"Tai Shigong, Emperor Xiaohui should be disciplined."
Luo Qing looked at Sima Qian seriously and said, "Listen to Qing's words.
What you are writing is a general history, so there should not be any vacant imperial line, because that means that the destiny of heaven is vacant!
Unless it is the weekend or the end of the Qin Dynasty, when the old destiny has perished and the new destiny is still rising, it has not dominated the Xia.
For example, when Qin Shihuang destroyed the Zhou Dynasty and Sheji, and the Qin Dynasty failed to completely conquer the world, it was also like when Qin Shihuang collapsed, the second Hu Hai died, and Emperor Fusu was on the throne.
King Xiang unified Liuhe, and the world became his ministers. The destiny was in the hands of the Han Dynasty.
Empress Gao is regent, and the heroine takes the throne!
After the death of Empress Gao, Emperor Xiaohui took charge, and King Luowen never took over as regent. Emperor Xiaohui had both destiny and real power, so why couldn't he be the ruler?
Emperor Xiaohui has the temple name of Renzong, which was confirmed by King Zhaosheng, King Luowen overcame all opinions, and was recognized by King Su and Emperor Tian. It must be a bad idea for such an emperor to say that he cannot get his own exclusive book.
Your Majesty, please think twice. "
After Luo Qing finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Sima Qian. For Luo, the status of Emperor Xiaohui was very special.
Because of his infinite trust, the second undisputed regent appeared in the family, a false emperor, the kind of false emperor who could depose and establish an emperor!
Moreover, King Luo Wen treated Emperor Xiaohui no less than his own son. If he knew that Emperor Xiaohui lost his own chapter due to his own reasons, King Luo Wen would probably regret it.
As a son of the Luo family, this is what you should do to protect your ancestors!
Sima Qian was silent for a while after hearing this. He was a very smart man and understood the meaning behind Luo Qing's words. He bowed in the direction of Chang'an, because King Luo Wen was not buried in Zhaocheng, but in Chang'an.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Young master, you are right. If a benevolent and righteous Lord like Emperor Xiaohui cannot obtain this book, all future emperors will no longer care about benevolence and righteousness.
Moreover, today's children who are no more than six years old still have basic disciplines. It would be really unfair if Emperor Renzong Hui did not have basic disciplines.
Recording history should not only record contemporary events, but also serve as a lesson to all generations. Qianhui praised Emperor Renzonghui more in this book of Xiaohui.
Qian has a request. King Luo Wen does not have a chronicle. Every time he thinks about it, he feels regretful. Could it be possible to include more about King Luo Wen in the chronicles of Empress Dowager Lu and Xiao Hui?
In the twenty years since the death of Emperor Qian thought Gao, it was really difficult to distinguish between Empress Dowager Lu, Emperor Xiaohui, and King Luo Wen.
Qian thought that this period was really exciting, including Empress Gao, King Luowen, Emperor Xiaohui, and the founding ministers of the Han Dynasty. Qian was not willing to just list the deeds of the time, but wanted to make them as he did in this chronicle of King Xiang. The story here was passed down to later generations.
In this way, Qian can rewrite the many policies and edicts of King Luowen during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen in Dong'ahou Family Ban, mainly recording events. "
Sima Qian wrote history in two styles in parallel.
One is to tell you what happened in such-and-such a month in such-and-such a year, and what the imperial edict was, without remembering the causes and consequences, and only telling you what happened.
The other is to write down everything in detail, not only to write down all the causes and consequences, but also to figure out the psychology of the parties involved, and write down the deeds in a magnificent way while conforming to historical facts.
Although Sima Qian was a man of letters, he had a heroic spirit. The articles he wrote can make people excited when they read them thousands of years later. They can even make people feel infinite goodwill and ill will towards the figure they have never seen before after reading the history book.
This is Sima Qian's ability!
The Luo family naturally couldn't ask for it. King Luo Wen has been the pride of the entire Luo family for thousands of years.
Luo Qing immediately said: "Of course it is possible. If Tai Shigong wants to know more about King Luo Wen's deeds, there is also King Luo Wen's letters among the Luo family."
Sima Qian was very excited when he heard this. The person he admired most in the Han Dynasty was King Luo Wen. In other words, all the top officials in the Han Dynasty worshiped King Luo Wen. Now that he could learn more about King Luo Wen's life, he must come up with it. All the state and energy are devoted to writing down the great achievements of King Luo Wen, so that King Luo Wen can be made flesh and blood and become the embodiment of all beautiful and righteous virtues.
Seeing this, Luo Qing smiled again and said: "Tai Shigong, among the history books you have written, the Han Dynasty chapter, the Luo family will donate a copy to the Han Dynasty court, so that the Dukes and the royal family can see it. In the history of Qing Dynasty, Please take a look at the faces of the past emperors and the faces of all the heroes to encourage you."
Sima Qian took a deep breath after hearing this. History books will eventually be published, and this is no small matter.
Because although Sima Qian was tabooed by the Venerable, he did not compile it for the Venerable. Although the wrong things were obscure, they were all written clearly.
In particular, there is a summary evaluation text at the end of each biography.
