Chapter Ninety-Nine: Revision of History

At the end of the day, Emperor Wu of Zhou woke up on time. As soon as he got up, Sun Kui walked in with Sun Doudou hunched over.

Sun Kui and Sun Doudou first saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou, and then asked with concern: "Your Majesty, did you sleep well last night?" ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou stood beside the dragon bed and opened his hands for Sun Kui to change his clothes. At this time, Sun Doudou picked up a cup of tea and fed it to Emperor Wu Zhou's mouth. Emperor Wu of Zhou lowered his head and took a few sips of tea and rinsed his mouth.

"Slept well."

Sun Kui changed his shirt for Emperor Wu of Zhou, and Sun Doudou knelt on the ground to change his pants for Emperor Wu of Zhou.

"Your Majesty, every time you go to the Kunde Palace, you will sleep well, even if you don't sleep in the Kunde Palace." Sun Kui said, "Your appetite has also improved a lot last night, and Zhaoyi Niangniang is still capable." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou said softly: "The dishes she makes are very suitable for my appetite. ”

"Your Majesty, you ate and slept well in the Kunde Palace, why don't you go to the Kunde Hall more?" Sun Kui, as Emperor Wu of Zhou's personal eunuch, naturally hoped that Emperor Wu of Zhou could eat and sleep well every day.

Emperor Wu of Zhou also wanted to go every day, but he couldn't.

"Am I that idle?"

Hearing that Emperor Wu Zhou's tone changed, Sun Kui's heart trembled, and he immediately raised his hand and slapped himself: "The slave has many mouths, and the emperor forgives the sin." ”

"Alright, I don't blame you." Emperor Wu of Zhou had already changed into a dragon robe, so he went to the side hall next door to freshen up.

When Emperor Wu of Zhou freshened up, breakfast had been set up in the dining room.

Emperor Wu of Zhou's breakfast was very simple, porridge, baked cakes, steamed buns and other very common foods.

After breakfast, almost when it was almost time, Emperor Wu of Zhou went to the Chengguang Hall unhurriedly.

Emperor Wu of Zhou said lazily as he walked: "It's still a little early in the morning of Chenshi, it should be postponed a little, and the four quarters of Chenshi are just right." ”

Sun Kui, who was walking behind Emperor Wu of Zhou, said: "Your Majesty, if you really postpone the early dynasty to four o'clock in the morning, the ministers will talk about you again." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou sneered and said, "Are I afraid that they will say it? Am I being told less by them? "When Emperor Wu of Zhou was still the crown prince, the ministers did not participate in him. When he became emperor, the ministers still didn't talk much about him. He is like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and let the ministers speak. "I postponed the morning dynasty to four o'clock in the morning, and it is also for their benefit, so that they can sleep a little more on weekdays, but I am thinking about them."

Sun Kui said silently in his heart: Your Majesty, you just want to sleep for a while.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to change the morning hour to four quarters?" If it is really changed to four o'clock in the hour, they can sleep a little longer as slaves and maids, but the time for the emperor to approve the recital will also be postponed. "Your Majesty, won't you sleep until after the hour of your child at night?"

"Well, forget it." Emperor Wu of Zhou sighed faintly, "It would be nice if the eldest brother was still alive." "The eldest brother is still alive, so he doesn't have to be the emperor of this Laoshizi, and he gets up early every day and is busy at night.

As soon as Sun Kui heard this, he knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou was disliking himself as emperor again.

Alas, the crown prince and the acting king scrambled for ...... As a result, the emperor himself was unwilling to be the emperor.

The emperor is really the first person in the world who is unwilling to be the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yiyong is gone, don't think about it."

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his foot and kicked Sun Kui's buttocks, and scolded: "I just think, can you manage it?" ”

Sun Kui smiled and said, "How dare the slave and maid care about you." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't say anything more, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked into the Chengguang Hall slowly like an old man.

In the main hall, the ministers of civil and military affairs have already lined up.

When Emperor Wu of Zhou sat on the dragon chair, the ministers immediately knelt down and saluted: "See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand very casually, then yawned and said, "Get up." ”

The ministers are accustomed to Emperor Wu of Zhou's appearance, and if Emperor Wu of Zhou gets serious one day, the ministers will feel strange.

"If there's something, let's talk about it." Not long after Emperor Wu of Zhou sat down, his whole body was crooked on the dragon chair.

One after another, the ministers who had something to do came out to talk about things. Every day, there are big and small things. However, confidential matters will not be said in the early court.

After the ministers finished speaking, Emperor Wu of Zhou sat up straight and looked at He Xiang with concern: "He Xiang, I heard that you fainted yesterday, is your body okay?" ”

Thinking of what happened yesterday, He Xiang's face suddenly darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "Emperor Xie cares, and the minister is very good!" "He Xiang always felt that it was Emperor Wu of Zhou who went to Lanyuan Pavilion yesterday to steal his silver-edged tribute.

"You've fainted, why are you okay?" Emperor Wu of Zhou pretended to be concerned and said, "He Xiang, you have to take care of your body, if you have something, what can I do?" ”

He Xiang said expressionlessly: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister is very good!" "As long as the emperor is not angry with him, he can live well.

"If you say that, then I will be relieved." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, stood up and walked to the front, looked at the ministers below and asked, "Do you Aiqing like to read history books?" ”

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who asked this question without a beginning or end were stunned, and immediately said that they liked to watch it.

