew that no matter whether the assassination was successful or not, Jing Ke was on a road of no return.On the Bank of Yishui River, Jing Ke sang "The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone."It was Gao Jianli who played the accompaniment for him.Jing Ke's singing harmonized with his building voice, which made one's eyes runny and angry.

After Jing Ke's assassination failed, all his friends became wanted criminals, and Gao Jianli also changed his name and became a servant.Once, when he heard a guest from the master's house building in the hall, he listened in the hall and criticized the attacker's gains and losses.Someone reported the master, saying that he was just talking nonsense.The master summoned him to the hall and asked him to build a building. Everyone praised him.Gao Jianli felt that it was not a solution to keep hiding like this, and more importantly, he could not realize his long-cherished wish, so he retreated, changed into his old clothes, took out the building that he had treasured for a long time, and came to the hall. Surprised, I realized that he was not an ordinary person.He hit the building and sang, the sound of the piano was beautiful, and the singing was so high that everyone was moved to tears.

Gradually, the news reached Qin Shihuang's ears.Qin Shihuang liked Tingzhu very much, so he asked Gao Jianli to come here.Someone who knew him said to Qin Shihuang: "This man is Gao Jianli, a master of modern architecture, but also a fugitive who participated in seeing Jing Ke off." Qin Shihuang liked his building sound so much that he pardoned him, but blinded him. eyes, let him build for himself. Gao Jianli thought of the demise of Yan State and the tragic death of his friend Jing Ke, determined to avenge his motherland and friends.He pretended to please Qin Shihuang, and let the beautiful building sound gradually dispel Qin Shihuang's wariness.He quietly placed lead blocks in the building to increase the weight of the building.Once, Qin Shihuang was fascinated by Gao Jianli's building sound, and asked Gao Jianli to come to his side to build.When Gao Jianli was intoxicated by the sound of the building, he suddenly raised the building full of lead blocks and threw it at Qin Shihuang.It's a pity that, like Jing Ke's experience, he was escaped by Qin Shihuang.Qin Shihuang was furious and killed Gao Jianli.Since then, he has lingering fears and never dares to get close to people from the Six Kingdoms for the rest of his life.
