Chapter 2142 Li Er said that historical facts should be recorded truthfully
It is said that after a few days, Wei Zheng asked to be discharged from the hospital.
Then he entered the palace and asked Li Shimin to resign.
In the end, Li Shimin didn't try to persuade him to stay.
He left the court and felt relaxed.
From now on, nothing will happen to the world.
He no longer worries about common people's affairs.
What Li Shimin does has nothing to do with him.
This kind of ease is the result of more than ten years of offloading heavy responsibilities.
Wei Zheng finally arrived at Di Renjie's location and managed the Shengtang Group with him.
For this matter, Li Min also asked Chang'an's Shengtang Group to celebrate for three days.
Wei Zheng also moved his family into the Shengtang Group's park.
From then on, he had to manage hundreds of thousands of people in the Shengtang Group.
Of course, not only him, but also a large number of committee members will participate.
Di Renjie was very happy to be with Wei Zheng.
This is a good thing.
He also began to countdown to his trip to Dongzhou.
When he arrives in Dongzhou, everything will speed up.
On this day, Li Shimin was scrolling through his mobile phone gloomily.
Until he saw an idea.
That is the historical events recorded by the previous historians, which are generally not allowed to be seen by the emperor. Why is this?
Li Shimin didn't understand very much.
It happened that Fang Xuanling was supervising the compilation of national history recently, so he summoned Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling was very puzzled.
What is Li Shimin's name?
But he felt that if Li Shimin asked him to come over, it would definitely be up to no good.
as expected.
Li Shimin asked: "Fang Yiai, you said that the historical events recorded by the historians of previous generations were not allowed to be seen by the monarch. Why is this?"
Faced with this problem, if you don't respond well, you may lose your head.
If Li Shimin knew that some historical facts were described in such a stark way, it would be strange if he didn't get angry.
Fang Xuanling, on the other hand, was personally compiling the history of the country.
Isn't this a problem for him?
But Fang Xuanling actually replied directly: "The historian does not embellish or hide his crimes. If the emperor sees it, he will definitely be angry. If he gets angry, the historian's head may be in danger. Therefore, the historian wrote down the historical facts,
Most people don’t dare to go in and show it to the emperor.”
After hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Li Shimin thought deeply for a moment.
But he didn't know that Fang Xuanling was already panicking inside.
Even though he replied, he still wasn't very calm.
He thought Li Shimin would be angry, but he didn't expect it.
Li Shimin was not angry.
Instead, he said: "I am different from the previous monarchs in that they are not broad-minded. I want to read the history of the country personally so that I can know the previous mistakes and use them as a reference for the future. Fang Xuanling, the history of the country you are currently writing.
Let me see!"
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he was very frightened.
He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is a saint and has no fault in his actions. What the historians have recorded is logically perfect. If your Majesty really wants to see it, I am afraid it will break the rules. If this rule is passed down to future generations,
Not all future generations are wise monarchs! They have made mistakes. If they cover up their mistakes and cover up their shortcomings, the historians will inevitably be punished and killed. They will become afraid to speak out and write the history of the country truthfully.
Over time, historians have acted in obedience to the will and avoided harm. So how can the history of thousands of years be trusted? Therefore, the real reason why the previous monarchs did not read the history of the country is here."
Fang Xuanling said a lot.
But Li Shimin didn't listen.
He said: "Fang Xuanling, please bring it up and show it to me."
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he felt that this might be a disaster.
what to do?
Do you really want to show it to Li Shimin?
If you don't show it to him, he will scream again.
If you show it to him, if he gets angry, don't cut yourself.
It is indeed difficult to be a historian.
It is very difficult to be fair.
Accidentally, my head moved.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Fang Xuanling didn't know what to say.
"Hurry up, I want to take a look." Li Shimin said again. He didn't know which muscle was out of control, so he just had to take a look. Fang Xuanling couldn't do anything about him.
What can that do?
If he wants to see it, let’s see it.
Fang Xuanling had no choice but to bring two Tang histories to the matter, namely "Records of Gaozu" and "Records of Jinshang".
"Your Majesty, these two volumes are the history of the country that I have recently supervised. Please check it out." Fang Xuanling was confused and confused.
It’s like being afraid of being pointed out by Party A who doesn’t understand in the future.
"Let me take a look!" Li Shimin took it and took a look.
Then he frowned.
Obviously, this made him very dissatisfied.
He saw the records about the Xuanwumen Incident and was a little dissatisfied.
