Miscellaneous Talk – Li Shimin (Free Chapter)

Recently, the well-known comic "Long Song Xing" is rumored to be about to be adapted into a TV series, and its original author, Miss Xia Da, has caused a lot of controversy in a series of comics.

In order to highlight her big heroine, our Tang Taizong Li Shimin asked for a gun again! smear and depreciate, the white lotus of the heroine.

However, I have no intention of criticizing Miss Xia Da and "Long Song Xing", because I don't know either.

However, in order to attract everyone's attention and highlight their "unique vision", many people often demonize the characters who were originally very positive in history, and elevate some negative roles.

As a result, the most famous Tian Khan in history often became the target of smearing.

However, here, I think it is necessary to popularize the life of Li Shimin and Tang Taizong, as well as his most famous case of "tampering with history".

Let's talk about the conclusion first, Li Shimin is not a good son, not a good brother, not a good brother, not a good uncle.

However, he was a good emperor who amazed history. In China's more than 2,000 years of feudal history, his talent may be comparable to others, but his achievements and merits are unique and unmatched!

The brilliance of Emperor Taizong shines on the ancient and modern, and it is amazing! With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall, and with people as a mirror, we can know the gains and losses. The name Taizong of Tang is a mirror of all emperors for thousands of years!

Of course, he was not perfect, and from the perspective of today, he had the limitations of a feudal emperor. But at the same time, he also did everything that a feudal emperor could do.

Li Shimin joined the army in Yanmen at the age of sixteen, and at the age of eighteen, he joined the army with his father and went straight to Guanzhong.

"Taizong galloped down from the south plain, divided his army into two, and after coming out of his formation, the old soldiers were defeated and beheaded. Enter Jingyang, hit the thief Liu Harrier, and break it. The Tang soldiers attacked Chang'an, Taizongtun Jinchengfang, attacked its northwest, and conquered it. ”

Break Xue Rengao and pacify Longxi.

"Taizong rode dozens of horses into the thief formation, so the king worked together, Rahu was defeated, beheaded thousands of levels, and threw himself into the valley and the dead were incalculable. Taizong led more than 20 horsemen to chase after him, and he folded his jaw to multiply it. Rengao is afraid, and the baby city is self-defending. On the eve of the day, the army followed, surrounded on all sides. In the Zhu Dynasty, Rengao asked for surrender and captured more than 10,000 elite soldiers and 50,000 men and women. ”

Defeated the Song Dynasty and Liu settled in the north.

"Looking for Yong'an Wang Xiaoji was defeated in Xia County, Yu Yun, Dugu Huai'en, Tang Jian and the thief general Xun Xiang, Wei Chi Jingde will be held by Huzhou. Taizong sent Yin Kaishan and Qin Shubao to invite him to Meiliang River, and he broke it, but he was only spared, captured all of them, and returned to Baibi. ”

"Taizong led the elite cavalry to attack it, and after rushing into its formation, the thieves were defeated and chased for dozens of miles."

In April of the third year, he defeated Song Jingang Yu Baibi. King Kong went to Jiezhou, Taizong chased him, galloped 200 miles in one hundred nights, and stayed in the west plain of the Bird Mouse Valley. ”

The first battle of Tiger Prison Pass shocked the world, and the Tang Dynasty has settled in the Central Plains!

Taizong rode in the north of the mountain, and ordered Qu Tutong to lead 5,000 foot soldiers to cross the water to attack it, because of the commandment said: "When the soldiers are handed over, they will release the smoke, and I should lead the cavalry to the south." "The soldiers are only connected, and Taizong rushes to ride them, and he stands up and advances, corresponding to the inside and outside. The thieves fought to the death, and there were many scattered and reunited. Since dawn and noon, the thieves have begun to retreat. The army took advantage of it, captured 8,000 men, and entered the camp. ”

"Taizong attacked it first, and everything was gone. The Russian army fought together, and the dust broke out. Taizong led Shi Danai, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Shubao, Yu Wenxin and others to wave their flags in, directly standing out behind their formations, and unfurling my banner. The thief saw it and collapsed. chased for thirty miles, beheaded more than 3,000 people, captured 50,000 of them, and captured Jiande in battle. ”

Xue Rengao, Song Jingang, Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, and Wang Shichong were all heroes for a while, but they were all defeated by Li Shimin.

