Zhou Li records:
"Sikong is the winter official among the six officials. He is in charge of civil construction and water conservancy construction. He has a rank of ten thousand stones, a gold seal and a purple ribbon. His rank is civil official. He opens the government and sets up Cao Cao. He is the chief historian, Sima and Shiren. He is engaged in Zhonglang. The other members are important ministers and add officers." Xiao Yi inspected the coastal defense and made the "Sea Area Atlas", inspected the southwest border and made the "Defense Atlas", compiled the geography, mountains and rivers, and the layout of military forces, inspected the water army, and made the "Strategy of the Land and Water Army" , returned to Qingfengzhai outside the capital, and compiled these three elements into the "General Map of Geography and Civil Engineering".
Then he looked at the gold seal on the desk, sealed the title, and walked out of the thatched cottage. The little ant entered the palace to pay homage to the ant king and said:
"Your Majesty." The Ant King sat in the main hall and said:
"Sikong, you're here." Then Xiao Yi took out the "General Map of Geography and Civil Engineering" from his sleeve and presented it to him.
The ant king saw the album presented by Sikong and asked:
"What is your offer?" Xiao Yi replied:
"This is the "General Geographical and Civil Engineering Map" compiled by me when I inspected the coastal defense and southwest border. According to the geographical advantages of mountains and rivers, the military deployment and city construction outline along the water area, the king can see it all at a glance." The Ant King took it. Spread this album on the ground, and look at it yourself. Standing on your own territory, you look at the little ant standing next to you and say:
"Xiao Yi, what are you...?" Xiao Yi said:
"Your Majesty, I am about to leave the ant clan. I hope your Majesty will take good care of yourself." The Ant King stepped forward, stood in front of the little ant, and said:
"Xiao Yi, you and I were together when we were children. What's wrong? Are you about to leave Xiao Yi?" Xiao Yi took a few steps back, saluted, looked at each other, and said:
"Your Majesty, I can't bear to leave you, but I have decided to leave. I hope your Majesty will understand." The Ant King lowered his head and said:
"Since Little Ant has made up his mind, it is inconvenient for Little Ant to keep him by force." He then raised his eyes and said:
"Xiaoyi, where are you going?" Xiaoyi replied:
"Middle-earth, I heard that there are many knowledgeable people in Middle-earth or the territory is vast. I went to Qilu to visit Confucius, the sage of mankind, and set up a private school like Confucius to spread benevolence and realize the great unity of the world." The Ant King saw that it had great ambitions. , how can a small ant tribe trap an ambitious insect?
After Xiao Yi bowed and saluted, he took a few steps back and turned around before walking out of the palace hall. The ant king walked out and shouted:
"Little Ant." Little Ant turned around and knelt down, then looked up and said:
"Your Majesty." The ant king stepped forward to help the little ant and looked at the little ant. It could be seen from their eyes that it was difficult to let go of him in their hearts.
Then the lady brought a pot of tribute wine. The Ant King turned around and poured the wine into the wine vessel, picked up the wine cup and said:
"Little Yi, let this wine be considered as a farewell for you. I don't know when we will see each other across thousands of mountains and rivers." Little Yi took the wine cup from the King Ant and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine." Then he drank it in one gulp, put it on the tray raised by the lady, and said:
"If we are destined to meet each other, we will meet." He stepped back and bowed before leaving. The ant king looked at its leaving figure and shouted:
"Little Yi, you and I are bound to be destined. I want you to see when my ant clan dominates the South China Sea." Little Yi walked alone in the streets and alleys, watching the insects coming and going, it stood Among these insect swarms, seeing that the people are prosperous and healthy under its governance, I am satisfied, and there is nothing more I can hope for.
