Chapter 921
"No hurry." Liu Xie raised his hand to stop Cai Yan. "Please come, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Cai Yan took his seat again. "Your Majesty please order."

"The "Biography of the Eunuch" is very well written and has received a lot of response. Next, we can strike while the iron is hot and start preparing for the writing of "Biography of the Party Gu."

Cai Yan was startled. "Your Majesty... want to write a biography for the party members?"

Liu Xie looked at Cai Yan in surprise. "Shouldn't it be?"

"No, I didn't mean that..."

Liu Xie went on to say: "Writing history is to learn from the past and learn from the future. Only by analyzing the gains and losses can we learn something, and we can't avoid talking about it just because it is not good. Eunuchs can create biographies, and of course party members can also create biographies."

"Hiss..." Cai Yan gasped.

She was surprised because the emperor didn't like party members, and she didn't expect that the emperor would consider writing biographies for party members so soon.But listening to the emperor, his attitude towards party members has not changed. Writing biographies for party members is the same as writing biographies for eunuchs to learn lessons.

This can be a bit of a hassle.

The reason why "Biography of the Eunuch" was widely praised, but did not cause much criticism, was because the reputation of the eunuch had always been bad, and the second was because the eunuch had been killed by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and there were no eunuchs around the emperor.Even if there are eunuchs surviving, or there are children alive, no one dares to speak out.

Partisans are different.

Party members not only have a large number of people, but also many people are in power and even hold military power.

For example Xun You.

Xun You's grandfather Xun Tan was a party member imprisoned like Yuan Kang, and his ancestor Xun Yu died with Li Ying.He has a very close relationship with the leader of the party, He Yong, and loves him like a father and son.

I am afraid it is not a good time to write "Biography of the Party Gu" at this time.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Cai Yan's forehead, and he said carefully: "Your Majesty, there are far more party members than eunuchs, and the influence is far-reaching. I am afraid that it cannot be achieved in a moment. The battle is imminent, and the outcome is not yet decided. I think it is not appropriate for your Majesty to divide. Heart, please slow down a little."

Liu Xie pondered for a moment. "Are you worried about Xun Gongda?"

Cai Yan's face turned pale, she dared not answer, and bowed to the ground.

The emperor knew this, but still put forward the request to write "Dang Gu Lie Biography", is it to force against Xun You?

She didn't believe that the emperor would be so confused, but she couldn't help being wary.

After all, the Son of Heaven is young, and under a series of victories, it is inevitable that there will be moments of frivolity.

Liu Xie turned to look at Yuan Heng with a smile on his lips. "Do you think so too?"

Yuan Heng was writing a book, and when he heard Liu Xie's words, he didn't expect that he was speaking to himself.After waiting for a while, it occurred to me that there were only three people in this tent, and since it wasn't for Cai Yan, it was only for her.

She raised her head, saw Liu Xie was looking at her, and quickly put down her pen.

"In front of Your Majesty, there is no place for a minister...to place his beak."

"It's okay."

"Wei." Yuan Heng thought about it quickly. "I think Ling Shi's worry is that there are many party members and complicated relationships, which are not comparable to eunuchs. Writing "Dang Gu Biography" must take a long time, and it is not a day's work."

Liu Xie frowned slightly and remained silent.

Cai Yan was also a little uneasy.

Yuan Heng seems to support her opinion, but not completely, he is afraid that there will be other ideas.

This little girl has always wanted to win the emperor's favor, so she wouldn't try to cater to the emperor in exchange for a promotion, would she?

Yuan Heng swallowed his saliva, and then said: "Yes, I think that the writing of "Danggu Biography" should be a comprehensive plan, and it should be planned slowly. For example, first make a list to determine who can be included in the biography, and then Choose one or two suitable people to try to write biographies, and publish them in the residence newspaper for discussion by the world."

Liu Xie frowned, and looked at Yuan Heng carefully.

He was just asking casually, but Yuan Heng gave him an unexpected answer.

This answer seems to be similar to Cai Yan's point of view, but in fact it is quite different.

She was more pragmatic, skipped the stage of whether it should be written, discussed how to write it, and hit the point.

Although there are many eunuchs, there are only a few who are truly qualified to be introduced into the biography, and most of the eunuchs are unknown.The party members are different. Once the news of writing "The Biography of the Party Gu" spreads, those who want to enter the biography may be overwhelmed.

When the imperial court issued an imperial edict to list the list of party members, countless people were proud to be included in the list, and some even wanted to be included even though they were not party members.

For example, Huangfu Gui, the leader of Liangzhou Sanming.

Therefore, determining the list of biography masters is a major project, and then collecting information and identifying authenticity is another major project.

If there is no accident, the materials provided by the descendants of the party members and the former officials must have sufficient water, and how to squeeze out the water is enough to make people quarrel.

And trying to write a biography and publishing it in the mansion newspaper is an extremely ruthless move.

The members of the party are not an iron plate, and there must be many things of fighting for fame and even turning against each other.How many people can bear it when they see their opponents enter the biography, and there are elements of praise in the biography?As long as you have black material on your hands, you won't hide it.

Liu Xie suppressed a smile and turned to look at Cai Yan. "Ling Shi, what do you think of this method?"

Cai Yan secretly glanced at Yuan Heng, who was also looking at her, and blinked.

Although he didn't know what Yuan Heng was planning, Cai Yan thought about it for a while and accepted Yuan Heng's suggestion.

Facing the emperor's request, she couldn't think of a better reason to refuse.Using Yuan Heng's method to procrastinate for a while may not be a way.

"Since this is the case, let Yuan Yu assist the minister to complete this matter. After he is a party member, it must be convenient for him."

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth trembled slightly, and he nodded in agreement.

Cai Yan got up to say goodbye and left the tent.

Yuan Heng took his seat again, and rewrote the conversation just now.

Liu Xie looked at Yuan Heng until she finished writing and put down her pen.

"You just said, choose one or two suitable people to write biographies first, who are you referring to?"

Yuan Heng bowed and said, "I think Li Yuanli and Yuan Zhongzhen are the most suitable."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty just said that although Yuan Zhongzhen's actions are careless, he has the courage to do things. He is not a person who just sits and talks about the way. Li Yuanli is similar to him, and he has both civil and military skills. He was enlisted as the General Du Liao, and the Hulu escaped in the face of the wind, and his reputation spread far and wide. Although these two men acted too radically, they are probably inseparable from the word loyalty. If their deeds can be examined, rewarded for their good deeds, and criticized for their failures, To show His Majesty's fairness, it may be able to stop slander and stop discussions, and calm the hearts of the world."

Liu Xie nodded, with some indescribable emotion.

These few words of Yuan Heng can be regarded as reaching his heart.

He asked Cai Yan to start writing "The Biography of the Party", never for the purpose of attacking the party members, let alone humiliating the party members, and arousing the resistance of the descendants of the party members and old disciples.

He's not so naive.

He just wanted to use the example of party members to further promote the ideological transformation of scholar-bureaucrats.

Party members are a relatively extreme group of scholar-bureaucrats, among whom there are many talented elites.Although their original intention of opposing the eunuchs was the fact that they were fighting for power and profit, they were not entirely for personal gain, and to some extent had the idea of ​​serving the country and the people.

It's just that they are too idealistic, and their actions are extreme, and they end up messing up.

It is his real pursuit to evaluate the Party Gu incident, clarify its gains and losses, point out the gap between ideals and reality, and the serious consequences of acting extreme.

The name "Dang Gu Lie Biography" itself shows that his attitude is consistent with that of the scholar-officials.

On the contrary, Cai Yan was a little too sensitive.