The Turkic Koubian, the Hu people wanted to enter the Central Plains again, Li Shimin set up suspicious soldiers to form an alliance with Weishui, and in four years, he "sealed the wolf Juxu" and captured the Turkic Khan in Chang'an!

Throughout Li Shimin's life, it is extremely common to expand the territory.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Turks were pacified, and millions of Han people were able to return to the Tang Dynasty.

Zhenguan for nine years, flattening Guhun.

In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Ping Gaochang set up a capital protectorate in the Western Regions, so the Western Regions returned to the embrace of China.

Zhenguan for eighteen years, peaceful and elderly.

In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, Goguryeo was hit hard and the land of thousands of miles in eastern Liaodong was collected.

In the twenty years of Zhenguan, Pingxue Yantuo, drank Ma Hanhai, and set up Anbei (Yanran) to protect the mansion.

In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, he exterminated the turtle (qiu) zi (ci), shocking the Western Regions.

In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, he sent the right Xiaowei Lang to capture the Chebi Khan in Chang'an.

Not to mention the cultural governance, if you want to carefully investigate the "Zhenguan Zhizhi", you can get a glimpse of its appearance from a series of works such as "Two Tang Dynasty Books", "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries", "Emperor Fan" and so on, I can't finish writing here even if I write it for three days and three nights.

We just need to know that Li Shimin has such a great military exploit, but after his death, he was called "Wen". Later generations also called it the "Emperor Wen" of the Tang Dynasty.

Just by looking at the evaluation of later generations, you can get a glimpse of one or two.

"Traces of their hearing are not confused, good as a stream, a thousand years can be called, just one person!" ——Five Dynasties of Old Tang Dynasty Books

"What's more, the king of the supreme rule will not come out of the world!" - Song "New Tang Dynasty Book"

"Shengzai, the martyrdom of Taizong! In addition to the Sui Rebellion, it is compared to Tang and Wu; The beauty of governance, Shu Jicheng, health. —Song Ouyang Xiu

"Taizong's civil and military talent is higher than that of the ancients. After three generations, China's prosperity has not yet been achieved. —Song Sima Guang

"The sage of Tang Taizong, since the Western Han Dynasty, is only one person. Ren Xian can enable, will be no other, frugal and thrifty, the world is almost punished. Since three generations or less, there is no comparison. —Song Su Zhe

"In the past, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty used the strategy of divine martial arts to set up trouble, and the king of the world and the power of the four seas. However, the so-called consolidation of the world's momentum, in order to leave all the descendants, cover the unestablished. So he borrowed troops from the house, placed the generals in the guard, and controlled them according to the customs. If the army is in the government, there will be no internal dictatorship; If the general is guarded, the soldier will not be in danger. However, I still thought that it was not yet, but it was the invaders of the four provinces: breaking the Turks, razing Tuhun, leveling Gaochang, and destroying Yanqi, all captured their kings, and personally drove Liaozuo and crippled their country. All of these are not those who use force, but those who establish power and consolidate the power of the world. —Song He Qufei

"Taizong is rich in the world, you are the son of heaven, and his achievements are all caused by him, and he can bow his head and suppress his will, and listen to the words of rebellion to the evil ministers of the past. Alack! This is why the rule of Zhenguan is more than the king of three generations? —Song Lu Jiuyuan

"Three generations later, the governance of the Tang Dynasty is not prosperous, and in the three hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, Mo Ruozhenguan is prosperous." - Ming Xianzong

???? Next is the time to debunk the rumors

Li Shimin died after taking the Indian monk's pill?

The basis for this statement is the "Old Tang Book": "When the time is to get the country of Fang Tu, the country is a beautiful woman, and he says that he has a life span of 200 years, and the cloud has the art of immortality." Taizong paid deep respect, and the museum was in the Jinbiao Gate. Make a medicine for longevity. Ordered the military department to be the secretary of Cui Dunli, and sent the world to collect all kinds of strange medicines and stones, which cannot be counted. After the years were extended, the medicine was completed, but it did not work, and it was returned to the country. The burial of Taizong Zhaoling is also, carved in stone like the shape of Alonashun, listed under the Xuanque. ”

As a result, some people made a lot of nonsense, saying that Li Shimin died by taking pills in order to live forever.

