Chapter 48: The Red Sun Comes and Falls (65)
Zeng Xiaokuan looked at Han Gang and was speechless for a while.
Zeng Xiaokuan's reaction made Han Gang suspicious, "Ling Xuan, what's wrong?" β
Zeng Xiaokuan shook his head and sighed, "No wonder Zihou didn't say it, but pushed it to me." β
Han Gang's heart sank: "Why? β
Zeng Xiaokuan looked at Han Gang's expression carefully again, confirming that he really didn't know, Fang said, "Does Yukun know the Bamboo Book?" β
Han Gang thought about it for a while, and found a similar title from his memory, ""The Book of Bamboo from the Tomb"? β
"Ji Tsuka Bamboo Book" is also known as "Bamboo Book Chronicle", referred to as "Bamboo Book".
Zeng Xiaokuan nodded slowly, "It's this "Bamboo Book Chronicle". β
Han Gang was surprised: "Didn't you say that it had already dispersed?" β
The "Bamboo Book Chronicle" records the history of three generations, from the Yellow Emperor to the King of Wei Anjiao for nearly 2,000 years. When the Western Jin Dynasty first appeared in the tomb, it had already caused a sensation, and the imperial court sent famous Confucians to sort it out.
But since the Western Jin Dynasty, for 800 years, the words sorted out in those years have completely disappeared. Han Gang has been reading books and history over the years, of course, he has heard of the title of "Bamboo Book Chronicle", and he has also seen some forged versions, but he has never had the opportunity to see the real one.
"It's really scattered." Zeng Xiaokuan nodded, "But now it has appeared again." β
Han Gang was puzzled: "It has also appeared before, but it is all a fake." β
"yes." Zeng Xiaokuan said, "The "Bamboo Book" that was handed down in the world before was all examined as a forgery, so the "General Item" did not contain it. β
In the first year of Jingyou, Renzong was in charge at the beginning, in order to strengthen his prestige and reflect his merits in cultural governance, so he imitated Taizong and Zhenzong, convened Wenchen, and compiled a large bibliography for the collection of books in the Chongwen Museum, called "Chongwen General Catalogue", which was compiled into a total of 3,000 documents and more than 30,000 volumes.
In this "Chongwen General Catalogue", there is no "Bamboo Book Chronicle". However, the "Chongwen General Catalogue" appeared too early, and did not involve the books that are popular in the world today, and also included the scriptures of Buddhism and Taoism, which is now more and more criticized by Confucian scholars, especially now that the ruler who controls the imperial court is not interested in Buddhism and Taoism, and seeing that there are more and more new works surging because of the new commentary on Confucian classics, he has always had the intention to recompile a bibliography.
Han Gang understood, and sneered: "So now there is a new one? β
Borrowing from the past is not the present, this is a common thing, forging an ancient book, making up an allusion, to prove their point of view, the former was identified by the people of the time as Wang Su's forgery of the "Confucius Family Language", and then there is Su Shi in the Ministry of Rites when the emperor Yao allusions. The recompilation of the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" came to ruin the imperial court, and Han Gang did not find it strange.
Zeng Xiaokuan said: "It has only come out in the past month, and it has just spread in Jiangnan. I have already seen it, and I can say that it is well-founded, and I can be sure that it is not a fake. β
"Why are you so sure?" Han Gang asked in a deep voice.
The re-emergence of any ancient book after it has been dispersed will inevitably bring controversy over whether it is a forgery or not, and it should never be as absolute as Zeng Xiaokuan.
Zeng Xiaokuan said slowly: "The "Bamboo Book Chronicle" has long been scattered, and only a few words can be said in a dry document. β
Han Gang immediately interrupted Zeng Xiaokuan's words and asked, "Did someone sort out the words in these documents?" β
"Yes, indeed." Zeng Xiaokuan nodded.
Han Gang asked, "Who?" β
"Lu Shengqing."
Han Gang's face changed suddenly.
It had been a long time since he had heard the names of the Lu family brothers.
Since the Son of Heaven was imprisoned and the Queen Mother retreated to the palace, the two governments completely controlled the imperial court.
Although Lu Huiqing's reputation in the new party is high, as long as the two governments do not want him to come up, he will never have a chance to come out.
Therefore, Lu Huiqing could only fall silent, and the people of the New Party who were originally clinging to him dispersed after seeing no future.
