Sima Qian laughed and said: "The article is made by nature, and it is obtained by chance." At the age of twenty, the old man began to travel the world. I set out from Chang'an, Beijing, and traveled southeast, leaving Wuguan to Wanluo, and south to Xiangfan to Jiangling. At the Gangneung Ferry, he met an old man in yellow who called himself 'Huangshi Gong'. When he saw that I couldn't put it down, he talked to me about his life's ambitions. With tears in my eyes, I said, 'Although the boy is not smart, he must complete the plan of compiling history, and no matter what difficulties he encounters, he will not dare to slack off in the slightest.' Seeing that I was determined, the old man smiled and nodded. 'What a terrible thing to live afterward! So, he gave me a bookcase, which contained a wonderful pen, nine volumes of heavenly books, and space shackles, time shackles, and instructions for the use of these four treasures. Before I could say thank you, the old man in yellow disappeared, knowing that I had been taught by the immortals, and I looked into the sky and worshipped. A fairy voice came from the air, 'Two thousand years later, you will meet a young destined person like you, give him the bookcase for me, remember!' I shouted into the air. 'Definitely, definitely! Then pick up the bookcase, continue to hurry, trace the water to Xiangxi, and then turn southeast to Jiuzhi, watch the Shun Emperor weather, peep Jiuzhi and go north to Changsha. Go to Qu Yuan's abyss to hang, cross the Dongting, go out of the Yangtze River, and go down the river to the east. Climb Lushan, view Yu Shujiujiang, and turn over Qiantang. On the meeting, explore the Yu acupoint. Also browse the palace room of Chunshenjun. Shanggusu, looking at the five lakes, looking for Tao Zhugong's boating journey. After that, he crossed the river in the north, crossed Huaiyin, went to Linzi and Qufu, inspected the culture of the Qilu region, and learned about the legacy left by Confucius. Trapped in Po, Xue, Pengcheng, and then along the Qin and Han dynasties of the turbulent hometown of historical figures, the battlefield of Chu and Han struggles, through Pengcheng, Lipei County, Feng, Tang, Kaifeng, back to Chang'an, in the past three years, I relied on the time to lock the door, the night meeting sages, and solve doubts. During the day, you can rely on the space to shackle the car, climb the mountain and cross the water, and enjoy the scenery of the river. In his spare time, he reads nine volumes of books, and is well-read and memorized. In the meantime, there is a comprehension of the experience, and it is recorded one by one with a wonderful pen. So far, he has traveled thousands of miles and broken 10,000 books, and only then did he have the "Historical Records" that he later wrote. ”

Kong Qi was in awe of the teacher in front of him.

This old man was tortured by the palace because he said a few words of conscience for Li Ling's defeat, and so far, carrying the ideal that has not been completed in his life, he calmly accepts it in the face of capital punishment, and completes the mission that belongs to Taishi Gong in tenacity and humiliation.

It turned out that in the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent his brother-in-law, Li Guangli, the general of the second division, out of Jiuquan to attack the Xiongnu Youxian King. wanted Li Ling, the grandson of General Fei Li Guang, to escort grain and grass for the army, but Li Ling refused.

The reason is that Li Ling was born in the general's gate, and he admires Naizu's "Lin Dark Grass is frightened, and the general draws the bow at night." Ping Ming looked for the white feather and sank into the stone ridge. Just as the charge was in front, how could he be behind the people, and invited himself to invite 5,000 infantry to drive directly to Shan Yuting to outnumber, Emperor Wu appreciated Li Ling's courage and agreed to him.

Sima Qian, who was standing on the side, saw that behind Li Ling's departing back, His Majesty the Emperor cast an inexplicable and strange glance.

However, when Li Ling led his troops to Junji Mountain, he encountered the men and horses of the Xiongnu Shan Yu. Li Ling's troops fought hard, and the Xiongnu soldiers came overwhelmingly, gathering more and more, and there were 50,000 people, waiting for help. After the halberd sank into the sand and the grain was exhausted, Li Ling finally surrendered to the enemy.

Emperor Wu was furious, and all the ministers denounced Li Ling's sins.

Only Sima Qian said: "Li Ling served his relatives and filial piety, had faith with the scholars, and always had the heart of serving the country, he only led 5,000 infantry, attracted all the strength of the Xiongnu, and killed more than 10,000 enemies." Although he was defeated and surrendered to the enemy, his merits can be offended, I think Li Ling is not really surrendering to the enemy, he survived and wants to find an opportunity to repay His Majesty! ”

Later, with Gongsun Ao's rescue of Li Ling, he failed. After falsely claiming that Li Ling was training troops for the Xiongnu in order to counterattack the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu ordered the killing of Li Ling's entire family.

And Sima Qian was also convicted of "slandering the second master and lobbying for the mausoleum", which was convicted of false accusation.

The sin of false accusation is a great crime of disrespect, and it shall be punished according to the law.

