Chapter 125 Gao Yun's past

As the story spread, more and more people came to see the national history engraved on the stone tablets. People began to talk about it. They saw all the disgraceful things recorded in the national history about the Xianbei people's rise. This incident was very important.

The news soon reached the ears of Emperor Taiwu.

The literati headed by Situ Cuihao and Emperor Taiwu ordered that the history of the country must be written according to historical facts. If they did not write it truthfully, it would be rebellion, which is a serious crime of beheading. Therefore, the literati all recorded it honestly. But they

Who would have expected that after the national history was compiled and written on the stone tablet, Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao would be angered by Long Yan.

The person who becomes the emperor is the only one in the world, so there is nothing to fear. But emperors have a strong sense of vanity. What they fear most is that after his death, something disgraceful will be left in the history books.

, being pointed out.

After hearing the secret report, the historian recorded some of the shameful things of the Xianbei people and engraved them on stone tablets for everyone in the world to see at will. Emperor Taiwu Longyan was furious and determined to "extend the country's evil". He ordered Cui to be imprisoned.

Hao and his subordinates were all arrested and ordered to be executed.

When Emperor Taiwu issued the edict, Prince Tuoba Huang knew about it and was extremely anxious. Prince Tuoba Xian knew that Gao Yun was in danger. The prince was kind and loved talents. When Gao Yun served in the army, he had a teacher-student relationship and knew that Gao Yun was a good person.

He is talented and learned, and is determined to find a way to save Gao Yun's life.

After the dynasty in the palace was over, all the civil and military officials took turns to be on duty. That day, Gao Yun happened to be on duty in Zhongshu Province, so Prince Tuoba Huang sent someone to call Gao Yun. Gao Yun came to the East Palace, but the prince said nothing.

He told him that he was just letting Gao Yun live in the East Palace. He was going to court the next day, and the prince asked Gao Yun to ride in the same car with him to enter the palace. After entering the palace, before going to the palace, the prince took care of him and asked the emperor.

You must remember to speak according to my tone.

Gao Yun was greatly puzzled and asked the prince what happened to Tuoba Huang! The prince said, don't ask anything. After meeting the emperor, just follow my wishes. After entering the palace and going to court, the prince took the initiative.

Reported to Emperor Taiwu that Gao Yun had been working in the East Palace for a long time and had always been cautious and strict in doing things. Although he also participated in writing the history of the country, Gao Yun was obedient to Cui Hao and had no choice but to do so. He begged the emperor to pardon him.

The prince knew in his heart that as the main person in charge of revising the history of the country, Cui Hao could never be saved and would definitely die. Now he had to save Gao Yun no matter what. Therefore, the method adopted by the prince was to put all the blame on Situ Cui, who was bound to die.

On Hao's body.

Emperor Taiwu naturally understood that Gao Yun had been in the East Palace for many years, and now he was mainly the minister of Zhongshu Province, responsible for the affairs of Zhongshu Province. Gao Yun had not played a key role in the history of the country. Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Huang knew

The prince wanted to protect Gao Yun out of consideration for his teacher-student relationship. Emperor Taiwu liked his son and pretended to be ignorant. He was about to let Gao Yun go, so he asked Gao Yun, "Is it all Cui Hao's fault?"

If Gao Yun had followed the wishes of the Crown Prince and Emperor Taiwu and nodded immediately, he would have been pardoned. However, he was a scholar and had an arrogant character, so he actually replied: "Your Majesty, "Taizu Chronicles" was written by Deng Yuan

, Cui Hao and I wrote the "Xiandi Ji" and "Ji Ji" about Emperor Ming and Yuan together. Moreover, Cui Hao had many affairs, so he was only responsible for them all. There were more specific comments than Cui Hao."

Emperor Taiwu was furious. Cui Hao had wiped out five tribes. How could Gao Yun not kill him? The prince quickly reported to his father that Gao Yun was a minor official. Seeing the emperor's anger, he was frightened and confused. He didn't know what to say. Emperor Taiwu knew

The prince excused Gao Yun, suppressed his anger, gave Gao Yun another step, and asked Gao Yun: "Is it as the East Palace said?"

Gao Yun said: "Your Majesty, my minister Gao Yun knows that he has committed a crime against Tianwei and will definitely destroy the three tribes. I dare not tell lies. In fact, it is because the prince thinks that I have taught him and feels pity for me, so he deliberately said this for me.

absolve."

Gao Yun was such a person, a typical bookish person who refused to flatter and told lies. Emperor Taiwu was angry and moved at the same time, so he said to the prince: "People like Gao Yun are so rare. They are loyal ministers. Faced with a life and death situation,

It’s so rare to still insist on telling the truth. I’d rather kill one less person and pardon him.”

Emperor Taiwu ordered Cui Hao to be summoned and asked other ministers to interrogate Cui Hao. Cui Hao was also panicked, mainly because he wanted to harm his family and relatives. Although Emperor Taiwu pardoned Gao Yun, he still sent eunuchs to interrogate Gao Yun and Cui Hao.

Gao Yun answered in an orderly manner. Emperor Taiwu was so angry that he couldn't spare Gao Yun even if he wanted to. After all, Gao Yun made it impossible for the emperor to step down.

He knew that the prince wanted to protect Gao Yun, so he asked Gao Yun to draft an edict explaining why Cui Hao and others must be killed. Gao Yun was taken to the side hall to draft the edict, but there was no movement for a long time. Emperor Taiwu sent someone to urge him, and Gao Yun recommended

He said that he had not finished writing, and even after urging him, he still said that he had not finished writing. Later, the eunuch reported that Gao Yun had something to report to the emperor in person.

After the guards brought Gao Yun in, Gao Yun said: "If Cui Hao is sitting there and there is more provocation, I dare not know about it. I will offend him directly and the crime will not lead to death. I don't know if Cui Hao has other crimes."

; If it is just because Cui Hao compiled the "Records of the Nation" and offended the power of heaven, the crime will not be beheading. When compiling the history of the country, the emperor himself said that it must be recorded truthfully, and the emperor cannot go back on his word!"

Emperor Taiwu was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. He had indeed said it. And there was indeed no other crime. If he didn't kill him, what would be his face? So Emperor Taiwu thought of a decent way and issued an edict to kill Cui Hao among the five tribes.

Others only killed him. The emperor gained a good reputation, adhered to his principles, was tolerant, and accepted advice humbly. He did not kill Gao Yun and adopted his suggestion. When he was about to be executed, 1 (among them)

A senior official sighed, Gao Yun is really a saint!

- The second advantage of Gao Yun, who was impoverished, was that he used his pen to help the country. He was a well-known upright official who could insist on correcting the emperor's mistakes. His upright temper could not be changed. After Emperor Wencheng, it was still like this. Emperor Wencheng liked him very much.

.Once Emperor Wencheng said: "Gao Yun is a true loyal minister. I have right and wrong, always speak uprightly, and talk about things I don't like to hear..."

Emperor Wencheng admired Gao Yun, and after praising him, he changed the subject and began to criticize others, and elevated Yun to the post of Zhongshu Ling. Lu Li, the king of Pingyuan, said that Gao Yun's family was very poor, and when the court rewarded him, he could not get it. Officials in the Northern Wei Dynasty had no salary.

His rank was small and he received few rewards. Gao Yun's wife and children lived a difficult life.

Emperor Wen Cheng was very angry and angrily rebuked Lu Li for not telling her earlier. That day, Emperor Wen Cheng and his queen Feng Yuan led the civil and military officials to Gao Yun's house. At first glance, they found that there were only a few thatched huts in the house, and the quilts were made of cloth with lint all out.
