The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2122 Li Shimin's merits and demerits

With the continuous copying of Zi Zhi Tong Jian, Li Yin also knew about what Li Shimin did.

In this regard, he has no special feeling.

Di Renjie, on the other hand, thought it was not good for Li Shimin to do so.

So, Di Renjie called Li Yin and talked about Zi Zhi Tong Jian.

Di Renjie said: "Sir, we typed up the Zizhi Tongjian word by word through manpower, and you sorted it out. The hard work involved is not something ordinary people can meet, and His Majesty's doing this is obvious to us. The work has brought bad influence, and he also made a bad start, which will have a very profound impact on the support of the people for the genuine version in the future."

Li Min didn't care.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before he will think about copying Zizhi Tongjian."

"why?"

"Because the Zizhi Tongjian is very neutral. What you did well and what you did not do well will be expressed in a very middle-class manner, that is, the merits and demerits. It will be written in it. If you let him see his faults Not much, I guess he will ask people to rewrite a history, at least in the history of the Tang Dynasty, he will still pursue the general correctness he imagined. Zizhi Tongjian is obviously not as correct as he thought, so I I think he won't copy it any more."

"But what about other dynasties?"

"Other dynasties? It's too late for him to pay attention to this dynasty, how could he pay so much attention!" Li Yin said again.

But Di Renjie still doesn't quite understand.

But what can he do.

"How is Wei Zheng's situation now? How is your handover with him?"

Li Yin asked about Wei Zheng again. Wei Zheng has been working with Di Renjie on the handover for a while.

It's been a while now.

"Wei Zheng is very smart, and he accepts things to a higher degree than ordinary people. Moreover, during this period of time, he has become much younger and his memory has improved a lot."

This is also because of the immortality medicine that Li Shimin gave him some time ago, so he became much younger.

Then this is a good thing for Shengtang Group.

The younger he is, the longer he can do it.

And there is Shengtang Group's medical treatment, so I am not afraid at all.

"That's fine, I'll go back after a while, and when I come to Dongzhou again, you can come with me."

"Really? That would be great."

"It's true, I won't lie."

"Okay, I'll talk to Wei Zheng again. Waiting for the return of my husband."

Di Renjie said happily.

"Okay, let's do this first."

After Li Yin hung up the phone, Di Renjie went to Wei Zheng to hand over the work.

He wanted him to quickly accept this way of working.

At this time, in the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin was frowning and looking at a booklet.

At this time Fang Xuanling stood beside him in a little embarrassment.

Because this booklet is a copy of Zi Zhi Tong Jian.

The above is a copy of the major events of Datang from its establishment to the present.

Because Zi Zhi Tong Jian is too fair.

Fair enough to be unacceptable at times.

For example, Li Shimin, he strongly disagrees with some of the things written in it.

But he didn't say much about his good side.

"Is this really what Zizhi Tongjian wrote?" Li Shimin asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's it. Every word written here is copied by Zizhi Tongjian, and the minister has also reviewed it."

Fang Xuanling said so.

"This little note, I agree with the points in it very much." Li Shimin said again.

"What does His Majesty mean?"

"It is written in the book that the rule of Zhenguan was the beginning of the great Tang Dynasty. I agree with this point."

Generally speaking, when it comes to this, it is almost the same.

However, Li Shimin said part of it, and part he didn't mention.

This made Fang Xuanling a little worried.

If you don't mention it, it means that what you say later may not be a good word.

"I took a look at it. There are many good things, and they are fair. Take a look, I sorted it out."

Li Shimin even sorted out his notes.

You can feel that he really cares.

As mentioned above in Zi Zhi Tong Jian, during the reign of Zhenguan, Li Shimin adopted a series of policy measures, which made the country stable and prosperous.

During the reign of Zhenguan, Li Shimin paid great attention to the selection and use of talents.He recruited talents widely and used them extensively in the court.

The second is the imperial examination, although the imperial examination in the past two years has attracted fewer and fewer people.

But before Li Yin founded the Shengtang Group, this imperial examination did advance a large number of talents for Li Shimin.With talents, it will be more convenient to manage Datang.

