History books are always mixed with personal feelings.
But the so-called justice is that if a general kills ten thousand enemies, it cannot be counted as nine thousand; if the enemy gets lost and the army is defeated, it cannot be counted as a victory; if tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand people join the battle, fighting fiercely for several days, killing ten enemy soldiers A few people, this is the injustice of history books and has become a joke.
Sima Qian's history will naturally be mixed with personal emotions, and will be greatly biased towards the ideology represented by Luo Shi, using excellent writing skills to elevate the image of certain people and events, but he cannot write blindly.
Even if it is not written, there should not be a single lie in the history books!
This is Sima Qian's ethics as a historian.
Luo Qing immediately said: "Just like what King Su did, bury them in the dust of history, only reflect them separately in certain books, and then put them away in a high cabinet and do not spread them to the most ordinary people. "
Sima Qian nodded slowly and said, "When can it be decrypted?"
Luo Qing put his hands behind his hands and looked at the utensils in the room, and said calmly: "Wait until the people of the world can accept it.
Until these horrors never come back.
Wait until the ghosts and gods are completely defeated by humans.
Wait until the world no longer believes in these things.
It’s time for all the truth to reappear. "
No one can guarantee whether these things will be spread again once they appear. People's worship of sacrifices comes from the bottom of their hearts.
This set of human sacrifices in the Shang Dynasty sounds extremely terrifying, but only terror can become popular on a large scale and make the group fall into deep belief.
What will be the consequences once this information is made public?
I met some weird emperors and some evil alchemists who said that human sacrifice can lead to immortality and that human sacrifice can become gods after death. This is how the emperor of the Shang Dynasty became the emperor. What will the emperor do? Come on, basically no guesswork required.
In troubled times, when order is chaotic, the Shang Dynasty's belief in human sacrifice is a natural breeding ground for cults. If a six-hundred-year-old dynasty endorses human sacrifice, the consequences will be extremely horrific.
Sima Qian let out a long sigh after hearing this, and sighed: "Young Master, you are right, this is probably the only way.
Qian Hui uses the pen in his hand to make people ignore these terrible things without changing the history of the Shang Dynasty. Shang Tang is still the holy king who overthrew Xia Jie, and Shang Zhou is still the only man. Everyone in the world is against him. God He abandoned him and chose King Wu to come to the world to defeat him.
But how should King Su record it?
King Su is like heaven! "
King Wu is the son of Haotian, and King Su and Haotian are one and the same. The final result is that the elder brother is my eldest nephew?
Luo Bai pondered slightly and said: "Suwang and Shanghuangtian are still different. The things in the human world return to the human world, and the things in the heaven return to the heaven. Just write them according to the saints."
Sima Qian nodded to indicate that he understood. He just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
Everywhere my eyes fell on every artifact, I felt that thousands of years ago, merchants were wielding bronze swords and bronze hammers, smashing the sacrifices into meat paste, and then sharing the food with each other.
A strong smell of blood reached Sima Qian's nose across a thousand years of time and space, making him feel like nauseous and vomiting.
The shadow caused by this place was too great for him. He always thought that the three generations of rule were like the Zhou Dynasty, which ruled the world by establishing a whole set of civilizations. Unexpectedly, the Shang Dynasty relied on terror to maintain its rule.
Standing under the sun again, even though the surrounding wind was still biting, Sima Qian felt a warmth spread to his body from all directions, and his previously pale face became rosy.
He turned around and glanced behind him, feeling frightened.
After visiting the storage room, Sima Qian was sent to live in the outer city and given a few days to prepare, while Luo Qing started busy preparing a large compilation team.
About five days later, Luo Qing took Sima Qian to a main hall.
This palace is located in the outer city. Because the inner city cannot build such a large palace, the appearance of the palace is very magnificent, and the various decorations on it are also full of Luo's style.
The mural style inherited from the ancient Zhou Dynasty, as well as various totems and stories of sages, and various phoenixes are all engraved on the pillars, in the murals, and on the roof.
There were about five hundred people sitting neatly in the hall, both men and women. Because the men in Zhaocheng preferred brave warriors, there were more women here than women, accounting for about 70%.
Both men and women are mostly between thirty and fifty years old. Everyone is meticulously dressed. There are thick calluses on the slender fingers. It can be seen that they are caused by holding pens for many years. Even the expressions on their faces are similar. .
There were so many people sitting in the hall, but they didn't make any sound, only the sound of books being turned over. For them, knowledge is everything, and the family has assessments for people like them.
