"Taishi Ling ......"

This was Shusun Tong's new position, and he remembered the look in his eyes when the old Hu Wujing reluctantly handed over the key to the treasury and the seal ribbon to him at the request of Chang Lujia.

"I know what thou wilt desire." Hu Wujing said softly as he passed by him.

They all know what kind of person Shusun Tong is - a villainous and boneless Confucian who relies on kneeling and licking Wu Zhonghou to gain favor and specialize in some whitewashing work.

And the thin historians of the Taishi Office also stood silently aside during Shusun Tong's inspection, ignoring his friendly smile.

No one knows that more than 20 years ago, Shusun Tong, who had just started studying in Ludi, dreamed of being an iron-clad historian like his father......

This is a very revered group in Qi and Ludi, and it is generally passed down from generation to generation.

In the eyes of historians, history books are sacred and cannot be tampered with at will. When a historian hears or witnesses something that he thinks is important, he writes it down. The ancient Dan Book of Jixun, the chronicle of Qing history, so it is called Danqing, when the strokes are formed one by one on the Danqing, the fact of this matter is doomed, any easier, is a blasphemy of history.

It is under this concept that the historians of the Spring and Autumn Period, under the powerful monarchy, still hold their backbones and stick to the bottom line of their careers, and Dong Hu and Qi Taishi are the spiritual pillars of the historians.

Back then, Jin Linggong was instructed by Zhao Dun to kill Zhao Wear in Taolin, so Dong Hu, the historian of the Jin Kingdom, directly wrote down the words "Zhao Dun killed his monarch", Zhao Dun defended that it was Zhao Wear who killed the monarch and not me, Dong Hu retorted that you are Zhengqing, made a state of exile, ran to the border but stopped and waited for the change in the DPRK, the monarch was killed, and you did not crusade against the monarch killer first after you came back. Zhao Dun was speechless when he said this, so he could only let Dong Hu write this down.

As for the deeds of Qi Taishi, it was when the powerful minister Cui Zhu killed the monarch Qi Zhuanggong, Qi Taishi wrote straight: "Cui Zhu killed his king." Cui Shu was furious and killed Qi Taishi. Taishi's two younger brothers also truthfully recorded that they were all killed by Cui Zhu. Cui Shu told Qi Taishi's third brother: "Your three brothers are all dead, if you want to live, then the king of Shu Guo will fall ill violently, what is it?" Qi Taishi's younger brother responded with the fact that it was the duty of a historian to write directly. Dereliction of duty to survive, it is better to die, he still wrote down the facts, Cui Shu was also shocked by the hard bones of the historians, and had no choice but to turn a blind eye and let him go.

At the same time, when the Nanshi of Qi heard about this, he ran over with a bamboo slip, wanting to continue to write straight after the death of Qi Taishi's family!

Like a moth to a fire, it goes forward and backwards, just to record the facts.

Jin Dong fox pen, Qi Tai Shi Jian, these are the two major victories of the historian and the minister, and they are also the pride of their word of mouth.

"If only everything in the world were so simple, that would be great." Uncle Sun Tong sighed.

The first crack in this simple worldview was created when he studied the history book "Spring and Autumn" with his master, Kong Kun.

When Kong Kun talked about Confucius's principle of Spring and Autumn: "The pen is the pen, and the sharpening is sharpening, and the disciples of Zixia can't praise the word", the young uncle Sun Tong was a little stunned.

"What should be written must be written, and what should be deleted must be deleted?"

"Doesn't it say that the history pen is like a knife, the history pen is like a knife, Danqing has been done and cannot be changed?"

After reading through the entire Spring and Autumn period, he noticed more and more problems.

"The Son of Heaven was actually forced by Duke Wen of Jin to participate in the alliance, why did he write it as 'Hunting in Heyang'?"

When he boldly raised this question, he was given a sharp glance by the master.

"What do you know, son?"

"This is the Spring and Autumn Brushwork."

"It's a small word!"

Kong Ru's words were still vague, and when Shusun Tong talked to a disciple of the Ram family, his statement was much more straightforward.

"For the Venerable, for the relatives, for the sage!"

I see! Uncle Sun Tong suddenly realized.

Confucius still has a temperance, the only venerable person in his eyes, there is only one person, that is Zhou Tianzi, for some great princes, should be scolded, but when it comes to the Son of Heaven, Confucius always has a little twist in his pen.

There are more sages, such as Zhou Gong and Guan Zhong, who are all objects of Confucius' respect, so things that are unfavorable to the sages, such as the rumors that Zhou Gong once called the king, and the problem of Guan Zhong's character, are all brushed aside.

