After Wen Qi walked away, Han You suddenly realized something.
I was just thinking about this guy's appearance, and almost ignored his "official position", Si Ye!
Wen Qi looks to be in his mid-twenties, how could he be the Secretary of the Imperial College?
Han You wanted to set up a school before. As a potential rival of the Imperial College, he naturally knew about it, including the many academic officials and officials.
From top to bottom, from the second rank to the fifth rank, there are Jijiu, Siye, Jiancheng, Dianbo, and then a group of doctors who teach.
This means that the person in charge of sacrificial wine is the Imperial College, and the second-in-command is the Siye, who is the third-grade or junior third-grade Siye.
Han You couldn't accept it. He was so young, a third-rank official, and mainly handsome. How did Zhou Ke become the emperor? Did the Zhou Dynasty still have royal laws?
The bell of the Imperial College rang, which meant that there was still a quarter of an hour before the lecture, and the students all walked quickly to the third hall of the Wen Palace.
Han You was a little confused. He gave his student status to Si Ye, so he should have completed the admission procedures, right?
After thinking about it, Han You walked out of the Imperial Academy with his hands behind his back.
Wang Hai and Lu Baichuan were squatting under a tree bragging. When they saw Han You coming back, they stood up.
Lu Baichuan: "It's so fast. When can I enroll in school?"
"I don't know." Han You asked curiously: "I just met a guy inside, calling himself Si Ye. He was quite arrogant."
Wang Hai snorted: "If I dare to call myself Fourth Master in front of you, young master, I will die if I tell him in the morning!"
"It's Si Ye, what fourth master, and..." Han You asked in confusion: "What does it mean to hear that you will die in the morning?"
"In the morning I found out his way home, and in the evening I wanted to kill him!"
Lu Baichuan suddenly realized: "So that's what it means. It makes sense."
Han You: "..."
Lu Baichuan looked at Han You cheerfully: "There are two officials in the Imperial College. If they are arrogant and domineering, they must be the sour scholar from the Ministry of Rites, relying on their age to rely on their old age..."
"No, young man."
"Young?" Lu Baichuan's expression changed and he suddenly became nervous: "Could it be Lord Wen Qiwen? Did you offend him?"
"Yes, it's Wen Qi."
Seeing that Lu Baichuan looked strange, Han You couldn't help but ask: "Is this guy very fierce? What's his background?"
"The grandson of Wen's eldest son!"
"The Wen family?"
Han You thought for a while and found that he had never heard of any aristocratic family in Beijing with the surname Wen.
"You don't even know the Wen family, even His Majesty is afraid of them."
Han You's face was full of teasing.
Should it be said or not, Boss Zhou would be wary of everyone he met, and there was no one he was not wary of.
Wang Hai was suddenly startled: "Could it be the historian Wen family?!"
"Holy shit." Han You was even more surprised than Wang Hai: "Even you know?"
"I know, I know." Wang Hai nodded repeatedly: "Not to mention the little ones, even the master knows it. The historian is not afraid of death. When the master seized the palace, he would hide away when he saw the bastard."
"Are the historians who supervise the compilation of national history so fierce?"
Lu Baichuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. Seeing that Han You didn't understand the Wen family at all, he could only explain.
In Dachuan's words, he would like to call the Wen family the best iron family in the world, and they are not afraid of death in this field. The Wen family dares to claim to be second, and no one dares to claim to be first.
There is an idle yamen in Beijing, the National History Museum, with a total of five people, four of whom are named Wen.
From the beginning of the previous dynasty to the present for more than a hundred years, only the Wen family has written national history. The Wen family's best skill is not writing national history, but giving birth to children.
How ruthless is this Wen family? The founding emperor of the previous Kang Dynasty wanted to read the history of the country written by the Wen family and see how the history of the country evaluated him as an emperor, so he called the Wen family to the palace.
When they met, the emperor said, "Xiao Wen, since ancient times, monarchs, ministers, and anyone are not allowed to interfere with the compilation of national history. I will not embarrass you. I won't change it. Just give me a hug. Just one look. Be good, and I will enter the palace tomorrow." Take a look at what the history of the country says about me. I will reward you with a thousand guans.
The Wen family said happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty. We still need to polish your content. Give us three days and we will enter the palace in three days."