Because the book records the Xuanwumen Incident on June 4, Taketori 9, the writing method is very cryptic and tortuous, and it dares not describe it directly, nor does it write about the events of that day from an impartial perspective.
Perhaps Fang Xuanling had predicted this before.
Or is it the result of unified discussion among historians?
Li Shimin sighed and said: "I am very dissatisfied with the changes in Xuanwu Gate!"
"Then how does Your Majesty want to change it?" Fang Xuanling's voice was very low.
As long as Li Shimin changes his mind, then this matter will be over.
He also didn't want Li Shimin to hold on to this matter.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin said: "Historical records show that Zhou Gong killed Uncle Guan, and Uncle Cai established the Zhou Dynasty! And Ji You poisoned Uncle Ya to save the state of Lu! What I did back then was similar to this. What should the historians hide?
?! Delete the flashy words! Bingbi wrote about the killing of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji."
Fang Xuanling was shocked now.
Li Shimin, what's going on?
Why is this.
Could it be that he has faced what happened that day?
"Your Majesty, this..."
"Write it truthfully!" Li Shimin said again.
But Fang Xuanling was still afraid.
I was afraid that Li Shimin would not be able to figure it out and would cause trouble for him.
"But, Your Majesty!"
"Didn't I understand what I said?"
Li Shimin said again.
"Yes, yes, your Majesty, I accept the order!"
"Okay, go and change it right away, and then show it to me."
"Then I will go out first?"
"Let the historians come to Tai Chi Palace to revise it, and I will watch from the side, reading every word."
Fang Xuanling complained endlessly.
This Li Shimin is too cruel.
What's he got to do?
"What? Is there a problem?"
"No, no, no, I will let them in right now."
"Go quickly!" is the command,
Fang Xuanling didn't know what happened to Li Shimin this time.
Is it too idle?
He didn't dare to think too much and directly ordered the historian to come in.
When they entered the palace, Dai Zhou entered the palace urgently.
"His Majesty!"
Dai Zhou held the mobile phone and shouted.
"What's wrong?" Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, please look here."
Dai Zhou showed Li Shimin his cell phone.
Li Shimin saw it.
He muttered: "Zi Zhi Tong Jian?"
"Yes! Zizhi Tongjian"
"This..." Li Shimin was puzzled.
What did this Zizhi Tongjian mean? When he saw the contents, he immediately understood.
This exists just like a history book, and it is recorded in an extremely fair and objective way.
The meaning of Zizhi Tongjian is to provide historical materials that are common to the emperor at that time (Northern Song Dynasty) and can be widely used for reference."
"Zi" is interpreted as "used for, used for, provided for". "Zhi" means "governing, governing". "Tongjian" is interpreted here as "general, widely used reference materials".
That is to say, it exists like a historical record.
"Where does this come from?" Li Shimin asked.
"I discovered it accidentally, and the records on it are so new that everything that happened yesterday has been recorded," Dai Zhou added.
"What!" Li Shimin was shocked.
Fang Xuanling was even more confused as to how a book could be written so quickly.
However, from the display on the phone, it seems reasonable.
Because it is owned by Shengtang Group.
"I discovered that this history book was written from the 23rd year of King Weilie of Zhou Dynasty to the present. And it is still being updated."
"Zizhi Tongjian" is a multi-volume chronological history book edited by Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has a total of 294 volumes and took 19 years to complete. It is mainly based on time as the outline and events as the purpose.
But I really didn't expect that Li Min would serialize it on the Internet.
Fortunately, he didn't reveal what happened in the future.
Otherwise, some people might get angry.
"Can the contents above be tested?" Li Shimin asked again.
"Let me take a look!" Fang Xuanling said.
Dai Zhou gave him the phone.
And also taught him where to enter.
At this time, everyone used their mobile phones to enter.
And started to look at it.
Li Shimin was reading about the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
After reading it, he exclaimed: "This is historical fact, Fang Xuanling. They wrote it very well, objectively and without subjectivity. Compared to your compilation, they are more objective and true."
Li Shimin said this, which made Fang Xuanling very depressed.
But this is actually the case.
There was nothing he could do.
I can only say that Li Min is very powerful and powerful.
You can actually transfer all your past events to your mobile phone.
Let the world see it.
"Then what is Zizhi Tongjian? I don't know." Dai Zhou said at this time.
"I think, in view of the past, he is qualified to govern the world! This is what he means!"
