Chapter 965 - Let's leave it for posterity to comment
"Okay, I'll kill you."
Li Shimin was very angry, and now he really wanted to kill Sima Zong.
It's just a historian, can't he really be killed?
After killing Sima Zong, he didn't believe that he couldn't find an obedient one.
History books are written by the victors, and he, Li Shimin, is the victors, and he has to think about how he wants the history books to be written.
He, Li Shimin, is inflated.
After an angry shout, someone immediately stepped forward to arrest Sima Zong.
At this time, Sima Zong's expression was very firm, and he did not have the slightest intention of asking for mercy.
Seeing this, Qin Tian admired Sima Zong more and more.
In the millennium of China, there are many emperors who want to tamper with history, but many things have been handed down.
If they hadn't risked their lives to record these things, how could so much history be known to future generations.
And without so much history, how can thousands of years of Chinese civilization and ideas be transmitted?
Seeing this, Qin Tian resolutely stood up and said, "Holy Lord, slow down." ”
Li Shimin glanced at Qin Tian and said, "Does Qin Aiqing have anything to say?" ”
Qin Tian was a little embarrassed in his heart, but he still said: "Shengshang, it is easy to kill a Sima Zong, but it is difficult to kill the belief in the hearts of historians, it is their duty to record history, if they kill them because of this, these historians will inevitably be too aggrieved, and if this matter is recorded, it will not be good for the reputation of the saint." ”
Hearing Qin Tian's words, Li Shimin's face turned slightly.
There are many monarchs in history who want to kill historians, and there are many who have passed them down.
And every time I read these stories, it makes people feel ridiculous and disdain those emperors, Li Shimin used to be like this, but he didn't expect that he would unknowingly become such a person.
Fortunately, Qin Tian stood up, otherwise if his story spread, he would be laughed at by others, right?
Historians are not easy to kill, kill one, and there will be the next historian.
Although there will definitely be an obedient one in the end, but at that time, I'm afraid that the whole thing has been far from his original intention, right?
Originally, I wanted to make my reputation better, but because I killed the historian and it didn't turn out well, it would be worth the loss.
However, although Li Shimin suddenly reacted, he didn't stop because of this, he glanced at Qin Tian and said, "Qin Aiqing wants me to spare him?" ”
Qin Tiandao: "Please also ask the Holy Lord to be merciful and spare Sima Zong's life." ”
Li Shimin said: "It depends on your ability." ”
The meaning of these words is already very clear, if Qin Tian can persuade Sima Zong to tamper with history, then he can naturally spare Sima Zong, but if Qin Tian is not convinced, then it is difficult to say.
Qin Tian cried and laughed, Li Shimin was clearly looking for a problem for him.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Tian didn't say anything to Sima Zong, he just looked at Li Shimin and said, "Holy Lord, Sima Zong is not even afraid of death, how can the minister convince him?" As a historian, this is his insistence, and the minister says that he is not convinced. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Tian's words changed sharply, and he said: "Shengshang, the so-called good or bad reputation is not in one thing, we are in the world, who has not done a few things with a bad reputation, the minister has also done it, and the eldest grandson must have done it, we are not saints, we are not perfect people, what if we have done it?" As long as they have done other good things, we have rescued many people, so that they can avoid being frozen to death, starved to death, we have defeated powerful enemies, we have let all countries come to court, we have done a lot of great things, then, good or bad, why should we care, everything is as you like, merit and demerits, and leave for future generations to comment, I believe, if the saint is unmatched in martial arts, to be an emperor through the ages, what is the difficulty? ”
After saying this, the entire imperial study suddenly fell silent, and Li Shimin seemed to be in deep thought, he was wondering if what Qin Tian said made sense.
Yes, everyone has flaws, everyone's life cannot be perfect, what about some things that are not visible?
As long as you've done something else meritorious.
Just like Emperor Yang of Sui, he is indeed a little too brutal and extravagant, but the Grand Canal he made has benefited future generations, and many people are still grateful to him.
The little thing he Li Shimin did in Xuanwumen was really not good, but it was really not too much of a fault, right?
Isn't the struggle for imperial power always accompanied by bloodshed?
He Li Shimin, if the martial arts are really unmatched, there is no one before and no one after him, then he is the first emperor of the ages.
If the people live and work in peace and contentment, who cares about the changes in his Xuanwu Gate?
Qin Tian's words suddenly woke up Li Shimin.
"Okay, what a sentence of merit and posterity to comment on, Qin Aiqing's words are enlightened, good, good!"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Qin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know how he was doing today, he didn't know what he said just now, now that Li Shimin listened to it, everything would be fine.
And Sima Zong here, his expression finally eased up, although he is not afraid of death, but it is naturally a good thing to be able to live.
"What the Holy Lord said is that the ministers are willing to follow the Holy Lord and create a prosperous world of Zhenguan, so that the Holy Lord is naturally the first emperor of the ages." The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly followed and said, he knew that Li Shimin had given up tampering with history, but at the same time, he also wanted to give birth to hope in Li Shimin's heart, and give birth to a hope to create the rule of Zhenguan.
After the eldest grandson Wuji finished saying this, Li Shimin's expression was really much better.
Zhenguan is in the prosperous world, and it makes people feel excited to think about it.
And at this time, Sima Zong, who had not spoken, said: "Shengshang, the minister wants to record today's incident, I don't know if the Shengshang can let it?" ”
Hearing Sima Zong speak, Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said, "If I say no, will you listen?" ”
"This ......"
"So be it."
Li Shimin is relieved now, but he is not afraid that others will know this, and although today's events are a little unpleasant, but when written in the history books, I am afraid that he will also make people think that he Li Shimin is virtuous and can accept it, right?
If a monarch can accept it, then passing it on will make people have a lot of good feelings towards him.
After Li Shimin finished saying this, Sima Zong suddenly smiled a little embarrassedly: "Thank you to the saint, the minister believes that the saint will definitely be able to create a chaste and prosperous world, and the minister will use his own pen to record all the merits of the saint, pass it on to future generations, and let future generations admire and worship ......"
Sima Zong muttered, and Qin Tian and the others were stunned for a moment when they heard his words.
This Sima Zong is really no worse than them.
