Chapter 778

The best way to choose a historian is that this person is capable, and future generations can inherit this official position and record their daily words and deeds for the emperor from generation to generation.

The historian who always accompanies the emperor is the most special of all historians. When the emperor is awake, they must be present. Where the emperor goes, even if the emperor is courting, they must be present, and prepare tools to record the emperor's words and deeds anytime and anywhere.

It is not that there are no other historians except those who accompany the emperor at all times. The historians who accompany the king at all times are called Taishi at the beginning, followed by a new name, which is different in almost every dynasty.

In fact, there are quite a number of historians in any dynasty, but they are responsible for different aspects. They are generally subordinate to the same organization. In the early stage, the official office was named "taishiliao", and the Taishi was established as the chief official. There are also minor history, internal history, foreign history and royal history. Only later did they undergo many reforms.

When Liu Yan wants to become emperor, he absolutely needs the existence of personal historians to record his words and deeds, which is mainly left to the descendants of the royal family, especially the princes of previous dynasties. Take a good look at what the founding monarch is doing at ordinary times, which is not for ordinary people in future generations.

Want to see the emperor's daily record after the change of dynasties, if the country is not finished, the emperor's daily record of a country can't be read by anyone at all, and even the Emperor himself can't read it, let alone modify it.

Zhuxia has a habit, that is, the later Dynasty writes history for the previous dynasty, that is, any dynasty that replaces the previous dynasty. They will certainly not sing praises to the dynasty they overthrew. On the contrary, they will try their best to discredit it, no matter whether it was done by the people of the previous dynasty or not, or what shit pots are buckled up, so as to show that it is absolutely correct and great to overthrew the previous dynasty.

There must be a reason for the demise of any dynasty, but the existence of any dynasty must have its achievements. The problem is that in the face of political correctness, those achievements are not even farts.

"I'm looking for historians. One is to make history for Jin, Zhao, Dai, Liang, Cheng and Yan, and the other is to enrich the bureaucrats." Liu Yan doesn't need any deliberate posturing, even with a smile on his face. He looks incomparably warm, but the people he faces are all sweating: "I heard that Xi and sun are familiar with history?"

Xi chisel teeth and Sun Sheng just feel that there is a great pressure at the moment. If they are too nervous, they secrete too much sweat from the pores. They are not only full of sweat, but all over the body are wet with sweat. They are sticky and can't have strange actions, let alone how uncomfortable it is.

Of course, there are no serious historians now. With the demise of the Western Han Dynasty, this profession has long ceased to have continuity. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people in Taishi mansion have changed one crop after another. There really is no historian family.

To say that recording history was an extremely important thing in ancient times. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, its status declined again and again. The most obvious thing is that the "Taishi" no longer acts as a Sangong, not even one of the nine Qing Dynasties, not even its own independent government.

After the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Three Kingdoms stood side by side, the historians were simply cut off, and their official names were changed to Zhu zuolang, which was subordinate to Zhongshu province.

Jin usurped Wei and merged Shu Han and Eastern Wu. It may be that Sima's family also felt that what they did was not authentic. Once again, they weakened the existence of historiographers, changed from writing zuolang to big works, and the official position was reduced to become a subordinate department of the Secretary province.

Liu Yan did not feel that he had any virtue or loss. Even if he ended the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was also the end of a dynasty born unjustly and destined to die of shame. There was really nothing to be ashamed of future generations. Moreover, he also knows the importance of history. He must improve the status of historians again, but he will not let historians do things that are not his own business.

The former imperial censor was one of the official positions of "taishiliao". In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the imperial censor was specially picked out and assigned back. It's not appropriate. It's that the imperial envoy doctor is one of the three princes. So should the imperial censor order be higher than the rank of the three princes? That's impossible!

At the same time, it is not appropriate to subordinate historians to a department. Historians must have independent rights. Only if they will not be interfered, can they ensure the seriousness of recording history.

In fact, Liu Yan did not listen to the opinions of the ministers after discussing with the ministers. He restored the existence of the Taishi department, set the Taishi order as the chief official, and then set up the Shaoqing, Shaoqing letter and executive order to command their respective departments, and each has its own responsibilities.

Although Taishiling is the supreme head of the Taishi department, he is actually the curator of a library.