Third, Li Shimin established border defense facilities and strengthened the management of border areas, enabling better control and management of border areas.

Fourth, Li Shimin also made great efforts to standardize the taxation system.He strictly controlled the collection and management of taxes by local officials, and at the same time, in order to ease the burden on the people, he eased the pressure on the people to pay taxes.

His credit is not small, but there are also some faults.

This is Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, the Zizhi Tongjian is very fair!" Fang Xuanling said hastily.

"just?"

Li Shimin didn't care.

"Go on and look at these, what are cruel methods?"

Li Shimin asked back.

What is written in Zi Zhi Tong Jian is very straightforward.

In the process of expanding the territory and stabilizing the country, Li Shimin adopted some cruel methods, such as massacring cities and rewarding meritorious service. Although these methods achieved his goal, they also brought great pain to the people.

It was one of his faults.

Fang Xuanling didn't know what to say.

Because it is also true.

"Shouldn't they be a little more secretive? If I keep writing like this, people will scare me when I go out in the future. Who will dare to face me in the future?"

Li Shimin said again, yes, that is indeed the case, but that is not what Li Shimin said before.

Fang Xuanling also persuaded Li Shimin not to read history books, but he wanted to read them. Now, he can't accept what a fair Zizhi Tongjian said, so what are you talking about.

"Your Majesty, this..." Fang Xuanling really wanted to say, you asked me to do this, but we wrote it down truthfully.

"Look at this again. What is over-expansion? What does it mean? I fight wars for the sake of the people, and I know the burden of war on national strength. But if you want stability, can you not fight?"

During Li Shimin's reign, many wars and conquests were carried out, which caused the Tang Dynasty's national power to be overwhelmed and brought unbearable pressure to the Tang Dynasty.

Although this pressure was relieved by the intervention of Shengtang Group, Zi Zhi Tong Jian was still written down.

Regarding this point, Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied.

"What else is the expansion of imperial power, and what is bureaucratic corruption? Isn't power in your own hands?"

Li Shimin puts too much emphasis on imperial power.

He is used to everything in his own hands.

As a result, his powers swelled too much.

On this point, Zi Zhi Tong Jian still wrote it truthfully.

How could Li Shimin be satisfied with such a history book.

"And these, what do you mean by killing palace people! Strict laws! Political persecution! What do these mean? Ah?"

Li Shimin is going crazy.

Fang Xuanling did not speak, but this is indeed something that happened.

In terms of political power, Li Shimin exposed his dictatorial side, making his rule questioned and disgusted by some people.

And he also enacted many harsh laws and punishment measures, such as "the thief will be beheaded", "the traitor will destroy the house", etc., which also caused some social problems.

Many things written by Zizhi Tongjian made Li Shimin very angry.

But this happens to be the truth.

Although he is upset, what can he do.

In Li Shimin's opinion.

"What Zizhi Tongjian wrote is unfair, Fang Xuanling!"

"The minister is here."

"Change! Change Zizhi Tongjian's part about the Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin said again.

Fang Xuanling was about to cry.

When I was studying history before, I was interrupted by Li Shimin. I thought this was the end of this incident, but I didn't think this was just the beginning.

For now, Li Shimin also asked him to change the Zizhi Tongjian part of the Tang Dynasty.

That is indeed very difficult.

This is not something that can be done in a day or two.

It is very difficult to change the history of the Tang Dynasty alone, because Li Shimin is still in power.

As long as the reform is not good, Li Shimin will still intervene.

If it's Li Yuan's part, that's easy to say.

Fang Xuanling sighed, didn't he agree that he should not be influenced?
Why is it different from what Li Shimin said before?

This made Fang Xuanling very embarrassed.

But if he thinks from Li Shimin's point of view, it may be different.

There is some truth to what he said.

If it is said that everyone is afraid of him, then the future is really a promise.

"Also, this Zizhi Tongjian is on the mobile phone. You need to explain to the Shengtang Group that the Tang part cannot be serialized! Go and tell the Shengtang Group, otherwise, you will be severely punished."

Li Shimin said again.