I squeezed out of the insect swarm and looked back at the bustling street. As the sun set in the west, I returned to Qingfengzhai at dusk, sat in the Tingfeng Pavilion, and immediately wrote down
"Tingfeng Pavilion" says:
"When I heard the wind coming from outside the pavilion, I was so happy that I wrote this note. The purple and red colors are extremely enchanting, the flowers are blooming and falling, spring is gone and autumn is coming, I sit and watch the clouds rolling and relaxing, and the changes of the vicissitudes of life. Last night, the rain hit the window sill, and the flowers looked beautiful. The color has faded and haggard, falling with the wind. The clouds, rain and mist cover the mountains, and the mountains are green and thick, or the mountains are undulating and rolling. Tens of miles have passed through the spring and autumn, and the stars have changed. Can you still be here? Who can remember? Entering the secluded place, wet and muddy, stained by rain My clothes are still full of grief. I am repairing the bamboo tapes, and I can hear the drizzle of rain falling, or I can hear the melodious sound of the kong and the harp, the elegant sound of the sheng, and I am looking for a scholar to say goodbye. Or I can sit in the wind pavilion and talk about the vastness of the universe and the brilliance of the stars. Let’s talk about my ambitions. I have strings, strings and bamboos, and I sing them leisurely and contentedly. I am going far away, don’t think about it, this is the ambition of the swan. I have been admiring my life, and have been dissolute. I call myself a gentleman of Confucianism and virtue, and a scholar. Also. Maybe the stream comes from a stone stream, with luxuriant forests and bamboos, and visits with wise officials to discuss the prosperity of the country. Whenever major events occur, they deal with or solve them. The poems of this king are as elegant as the poems. After a thousand years, future generations and The article was written in Zai, and the self-commentary was written in Qingting. I will leave, and the road will be long. I will look back with tears, and write down my pen." Xiao Yi put down the pen in his hand and shed tears.
At dawn, Xiao Yi packed up, got into the carriage, looked back at Qingfengzhai, and drove away. Along the ten-mile long street, people walked along the street to see each other off, crying and crying, or running and shouting.
Xiao Yi looked around, got out of the carriage, and shouted:
"Prime Minister, Big Ant, we are reluctant to let you go. You have made our people prosperous, healthy, and able to live and work in peace and contentment." Mr. and Mrs. Yan rushed forward, knelt down in front of Little Yi, and said:
"Xiangguo Big Yi, don't leave, we are reluctant to let you go." Xiao Yi helped the Yans and his wife up, faced these people, and said:
"You all get up, get up." The people looked up and shouted:
"Xiangguo Big Yi, we don't want you to leave. You will always be a good official in the hearts of our people, blue sky!" Xiao Yi stood among the people and said:
"Folks, listen to me, listen to me, there is no such thing as a banquet in the world that lasts forever. The ant must be the prime minister, the ant must be the insect, the worm is gentle and wise, the people will be rich, the country will be strong and it will be possible to unify the South China Sea. After I leave, You must produce well, be self-reliant, and contribute to the country. A strong country will be your solid backing." Then he stepped forward to help them up and said:
"You all get up, get up." The old man held Xiao Yi's hands and said with tears:
"Xiangguo Big Ant, you must come back often. Xiangguo Big Ant, take care of yourself!" The little ant said:
"Old Chong, you should take more care of yourself." The old man nodded and said:
"Okay, okay." Xiao Yi took a few steps back, bowed, and turned around to get in the car. Later, some people followed him to see him off. Xiao Yi reached behind him, stopped, got out of the car, and said:
"You all go back." The people shouted:
"Xiangguo Big Yi, let us see you off." Xiao Yi bowed deeply, turned around and got into the car, and drove all the way out of the city before stopping.
Seeing Xiao Yi's carriage leaving, he shouted:
"Xiang Guo, great ant, have a safe journey." The carriage stopped outside the ten-mile long pavilion. Xiao Yi got out of the car and entered, standing in the pavilion, overlooking the undulating mountains, and felt deserted. Maybe they were busy with state affairs and had no time to send them off, so they had to give up.
