The dinner was about to end when the moon was on the middle of the sky. The group took a car one after another, and Chen Xi walked back in a drowsy way with the smell of alcohol.

After all, after Fan Liang toasted that glass of wine, some people came one after another toasted Chen Xi. The same thing, those who could come with a glass of wine knew that Chen Xi could drink, so Chen Xi was a little drowsy, and he felt uncomfortable when he was too sober all year round.

"Zichuan, it's hard to walk on the road, right?" When Chen Xi was about to climb up the frame and go home, Liu Bei reached out to support Chen Xi and said, and then the attendant naturally poured Chen Xi a bowl of hot milk from the warm silver pot next to him.

"At least it can't be said to be easy to leave." Chen Xi sighed, blew the warm milk, and said in a few big mouthfuls, "Actually, I'm not drunk, I just want to get drunk."

"I want to take everyone in the right direction, but I find that the further I go, the more difficult it is to achieve this goal." Chen Xi said with a sigh, "It's a problem of political stance and concepts."

The same person has completely different images among different people. Take Emperor Wu of Han as an example. Just to fight against the destruction of the Huns, Sima Qian, Ban Gu and Sima Guang have completely different evaluations in Records of the Grand Historian, Book of Han, and Zizhi Tongjian.

Everyone knows that there is a conflict between Sima Qian and Emperor Wu of Han, but Sima Qian recognizes Emperor Wu's achievements.

In the end, Sima Qian gave Yu the evaluation of "Yao is virtuous, but his career is not successful, and he will be able to achieve Yu and the Nine Provinces will be peaceful. And if you want to promote the sacred kingdom, you can only choose the general and the prime minister! You can only choose the general and the prime minister!"

Simply put, Sima Qian believed that it was imperative to fight against the Huns, but Sima Qian believed that the attack on the Huns caused the decline of the people's livelihood in the country, which was purely because Emperor Wu of Han could not find a good prime minister. Fighting the Huns was a state matter, and it was necessary to fight, but the decline of the people's livelihood in the country, and you had to take the blame.

When Ban Gu was in Han Shu, he would record Emperor Wu with the attitude of the descendants of the Han Dynasty, it would be completely different. He had so high praise that he had no friends. As for fighting the Huns, he had to fight.

However, when Sima Guangxiu Zhizhi Tongjian, this was completely different. "Xiaowu was extremely extravagant, and he was very frugal, and he was very immersed in the palace, and was in the outside world. He believed in and deceived gods and monsters, and traveled excessively. He made the people tired and became thieves. He was very different from Qin Shihuang."

Three people have three comments, and the content they wrote is all genuine, and they are all things that have happened in history, but the evaluations of the three people are completely different.

Chen Xi had known this before. The so-called Six Classics are me, and I am not only annotated with the Six Classics.

Sima Qian's position was based on the normal standpoint, witnessing the prosperity of Wenjing and the hegemony of Hanwu, so he gave a reasonable evaluation. Ban Gu stood in the downstream of history and clearly knew what kind of spirit Emperor Wu had brought to him later.

Just like the Korean War, even though the losses were heavy, China really stood in a corner of the world, rather than being recognized as a puppet to support it.

Therefore, Ban Gu's evaluation was beyond imagination, and this spirit has always influenced later generations. There were both the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty's destruction, and there were also the Han Dynasty after the destruction.

What this created was not a simple empire, but a backbone in the spirit, so Ban Gu gave Emperor Wu a very high evaluation in history.

By the time Sima Guang was in charge of the Tongjian, it became another situation. Sima Guang essentially opposed foreign wars in an all-round way, so he was disdainful of the Han Dynasty to fight against the Huns. In addition, with the Song Dynasty, it was basically difficult to be considered unification, and it was even more a joke as to pioneering and enterprising.

The simplest example is that the first unified dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, had 3.4 million square kilometers. The Jin Dynasty, which was always regarded as the background board, also had 5.43 million square kilometers during the period of the Western Jin Dynasty's victory, while the Northern Song Dynasty had 2.8 million square kilometers, which did not even occupy the territory during the Qin Dynasty's unification period. Therefore, the Song Dynasty's praise of the unification was always refuted.

Naturally, Sima Guang clearly expressed his political thoughts in Zizhi Tongjian. Foreign wars are absolutely undesirable. Even the most brutal Wu Emperor fights in foreign wars, it is just such a result. Do you think you are worthy of comparing with Wu Emperor?

