Chapter 746 The Temptation I Can't Refuse (Please Subscribe!)

...

Zhao Mingcheng did not say anything about his departure, but only said that after Wang returned to the inner room and saw Li Qingzhao, he found that Li Qingzhao was still crying.

The Wang family hated iron but said: "Is it worth shedding tears for Zhao Mingcheng's trash?"

Li Qingzhao wiped away his tears, and said in a calm tone: "I am not crying for him, but for myself. Unexpectedly, my wife has failed so much, and my husband has no nostalgia for me."

Wang said: "My good sister, I don't know whether you are really stupid or fake. If Zhao Mingcheng's trash really has a nostalgia for you, then you will be in pain. Can you go back to the past?"

When she said this, Wang looked at Li Qingzhao's lower abdomen.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao touched his lower abdomen subconsciously, and then said in disbelief and worry: "Although he is a little cowardly, he is not a bad person, nor is he a waste, otherwise he would not be able to be a magistrate... Um, can I conceive after only three times? Could it be that Doctor Mu made a wrong diagnosis?"

(The imperial doctor Mou is not Mou Jie, but Mou Lingling, the only daughter of Mou Jie. She has received the true biography of the three great doctors of An Daoquan, Mou Jie, and Kong Hou. She has superb medical skills and is now the head of female medical officials in the harem.)
Wang said: "I haven't been able to conceive my sister for 20 years. It's not a waste. You don't have to speak for him anymore. Facts speak louder than words. Now that you and I are pregnant, it can only show that he and I are both pregnant." Qin Hui is the same, they are all trash... There are conceived in the palace every now and then, and they are all cut off by Imperial Physician Mou. Over the years, Imperial Physician Mou has never missed a single person, and it happened to be you who made the mistake, so you put Keep your heart in your belly."

Li Qingzhao stroked his lower abdomen and said, "It's like a dream. I never thought that I would be pregnant one day!"

Wang reminded Li Qingzhao: "Don't be too happy too early. Doctor Mou can tell you that you are older, and giving birth to a child is tantamount to risking your life. You need to adjust your body, otherwise you will not be able to give birth to this child, and you still need to control it." Diet, don't let the child be too big, too big is not easy to give birth."

Li Qingzhao said resolutely: "This ghost gate, I have to break through everything, I don't want to leave this regret in my life!"

Wang Shi said: "Actually, elder sister, you don't need to be so worried. I heard that when Concubine Xiao Xian and Concubine Xiao Gui were pregnant, Imperial Physician Mou also said similar things, but in the end they gave birth to the child well."

Li Qingzhao said: "Can it be the same? They have all given birth before, and they were only 34 or [-] years old when they gave birth. The risk is much lower. I have never been pregnant and I am older than them. The risk may be several times that of theirs. "

Wang said: "That's why you should move into the palace, so that Imperial Physician Mou can take care of you all the time. Besides, next to the harem is the Imperial Medical Bureau, which gathers the best doctors in the world today. You are really in danger. They will be able to save you, too."

After hearing this, Li Qingzhao hesitated and said, "I really want to enter the palace?"

From the perspective of personal interests, the Wang family really hoped that Li Qingzhao would enter the palace, so that she, who was alone and lonely, would have a helper in the harem.

Based on this, Wang said: "Sister, don't mind if I tell you some heartfelt words... Although you look young, you are actually not young. The official likes you, maybe because of your beauty." , It may be because of your talent, or it may be because of your fame, but these are all temporary. After a long time, the freshness of the official family has passed, and you are not with the official family, maybe he will take you slowly. Forget, you also know that there is no shortage of women around him."

Wang's words pierced into Li Qingzhao's heart like a sharp sword, making Li Qingzhao's heart ache, and he hated: "Why can't I be born more than ten or twenty years later?"

Seeing the painful look on Li Qingzhao's face, Wang's tone changed, and he said again: "However, sister, you don't have to worry, those little girls have their advantages, and we also have ours. If we fight, we may not lose." they."

Li Qingzhao asked: "What advantages do we have?"

Hearing Li Qingzhao's unconfident words, Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and said, "Please, sister, you are the most talented woman today. There are countless people who admire your talent and learning, and even great heroes like officials are also admired by your talent." So fascinated to get you by any means, how can your advantage be compared to those little girls who don't understand anything?"

Hearing what Wang said, Li Qingzhao's self-confidence instantly recovered, and he thought, "That's right, there are so many teenage girls. I, Li Qingzhao, am the only one in the world!"

Wang said again: "Some time ago, that is, before I left the palace, I heard that the official family wanted to find a female official to be his historian. With my sister's talent and learning, as long as I talk to the official family, I will definitely get this position."

Throughout the Chinese dynasties, there have been official positions dedicated to recording and compiling history, collectively referred to as historians.

The titles and classifications of historians in different dynasties are different, but the main ones can be divided into two categories: recording and compilation.

When historians first appeared and for a long time in the development process, there was no big difference between the two. Later, they evolved into living annotated historians and historians who were responsible for records. The former accompanied the emperor to record the emperor's words and deeds and the gains and losses of government affairs. , which specialized in compiling the history of previous dynasties.

What Wang said was the former.

Li Yan didn't like those old men who followed him every day, so he wanted to find a female official to record his words, deeds and government affairs.

Although the official historian is not a big official, this position is very popular among literati, especially those great Confucians.

Historians have a good tradition of "holding straight writing", especially after the birth of a special historian like Sima Qian, this has become the character and morality that later generations of historians have inherited.

Historians all know that "historical affairs are the work, exhortations are given, and the wind of trees is heard", "the husband's so-called straight writers do not conceal evil, and do not pretend to be beautiful. Books are beneficial to praise and criticism, and not writing will not harm admonition." The words and deeds of the emperors must be recorded at any time. No matter whether you "raise" it correctly or not, you must "write it directly". Even if the butcher's knife is placed on their necks, they must tell the truth and not tell lies , That is to say, "it is better to destroy jade for orchid than for Xiao Fu and Ai Rong", and absolutely not "lan and ai are mixed, and nobles and purples are not distinguished".

The famous historians and their works can all be famous through the ages, such as Sima Qian compiled "Historical Records", Ban Gu compiled "Han Shu", Chen Shou compiled "Three Kingdoms", Fan Ye compiled "Hou Han Shu", Sima Guang and his disciples compiled "Historical Records" Zizhitongjian".

As a literati with pursuit, Li Qingzhao couldn't refuse the temptation of official historian.

however--

There was another temptation that Li Qingzhao couldn't refuse, and was soon thrown out by Wang!
Mrs. Wang quickly said again: "And I also heard that the officials want to borrow all the books in the world and edit a masterpiece. Since the book contract, the classics and history have collected hundreds of books. As for astronomy, topography, yin and yang, medicine and divination, The words of monks, Taoism, and skills are compiled into one book, which will become an encyclopedia and bequeathed to future generations."

After hearing this, Li Qingzhao slapped his chair and stood up, saying, "Is this really true?"

Wang said: "Why did I lie to you? Besides, you can also ask the officials yourself. Maybe the officials will ask you to preside over the compilation of this great canon."

After hearing Wang's casual words, Li Qingzhao couldn't help feeling yearning and said: "If this is the case, how lucky I will be!"
