Because what historians record greatly affects future generations' evaluation of them. Although the integrity of historians in this era is still very guaranteed, they will not write random records at all. They usually write whatever is available, and at most they will write some personal evaluations. , won’t mess around.
However, the classics that have been handed down for nearly a thousand years have made those in the upper class who have access to history feel awe of historians. On the one hand, they hope that these people will be upright and record everything truthfully. On the other hand, they hope that these people can Make your writing more glorious.
This way of thinking makes these people a little awed by historians. In the past, Liu Bei didn't know who the collector of historical materials was, so it didn't matter. But then he found out that the minister he relied on was actually a recorder. To be honest, Liu Bei's heart was a little trembling. , even when he turned around to face Xun Yue, he felt a little unnatural. This was really scary, and there was nothing I could do about it.
In the era after that, historians were tortured in various ways. The integrity of historians in this era was still very strong. In addition, there were historians like Dong Hu who recorded Zhao Dun's regicide in front of Zhao Dun. In the future, you will still mess with me. , I also record this guy.
So much so that the necks of the historians of this era are getting harder and harder. They want to chop me off. This is how I record things. If you think there is something wrong, who do you think you are?
This kind of perversion of straight-laced writing makes those with higher official positions more cautious, because if there is this group of people, once they mess up, then it will not be the people of this era who will be scolded, but all the people in the future. It's really embarrassing to hang on the pillar of shame for a thousand years or something.
Of course, Liu Bei was also worried about this matter, so he told Chen Xi bluntly and asked Chen Xi to clear the level. Although Liu Bei didn't think it could be completely cleared, wouldn't it be okay to let the historian record the facts and maintain the pen twice at the same time?
Historians have integrity and will definitely record what should be recorded. If you ask them to write falsehoods, they will definitely not be willing to do so, but it should be okay to maintain the curve. Chen Xi has mixed up to this extent and shows his face without saying anything. If you visit these houses, the other party should understand.
"Let them record it, it's not a problem." Chen Xi said indifferently, Qubi defended it, quit it, the people of the world were so miserably hacked, except for killing their brothers and imprisoning their fathers, wasn't it just because they wanted to see the historian? Notes about your daily life?
The first time I wanted to see this thing, Fang Xuanling said, "Emperors have never read the history of the country since ancient times." Then Shimin ran away decisively. It was really embarrassing.
But once this kind of thing came up in my mind, I couldn't control it. After a year or two, the people of the world wanted to see it again. This time a bunch of ministers warned that this thing "doesn't have false beauty or hidden evil". When you see it, you feel unhappy, and if you feel unhappy, you want to change it, but you can’t change it, so you understand.
After Shimin was pushed back again, he became even more unwilling. After a while, he did another big thing and asked about it again. In short, he just wanted to see the actual records and pay attention to these things in his daily life, and this time the reason was extremely good. He said that he is broad-minded and fat, and he is not comparable to the other trash fishes in the past. Don’t worry, I will just take a look and don’t move around.
This time it was directly rejected by all the ministers. It basically means that if you say you are lenient and fat, you will be lenient and fat. This kind of thing is not your problem alone. You will not change it after reading it, but as long as you read it, the people behind will also It depends on what to do. If you say you won’t change, what will you do if the bastard behind you wants to change?
Shimin almost choked to death. He had never seen such a beastly way of trolling people. Wei Zheng, you wait, Wei Zheng died later. In the same year, Shimin finally got the daily notes and records. Although the historical records said that Fang Xuanling had no choice but to agree. Together with Xu Jingzong, he deleted the "Notes on Living Life" and classified it as "Records of Gaozu" and "Records of Jinshang", and then submitted them to Li Shimin.
But there is one thing to say here. Judging from the current comparison results of various historical materials, Shimin probably did not change the history books. At most, they just looked at them, and what they saw were not daily notes. However, this move has left a mark on future generations. A big hole.
That's what Wei Zheng said to the people back then. You kill your brothers and kill your brothers for fun. Of course you don't care about these details. Moreover, your achievements and territory exploded. You have perfectly inherited the pioneering ideas of the ancestors of the Han Dynasty. Even if you don't read this. Shit, those who write history will also help you with your writing. After all, to tell the truth, Shimin did a very good job during the Zhenguan Dynasty.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with historians helping to beautify the facts when recording them, but the biggest problem is that Shimin read the daily notes, so that the history of the latter aspect is completely ruined. Wei Zheng is a good troll. , and it is indeed capable of preventing subtle changes. What happened next was exactly as this guy expected.
Since the time of the people, it has often happened that the emperor got involved in the history of the country. When he defeated the Song Dynasty, Song Taizong directly ordered the daily notes recorded by the political affairs minister to be sent to the emperor for review first, so you know, Li Er himself should This thing has not been changed, but Li Er's actions have indeed caused great harm.
