Qi Xuanwang sent someone to blow straw, and three hundred people had to blow it together. Chu Shi from the south asked to play Qi Xuanwang's flute, and Qi Xuanwang was very happy. Whenever the band plays, he follows the example of others. The government gave him the same treatment as those hundreds of people. After Qi Xuanwang's death, his son King Qi succeeded to the throne.

Therefore, when you still have the conditions and time to improve yourself, seize the opportunity to make yourself stronger and stronger, and keep the elimination away from yourself.
