Chapter 1547 History Is Like a Knife
"For the sake of your filial piety, I can forgive you. Jin Zha, right? Disappear from my eyes quickly. As long as you no longer appear in front of my eyes, I can let you go. Not only It's you, and your two brothers are the same. How about this and that?"
This is a lenient statement, and it is also Zhou Yi's extra favor to the three brothers. The reason for such an idea is entirely due to two considerations.
First of all, Zhou Yi is not willing to kill casually.
Since he came to heaven, he thinks that he is relatively restrained in his behavior. Except for those stumbling blocks that must be removed, such as Taiyi Tianzun, Tathagata Buddha, and Jade Emperor, he has never raised the butcher's knife casually. Taibai Jinxing and Li Tianwang are two rare exceptions.
Taibai Jinxing seeks benevolence and obtains benevolence. He wanted to die loyally, even if he didn't do it himself, I'm afraid he would crash to death in front of the Jade Emperor's grave. Therefore, instead of letting him die in grief and anger, it is better to give him a happy life directly. As for Li Tianwang, it was entirely because he was too eager to make meritorious deeds that he jumped out of the gate and blocked Zhou Yi's reform plan.
After all, Heavenly Court has a deep problem, and if you want to change it, you have to use a strong medicine. As the so-called killing chickens to scare monkeys, Zhou Yi was making such preparations, but at that time, Li Tianwang jumped out. If he didn't kill him like a chicken, he would be really sorry for him.
After all, everything can be described in one general trend. He is unwilling to kill casually, but sometimes he has to. Somebody hit it and it was his bad luck. And some people, if they can be lenient and let him go, Zhou Yi will not begrudge such a little bit of mercy and forgiveness. For example, the three Jinzha brothers are like this. To Zhou Yi, they didn't even have the qualifications to be thorns in the flesh and thorns in the eyes. So it's really no big deal to let them go. Of course, there is another consideration to this.
On the other hand, Zhou Yi didn't want to repeat Cui Zhu's mistakes.
There is such a record in the twenty-five years of Duke Xiang of Zuo Chuan that Qi Cui Zhu killed his lord, Duke Zhuang. Qi Taishi was killed by Cui Zhu because he wrote such a historical fact with his pen. Qi Taishi's two younger brothers were also truthfully recorded, and they were both killed by Cui Zhu. When it came to Taishi's third younger brother, the scholars and the people complained. Although Cui Zhu was in power, he felt uneasy. He said this to Taishi's third younger brother.
"Your three elder brothers are all dead. Aren't you afraid of death? You should follow my request and write the death of Duke Zhuang as a sudden death due to illness."
To this, Taishi's third younger brother replied in a serious manner: "According to the facts, it is the duty of the historian. It is better to die if you neglect your duty to survive. Sooner or later, what you did will be known to everyone. Even if I don't write it, It can't cover up your guilt, but it will only become the laughing stock of the ages."
Cui Zhu was speechless at what he said.
Just let him go. However, when Taishi's third younger brother came out, he happened to meet Nanshi's holding a slip of paper. Nan Shi believed that he had been killed by Cui Zhu, and he inherited his career with the determination to die.
Historic writing has always been like a knife, and Zhou Yi didn't want the historian officials above Tiangong to write down such a sum for him on his bamboo slips. The Emperor of Heaven killed his father, and the eldest son died to avenge his father. The second son also died to avenge his father and brother. The youngest son took revenge and died. Those who give up their lives with filial piety are the third son of Li Tianwang.
What, you said that the historian of Tiangong may not have the courage to risk offending the Emperor of Heaven to be so upright? Regarding this point, Zhou Yi can only give you a hehe expression.
As early as when he searched through the classics in order to find the way home, he had already discovered the rigor and fairness of the historian of Tiangong. They recorded all the absurd, scandalous, and stupid things that the Jade Emperor had done over the years. And even if it was themselves, the Heavenly Emperor who just took office, they wrote such a passage with a pen like a knife.
The Emperor of Heaven forced the palace, and the Jade Emperor abdicated. The gods were fighting, and none of them dared to speak. In the past, the eagle dog was a begging dog. Only Taibai Jinxing stood out from the crowd. He summoned Zhenjun Erlang, the nephew of the Jade Emperor, to escort him, and led the fight to defeat the Buddha Sun Wukong as his aid. They are all invincible. The Heavenly Emperor ascended the throne, and the Jade Emperor bowed his head. The emperor and his nephew had an old relationship, and the emperor of heaven gave him favors, and Erlang descended. Make a promise, and the spirit monkey will fall behind. The Emperor of Heaven wanted to descend on Taibaijinxing, but Taibaijinxing refused. Three requests from the Emperor of Heaven, still the same.
It happened that the Buddhas of the Western Heaven attacked the Heavenly Court in the name of suppressing the traitors and the side of the Qing emperor. The Jade Emperor was overjoyed and promised him with a heavy promise, intending to regain his position. The Emperor of Heaven fought against Xitian, and the Sidu Dragon God won the first battle, beheading the Four King Kongs. Erlang Zhenjun made extraordinary achievements and took the heads of Manjusri of the four Bodhisattvas in front of the battle. The Buddha was angry and wanted to surrender Erlang. The Emperor of Heaven shot out in anger, the Buddha was defeated, the Western Paradise was shattered, and the Buddhist gate was defeated. In order to survive, the Buddha Tathagata sacrificed his life in exchange for the lifeline of Buddhism. Since then, all the expectations of the Jade Emperor have become vain, except death.