Although the family will support them and support them even if they are not reused, for these people, becoming a rice insect waiting to die is the most shameful and unacceptable thing.
As soon as Sima Qian entered the palace, he was shocked by the academic atmosphere that filled the palace. He couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Master, are these?"
What he actually guessed was that these were probably the people Luo had found for him to cooperate with him in completing the history book.
But the moment he saw these people, Sima Qian suddenly doubted whether he could do it. These people seemed to be much stronger than him.
If Luo Qing knew what Sima Qian was thinking, he would probably laugh out loud.
Learning and innovation are different, and talents created through hard study are also different from natural genius. Not everyone can possess Sima Qian's talent.
Luo Minggong wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Governing Chapter. Until Confucius appeared, no other person in the Luo family could write a Spring and Autumn Period that was not inferior to the Governing Chapter. In the end, it was Confucius who wrote Zun Wang.
This is what the genius brings. It can make the written words come alive and make people feel the same.
Luo Qing clapped his hands vigorously. Everyone in the palace turned their eyes to Luo Qing.
Luo Qing straightened his clothes, his face was solemn, and then he bowed deeply. He prostrated himself so deeply that he almost reached the limit of his body, showing his respect, "Gentlemen, I am polite to you."
Then everyone bowed in return, and the voices that echoed throughout the hall said in unison: "Young Master is well."
Luo Qing straightened up and said loudly: "Dear clansmen, this is Grand Historian.
The purpose of calling you all together is to compile a huge history book. Tai Shigong is a man of great talent, and Tai Shigong will be responsible for the subsequent history books to be compiled.
In the next few years or even ten years, you will obey Tai Shigong and complete the compilation of history books. This is the family's great undertaking, and it will be left to you! "
The palace was very quiet, and everyone turned their attention to Sima Qian, with curiosity and inquiry in their eyes.
This kind of thing doesn't happen often among the Luo clan. Those who do this all the time become saints and sons in the end.
Will the majestic-looking man in front of me be next?
No one has questioned it yet. There has never been any problem with the host's choice. Moreover, they will stay together for several years. If it is really a soft-footed shrimp, it will be obvious sooner or later.
No one can deceive Luo Shi, and no one can escape unscathed after deceiving Luo Shi.
Luo Qing stepped aside, and Sima Qian thought about what he should say, then took out the plans he had made in the past few days, and said loudly: "You are all outstanding people of the Luo family. There is probably no need to say more. I will make a plan for the future." Let’s talk about what we need to do for now.”
There was a smile of praise on Luo Qing Wenyan's face. Sometimes the key to solving a problem is not solving it, but whether it can raise new questions.
When neither party is familiar with each other, if Sima Qian says something impassioned, it will only make people feel flashy.
At this time, directly throw out the problems that may be encountered in the future and let people think about it. If they can't think about it, they will naturally feel admiration for the person who asked the question, because people instinctively think that the person who asked the question knows the problem. Answer.
Sima Qian recalled the books he had seen in the library, and recalled the tossing and turning in the guest house these days. The ceremony he had conceived in his mind, he said loudly: "Gentlemen, this history book I want to create, It should be practiced starting from the Five Emperors in ancient times and continuing until the Emperor of Yuan Dynasty was granted the title.
The construction of this history book is mainly divided into..."
Sima Qian reorganized the catalog of the canons that he had perfected over the years. After all, it was just him before, but now with Luo's support, many people and countries who could write or not would write.
The number of volumes of this era will increase, and the number of volumes of aristocratic families will also be greatly increased, as well as various biographies. Previously, we only planned to build biographies such as assassins, cargo traders, and strange women, but now it seems that various biographies can be added .
There are also many characters that were not originally intended to be written about. Characters that previously only appeared in other people's biographies can now be written about, even in joint biographies.
This history book will become richer from a brief introduction to history, and can more comprehensively reflect the characteristics of each period.
As long as this history is written, Sima Qian is willing to die even if he cannot become a saint.
Luo Qing was watching Sima Qian talking, but his clan sister hurriedly came to look for him.
————
There is a saying in history called "Records of the Grand Master". The "Historical Records" displayed in the Royal Museum may not be as large as other canons, but it is already a famous biography among the "canons".
From the fact that the Luo family was able to privately build a grand ceremony of this scale, we can judge that at least in the 18th year of Yuanfeng, the Han Dynasty restored not only agriculture, but also the economic situation of the people, at least commerce, had also returned to a very high level. Degree.
Otherwise, a vassal state like Luo Shi, which relies on commerce for its existence, would not be able to have such strong financial resources to do these cultural modifications. ——"The Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