After all, the content on mobile phones can spread too widely.

I don't know how many people have seen it now.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"I want you to go to Shengtang Group now. Let them deal with it." Li Shimin said again.

Obviously, he was anxious, very anxious.

This must be dealt with.

"Your Majesty, then... I will deal with this matter now."

"Go ahead, hurry up, you know?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Thus, Fang Xuanling left the palace and headed towards Shengtang Group.

Li Shimin picked up the Zizhi Tongjian again and checked it.

At this time, Fang Xuanling quickly went to Shengtang Group.

When he arrived, Di Renjie and Wei Zheng were handing over work there.

When Fang Xuanling saw Wei Zheng, he was very surprised.

"Wei Zheng, you are much younger."

"Indeed, I feel the same way. Recently, my body is getting better and better."

Wei Zheng said so.

"People say that people are in high spirits on happy occasions, and I think that's how it is." Then he continued.

Obviously, here he found his niche.I found my strengths.

"Working in Shengtang Group can help you find confidence. My husband doesn't scold people, but he asks everyone to be responsible. People who work here are very proactive."

Di Renjie said again.

At this time Fang Xuanling nodded.

Then he said: "Di Renjie, can I take a step to speak?"

"Of course, what do you want to say!"

Di Renjie replied generously.

"Your Majesty has a request regarding Zi Zhi Tong Jian." Fang Xuanling said.

"Speaking of Zizhi Tongjian, your court is too sloppy. This book was sorted out by Mr., and it took a long time to compile it, but you gave it to me. Copy it down, it's not good to do so."

Fang Xuanling felt very ashamed.

But he didn't do this, it was Li Shimin.

"I'm very sorry about this, but this is His Majesty's intention, and I can't control it. If possible, you can talk to Your Majesty."

This guy is very good at talking. If Di Renjie is asked to go to Li Shimin, he will have to fight.

Di Renjie is not stupid either.

Why has to be this way.

Therefore, Di Renjie said: "About this matter, I just want to remind you that what your court has done may bring down the social atmosphere. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, yes, I understand. I will persuade His Majesty on this point."

What more can he say.

What Li Shimin wants to do, he really can't control it.

But I can't help but say that.

"Mister doesn't care about it, but we can't ignore it. I will take care of Shengtang Group if you hand it over to me, so please understand."

"Yes yes yes, I understand."

"By the way, what's the matter you came to see me, please tell me!"

Di Renjie asked again.

"It's like this. Your Majesty thinks that the description in the Zizhi Tongjian is a bit inappropriate. He thinks that the part of the Zizhi Tongjian about Tang should be closed first, so that no one can read it. So, I'm here to discuss with you. How about it."

Fang Xuanling said so.

Wei Zheng probably understood what was going on.

Because he had been with Li Shimin for too long, he knew exactly what Li Shimin's temperament was.

But for Datang, no one is more attentive than Li Shimin.

Because this is his country, he has to guard his country well, of course he has to do better.

As for his means, it was still because of Datang's power.

"This? I'm afraid I need to talk to Mr. Di Renjie." Di Renjie said.

Fang Xuanling immediately said: "Your Majesty is very firm on this matter, so no matter what, it must be closed."

What he meant by that was that he didn't come here to discuss with Di Renjie, but to inform him.

How could Di Renjie not understand.

"I know, I will mention it to my husband." Di Renjie said.

Fang Xuanling still did not leave.

"Why not now? Talk to your husband now."

Di Renjie has a very important matter to discuss with Wei Zheng. If Fang Xuanling doesn't leave, it will affect him.

But now Li Yin is still resting, so there is no need for him to bother.

Since Di Renjie said: "Well, I will close the Datang part first, and then I will discuss it with my husband later. If the husband says it can be closed, then we will permanently close the Datang part. If the husband says he wants to open it, I will contact you again." how?"

When Fang Xuanling heard it, it seemed possible.

"That's fine, then it's settled. I'm leaving first, and I want to talk to Your Majesty."

"Okay, no more!" After Di Renjie finished speaking, he chatted with Wei Zheng again.

Fang Xuanling went to the palace.