Although from a certain perspective, Sima Guang's writing history books is also a talent, and from a comparison perspective, he really praised Emperor Wu, but the comparison objects are too trash, which makes people a bit swearing. But in fact, Sima Guang's meaning is very clear. Emperor Wu is like that. You can't go to the Gaosou River Donkey Carriage God Competition like your ancestor Zhao Guangyi...

This is a bit insulting, but it is essentially the meaning. But no matter what, Sima Guang wrote about Emperor Wu and used it to suppress Emperor Shenzong of Song, and suppress Wang Anshi. It was just that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was too trash. In order to show the bad situation of foreign wars, Sima Guang highlighted some aspects.

It seems like he is in the Black Martial Emperor. In fact, it is essentially urging Shenzong not to play with the madman Wang Anshi. He is the good minister of the Song Dynasty. Wang Anshi just knows nothing and is very stubborn.

Chen Xi has read these three historical books. Although Zizhi Tongjian has not finished reading and Han Shu only read chapters that are interesting, Chen Xi has read them carefully because it involves Emperor Wu who is interested in Chen Xi, so it is very clear that once it involves position and politics, many things will be distorted.

As the family grows, their positions will gradually change. This is an inevitable thing, and for a collective, this is almost inevitable.

"Are you regretting your choice?" Liu Bei and Chen Xi asked with a faint smile after entering the frame, "You must know that half of the current situation is due to your own efforts. If you think there is a problem, the first person you are looking for is actually you."

"I have never regretted this choice. In fact, even if I do it again, I will choose to drive the major families out of the country and make them become military nobles." Chen Xi said seriously, "I just chose this path, and I clearly realized the difficulty of this path."

"You can't protect them under your wings forever. You are not their biological father." Liu Bei's tone was very calm, "You have paved the way for them, they have set off, and they should leave by themselves next."

"That's what it said." Chen Xi sighed a little, "But if both sides want to develop more quickly, I must combine the resources in the hands of the aristocratic families. Although I have never actively suppressed the major aristocratic families since the beginning, my policy is constantly squeezing the share of the major aristocratic families when it is in operation, so that they gradually become weaker in their growth."

Liu Bei nodded. He knew this. Chen Xi basically did not express his intention to suppress the major aristocratic families. However, since Chen Xi took office, while the aristocratic families became stronger, the overall country was indeed weakening. However, even so, the major aristocratic families still had a lot of resources that Chen Xi needed, which were not available to other classes at present.

"I have to get some things that once belonged to certain aristocratic families to solve the problem. The major aristocratic families are not stupid. Even my silent father-in-law actually understands my true pursuit in the next stage." Chen Xi sighed, "I don't know whether I let them go or they are exchanging interests with me."

"I hope it is the former, because the former means that I can still control the general trend in the future, but for the latter, the major families will sooner or later cut off my reins that bind them." Chen Xi said quietly, "The benefits I can give are also limited."

"You have considered it too far. Even if you plan ahead, it will happen more than ten years later, or even decades later. And there are some contradictions, because the balance of power is not a contradiction at all. Moreover, more than ten years, decades have passed, and some ways of thinking will change after another generation." Liu Bei was not very satisfied with Chen Xi's assumption.

"There is indeed a possibility of the latter. In that case, to some extent, it is more in line with the interests of both parties." Chen Xi nodded, looked out the window, and did not look at Liu Bei, because he knew very well that such a thing was unlikely.

As for the current paths that major families have tried, various political systems and management methods. Although Chen Xi used the major families as a test site at the beginning, the major families are better at making trouble than Chen Xi imagined.

Liu Bei patted Chen Xi on the shoulder, "Look, even if you really can't control it, aren't there any clan relatives who need to protect the interests of the royal family? At that time, I convinced them that when the interests are not enough to tempt, it's time to go on the field."

"It's savage, it's savage." Chen Xi said with a smile.

"Only a barbaric body can carry a noble spirit, which is what you said." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi calmly, Chen Xi was silent, and then nodded.

"That's right. No matter how beautiful the idea or the noble spirit is, it requires a barbaric body to be implemented." Chen Xi nodded, "Forget it, even if the root of disaster is buried at that time, it will still depend on their own abilities."

"Sometimes you think too far, so what if you really get out of control? The Central Plains are not the Central Plains, and they are much better than before." Liu Bei persuaded Chen Xi and said.

Chen Xi nodded. He knew why he thought so far, because he knew that as far as the Central Plains empire was concerned, there were not many times when there was such an opportunity. As long as there was a generation of success, the imperial career would continue for four hundred years, even if the period was ups and downs, as time passed, these ruled places would be completely assimilated by the Han Dynasty and many aristocratic families.