"Historian."

Suddenly called by Emperor Wu of Zhou, the historian was stunned, and hurriedly came out: "The minister is here." ”

The historian has always had no sense of presence in the court, but today he was suddenly called, and everyone turned their eyes to him, which made the historian not feel nervous, and his body became stiff.

"How many history books are there about the former dynasty and the Zheng dynasty?"

All the ministers present who asked this question were stunned, and they all wondered in their hearts what the emperor was asking for.

The historian replied respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, there are 5,399 volumes of the history books of the previous dynasty, and only 123 volumes of the history books of the Zheng Dynasty. ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou asked again: "Are the history books of the previous dynasty complete?" ”

The historian replied, "Not completely. During the time of Emperor Xia Ling, there was a fire in the palace that burned many historical books. Also, when the rebels broke into the palace, they also burned a lot of history books. ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou nodded and said, "How many history books of the Chen Dynasty remained?" ”

The historian replied, "Less than a hundred volumes." ”

"What about the history books before the Chen Dynasty?"

The historian said: "There are very few. ”

"Few?" Emperor Wu of Zhou said bitterly, "It's really sad. ”

The historian was as grieved as Emperor Wu of Zhou. As a historian, what he cares about most is historical materials.

"You Aiqing just said that you all love to read history books, so how do you feel when you hear what the historian just said?"

"It's a pity."

"Pathetic."

"Heartbreaking."

"You Aiqing should know the importance of history books?" Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "Since the Chen Dynasty, there have been fewer and fewer history books left. ”

"I went back to the emperor because of the war."

"In the later period of the Chen Dynasty, there were many wars, and many history books and books were destroyed in the war."

"The same is true of the Zheng Dynasty."

In the past four to five hundred years, wars have occurred frequently. The Chen and Zheng dynasties were particularly war-torn. The previous dynasty was better, but during the period of Emperor Xia Ling, there were constant wars. Fortunately, no one ruined the history books.

"War is one reason, but the most important reason is because no one has compiled these historical materials into a book for the history books to pass on."

Hearing Emperor Wu of Zhou say this, He Xiang and Taishi Liu instantly understood what he meant.

"I have an idea to let people sort out historical materials and compile them into books, so that they can be passed down from generation to generation, and there will be no disconnection in history." Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at the ministers and said, "What do you think?" ”

The historian said very excitedly: "The emperor is wise! ”

Then He Xiang and Liu Taishi walked out of the column and said supportively: "The emperor is shengming! ”

Seeing that they all agreed, the other ministers naturally would not object. The ministers all know that revising history is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and it is a good thing that will forever go down in history.

"Since all of you Aiqing agree to revise history, who do you think is more appropriate?"

The minister who supported the four princes immediately said that the Li family was the most suitable. During the period of the first emperor, the Li family presided over the revision of the rules of etiquette and music. In this regard, the Li family is very experienced, and it is most suitable for the Li family to repair history.

Of course, the ministers who supported the acting king recommended Kong Taichang to be in charge of presiding over the revision of history.

Kong Taichang and his son felt that their opportunity had come. Father and son glanced at each other, and then they nodded at each other.

Without any hesitation, Kong Taichang walked out of the column, and Mao recommended himself to preside over the revision of history. Then, Kong Yuan came out of the queue and said that he was willing to help Kong Taichang revise history together.

Taichang Cheng and Shaofu Cheng also appeared, expressing their willingness to revise history.

No matter who presides over the revision of history, his name will go down in history.

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at Kong Taichang and them, and then looked at Taichang and them. Immediately, he looked at Taishi Liu, who was standing at the front.

"Master Liu."

"The minister is here."

"You are always responsible for the matter of repairing history. As for the rest of the people who revise history, you can do it. ”

Taishi Liu: "......" He knew that the emperor had thrown the "mess" to him again.

Although revising history is a great thing to leave in history, it is also a troublesome thing. Taishi Liu has never cared about his reputation, let alone whether he will be famous in history.

"Obey."

Whether it is the crown prince's person, or the person acting for the king, or the people of other princes, they all want to arrange their own people to participate in the revision of history.

Next, Taishi Liu did not have a clean life.

Emperor Wu of Zhou saw that the minister was fine, so he asked Sun Kui to announce his retirement from the dynasty.

After the court, He Xiang, Liu Taishi and the historian went to the imperial study.

Revision of history is a major event, and we must first discuss how to repair it, where to repair it, and where to repair it.

Emperor Wu of Zhou meant to first repair and repair from the last few dynasties, and then repair forward.

They naturally agreed.

After discussing how to revise history, He Xiang asked curiously: "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly think of repairing history?" ”

"Xiao Shi said that he likes to read history books, and when he saw that the Zheng Dynasty did not leave many history books, he asked why he didn't sort out the historical materials and then compile them into history books." Emperor Wu of Zhou smiled, "I felt that what he said was right, so I remembered the matter of cultivating history." ”

I didn't expect that the matter of cultivating history was mentioned by His Royal Highness the Tenth, which really surprised He Xiang and them.

Zhao Yao, who was studying in the Wende Palace, sneezed several times in a row.

Emperor Wu of Zhou: Who wants to be an emperor gets up earlier than a chicken and sleeps later than a dog.

Zhao Yao: Both hands and feet are in favor.
