Wu Liang's flattery really touched the heart of Boss Cao.

Compiling a history book that is more true and accurate than "Tai Shi Gong Ji" will definitely have a profound impact on future generations. If this book can be written, it will be named after him.

Then it is certain that his name will remain in history.

Boss Cao is actually a person who values ​​fame very much. He had been discriminated against and criticized by nobles and celebrities because of his life experience as a eunuch. In order to silence these people, he also ordered the killing of many people. The result was not only that there was no It played a positive role, but it also brought some negative effects.

For example, Zhang Miao rebelled this time. Although Boss Cao refused to admit it, he knew better than anyone else that this was caused by the negative impact of killing people.

But compiling history books is completely different.

This historical book, which is more true and accurate than "Tai Shi Gong Ji", has irreplaceable value. It will definitely be sought after and sung by the gentry all over the world in the future, and his name will definitely be known to the gentry all over the world together with this history book. This is a blessing. After his achievements for thousands of generations, how many people will care about his life as a eunuch at that time?

Besides.

Sima Qian, who wrote "Tai Shi Gong Ji", suffered corruption in his early years and had already become a eunuch. How many people in later generations care about his eunuch status?

What's more, I'm just a eunuch, and this is not a choice I can make...

Thinking about this, Boss Cao was a little excited and said with a smile: "Since you have such ambitions, I should have written to the court to make you a 'Tai Shi Ling'. When Sima Zichang (Sima Qian) came to this position, In my eyes, you are my eldest son, but you have already stated that you do not want to be an official in the court. I cannot force you, but I cannot teach you that your name is not justified, so I have to temporarily aggrieve you and grant you a title. He became the 'General of the State Council'."

Damn it!

Why the hell did he become the "General of the Department of History" again?

Where is the promised "Faqiu Zhonglang General" and the promised "Faqiu Yin"?

Although Wu Liang had already suspected that this thing was the legendary "Faqiu Seal" after getting the "Tai Gong Seal", he still had some expectations for it in his heart.

But now Boss Cao named the military ranks of two miscellaneous Zhonglang Generals, but he still failed to name "Faqiu Zhonglang General".

Wu Liang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and a little anxious.

Could it be because my appearance and actions changed the direction of history?

If I had not forcibly implemented the transformation of the Heren Army, Boss Cao would still have to rely on the gold and treasures obtained by the Heren Army from robbing tombs to maintain military pay. Would the result be different?

After all, the so-called "faqiu" means "excavation" and "qiu" means "grave".

The two words together mean "excavating the grave".

And now, with Wu Liang's efforts, Boss Cao finally expressed that he wanted to make the Hu Renjun "justifiable", so naturally the word "Faqiu", which is not accepted by the world, cannot be associated with the Hu Renjun and him. Together, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause a lot of criticism.

so……

"What, you're not satisfied?"

Seeing Wu Liang frowning slightly and not thanking him for a long time, Boss Cao asked doubtfully.

"My subordinates dare not!"

Wu Liang came back to his senses and bowed quickly, "How can my subordinates be dissatisfied when Ming Gong praises them so much? It's just that when I first heard about this military rank, it was a bit awkward. 'Si Shi' sounds like a civil official, while 'Zhonglang' sounds like a civil servant." "It sounds like a military attaché, and when you put the two together, it feels a bit contradictory."

"Hahaha, this is what I did intentionally."

Boss Cao looked at him sideways and laughed, "You can not only excavate the ancient tomb that narrowly escaped death for me, but also compile a history book for me, don't you mean that you are good at martial arts and writing? Besides... you have to think clearly, Sima

The son's "Taishi Ling" is already at the pinnacle of historians and is subordinate to Taichang. His annual salary is only 600 dan, while the annual salary of any Zhonglang general is 2,000 dan. If you choose this official position yourself, do you want to

What choice to make?”

"It's better to be General Zhonglang. Thank you Ming Gong."

Wu Liang quickly bowed and thanked him.

"That's right. From now on, you will specifically search for historical sites and ancient books in various places, and strive to record the affairs of the past and present truthfully. No one is allowed to interfere with you. This book does not need to be made public before it is written. Even I am no exception.

"

Boss Cao nodded with satisfaction, and then added, "As for whether gold and jewelry can be found when excavating the ancient tomb, I will no longer force you to do your best."

"I understand that I will live up to my high expectations!"

Wu Liang responded.

Until now, he still didn't know how to induce Boss Cao to say "Faqiu Zhonglang Jiang", so he had to comfort himself that the "Tai Gong Seal" was the legendary "Faqiu Seal".

