0190: The biggest trouble

"Thank you two Ming Gong, righteousness is really grateful!" After leaving Situ Mansion, Li Yi thanked Deng Sheng and Zhang Wen.

"Hehe, Zikang is polite." Deng Sheng and Zhang Wen replied with a chuckle, and then the three of them exchanged politeness, and Li Yi sent the two back to their respective mansions.

"Tsk, it seems that I don't seem to be so jealous of these scholars, aren't they all very easy to talk to~" Li Yi thought secretly in his heart, but this thought didn't last long in his mind, and he directly left it behind.

How so? If Li Yi was really so naïve, then he would not have thought about it so much before, and he would not even want to stay in the place, but directly chose to enter the court. Although Li Yi doesn't know how Liu Hong will reward himself this time, how to say it? In the Han Dynasty, the reward for military exploits was actually very easy to guess.

The official rank of 2,000 stones, especially the position of General Wei, is the most likely in Li Yi's opinion. Because during this period, the general position was actually not long, and in fact, except for the general who has become the exclusive position of his relatives over the years, only General Du Liao is permanent in other general positions. With so many vacant generals, it obviously doesn't take too much difficulty to take out one and give it to Li Yi at random.

However, even if Li Yi really stayed in Beijing as a general, at most he would only be a famous general, and he would not be able to gain any real power at all. The reason why this is so is related to the power system of the Han Dynasty.

In short, ever since Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu created the Eastern Han regime, he has been trying to concentrate power on the king. As a result, Liu Xiu handed over the right to deal with Shangshu to Shangshu to restrain the three dukes. It's just that now, this system has gradually lost its effect, because most of the time, it is the three dukes or generals who record the Shangshu.

The so-called record is similar to Lingshangshu, but the rights are heavier, and the most famous one is probably the later Shu Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. A record of Shang Shushi directly concentrated all the power of the imperial court on his own body.

Although neither the three dukes nor the generals have been appointed by Liu Hong as a scholar of the book, but have firmly grasped the power in their own hands, even so, it does not mean that Li Yi will be able to get the right to speak and real power after entering the court, and even Li Yi does not feel that he can get the military power.

And without real power, how can Li Yi stand firm in Luoyang? The goodwill of the Three Princes? Yes, now that the Third Duke has indeed exuded kindness to Li Yi, in Li Yi's opinion, it is just because Li Yi is a celebrity next to Spirit Emperor Liu Hong at this time, and there is no conflict of interest between him and them! In this way, they will naturally not be stingy with their kindness, after all, Li Yi is hostile to the generals and eunuchs, wouldn't it be too stupid if they took the opportunity to win them over?

Of course, if Li Yi only wanted to be Sangong's follower, then the goodwill exuded by Sangong at this time was undoubtedly the best opportunity for him to enter the court, but unfortunately Li Yi didn't have that interest at all.

And if Li Yi reveals that he wants to control the real power, will the third prince still be able to maintain his current goodwill? Think about it and know it's impossible.

Returning to Huangfu Song's mansion, he was already waiting for Li Yi in the mansion at this time.

"Gongwei has agreed." Huangfu Song said in a deep voice.

"It's hard work, righteousness is really fair," Li Yi said respectfully when he heard this.

"Alas, no way, who made you a disciple of your uncle? But in the past, my uncle clearly said that you are a very worry-free child, how can you ...... when you grow up" Huangfu Song looked at Li Yi helplessly and sighed, "You know how to make trouble!" ”

Hearing this, Li Yi smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer at all. However, apparently Huangfu Song only complained casually, and quickly shifted the topic to business.

"Except for the eunuchs and ...... In addition, Zikang, you'd better think about how to deal with the historian's questioning first. Huangfu Song said with a serious expression.

Historians, the people who wrote the history books, led by Tai Shi Ling, each of them was a person of erudition and talent. Anything that wants to change the history books has to be done through them. It can be said that in some respects, they are the biggest difficulty in Li Ling's rehabilitation.

Because since ancient times, I don't know if it's because only people with a stinky and hard temper can serve as historians, or if those who are serving as historians will have a stinky and hard temper. In short, it is never easy to ask these historians to rewrite history.

Perhaps it is a highly respected thing for Sima Qian to be executed by Emperor Wu and still write history books upright, but this kind of thing actually exists in almost all dynasties. The most famous is probably the matter of "Cui Shu killing his king".

In the Spring and Autumn Period, after the conflict between Cui Shu, the minister of Qi State, and the Duke of Qi Zhuang had a conflict over the beauty, they took the opportunity to kill the Duke of Qi Zhuang, and later established the Duke of Qi Jing, and he became the minister of state. So the historian of Qi recorded this incident, "Cui Shu killed his king." ”

And in this regard, Cui Shu naturally didn't do it, after all, this kind of notoriety of killing kings will be left behind for thousands of years. But after he killed this historian, the successor historian still wrote, "Cui Shu killed his king." "Not a word, not a word. The third is still the same, and the fourth is still the same, four historians in a row still write the five words "Cui Shu killed his king" in the history books.

In the end, Cui Shu gave up, and just when he gave up, the fifth historian had already written the simple policy of "Cui Shu killed his king" and walked towards the court. Originally, it was to wait for the fourth historian to be killed, so he directly handed over this Jian Ce.

This is the integrity that historians have since ancient times, which makes the world and later generations respect, but also makes the ruler helpless. Moreover, when the dynasties wrote the history books, there was a very important rule, that is, the emperor could not read the records of himself in the history books.

It's like Sima Qian wrote historical records in the past, although he was later corrupted by Emperor Wu Liu Che because Sima Qian was the only person who interceded for Li Ling in the Li Ling incident, but even so, Emperor Wu Liu Che still didn't go to see the historical records, which is not a respect for Sima Qian, but a respect for historians and history books.

Later, Tang Taizong Li Shimin was also very curious about the history books being written, and he always couldn't help but want to see what was written in them. However, because of the persuasion of the historian at that time, Zhu Suiliang, Li Shimin's idea was finally dispelled.

It's just a pity that this kind of temperament did not exist in those Hulu dynasties, especially in the rat-tail dynasty, the so-called historian temperament has become a joke.

Ahem...... Far from it.

"Please rest assured, Yi Zhengong has already thought of a way." Li Yigong replied.

Well? What's the solution? Well, in fact, where can Li Yi do anything? It's just that there is no explanation for why Li Ling surrendered to the Xiongnu, and after surrendering to the Xiongnu, there is almost no record of Li Ling's deeds.