But even at the level of classical Chinese of ordinary high school students, it can be seen that taking pills and Taizong's death are two different things.

One thing is that there is an old god stick in India who said that he was two hundred years old, so he gave Li Shimin alchemy medicine, but after eating it, it had no effect, so he was later driven away.

The second thing is that after Li Shimin died, he was buried in Zhaoling, and people carved the stone statue of Alonashun on the Xuanque of Zhaoling to show off his martial arts. And Alonashun is a king of Tianzhu captured by Wang Xuance.

There is no evidence that Li Shimin's death is directly related to the pill, if he really died because of the pill, how could he just expel the divine stick?

Tang Taizong did not take the pill to seek longevity and cure diseases.

Twenty-one years of Zhenguan:

"(New Year) Admiral is crying, Fang Xuanling and above have recovered from his illness, and he is stubborn."

"(April) is the month, the wind is sick, the bitter Beijing division is in the summer, summer, April, Yi Chou, and the end of the Nanshan Taihe Waste Palace is Cuiwei Palace."

"(November) Renzi, healed from illness, three days at a glance."

The twenty-third year of Zhenguan (the year of Li Shimin's death):

"(March) Xin You, Shangli went to the door of Xiandao, and pardoned the world. Ding Mao, the prince listened to the government in Jinyemen. ”

"(In May), the bitterness and profit increased, and the prince did not leave his side day and night, or did not eat for many days, and some of them turned white. Shang wept and said: "You can be filial and love like this, why do I hate to die!" "Ding Mao, be fast, summon the eldest grandson Wuji into the Hanfeng Palace."

It can be seen that Li Shimin died of a normal illness, and it has nothing to do with the pill, he originally hoped that the pill could cure the disease, but it had no effect.

In addition, there is also a rumor that Li Shimin was extravagant in his later years and overhauled the palace.

This is also a rumor, Li Shimin is good at repairing palaces, but most of them are repairing palaces in the Sui Emperor and Li Yuan periods, which is far from being a big construction.

Due to the scattered historical materials here, it is not tabled.

Finally, and the most widely spread "Li Shimin tampered with history", people who do not learn and have no skills but are good at talking about history beat their chests on this, saying that "Li Shimin changed history, and the poison is endless."

Did Li Shimin really tamper with history? The answer is no. A year and a half ago, I wrote an article on Zhihu to refute someone, and now I can revise it slightly.

The change of Xuanwumen, it has been clearly stated in the history books, there is no need to cover up, Tang Taizong wants to read the history of the country, and Fang Xuanling showed him that it is not the original version at all, but a modified version on top of the original.

Moreover, from beginning to end, Li Shimin has not read the original materials of his own history.

"Xuan Ling Nai and Xu Jingzong and others in the matter were deleted as "Gaozu" and "Jinshang Record": 癸巳, the book is completed, and it is on it."

It can be said that Li Shimin did not come into contact with the real version of the history book at all, but Fang Xuanling and others revised the special version, and the original materials are still retained.

Some people say conclusively that Li Shimin falsified history, and his reasons are as follows:

"On the fourth day of June in the book, the language is slightly hidden, and Xuan Ling said: "In the past, Zhou Gong was in charge, Cai Yi'an Zhou, and Uncle Ji Youlu was in charge of Lu." The reason why I am also like an ear, how can the historian be secretive! "Immediately cut off the floating words and write straight to the point."

Even if you only have a high school student's level of classical Chinese, you can know what this means.

It is very clear in the history books that the living notes are slightly hidden, what is the meaning of subtle concealment? The Spring and Autumn Period said: Shame for the Venerable, shame for the sage, and illness for the relatives.

At this time, Tang Taizong was a venerable man and a sage, so the living note was naturally hidden for him, and there was no need for Tang Taizong's order at all, and the historian naturally blurred some disgraceful things, which must also include the so-called Xuanwumen change.

