Chapter 82 Section 11 Revisiting Han Fei

After Han Fei's death, how many people read his works, were convinced, their muscles were weak, and they wanted to see him as a human being, but they wished they could become his lackeys.However, when Han Fei was still alive, in his last years, he could only taste loneliness and loneliness in Yunyang Prison.No full house, no crowd of visitors.Accompanying him are only the cold prison guards and even colder instruments of torture, as well as the howling or low-pitched sobbing of fellow prisoners in the middle of the night. Looking at the entire Qin country, perhaps only Li Si was still thinking about Han Fei.This was Li Si's second visit to the prison. Unlike the first time, his steps were extraordinarily slow this time, as if walking on a football field, every yard forward seemed so difficult.

Han Fei was still weak. After seeing Li Si, he could only express his gratitude for his visit with his eyes.Sitting opposite Han Fei, Li Si didn't know how to speak for a while.It was Han Fei who asked first, "Has the book been presented to the king?" Li Si replied, "Yes, it is submitted." Han Fei rubbed his hands together and sighed, "My son misunderstood me, my son misunderstood me." When Li Si heard this, he couldn't help feeling puzzled.You asked me to pass the book on your behalf, shouldn't I pass it on?You know, apart from me, who else in Qin State can help you present the letter to Ying Zheng?How did I miss you?Li Si then asked, "Why did Brother Han say that?"

Han Fei said, "The book I published the day before yesterday was not very satisfactory. I regretted it as soon as you left, and wanted to take it back and rewrite it, but you have gone away with the book, and I can't catch up." Li Si said politely, "Brother Han's book is also a masterpiece." Han Fei sighed, "Why do you want to praise beauty? The article should be based on qi, and sincerity, as if flowing from the liver and lungs, so that you can compare yourself with others and move people's hearts. However, the day before yesterday I wrote When I was writing, I was not sincere, and my heart was not right. How can my book be so touching! With your talent, you must also see that my book is not good, so you should keep it for me, and don’t rush to present it to the King of Qin.”

Li Si said, "Li Si dare not make a decision for Brother Han. Therefore, I will present it to the king as it is." Han Fei said, "You are Li Si, the Li Si who wrote "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guest". I have read "Book of Admonishment and Chasing Guest". , must be clear in the chest. Knowing but not speaking, it is not what I hope for you." Li Si was silent and could not argue.Han Fei changed the subject and asked again, "What did your Majesty say when he saw my book?" Li Si said, "Your Majesty refuses to see Brother Han again."

Han Fei closed his eyes and sighed, "Even I can't convince myself of such an article. The king's refusal to see me is justified. I will write another book and pass it on for me." Li Si had no intention of being a postman again, and said, "Your Majesty is not happy. If you write a letter suddenly, it will not help the matter, but will cause harm. Let me help Brother Han." After finishing speaking, Li Si hesitated for a while, and then whispered Said, "However, brother Han had better be mentally prepared, the king's will may not be easily changed." Han Fei laughed and said, "Your Majesty did not hesitate to launch a war to get me into Qin, so how could you easily ignore me. Your Majesty just believed in Yao Jia Xiaoer for a while. Your Majesty voted me into prison, but he did not put me to death. It can be seen that I still use my heart. The talents of the world are only you and my ears. If you want to unite the world, who else can I give you?"

The more optimistic Han Fei was about the future, the more Li Si felt sad for him.It seemed that Han Fei still had illusions about Ying Zheng.But Li Si knew that Ying Zheng would no longer be able to tolerate Han Fei no matter whether Yao Jia was involved or not.Han Fei, you do have talents, but you may not be able to use them all.Moreover, once the talent is too high, it will become an overly expensive luxury and become priceless.Han Fei, your life is at stake, don't you realize it at all?In your writings, you analyze human nature and world conditions so sharply and thoroughly, but when it's your turn, why can't you understand it?

However, it was inconvenient for Li Si to reveal this layer immediately, so it was better to let Han Fei keep some hope.With hope, life in prison may not be so difficult.The two were relatively speechless for a while. Li Si wanted to comfort Han Fei, but he couldn't think of a suitable word. He could only look around the cell and asked randomly, "How is it here?" Han Fei smiled wryly, "It's fine here, but the prison guards invaded too quickly, and it's quite humiliating." Li Sidao, "Brother Han will be wronged for a while longer. When I see the king, I will seek a certain opinion for Brother Han." After saying goodbye, he got up and said, "I will come to see you again."

Han Fei smiled, "I know you will." Li Si bid farewell to Han Fei, and the jailer followed him all the way, respectfully asking for instructions, "Master Tingwei, since the king has not pardoned Han Fei, he should continue to torture Han Fei and force him to confess his guilt. Otherwise, the officials and others will not be able to explain. Please show me, Lord Ting Wei." Li Si looked back at Han Fei, who was also looking at him.Han Fei in the cell was so thin and helpless.Li Si couldn't bear to look any further, strode away, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said to the jailer, "Continue to torture—remember, no matter what, don't hurt his life."