It is enough that his contribution to the world is greater than morality itself.

As for hiding for his relatives, Kong Ru has always been vague about the fact that two generations of the Kong family have given out their wives.

"At that time, the etiquette collapsed, the royal family declined, and the princes often invaded the king of Zhou. However, the Spring and Autumn Period is not false and beautiful, not hidden evil, and it is unique to consider the words to show praise and disapproval, and to see the ...... in obscurity"

This so-called one-word praise and disparagement is probably similar to the "insinuation" of later generations, it is the password of the stinky old nine, the tacit code, the ability to scold people without spitting out dirty words, and the ability to bully the illiterate nouveau riche.

But these praises and disapprovals are hidden in various places in the book, such as "Zheng Boke Duan Yu Yan", this gram has a deep meaning, and the master expanded on this word and told his uncle and grandson about it for three whole days......

"It's too difficult for ordinary people to see praise and disapproval." At that time, a disciple raised this question, and was glared at by the master again.

"History, is it for ordinary people?"

That's right.

Since then, Uncle Sun Tong has understood that history certainly does not exist for the masses of the people.

History, is in the service of His Holiness.

At that time, Ludi Confucian students had two employment routes, one was to continue teaching in Qilu and collect restraints. The second is to go south to the state of Chu to be the retainers of those ancient nobles, preside over the sacrificial rites for them, and compile the family history of each family......

As a private historian, if you want to hold a stable job, you have to learn to be smarter, no matter how many dirty things you see in those aristocratic homes, whether it is picking up ashes or raising a little uncle, you have to turn a blind eye and keep one thing in mind:

"There is no fault in the master!"

What should be written and what should not be written, I didn't have a little pressure in my heart, and I was unemployed early.

When the new head of the family ascends the throne, if he proposes to revise the family history, he must obediently obey his orders.

"And this so-called Qin Taishi Ling, to put it bluntly, isn't it also a history for the Ying family?"

It's not that Shusun Tong looks down on people, in terms of etiquette and music culture, Qin is far lower than the Six Kingdoms, and the same is true of historiography.

In Shusun Tong's view, the writing style of this "Qin Ji" is still stuck in the era of Confucius's "Spring and Autumn", or even worse, it does not indicate the sun and the moon, and the text is too brief to be readable at all.

Moreover, he was a doctor of Qin back then, and he knew that the Qin monarchs of the past dynasties did not have a tradition of respecting history. Historians have always remembered the joys and sorrows, and when they encounter a big victory, they are so happy that they write a special book, and when they encounter a fiasco, they will casually remember a few words, or even skip them directly, as if it had never happened.

And for the history books of the Six Kingdoms that said a lot of bad things about the Qin people, it was also one-size-fits-all, and the historians were all burned if they were not Qin Ji, and Heifu only dared to save the poems and books and Baijiayu, but he couldn't save these sensitive documents.

The history books of the twelve princes, only one copy is kept in the imperial history mansion. And unlike poetry and books, these history books of the Six Kingdoms, even if they are doctors, cannot be read casually, so Taishi Ling himself can turn them over.

At the moment, it's cheaper than Shusun Tong.

He was asking people to copy the old historian's house completely, and he would bring back a copy of the "Qin Ji" that he had brought out of the official office without permission to take a look, and his uncle and grandson smiled.

"What kind of history is like a knife, you old man said it well, but in fact, it's not the same for His Holiness!"

……

Most of the historians are old-fashioned, and there is a more convenient paper not to use, so they have to be copied on a bulky slip, and this volume is about the collapse of the first emperor, the succession of Hu Hai to the fall of the process:

In the thirty-seventh year, he went up to Hengshan County and fell ill, and died of evil words, and the ministers did not dare to say anything about death.

The illness was very good, and Prime Minister Li Si and others suddenly said: "This is a long way and the ministers of the edict period, I am afraid that the ministers are strategic, please set up the prince as the successor." ”

He said, "Yes." ”

Then he prepared and said: "Since ancient times, the emperor has succeeded the heavens and raised the royal area, and he will establish the Yuan Prince and Maolong Guoben, and the Mianzong Society will have no borders." I swept Liuhe, one day down, abolished feudalism, established counties and counties, governed customs, Kyushu Chengfeng, all obeyed the track, and An Dunmian, and then respected the law, Chang Zhi Wuji, and the boat did not tilt. However, he also worked hard all night, thinking of the mountains and rivers of Qin, and the 26th temple entrusted to him. ”

"Hu Hai, the eighteenth son of me, has been studying the law for several years, and he has never seen a loss. Benevolence and kindness, light wealth and heavy soldiers, arguments in the heart and mouth, through the law and respectful of scholars, the sons of Qin have not been like this, can be heirs. In the middle of the spring of the 37th year, Bingyin awarded Hu Hai a book of treasures, established as the crown prince, and raised the army on behalf of me, so as to emphasize the unity of eternity and the heart of the four seas. ”

In the middle of spring, at night, the emperor collapsed in the west mausoleum of Hengshan.

