Chapter 789 The Value of Truth

After Yingyan arrived in the East Palace, not only did she take good care of the emperor and grandson, but she also always accompanied the crown princess who had just lost her husband, comforted her, accompanied her, and soon became the crown prince's confidant.

The princess went to the Yuntai Temple to express her gratitude for this, but she only got a word of "peace of mind", and she didn't even see Tan Yaoyu's face.Not only her, but other wives who came to visit for various reasons were also turned away.

When everyone thought that Tan Yaoyu was going to expand her power with great fanfare, she disappeared and just "closed the door to clean up".

In the entire Yuntai Temple, no matter day or night, the doors are closed.If it weren't for the Zhenxi army still guarding the outside of the watch, everyone would have thought that Tan Yaoyu was no longer inside.

At first, some people thought that Tan Yaoyu was deliberately putting on a show for outsiders to see, but who would have thought that it would take half a year to watch Yuntai!
In the past six months, except for Tuoba Tao who met Tan Yaoyu once, no one has seen her again.

No matter how lively the play is, no one will watch it over time.

After Tan invited Yu to retreat, the Cui family became more and more lively.The Han clans that were originally wavering because of the Xin family's gain in power, now all fell to the Cui family.

With Qiu Chi's formal surrender, the north is unified.As for the North and the South, although the truce has not yet been signed, the new Emperor Liu Song has repeatedly shown goodwill, and the long-lost truce seems to be imminent.

There is no battle to fight in the world, and Cui Hao's revision of history seems to be the only thing that has attracted much attention.

Every day in Cui's mansion, aristocratic family members come to visit with their own articles, hoping to be selected by Cui Hao to participate in the compilation of history, and to have a chance to be recommended as an official in the future.

The Cui family took the opportunity to win back the hearts and minds of the Han clan, and became even more interested in compiling history.

Seeing that each family sent the man who wanted to focus on cultivation to Cui's mansion, for the sake of history and Cui's family's face, Cui Hao waved his hand and directly rebuilt a mansion in Pingcheng, piled it up and found it from various places. Classics and bamboo slips.

The children who participated in the history compilation lived in this mansion every day, and compiled the "Wei History" without stamping.

Every time Cui Hao sees the scenes where hundreds of people are reading and writing at the same time, he is overwhelmed with emotion, thinking that his long-cherished wish for many years will finally be fulfilled.

Today is sitting in the hall, Cui Hao sits in the middle of the hall surrounded by all the disciples, and discusses with the disciples how to write the next step.

At this time, a nephew surnamed Cui presented a scroll of bamboo slips, saying that he found this scroll among the birthday gifts bestowed by His Majesty, and it recorded the old days before the establishment of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Since the establishment of the Great Wei Dynasty, it has only reached the third emperor. Although the old events before the establishment of the Dynasty should be compiled into the "History of Wei", but the predecessor of the Great Wei Dynasty was a Xianbei tribe, and few people could write, let alone record the old events. .

Cui Hao had been worrying about this before, but he didn't expect to find the record in the birthday gift from His Majesty today.

After receiving the bamboo slips, Cui Hao began to read them like a treasure, but the more he read, the more ugly his face became.In the end, the bamboo slips were rolled up, and Cui Shishilang left in a hurry without even continuing to sit in the hall.

Cui Shishi saw that his father's expression was not good, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He got into the carriage with his father, went all the way back to Cui's mansion, entered the study, closed the door and asked, "Father, what happened?"

Cui Hao handed the letter tightly held in his sleeve to his son, "Look at it."

Cui Shishi took it, and was terrified after reading it. He took a deep breath before calming down.

If there are things that cannot be seen, there have been in all dynasties.It's just that during the tribal period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the law of the jungle was more or less primitive. Fathers killed sons, sons loved their fathers, and fratricide seemed to be commonplace in the tribes.

This kind of bestiality can be seen from the current ancestral system of leaving the son and leaving the mother in the Wei Dynasty.

These things are nothing in the eyes of the Xianbei nobles.After all, in the bitter cold of the grassland, only the strong can survive.

