Chapter 1,749 It’s not up to you to discuss

Jiyou, a fellow practitioner of the National History Cai Bian's father-in-law Wang Anshi's "Ri Lu", and wrote in the memorial: "The late emperor's great virtues and great achievements are outstanding throughout the ages, but the records in the "Shi Lu" are too numerous to be suspected. Check it, review it, and publish it again so that future generations will not be confused."

In "Records of Shenzong", there were many records that were unfair to the reformists. Lu Dian, a disciple of Wang Anshi, had argued against them based on their reasons.

However, Sima Guang was in charge at the time, and what he was best at was stuffing private goods into history books.

This is a big deal, and a slight mistake can lead to party strife. Cai Jingcai was a little confused when he got such a hot charcoal pill when he became prime minister.

He didn't dare to make the decision without permission, so he had no choice but to ask for an order.

Asking for an imperial edict means that you think you are not capable enough and want to pass the blame to the emperor.

Zhao Xu was also young and had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, so he held the colander, and the monarch and his ministers were grilling meat on the garden grass while thinking about what to do.

As for the history from Xining to Yuanyou, Colander has actually studied it. After studying it, I came to the same feeling - Sima Gong and the princes are not good people. In those years, they really tortured my dear father. Already.

Now that Cai Bian asked such a question, Colander truly understood how difficult it was for his father back then.

This is just a revision of history, not a revision of history, which makes people frightened. What’s more, those who witnessed it back then were really struggling in the Storm Reef Group.

With a long sigh, he handed the barbecue sauce to Zhao Xu with a slotted spoon: "My father said back then that everyone has a gentleman's side and a villain's side. It is actually a bit biased to use gentlemen and villains to distinguish the ministers in the court."

"From a personal moral point of view, Guan Zhong was extravagant and arrogant, and was by no means a model of a gentleman. But from a merit point of view, he helped Duke Huan of Qi achieve hegemony and avoided the troubles of Zuo Jin in the Central Plains, so he was praised by Confucius."

"Father said that people are complicated and cannot be simply distinguished by a gentleman or a villain. For example, the two Cheng Er are an example."

Zhao Xu looked at Cheng Yue who was lying on the grass, clapping his hands to tease Zhao Mao to learn to walk, and then thought of Cheng Yi in Luoyang. He felt that what Situ said was indeed very reasonable. While brushing the sauce on the meat skewers, he asked: "What should Situ say? solve?"

Colander said: "Father said that actually it is proper for everyone to supervise each other and move forward. He also said that supervision and pulling is necessary. The direction we go out in this way is a direction that both parties will most likely accept, and it is also a direction that is most likely correct."

"But there is one thing. Walking is a prerequisite. You can't push it so hard that you forget to walk."

Zhao Xu understood: "So it is not difficult to reconstruct the true records of the late emperor, but how to limit the controversy to the "Records" is difficult."

Pass the meat skewer to the slotted spoon: "Have a try this time. Is the taste right?"

Zhao Xu was disliked for grilling Meng Duanyi a few days ago. He came to find a way to find a solution. Colander came up with the simplest way. Mix the seasonings and divide them into seasoning seasonings and barbecue seasonings. First, use the seasoning seasonings to cook the seasonings. , then use barbecue sauce to barbecue, as long as it can be cooked, the taste will be okay.

Sure enough, he took a mouthful of skewers with a colander and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. It tastes good even if the heat is good."

The monarch and his ministers began to eat on the edge of the grass. Colander said: "Is this possible? Is it possible? "Records" can be rewritten. No, it should be called Shenbu. But the previous editors Fan Zuyu, Zhao Yanruo, Huang Tingjian, Lu Dian, Cai Bian and Zeng Bu should also be here, let them draft the parts that both parties agree on first, and then list the parts that are in dispute between the two parties."

"Then ask them to list the facts and provide evidence to support their opinions, and everyone will argue."

Zhao Xu expressed that he was very satisfied with his craftsmanship, called Cheng Yue over to taste it, and asked: "What if the two sides still can't argue after the argument?"

Colander said: "Then record their evidence, information, and the remarks of the relevant parties to explain that there is a dispute here and the facts are not clear."

"In line with the attitude of being responsible for future generations, although we cannot be sure which side is correct, at least we have clearly recorded the ins and outs of the dispute. At least we have left important information for future generations to revise our history today."

"In this way, His Majesty's attitude is fair."

"The history of the Song Dynasty from Xining to Yuanyou is the history of transforming a declining and cumbersome country into a glorious and prosperous country. In this history, if there were no heavy thinking, painful choices, and arduous efforts, , isn’t it too unreal?”

"The common people have suffered in this process, but the suffering of the common people has been seen by everyone. However, the suffering of other people - officials, courtiers, Sima Xianggong, Wang Xianggong, the late emperor and the empress dowager, how much pain they suffered Did anyone see it?”

