The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

At Maoshi, Emperor Wu of Zhou woke up on time.As soon as he got up, Sun Kui walked in with Sun Doudou bowing his waist.

Sun Kui and Sun Doudou saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou first, and then asked with concern: "Your Majesty, did you sleep well last night?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou stood beside the dragon bed and opened his hands to ask Sun Kui to change his clothes.At this time, Sun Doudou took a cup of tea and fed it to Emperor Wu of Zhou.Emperor Wu of Zhou drank a few sips of tea with his head down, and rinsed his mouth.

"Slept well."

Sun Kui changed the coat of Emperor Wu of Zhou, and Sun Doudou knelt on the ground to change the pants of Emperor Wu of Zhou.

"Your Majesty, you sleep well every time you go to the Kunde Palace, even if you don't sleep in the Kunde Palace." Sun Kui said, "Your appetite also improved a lot last night, and it's the Lady Zhaoyi's ability. "

Emperor Wu of Zhou said softly: "The dishes she cooks are very suitable for my taste."

"Your Majesty, you eat well and sleep well in the Kunde Palace, why don't you go to the Kunde Palace more often?" As the personal eunuch of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Sun Kui naturally hoped that Emperor Wu of Zhou could eat well and sleep well every day.

Emperor Wu of Zhou also wanted to go there every day, but he couldn't.

"Do I have that much free time?"

"The minister is here."

After the ministers finished talking, Emperor Wu of Zhou sat up straight and looked at He Xiang with concern: "He Xiang, I heard that you passed out yesterday. Are you okay?"

He Xiang they naturally agree.

"pity."

"You are always in charge of compiling the history. As for the other people who compose the history, you can figure it out."

Sun Kui, who was walking behind Emperor Wu of Zhou, said: "Your Majesty, if you really postpone the morning court until the fourth quarter of the hour, the ministers will criticize you again."

"Painful."

He Xiang said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, the emperor, I am fine!" As long as the emperor is not angry with him, he will be able to live well.

The ministers are already used to Zhou Wudi's foolish appearance, and if one day Zhou Wudi becomes serious, the ministers will find it strange.

The official historian has always had no sense of presence in the court. Today, he was suddenly called, and everyone turned their attention to him. This made the official historian feel nervous and his body became stiff.

Seeing He Xiang, they all agreed, and other ministers would naturally not object.The ministers all know that compiling history is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and it is a good thing that will last forever in history.

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at Kong Taichang and the others, then at Taichang Cheng and the others.Immediately, he looked at Grand Master Liu who was standing in the front.

"How many history books are there about the former dynasty and the Zheng dynasty?"

Although compiling history is a great thing to leave a name in history, it is also a troublesome thing.Taishi Liu never cared about his own reputation, let alone whether his name would go down in history.

After discussing how to compile history, He Xiang asked curiously: "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly think of compiling history?"

"Where are the history books before the Chen Dynasty?"

"Master Liu."

The historian said: "There are very few."

"Historian."

No matter who presides over the compilation of history, his name will be famous in history.

"What's the matter, let's talk." Emperor Wu of Zhou just sat down for a while, and his whole body was tilted on the dragon chair.

Emperor Wu of Zhou nodded his head and said, "How many history books are left in the Chen Dynasty?"

Hearing what Emperor Wu of Zhou said, He Xiang and Grand Master Liu instantly understood what he meant.

What Emperor Wu of Zhou meant was to repair and repair it from the last few dynasties first, and then go forward.

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who asked this endless question were stunned for a moment, and immediately said that they liked to watch it.

After breakfast, it was almost time for Chen Shi, so Emperor Wu of Zhou went to Chengguang Hall unhurriedly.

"I have an idea, let people sort out the historical materials and compile them into books, so that they can be passed on from generation to generation, and the history will not be broken." Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at the ministers and said, "What do you think?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou asked again: "Are the historical records of the previous dynasty complete?"

Hearing the change of Zhou Wudi's tone, Sun Kui's heart trembled, and he immediately raised his hand and slapped himself: "Your Majesty forgives me for talking too much."

After Emperor Wu of Zhou washed up, breakfast was already set up in the dining room.

Compiling history is a major event, and we must first discuss how to do it, where to do it, and where to go.

Emperor Wu of Zhou's breakfast was very simple, including porridge, sesame seed cakes, steamed buns and other very common foods.

The historian replied: "Less than one hundred volumes."

Emperor Wu of Zhou sneered and said, "Are I afraid they will say it? Are they talking about me?" When Emperor Wu of Zhou was still the prince, the ministers often visited him.When he became emperor, the ministers still talked a lot about him.He is like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, letting the ministers say. "I postponed the morning court to the four quarters of the hour to benefit them, so that they can sleep a little longer on weekdays. I am thinking of them."

As soon as Sun Kui heard this, he knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou was despising himself as emperor again.

In the main hall, the civil and military ministers have already lined up.

Next, Grand Master Liu did not have a clean life.

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't say anything, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked slowly into Chengguang Hall like an old man.

Sun Kui smiled and said, "How dare a servant take care of you."

"There were many wars in the late Chen Dynasty, and many history books and books were destroyed in the wars."

"Your Majesty, Prince Yiyong is gone, so don't think about it."

