The martial arts of the Tang Dynasty reached the peak of Zhuxia in the past three hundred years.

Nominally, there was again a central dynasty that owned a territory of seven thousand miles from east to west.

A thing that Li Shimin wanted to do for a long time, but never had the opportunity to do, was finally put on his agenda.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin sat firmly on the throne and said slowly: "I have a heavy history of Zhuxia, especially since the Bang Zhou, and it is the most important thing to repair the history of the previous dynasty and record the past.

Legend has it that when King Su recorded the history of King Wu's war, he said that the history books are the roots of the people of Zhuxia, and with the history books, we can know where we come from and who we are in any era.

When the Winter Turks were destroyed two years ago, the Han armed forces in the north of the Saibei did not need the imperial court to contact, so they took the initiative to help me Datang deliver the news.

With history books, we can not forget our ancestors!

Therefore, I want to overhaul the history books and show it to the world, and it is not easy to repair history.

At the time of Bang Zhou, the good history did not change a word, and it was cited as a beautiful talk, and there were Luo people who sheltered the historians, so the history of Bang Zhou was called beautiful by the world, and it was also called beautiful in the former Han Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty reorganized the national history of the Later Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the countries each revised their history, which has a lot of obscurity, and even has a place that future generations do not know, I deeply understand, if there are untruths in it, how to set things right, how to correct the hearts of the people in the world.

Holding on to the right and making the world prosperous, this is my ambition, I want to hold on to the right, the history books must hold the body to be right.

It is the history of the country at the end of the Han Dynasty that must be carefully edited and revised, and this history book would rather be less than wrong, and those obvious fallacies must be listed separately. ”

As soon as Li Shimin said this, everyone sat up, and the status of history books is beyond doubt, and history books are the source of scriptures.

The national history of the late Han Dynasty is very chaotic, and the national history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties is a little better than that of the late Han Dynasty, but it is still difficult, and many people know very well that there are many mistakes and omissions in the national history of the past few hundred years.

There are many reasons for this, but the main reason is that there are many emperors who do not follow the rules.

Naturally, the history books cannot guarantee the correctness.

But for the people in the palace, they don't understand Li Shimin's ambitions, so they pay more attention to the Sui Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling then asked aloud: "Your Majesty, what about the national history of the Sui Dynasty?" ”

At this time, everyone's expressions were shocked, how to write about the Sui Dynasty?

And how to write it......

What about those of them who once lived in the Sui Dynasty?

Li Shimin looked around for a week and said: "The Sui Dynasty is very close to our dynasty, and there are even people in high positions in the Sui Dynasty among the prime ministers, so there is no shortage of historical materials in the Sui Dynasty, and it is still the most difficult for the countries of the late Han Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties." ”

Wei Zheng immediately choked back, dragging his voice and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the Sui Dynasty is more important, especially Emperor Yang of Sui, the top priority. ”

People who don't deal with Wei Zheng on weekdays also agree with Wei Zheng's opinion at this moment, the late Han Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties are naturally important, but the Sui Dynasty is the real former dynasty, and their interests are related.

Li Shimin sat up slightly when he heard this, he was sure of one thing, these courtiers of his had forgotten something, his voice was slightly deeper, and he said slowly: "Have you forgotten what the national teacher and I said that day?" ”

Li Shimin had told everyone about setting things right, so he was a little angry now.

Wei Zheng said calmly: "The minister has studied the history books, and the disadvantages of the tyrants of the past dynasties have converged on Emperor Yang of Sui, so Emperor Yang of Sui is the top priority, the so-called bad land does not raise good flowers, and in three hundred years of troubled times, it is not natural to give birth to Emperor Yang of Sui?" ”

Li Shimin understood that the meaning of Wei Zheng's words was that the appearance of Emperor Yang of Sui happened to be in line with every change in the past three hundred years.

This is to turn Emperor Yang of Sui into the embodiment of evil, even Luo Xuanchen is thoughtful, Wei Zheng, this old boy, is really not an ordinary person.

Li Shimin only pondered slightly, and to everyone's surprise, he said to Wei Zheng seriously: "I don't agree. ”

Wei Zheng was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't understand why Li Shimin would disagree, and if he beat Emperor Yang of Sui as a natural evil, wouldn't he be able to establish Li Shimin's innate heroism as a person of the Apocalypse?

The ultimate light needs darkness.

The pinnacle of the Holy King needs the most tyrannical Dumb King to match.

