Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 938 The fat man who reversed black and white!
Seeing that all the ministers including the crown prince had no objection, Li Tai felt secretly pleased. After so many years, he could finally stand in front of the emperor and "decision with one word".

Overjoyed, in order to further prove that his point of view is correct, Li Tai also quoted Tai Shigong's words in "Historical Records" as evidence, which confirmed Ren Huang's point of view.

"Historical Records" records: "Knowledge is enough to avoid remonstrance, speech is enough to cover up wrongdoing, self-esteem is enough for people and ministers to be capable, and the voice of the world is high, thinking that everything is under oneself."This was what Sima Qian commented on King Zhou, which meant that King Zhou was wise enough to reject the advice of his subordinates, and eloquent enough to cover up his faults.He boasted in front of his courtiers with his talents, and exalted himself everywhere with his prestige, thinking that no one in the world could compare with himself.

Is what Tai Shigong said reliable?Not necessarily, because he didn't tell lies once or twice. Taking Qinhuang Benji as an example, he made up a lot of lies.

So how did he evaluate Qin Shihuang? "Qinhuang Benji" said: Qin Wang misses the heart of greed and vulgarity, acts of self-improvement wisdom, does not believe in heroes, is not close to scholars and people, abolishes kingship, establishes private rights, bans documents and cruel laws, defrauds power first and then benevolence and righteousness, and regards tyranny as the first The world begins.

As the ancestral dragon, Shihuang became the first emperor of China, swept the six countries, unified the world, unified the weights and measures, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and conquered Baiyue in the south. There are too many great achievements in his life. A little irritable, but also flawless.

Any scholar with a little understanding can see that Tai Shigong's evaluation of Shihuang is very unfair, so why did he use this spring and autumn brushwork to portray the image of Shihuang?It is to rectify the name of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who was born in a lowly family. The so-called crusade against innocence and tyranny of Qin Dynasty is to find a reasonable and legal reason for the rebellion.

So, would the historians of the Zhou Dynasty treat King Zhou in the same way?Once the emperor and the courtiers, they took the jobs of the Zhou royal family, so they naturally wanted to "resolve worries and problems" for the king like Tai Shigong!

Moreover, according to reliable historical records, when Emperor Wu was in power, he had a lot of criticisms about the "Historical Records" edited by Tai Shigong, and he scolded him more than once, especially his assumptions about the pre-Qin part. Seek truth from facts.

"Whether it is a faint king or a wise king, the title of King Zhou is not directly related to the title of King Zhou. Now it seems that the people of the Zhou royal family deliberately added a mysterious aura to themselves in order to cover up the fact that they killed the king. Renamed the Son of Heaven, the power of the king is granted by God!"

"According to my son, the achievements of the father's emperor not only surpassed that of the Qin emperor and Hanwu, but he was not inferior to the three emperors and five emperors! Since Qin Shihuang can use the words "emperor" and "emperor" to confirm the new supreme position, then father Why can't the emperor use the title of "human emperor" like the ancient holy emperor?"

"Father is the sole ruler of the world, why should he be bound by such vain things as the so-called theocracy! Isn't the Fo sect just using the name of gods and Buddhas to deceive the people to collect money to satisfy their own desire for treason! The people are the father The emperor's people, their life, death, wealth and honor should be in the hands of the father, not those vain things!"

"That's why, my son thinks that Father Emperor should abandon the title of Son of Heaven, and use the Human Emperor, which was specially used by the ancient Holy Emperor, to surpass everything in the world. One, can better reflect the majesty of the Supreme."

Li Tai's "rhetoric words" shocked everyone except Liu Ji. The always arrogant emperor was flattered by the two of them. You can tell by just rubbing it, the emperor, no, His Majesty the new Emperor is tempted.

And including Li Chengqian, everyone, including Li Tai and Liu Ji, "scrutinized" Li Tai and Liu Ji with a different perspective; Inviting pets even disregarding the bottom line of scholars, it really makes scholar-bureaucrats feel ashamed.

Li Chengqian wanted to laugh, but the occasion was wrong, in order to suppress the smile, he turned his hands away and pinched his back fiercely.Since he entered the court and participated in politics, he has been to too many places and met too many people, but Li Chengqian dares to swear that it is really rare for him to be as shameless as the two of them.

It is said that the historians of the Zhou royal family and Tai Shigong misinterpreted the facts. Isn't it the same for him and Liu Ji?Yes, it is the responsibility of the courtiers to avoid some issues for the emperor, but I didn't ask you to quote them like this!This is a complete jester, okay?

Whether the book is right or wrong depends on one's understanding. The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom. They have not forced you to follow the scriptures, and have never said that your own views are correct.

Just think of the history of the Sui Dynasty compiled by this dynasty, how many things in it were brought by the Spring and Autumn brushwork, there are too many!It is nothing more than to consolidate the interests of those in power.

Li Chengqian can assure you that these two people have been honored by Jiu Ding today, but on another occasion, his father would definitely think that this is referring to Sang Huai, and then let alone asking for credit, it would be a godsend if they didn't peel off the skins of the two of them.

Just when Li Chengqian was in a trance, the emperor, who was a little embarrassed by the praise, said with a smile: "Hey, Qingque and Liu Qing's words are too much. No matter how holy I am, no matter how great my achievements are, I can't be compared with the three emperors and five emperors."

"As for the title of the emperor they both mentioned! What are your opinions? Come on, Gao Ming, auxiliary machine, Xuanling, you all talk about it!" Li Shimin pinched his waist and looked at Jiuding nonchalantly , while talking.

Any fool can tell that the emperor is tempted. He said this because he wanted everyone to help bring this situation to an end. He raised it uprightly in the court. Without everyone's support, they would not be able to pass the court meeting just relying on the little fat man. , let alone use it.

"Well, Your Majesty, this is a big matter. The old minister thinks that we should be cautious. The common people often say that the meat of the buns is not on the folds. The court has just weakened the so-called sacred power of the Buddhist sect. Should it be more stable? Let's discuss this matter again, and then everything will be natural." It will happen when it will happen." Changsun Wuji saw that the prince was holding back a smile, so he quickly pulled him without a trace, and then stood up to cover the prince's disgrace.

"Your Majesty, it's not impossible to invite King Wei and Prime Minister Liu, but there are still a lot of court affairs at the moment. The Gaochang battle has not yet been resolved. Should we wait for the victory and the army to return to the court, and take advantage of the festive time to do it!" , Fang Xuanling also stood up, cupped his hands and replied.

Well, the two important ministers have covered up their disrespect, if he doesn't stand up again, he will appear a little narrow-minded.Although the merit of offering the Nine Tripods is great, it cannot be proud of it, and it cannot be allowed to be recreated by others!
Therefore, he took a few deep breaths, channeled his desire to laugh, and cupped his hands and replied: "Father, the time of the emperor's title is related to the country, please be the emperor's leader, and the children and ministers only follow the father's horse!"