Seeing how sensible the Wen family were, Emperor Longyan was overjoyed.
Then, the Wen family started to act in a showy manner.
There were three days in total. On the first day, in the morning, the Wen family, which was not considered a wealthy family and was very poor, sold their house, and the money gained was distributed to the servants and dismissed. In the afternoon, they went to a brothel to buy girls.
The next day, the girls slept in the morning, one by one, and in the afternoon, they sent out money and asked relatives to escort these girls out of the city.
On the third day, the Wen family wrote the history of the country again, updated the latest chapter, and wrote that the emperor wanted to read the content of the history of the country, and that he almost wanted to change it based on his imitations. He was so beautiful.
On the fourth day, the appointed time came, and the Wen family brought the history of the country to the emperor.
When the emperor looked at him, Long Yan was furious.
Good and bad, everything is written down in detail, very objective.
Objectively speaking, it is mainly about some bad things done by the emperor, which were also recorded by the Wen family.
Seeing that the emperor was angry, the Wen family said, "I know you are angry, but don't be angry first. Don't you just want to kill our nine tribes? Don't be afraid. I will analyze it for you first."
Two days ago, our Wen family slept with eight girls. These eight girls were escorted by servants and left the city anonymously. In time, the eight girls will give birth to descendants of my Wen family. My Wen family has friends all over the world, most of them loyal ministers and righteous men. , under their care, the children will grow up and they will still compile national history, even if it is unofficial history, they will continue to write it. People in the world only recognize the national history written by the Wen family. Just ask if you are angry.
Of course the emperor is angry. Others are guilty of deceiving the emperor. You, the Wen family, are guilty of riding on the emperor. You just ride on my head and play with me. Come on, pull me down and chop me down. Capture other Wen family members and rebel against the party. They are all rebels against the party.
This is the first time that the Wen family has been exterminated.
The first time, but not the last time.
Then, the emperor began to be criticized by scholars and literati. He was embarrassed to say that he was a scholar if he didn't criticize him. Regardless of whether he wanted to criticize him in his heart or not, he had to criticize with his mouth, just to punish the nine members of the Wen family. The achievements of the founding of the country have been stained, all stained.
Then more than ten years later, the emperor was about to die. During this period, he was criticized for more than ten years, and there was no one to serve as the national historian.
The founding emperor was still obsessed with this before he died. The thing he regretted most in his life was killing members of the Wen family in Beijing. He regretted it.
After the prince ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to look for the Wen family. After searching all over the world, he really gained a wave of good connections with scholars and found people.
Originally, this was a good thing. A group of grown-up Wen family members came to Beijing, entered the Chinese embassy and became historians.
As a result, as soon as the history of the country was revised, the second emperor became angry again.
Because the history of the country clearly and clearly records in detail how the emperor's father, that is, the previous emperor, persecuted the Wen family, it is still very objective and does not add jealousy. It just writes what it is.
The second emperor was angry. The Wen family said that they knew you were angry, but you should still not be angry first. We, the Wen family, had already guessed what kind of bear you were, so we slept with many girls before entering the capital, and we remained anonymous. Still traveling to various state capitals, more than ten years later, he continued to write the history of the country.
This made the emperor scream in anger, and the history of the country did not scold him. The problem was that he gave his father a bad meal.
He really didn't expect that the "family inheritance" of the Wen family was so strong, but no one with the surname Wen was afraid of death.
Then the emperor began to consider, should he turn a blind eye and let his father be abused and be abused, or should he kill the Wen family and then be abused for decades?
In the end, the emperor tolerated it, and the Wen family continued to serve as officials of the National History Museum.
Several decades later, there were two emperors, and the Wen family once again let the world know how powerful they were. The most famous one among them was Wen Zheng, who could be said to be famous all over the world.
The emperor who was in power at that time especially favored an official named Ji Ping. He was extremely powerful and could form cliques and eradicate dissidents for personal gain. He himself came from a wealthy family and served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Then the Wen family began to write in the history of the country, how stupid the emperor was and how much he favored Ji Ping.
The emperor must be angry, but there is nothing he can do. After all, his grandfather and ancestors have suffered this loss.
