"Do you say, is such a famous man worthy of admiration?" Looking at the ministers in the hall, Zhang Lingyang asked.

Zhou An, the minister of the military cabinet, replied: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that although these famous generals in His Majesty's mouth have done some wrong things, the most important thing is that they belong to different forces.

From their standpoint, there is nothing wrong with that! ”

"I don't dare Zhou Junge's opinion!" Sun Qicheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said, "Although it is understandable for them to attack and plunder the land because they belong to different forces, I am not used to killing those captives who surrender wantonly, and slaughtering cities at every turn against unarmed people!" ”

Although Sun Qicheng is the son of Ning Guofu, Ning Guofu did start by military merits, but Ning Guofu, the duke's mansion, completely relied on expanding the territory for the Great Zhou Dynasty to have today's status.

As for the matter of the princes seizing the throne, Ning Guofu would not do it at all, and he didn't bother to do it at all.

The family style is like this!

Zhou An is different, Zhou An himself relied on the dragon skills of the first emperor to seize the heir, and he got to his current position, and the ass is just a matter of deciding the head!

In line with Zhou An's opinion, there are still many military generals and civil servants in the court, among them, or have participated in the battle for succession, most of them are the descendants of those with vested interests, so they naturally want to speak for their ancestors.

Although, even if Wenchen is not accustomed to looking at military generals, he will slaughter cities and kill soldiers at every turn. But what the first emperor did, how dare they say anything wrong, it is naturally very correct!

In the entire court, only Sun Qicheng was opposed.

Of course, there are two ministers who have not spoken, that is, Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household department.

Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household department, came out and said: "The old man supports His Majesty's point of view, what we should admire is the people who opened up the territory for the Great Zhou, not those famous generals who are experts in the civil war." ”

After bowing to Zhang Lingyang, Zhu Kaishan looked back at the ministers and generals and said: "The old man remembers that when the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, I only lived in the Yellow River Valley.

Then the old man would like to ask your colleagues, who led the people of Yan and Huang to expand their territory along the Yangtze River?

Who expanded the territory to Youzhou and Hebei?

Who conquered Liaodong?

Who pioneered the Western Regions?

Who leveled Wu Yue?

And who conquered Huguang?

And who pacified Sichuan and Shu?

And who conquered Lingnan?

Who is it that hit Mobei?

And who is it that completely subjugated the five Central Asian countries?

My Great Zhou, a land of hundreds of millions of miles, was attacked by these people from generation to generation, little by little, but who remembered their names?

You can tell the old man out loud, how many of these people do you know? How many people do you know?

If it is a meritorious service, these people above are the real heroes of my Yanhuang.

It's just a pity!

Unfortunately, we don't know the names of the vast majority of them!

Throughout the history books, there are only a handful of stories about the lives of these people, why is that? ”

"Why?" At this time, Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, came out and said: "The old man knows the reason! ”

"Oh?" Zhu Kaishan looked at Zheng Yongji in surprise.

Zheng Yongji smiled slightly and said: "Because for the imperial court at that time, it was just a trivial matter, far less important than the intrigue of the court!" ”

On the dragon chair, Zhang Lingyang silently watched the performances of Zhu Kaishan and Zheng Yongji.

It wasn't until the two finished speaking that Zhang Lingyang stood up and said excitedly: "What the two Aiqing said is deeply in line with my intentions, countless martyrs have thrown their heads and spilled their blood for Yan Huang, how can he be a scholar of Hanlin Academy?" ”

"The old minister is here!" He An came out of the ranks.

"Spread my will, in a few days, the history will be rebuilt by the Hanlin Academy, and the heroic deeds of the martyrs will be brilliant, especially those who will open up the territory and defend the country for the descendants of Yan and Huang, and we must vigorously praise them!"

"The old minister obeys!" He An burst into tears on the spot.

God knows, for more than ten years, this is the first time that the Son of Heaven has begun to attach importance to and reuse the Hanlin Academy, and He An, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, is beyond words.

Before Zhang Lingyang succeeded to the throne, the Hanlin Academy was the most noble place in the world, and the officials in the Hanlin Academy were all from the top ranks of the imperial examination.