Although Lu Shengqing's reputation is not as good as that of his brother, he actually has a deep foundation in learning, and he has a large part of his credit in the newly learned Three Classics and New Meanings.
Even Zhang Dian and Han Gang would not think that Lu Huiqing could be in any danger.
But now although Lu Huiqing has pressed the two governments outside Beijing, Lu Shengqing suddenly moved out the "Bamboo Book Chronicle". Even if he thinks about it with his toes, Han Gang will not think that this is Lu Shengqing is extremely bored, and he begins to prepare to spend the rest of his life on academics.
Han Gang frowned, according to his memory, the record of the republic in the "Bamboo Book" was indeed different from the "Historical Records".
It's something he's done in the past, and it's essentially the same.
Use a conclusive evidence that can be proved to be unequivocal to find the facts that are recognized by the world, so as to establish your own authority.
From Galileo on the Huami Cliff of Qionglin Yuan, to the cognitive errors of the ancients such as rotten grass and Yizi to compete for the right to interpret the classics, to directly excavate the oracle bone inscription, and smash Wang Anshi, who was holding "Zishuo" and wanted to establish the status of a new scholar, was the result of Han Gang's use of such means.
It's just that this method seems to have been learned.
"What did Lu Shengqing say?" Han Gang calmed down and asked with a smile, "Is it said that the Zhou Zhao Republic is not the Zhou Gong and the Zhao Gong standing side by side, but the Gongbo and Gan thrones?" β
The republic has always had two sayings, according to historical records, it is 'King Zhou Li was brutal and overthrown by the people, and there was no owner in the world at that time, so the Duke of Zhou and Zhao Gong jointly ruled and called the republic'. But there is another saying, that is, King Zhou Li died, there was no owner in the world, Gongbohe was elected by the princes, and the throne was temporarily taken - so it was called the Gan throne - among them, Gongbohe was the princes of the Zhou royal family, and they were sealed in the Gongguo, and the name was he, so it was called the Republic.
Han Gang didn't put much effort into historical materials, but he insisted on studying for 20 years, at least "Historical Records Suoyin" and "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period" were all intensively read.
If it's just this little thing, it won't make it difficult for Han Gang to do. He smiled and said: "Is it based on Shi Qian's "Historical Records", or is it based on the "Bamboo Book" of today's people?" β
Zeng Xiaokuan shook his head, "If it's just such a thing, it won't be enough to let Lu Shengqing hang a name." Lu Huiqing will not be unpredictable. β
"What else ......" Zeng Xiaokuan mentioned it several times, and Han Gang finally woke up, "Put Taijia in Tonggong?!" β
Zeng Xiaokuan nodded.
It can only be this!
The two governments were able to imprison the Son of Heaven, and the theoretical basis of their actions came from the story of Yi Yin putting Taijia in Tonggong.
If someone proves that Yi Yin Fang put Taijia in Tonggong, not as the historical records say, then there will definitely be people among the bureaucrats who have lost their reputation for righteousness and have been suppressed to take the opportunity to rebound.
Even if the two governments control the military strength of the world, but the foundation of their ruling is broken, it is equivalent to missing legs, and there will be big trouble.
Cultural attack and military defense, how can it be wasted!
If you just say the authenticity of Yi Yin's release of Taijia in Tong Palace, it was actually not without objections before. But those are just a few words translated from the documents of the past dynasties, and they are not a matter at all.
But now it is Lu Shengqing who has sorted out a "Bamboo Book Chronicle", and the whole book and scattered records are very different from people's persuasion.
"And the Chronicles!" Hangang Road.
Han Gang didn't care which one was right. The vast majority of people in the world cite historical materials just to prove their own correctness, and they do not care about the correctness of historical books.
If the "Bamboo Book" prevails, the story of Yi Yin's release of Taijia in Tonggong, which is warm and affectionate in the "Historical Records", will become a prince's revenge [Note 1].
Fortunately, the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" is a new book, and in the future, it will use the records in the book to attack the behavior of the two governments, and in the eyes of the world, it must be some contrarian literati. The common understanding in the world is still subject to the "Historical Records".
"Yes, and the Chronicles." Zeng Xiaokuan said, "We are in the front, and Lu Huiqing is in the back, so even if it is criticized, there is still a rebuttal." But if the republican language is used again, what will the world think when they see it? β
There are some things that can never be done again.
