Wangsitai is located in the imperial city of Chang'an, more than 30 zhang high, composed of 99 wooden ladders, is the Xiongwu Emperor in order to remember his queen and the prince built, on the day of completion, the Xiongwu Emperor left other civil and military officials, only tightly held the hand of Sima Linggong, climbed this small piece of the nearest place from heaven.

If you want to be poor, you can go to the next level, and only by going to the next level can you see wider and farther. It just so happened that at this time, the "Shi Yin Ji" written by Sima Linggong with his life's work was also completed, so life and death were no longer important to Sima Linggong.
"Sima, I've read your "Shi Yin Ji", and you actually compare me to that tyrant First Emperor?
Road.
Sima Linggong didn't answer Emperor Xiongwu's reprimand, he just straightened out his white hair that was blown by the wind, turned around, turned his back to Emperor Xiongwu, and then raised his head and looked into the distance.
The emperor is the emperor, even if death is approaching and the time limit is approaching, Emperor Xiongwu will never dare to lightly put down the emperor shelf he inherited from his father.
Don't think that it is an honor for Emperor Xiongwu to invite Sima Linggong to go to this lookout platform, just below this lookout platform, there are dozens of sword and axe hands on standby.
In fact, what Emperor Xiongwu feared most was that the "Shi Yin Ji" faithfully recorded his four major mistakes during his reign:
First, the emperor was very happy, and he fought for many years and consumed the treasury;
Second, the emperor is superstitious about the magic of immortals, sealing Zen and seeking immortals, killing his wife and children;
Third, the emperor is a Confucian and an internal law, with a strong desire for power and superstitious self-will;
Fourth, the emperor expanded the territory and conquered the barbarian slaves, resulting in heavy taxes and forced labor, and a large number of peasants went bankrupt and went into exile. Uprisings broke out everywhere. In short, in the emperor's later years, the society was turbulent, and the Han Continent almost became a crisis.
Of course, Sima Linggong also understands very well that the Xiongwu Emperor at this time is actually more anxious than him, the so-called "long live" is all deceitful, for the Xiongwu who has not had much time, there is nothing more important than having a good reputation behind him.
Seeing that Sima Linggong's attitude was so resolute, and there was no sign of loosening, the Xiongwu Emperor at this time was a little flustered in his heart, he was really afraid that Sima Linggong would be forced to be anxious this time, and Sima Linggong would jump directly from the lookout.
"Ling Gong, you see, otherwise, I will pardon Li Zhen, and then recall him back to Chang'an to be named a general, and... And also... Your Sima family is waiting for the whole family, and I will also make a monument of merit for you. Let your children and grandchildren remember your merits, what do you think?" for the first time in his life, Emperor Xiongwu spoke in such a low tone.
"Alas, Your Majesty, although you have avoided the disaster of the death of Qin, you can't avoid the fault of the death of Qin, Your Majesty can be sorry for me, but I, Sima Linggong, must not be sorry for the descendants of our nation because of Your Majesty's little favor. Sima Linggong still turned his back to the Emperor Xiongwu and replied truthfully and categorically.
"Ling Gong, have you forgotten? This is the world of my Liu family, and you are my courtier, you have to do what I let you do! Otherwise, you will be a complete rebel and thief. Emperor Xiongwu said loudly and threateningly.
"Your Majesty, your surname is Liu, and your husband's surname is Sima, so we are not a family, you are the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, however, if the emperor has no way, God will naturally let other families replace your family. Sima Linggong replied indifferently.
After saying this,
Sima Linggong himself held on to the wooden railing, and walked down the 99-section lookout in high spirits, and the lonely Emperor Xiongwu who remained on it completely fell, and before he died, the Emperor Xiongwu finally shouted a woman's name:
"Son-in-law... ”
"Son-in-law... I'm sorry for you. ”
Emperor Xiongwu, a generation of heroes, played an unprecedented great contribution to the formation and development of the Han nation.
The unity of man and nature,
In fact, it is not in the sky, but in the people.
The "man" who is in the man-made.