It was even rumored that non-Hanlin could not enter the cabinet.

In other words, if you want to become a cabinet minister, you must have worked as an official in the Hanlin Academy for a period of time.

But this tradition has been completely abolished since Zhang Lingyang took the throne.

Not only did he abolish this tradition, but Zhang Lingyang even ordered the officials of the Hanlin Academy to go deep into the border areas such as Warat to teach the children there Confucianism.

Over the years, the Hanlin Academy can be said to be the most deserted yamen in the imperial court.

It's good now!

The Son of Heaven once again reused the Hanlin Academy, which may also indicate that the Son of Heaven had the idea of reusing the Hanlin Academy, so He An was full of morale in his heart and wanted to completely change Zhang Lingyang's opinion of the Hanlin Academy.

And this time, Zhang Lingyang ordered the Hanlin Academy to rebuild its history, which is a good opportunity.

"Go to Hallymin Temple right away!" Out of the palace gate, He An hurried back to the Hanlin Academy, eager to tell the good news to the Hanlin Academy.

"Everyone!"

Rushing back to the Hanlin Courtyard, looking at the officials with three or two big cats and small cats, He An's mood was very excited.

Since the beginning of the second year of Tai'an, the Hanlin Yuan has gradually withered, and now the entire Hanlin Yuan, together with the officials guarding the gate of the yamen, is less than fifty people in total.

Taking a deep breath, He An said, "Your Majesty has invented a decree to instruct our Hanlin Academy to revise the history books.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Hanlin Academy.

If we can't seize this opportunity again, I'm afraid that in another three or five years, our Hanlin Academy, the yamen, will completely become a piece of history. ”

"What Master He said is true?" Below, a gray-haired old man asked.

"This is what His Majesty said in the court, so is it false?" He An said conclusively.

"But just a few of us old guys, can we finish a history book?" The old man asked worriedly.

The old man's concern is not unreasonable.

Since Zhang Lingyang came to power, the young and powerful officials of the Hanlin Academy have been assigned to the local or frontier.

In today's Hanlin Academy, in addition to the officials, the most lightened official will be fifty years old.

He An didn't care, and said: "Tomorrow, the old man will enter the palace and ask His Majesty for an order, and transfer those who were sent out to come back."

The most important thing for us now is to make up an outline first, and when those younger generations return, let them complete the trivial things! ”

"What Master He said is reasonable!" An official spoke up in support, "Our primary figure now is to re-revise the history books of all dynasties and then re-compile the outline."

I believe that Your Majesty will be impressed by our Hanlin Academy after reading the outline we have fabricated. ”

After listening to the official's words, everyone looked at He An above.

I saw He An said in high spirits: "Yes, although there are three big cats and two kittens in our Hanlin Academy, we also have to make some achievements, so that Your Majesty will be impressed by our Hanlin Academy."

Many of us are old and dizzy, and we don't have enough energy.

According to the old man, there are some things that may as well be left to those younger officials. ”

"These officials are all hairless people, can they do it?" An old man asked.

"The shortest time they have been in our Hanlin Academy, I'm afraid it's only three years.

It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.

The old man believes that after so many years of reading and watching by our ears, they will definitely successfully complete the tasks we have assigned. ”

"From the old man's point of view, we might as well seconded some students from the Royal Academy's School of History to help!" There are old people who oppose and put forward their own opinions.

"I'm afraid it's not right!" He An objected, "Your Majesty has always valued the students who graduated from the Royal Academy, once Your Majesty hears about it, the history books we made up were completed with the assistance of the students of the History Academy of the Royal Academy, I am afraid that Your Majesty will take all the merits of compiling history on the heads of those students!" ”

"How's that to be?"

"Didn't the old man say, as long as we work together and make some achievements, Your Majesty will definitely look down on us.

Besides, the old man will enter the palace tomorrow to ask for a decree, and the officials of the Hanlin Academy who were sent out will return to help us revise history together.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and when we revise history, we must not take it lightly, so as not to be disgusted by Your Majesty. ”

"Scholar He, don't worry, we are not seven or eight-year-old children, how can we be so careless?"