But from Tang Taizong's words, it can be known that he is very frank, even justifiable, at least on the surface. He used Zhou Gong and Ji You as examples to show that what he did was reasonable.

Therefore, he blamed the historian and deleted the vague and exaggerated words that were written: he ordered to cut off the floating words and write them directly.

What does that mean? It is to tell the historian to have one thing to say, don't hide it for Lao Tzu, as if Lao Tzu is a thief, and write boldly if you want to write.

There is also such a record in "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries":

"Xuan Ling and others then omitted the history of the country as a chronicle, and wrote 20 volumes of Gaozu and Taizong's records, which are on the table."

"Taizong saw the June 4th incident (the change of Xuanwu Gate), and his words were many microtexts, which was said to be Xuanling: In the past, Zhou Gong was in charge, Cai and Zhou were in charge, and Ji Youyu was Uncle Ya and Lu Guoning. What I do is the same as this, so I can build an environment and benefit the ears of the people. The historian writes, why bother? It is advisable to change the floating words immediately and write them directly. ”

"Wei Zheng said: The minister heard that the lord was extremely respectful and had nothing to fear. Only the history of the country, used to punish the evil and persuade the good, the book is not true, what is the view of the heirs? Your Majesty is sending the historian to speak right, and he is in line with the way of justice. ”

Wei Zheng didn't say anything about this, but praised Tang Taizong's spirit of seeking truth from facts! Even if the minister Wei Zheng was really afraid of the importance of the Xuanwu Sect, it was impossible for him to take the initiative in this matter.

So this obviously shows Li Shimin's open-mindedness, why does it become a falsification of history in the mouths of some people? If he really tampered with history, the first thing he wanted to change was to delete the records of his reading history books!

Moreover, Tang Taizong used to read the history of the Tang Dynasty, not his private daily note! And when it comes to private history, he does want to see it:

"In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, Chu Suiliang was the counselor, and he also knew the living note."

Taizong asked: What is the matter with books? Is it about the human monarch to see? I want to see this reporter, but I will look at the gains and losses of what I have done to warn myself. ”

"Sui Liang said: Today's living, the history of the left and right in the past, to remember the words and deeds of the king, the good and the evil are written, and the lord of the few people is not illegal, and the emperor bows to the history."

"Taizong said: I am not good, I will remember it?"

"Sui Liang said: It is better for a minister to keep the way than to keep an official, and the minister should carry a pen, why not write it?" Liu Xunjin, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, said: "The king of the people is at fault, like the eclipse of the sun and the moon, everyone can see it. If you don't remember the order, everyone in the world will remember it. ”

"Taizong thinks so."

Tang Taizong: Can I read my own living notes?

Chu Suiliang: Get out, no, I haven't heard of the emperor who wants to see his own life.

Tang Taizong: Do you have any bad things about me, have you written them down?

Chu Suiliang: Don't worry, I've written it all down.

Liu Xun: Don't worry, even if he doesn't remember it, we will.

Tang Taizong: ...... Count you ruthless.

Tang Taizong can't even look at his own daily life, how can he tamper with it?

Regarding the so-called "falsification of history", there is such a record in the history books:

"Until July 8. It is also called Sui Liang. Erzhi life. Remember what is good and evil. I am diligent in doing three things today. The historian does not write about my evil. A far-sighted lesson from the failures of the previous generation. Thought it was a tortoise. The second is to use good people. Together, we will become a political road. The third is to reject the small group. Don't listen to slander. I can keep it. It will never turn around. Eagle dogs love everything in life. That's it. Although there is a good time for winter hunting. I don't have to go back in time. Nor has he ever visited the strange. Seek shame from afar. The day has come. The food has no taste. Since the non-anointing rain has been for many years. Shi Xing Kejie. I haven't tasted a glass of wine with the public. Play the orchestra. I fear every day. In the end, Kuang Yi was waited for. Each should be encouraged. ”

Li Shimin: The baby is very well-behaved, knows people well, does not listen to slander, and can stick to his heart. In the past, I liked to play with eagle dogs, but now I don't play, although I occasionally hunt, but I didn't return in more than ten days, and I didn't go to the Western Regions to ask for treasures like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The baby is trembling, fortunately, with the assistance of you ministers, don't write bad things about me in the history books, let's always be each other's angels!

