"The sun-chasing dragon whale has a long lifespan, but its number is rare. It likes to live alone. It pursues the sun as its lifelong wish and has no fixed place to live."
Fang Gongdao: "You live a long life, but you are alone without a companion. If you chase the sun, but the sun rises and sets, you will feel sad and lonely. Therefore, letting creatures live on your back may be to relieve loneliness."
"Of course, this is just my family's words. It's just casual and not trustworthy."
Ye Qing cupped his hands and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Fang."
He felt that Fang Gong's guess was somewhat credible.
"By the way, Mr. Fang and Mr. Li, how come you are living together in a group?"
Feng Qingyou said curiously: "Of course, I'm just curious. If there is any inconvenience, Mr. Fang and Mr. Fang don't have to answer."
Fang Gong and Li Xian looked at each other, and Fang Gong said: "There is nothing inconvenient. I am originally from Southern Xinjiang, and my ancestors were once prominent, but they have fallen into decline in my generation. The land of Southern Xinjiang is chaotic and has wars all year round. As a last resort, my family and I fled overseas. We originally wanted to find an island to settle down, but we never expected to be targeted by pirates again."
"My whole family was killed by pirates, and I was also thrown into the sea by pirates. I thought I would be buried in the sea and die here, but I didn't expect to survive. I drifted with the current and came to Zhurihou. Later, I lived here. .”
Hearing this, Feng Qingyou apologized to Mr. Fang: "It was me who made Mr. Fang sad."
"It's okay, this happened more than thirty years ago, and I have already let it go."
Fang Gong waved his hand, indicating that nothing happened, and then looked at Li Xian: "Scholar, it's your business. The scholar was very famous back then, maybe you have heard of him?"
"What kind of reputation is there? Don't listen to Mr. Fang."
Li Xian smiled and said: "Li is a native of the Qi State. His ancestors lived in Leya. He once had a bad reputation in the Qi State. Unfortunately, he had bad luck and failed to win many prizes. Later, he was framed by traitors and sycophants. He was despised by others. Then he threw himself into the sea, but he never thought of drifting here and being rescued by Fang Gong."
"Everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death. I have died once. When I wanted to die again, I no longer had the courage and strength I had at that time. I felt it was magical, so I settled here."
"Li Xian? Le Ya?"
Feng Qingyou thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Sir, are you Li Qiangu and Li Shijie, who are known to write down the history with one stroke and determine the situation with one word of strategy?"
"Hahaha... Scholar, it seems you have been recognized." Fang Gong joked with a smile.
"It seems that you are indeed sir." Feng Qingyou was still slightly shocked. She stood up and bowed her hands to Li Xian and said, "I failed to recognize you before, so I was negligent. I hope you will forgive me?"
The same is true for Ye Qing.
It's not that they are making a fuss, it's actually that Li Xian's reputation is too great.
Li Xian was once the first child prodigy in the Qi State. He had read hundreds of classics since he was a child. He could write a poem in seven steps and a text in ten steps. When he grew up, he had a beautiful belly and a world in his chest. He wrote countless popular poems and songs, and also He once wrote "Ten Essays on Eliminating Harms", "Nine Ways to Benefit the People", and "Ten Thousand Words for People's Livelihood" and other eternal articles, expounding the pros and cons of the Poetry Bureau and the methods to rejuvenate the country and benefit the people. It was a pity that the emperor of Qi State was ignorant and treacherous at that time. Not only did these articles fail Being able to be taken seriously is even more disgusting to the emperor and those in power. Therefore, Li Xian failed repeatedly and found it difficult to become an official in the court.
However, Li Xian was not discouraged, but changed his name and surname, became a corporal, and became an aide to King Yan, the thirteenth son of the Emperor of Qi at that time.
At that time, King Yan was young and fledgling. No one thought that King Yan had the qualifications and ability to become the emperor of Qi.