However, the Han people were deeply influenced by Confucianism. At this time, both Cui Hao and Cui Shishilang felt a little nauseous when they saw the records on the bamboo slips.

"Father intends to write these into the annals of history? I'm afraid it will offend His Majesty." Cui Shishilang was a little uncertain, after all, it was not something glorious.

Cui Haoben was still a little hesitant, but when he heard his son’s question, he said righteously: "Compiling history is not a fabrication! You can’t avoid the important and ignore the trivial! If it’s just for singing the praises, writing a eulogy is enough, why bother to search the classics? The history books are If you want to preserve it forever, you have to think twice about the usage of a word, how can you, as a father, ignore the facts and cover up everything that happened!?"

Cui Shishilang said with shame when he heard the words: "Father taught me a lesson. Besides, this ancient book is a birthday present given to my father by His Majesty. If Your Majesty really cares about this, why would you give this letter?"

Cui Hao nodded and said: "That's right, Your Majesty is a broad-minded person. You should know the power of it, and know that the most important thing in history compilation is to be rigorous and correct."

Cui Shishilang agreed: "Since that's the case, my boy, let's call the disciples to sit together tomorrow to discuss how to incorporate the things recorded in this book into the history of Wei."

Cui Hao glanced at the book again and hesitated for a moment.Thinking of what his son said on the night of his birthday, the Cui family really wanted to show the character that Hanchen should have by compiling history.Since the letter was given by His Majesty, even if some people were dissatisfied, it was just a quarrel.

Finally, Cui Hao nodded and said, "Go and make arrangements."

Fifteen days later, a copied volume of Wei history was placed in front of Tan Yaoyu.After reading it, Yao Yu nodded in satisfaction, and smiled at the gentleman who came to deliver the scroll: "Thank you for your hard work, are you still used to living in Pingcheng?"

Mr. Nalang made a bow and said: "The Qin family was born in Qingyue, and although it is not close to Pingcheng, it is not far away. When I was a child, I lived with my parents in Pingcheng for a period of time, and I can speak Xianbei, so my uncle sent me Come and help Xian Ji."

Tan Yaoyu smiled, this young gentleman is Qin Zhongzhi's nephew, he doesn't look like one, he is upright and not following his uncle's treacherous appearance.

"I heard from your uncle that you have outstanding talents and learning, but now you are wronged to study ink and cut bamboo slips for those clan children in the Cui family's mansion. Do you feel dissatisfied?"

Mr. Qin Xiaolang also laughed, "How can you be dissatisfied? Although my uncle didn't say it clearly, I know that none of the things that Xian Ji did was earth-shattering. It is my good fortune to be driven by Xian Ji. Besides, although the Cui family son has some It’s a great feat, but he’s not mean, so it’s not difficult to get along with.”

Tan Yaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's thanks to Wang Wulang marrying the daughter of the Cui family. If we hadn't got something out of her, we wouldn't be able to pick out a man who is easy to manipulate in the Cui family so easily. Then If the letter was not submitted by the Cui family, Cui Hao would never believe it easily."

"What Immortal Fairy said is true," Lord Qin Xiaolang bowed, "It's just that this is just the first draft, even if Emperor Wei doesn't like it, just rewrite it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to shake the Cui family."

Tan Yaoyu sneered, "It's natural. Cui Hao and Tuoba Tao have been monarchs and ministers for many years. Unless they touch the bottom line, who can touch Cui Hao?"

Mr. Qin Xiaolang was puzzled: "Since Fairy knows about it, what will she do next?"

Tan Yaoyu tapped the Wei Shi copied in front of him with his fingers, raised his eyebrows and said: "These clan children have worked so hard for so long, and finally achieved some achievements, it's time to celebrate...let someone prepare more food and wine for them Bar."

After Qin Xiaolang-jun took the order to leave, Tan Yaoyu returned to the room a little tired.Sitting on the side of the bed, looking at Yingfeng who was sleeping on the bed, he murmured worriedly: "The time is coming, wake up quickly..."