Has Li Shimin tampered with history, and even begged Chu Suiliang for mercy in the last few years, if he can really revise history, he still needs to do this?

And we must first make one thing clear: the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty was compiled during the Five Dynasties, and the Book of the New Tang Dynasty was compiled by the Song Dynasty. The editor is not at all afraid of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty

Since any person today can "see" that Tang Taizong "tampered with" history, then in ancient times, where historical materials are richer, historians Liu Yun, Zhao Ying, Song Qi, Ouyang Xiu and others can't see it? Or are they all related to Li Shimin and helped Li Shimin tamper with history?

As for the "Book of the Two Tang Dynasty" and "Datang Entrepreneurship and Living Note", there is a discrepancy between the matter of Jinyang's army.

The text of the New Tang Dynasty is as follows:

Gaozu stayed in Taiyuan, led the Jinyang Palace Supervisor, and the good guest Pei Lin was the deputy supervisor, the people of the world Yin and Silence, and the Lonely chose the Jinyang Palace people to serve Gaozu privately. Gaozu drank too lonely, drank calmly, and told him about the big event, and Gaozu was shocked. Silence said: "I am serving the palace people, and I should be punished for it." Because the people of the world are also in vain, Gaozu Chuyang did not allow it, and wanted to send the people to the official, and he had already allowed it, saying: "I love you, how can I bear to sue you for evil?" ”

"Datang Entrepreneurship Notes" is as follows:

When the crown prince was in Hedong, the only Qin king said: "The Sui calendar is coming to an end, my family will follow the talisman, and those who do not get up early will not gather their ears." Now that he is suffering from the misfortune of Jinli, Erkunji must meet the army of Mengjin, and he must not be killed together, his family is ruined and killed, and he is laughed at by the heroes. The king wept and enlightened the emperor and said: "Mangdang Shan Ze is a place to accommodate people." Please be with Hanzu to observe the changes of time. ”

This seems to be the complete opposite, regarding the proposal to raise troops, the "Book of Tang" said that it was planned by Li Shimin, and the "Datang Entrepreneurship and Living Note" said that Li Yuan took the initiative to say it to Li Shimin.

But with a little sober analysis, the two are not contradictory. Because it can be concluded from the "Book of Tang" that Li Shimin was a staunch rebel, and he kept pushing Li Yuan to rebel.

But Li Yuan was hesitating, and it was recorded in the "Notes on the Entrepreneurship and Living of the Tang Dynasty" that he was not a staunch rebel, he was also hesitating, and he did not propose to rebel, but explained to Li Shimin why he did not raise the army: "The Sui calendar is about to end, my family will continue to win the talisman, and those who do not get up early will not gather the ears of the Gu Er brothers...... They must not be killed together, their families are ruined, and they are laughed at by heroes. ”

So the question is, why did Li Yuan explain to Li Shimin for no reason? There can only be one reason, that is, Li Shimin was provoking him before, and he would only give an explanation if Li Shimin urged him to rebel quickly.

And the farce of Jinyang drinking and letting the palace maid sleep with him should have happened. But in fact, Li Shimin's method is very naïve, more like a child playing a temper. Rebellion is such a big thing, you can arrange for your father to sleep with two palace maids?

Of course, Li Yuan knew Li Shimin's intentions afterwards, and he estimated that he didn't care, and as for saying that he wanted to pull Li Shimin to see the official, it was just for show and scare Li Shimin. Sure enough, Li Shimin was quickly released.

And in the face of such a radical son, as a father, he naturally had to appease: "Sui is about to run out, and the Mandate of Heaven is indeed coming to my house, but why don't I go to the army, it's because I take into account that your brothers are not there, balabalabala......"

At that time, Li Shimin was less than twenty years old, young and vigorous and easy to get excited, and some children had normal tempers, so don't think about Li Shi's arrangement of palace maids to sleep with him.

