Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2272 The truth is behind the history
After Xu Jingzong found out, he resolutely divorced Pei's family, and reported to the emperor on the charge of unfilial piety that Xu Ang should be sent to Lingnan, and Gaozong Li Zhi agreed to play.

Could it be said that Xu Jingzong was wrong about this matter?

Xu Ang's behavior is no better than a beast in any era, no matter how such a punishment is, it is purely what he deserves.And Xu Jingzong took the Yu family as his concubine, what's so strange about an old man and a young wife?
"Marrying a girl Yu Yiluo, Na Cai asked for her name, but only heard about her goods", this kind of reason is also pale and weak. Marriage in ancient times was originally arranged by the parents. There is no such thing as free love. As a father, the daughter Who to marry is a family matter, and it is not illegal, and there is no quota for how much dowry.

Besides, the Feng family was really good. Although it was a bit far away, they were the local emperors in the south of the Five Ridges, so they were no worse than ordinary high-ranking officials, right?

As for the charges given in the "New Tang Book", ""Jing Zongying's tyranny went so far as to build a building, let the prostitutes walk on it, and indulge in drinking and playing music to entertain themselves"" is pure nonsense.

Xu Jingzong, as the prime minister, was highly valued by Li Zhi. "The imperial court paid great attention to his affairs, and his prestige and favor were blazing. At that time, there was no comparison." With such a status and status, what's wrong with living a more luxurious life?
It's really commendable that high-ranking officials like Wei Zheng and Yu Zhining are still poor and don't like material desires, but how can they demand people in the world by their standards?

Xu Jingzong is very rich and likes to spend money. There is no problem with this. The key is that a gentleman loves money and whether he gets it in a proper way. As long as he is not greedy and accepts bribes, who can control it?

Since ancient times, one of Xu Jingzong's most important crimes has been tampering with history.

How do you say it?
Because Feng Deyi had a personal grievance with him, Xu Jingzong avenged his personal vengeance. When writing history, he "increased his crimes"; Gao Gao said that he was born in a powerful family, and Yuchi Jingde was also concealed because of his in-law relationship with Xu's family; Xiaotai was defeated by Goguryeo, because he gave money to Xu Jingzong, but in the history books it is said that "the only Han generals who are strong and strong are Su Dingfang and Pang Xiaotai, Cao Jishu and Liu Boying are among them"...

It sounds like there will be an illusion: Xu Jingzong is so powerful, he can write whatever he wants to write about Huanghuang history...

In fact, this is absolutely impossible.

The history books compiled by Xu Jingzong are official histories compiled by the Tang Dynasty, not personal works. There are countless great Confucians who participated in the compilation. Xu Jingzong is only a leader because of the emperor's trust and personal literary accomplishment. It is responsible for the integrity of the history books. These people are all great Confucianists. How can they be allowed to cover the sky with one hand and tamper with them wantonly?
As we all know, "writing history" is a very important task in ancient times, which is of great significance and must be completed under the guidance of the political program of the imperial court.

Just like in later generations, the Party History Research Office invites you to write the history of the Party, but is it possible that the history of the Long March and the Anti-Japanese War is at your disposal?

What's more important is that after the compilation of the history books was completed, His Majesty Li Er and the two kings of Li Zhi all recited them, and they all expressed their satisfaction, and even rewarded Xu Jingzong...

When Xu Jingzong compiled the history books, Feng Deyi was accused, saying that on the eve of the Xuanwumen Change, the great ancestor Li Yuan wanted to make His Majesty Li Er the crown prince, but he gave up because of Feng Deyi's obstruction. Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er believed that Immediately issued an edict to abolish the posthumous posthumous posthumous title given to Feng Deyi, deprive him of his household title, and change his posthumous title to "absurd"; at this time, Changsun Wuji was killed for treason.

For these people who have done wrong, of course the official history books must belittle them. This is the political tone, and who dares to change it?

Although Qian Jiulong was of low birth, he was the founding general of the country. After his death, he was buried with Li Yuan in the mausoleum; Yuchi Jingde followed His Majesty Li Er for many years and was buried with Zhaoling after his death; For these positive figures affirmed by the imperial court, it is inevitable for the official history to say good things about their advanced deeds and at the same time downplay their bad deeds. This has never been the case throughout the ages.