And what Yang Guang did didn't even need to add oil and vinegar.

Li Shimin said with deep emotion: "Why did I refuse?

Because it is not true, Yang Guang's evil is difficult to write, and I am deeply afraid of it, but I still have to look at him with a normal heart.

Is it just that he was born to do evil that can be explained?

No.

He has been very good since he was a child, he is the best prince of Emperor Wen of Sui, and he has all kinds of achievements, but he was lost in the last day because he lost his awe.

He thinks that he is the Son of Heaven, so he can take what he wants, and he sees life and death in the world as nothing.

If everything is attributed to the Mandate of Heaven, then I have received the Apocalypse of King Su, in history, who else but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has such grace?

Can I do everything well, just sit in the palace and watch the world rule? ”

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "No."

The national teacher once told me the story of Yin Shang, who obeyed ghosts and gods in everything, but in the end he lost the country, King Su listened to the voice of people, and Bang Zhou prospered.

King Su gave me the Apocalypse, isn't it because my heart has always pretended to be the people of the world?

This destiny is the will of the people.

Emperor Yang of Sui failed because he lost the hearts of the people, and I got the world because I won the hearts of the people, that's all.

What is the use of repairing the history books of the Sui Dynasty and writing those mandates of heaven?

It is necessary to write more about the vain death of loyal ministers, more about the courage of the people, more about the mediocrity of Emperor Yang, more about the destruction of the people's families, and about those sacrifices.

This is the Sui Dynasty.

I grew up in the Great Cause years, and what I saw and saw was such a scene, and I had to write directly, without any hidden penmanship for His Holiness.

I am going to die after all, and after I die, will King Su send down the apocalypse again?

Probably not.

When that day comes, how can future kings get anything useful from the history books?

Do you understand? ”

After Wei Zheng sat down, he had a thoughtful look on his face, and the longer he spent with Li Shimin, the more he realized that Li Shimin was different from those he had served.

This supreme in the world is almost harsh on himself.

It is all too rare for a supreme king to be able to do this.

Wei Zheng didn't know how long Li Shimin could hold out, but he believed that a person like Li Shimin, even if he was a little indulgent, his lower limit was an upper limit that ordinary kings could hardly reach.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth raised a slight smile, and it was not easy to refute this group of people in terms of reason.

Luo Xuanchen sat down, and his heart couldn't help but fluctuate, recalling what his ancestor had said to him before.

In Luo's family, there is an artifact, which is the history of Qingshi, this artifact has a lot of loss of luck, and it stands to reason that it should not be used in the current situation of Luo's, but there are priorities, and it is a big thing to compile the history of the country, set the past mistakes right, and reverse the mistakes in history, so this situation should not save luck.

And now Luo's has found the right way to obtain luck, so as long as he is on this road, he can run all the way.

Luo Xuanchen saw that no one made a sound, so he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has something important to report." ”

Li Shimin said: "Aiqing's words are okay. ”

Luo Xuanchen then condensed and said: "Your Majesty hopes that this compilation of the history books of the late Han Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Sui Dynasty will be truthful.

is not false beauty, does not hide evil, writes straightforwardly, and even breaks the delusion of history and removes the obstacles of history.

Since this is the case, the minister recommended several people to His Majesty, all of whom were the minister's sisters, such as Luozhou Thorn Shi Luo Xuanjing.

The daughter of the Luo family in the courtiers has the knowledge of Wenhua, is familiar with the classics of historical books, has profound pen skills, and writes good history, which is ordinary.

The most important thing is that the women of the Luo clan have served the emperor Su Wang for generations, and since the ancestor of Luoshen, she has been the hereditary high priest in the Luo clan for thousands of years.

Under the protection of King Su, there is the light of the Luo Shen spirit, the ability to penetrate, and the secrets of history, they can roughly perceive each other, and they are really indispensable people for cultivating history.

Your Majesty has received the Apocalypse, so the ministers recommend to Your Majesty the people of the Apocalypse in our clan. ”

Yes?

The temple fell silent.

Li Shimin was a little confused, thinking that he had misheard.

Luo Xuanchen's subordinates also thought that they had misheard, look at each other, look at me, I look at you, a few people opened their mouths, but no one spoke.

At this moment, everyone recalled the scene when Li Shimin sacrificed to King Su and got the apocalypse.