After Li Yuan's statement, Li Shimin also understood:

(Qin) Wang wept and Qi Emperor said: "Mangdang Shan Ze is a place to accommodate people." Please be with Hanzu to observe the changes of time. ”

So all of this is not contradictory, but they are hidden from each other. "Datang Entrepreneurship and Living Note" is not an official history, nor is it an instant note, but Wen Daya completed the manuscript in the early years of Zhenguan (or the end of Wude), which can be said to be a memoir.

Many of these things must have been found at the time, and it is impossible to say that he could even write down what Li Yuan and Li Shimin said and did. Moreover, Wen Daya is Li Yuan's former minister, and it is normal to hide the not-so-honorable things such as sleeping with palace maids. After all, when he wrote the book, it was still in Li Yuan's martial arts years.

Now many people have such a point of view: Li Jiancheng is actually very powerful, it is Li Shimin who is jealous of him and deletes all his credits, and Li Jiancheng in the official history is written very poorly, just because history is written by the victors

But is that really the case? Not to mention whether Li Shimin's hand can manage the revision of the old and new Tang books in the official history.

More importantly, is Li Jiancheng really bad in the official history? Some people's opinion is that the official history was tampered with by Li Shimin and erased all the credit for Li Jiancheng's fa, so Li Jiancheng in the official history is very bad.

However, let's take a look at Li Jiancheng's exploits recorded in the "New Tang Book":

"Lead the troops to the West River, from the Pingjing Division. Tang Guojian, as the son of the world, opened the government and placed the official subordinates. He also moved the general of the Fu Army, was the marshal of the East Quest, sent 10,000 people to Luoyang, and awarded the book order. ”

"The edict led the general Sang Xian and the Sizhu group of thieves, and leveled it."

"Ji Hu Liu Yan became Koubian, Zhao Jiancheng entered the discussion, broke the Juzhou, beheaded thousands of tricks, led the canal chief to know the official, and recruited the group of Hu. Cheng Cheng and its handsome surrender, built a fear of its people, the desire for the city and county, so that the Hu Caozhu, Yin Le soldiers killed 6,000 people, Cheng Cheng Liang Division. Taste the north, encounter 400 thieves and surrender, and indulge in their ears. ”

"Even after the revival of the black man, the king of Lujiang abandoned the state, and Shandong was in chaos. Ordered Qi Wang Yuanji to ask for it, and those who surrendered were forgiven, but the people did not believe it. When it was built, the captives were all sent to him, and the people were happy. Thieves are afraid, running at night, and soldiers are chasing. The black man was still prosperous, but the arson envoy told him: "If you return to the village, if your wife is gone, she has been released." "The crowd is scattered, or its canal is long and descends, and the birds are black."

The records in the history books are clear, why is there no war exploits?

Even thanks to Li Shimin's mind, even the process of the Xuanwumen Revolution is recorded very clearly in the official history, and even the fact that Tang Taizong personally shot his brother has been recorded:

Russia and the Turkic Koubian, the prince recommended Yuanji to the north, wanting to make chaos because of his soldiers. The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Chi Jingde, Hou Junji and others persuaded the king of Qin to plan first.

Wang Naimi's secret performance was completed and the harem was chaotic, because he said: "The minister has no negative brother, and now he wants to kill the minister, which is to avenge Shichong and Jiande." The ministers died, although they were underground, and they were ashamed to see the thieves. The emperor was shocked and reported: "When you are poor, you will be poor, and you will participate early." ”

Zhang Jieyu Chi was completed, but called Yuan Jimou, and said: "Please Le Gongjia, don't go to the court." Jiancheng said: "Good, but if you don't join the court, how can you know?" "Chi Ming, ride a horse to Xuanwu Gate, King Qin arrived first, and defended himself with nine warriors. Emperor Shi has summoned Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, Yu Wenshi, Dou Dan, Yan Shigu and others to enter.

Built, Yuanji to Linhu Palace, Jue Change, Reverse Walking, King Qin with the call, Yuanji Bow to shoot, can not be the three. King Qin shot and died, Yuan Ji left, and Jingde chased and killed him.

If Li Shimin really wants to change history, why should he let the history books record his crimes? Killing siblings? And cut the grass and eradicate the roots, even the nephew did not let go, these things are clearly recorded in the history books.

