Chapter 269 Xuanling takes the blame

Emperor Xuan of Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yun, was a shiny emperor with a shiny forehead and no good job. Instead of letting his subjects continue to suffer from his disaster, it would be better to replace Yang Jian.

What's more, compared with other emperors, Yang Jian has another major advantage.

He was very stingy and did not like to enjoy it. At least for the first twenty years of his rule, the principle of frugality was always implemented.

Based on this, the treasury was enriched and the people were happy. Yang Jian also thought that he should write books and biography for the small courts of the previous dynasty.

Although many of these small dynasties were messy and could not find any good things even if they stared through their eyes. The five fingers of the emperors who could count were enough.

Among them, there are several small dynasties, such as Liu Song, Gao Qi, etc. The environment in the palace was even more dirty and smelly, which made people unbearable to look at it.

There is no ethical principle, and scandals spread all over the countryside. However, even so, it is a period of history and has its own value. Even if you hold your nose, you have to preside over the writing work.

However, such ambitions were not yet ready, but because of his reckless deeds of his good son Yang Guang, he died completely.

Therefore, the burden of writing and speaking for the separate courts of the previous dynasty was handed over to the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

As a hero of a generation, Li Shimin certainly attaches great importance to this matter.

He had already found Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others to be responsible for this matter, and they were all the most capable ministers under his command. Not only that, for example, Wei Zheng, whose family was a large clan in Julu, Hebei, and a minister of the past generations, especially his senior Wei Shou, who was also a powerful minister in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

When he was an official in Northern Qi, he was also responsible for sorting out the official history of Northern Qi. Although Wei Shu's errands were not done well, they even caused a chaos in the court.

But because of this job, his family still has a complete collection of books, and some versions are not available in the official library.

In addition, the previous dynasty noble relative Linghu Defen, historian Li Baiyao and others were divided into two parts: Southern History and Northern History, and the writings were carried out quite smoothly.

However, a big problem is also in front of you.

How to evaluate the previous dynasty of the Sui Dynasty?

As the successor of the Great Sui Dynasty, especially the old Li family and the old Yang family have close ties. Yang Guang is Li Shimin's cousin, cousin, and his dear cousin, not adulterated.

Therefore, how to judge the Great Sui Dynasty became the focus of Northern History.

Strictly speaking, considering the Great Sui Dynasty in Northern History is actually an unfair behavior, which is completely a deliberate suppression and reduces its presence.

Unlike those small courts that ruled the north and the south, the Sui Dynasty unified the world. Although the time was relatively short, it took only fifty years to calculate, so why did it have to be like the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi, and they would be in the history of division.

Since Li Shimin gave this instruction, he implicitly had such an intention.

Give Li Tang a glorious and prominent position, keep it famous in history, and become a dynasty that everyone admires and admires.

This is Li Shimin's ambition. In order to achieve this goal, he has been very diligent in governing the country with his own efforts. However, on the basis of fully leveraging his conspiracy, it does not mean that he will not use some conspiracies.

Such conspiracies include putting the Sui Dynasty in the Northern History, and we must try to reduce the presence of the Sui Dynasty and let everyone remember that the dynasty that ended the chaos in the Central Plains for two hundred years was Li Tang, and the fifty years before were completely unimportant.

Not only is it not important, but it also produced a bright, majestic and absurd emperor like Emperor Yang of Sui, who was very proud of his achievements. He wanted to record all his evil forms and evil deeds.

The true, false, half true and half false are written into history. What can I do if my cousin can do? I am not allowed to comment now.

Li Shimin never hides his desire to talk about Shuli because he is so enthusiastic about how historians will evaluate him.

Whenever they wrote a volume, Li Shimin would personally inspect it and delete all the descriptions he thought were damaged by the image of the Tang Dynasty.

However, even so, he still had a lot of dissatisfaction.

Fang Xuanling, one of the editors of history books, was almost the closest person to him among a few people, so he left the matter of submitting manuscripts to him.

It’s not just him who can do it, but he is the only one who is willing to get into trouble.

Every time he submits a manuscript, he always accepts Li Shimin's pickyness. Although Li Shimin's literary talent is not as good as a few of them, he is still dissatisfied everywhere.

Of course, he would not fall to that kind of depravity. If you don’t write as I said, I will send you to prison.

But his pickiness also implies this requirement. You know what I said.

The more you are so picky and picky, the more difficult it is for those who don’t say it clearly. Over time, those who can avoid it will be avoided.

Only Fang Xuanling, the poor man, came to deal with Li Shimin.

This time, the volume submitted was about the Geographical Annals of the Great Sui Dynasty. Because it was not hindered from the records of the characters, Fang Xuanling was also in a good mood. If this thing can still be found, it would be too difficult for him to serve.

They can't do their jobs anymore.

"Xuanling, how did the prince recently?"

Fang Xuanling was in a daze, and counting on the fact that the street drums were about to ring soon, and Lao Lu had already prepared the meal and was waiting.

Seeing that the booklets on the case became thinner and thinner, Li Shimin read them very seriously and had no strange expression on his face. I guess he would be able to go home in a moment.

These volumes are still samples, and they will not be officially finalized until Li Shimin approved it and will be included in Lingyan Pavilion.

The old house, which had already begun to make psychological construction for retreating, suddenly heard this question. Although he raised his head with a well-trained look, his expression was still a bit poorly managed.

At least, from Li Shimin's perspective, Fang Xuanling seemed to have not considered this issue at all.

"It should be fine." He responded vaguely, looking up at Li Shimin's expression, Shimin was very dissatisfied with his reaction.

Such a perfunctory answer shows that Fang Xuanling has an opinion on his disposal.

Yes, there must be opinions on this behavior.

Fang Xuanling is the humerus of the imperial court, and is not an 80-year-old rural villager who is deaf and blind. How could he not hear about the search of the East Palace that night?

The crown prince of the Eastern Palace is the crown prince of the country. In all dynasties, the crown princes were second only to the emperors of the current dynasty.

Such an important person was actually confined to Li Shimin and even started a massacre in the East Palace. You know, it has been extremely rare since Li Shimin became emperor and started a massacre in the harem.

If such a shocking event had been in the past, it would have caused a stir in the court. The next day, Li Shimin also made such preparations to welcome the court officials' saliva. He would accept all those who agree, oppose, polite advice, and clamor.

But the question is, where are these remarks?

He waited for several days, but he did not receive a memorial about this matter.

This is really abnormal. Li Shimin is not a fool. Soon, he realized the cause of the abnormality, and no one of the major officials said anything.

Changsun Wuji was sick at home. As the first uncle, he wanted to avoid suspicion. Li Shimin expressed his understanding. Wei Zheng also stopped moving this time. He was the most important master of Li Chengqian. It was really difficult to stand firm in his position, and Li Shimin also expressed his understanding.

But what about others?

Why don't you talk?