It's hard to be tough when dealing with the Wen family, and they won't accept the soft ones, so let's just play dirty.
Later, the emperor issued an imperial order and asked Wen Zheng, the head of the Wen family at that time, to serve as a supervisor, a supervisor who specialized in offending people.
The emperor wanted to see if the Wen family was so impartial and selfless. If so, he would impeach more than half of the officials in the court. If not, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the hypocrites?
As a result, Wen Zheng was impeached on the first day he took up his new post. Ji Ping was impeached and charged with thirty-seven major and minor crimes. He also said that according to the law, he should be executed in Lingchi.
The emperor was very happy, and the ministers were also very happy. They treated Wen Zheng like a clown because Wen Zheng said something, which roughly meant that he did not report that the time had not come.
No one paid any attention to him, just like watching the fun.
As a result, when going to court and just leaving the palace, Wen Zheng suddenly took out a knife from the sedan chair, a very sharp short knife. He shouted that the law of the country tolerates you, but the law of heaven does not tolerate it. Then he rushed up and puffed, puffed, puffed, all in all. Three knives, one in the throat, one in the chest, and one in the abdomen, all fatal injuries, a common practice in the military.
You must know that Wen Zheng is a scholar. He only weighs about ninety pounds with clothes. He has obviously practiced these three swords dozens or hundreds of times and is quite proficient.
The ministers who left the palace were all frightened, and then Wen Zheng shouted again, "I kill people, kill court officials, it is not allowed by the national law, I deserve death."
As the word "death" fell, Wen Zheng stabbed himself, in the abdomen, and blood flowed all over the floor. He walked towards the palace step by step, shouting as he walked, who is a king and what is a minister? , regardless of their own lives, the guards were so frightened that they did not dare to move. It was not until they were approaching the Taiqian Hall that Wen Zhengcai died of excessive blood loss. When he died, his face was laughing wildly, and it was terrifying.
When the emperor found out, he almost died of anger. He immediately ordered the arrest of the "rebellious members" of the Wen family and demanded the lives of Wen Zheng's four sons.
The imperial guards went, as did the officials, but they were not caught in the Wen family, but in the Ji family.
The four sons entered Ji's mansion on the pretext of visiting Ji Ping's son. After Ji Fu's steward and his direct descendants all arrived, they all slashed with knives, basically wiping out the Ji family.
Not only did he carry a knife, but he also carried a blood letter, which clearly stated who and so-and-so of the Ji family had killed so many people, who was corrupt and violated the law, and who should be punished by the law. In short, as long as the Ji family broke the law, one person Didn't let it go.
This means that all this was planned. Wen Zheng knew from the beginning that the emperor wanted to punish him and let him serve as the supervisor. He also knew that he, the supervisor, could not perform the duties of an official, so he violated The law of the country, take the whole family to violate the law of the country, go kill someone, kill everyone, plead guilty, and be executed!
This incident shocked the country and the world. The Wen family was exterminated for the second time. However, no one in the Wen family relented. Even though many courtiers begged for mercy, they still confessed. Three of their four sons were hacked to death, leaving the youngest. One, only seventeen years old.
After this seventeen-year-old son was released from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the first thing he did was to go to the Ji family's ancestral grave, dig out Ji Ping's body, and then vomit while sleeping, because he wanted to inherit the legacy of his father Wen Zheng, Wen Zheng Zheng said when he died that Ying Lingchi was responsible for Ji Ping's crime. He would do what his father failed to do.
After the corpse was found, the youngest son rode a fast horse to Wen Zheng's friend's home in Xia County. There, four girls were waiting for him to inherit the Wen family, renew their incest, return to Beijing, go to the Ministry of Punishment, plead guilty and be punished.
This is the Wen family. It has been ups and downs for more than a hundred years. It has never become rich or powerful, but it is a family with the straightest backbone. It has never made concessions to anyone, even the emperor. In different periods, the official version is different, but history will always be the same. To rectify its name, the Wen family is a true family inheritance, passed down by fate and passed down by blood.
Until the previous dynasty, even the Yi Sword Guards did not dare to touch the Wen family, because they knew that killing would be meaningless. Write whatever you like. The Wen family has also advanced with the times. On the surface, only those few descendants, privately, Where can a girl sleep down there? There are Wen family members from all walks of life in the world. They may be staying in friends' homes, they may be just traffickers, they may be just ordinary people who hide their names, and there is no way to catch them all.
