The next morning, Liu Jin came to Shiqu Pavilion with his people and many gifts.

The old lady Shi Sima Qian had already led people to wait at the door.

"Old minister..." The old Grand Historian, who was already gray-haired and old, came to Liu Jin and bowed to him: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Grand Prince..."

"Old lady's wife, please get up quickly..." Liu Jin immediately stepped forward and helped the respected Grand Historian: "Gu'an dares to be the worship of the old lady's wife?!"

As he said that, Liu Jin supported Sima Qian and walked into the Shiqu Pavilion together.

"The old minister is simple here, I hope His Highness the Grand Prince doesn't dislike him..." Sima Qian bent over and invited Liu Jin to the head of the emperor, insisted on letting him sit down, and then asked, "I don't know His Highness the Grand Prince, suddenly came to the door today, but if there is anything to do, I can use the old minister..."

After hearing this, Liu Jin quickly bowed and said, "I'm not hiding the old lady's history. I'm here to visit today. I really want to ask the old lady's history for help..."

"Your Highness, please say..." Sima Qian said: "It is a blessing for the old minister to be able to help you..."

Liu Jin then longed and said, "I have heard that using history as a guide to know the rise and fall, using people as a mirror, and know the gains and losses. Recently, the government has changed a lot and the country has many troubles, and I am worried. Therefore, I come to ask for help from the old lady and ask for advice on the past and present. I hope the old lady will give you advice!"

Sima Qian listened to Liu Jin's words and suddenly laughed: "This statement must be from Yinghou..."

"The old lady knows Zhang Qing too?" Liu Jinqi was over.

"Although the old minister is studying history in this Shiqu Pavilion and stays in his arms, how can he work behind closed doors when writing history? He must quote from all parties and ask about internal and external words..." Sima Qian smiled and said, "How can the old minister not know about heroes like Yinghou?"

Liu Jin listened, nodded slightly, and then listened to Sima Qian: "In ancient times, gentlemen did not mirror water, but mirrored people. Mirrored in water, just face the face of meeting. When mirroring in people, they would know good luck and bad luck... A hero... a real man!"

Liu Jin listened, his eyes lit up and he bowed: "The old lady's words are not the same as the slightest!"

"A gentleman does not mirror the water, it is not what the old minister says..." Sima Qian smiled and shook his head: "This is what Mozi said!"

"Therefore, the old minister is a talented man, a hero, and a real man!"

When Liu Jin heard this, he thought to himself, and then he bowed: "The old lady is noble and honest, and she respects her deeply!"

Sima Qian seemed to have not heard Liu Jin's words, and just said to himself: "The virtues of the Mo family are different from those of hundreds of schools. They are three feet tall in the hall, three levels of earth stairs, and they are not cut, and they are not scraped with rafters. Therefore, they are no different from their superiority and inferiority, and they respect righteousness and die lightly. Therefore, their way has declined and has withered to this day, and they are incapable of turning the world... The heroes who can pick the Mo family's skills and use them on Confucians can also leave a glimmer of hope for Zi Mozi..."

Liu Jin listened to Sima Qian's words and naturally knew that the old lady seemed to be pointing something.

Sima Qian looked at Liu Jin and suddenly laughed: "Old minister, I always like to talk, I hope your noble will forgive..."

Liu Jin hurriedly bowed: "How dare you? I wish to listen to the old lady Shi's words!"

Sima Qian and his family are the most famous historians of the Han family. The family history can even be traced back to the reign of King Xuan of Zhou in the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, Sima Qian's ancestors were already the historians of King Xuan.

After the fall of Zong Zhou, the Sima family was scattered all over the world, and one of them fell into Qin and became the ancestor of Sima Qian's branch.

Sima Cuo, a famous general of Qin, is one of the best.

Sima Cuo's son Sima Jin, who was the confidant of Bai Qi, the king of Wu'an of Qin, and was the direct commander of killing 400,000 Zhao soldiers in Changping.

The Grand Historian in front of him is Sima Jin's fifth generation grandson.

He and his father, the late Taishi Ling Sima, had been a Han historian for nearly seventy years, spanning the years since Taizong.

So, facing Sima Qian, this old lady with gray hair, bent waist and back, wrinkles on her face, and almost lost her teeth.

Liu Jin felt like history came alive.

The heavy vicissitudes and magnificent epic seem to unfold before your eyes.

He vaguely felt that if Sima Qian didn't know about the historical allusions and characters from Zongzhou to the present, then no one could understand the world.

So Liu Jinchang bowed again: "I wish to listen to the good words of the old lady Shi!"

Sima Qian then sat down and said to Liu Jin: "What do you want to know?"

Liu Jin did not rush to ask questions, but first ordered to the left and right: "You all retreat, block the left and right, and do not let others disturb the orphan and the old lady's history!"

"No!" The loyal servants of the grandson immediately withdrew from the crowd, drove all the civil servants and eunuchs in the Shiqu Pavilion out, and then closed all the doors and windows.

At this time, Liu Jincai asked: "Dare you ask the old lady's history? In your opinion, can there be similarities in today's countries and historical books?"

Sima Qian listened, smiled and asked, "Your Highness wants to ask you, or do you want to ask your ministers?"

Liu Jin asked, "How are you?!"

"Qi Heng, Zulong..." Sima Qian said without hesitation: "Since Emperor Gao, the Han Dynasty has been humiliated by the Huns, and the Xia Dynasty has been controlled by barbarians. How similar is this to China before Qi Heng? Qi Heng's respect for the king and expel the barbarians, and the great revenge of the present are also very similar..."