Taishi Liu: "..." He knew that the emperor had thrown the "mess" to him again.

Taichangcheng and Shaofucheng also appeared on the list, expressing their willingness to compile history.

"My loves should be aware of the importance of history books?" Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "Since the Chen Dynasty, there have been fewer and fewer history books left. What do you think is the reason?"

During these four to five hundred years, wars occurred frequently.There were especially many wars in the Chen and Zheng dynasties.The previous dynasty was better, but during the period of Emperor Xia Ling, there were constant wars.Fortunately, no one ruined the history books.

"Oh, forget it." Emperor Wu of Zhou sighed quietly, "It would be great if the eldest brother is still alive." If the eldest brother is still alive, he doesn't have to be the emperor of this troublesome son, so he doesn't have to be busy every day.

The historian was as sad as Emperor Wu of Zhou.As a historian, what he cares most about is historical materials.

Kong Taichang and his son felt that their chance had come.The father and son glanced at each other, and immediately nodded to each other.

When Emperor Wu of Zhou saw that the minister was fine, he asked Sun Kui to announce his resignation.

As he walked, Emperor Wu of Zhou lazily said: "Chenshi is still a little early for morning court, it should be postponed a bit, Chenshi is exactly right."

"sad."

The ministers who supported the acting king of course recommended Kong Taichang to be in charge of compiling history.

After the court, He Xiang, Liu Taishi and the official historian went to the imperial study.

The historian replied: "It's not complete. During the time of Emperor Xia Ling, there was a fire in the palace, which burned many historical books. Also, when the rebels broke into the palace, they also burned many historical books."

"Returning to the emperor is because of the war."

The ministers who had something to do came out one after another to talk about things.Going to court every day, there are big and small things.However, confidential things will not be said in the morning court.

Without any hesitation, Kong Taichang stepped out of the ranks, and Mao then recommended himself to preside over the revision of history.Then, Kong Yuan came out and said that he was willing to help Kong Taichang to compile history together.

"Okay, I don't blame you." Emperor Wu of Zhou had already changed into his dragon robe, and went to the side hall next door to freshen up.

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand casually, then yawned and said, "Get up."

"Your Majesty, do you really want to change the morning hour to the four quarters of the day?" If it is really changed to the four quarters of the day, their servants will be able to sleep a little longer, but the time for the emperor to review the memorial will also be postponed. "Your Majesty, don't you go to sleep at midnight?"

When this question was asked, all the ministers present were taken aback for a moment, wondering in their hearts why the emperor asked this question.

Alas, the crown prince and the acting king are vying to get it... As a result, the emperor himself does not want to be the emperor.

"The war is one reason, but the most important reason is that no one has compiled these historical materials into a book so that the history books can be passed on."

When Emperor Wu of Zhou sat on the dragon chair, the ministers immediately knelt down and saluted: "See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"You've passed out, why are you alright?" Emperor Wu of Zhou pretended to be concerned, "He Xiang, you have to take good care of your body. If something happens to you, what will I do?"

Sun Kui said silently in his heart: Your Majesty, you just want to sleep in for a while.

"My dear friends just said that they all love to read history books, so how do you feel when you hear what the historian said just now?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his foot and kicked Sun Kui's ass, cursing: "I just thought, can you control it?"

The ministers who supported the fourth prince immediately said that the Li family was the most suitable.During the period of the first emperor, the Li family presided over the revision of ritual and music rules.In this regard, the Li family is very experienced, and it is most suitable for the Li family to compile history.

The historian said very excitedly: "The emperor is wise!"

The emperor is really the first person in the world who does not want to be an emperor.

The official historian replied respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, there are 120 volumes left in the history books of the previous dynasty, and only [-] volumes in the history books of the Zheng Dynasty."

Whether it's the prince's person, the acting king's person, or other prince's people, they all want to arrange their own people to participate in the compilation of history.

"Very few?" Emperor Wu of Zhou said sadly, "It's really sad."

"Since all the lovers agree to revise the history, who do you think is more suitable to preside over it?"

"The minister obeys the order."

"The same is true for Zheng Chao."

Thinking of what happened yesterday, He Xiang's face suddenly darkened.He gritted his teeth and said: "Thank you, the emperor for your concern, I'm very good!" He Xiang always felt that the tenth prince went to Lanyuan Pavilion yesterday to steal his silver-bordered tribute was instigated by Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Suddenly called by Emperor Wu of Zhou, the historian was startled for a moment, and hurriedly came out: "The minister is here."

Then He Xiang and Liu Taishi walked out of the ranks, supporting: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"If you say that, then I can rest assured." Emperor Zhou Wu said, stood up and walked to the front, looked at the ministers below and asked, "Do you love reading history books?"

"Xiao Shi said that he likes to read history books. Seeing that Zheng Dynasty didn't leave many history books, he asked why he didn't sort out the historical materials and compile them into history books." Emperor Wu of Zhou laughed, "I thought what he said was right, so I thought of compiling history. Come."

He didn't expect His Highness the Tenth Highness to bring up the matter of history revision, which really surprised He Xiang and the others.

Zhao Yao, who was studying in Wende Hall, sneezed several times in a row.

Emperor Wu of Zhou: Whoever wants to be an emperor wakes up earlier than a chicken and sleeps later than a dog.

Zhao Yao: Both hands and feet agree.