Or is it said that Li Shimin tampered with the history of the early Tang Dynasty because he was not properly appointed, which is already the consensus of the academic community, and you are better than Chen Yinke, Huang Yongnian, Li Shutong and other senior scholars? Ouyang Xiu and Song Qi have a wealth of historical materials, and their understanding of the history of the early Tang Dynasty is deeper than that of today? The modern historiography that co-authored us has developed in vain for more than 100 years, and Chen Yinke and Huang Yongnian are all swaggering? Later generations continue to use human information and achievements, constantly solve unsolved problems in the past, and discover problems that have not been discovered before, so there is academic progress, do you know?

In short, the point of view of these people is that Li Shimin's reform of history is the consensus of the historical circles. This sentence alone is enough to show his ignorance, because it was never a consensus.

also raised the views of Chen Yinke, Huang Yongnian, Li Shutong, and other historians of the Republic of China to refute it, which is even more ridiculous.

Not to mention whether the attainments of these three predecessors can be compared to Ouyang Xiu and others, let's talk about the views of these people: Because these three predecessors said that Li Shimin changed history, Li Shimin changed history.

Superstitious experts are simply laughable and generous. He also made an interesting point, if these masters are all wrong, and the modern historiography of our country has developed in vain for more than a hundred years?

Those predecessors are indeed masters of national history, but please think about their era clearly, they were born in the most turbulent era of the last century, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the historical data is very scarce, and there is certainly not as much information as when the state organized the revision of history in the Song Dynasty, and it is normal for the views to be biased, but it is really funny to be superstitious.

"Later generations continue to use human materials and achievements, constantly solve unsolved problems in the past, and discover problems that have not been discovered by predecessors, so there is academic progress."

This sentence itself is very true, we are now in the era of information explosion, and all kinds of historical materials are ready to be picked up, so after research, we can also supplement and appropriately criticize some erroneous views of historiography a hundred years ago.

I take the original history books, and "I think" and "the predecessors of the scholars think" Yunyun, which is undoubtedly very unrigorous.

He also said: Xu Jingzong, who participated in the compilation of "Zhenguan Shilu", has a bad character, and may deliberately bend his pen to cater to some people in power.

However, what does this have to do with Tang Taizong's falsification of history? What's more, it was Chu Suiliang who wrote the living notes, and Tang Taizong himself had already criticized Xu Jingzong's crooked writing of the actual record!

And in the history books, there is another cloud: "Respectfully, the people of Hedong in Puzhou are also." At the beginning of Zhenguan, he raised Jinshi. There are edicts in Russia that the secretary of the edict is introspective, Zuoyan Shigu and Kong Yingda repair the "History of Sui", and seek the prince's school book. Shi Cheng, moved to the Lang, and also repaired the history of the country. and Xu Jingzong wrote "Gaozu" and "Taizong Records", since the establishment of Zhenguan for 14 years, all 40 volumes. ”

The actual record before the fourteenth year of Zhenguan was not cultivated by Xu Jingzong alone, but by two people who practiced together with Jingbo, and Jingbo is known as a good history.

"Shi Liang Guofang Xuanling, known as a talent with a good history, said: Chen Shou and his ilk."

Even the actual record of the ten years after Zhenguan was completed by Jingbo alone:

(Jing Bo) also wrote "Taizong Shilu", from the fifteenth year of Zhenguan to the twenty-third year, for twenty volumes. Play it, give 300 paragraphs. ”

Of course, people can also say that Xu Jingzong is also one of the people in charge in the early stage, so there may still be problems in the history books, but there are records in the history books:

"In the fourth year of Gaozong Xianheng: March Bingshen, Zhao Liu Renliang and others revised the history of the country, and Xu Jingzong and others recorded many untrues."

What does this mean? That is to say, during the period of Tang Gaozong, Liu Renliang revised the history of the country again, and many inaccuracies written by Xu Jingzong were corrected.

To sum up, Li Shimin did not have any act of revising history, and he did not even really read the history books. The so-called Taizong reform of history is just nonsense of good deeds???????
