The gentle south wind blows slowly through the woods outside Shiqu Pavilion, and the sound of gurgling water is very pleasant to the ears.
Liu Che lay comfortably in the grass, leaning against a stone.
This is the quiet place he loves.
In Shiqu Pavilion, the young and curious future Taishi Gong has gradually entered his youth and raised his hair crown.
Like his father, he is a history buff.
But unlike his father, the young Tai Shigong has gradually come up with his own opinions.
Especially the more books he reads, the more truths he learns.
The more he sympathizes with and is close to the people at the bottom.
And he had a little secret - for several years, whenever the emperor came to relax in the woods outside Shiqu Pavilion, he could come to the emperor's side, talk to the emperor, chat, and even ask the emperor questions.
And the emperor seemed to like and appreciate him very much.
If you are in a good mood regarding his problem, you will even analyze the background, causes and results for him, as well as why this is happening!
Undoubtedly, the emperor is in a very good mood today.
So, seeing the opportunity, Sima Qian avoided the sight of his father and teacher Sima Jizhu, and quietly slipped through the protective net composed of the heavily guarded emperor's guards - all the guards looked like air when they saw him.
"Your Majesty!" Walking to the side of the emperor who was looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, Sima Qian bowed slightly and bowed.
"Hey! My future Grand Historian!" Liu Che smiled slightly and joked.
Liu Che had always had a particularly fond impression of Sima Qian.
Not only because he admired his personality, but also because Liu Che wanted to influence him deliberately.
Today, due to tradition, the emperor cannot read records of his daily life and files about his words and deeds, so he can only use this method to make his image more stalwart in future history books.
In other words, Liu Che was actually bribing Sima Qian.
Sima Qian was quite shy when he heard this.
But he did not resist the title Liu Che.
At this time, Taishi Gong had not yet become Sima Qian's own mark.
In fact, Taishi Gong is the title of Taishi Ling.
In the future, if nothing unexpected happens, Sima Qian will definitely inherit his father's legacy and become the Taishi Ling of the Han family.
This is not because of hereditary inheritance, but because of tradition and system.
The reason is very simple. In today's world without computers, arbitrarily changing officials who record history will have very bad effects and even cause disasters.
After all, besides a family of historians who have specialized in recording history for generations, can you find anyone else who is more suitable?
there is none left!
For example, if the Taishi order is replaced by another family in the future.
So, if Liu Che wanted to check the archives of a certain year, the historian would probably have to dig through the entire Shiqu Pavilion to find them.
However, if it is Sima Qian, there is no need to think too much.
He was born and raised here, and is familiar with every archive room in Shiqu Pavilion. He knows where the archives of different eras are located. He also knows where to find some good things that you can't find outside.
For example, a conversation between an emperor and his ministers that was not recorded in official history, or a prime minister accidentally telling the truth when he met with the emperor.
Moreover, Liu Che could not find a historian who was more professional and professional than Sima Tan, Sima Qian and his son.
"I heard that you are planning to travel around the world?" Liu Che asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Sima Qian said, "I plan to leave Hangu first, travel east to Luoyang, watch the river wash, enter the land of Fensui, see the Taoist temple of Houtu, then travel south to the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, go up to the land of Kuaiji, and explore
Xiahou Shizhi, seeing the reality of Jiuyi Mountain, crossed the Ruan and Xiang Rivers, then entered Qilu, observed the style of Confucius, crossed east to Andong, cherished the legacy of Zizi, left the county of Liaodong, and remembered the fortress of Qin Kai in ancient times.
, returning from Jicheng, I will play before Your Majesty again!"
Historically, Sima Qian spent his entire boyhood and youth in his hometown of Longmen.
But this historical line has completely changed. He grew up in Chang'an City and within Shiqu Pavilion.
This not only gave him a rich reserve of knowledge far beyond that of his peers, but it also lacked sufficient training and knowledge.
There is a saying: Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
Staying at home and studying hard is just a bookworm.
Only by going out to see the outside world and understanding and getting in touch with the authenticity of the world can we apply what we have learned.
Liu Che undoubtedly liked Sima Qian's decision. He sat up, looked at Sima Qian and said, "Since Aiqing plans to travel around the world, why not go further?"
"South Vietnam has the view of the sea, the beauty of the high towers in the Hetao, the solidity of the Yinshan Mountains, as far as Gaolan, and the legacy of the Sui people!" Liu Che said seductively: "Also, I'm afraid there is something interesting happening in Longcheng now, so why don't you go first?
Let’s take a look at Dragon City?”
"Dragon City?" Sima Qian was hesitant when he heard this. He grew up in the Yuande period, and what he saw and heard was that our Han Dynasty was mighty, the Yi and Di were the leaders, and the kings were victorious.
My friends all said: Weitian's destiny is not obvious.
Some even assert that the fourth generation after three generations has arrived.
Therefore, in his heart, Sima Qian resisted the barbarians on the grassland.
But the emperor said that he should go to Dragon City first?
Bravely, Sima Tan asked: "I heard that your Majesty issued an edict a few days ago. Genglongcheng said: Shunde, Guiyi Shanyu responded after receiving the edict: I should summon all the ministries in the summer and May of the seventh year of Yuande."
, for the discussion of Dragon City, His Majesty Fu Wei can do great things, and Fu Weitian Shanyu can lead all the people of Yuanyuan... Is this the interesting thing His Majesty said? "
Liu Che laughed and shook his head, but did not answer his question. Instead, he asked: "What do you think of businessmen?"
"Businessman?" Sima Qian frowned slightly. Although he didn't understand, he still replied honestly: "Report to your majesty, merchants are a despicable industry, and merchants act without restraint and have no bottom line in their actions, which corrupts the people's customs, destroys the teachings of the Three Kings, and destroys simplicity.
People in the world say: They are not engaged in production, they only focus on light and heavy matters, and they use the strategy of hoarding. They can be called villains!"
"Han Feizi said: The people of merchants and workers cultivate tools to cure suffering, gather endless wealth, and store it until the time comes, but they only benefit the farmers! If the master is not eliminated, even if there are ruined countries and dynasties in the sea, don't blame them.
That’s it!”
Hearing this, Liu Che nodded, which was indeed true.
but……
He smiled and asked: "What do you think, Qing?"
"This..." Sima Qian was slightly stunned, but he did not dare to deceive him in the end, and answered honestly: "I have been studying recently, and Guan Zhou Shu said: If farmers do not work, there will be no food, if workers do not work, there will be no work, and if businessmen do not work, there will be no work.
If it does not come out, the three treasures will be lost, and if the fear does not come out, there will be little wealth... In the past, Guan Zhong even used his power to equalize the Duke Heng, and to unite the nine princes to bring peace to the world!"
"So, I have some doubts, but I just don't dare to say..."