Shaoqing is responsible for administrative management, as well as money and grain control.

Shaoqingshu is a person who always follows the emperor. Sima Qian in history served as this official position.

To put it bluntly, it is the officials at the grass-roots level who are responsible for commanding the clerks and attendants of the Taishi office.

After listening to Liu Yan's words, Xi chiseled his teeth and Sun Sheng began to play all over. They were not afraid, but excited to control their bodies.

Make history of the Fallen Dynasty? As a literati, I don't know what it is. Who presides over or participates in it is bound to be a cause that will be famous in history. That is, being able to participate in writing history in the contemporary era is equal to being recognized as a talent. When I live, I'm destined to be envied and respected. I can pass on my name to future generations when I die. Can Xi chisel his teeth and Sun Sheng not be excited?

Xi zuoki is from Xiangyang. His family has been a rich family in Jingchu for generations. Xi Yu is the most famous and beautiful ancestor.

Xi Yu was born at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. Wang Mang followed Liu Xiu during the chaotic political period. At first, he was a waiter. The servant is the close secretary of the emperor. Although the official position is small, the influence is not low at all. To some extent, even the prime minister should not be treated carefully. If you offend the servant, the servant who always serves the emperor and seizes the opportunity to give a pair of small shoes can definitely make the prime minister uncomfortable.

If history had not been changed by Liu Yan, waiting for Huanwen to start attacking Li's Chenghan in Bashu, Xi qiaochi would have been recruited by Huanwen and worked under Huanwen until Huanwen's mind was on behalf of Jin.

Liu Yan has learned about Xi Zuoge from LV Yi, Yu Yi, Wang Xizhi and other people. People may use different words and sentences for Xi Zuoge's evaluation, but the general evaluation is the same. They say Xi Zuoge is a very talented person.

Xi zuoki is indeed a very talented person. In history, he served Huanwen at the beginning, then left Huanwen to hibernate for a period of time, and took up the post of governor of Xingyang. He waited for the rise of Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty. He didn't want to work for Fu Jian to recluse in the mountains and forests. He was evaluated by the world for his talent and learning, which was not inferior to Lu Ji and Lu Yun. The latter two were very famous scholars of the former Qin Dynasty.

Coincidentally, Sun Sheng was also recruited by Huanwen in history. Before he worked for Huanwen, he worked as a Liao assistant for Ren taokan, Yu Liang and Yu Yi. It can be said that none of the people who worked for him was not capable. He was repeatedly recruited by great powers, which is enough to prove his talent and learning.

Sun Sheng looks very gentle, but he is really not a scholar with no strength to bind chickens. Liu Yan also got information about this from the relevant understanding. Sun Sheng is a figure who can write and take charge of politics and Wu can go to Ma Tongbing.

Liu Yanzhao's teeth chiseling is purely to recruit into the Taishi mansion. He has more expectations for Sun Sheng. People who are capable of writing and martial arts will always give the rulers a higher look.

In the face of Liu Yan's invitation, Xi chiseled his teeth and accepted respectfully.

Sun Sheng was under great pressure under Liu Yan's eyes. He bit his teeth and didn't give in. He knelt down and begged: "to the son of heaven, although Xiao Min is familiar with history, he is better at military affairs."

All the people looked at Sun Sheng. They admired Sun Sheng's courage very much. They refused to go out of office and enter Taishi mansion and asked Liu Yan to appoint an army.

"In that case, it's just the Taishi mansion." Liu Yancai would not lose his share and make a furious move on the spot. As if he had not heard Sun Sheng's request, he turned to Xiang Jichang and said, "Xi chiseled his teeth and handed it over to the prime minister?"

Ji Chang glanced at Sun Sheng without leaving a trace. His eyes stayed on Xi chisel's teeth for a breath and smiled at Liu Yanying: "promise."

Sun Sheng still knelt down, but Liu Yan walked away, and the rest followed Liu Yan's walking.

The temple of heaven has been isolated, and the workers who used to work nearby have also been taken away. With Liu Yan as the center, many soldiers have been on guard around for a long time.

Let Liu Yan do some people-friendly actions after his identity is exposed, such as shaking hands with the people? Even if he is willing to do it, the officials around him will die. It's not modern, nor is it a relationship that people don't dislike. One of the reasons is that people can't act suddenly. The other is that people don't even dare to look at it. If Liu Yan really wants to walk over, do you believe it or not?