"My father often told us stories about that period. During this process, if the late emperor, the empress dowager, the courtiers, and the governors, including my father, had not experienced a little doubt, pain, powerlessness, and weakness, then Did our life today come too easily?"

“Your Majesty, please record this history as comprehensively as possible, maintain a fair history, face the difficulties of the process, and faithfully record the errors, controversies, and decisions in the process, so that future generations can feel more proud of our fathers. "

"They also endured confusion, pain, powerlessness and weakness that ordinary people could not bear. However, they finally overcame all difficulties and created the greatest era in Chinese history!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel moved, then this "Record" is another kind of practice.

Yes, in the history books of the past, whenever major decisions were made at historical junctures, the great men of history often made the decision with a single word and a wave of their hand, and then the clouds and mist were cleared away to see the blue sky.

It seems that not doing so is not enough to reflect their greatness.

However, those who recorded history ignored the pain and hardships that the big men went through before they "decided with one word."

And the detours they have taken.

Situ said that court affairs are often just a matter of choosing a less bad plan among several bad plans to execute. Even if the saint is reincarnated, he cannot escape this embarrassment.

The difference is just more or less.

Recording this embarrassment is not a shameful thing, but will tell the world the reality at that time.

I will give back to the people of the world the flesh-and-blood, true-feeling Emperor Shenzong that Situ said he had in his heart.

Zhao Xu's admiration for his father came from this image. Comparing his feelings with his own, he felt that Situ at least portrayed his father better than the current historians.

So he decisively gave Colander a thumbs up and a skewer as a gift: "Shiren, this is a serious discussion. It should be brought up in court...wait a minute, Mao'er, why are you crying?"

The colander took the meat skewers, thanked him, and secretly rolled his eyes.

When am I not passing by?

And why the Duke is crying? It’s such a clear thing——

I'm crying!

…

Bingxu, because the previous information was not comprehensive enough, summoned Cai Bian, Zeng Bu, Fan Zuyu, Zhao Yanruo, and Huang Tingjian to supplement the "Records of Shenzong".

At the same time, the intention of the revision was clearly communicated to the ministers. If there was any dispute, "take it all and leave it to future generations."

If you don't make a choice, there will be no target. The emperor will still uphold justice, and the conflict will still be between the courtiers.

Moreover, Zhao Xu satisfied the demands expressed by the mouthpieces of both sides, transforming the "life-and-death struggle" into a "side-by-side display of future generations' comments", and required that the arguments must be fully detailed and verifiable, and no one can talk nonsense, let alone use excuses to attack.

, these all need to be recorded.

Anyway, the essence of "Records of Shenzong" is not to revise history, but to give Shenzong more "humanity" through this supplement.

To put it harshly, it’s a “miserable sale”.

And it’s not just pretending to be miserable, because the Song Dynasty was really miserable in that early period of history.

Looking at the misery of that period and comparing it with today's prosperity can better highlight the greatness of the generation led by Zhao Xu, and we will cherish today's days even more.

This twist and turn is quite subtle, and it is a result that both reformers and conservatives are willing to accept.

And it is different from "He Xi Ni", because Zhao Xiaotong Shoes has his own clear position, and it is impeccable and a more brilliant position.

In addition, in order to seek common ground while reserving differences, everyone has to continue to negotiate in compromises.

But now that this hole is open, it must be controlled carefully.

For example, some censors took this opportunity to criticize Su Song and Su You in a circumstantial way.

It is believed that during the period when Gao Taotao was in power, the two of them had an ambiguous attitude and never mentioned the proposal of returning power, just to covet the favor of the Empress Dowager and the Su family and not to take the little emperor seriously.

At this time, Zhao Xu will take action:

"When Fang was young, all the ministers came to the throne one after another and chanted: 'When you grow up, who will let you blame him?'

Every minister has something to say, but it depends on Xuan Ren. I may have something to say, or I may not be right.

However, if you eulogize Xuan Ren, you will report it to me again, and if you have an edict, you will tell all the ministers to listen to my words.

I will record all the arrangements and discussions, as well as all the public discussions.

Situ was summoned to the capital, and when he first saw him, he made a speech, which was to sit down and discuss.

Every time in the chapter, Xuanren is called Shengci, and I am called Your Majesty. The titles are juxtaposed and do not refer to one person.

Every time I use my light to advise my ancestors and grandchildren, both at court and abroad, I often say that the two palaces are one, loving each other and prospering together.

Speak with sincerity and sincerity.

All of this is true.

Like the two gentlemen, you know the righteousness of the king and his ministers very well, and you are not the one who can discuss it lightly."

Cai Jing still didn't believe it, so he took advantage of his position to secretly read Su You's memorial after Gao Taotao made it.

Sure enough, among all the courtiers, only Su You's memorial placed the two characters "Shengci" and "Your Majesty" side by side!

details make a difference!

Cai Jing couldn't help but beat his chest and felt annoyed - such a simple thing could make His Majesty miss him for a lifetime!