Now that he has the "Faqiu Seal" and has been promoted to "Zhonglang General", he can barely be regarded as recreating history.

Unexpectedly, Wu Liang had just finished consoling himself, but Boss Cao suddenly laughed and said to himself: "I think that since I started the army, I have been blocked everywhere and everything has not gone smoothly. Only in the past six months or so, I have secretly established the Hu army.

From the time when the tomb of King Xiao of Liang was excavated, not only did I get such a talented and blessed general, everything I encountered could be turned into good luck, and all my wishes came true, which led to today's situation. Recently, I have been thinking about what I have now.

Everything comes from Qiu, which is called 'Fa Qiu' for short."?!

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang's head trembled suddenly.

Appeared!

The word "Faqiu" finally appeared!

So, isn't the "General Faqiu Zhonglang" he has been thinking about completely hopeless?

And the so-called "faqiu" actually does not mean "excavating ancient tombs", but does it mean "prospering in mounds"?

"You are talented, you will suffer more injustice."

Boss Cao turned around, patted Wu Liang's shoulder again, and said earnestly, "When one day I put down the chaos in the world and no one dares to criticize me anymore, I will definitely not forget your contribution. I will seal

You are the 'General Faqiu', with a first-class official position. I will make your ambitions public and make a decree for you, stipulating that only you have the privilege to excavate ancient tombs in the world. Anyone who excavates privately will be punished by death. I want to help you.

Complete this history book as soon as possible, which will benefit generations to come!"

Faqiu...general?

Wu Liang was stunned.

The focus is on the first grade of official residence!

Which first-grade generals appeared in the Han Dynasty?

General Jianwei, General Hussar, General Zhongjun, General Zhendong, General Fujun...

Except for the hussar generals, the remaining first-grade generals are all above the three princes, that is to say, almost second to the emperor, and in the true sense, one person is inferior to ten thousand people!

besides.

legislation?

It is stipulated that only you have the privilege to excavate ancient tombs in the world, and anyone who excavates them privately will be punished by death.

This is somewhat similar to the decrees promulgated by later generations, but the details are still rough and have the legislative characteristics of a feudal monarchy.

this moment.

Wu Liang finally understood Boss Cao's ambition.

He wants to be emperor!

If he hadn't become an emperor, how could he be given such an official position?

In history, the reason why Boss Cao did not proclaim himself emperor, but only rose to the rank of prime minister, was not because he did not want to, but perhaps because the time had not come yet.

After all, in history, although Boss Cao had "held the emperor to command the princes" and completely controlled the weak Han Dynasty in his own hands, in fact there were still many internal and external troubles.

"Being emperor" is by no means a matter of words, nor is it a child's play.

This will involve the interests of many people, especially the interests of those deep-rooted old nobles. Once Boss Cao becomes emperor, it may turn into an internal conflict that is difficult to solve, thus affecting Boss Cao's plans.

What's more, Boss Cao is also the direct beneficiary of "holding the emperor hostage to order the princes".

This move is equivalent to controlling the mouthpieces of the world and mastering public opinion.

People who dared to proclaim themselves emperor without knowing how much they weighed before, such as Yuan Shu, who dared to proclaim himself emperor after taking a jade seal passed down from the country, did not end up well, but became the target of public criticism.

With such lessons learned before him, Boss Cao must be extremely cautious in this matter...

But Wu Liang actually doesn't care much about this issue.

Anyway, the demise of the Han Dynasty was inevitable in history. Although Boss Cao never proclaimed himself emperor, Cao Pi did. Later, Liu Bei also proclaimed himself emperor, and Sun Quan also proclaimed himself emperor.

He was mainly thinking about another question.

Faqiu...general.

First grade.

What is certain is that Boss Cao never set up the official position of "General Faqiu" in history, otherwise it would not be an understatement in the history books.

After all, according to Boss Cao's current statement, this official position will be a high-ranking official, one who can make the entire government and the public tremble with just a stomp of his feet.

How come there is no record?

Instead, it was written down in the official history as a small "Faqiu Zhonglang General"?

in addition.

Boss Cao certainly never issued a decree on "robbery of tombs by order".

Promulgating such a decree in this era is simply braving the world's disapproval, and is destined to receive a lot of criticism and questioning. It should be noted that even later archeology was conducted as a "rescue excavation," which means that only when the ancient tombs have been exposed,

And only when it has suffered irreversible damage will it be carried out for archeology. Otherwise, protection will be the main focus.

Therefore, if such a law had ever appeared, it was absolutely impossible not to leave traces in history.