Only Luo Xuanye sat in the first position on his left hand, the old god was at ease, and even picked up the teacup and tasted the tea slowly.

Li Shimin came back to his senses, immediately looked at Luo Xuanye, and asked with some kind of mentality: "Qingyang, what do you think of what the official Shangshu said just now?" ”

Luo Xuanye put down the teacup, clenched his fists and said seriously: "Your Majesty, what the fourth brother of the minister said is true.

You are the king of the Apocalypse, born different, and who else can make this magnificent cause not by you?

If Your Majesty is not at ease, you can ask the ancestor, but presumably what the fourth brother said is what the ancestor once mentioned. ”

Luo Xuanye's words made Li Shimin's heart completely uproar.

Luo Xuanchen may fool him about this, but Luo Xuanye will not do this, that is to say, this matter is true!

Luo's woman can record the most authentic history.

Li Shimin stood up abruptly and walked down the throne quickly, and the sound of him stepping the floor came from the Taiji Hall.

"Qingyang, do you think I can repair the history of the Wude Dynasty?"

Li Shimin's voice reached the ears of everyone in the hall, and the hall fell into silence again.

The eldest grandson Wuji almost immediately shouted: "Your Majesty! No!

This matter of the Wude Dynasty, in the Tang Dynasty's entrepreneurial living note, in the Taishang Emperor's living note, where can the official history be written now? ”

Luo Xuanye knew what Li Shimin wanted to say, he looked at Li Shimin's back with his back to everyone, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Xuanwu Sect will record it truthfully, no matter who records it, it will be the case." ”

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't hide it in the slightest, let everyone in future generations know about it." ”

Luo Xuanye said again: "The minister is also in this matter, I just feel that there is nothing to hide, King Su is in charge of Cai, and His Majesty is in charge of Yuanji, this is the same reason."

However, what the right servant said makes sense, the matter of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to write out the official history now, the minister has a proposal, since ancient times, because the historian is a man, so there have not been many records in the harem, and even the children of the royal family have many fallacies, if you set up a female history in the palace, this position can be held by Luo's daughter. ”

Li Shimin waved his hand in agreement.

He stopped talking.

He walked all the way to the end of the main hall and looked at the bright light outside, shining directly on his body, like a layer of golden armor.

His face reflected the glow of the great sun.

There is a bright current surging in the eyes.

I, Li Shimin, am truly a blessed king.

Everyone is waiting for Li Shimin's answer on whether or not he wants Luo's female editor to edit history.

Li Shimin just stood like this, it seemed that after a long time, the light and shadow of the sun on the ground deflected a few points, and he finally turned around slowly and faced the prime ministers, "Reading history makes people wise.

I like to say that the majestic mountains will eventually collapse, the rivers will eventually dry up, the stones will rot, and the Tang Dynasty will perish, what will last forever in this world?

I've never heard of anything like this!

Perhaps there are only words, only the wisdom and truth recorded in the words, and the lessons of blood and tears, which will be remembered by future generations.

Now that I am in this position, perhaps this is my mission, to write those true and beautiful histories. ”

Li Shimin made his own choice, and all the prime ministers bowed down in unison and said: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

Li Shimin took a few steps forward and said: "Spread my will, with the Lady of Chu State, the Kaifu Yi and the Three Divisions, the Shangshu of the School Rite Department, and the Suzhou Thorn Shi Luo Xuanjing, enter the Hongwen Museum, and edit the history of the country since the end of the Han Dynasty, Wei Zheng, Chu Suiliang, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Luo Xuanchen, etc. ”

What an honor it is to enter the Hongwen Museum to compile the history of the country and rank first among the Tang scholars!

Luo Xuanye bowed down and clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Treat your sister to Your Majesty Xie's trust." ”

Li Shimin nodded, he raised his feet and walked out of the Taiji Hall, the sun that disappeared from the hall just now shone on his body again, and the warm feeling came back.

The buildings in the palace are magnificent, and Li Shimin has countless things to say in his heart.

————

Xuanjing was ordered to compile the history of the letter since the end of the Han Dynasty, and the book was completed, and the emperor read it, and Xuanjing said: "This book is humane through the way of heaven, and the way of the people is the way of the people." ”

Taizong praised: "The first good history of the Han Dynasty, Qing has the style of Taishi."

Xuanjing said: "But the luck of inheriting the ancestors, the faith of the inheritance, is just a success." —— "Tang Shu: The Biography of Zhuluo Women"
