The Summoner of the Battle of All Realms

Liu Tao said nothing, and looked at Fusu eagerly, just looking at him.

Fusu was a little hairy when Liu Tao saw him.

"Okay, okay, I understand." Finally, Fusu compromised, said a few words to Aunt Gongsun, and then gave birth to the baby.

The place where Fusu will be born is the Epang Palace.

Aunt Gongsun is a newly joined dancer in the palace etiquette team. She has just passed the examination and has not yet made her mark.

Because of her excellent toughness and balance, she was valued by the lead dancer.

…

Liu Tao couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction when he saw Fusu being so obedient.

Although she is a good wife and mother, she is also a woman and she absolutely does not want to see her man having sex with other women.

What's more, Liu Tao comes from modern times and pays attention to feminism.

"Are you satisfied?" Fusu came to Liu Tao's side and asked with a smile.

He didn't understand. This Aunt Gongsun must be his woman in the end. Is it necessary to be so jealous?

Of course, Fusu doesn't know. Don't guess what a woman is thinking. Even if you guess, you won't understand.

When Liu Tao heard Fusu's words, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, as if he was very happy.

"Okay, let's continue." Liu Tao did not answer Fusu's question, but turned around and continued to summon.

"Okay", Fusu shrugged and walked to Liu Tao's side.

"Anyway, there are still many summoning opportunities, let's continue." Fusu once again opened the summoning privilege.

Chapter 891 The final song of the historian, The Li Sao without Rhyme - Sima Qian

This time, Liu Tao planned to use a different summoning method.

Looking at the row of summoning cards that appeared in front of him, Liu Tao stretched out his delicate hand.

"Little cock, whoever you click on is you." Liu Tao directly took out one card.

Liu Tao looked at the summoning card in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Sima Qian."

"Well, Sima Qian?" Fusu quickly came to Liu Tao's side when he heard the name.

The author of "Historical Records", the swan song of historians, the rhymeless Li Sao!

Sima Qian, also known as Zichang. Historian and essayist of the Western Han Dynasty. Sima Tan's son was appointed Taishi Ling. He was castrated for defending Li Ling's defeat and surrender, and was later appointed Zhongshu Ling. He worked hard to continue to complete the historical books he wrote, and was honored by later generations as Shi Qian, Tai Shigong, and the father of history.

This person has very strong perseverance and strong will.

Although some of the words are ugly, they are indeed admirable.

It can be said that he is the saint of historians.

Why is it said that Sima Qian is admirable for his physical disability and strong will? That's because castration is one of the five major tortures in China and one of the most cruel punishments.

The executioner uses a knife to gouge out the... balls of the tortured man so that he can have no offspring. If the torturer is a woman, then such a woman will lose her fertility forever. This is a great insult to the personality. torture.

If it is an ordinary person, he will definitely commit suicide in shame, but a person with great perseverance is different and endures the humiliation.

After being castrated, Sima Qian did not give up on himself, but completed the first historical masterpiece in Chinese history - "Historical Records".

Sima Qian studied under Kong Anguo and Dong Zhongshu in his early years. He traveled around various places, learned about customs and collected rumors. He was first appointed as a doctor and served as an envoy to the southwest. Later he was appointed as Taishi Ling, inheriting his father's business and writing history.

With his historical knowledge of "studying the relationship between heaven and man, understanding the changes of ancient and modern times, and becoming a family", he created the first general history of the Chinese Dynasty, "Shiji", which is recognized as a model of Chinese history books. From the Huangdi period to the first year of Yuanshou, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the history of more than 3,000 years is the first of the "Twenty-Five Histories".

"Historical Records" has a total of 130 chapters and more than 526,500 words, including twelve chronicles, thirty families, seventy biographies, ten tables, and eight books. It has a huge impact on later generations and is known as "Factual records and historical records" are listed as the first of the first "four histories", and together with "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" are called "the two gems of history".

As for why Sima Qian was castrated, there is also a story in it.

According to historical records, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Li Guangli, the brother of his favorite concubine, Mrs. Li, to lead troops to attack the Xiongnu. He also sent Li Guang's grandson, Lieutenant General Li Ling, to accompany Li Guangli to escort the baggage.

Li Ling led an army of five thousand infantry alone deep into Junji Mountain. Unfortunately, he encountered Shanyu. The Huns besieged Li Ling with 80,000 cavalry.

After eight days and nights of fighting, Li Ling killed more than 10,000 Xiongnu. However, because he could not get the support of the main force, he ran out of ammunition and food and was unfortunately captured.

After the news of Li Ling's defeat reached Chang'an, Emperor Wu originally hoped that he would die in battle, but later heard that he had surrendered and was very angry and unhappy.

At that time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were very observant. A few days ago, they all praised Li Ling's bravery, but now they echoed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and accused Li Ling of his crimes.

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Sima Qian, the Taishi Ling, for his opinion. On the one hand, Sima Qian comforted Emperor Wu, but on the other hand, he hated those ministers who acted according to the prevailing situation and tried his best to defend Li Ling.

Li Ling was usually filial to his mother, loyal to his friends, humble and courteous to others, and kind to the soldiers. He often took care of the country's urgent needs regardless of his own life. He had the demeanor of a national scholar. He was much better than those ministers who only knew how to protect themselves and their families. times.

Now that they saw that Li Ling was in trouble in sending troops, they blindly added insult to injury and exaggerated his charges, so he spoke to help Li Ling.

On the one hand, he praised Li Ling for killing more than 10,000 enemies with 5,000 infantrymen when 80,000 Xiongnu soldiers were surrounded.

It is definitely a great achievement.

On the other hand, Sima Qian also expressed his dissatisfaction with the "lack of reinforcements". If it weren't for the lack of reinforcements, maybe things would not have changed like this.

His outspoken remarks offended Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that he was defending Li Ling and belittling Li Guangli, the brother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Mrs. Li, who had returned from the expedition and was defeated, so he ordered Sima Qian to be imprisoned.

After Sima Qian was imprisoned, the case fell into the hands of a notoriously cruel official at the time. Du Zhou interrogated Sima Qian harshly and made Sima Qian try all kinds of cruel physical and mental torture.

In the face of cruel officials, he never gave in or confessed.

Soon after, there were rumors that Li Ling had led Xiongnu soldiers to attack the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed it to be true and summarily executed Li Ling's mother, wife and son.

Sima Qian was also sentenced to castration for this incident.

According to the criminal law of the Han Dynasty at that time, there were two ways to reduce the death penalty: one was to pay 500,000 yuan for atonement, and the other was to suffer "corruption".

Sima Qian was a young official at that time and his family was poor. How could he have so much money to atone for his sins?

Corruption not only cruelly destroys the human body and spirit, but also greatly humiliates the personality.

Sima Qian was unwilling to endure such a punishment and even thought of committing suicide at that time.

But everyone is destined to die, and death may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. He thought of Confucius, Qu Yuan, Zuo Qiuming, Sun Bin and others, as well as the humiliation they suffered and the impressive achievements they achieved.

Sima Qian chose corruption.

Fusu looked at Sima Qian on the summoning card in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
