Chapter 852
Therefore, the Emperor Yang of Sui in the eyes of everyone is different from the Emperor Yang of Sui in the eyes of later generations.
In their eyes, Emperor Yang of Sui made contributions and was not a tyrant.
On the contrary, he is still a relatively enlightened and literary monarch.
"We can't say too much about the previous dynasty, but..." Cen Wenben said hesitantly, "The history of the previous dynasty can be re-written. For history, we must respect facts. Just like Shigong Tai, we must uphold fairness and not maliciously write deeds that do not match the facts because of personal preferences."
In fact, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it compiled history for the Sui Dynasty.
But because the Tang Dynasty was obtained because of the Sui Dynasty, except for the facts that the records of Emperor Wen of Sui were more consistent with the facts, everyone else had some descriptions that did not conform to the facts.
Among them, Yang Guang is particularly the case.
Therefore... Cen Wenben said so.
If it were before, everyone would probably have strongly opposed it. After all, the darker the previous dynasty, the more beneficial it would be to the Tang Dynasty... It means that the Tang Dynasty received the country as the imperial power granted by heaven.
However, now that Li Ke is the emperor, Cen Wenben's suggestion has left nothing to say.
Especially Wei Zheng, he felt that he should not slander the emperors of the previous dynasty, and at least he could not throw all the things that were not available on these people.
"Can!"
Wei Zheng nodded and said, "We should have done this long ago. To set an example for scholars all over the world, our Tang Dynasty should have the demeanor of the Tang Dynasty."
"So, what should we do?"
Ma Zhou asked.
"We have to mention this matter and report it to the emperor."
Xu Jingzong said.
"Yes, we can only ask!"
Cen Wenben said.
"Everyone will contact the ministers in the court, the three provinces and six ministries, the Censorate, etc., and all of them will be written to the book."
Wei Zheng suggested.
"no problem!"
Xu Jingzong nodded.
Everyone also felt that it was OK.
So, this matter was determined.
"There must be someone who takes the lead?"
Ma Zhou suddenly asked.
Everyone was stunned, it should be.
But this is licking the current emperor naked.
Everyone still had some shame... However, except for those present, the others seemed to have no such weight.
So, everyone turned their attention to Xu Jingzong.
I think Xu Jingzong is more suitable to be this licking dog... "Several adults, I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"
Xu Jingzong asked with a hot face.
He usually licks His Majesty the Emperor, but he doesn't lick it so obviously. Why do everyone think he can?
In fact, he can do this, but he can't be too anxious to be a red-faced person.
"Sir Xu, the future belongs to you, and it's time for you to show off now."
Wei Zheng said seriously.
He didn't like Xu Jingzong's character very much because he was greedy for money and was a complete licking dog.
But he admired Xu Jingzong's ability to handle affairs and handle government affairs, and was indeed a minister.
Wei Zheng also knew that no one was perfect, so Xu Jingzong had so many shortcomings that he still did not hate him particularly, and was willing to be a minister with Xu Jingzong.
"Yes! Lord Xu, you can do this!"
Ma Zhou also spoke.
Xu Jingzong glanced at the two of them and found that they did not mock him, but were recommending him seriously.
So hesitated for a moment, and nodded in agreement.
"Since you took the lead, you will contact the rest of the matter except for a few big shots.
Cen Wenben said, "We will fully support you..." "Thank you, Cen Xiang!"
Xu Jingzong took the order.
"My sirs, we still want to think about the emperor better!"
Cen Wenben said, "This time he wants to travel to Suhang, we don't support it, nor do we object..." "Why?"
Xu Jingzong asked.
"If we support it, we will become slander ministers, inciting the king to only love fun and ignore the country."
Cen Wenben explained, "But if we oppose it, it will make the emperor very unhappy. We feel that our monarch and ministers are disconnected, and there will be many discords in government affairs in the future."
"Do this..." Cen Wenben paused and said, "The room left for us will be very large."
"It's still Cen Xiang's wise!"
Ma Zhou sighed.
Indeed, why can’t an emperor like Li Ke be strong? He can only compromise with each other to achieve harmony between the monarch and the minister.
"This time, His Majesty left Chang'an, may be accompanied by Wei Xiang and Lord Ma, and Lord Xu. When you are in Suhang, you must always urge the emperor and not let him slacken in government affairs."
Cen Wenben said.
He knew very well that Li Ke would leave him in Chang'an City and deal with the national affairs.
Because, only he is enough to make Li Ke trust to this point.
"Understood."
Wei Zheng and the other two nodded slightly and said.
So everyone talked about it and it was Li Ke.
"Cen Xiang, is this what the emperor means, or what you mean?"
Everyone left, Cen Wenben returned to the study, and his staff asked in a low voice.
"This is not what I mean, nor is it the emperor."
Cen Wenben replied.
"This..." the aide asked in confusion.
"This is what the people in the world and ministers in the court meant!"
Cen Wenben said sternly.
This is equivalent to setting a tone for the previous dynasty to revisit history, which is to respect history and facts.
"But all dynasties have been writing history like this... If we do this, the Tang Dynasty will be very exceptional."
The staff said hesitantly.
"How many years do you think the Tang Dynasty can enjoy the country?"
Cen Wenben asked.
"I don't know this."
The staff member shook his head and said, "But according to the dynasties... except for the Great Zhou, there are no dynasties that have lasted for more than 800 years. Moreover, the Great New Kingdom, like the Great Qin and Wang Mang, only existed for more than ten years."
"You're right!"
Cen Wenben nodded and said, "But, our emperor is different!"
"Why is it different?"
The staff asked.
"He may live for a long time!"
Cen Wenben said, "He lived for a long time, and the Tang Dynasty could enjoy the country for a long time... In this way, even if we don't re-enter the history books of the previous dynasty among our group of officials, we may also practice them among some people later. In this case, why don't we practice them now? In this way, we can respect history and facts more."
"Cen Xiang is really a saint!"
The staff sighed.
"I just want to give the scholar a little...a little thing to see, real, not a history written by a family or a detractor."
Cen Wenben said.
He is first a scholar, secondly a counselor and a capable minister.
Therefore, as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he was still a scholar after all.
"I understand!"
The staff bowed deeply.
He felt that the old man in front of him seemed tall and great at this moment.
"You go down!"
Cen Wenben said, "This matter... Maybe you can help you in the future."
"clear!"
Chapter completed!
