When the orphans of the Zhao family felt the difficulty of going to the palace, there was no one to guard the Zhao headquarters, so they selected those who were proficient in martial arts from the retainers and the young people of the children of the small sect to form the head of the family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 For hundreds of years, the black clothes have served the king of the Zhao clan faithfully, and despite several bloody coups during this period, they have continued to stubbornly survive. As far as Zhao Wuxian knows, during the Warring States Period, when Touch Long said that the Empress Dowager Zhao, these black-clothed guards were still active in the Zhao court.

However, after Zhao Wuxian was promoted to the head of the family, the affairs of the honor guard and the guards were taken over by his newly established Yulin orphans. As for the previous black clothes, they disappeared into the darkness and were given another more important task: patrol and arrest, as well as spy activities.

In order to ensure the safety of the Zhao family, the black clothes must take precautions, and in peacetime, they mainly focus on the country, spying on the behavior and speech that may threaten the Zhao family and endanger the regime, and arrest and interrogate suspects. In wartime, he also served as a military spy, similar to the later Jinyiwei.

Therefore, Tai Shi Mo wrote a record in the history books that may be unfavorable to the Zhao family, and was soon known by the black-clothed detectives, and before the ink on the Jianshu was dry, he himself was imprisoned and interrogated.

After Zheng Long's death, the black clothes changed several leaders, and now the guard captain is Wang Deng, a scholar from Handan.

Wang Deng is similar to Fan Li, he was a lowly man when the Handan clan was in power, not only was he not appointed, but the villagers often looked down on him, until the Zhao family took refuge in Zhao Wuxian after breaking Handan, and then embarked on a career in office.

He has been diligent and diligent for ten years, he has served as a county magistrate in Zhongmu, and recommended many local talents, and Zhao Wuxian put him in charge of the black clothes, not only because of his talent, but also because of his loyalty.

Perhaps because of the kindness of his confidant, Wang Deng was even willing to taste food and test poison for Zhao Wuxian, and when something happened, he did not consider the right or wrong of morality, but considered whether it was beneficial or harmful to the Zhao regime.

If it is harmful, do not hesitate to suppress it!

At this moment, in the empty storage room, Wang Deng faced Tai Shimo and said, "Shangqing killed the monarch and the prince? Where did Taishi hear about such a non-existent thing? ”

Tai Shimo, who closed his eyes and was silent, opened his tired eyes and said calmly: "The rebellion in the Tongyu Palace happened suddenly, who is openly holding a sword in the palace, the death of the prince is quite strange, and the edict of the monarch has not even been handed over to Taishi for preservation, so many doubts, how can it not make people suspicious?" ”

Wang Dengpi didn't smile: "Taishi has never seen what happened, but you can't talk nonsense, let alone write it in the history books, this is not a good history." ”

"Although he is old, his eyes are still bright. The prince has the heart of Zhao, and the king has the intention of taking advantage of the situation, although he is blinded by the current situation, and Zhao Qing also has an excuse to do it, but the act of killing the prince and forcing the palace is a bit excessive. In this way, the monarch was also forced to death by Zhao Qing, as for the truth of the news circulating in the market, the gentleman is frank, and the villain is often a relative, Zhao Qing himself should be clear. ”

Wang Deng has been the leader of the black-clothed for several years, and he has interrogated no less than one hundred and eighty people, and he is already extremely experienced. After talking a few words to Tai Shimo, he knew that this white-haired, wrinkled old man was a hard bone, and he couldn't talk about it at all, and it was impossible to deal with other people's bribery and coercion before.

So he gave up persuasion, and had murderous intent in his heart, but he still smiled kindly and said: "Taishi's words, I will tell Shangqing one by one." ”

When he left this courtyard, which was specially used to house arrest nobles and ministers, Tai Shimo said to his back: "In that case, tell Zhao Qing another word for me." If he wants to kill me, he will start early, but there are many good histories of the Jin Kingdom, and he is quite willing to follow the pen of Jin Donghu, and the simple history of Qi Taishi, although the old man is dead, there are still descendants. Whether it is made public or hidden in the mountains, this event will eventually be recorded. The world is not confused, how can Zhao Qing's whitewashing skills deceive the whole world? ”

……

Wang Deng didn't reply, but walked away after a slight pause.

The cell, which was walled on all sides and had only a small skylight in a little light, fell silent.

Tai Shimo sat on the couch, and the only thing in front of him was a desk, and there was also a copy of the "Jin History" he had repaired, which was the official history book of the Jin Kingdom. The bamboo slips were spread out, and Wang Deng asked him to think about it again, and crossed out the dazzling ink characters of "Jin Qing Zhao Wuxian killed his monarch and the prince".

But in Tai Shimo's opinion, this is absolutely impossible.

He is over 70 years old this year, from a small official in the Tibetan room to the Taishi of the Jin Kingdom, in charge of drafting documents, instructing princes and ministers, recording historical events, compiling history books, and taking charge of national classics, astronomical calendars, sacrifices, etc., in this line of work for decades.