Chen Xi is very aware of the hidden dangers that this kind of thing may cause, so for Chen Xi, it is better than a dead pig that is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Anyway, even if he doesn't brush his face, the other party will definitely beautify it, so as not to dig holes for future generations. If he changes his face, Chen Xi couldn't afford to leave this kind of thing on Chen Xi's head.
In all likelihood, Shimin didn't touch the history books, he really just looked at them, and in the end they were hacked and turned into dogs. If Chen Xi went to brush his face and begged for mercy, he would be setting a precedent.
Liu Bei looked at the envelope and then at Chen Xi. He knew that Chen Xi was also a typical example of being soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Now that he had spoken, he would definitely not do it.
"Let the historians write straightly. It took a thousand years for a rule to be formed. It would be a pity if it was broken like this. Let them write it!" Chen Xi showed a rare dignity.
"Then write it, but considering their achievements over the years, maybe they will help maintain it." Liu Bei sighed. He actually didn't tend to change this thing, but Chen Xi went too far. I don’t know how to record Chen Xi’s incident. Is it possible to write about Cai’s son-in-law? This is the rhythm of dark history.
"Whatever, I can't see it anyway." Chen Xi said angrily, write whatever you like, it is true that historians will conceal it for the venerable, but this concealment will not completely cover up the facts, as long as it is done seriously If you read history, you can actually understand its meaning.
The simplest is the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, in which Wei is the orthodox, because only the Wei is orthodox, and Jin and Cai, who inherited the Zen throne, are orthodox. There is such a logic in it, and in order to maintain this logic, some strange records will appear.
For example, the second master’s record is second only to Megatron China, that is, Juebei Road. The records of Wei State are as follows:
Xu Huang and Man Chong attacked Guan Yu in Hanjin, and attacked Zhou Yu in Jiangling with Cao Ren - "Three Kingdoms? Biography of Xu Huang";
Wenpin and Lejin attacked Guan Yu at Xunkou, attacked Yu's baggage at Hanjin, and burned his ships at Jingcheng - "Three Kingdoms? Wenpin Biography";
Yue Jin stayed in Xiangyang, attacked Guan Yu, Su Fei, etc., but all fled - "Three Kingdoms? Biography of Yue Jin";
When Guan Yu cut off the northern route, Li Tong led his troops to attack him. He dismounted his horse and drew the antlers of the antlers and marched forward to meet the benevolent army - "Three Kingdoms? Li Tong's Biography";
It felt like Guan Yu was being beaten the whole time. In fact, so many wars took place in less than a year. It seemed like Guan Yu was being beaten the whole time. In fact, from another perspective, Guan Yu was so awesome. He picked it all by himself. All reinforcements from Wei State.
Think about it, how can a legion fight against an enemy force that is more than ten times larger than its own? It can only explain one situation. The enemy force that is more than ten times larger than its own cannot defeat Guan Yu. There was no problem, and after adding battlefield time, it became clear that Guan Yu was stalling for time, and more importantly, he accomplished the strategic goal.
As for the group of guys who won the battle above, to be honest, they were just trying to save face. Those who read carefully will understand what the hell this is.
Guan Yu only has 2,000 men. Unless these 2,000 men are an army of the undead, they would have been doomed long ago if they fought repeatedly. How could they fight against so many people and hold them back?
When it comes to history, sometimes it’s not that the historians didn’t record it correctly, but that there’s something wrong with the angle you look at it. If you just think about Guan Yu’s defeat in every battle, why should he be considered a famous general? The problem is that you need to think about this kind of savings from another angle. Two thousand The human legions held back Wei's reinforcements, which were more than ten times their size, and fought for a year, leaving the legions led by Wei's famous generals unable to come.
This is no longer cheating, this is the rhythm of asking the GM to step down and fight on his behalf. This is why the history books only ridiculed the famous Shu general Wei Yu. In fact, Guan Yu went in the direction of cheating in the later period. They all say that the loss of Jingzhou belongs to Guan Yu. Pot, the problem is that if you read the novel, you can feel how desperate Guan Yu was at that time.
The situation at that time can be said that except for the famous generals of the Kingdom of Shu, all the generals and divisions with names and surnames alive at that time gathered together, just like fighting a boss. The book gathered most of the named and surnamed characters in this game. This was accomplished with the backstab trick, and Guan Yu almost became a god.
It may seem that Guan Yu lost quickly when he lost Jingzhou, but in fact Guan Yu had already cheated. After Jingzhou was captured, the people from Wei and Wu tried their best to defeat them, but Guan Yu turned around and still wanted to go. To engage in the Kingdom of Wu, it means that Guan Yu still had fighting ability at that time...
The intensity of this boss felt to be beyond the limit. The way he defeated Guan Yu was no different from the way Han Xin used to deal with the Overlord. He was surrounded by enemies on all sides and wrote a letter from Hongyan’s family. In this way, the second master Guan still found a way out. If this was written from the perspective of the Shu Kingdom If so, he is another Chu Overlord.
This is why in the early Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu was the one who promoted bravery, and after Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was Er Ye, because the two ended up with the same style of painting, but the perspective of writing history was different.