When the Jade Emperor died, Taibai Jinxing generously followed him. Seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence, unswerving until death, can be biographed.
The emperor wanted to change the system, but the gods refused. General Li, the Heavenly King of Tota, upholds the wishes of the public and makes a request. The emperor refused to obey, so he sent Zhenjun Erlang to seal the god of Emperor Zhenwu as a substitute sword, and slashed General Li in front of the palace. Now that the god is dead, the gods are silent, and no one dares to speak. The emperor changed the old system drastically, and all the gods and monsters surrendered. From today's point of view, the emperor is the overlord, not the benevolent one. Sentencing legislation is considered a constraint. The means are cruel and fierce, Si Cheng is formidable. Even if the atmosphere has changed in the past two thousand years, we still don't know what to do in the future. The emperor is not the old emperor, how can the minister call for the old minister?
This is the record written by the historian above the Heavenly Court after the Zhouyi entered the Heavenly Court. Because Qin Tianjian found out from somewhere that "Taiyi is above, and the eight masters are on the list", the year name of Zhouyi, the emperor of heaven, had already become Taiyi on the day he officially ascended the throne. Therefore, in all likelihood, this record will become the content of Taiyi Ji.
In terms of content, the records of these historians are fairly pertinent. At the very least, they haven't called themselves a tyrant or a fool. This is a blessing, but looking at history in history is not something that can be seen just by looking at this chapter.
It's like Tang Benji said that Tang Taizong was wise and wise, good at accepting advice, and harmonious between the monarch and his ministers. But looking at Wei Zheng's story again, it can be seen that this is just a superficial appearance. After the death of a minister, the emperor personally smashed the tombstone and destroyed the marriage contract of the previous children. This is not a harmonious appearance. For the same reason, if there is such a passage in the biography of General Li in the Tianting Biography, then Zhou Yi's reputation may really be bad.
He didn't want to be Tang Taizong, let alone Cui Zhu. Even if he had to find someone to imitate, he hoped that he would be Zhao Xiangzi and not someone else. Although Zhao Xiangzi was stabbed by Yu Rang three times, it is definitely not a happy thing. But because of his three excuses to praise his loyal behavior, he was admired by the world.
In terms of reputation, Zhao Xiangzi is much cleaner than these two. And in the case of following the law, Zhou Yi felt that even if he couldn't get a good name by doing this, he shouldn't be infamous. And it was precisely for this reason that he was willing to be so lenient with Jin Zha and his brothers.
This is his rare mercy, but in the face of his kindness, Jin Zha does not buy his account at all. He even said that he felt deeply humiliated because of Zhou Yi's behavior.
"Enough! You let me ignore revenge, so that I can beg for mercy for you, the father-killer? You stupid king, you are wishful thinking. I would rather die than beg for mercy for you, absolutely not! "
"You are enough. I'll just say it once. Listen to me." If you don't want to kill him, it doesn't mean you can't kill him. Although Zhou Yi has a good reputation, those historians with pens like knives can show mercy to him. , but this does not mean that he will make unlimited compromises on this issue. One can be two, but not three times. So this time, it was his last tolerance.
"I let you brothers go for the sake of your filial piety. But you heard me clearly, your father died because he blocked the general trend of heaven. Under the general trend of heaven, I don't care if you No matter what reason you have, it is absolutely untenable. This is the principle of living the family and the country, and the country is before the family. Therefore, I do not regret killing your father, and you should not expect a revenge for your father to become a Your gold medal for avoiding death. Once or twice, I can let you go. But if you don’t know what to do, I don’t mind letting your Li family die, do you understand what I mean?”
"Ha! What a general trend. You stupid and incompetent tyrant, do you think that by saying this, you can stop my brother from avenging his father? You underestimate us too much. This world has never existed because of Yao, nor because of You are dead. You can't represent the world, and you can't represent the heaven. You think you are the big power in the heaven and the big number in the world. I'm sorry. You are just a selfish bastard who wants to play with the whole heaven in the palm of your hand. .Today, I will get rid of you, the tyrant, for my father and for the sake of the world. I want to restore peace to the world!"
While speaking, Jin Zha already threw out the exquisite pagoda on his body. And with this throw, as he muttered words, the entire gold-built pagoda immediately grew stronger against the wind, and it soared to a height of tens of thousands of feet in the blink of an eye.
On the pagoda, a bright pearl shines brightly, illuminating thousands of worlds. Countless Buddha lights projected from the door openings of the pagoda, like breaking through a dusty lock, reflecting the entire top of Kunlun in a clean and dust-free state.
It can be said that in just an instant, a world like the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of the Buddha's supreme supernatural power has been intervened in the entire heaven under the transmission of this pagoda. And amidst the turmoil in the entire heaven, Zhou Yi, the emperor of heaven, has already been included in the world belonging to the Linglong Pagoda.
The world in the tower is not the territory of the heavens. So naturally, the connections between Heaven and Zhouyi were also cut off. And so far, these people's calculations have finally become the most critical step. Looking at Zhou Yi who was already trapped and locked in it, Jin Zha's eyes immediately turned scarlet.
