Is history really written by the victors? During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qi had a powerful minister named Cui Zhu, whose power fell to the opposition and flew high, and even the Duke of Qi Zhuang, the ruler of the State of Qi at that time, was supported by Cui Zhu. Cui Zhu's wife is a famous beauty in the country of Qi, named Tang Jiang, but because she looked at him more in the crowd, Qi Zhuanggong could no longer forget her countenance, tossing and turning, and could not sleep at night. Finally, Qi ZhuangGong got his wish and secretly communicated with Tang Jiang, and Qi Zhuang often took advantage of Cui Zhu's absence, secretly ran to meet with Tang Jiang, and even after the matter was finished, he also took Cui Zhu's hat and rewarded others. This incident soon made Cui Zhu aware of it, and Cui Zhu held a grudge. On this day, Cui Zhu took advantage of the meeting between Qi Zhuanggong and Tang Jiang again, and arranged for 50 sword and axe bearers to hack Qi Zhuanggong to death.
After killing the Duke of Qizhuang, Cui Zhu said to the shiguan Tai Shi Bo, you write that the monarch died of a violent illness, and Tai Shi Bo did not obey. He wrote on the bamboo jane, Xia May Yihai, Cui Zhu Qijun. Cui Zhu was furious when he saw it, drew his sword and killed Tai Shi Bo, who died. According to the custom at that time, his younger brother Tai shizhong should inherit the position of shiguan. Cui Zhu said to the new historian Tai Shi Zhong, you wrote that the monarch died of a violent illness. Tai Shi Zhong also did not listen, and wrote on the bamboo jane that Cui Zhu killed qijun. Cui Zhu drew his sword again and killed Tai Shi Zhong, and then the younger brother Tai Shi Shu wrote the same words, and was killed by the angry and corrupt Cui Zhu, and finally, Cui Zhu found Shi Guan's youngest brother Tai Shi Ji and said to him, If you don't want to be cut off by the door, do as I mean, Tai Shi Ji said, it is the duty of Shi Guan to write straight books, it is better to die if you fail to survive, and how can you block the mouth of the world, history cannot be modified! This newly appointed historian dayi was awe-struck, and wrote again on the bamboo jane, Cui Zhu killed his king. In front of this iron bone, Cui Zhu flinched, put away the butcher knife in his hand, and reluctantly accepted the record of the executioner. When Tai Shi Ji walked out of Cui Zhu's house, he was surprised to find that a historian from the south had just hurried to come, he went forward to inquire, and the southern historian said, I heard about Cui Zhu in the south, killing your three brothers, I was worried that history would be tampered with, and I specially came from the south with Bamboo Jane, and when he heard that the young historian had successfully recorded the historical facts, he was relieved.
In order to repay historical justice, the Shi Guan's family can even live without their lives, and this Dan heart can show the sun and the moon. In addition, the historian from the south knew that he must be fierce and less fortunate when he went, and he could resolutely go there, which was even more admirable. This story comes from, the history of the Qi Taigong family, after more than 2,000 years, he is still so real and thick, in the history books we see today, any seemingly light and fluttering words, I don't know how much the historians have paid for this, the story of the straight book can not only be the Qi Taishi family, but also the Jin Dynasty Dong Hu, the Northern Wei historian Cui Hao, the Tang Dynasty historian Wu Jing, the Southern Song Dynasty historian Yuan Shu, it is these historians who write straight books, these real histories, can pass through thousands of years of time, be held up in front of us, Tell us about the vicissitudes he has experienced, even so, the inheritance has never been broken, and because of this, the inheritance will never stop.
Unfortunately, from the beginning of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, history has become an official revision, and history has become written by the victors! However, the story of Qi Taishi Bing's straight book has great encouragement and inspiration for future generations, and it will always encourage people to seek truth from facts and bravely pursue and adhere to the truth.