Wang Chuanshan once said: Those who are qualified for governance are not just those who know how to govern and understand chaos, so they are the resources for striving to seek governance. Although they are poor and alone, they can be good at themselves, teach others, and know and be prosperous, so they are called Tong Ye.
Those who can be beautiful in other people's eyes, and those who dress and dress respectfully, can do it right.
Those who learn from it are clear, their knowledge is broad, and their knowledge is deep. People can take it by themselves, and they can govern themselves and the world, and they can respond to everything without being exhausted. How can it be said that what is discussed here is a complete success, but it will not be easy in the end!
Sima Guang himself also said that "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" is "specifically related to the rise and fall of a country, the stakes of the people, good things can be used as laws, and bad things can be used as warnings."
How could Li Shimin let such a good book go?
He said: "Is there a physical copy of this book? Bring a copy to the palace. I want to see it."
When Li Shimin said this, Fang Xuanling looked at Dai Zhou and realized that this incident was caused by him.
Of course it comes from him.
"Your Majesty, this matter... this..."
"What? You don't want to do it?" Li Shimin asked.
"No, no, it's just that in the Shengtang Group, I'm afraid they won't give it to me. Why not let our ministers copy it and make it into a book? In this case, it's controllable!" Dai Zhou added.
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt it made sense.
"Fang Xuanling!"
"I'm here!"
"It's up to you to do this."
"But, Your Majesty, how should we prepare our history books?"
"If you want to write a history book, this book is enough. Look back and see if what is written in it is correct. If it is not written correctly, just change it!"
"Yes..." What else could Fang Xuanling say.
Li Shimin picked up his phone and read Zizhi Tongjian.
Dai Zhou and Fang Xuanling stood by the side, saying nothing.
They stared at Li Shimin for a long time, fearing that Li Shimin would come up with another idea.
As long as Li Shimin says a word, they will work tirelessly.
After the two of them stood next to each other for a long time, Li Shimin suddenly found a dialog box popping up on his phone.
What is written above is: If you want to continue watching, please top up!
Li Shimin was immediately shocked.
This is not free.
You still have to pay.
It made him very embarrassed.
Recharge, how to recharge, how much does it cost?
None of this.
After he clicked OK, he could no longer see the content inside.
And there is a postscript above: It is not easy to create, please pay to watch.
Next there will be prices corresponding to the time.
One hour, one hundred coins.
The more you buy, the cheaper it gets.
"Is this kid crazy about money?" Li Shimin said.
Fang Xuanling and Dai Zhou came over to take a look.
They also find it very magical.
This Li Min is really good at getting things done.
This happened so unexpectedly.
To buy or not to buy?
Fang Xuanling said: "The Sixth Prince has always advocated paid online reading. This may be his first step in creating paid online reading. Just like our books are not free, we have gained too much convenience on the Internet.
, and make some words very cheap. Therefore, this matter must be changed. I support the Sixth Prince’s method."
Li Shimin looked at Dai Zhou.
I want to hear what he has to say.
Unexpectedly, Dai Zhou said directly: "I have the same opinion as Duke Xing."
This guy really knows how to get things done.
Like Fang Xuanling, this expression is so simple.
"Your Majesty, if you want to copy it like this, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."
"You don't have to spend money to read it? Copy it, copy it directly." Li Shimin said again.
Fang Xuanling then said: "What's the difference between this and plagiarism? This is piracy!"
"So what, what if someone steals something that can help others learn." Li Shimin seemed very unreasonable and would copy the above content no matter what.
Then take a look at it yourself.
If Li Min knew about this, he would have to laugh at him.
This Li Shimin is really a dog.
How could this be?
If you don't do good things, you have to do something like this.
The two of them could not persuade Li Shimin.
They gave up.
Then let Li Min explain everything.
They didn't want to talk about it anymore, it was useless.
"Fang Xuanling, this matter is up to you, and Dai Zhou, get more mobile phones and exchange them one by one. He wants to collect money, but I won't give him a penny!"
Li Shimin said this.
Is this... is this still the emperor?
Maybe it's because Li Shimin doesn't approve of Li Min's methods.
But this is the future trend.
This book has three million words. How long can they copy it?
If you want to watch it, you have to pay to watch it. Only in this way can we produce more high-quality content, right?
But Li Shimin didn't think so, and he didn't think this was a good idea.
"Okay, you go ahead and do this. After you finish copying, show me each roll. By the way, copy the Tang Dynasty first, and we'll talk about the rest later!"