Sima Qian faced the punishment of Dapi, Mu Yi died, although the name can be guaranteed, but the book has not been completed, the name has not been established, this death is like a drop in the hair, and the death of the ant is no different.

Thinking of King Wen being confined to his cell and deducing "Zhou Yi", Zhong Ni wrote "Spring and Autumn" when he was in distress, Qu Yuan was exiled to have "Leaving the Sorrow", Zuoqiu was blind and had "Chinese", Sun Bin was punished by bare feet and cultivated the art of war, Lü Buwei was relegated to the territory before "Lü's Spring and Autumn" was handed down, and Han Fei was imprisoned in the Qin State and wrote "Difficult to Say" and "Lonely Indignation". Most of the 300 poems are works of wise men and saints to vent their anger.

Finally, Sima Qian resolutely chose to redeem himself with palace punishment, without cowardice, and left it for use to complete the magnificent historical masterpiece.

Kong Qi's heart was like a knife at this time, and he thought in his heart: "How can I save this venerable old man from the sea of suffering." ”

Hurriedly leaned down, went to get the water scoop in Sima Qian's hand, and said, "Teacher, let the disciple scoop the sea water for you." ”

"Good apprentice, you can't take this scoop!" Sima Qian said with a smile.

Kong Qi only felt that the water scoop tentacles, weighing thousands of catties, where could he move the slightest? This is too inhumane, such an embarrassing old man.

Suddenly, he was furious and said, "Oh my God! You are wrong and foolish! ”

As soon as the words came out, I saw the bitter sea in front of me splitting and cracking, and a girl rushed out of the water, her palm was like electricity, and she had already fanned her two mouths, and her cheeks were red and swollen.

The change started in a moment, and in a hurry, the wind shouted: "It's not good." "Flying up his sleeves, he was already fighting with the girl Ling Bo.

I saw that the girl was dressed in purple, it was her, it must be her! Drops of water on your cheeks roll down your crystal countenance, blinding you.

Whether it is the ice in the Valley of the Immortals, the pure jade, the extraordinary purple clothes; is still a girl who is like a dragon, swinging in the heavenly palace. Her beauty has been engraved on Kongqi's heart and cannot be forgotten.

Even if she turned a blind eye to him, had no impression, even if she turned him into a wild boar and destroyed him, even if she abandoned him like a shoe. Even now, suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, slapping him heavily, he didn't care.

Kong's red and swollen face turned even redder, and he hurriedly shouted, "Wind girl, come back quickly, don't fight." ”

At the same time, Sima Qian also said: "Ziyi, stop!" ”

Feng'er obeyed Kong Qi's words, heard Kong Qi's call, returned to the boat.

The fairy in purple heard the teacher call her, and also stepped on the bow of the boat. Jiao smiled and saluted Sima Qian, and said, "Master, let your old man suffer, the disciple has long wanted to come to see you, but I don't know where you were imprisoned by your father?" It wasn't until three days ago that I drunk your captive Dingjia Shenjun with fine wine, and he drank and spat out the truth, and told me that you are here. I swam across the Oriental Sea, dive deep into the Brackish Sea, jump into the tornado whirlpool, and came to the Bitter Sea, where the water is so bitter! I wandered in the sea of misery for a long time before I found my teacher. ”

She pointed at her and glared angrily: "I heard this guy who doesn't know the height of the sky, shouting and accusing the heavens, has the heavens provoked you?" ”

"I, I'm ......" Kong Qi was all on her, no matter what she said or did, he wouldn't blame her. Seeing her accusing herself, she was speechless for a while, and she didn't know what to say.

Feng'er couldn't watch it from the sidelines, glaring angrily, and was about to sneer at each other.

saw Sima Qian laugh and said, "Qi'er, come and meet your fifth senior sister." Ziyi, this is Kong Qi, a student who has just received for the teacher, he just said an angry word, why take it seriously. ”

Kong Qi hurriedly bowed forward and saluted, and said earnestly: "Senior sister, junior brother has something to say offensively, you have a lot, can you forgive me?" ”

It turned out that the teacher had newly accepted the disciple, and as a senior sister, she was on the right stand, putting on a good look, and was about to say something about the discipline of "respecting the teacher and being sympathetic to the same family". At a glance, I saw the Feng'er girl next to her, looking at her as if she was facing a great enemy.

Ziyi is so smart, she can see the girl's thoughts at a glance: first, she likes the handsome junior brother in front of her very much; secondly, the innate jealousy that a woman shows in relation to her beautiful woman; Third, she seems to be worried that she will grab a boyfriend with her.

She couldn't help but laugh in her heart, and decided to tease the girl who was disrespectful to her.

Ziyi hurriedly held Kong Qi and said tenderly: "If you want to ask for forgiveness, you should apologize to your senior sister, I don't ask about it, I will slap you, shouldn't it, does it still hurt?" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his white and tender fingers and stroked his porous cheeks. In the meantime, she peeked at Feng'er next to her, and saw Feng'er stomping her feet in anger, and the water splashed everywhere.

Purple Yi was secretly proud.