However, Li Xian relied on his own efforts to overcome all difficulties and assisted King Yan in ascending to the throne at a young age.
After King Yan ascended the throne, he appointed Li Xian as prime minister.
At that time, the young ruler of Qi was in charge of the country. The internal political situation was chaotic and the people's livelihood was in decline. Externally, other countries were eyeing him with evil intentions.
As the prime minister, Li Xian punished traitors at home, reformed the government, enriched the people and strengthened the army, established diplomatic relations with distant and close enemies, stopped wars and troubles, and stabilized the border areas. In just ten years, the precarious Qi State was transformed into a state with strong military and strong horses. A prosperous country with rich people.
Yes, Qi's current strength and prosperity are all due to Li Xian's achievements. Li Xian's name has naturally been spread all over the world, and he is respected and supported by people. Even people at that time only knew Li Qiangu and Li Shiji, but did not know what Emperor Qi was. who!
The cunning rabbit died and the lackeys cooked it, the birds were all good and the bows were hidden, and the enemy country was defeated and the ministers perished. Although Li Xian single-handedly helped the building to collapse, his achievements were great and the master was shaken. Even though Li Xian had no intention of being disloyal, he was still favored by the emperor. Suspicion and fear, coupled with the frame-up and frame-up by traitors, the Emperor of Qi was furious and wanted to kill Li Xian, but the people refused and tens of thousands of people wrote in blood to plead for Li Xian's mercy.
Although the Emperor of Qi was unwilling, he had no choice but to replace Li Xian's death with demotion. He removed Li Xian from his official position, demoted him to a commoner, and exiled him overseas, never to return to Qi.
During Li Xian's exile, wherever he went, the people lined the streets to welcome him. Everywhere he went, the people cheered and cheered. However, at that time, Li Xian was already disheartened. When he arrived at Wanghai County, to prove his innocence, he wept and sang and threw himself into the sea. .
After Li Xian's death, the people were grieved and excited. They scolded the Emperor of Qi for being fatuous, listening to slanders, harming the loyal and good, scolding treacherous ministers for being in power, framing loyal ministers, being unkind and unjust, and even once triggering a civil uprising.
In desperation, Emperor Qi could only issue an imperial edict to reflect on his mistakes, and imprisoned and executed all those who had framed and framed Li Xian. He then posthumously named Li Xian the Duke of Wei, with the posthumous title of Xian Lie. The grievances and anger of the people have just been calmed down.
Even though Li Xian has been dead for many years, on every anniversary of his death, people and officials will spontaneously go to Li Xian's tomb or the place where he committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea to pay homage.
This shows Li Xian’s status in the hearts of the world. How can such a person not be admired and admired by others?
Even though he and Feng Qingyou were not from Qi.
"Young Master Ye and Miss Feng don't need to do this."
Li Xian stretched out his hand and motioned for the two of them to sit down: "Li Qiangu and Li Shiji are both dead long ago. The one in front of you now is just the scholar Li Xian."
Fang Gong asked curiously: "Since Miss Feng recognized the scholar, what happened after the scholar threw himself into the sea? Has the scholar's grievances been washed away, but can anyone clear the scholar's name?"
Feng Qingyou looked at Li Xian, but Li Xian was calm and indifferent and said casually: "It's okay, girl, Li wants to hear it too."
"Okay." Feng Qing smiled faintly and said, "After Mr. Li's death, all the people suffered and the public sentiment was excited..."
After Feng Qingyou threw Li Xian into the sea, the people were outraged. Emperor Qi admitted his mistake, killed the traitor, and narrated the story of Li Xian to the two of them.
After hearing this, Fang Gong was sighing and a little aggrieved. It is undoubtedly a sad thing to know loyalty only after death, and to be innocent only after death.
What's more, this kind of innocence was only repaid under the pressure of the people. Does the man from Qi really admit his mistake and really regret it?
I'm afraid it's probably not the case, which is what's even more irritating.
