Nan Shi (南史), a historian of the State of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period. Qi Xiang Cui Zhu ruled the state of Qi, committed adultery and no way, killed zhuang gong, and established the duke of Jing. (Zuo Chuan, Duke Xiang of Lu Xiang for twenty-five years) Ling Taishi (Qi Shiguan) Bo Yishu Zhuang Gong died. Tai Shi Bo did not comply, and the book was written in Jian Zhi: "Cui Zhu Kills Qijun (Guang)", and Cui Zhu kills it. His brother Zhongsi Shu (仲嗣書), Fushu (復書) as before, Zhu And killed him, and his other brother and uncle also replied as before, Zhu Fu and killed him, and the three deceased, his brother Ji also restored the book as before, Cui Zhu insisted on his simple name Ji Yue: "Ru Third Brother is dead, Ru Du does not love life? If you are more than that, you should be spared. Ji Zhiyue: "According to the matter straight book, Shi Shi's office is also." It is better to live out of duty than to die. "Cui Zhu is throwing simple and returning, but giving up."
Cui Zhu killed Duke Zhuang of Qi
The Nan Shi clan Wen TaiShi brothers died, "Sticking to the simple past, smelling both books and returns." From the above, it can be seen that Cui Zhu, a powerful minister of the State of Qi, killed the Duke of Qi Zhuang, and the Historian of the State of Qi truthfully recorded this incident, and Cui Zhu was angry and killed the Historian. Shi Guan's two younger brothers are also truthfully recorded, and both were killed by Cui Zhu. Cui Zhu finally threatened Shi Guan's third brother to revise the book, and after being refuted, Cui Zhu had nothing to say and had to let him go. Taishi's younger brother walked out and was confronted by Nan Shigong who came to jian, and Nan Shigong thought that he had also been killed and had come to continue to write about this matter. So forward and backward, it is truly a song for eternity!
Dong Hu was a historian of the Jin Dynasty during the Spring and Autumn Period. Jin Linggong has no way, Zhao Dun has repeatedly advised, and Linggong wants to kill Dun. Shield fled, and Hou clan member Zhao Pu killed Linggong. Shield also chao, Taishi Donghu to Zhao Dun position Zhengqing, holding the door handle, can not please thieves, holding a book: "Zhao Dun killed its Junyi Gao", to show the dynasty, shield is not strange. Confucius called it the good history of the ancients, and the calligraphy is not hidden.
Sima Qian wrote the "Records of History", and he also dared to write straight books about some of the merits of the Han Wu Emperor in the current dynasty, and was not swayed by those in power, leaving behind the masterpieces of historians!
After being convicted, Cai Yong, a great scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, voluntarily requested the punishment of engraving ink on his forehead and cutting off his feet, in order to complete the history of Han (Eastern Han) like Sima Qian. Wang Yun, the ruler, feared being badly discussed in the history books, eventually killed Cai Yong.
Tang Wu jing also wrote the "Records of Wu Hou", which recorded that Zhang Changzong persuaded Zhang to slander Wei Yuanzhong (there was a "threat to tianzi as a durable friend"), and Later Zhang said that he was serving as prime minister in the Xuanzong Dynasty and asked Wu Jing to revise it. Wu Jing said, "What is the name of the love of the public? "The pawn does not change. At that time, it was called "Dong Fox".
Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness" has "in Qi Taishi Jian, in Jin Dong Fox Pen", that is, it refers to the straight pen of Qi Tai Shi Bo, Nan Shi Shi and Jin Dong Hu.
However, the writers of history were also interfered with by those in power, and did not dare to write directly from the Tang Dynasty. Tang Taizong came to power because he launched the "Xuanwumen Mutiny", killed his brothers, and forced his father to come to power, which was not very honorable, and asked the history writer Fang Xuanling to present the repaired history book to him for viewing, Fang Xuanling helplessly modified the process of the Xuanwumen mutiny, and Emperor Taizong expressed satisfaction after reading it. And the history of the Two Tang Dynasties and the Zizhi Tongjian that we are reading now, from Li Yuan's Taiyuan Shouyi to Li Shimin's title of emperor, is not very real.
Xuanwumen Mutiny Drawing
Emperor Taizong made a bad start in the history of Guan Shi, and most of the records of the Tang Dynasty in the future were untrue. For example, when Xu Jingzong, the chancellor of the Gaozong and Wu Zetian periods, revised history, he wrote history entirely based on his own likes and dislikes, and even the people of the dynasty, including the emperor, thought it was a bit excessive.