He has lived too long, and he has seen the dawn of peace after the meeting of the soldiers turn into the flames of war in the world, and he has seen countless states and countries turn into ashes, the etiquette and happiness are broken, the people's hearts are not ancient, the powerful ministers ignore the order and commit rebellion, and the princes and kings are addicted to vocal music and wine and lose their society, and they cannot die well.

After getting used to it, it will be followed by the coldness of the outside and the realization of the heart. That's why he saw through the natural contradiction of "there are two things" from the world, and said bluntly to Zhao Ying: "The society is impermanent, and the monarch and the minister are impermanent, since ancient times!" ”

Therefore, he did not have emotional fluctuations about the death of Marquis Wu of Jin and the crown prince, and he did not want to be a courtier loyal to the monarch.

But coldness does not mean indifference, as a Taishi, you must carefully record what is happening in the country. And to find its branches and leaves, to find its poor, to find the truth, so he wrote down what he thought was the truth.

Moreover, Shi Mo believes that history has literary quality and detailed words, so there is no need to change it.

In the eyes of their group of historians, history books are sacred and cannot be tampered with at will. When a historian hears or witnesses something that he thinks is important, he writes it down. The ancient Dan Book of Jixun, the chronicle of Qing history, so it is called Danqing, when the strokes are formed one by one on the Danqing, the fact of this matter is doomed, any easier, is a blasphemy of history.

Although he will face pressure from powerful ministers, and even usher in death and the end of the annihilation, Shi Mo will not waver.

"Jin Donghu, Qi Taishi, I don't know who I will become this time?"

……

"Taishi wants to emulate Dong Hu, Qi Taishi?"

After receiving Wang Deng's response, Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In the early days of Chinese history, historians were a terrifying group, they were still holding their backbones and sticking to the bottom line of their profession under the powerful monarchy, and Dong Hu and Qi Taishi were the spiritual pillars of the historians.

Back then, Jin Linggong was instructed by Zhao Dun to kill Zhao Wear in Taolin, so Dong Hu, the historian of the Jin Kingdom, directly wrote down the words "Zhao Dun killed his monarch", Zhao Dun defended that it was Zhao Wear who killed the monarch and not me, Dong Hu retorted that you are Zhengqing, made a state of exile, ran to the border but stopped and waited for the change in the DPRK, the monarch was killed, and you did not crusade against the monarch killer first after you came back. Zhao Dun was speechless to say this, so he could only let Dong Hu remember this pen, but the interesting thing is that Dong Hu's descendant Dong Anyu became a diehard loyalist of the Zhao family.

As for the deeds of Qi Taishi, it was when the powerful minister Cui Zhu killed the monarch Qi Zhuanggong, Qi Taishi wrote straight: "Cui Zhu killed his king." Cui Shu was furious and killed Qi Taishi. Taishi's two younger brothers also recorded truthfully, and they were all killed by Cui Zhu. Cui Shu told Qi Taishi's third brother: "Your three brothers are all dead, if you want to live, then the book will be violently ill, what is it?" Qi Taishi's younger brother responded with the fact that it was the duty of a historian to write directly. Dereliction of duty to survive, it is better to die, he still wrote down the facts, Cui Shu was also shocked by the hard bones of the historians, and had no choice but to turn a blind eye and go with them.

What he did was right, because when the southern history of Qi heard about it, he ran over with bamboo slips, wanting to continue to write straight after Qi Taishi's family died!

These are the two major victories in the confrontation between the historians and the powerful ministers, and they are also the pride of Chinese historiography.

Zhao Wuxian was also fascinated by it, and after coming to this era, he also attached great importance to history, but he never expected that one day he would face the choice of Zhao Dun and Cui Zhu.

Wang Deng said softly: "Your Majesty can let Taishi die in the secret room, and the gods will not know it." ”

"But there have already been historians who spread the news of Tai Shimo's house arrest."

Zhao Wuxian sighed, his enemy was not only Tai Shimo, a respected old man, but also the entire group of historians.

The morale of the pre-Qin Dynasty has always been fearless of death for the sake of the ideas in their hearts, even if they are scribes and historians who can only hold a pen. When the poor season is present, one by one, their heart of defending the Tao is comparable to that of a dead soldier on the battlefield, which is a point that Zhao Wuxian appreciates.

However, when one day, you suddenly find that you are standing on the opposite side of the spirit that you have been obsessed with and become the traitorous villain under Danqing, what should you do?

"Youzhi? Kill? Wuxian fell into thought, but before he could finish thinking about it, someone came to intercede for Tai Shimo.

This is expected, although Tai Shimo has no power, but his weight in the Jin Dynasty is extremely heavy, several generations of monarchs have been instructed by him, countless nobles have asked him for advice, even the unsympathetic father Zhao Ying, but also to Shi Mo's teacher, Zhao's Zongzheng Shi Zhao, is more directly a student of Tai Shimo.

However, to Zhao Wuxian's surprise, among the people who interceded for Shi Mo, there was also his concubine Kong Jiao......