Walking out of the pavilion and standing in front of the carriage,
"Good brother, little ant brother." A worm called out from behind it. Xiao Yi turned around and said:
"Xiang Guo, my wise brother Pangolin." He came forward to greet him, and then the insects entered the pavilion hand in hand. Xiangguo Xuanti smiled and said:
"How can we not have wine at this time?" The little ant looked at the pangolin and its prime minister, the bearded ant, and was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.
Xiangguo picked up the lunch box and opened it. It was full of wine and meat. Xiang Guoxu said:
"Xiao Yi, you are about to leave. Let me send you off with this wine and delicacies." Xiao Yi said with a smile:
"It's disrespectful to take advantage of the prime minister's meal before leaving." Pangolin said from the side:
"Then I also want to be honored by my virtuous brother. Prime Minister, please don't complain." He then faced Xiao Yi and said:
"Brother Xian, I really want to accompany you. Wherever you go, I will accompany you and protect your safety along the way." Xiao Yi said:
"Don't have this idea. I will keep you by your side to protect your safety. The important task of protecting your king falls on you. Don't take it lightly. Learn more about the philosophy of governing the country from the prime minister and learn strategies from the swordsmith. This is what you have to do." The pangolin said without thinking:
"Is there anyone else who can't rebel?" Xiao Yi said:
"Just in case, if the generals have too much power, they will rely on their own troops. This is not a good thing after all. These generals are very loyal to the king, but if they are later kings, it will be difficult to control them. These generals are brave and good at fighting, and they are all tough. , and has great military exploits, how can the subsequent king control it? This is something you should consider." Xu Yan said:
"What Xiao Yi said is absolutely true. Brothers pangolins, don't act out of emotion." Pangolin said:
"I just listen to my wise brother." Xiao Yi put some vegetables into the pangolin's bowl, then faced the bearded ant and said:
"The termites will not be reconciled to losing the southwest region and will definitely lead their troops to invade. The prime minister needs to persuade the king to send heavy troops to defend." After hearing this, Xu Yi was a little confused and said:
"Why do you think so, Xiaoyi?" Xiaoyi replied:
"The termites have broken their promise not once or twice. The termite king is extremely face-saving and arrogant. The termite clan's prime minister, Guo Yi, can still keep his promise, but the termite king is not like this. He will definitely send troops to take back the Southwest Territory." Xu Yan listened. Then he nodded in agreement and asked:
"Which ant should I send as my general?" the little ant replied:
"The ferocious ants are the generals. The mountains in the southwest are steep. Build fortifications according to the mountains. They can take advantage of the mountains to resist the enemy's invasion. They only need 400,000 troops. Defending the pass will definitely block the termite army in the capital. Within the Post City and Shitan City." Xu Yan looked at these meals and said:
"Xiao Yi, you see, we are just talking and the food is getting cold." Xiao Yi raised a bottle of wine and said:
"Let's drink this bottle of wine first." Xiangguo Ant and Pangolin raised the bottle of wine and drank it in one sip. The little ant saw it and drank it together.
On this day, the swordsmith entered the palace to meet the Ant King, knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty." The Ant King sat in the Qinzheng Hall and said:
"I love you." The swordsmith stood up and sat aside. The ant king faced the swordsmith and said:
"What's the purpose of the general's visit to the widow this time?" the swordsmith said:
"Your Majesty, if you want to govern a country well and unify the South China Sea, insect talent is very important. I advise the king to build a recruitment hall to gather talents from all the countries in the South China Sea to jointly assist the king in achieving great achievements." After hearing this, the Ant King said:
"I agree. I have a picture album called "General Geography and Civil Engineering Plan" here. General, please take a look at it." The swordsmith took the picture, spread it on the ground, and exclaimed:
"This picture brings together mountains and rivers, military defenses and city construction, as well as the key points of water conquest. I don't know who this insect was by this great talent. I decided to pay a visit."
