Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 495 Historian's character is nothing more than unyielding and straight writing!

Historian.

The sacred position that has been handed down since ancient times, according to legend, was inherited from the official position of Emperor Shihuang Cangjie, with a high status, especially Su Wang Ji Zhao's emphasis on history, and the Luo family's emphasis on history have created the current atmosphere.

Tai Shi Ling.

From generation to generation, it is the official position responsible for recording the Han Dynasty.

In a corner of the palace, Sima Qian knelt quietly in the corner.

The Sima family is a generation of historians handed down from the pre-Qin period. He is not only a person, but also bears the glory of the ancestors of the past generations.

As the evening drum sounded, he left the palace, the harem was not for him to enter, and someone else would record it.

Then he met Luo Qing.

Luo Qing was riding in a very simple carriage without any fancy decorations. When he saw Sima Qian appearing, Luo Qing stepped out of the carriage, dressed in plain clothes, straightened the wrinkles on his clothes, bowed solemnly and said: "Qing has seen Taishi Ling .”

"I will pay my respects to the young master."

Sima Qian bowed back, and then asked with some doubts: "The young master is here looking for a move?"

Luo Qing nodded and said, "Exactly."

When Sima Qian heard the words, he waved his hands and said loudly: "Young master, please come into the mansion to talk."

The two walked into the hall together and sat down separately. Sima Qian asked Luo Qing why he came, but Luo Qing didn't answer, but said: "Taishi Ling, last time you said that you wanted to write an unprecedented general history, because you were in a hurry, you didn't ask carefully today. Would you like to tell Qing about it?
Luo Shi Ji Shi Qianzai really wants to know what this unprecedented history book looks like. "

Luo Qing was really curious, after all, if he dared to brag about Haikou in front of Luo Shi, there must be something.

Sima Qian couldn't help showing joy on his face when he heard the words. For historians, writing a history book that can be handed down to future generations is probably the highest pursuit in life.

"Young Master, this history book written by Qian is very different from the previous history books. Historians before Bang Zhou recorded events and made history without system.

Historians matured on the day of Bangzhou, and had a chronology and a country.

In particular, all the states of Bang and Zhou had their own historians, each of them recorded their events, and each of them recorded the posthumous title of the monarch to record the year. This method is very easy to sort out the chaotic history books, and can mutually confirm the major events of the same period.

However, the records of people are often not perfect. If you want to understand a person, you need to read a lot of history books.

The history books written by Qian are mainly about people, and in one article, they are all written from life to death! "

When Luo Qing heard it, he felt that his entire scalp was going to explode, as if a layer of fog had been peeled off in front of his eyes, and he was surprised and excited: "It can still be like this, Tai Shiling is really a genius, this method of recording history, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time." It was emulated by future historians."

Hearing Luo Qing's praise, Sima Qian stood up and walked to the corner, took out a stack of thick paper from the cabinet and handed it to Luo Qing.

He said while passing: "Qian is going to record the emperor's chapter as this book, the prince's family as the family, and the capable minister as the biography, and then comment on this life, and make a history book that understands the past and the present.

The history of the world is all in the Luo family, please allow me to move into the Luo family's historical material collection room. "

Luo Qing took the neatly arranged papers, and immediately saw three large characters - "Zhou Benji".

Sima Qian said: "Qian intends to compile the seal script from the five emperors in the legend. The emperors of the Yuxia, Yin, Shang, and Bangzhou dynasties were respectively used as this chapter, and the posthumous emperors and false emperors were also used as this chapter, such as Su Wang, Shang Huang, and Gao Empress. "

Hearing this, Luo Qing stopped flipping through the catalog, and said solemnly: "Tai Shi Ling, the ancestor Su Wang can appear in Zhou Benji and Luo Shijia at the same time, but Luo Wen Wang does not want to be in this Ji."

Sima Qian was taken aback for a moment, but this was a matter for his ancestors, and it was not overstated, so he agreed.

Luo Qing closed the thick stack of papers, and said solemnly: "Tai Shiling, if you want to complete this history book, it will be difficult for you alone, and the amount of Luo's historical materials is unimaginable.

If you want, you can go to Zhaocheng to study history, and the family will send countless people to help you complete this masterpiece. "

"I'm willing!"

Sima Qian replied immediately, he was almost instantly stunned by the sudden surprise, it was like planning to buy a lottery ticket to reward himself, but won 500 million!

Enter Zhaocheng to study history!
Now Sima Qian just wants to immediately worship the gods of his ancestors and tell them that the Sima family is promising.

Luo Qing smiled in satisfaction. It was impossible for Sima Qian to study history in Zhaocheng without being influenced by the Luo family. The completed history books must be huge, and it was reasonable to store them in Zhaocheng.