If this were a king like Qin Shihuang who was unwilling to let his ministers evaluate him, Sima Qian would not be able to kill him even if he had ten lives.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty could accept criticism from his ministers. Even if he became angry, he would not be like some dynasties who imprisoned and exterminated the nine tribes because of some specious remarks.
Sima Qian was wondering how the royal family would view the Sima family?
Another example is the various aristocratic families written by Sima Qian. Nearly half of them are now the top princes of the Han Dynasty, and they all have descendants. How will they treat their ancestors in the history books?
In the history of Ji Zhao's previous life, this historical record can be said to have a fateful fate, because it records a large number of private matters in the court, and is contrary to the mainstream ideology of the Han Dynasty, so the court does not allow it to be published, even those The princes and kings were not allowed to ask for anything they wanted.
Later, Sima Qian's grandson began to spread it to the outside world, but he died soon, so the scope of spread was very small. Until the Eastern Han Dynasty, this historical record had a troubled life, and it was not allowed to spread until many words were deleted.
This is what Sima Qian is worried about. This is not only an honor, but also a disaster. This is a disaster that can destroy the entire family.
He wrote this history book before because his duty as a historian drove him.
Even in the Bangzhou era, Luo protected the historians of all countries in the world, but it only protected the historians from being changed, but it could not protect the safety of the historians themselves.
This was even more true in the Han Dynasty.
Of course Luo Qing understood all this, he patted Sima Qian on the shoulder and said: "Tai Shigong, this history book was certified and proofread by Luo Shi, and the evaluation of all characters in it is fair.
If anyone is dissatisfied, let him come to Luo Shi, and Luo Shi promises to persuade him. "
Luo Shi dares to face all revenge in this world. Even if anyone is dissatisfied with what is recorded in this history book, he can only hold it in and watch helplessly as Luo Shi spreads these books so that everyone in the world knows about it. .
Sima Qian bowed and said: "I'll excuse you, young master. Qian will go and recite the deeds of King Luo Wen and write out the annals of Emperor Xiaohui as soon as possible. Qian is very curious as to why Emperor Xiaohui and Empress Gao trusted King Luo Wen so much." .
The fog of Qing history may be found in King Luo Wen’s notes and letters. "
Luo Qing asked Sima Qian to be taken away. Looking at Sima Qian's leaving figure, he didn't know for a moment whether this was the right thing to do. The letters and letters that could be disclosed to Sima Qian were of course official and truly personal letters. Even Luo's own descendants don't look at it.
Although King Luo Wen shouldn't care too much, it is a private matter after all. Especially for King Luo Wen, a special ancestor who devoted his whole life to the Han Dynasty, the Luo family knows some things.
Luo Bai smiled beside him and said, "Ah Qing, Tai Shigong is a human being after all. We can't persuade him, but you changed his mind as soon as you came."
Luo Qing shook his head and said: "Who in this world can have no bias? It was because of Taishi Zhengyi's strong emotions that he could write such words and make this history book the best in the world.
Next year is the time for the princes from all over the world to go to Chang'an to meet the emperor. Qing is planning to bring all the Han Dynasty chapters of "Zhu Xia Tong Shi Ji" to Chang'an at that time, and present them as tributes at the ceremony to meet the emperor. At that time, the emperor will They all looked at how their ancestors were recorded in history books. "
Luo Bai couldn't help but laugh when he thought about that scene. He thought again and couldn't help laughing and said: "The emperor and the Duke of Manchao must have praised me, what else can they say?
Are you saying that the history books recorded by Luo Shi are wrong?
Or is there something unfair in the history books and evaluations recorded by Luo Shi? "
This is Luo's Achilles' heel. History has never been a formal subject, especially after the rise of Confucian classics. As the leader of history, "Luo Gong Chun Qiu" should have been a classic for historians, but this book is actually It became a classic of Confucian classics.
This book is completely beyond the scope of history. It contains countless thoughts of the two saints Luo Kong. Now Sima Qian's book is the real historian classic, especially the comments on the characters at the end. This is the reason for the posthumous title. The effect is greatly magnified.
Luo felt that this was really amazing. Even people who were not familiar with history would know what this person was like as long as they saw the ending!
————
When the princes came to Changle, Duke Zhao's son Qing presented a classic book called "Zhu Xia Tong Shi Ji". Qing said: "This Tai Shi Gong wrote it to study the relationship between heaven and man and to understand the changes in the past and the present. It is appropriate to present it to the emperor and publish it all over the world. People know it, praise the merits, belittle the ugliness, make the living alert, and make the dead rest in peace.”
Qing's contribution is only the Han chapter, which records the major events of one hundred and fifty years from Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, to Lingjue for five years.
The Prime Minister praised: "Tai Shigong has the beauty of the ancient history. He is good at explaining things, distinguishing but not flashy, quality but not slang. His writing is straight to the core of the matter, without false beauty, without hiding evil. It is interesting to read it, but It can be said to be a true record, and it is truly amazing.”
The emperor also sighed and said: "Gao Hui's civil and military propaganda, the Five Saint Kings of the Han family, will be passed down to future generations."
The princes and princes were all in awe.
There is a folk proverb: "The emperor is born in glory during his lifetime, and he will belong to the Luo family for the rest of his life." - "Miscellaneous Notes of Taixue Xianren"