What's wrong with this?
As for supporting Gaozong Li Zhi to depose the queen and make Wu Meiniang the empress, Tang Guozuo was almost cut off... Who knew that a female stream would change the world and rule the world 30 years later?
Even if I tell you, no one will believe you!
At that time, the reason why Xu Jingzong supported Wu Meiniang was just to help Emperor Gaozong and Li Zhi clean up the court, and after killing Changsun Wuji, he would ascend to the throne himself. It was purely a political struggle, so what did it have to do with loyalty?

……

History is always like this. The truth is often hidden in the dust, but it shows its back in front of others, making you at a loss and difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Xu Jingzong can never be called "awe-inspiring" and "magnificent in character". It's really unfair.

As for Chu Suiliang... In addition to his good handwriting, his character is really worrying.

Fang Jun watched the two arguing, rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought—had he fallen?Once upon a time, when Yang Fan went out to sea, his subordinates were full of famous generals with strong bones, looking down on the mighty seven seas, what a glamorous glory!

Now he is surrounded by "treacherous and sycophants" and side by side with "filthy", and being with such people all day long, will he ruin himself too?

……

Knocking on the table to stop the dispute between the two, Fang Jun held his teacup and said, "You two, the academy is about to start. As for the candidates for the students, is there any room for discussion?"

Chu Suiliang was stunned for a moment, and said to himself that all the candidates handed over by the old man were crossed out by you, which made the old man lose face. The whole Guanzhong knew that this was Fang Jun's academy, and Fang Jun had to say whoever entered and who came out. If it is decided, no one else can comment on it.

Now why did he take the initiative to propose that the candidate is questionable?
Must have!

Chu Suiliang couldn't bear to be agitated patiently, and he couldn't care less about being reserved. He leaned his upper body slightly forward, looked at Fang Jun and asked, "What does Erlang mean by that?"

Fang Jun said: "The previous actions of this official were a little impulsive, and it also made it difficult for Chu Siye to explain to those behind him. So after thinking about it, I feel that I should ask His Majesty for instructions on how the academy is doing. Enrollment should be decided by His Majesty."

Chu Suiliang pretended not to have heard the sarcasm in Fang Jun's words, and said happily: "That's right! The aristocratic families are loyal to His Majesty. If it weren't for their great help back then, how could the Tang Dynasty be able to rule the world so smoothly? After all, How can meritorious ministers recruit those ineffective bastards and second sons from various families, but exclude the eldest son who inherits the family business?"

He has been under too much pressure recently. He surrendered to the camp of the Guanlong nobles, but he ruined the most important thing. He couldn't stand the cynicism of those Guanlong family clans all day long.If Fang Jun cannot get through this link, and the academy's admission regulations are changed, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to integrate into the Guanlong Group, but he will be regarded as an enemy.

Many people think that it is precisely because of the quarrel between Fang Jun and Chu Suiliang that Fang Jun resolutely rejected the list drawn up by Chu Suiliang...

Now Fang Jun suddenly let go, which made him ecstatic, and he was a little unscrupulous.

It wasn't until the words had been spoken that I realized something was wrong.

What is "bastard son, second son who is worthless"?
The immediate boss in front of me is the second son of the Fang family, and he has always been famous as a "dandy" and "stick".

Even the current His Majesty is the second son...

Fang Jun didn't take this slip of the tongue to embarrass Chu Suiliang, but just glanced at Xu Jingzong lightly, then picked up the teacup, and drank tea lightly.

Xu Jingzong met Fang Jun's eyes, and instantly understood Fang Jun's meaning. He couldn't help feeling a little suspicious in his heart: Although he and Fang Jun can't be regarded as enemies, they are definitely not close friends. This kid has made things difficult for him. But why is it that the cooperation is getting more and more tacit, as if "the heart has a tacit understanding"?
Coughing, Xu Jingzong nodded slowly, and said seriously: "I also agree with Chu Siye's opinion..."

Chu Suiliang was afraid that Xu Jingzong's dismantling would delay his legs. Hearing what he said, he let out a long breath, but before he could fully let out this breath, he heard Xu Jingzong continue: "...Among the families, most of them are Pay attention to the education of the eldest son, invite famous teachers to teach them, and send various tasks to train them from an early age. There is a clear difference between the first son and the second son. Therefore, the second son and the second son who are successful in each family are indeed very rare. Therefore, I completely agree with Chu According to Si Ye's opinion, the number of concubines and second sons of each family will be greatly reduced, and it is enough for a family to keep only one place."

Chu Suiliang was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "You are deceiving people too much! Doesn't this move the old man into an unrighteous situation, and get stabbed in the back by those bastards and second sons?"