People even have to doubt that the Wen family has actually died out a long time ago. The Wen family has long become a symbol and a symbol. The Wen family today may not be the descendants of the Wen family at all, but the Wen family in the past has turned countless scholars into Wen family. Family, the Wen family who are not afraid of power and not afraid of death.
It no longer matters whether they are the Wen family, because the Wen family has passed down the spirit and mission. The history written by them is the real history. They will live up to their ancestors, let alone betray history. The Wen family will never cut off their bloodline. .
There were so many emperors in the previous dynasty, and most of them suffered from the Wen family's losses. The Wen family used their blood as advice and their lives as proof. As long as you are a scholar, you can hate them, but you can't scold them. You can think that they are all mentally ill. , but when you meet, you must respectfully call Master Wen.
Among all the emperors, there are very few who have not suffered from the Wen family's losses, and Boss Zhou is one of them.
When Boss Zhou led the troops into the palace, Wen Qi, the historian, stood in the corner of the palace and outside the military formation. With a pen in one hand and a bamboo slip in the other, he was like a bystander, recording stroke by stroke how Boss Zhou led the troops. When soldiers entered the palace, how did they execute the royal family members?
Boss Zhou saw it, but didn't pay attention to it. He told his subordinates not to pay attention to him and to write whatever they wanted. I don't care about you at all. You want face. Ha, if I, Zhou Ke, want face, I won't go back to Beijing to rebel!
After ascending the throne as emperor, Boss Zhou gave Wen Qi another official position, the Imperial Academy's Siye.
This is Wen Qi, this is the Wen family, the world-famous Wen family.
As historians, they do not judge right or wrong, do not point out right and wrong, and do not participate in political affairs. They just record and record carefully.
Of course, they are just doing their jobs well. Even if they are not historians but supervisors, they will still do their jobs well.
"This... Wen family..."
After Lu Baichuan told the Wen family's deeds one by one, Han You was shocked beyond measure.
If a person is not afraid of death, it is normal to have it, not not to have it.
It's not normal for a family not to be afraid of death. It's so abnormal.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes. Even relatives may not be united, but the Wen family has done it. From generation to generation, from father to son, and from son to grandson, they are not afraid of power or sacrifice. A history of the country , were all written with the blood of the Wen family. This national history was written with the lives of hundreds of Wen family members.
"That is to say, he is now not only the official historian of the country, editing and compiling the history of the country, but also the director of the Imperial College?"
"Yes." Lu Baichuan nodded: "The National History Museum is busy, the Imperial College is busy with classes, and Mr. Wen lives in the Imperial College on weekdays."
"Why should he be appointed as the Secretary of the Imperial College?"
"Your Majesty admires the Wen family and hopes Wen Qi will teach more true scholars, scholars who have justice in their hearts and are not afraid of power."
"I see, wait a minute, that's not right."
Han You recalled: "When I saw Wen Qi just now, he didn't seem to be afraid of power. As soon as he heard that I was your Majesty's man, he said some polite words and turned around and left."
Lu Baichuan laughed miserably: "If my guess is correct, Mr. Wen must have gone back and recorded it in a book. Zhou, the founding emperor of the dynasty, Zhou Ke, recommended Han You, the deputy commander of the emperor's personal army, to enter the Imperial Academy."
"Just write, there's nothing wrong with it."
Lu Baichuan sighed: "There is no problem now, but you must not make a mistake. If you make a mistake, it will be recorded in a book one by one."
Wang Hai was excited: "Master, you are going to be famous in history."
Lu Baichuan: "If you make no mistakes and no major events happen, it will not be recorded in the history of the country. If you make a mistake, it will be His Majesty's fault. He will record it in the history of the country and make Your Majesty bear infamy."
Han You: "..."
"Isn't this the behavior of a villain?" Wang Hai was angry: "Master, let's kill him if we hear Dao in the morning!"
Han You laughed sarcastically.
Now he doesn't envy Wen Qi, a young third-grade official. What's the use? What can he do if he's just a first-grade official? He's dead. It's not that this official position is risky, but that this surname is too risky.