The previous incident of 'putting Taijia in Tonggong' collided with it, and it can be said that the Lu brothers deliberately targeted it - and this is indeed the case. But now that the 'Republic' has collided, it is equivalent to a clever thief who has caught the stupid thief, and the two mansions that are guarded by Lu Huiqing and Lu Shengqing, as well as Han Gang, will definitely be embarrassed.
"Can't use a republic?" Han Gang sighed, this is a good word.
"It must not be used." Zeng Xiaokuan said affirmatively, "Even the Yellow Emperor can't be eraed." β
The two religions of the West are based on their origins, but it is not feasible for China to emulate them. Not to mention that it will be attacked by people is a barbarian and cunning summer, but the fact that "Bamboo Book Chronicle" has been from the beginning of the Yellow Emperor is inevitably reminiscent of people.
"But the era name can only be regarded as a stubble." Zeng Xiaokuan said again, "Judging from the matter of "Bamboo Book Chronicle", Lu Huiqing's heart is still not dead, and I hope that Yukun will be careful." β
"Thank you Lingqiu for mentioning it, I'll pay attention." Han Gang nodded and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect Lu Huiqing to be so hard to change his heart." β
"He has a grudge in his heart." Zeng Xiaokuan said with a smile, "But now I can only write and write books, and I can't do big things with a thorn in the shadow." β
Han Gang said, "Not necessarily. Give him a chance, and he will definitely make waves. β
"As long as Jingshi is stable, he can't make big waves." Zeng Xiaokuan thought about it and said, "It's best to reward the army earlier, so as not to be taken advantage of." β
The imperial court ceremony, according to the story, should be rewarded for hundreds of officials and three armies. The wedding of the Son of Heaven is naturally a special reward. However, the two governments decided not to give the Son of Heaven the opportunity to buy people's hearts, and they would reward him in the name of the Great Council in the near future.
According to the plan drawn up before, in half a month, the first preparatory meeting of the Great Council will be held, and the imperial court will issue a reward in this name a few days in advance, so as not to call long live the three armies and give the emperor a headache to celebrate his birthday.
"No matter how early it is, it will most likely be misunderstood, it is the emperor's reward for them."
The two governments should increase their influence in the army, calm the morale of the army, and avoid the resurgence of the dregs. This is what the two governments want to do. It was well planned, but now it has to be changed.
Han Gang pondered: "It's just Lu Huiqing, there's no need to be so vigilant." The reward was a day or two away, and he couldn't do anything. Han Gang Chong Zeng Xiaokuan smiled and said, "You have to believe in the forbidden army, believe in the guards." β
Zeng Xiaokuan looked at Han Gang again, and felt that he would no longer be entangled in this matter, according to the strength in Lu Huiqing's hands, even if he made a preemptive strike, the political affairs hall would have enough means to win.
"And. Yukun," Zeng Xiaokuan changed to another topic, "the first meeting of your natural society is about to be held, right?" β
Han Gang smiled even more heartily, Lu Huiqing still didn't get out of the old rut, but he didn't want the world to have changed, it could bring some trouble, but it couldn't affect the overall situation, "Well, it's about the same time as the first preparatory meeting." β
Note 1: "Bamboo Book", is a chronicle history book found in the tomb of the Jin Dynasty, because it is made of bamboo, so it is called the bamboo book, the general saying is the history of the Wei State during the Warring States Period, starting from the Yellow Emperor, has been recorded until the King of Wei Anjiao.
Nowadays, the "Bamboo Book" of the Western Jin Dynasty and the original version of the examination have been lost, and there are two versions of the present book and the ancient book in the world, and the present book is generally considered to be a forgery of later generations, and the ancient book is the Qing Dynasty Zhu You has collected all the books that quote the content of the "Bamboo Book" since the Western Jin Dynasty, and finally compiled it.
According to the "Historical Records", after Yi Yin imprisoned Taijia for three years, he saw that he had reformed and welcomed him back to the throne. After the restoration of Taijia, he worked hard to become a Ming monarch who was no less than his father. However, according to the record of the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", Yi Yin set himself up as king after banishing Taijia, and seven years later, Taijia raised an army to take revenge and kill Yi Yin, who usurped the throne.
