One Thousand and Twenty-Four Collect the corpses of the Eastern Han Empire
Although there is some truth in the so-called sitting and sitting, in the eyes of more people, the meaning of the emperor is the most important.
You are an official under the emperor, and you have to go against the emperor.
To put it mildly, do you think that today's son is so easy to fool as the former Han Tianzi?
Obviously, not every official from the noble clan is so interested in the so-called difference between sitting and sitting in the hu.
The nobles are not monolithic, not without rebels.
Just like the officials from Li Shu, there are also corrupt people.
There is a personal presence of the betrayal class, that's for sure.
Besides, this kind of thing is just to satisfy the appetite and make it fresh, and if you really want to rise to the Huayi debate, it will be too redundant.
Zhuge Liang is one of the officials of the scholar clan who often go to the wine shop to drink and eat.
He found it interesting and innovative, pleasant and comfortable to eat, and the price was not expensive, which even a shy official like him could afford.
The invitees included Xu Shu, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, and Sima Yi.
A small banquet for a total of five people is not open to the public, and the five people simply eat a meal and drink a meal of wine that all five people like, which can be regarded as a farewell to Zhuge Liang.
"Kong Ming, why did you choose to go out? I still don't get it. ”
Xu Shu toasted Zhuge Liang with a glass of wine, took a sip, and looked at Zhuge Liang with a puzzled face: "When you leave Luoyang, you won't go to Chang'an, but you have to go to Dunhuang...... In such a distant place, there is really no wine shop, there is nothing to have fun in, and there is no verdant eyes, have you really thought about it? ”
Zhuge Liang smiled.
"Your Majesty's decree has been issued, I already have to go, Yuan Zhi, why do you need to say more?"
Shi Tao also toasted Zhuge Liang with a glass of wine.
"Kong Ming, you are smarter than us, you can always think of things that we can't think of, can you tell the truth, why did you leave?"
"Truth? Guangyuan, did I tell a lie? ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "I have already said the reason, at this time when I am about to be reused, I want to accumulate more practical experience."
I want to know what I should do in Luoyang City in the future to benefit the Wei State, this kind of thing has been staying in Luoyang City and I can't figure it out, I want to go out and have a look. ”
"But Dunhuang...... It's too far, can't it be done in Guanzhong? ”
Meng Jian also toasted Zhuge Liang with a glass of wine.
"Guanzhong has almost been governed, I want to go to a more barren place, build a place from scratch, from scratch, from poverty to wealth, so that it can be regarded as a real political achievement, and I can convince myself to return to Luoyang."
Zhuge Liang returned the salute.
In the end, Sima Yi was left.
"Kong Ming, I don't respect you."
Sima Yi held the wine glass in one hand and said with a smile: "Just now, I also handed over the application for the release of the recital, I think, it won't be long before I will go to the border of Liangzhou to find you." ”
Xu Shu, Meng Jian, and Shi Tao looked at Sima Yi in surprise.
Zhuge Liang was only slightly stunned, and when he looked at Sima Yi's expression, he showed a sincere smile.
"Zhongda, I thought you were just joking."
"At first, I thought you were joking, but after thinking about it, I think you're right."
Sima Yi drank the wine in the cup in one gulp: "If I can't know what everything I did in Luoyang City is for, perhaps, there is no point in me continuing to stay in Luoyang City." ”
"Really going?"
"Really going."
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi glanced at each other, and then smiled, the scene was full of inexplicable atmosphere.
This made Xu Shu and the other three even more confused.
One or two are in a hurry to leave such a promising place as the cabinet, and go to a bitter cold place like Liangzhou to endure the wind and sun and the harsh environment, what is the picture?
Is it just that kind of inexplicable reason?
No matter how much they think, they can't understand the reasons for these two people, and they always feel that it is stupid to do so.
People cannot understand each other, and happiness between people is not the same.
The so-called I see you like a fool, and you should see me like this.
In this era when everyone treats each other as stupid, it is already rare to be able to respect each other's ideas on the lips and scold people without opening their mouths and closing their mouths.
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi tried to understand each other, and recognized each other, and did not treat each other as fools, which can already be described as a model of confidants.
The day after this banquet, Sima Yi was called by Guo Peng to go to the study of the Qinzheng Palace, and then came out to pack his luggage.
In the afternoon of the same day, Sima Yi received an order that he was transferred to Guangzhi County, Dunhuang County, Liangzhou as the county magistrate, and ordered him to be ready within five days and leave for his post.
The two had a time difference, so Zhuge Liang set off first, and then waited for Sima Yi who came after him in the post station in the west of Luoyang City.
After that, the two walked hand in hand, tasting the most beautiful scenery in the world along the way, watching the pedestrians coming and going, and embarked on a journey to the border of the empire together.
It must be a long and great journey.
At the same time, Guo gave a new task to his courtiers in Luoyang City.
Revision of history.
Revision of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty.
This is actually not what Guo himself thought of, Guo has too many things to do, and he didn't think of repairing history books.
It's just that Cai Yong has nothing to do, and one day he gave it to Guo Peng, hoping that Guo Peng could open the place for him to collect historical materials in the palace, and he wanted to use the rest of his life to repair a history book about the Eastern Han Empire.
He wanted to collect the corpses of the Eastern Han Empire, and he fulfilled his last thought, to make a biography of those who he knew or did not know, and to record what happened to them.
So Guo thought of repairing history.
In fact, he is not to blame, to be precise, during this period, until hundreds of years later, the importance and political significance of historical books were not taken seriously.
And until the Sui and Tang dynasties, the revision of history books was not a matter of official organizations, it was all a private act, and the officials of all dynasties did not think of sending a group of people to revise the history of the previous dynasties.
Including the "Historical Records", the original name was "Taishi Gongshu", which was Sima Qian's private history book.
The earlier Confucius revised the history book of the Lu State "Spring and Autumn", the "Warring States Policy" and the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" and so on are all private history books of the same nature.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Bangu brothers and sisters joined forces to revise the Book of Han.
During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were private history books such as "Wei Luo", "Three Kingdoms", "Heroes", "Book of Wei" and "Book of Wu" written by bureaucrats and scholars of various countries.
In the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, including the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Huayang Guozhi, etc., it was also a private history book.
At that time, the government was not officially aware of this.
Nor do they think that the history books have the political significance that can be used to close the coffin of the previous dynasty and declare the legitimacy of its own regime, as it was generally recognized after the Sui and Tang dynasties.
The first person who banned private history books was Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, but the Sui Dynasty was short and failed to implement it.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was not explicitly prohibited, but a national history museum was set up to specialize in repairing history books.
Since then, most of the so-called canonical histories that have been recognized have been officially ordered to be revised, in order to seal the coffin of the previous dynasty and promote the legitimacy of its own regime.
This kind of history book is called the official history, of course, except for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is no real strict prohibition on private history, but it is all called wild history.
As a result, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no choice but to popularize the study of evidence for playing side balls.
At present, the revision of history is just an act carried out by a group of social elites for a certain purpose or ambition, and has little to do with the government.
For Cai Yong, it is one thing to want to collect the corpse of the Eastern Han Empire, it is another thing to be bored by himself, and it is another thing to think about being on a par with Sima Qian and the Ban Gu brothers and sisters.
He also wanted to leave something important for future generations.
