Gao Jian Li was a citizen of Yan & a player of the Zu (a type of musical instrument). After the death of Jing Ke, Gao changed his surname and name and became an assistant in a wine shop as Qin Shi Huang is cracking down on all friends of Jing Ke after the assassination attempt. As the work is very hard, Gao would usually pace around the house of the owner of the wine shop listening to the guests playing the Zu in the owner's house. He would commend about the playing until one day when someone told the owner what Gao said about his guests' skills in playing the Zu.
So the owner asked Gao to play for him and his skillful play won him the heart of the owner. Qin Shi Huang heard about the event and decided to summon Gao to play for him. Someone recognised Gao and told Qin Shi Huang about his real identity. Qin Shi Huang loved music very much and decided to pardon Gao but not before making him blind.
The skill of Gao won him praises from Qin Shi Huang and after a few performances the emperor lost his guarding of Gao began to mover nearer and nearer to him. Gao sensed the movement and secretly hid lead pieces in the instrument, when the emperor is within striking distance, Gao took a strike but missed. Gao was subsequently executed and Qin Shi Huang stopped being close to people from the other states.