So, most of the time, it's not whether Liu Yan has that heart or not, nor whether the ministers accept it or not. It's really the matter that the people are really "European, I can't remember, European chicken". (CAI Shaofen's stem)

Liu Yan was about to leave the temple of heaven. He was just separated by soldiers. He shook his hands to the people from a distance. The next moment, he responded with the voice of "long live" like a mountain and tsunami.

People far away, hearing the "long live" cry, looked puzzled at the direction of the sound.

These days, "Viva" can only shout to the emperor. If you encounter something happy, you can shout "Viva" a few times. Even if you are unhappy, you can shout "Viva". There is no taboo.

"What happened?"

"I don't know!"

"Is it dinner tonight?"

"Maybe...?"

People who participate in all kinds of work in Chang'an, old and new, eat and drink by the public. It can't be said how good the food will be, that is, they won't be hungry. When there is a festival, the official will add some meals with great humanity. I dare not say big fish and meat, but it is also a kind of intention to have more meat flavor in the soup.

"Today is not a festival, is it?" Shi Zhong patted the mud on his hands, bent down and patted the mud on his trouser legs. When he stood up, he continued: "which project should be completed?"

"The meat buns over there are delicious." Zhang Ding accepted Shi Zhong's second guess and thought of meat steamed stuffed bun and licked his lips: "why don't you... Buy some when you leave work?"

Shi Zhong hesitated for a moment before nodding. He wanted to save money to buy a house in new Chang'an.

The national project not only drives workshops, but also drives many industries unrelated to industry, such as catering industry.

Shi Zhong and Zhang Ding can't afford to consume high-end restaurants. While eating delicacies, listening to the music of silk and bamboo, they can also watch songs and dances. That's the life of rich people. They can envy, but they are just envy. It's too far away. For them, the meat steamed stuffed buns of Ren's second sister-in-law's family only need a few copper coins, which can be enjoyed in their mouth.

Shi Zhong and others listened to the increasingly excited "long live" voice in the distance. They felt something different. At the same time, they didn't know what had happened long ago.

"Son of heaven..." Zhang Ding was stunned on his face: "coming?"

Shi Zhong has been completely stunned, and the others are almost the same.

The son of heaven is too far away from the people, almost one heaven and one earth. The usual word "son of heaven" is equal to the sky above your head. You can never touch it with your hand.

In the understanding of the people, the son of heaven is their patriarch and the master of their life. No one will easily say the word "son of heaven" from his mouth. Even when he wants to say it, no one is nervous or excited, just as the son of heaven can really monitor everything in heaven and earth all the time, and dare not have the slightest disrespect.

"Long live!" Zhang Ding suddenly howled and startled the people around him. Before it was finished, he shouted, "long live!"

As reminded by Zhang Ding, everyone shouted with him. They also joined the shouting ocean and contributed the volume with people from afar.

Shi Zhongzhen never thought that the emperor would patrol the construction site. At that moment, even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he suddenly felt that the emperor was no longer a title. When he felt closer, he should be in awe or awe, but a sense of closeness also came out.

In the palace city, Cui Wan was chatting with tuobaxiu at home. Several children nearby were noisy. The cry outside came, and they were stunned.

The harem could hear it. It didn't make sense, but it couldn't be heard in the rest of the government offices in the palace city. All officials and bureaucrats stopped working one after another and listened to the cry of the mountain and tsunami with various postures and attitudes.

"Mother, what are they shouting?" Liu Shengang was chasing and playing with his brothers and sisters. He was attracted by the news. He didn't understand, so he ran to Cui Wan and asked, "is he praising his father?"

The sound covered up the footsteps of Zhang Lan, Sang Miao and Xie Daoyi. The three appeared excitedly. In the past, no one communicated first. Five women, including Cui Wan and tuobaxiu, held hands one after another.

"I want it too!"

"Little boy, go away."

Liu Fu, Liu Yan's fourth daughter, almost didn't cry, but she was protected by Liu Shen and walked aside, looking at several excited elders inexplicably.

Cui Wan listened, excited and implicit, lowered her voice and said, "steady."

What's stable? It's the Liu family's stability.