After knowing the history that Sima Qian wanted to compile, Luo Qing immediately took out his own records about the prince Liu He, and handed a piece of paper full of words to Sima Qian. About Liu He."

Sima Qian took a look, was only silent for a moment, and said directly: "It's very fair, the prince has committed crimes, and it's okay to repay sympathy, and it can be included in history with a little refinement."

Luo Qing stared at Sima Qian closely and said: "Taishi Ling, he is the future emperor, and he is not a benevolent person."

He is the future emperor, the most powerful person in the world. He is also ruthless and a murderer. Aren't you afraid of death?
Falling into Liu He's hands may usher in a rather miserable future, can this be ignored?
But Sima Qian really has the demeanor of an ancient historian, and even a sword can't change his will. He has strong love and hate, and is not afraid of the powerful. He is a rare natural historian.

He raised his head and said, "Don't say he is the future emperor, even if he is the current emperor, so what?

Mistakes and achievements will be recorded in history.

The emperor Liu Dan is the only husband in this world. I have witnessed the process of his troubles in the world. I must write a special book so that the kings of thousands of years in the future will be a warning.

But I will not cut down on his merits in the slightest, even if it is a sentence, I will write it clearly.

Will there be any change in what has already happened?
The words written down are like a big river flowing eastward, which can never be changed.

Mencius said that the country is not accepted for the sake of death. I said that it is better to die than to change a stroke. The history is clear, and the merits and demerits of thousands of years are all in this stroke. This is the burden that God has given to historians. !

My people can die, but the history books are there! "

Luo Qing clapped his hands and laughed when he heard the words: "When writing history, historians are most afraid of a timid word. If you don't dare to write, then you don't dare to write it all. Instead of this, it's better not to be a historian, but to be a eggless eunuch in the palace." up.

If you have such courage, you will definitely make an unrivaled history book.

It is not too late.

Tai Shi ordered this to go to Zhaocheng with Qing, life is too short. "

Sima Qian's age is indeed considered young. The compilation of this history book even takes several years. After all, every word needs to be written down with a pen. This is because of the paper. , which takes longer.

When Sima Qian heard the words, he immediately said: "Tomorrow Qian will resign from the emperor, and the post of Taishi Ling will be handed over to my son."

Historians have been inherited from father to son since ancient times, and the same is true for the compilation of history books. If one person cannot complete it, it will be completed by heirs, brothers or even sisters. This is the family of historians.

The next day.

In Changle Palace, Liu Xun looked at the resignation in front of him in shock, he could hardly believe that it was Tai Shiling's resignation.

Why did the historian resign?
Liu Xun asked suspiciously, "Ling Shi, what does this mean?"

Sima Qian raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, I want to go to Zhaocheng to write history, write about the ancient times, write about the rule of the three generations, write about the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, and write about the prosperity and decline of our great Han Dynasty.

The minister should keep writing until your rule of the world. Compared with such achievements, the official position of Taishiling, who only needs to write straight books, is not very important. "

It only needs to write straight and straight, which Sima Qian thinks is a simple thing, but many historians dare not do it!

Sima Qian's voice echoed in the hall, and Liu Xun's ears were buzzing. Writing the history of the past is a trivial matter, but if he heard correctly just now, Sima Qian still wants to write contemporary history?
Write about yourself, the emperor who is sitting on the throne?

"Tai Shiling, you want to write about me?"

"Exactly!"

"How do you write it?"

"I said it, but it's just a straight book, and there are merits and demerits, all of which are above it."

Liu Xun smiled, pretending to be angry and said: "The emperor is supreme, and people in the world even avoid the name of the emperor, how dare you accuse the father of your fault?"

Sima Qian bowed deeply, and then said in a high-spirited voice: "I will not criticize Your Majesty's faults, but the pen in my hand, the history written in my pen, is passed down by the Emperor Su Wang.

As long as you have a public heart, there is no one or anything that cannot be written about in this world.

Your Majesty is a Ming emperor and minister who said so, even if the emperor Liu Dan sat in front of the minister, the minister still dared to say so. "

What a boldness!

A pure literati is more heroic than countless generals fighting on the battlefield!
Liu Xun put away his anger, and then laughed loudly: "I have no fear, above the history, I must be the first-rate king below the holy king.

I agree.

The Taishi order can go to Zhaocheng to pass on the romance and prosperity of my great man in the annals of Zhaozhao. "

Sima Qian bowed slowly and exited the palace. The sun shone on him warmly when he walked out of the palace. It wasn't until this moment that Sima Qian suddenly felt a pressure.

The ancient times have already passed, and even the Luo family may not have too many materials.

However, since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it must be well compiled for 800 years.

Under the steps, Luo Qing was looking at the majestic palace with his hands behind his back. He was about to leave here and go back to Zhaocheng.