"And the ancestors and dragons reigned on Liuhe, with the same chariots and the same verses, and once measured, the current rule of Liuhe, abolished the power of the princes, and set up their own internal dynasties, and the government orders depend on one heart..."

Liu Jin was frightened and creepy when he heard this.

Qi Heng and Zulong are naturally all heroes.

However, the outcome was miserable.

Qi Heng dies and Qi declines, and Zulong dies and the earth divides.

His grandfather did such a great cause and did so many things.

Isn't it costless?

However, no one dared to say these things so bluntly before.

Liu Jin took a deep breath and bowed again, "What about that?"

"My minister..." Sima Qian closed his eyes, thought carefully, and then said, "The general, Grand Sima, Pingjin Xianhou, Zhang Tang, Ji An and others died one after another. The people who rose up had a long time, had no more material for the country or the country. The old minister once thought that the generals of the world were as dangerous as eggs..."

"However..." Sima Qian sighed slightly: "Zhongni said: Those who are born to know are better than those who are learned, and those who are knowledgeable are more knowledgeable and knowledgeable... The old minister once thought that those who are born to know are the old sayings, but he did not expect that in this twilight years, he could see another person..."

"This heaven will not destroy the Han Dynasty!" He sighed and said regretfully: "Twenty or thirty years later, no one can accept the Zhou Duke, Yi Yin, and Sheying Hou!"

"Even now, I am still disappointing the hopes of the world and gathering the hearts of all peoples in my own body!"

Speaking of this, Sima Qian suddenly asked Liu Jin: "Your Highness, you are accused of Qi Heng. In his later years, Zulong met Yi Yin, Zhou Gong's mighty heroic spirit, Qi Heng, Zulong's choice?!"

Liu Jin listened and was stunned.

Duke Heng of Qi and Emperor Long Shi, were naturally the first-class heroes, with a broad mind and aura of swallowing thousands of miles.

Therefore, Qi Heng could accept Guan Zhong and entrust him with the country and the country, obeyed the rules, and respected the king and expelled the barbarians, overthrew the Spring and Autumn Period, and became the emperor Fang Bo, and the rituals and music conquests came from Qi Heng.

Therefore, Zulong was able to use Meng Tian, ​​Wang Jian, Zhao Gao and Li Si, and countless Kanto talents.

From this, the army of tigers and wolves of the Great Qin swept across Liuhe, swallowed thousands of miles, and unified the world.

but……

That was in their prime, when the heroes were determined to be thousands of miles away, so they could tolerate what others could not tolerate, use what others could not use, and do what others could not do.

Cruel to the enemy, even more cruel to yourself!

However, what about Qi Heng and Zulong's old age?

At that time, the hero was in his twilight years and the hero was in the end. Can you still feel at ease when you meet Yi Yin and Zhou Gong again?

Liu Jin didn't know.

But the strangeness of the government and his grandfather's meaningful actions and arrangements seemed to have revealed some answers.

But he didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't think about it.

Moreover, more importantly, Liu Jin's thinking turned to another thing.

The questions in his heart were like fireflies in summer, flying in his mind and lingering in his mind.

What did Qi Heng do in his later years? Liu Jinqing knew clearly what Zulong did in his later years, and Liu Jin knew also clearly.

Liu Jin also clearly understood the consequences caused by this.

So, the great man's grandson couldn't speak at all.

He tried hard to swallow his saliva, trying to speak, but he couldn't say a word.

After a long time, Liu Jin bowed to Sima Qian, then stood up and said, "I have been bothering the old lady Shi Lianglong, and I am really sorry. I will say goodbye to you. Please take care of the old lady Shi!"

Then, in Sima Qian's smile, he turned around and pushed open the door, and staggered away with his servants.

Because of him, he found a problem that he had always ignored.

That is, who will ups and downs after now?

Who has the final say in this world?!

This is a cruel question, and even more a cruel question!

And he knew that he would face this problem sooner or later!

In his later years, Qi Heng fought for the throne, King Wuling of Zhao was trapped in the sand dunes, Prince Zhang was killed, and Zulong was killed in his later years, Meng Tian and Fusu were unjustly killed by Zhao Gao and Li Si. The second generation was in chaos, so the second generation died.

At that time, when the ancestor dragon was in his prime, there was a prophecy that "the ancestor dragon died and the earth was divided."

Nowadays, the Han people also have the saying "That who replaced the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao."

His grandfather, who is the son of today, once publicly said: There are six or seven disasters in the Han Dynasty, and the law should be ordered again. Who should be the descendants of the royal family respond to this? The six or seven or fourty-two generations of Han Dynasty should be the best!

Although this was said in order to compete for the right to speak with scholars of the modern literary school in order to compete for the right to speak with ancient Chinese literature that advocated "respecting the new king".

But this statement has a great impact.

Now, after listening to the words of Sima Qian of the Grand Historian, Liu Jin inevitably thinks of this section.

It is impossible for Liu Jin to link the current political situation with all kinds of unusual things without thinking too much!

"I heard that if the water is full, it will overflow, and if the moon is full, it will be deficient. Everything is too much or too little. Therefore, if there are great things, it cannot be full, and you should accept it as humble..." He murmured to himself: "However, I heard that if God does not give it, I will be punished by God..."