And the young son became the prince, supported the coffin and returned to the court, migrated to 10,000 households in Anlu County, and took the Shili Mountain Mausoleum.

At first, Heifu had a rebellious heart, heard that the first emperor was touring the south, feared, and cheated to death, and then heard that the emperor collapsed, anti-Yunmeng, attacked Wuchang, and the Jing soldiers were in chaos......

Meng Xia, the crown prince returned to the dynasty, became the second emperor, pardoned sinners, Li Si was the right prime minister, Feng Qujian was the left prime minister, and the Zhongche Fu Ling Gao thought Lang Zhong Ling.

The second emperor Su Renxiao issued an edict to increase the sacrifice of the first emperor's temple and the gift of the mountains and rivers. Let the ministers discuss the temple of the first emperor. The ministers all said at once: "The ancients have seven temples of the Son of Heaven, five princes, and three doctors, although they will not be destroyed for generations." Today, the first emperor is the extreme temple, and all the four seas are offering tribute, increasing sacrifices, and preparing for gifts, without addition. "Then respect the Temple of the First Emperor as the ancestral temple of the emperor.

The Jing people rebelled very much, and the Marquis of Wuxin did not choose to die in Jiangling.

In the same month, the second emperor granted amnesty to sinners, reduced taxes and said: "And start with the world." "Make the Taiwei Tongwu Marquis put down the rebellion of the soldiers......

Shusun Tong saw it quickly, and roughly skipped it in the middle, anyway, he basically criticized the rebellion in Kanto and Nanjun and praised Hu Hai's "wise and martial arts", compared to what this guy did, it was really spicy, but he had to cut every word, and finally saw the end.

"In the winter of the first year, the second emperor killed his brother Gongzi Gao, and the left prime minister went to illness, set up Zhao Gao, and made the affairs of the prime minister and the imperial history."

"Failed to end the year, and the rebels and Jing people entered the customs, Ziying killed Hu Hai, and the general Heifu entered the country and killed Gao ......"

After reading it, Uncle Sun Tong patted the case and said:

"Nonsense."

"If Hu Hai is really the orthodox successor, virtuous, benevolent and filial, how can he be overthrown by the new old Qin people?"

Just go out and ask the people of Xianyang, is Hu Hai wise and virtuous? He's sure to spit on you.

In the face of Shusun Tong's questioning, the old historian still insisted:

"History has literary quality, and words are detailed, so you don't have to change it!" ”

"What's more, we are among them, and we have added a word of praise and disapproval to what the second has done!"

Uncle Sun Tong smiled dumbly.

Not again.

Not again.

"It's not that history can't be changed."

"But the 'history' you wrote doesn't want to be changed?"

Do they insist on the truth of history, or the authority of the chronicler?

"Etiquette is broken, morality is ruined, and there is disorder. The man who usurped the thief shall be listed as a prince; A country of deceit is a country that rises to be strong. It is to turn into a phase, and the future will be a teacher. Especially Qin, who gave gifts and gave money to war, abandoned benevolence and righteousness and used deceit, and the first emperor also liked to win and hated admonitions. ”

"In such a country, how can there be a real Jin Dong fox pen, Qi Taishi Jian?"

"Unless, we can restore the Zhou government, respect morality, solemn etiquette, and change the wind of Chen Li's music and songs."

Since everyone is fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter, then now, as a disciple of Confucius, Shusun Tong plans to teach these Qin historians well, what is the meaning of micro-words, what is the Spring and Autumn penmanship!

In the past, Hu Hai was Venerable.

Now Marquis Wu Zhong is the Venerable!

For His Holiness.

Therefore, all the records of the past are null and void!

In a word.

"You can change it, but I can't change it?"

Of course, you can't say that on the surface.

Uncle Sun Tong straightened his face, and in front of all the historians, he refuted the records on the "Qin Ji" and defined them.

"In the words of Marquis Wu Zhong, this is a taboo of ignoring the facts, tampering with the truth, and committing historical nothingness!"

As for what historical nihilism is, Heifu didn't elaborate, and Shusun Tong didn't dare to ask.

"Bring a pen."

"Get a knife!"

Uncle Sun Tong held a knife and pen in his hand and smiled: "I will be a pen when I am a pen, and I will sharpen if I sharpen it!" ”
