At the end of July, Li Chao left Beijing.

The day before, he had already gone to Chang'an to go to the palace to say goodbye to Li Shimin. Li Chengqian also went to Lizheng Palace to say goodbye to Emperor Changsun. The queen was reluctant to part with the prince and reluctant to part with his resignation. But when the prince came over to say goodbye to Li Shimin, Li Shimin had no nostalgia.

"Remember to listen to Li Xiangguo's words." Li Shimin said to the prince. He also said to Li Chao in front of the prince, "If this bastard is disobedient, just slap him for me and use the soles of the shoe."

Li Chao couldn't help but twitch his face when he heard this. He glanced at Wen Yanbo and Wen Dalin. Wen Dalin stood in a corner, holding the scroll in his left hand and the pen in his right hand, and the pen was moving in a dragon and snake.

Wen Laoer, one of the three masters of the Wen family, is writing daily notes. Li Shimin is really not particular. He even called Cheng Qian a bastard here, so wouldn’t he become an old rabbit?

When Li Shimin called himself an old rabbit, Li Chao couldn't help laughing.

This smile became a loss of manners for Jun Qian.

The censor knew that he could impeach Li Chao. Wen Dalin looked up at Li Chao, then picked up the pen and added a sentence on the scroll. Li Chao's face sank. Damn, this must be remembered.

When Li Shimin saw Li Chao's appearance, he seemed to remember that the historian was recording their conversation.

"Da Lin."

"I'm here!"

Li Shimin looked at Wen Dalin and asked, "Wen Yuan suddenly laughed just now. Have you also recorded it?"

"Back to your Majesty, yes."

"Oh, then how do you remember it? Take it to me and see."

Wen Dalin was stunned for a moment, and he did not expect the emperor to suddenly make such a request.

But after just a moment of silence, he refused righteously.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, daily notes have been used as the basic material for later compiling national history. The content cannot be spread out and the king himself cannot be inquire about it. Daily notes are only, so they are shown to the king when they are not mistaken."

Li Shimin said dissatisfiedly, "Since this daily note records my words and deeds, why can't I read it?"

"Your Majesty, the daily record is entirely based on a historical pen. It is neither a vain for the king nor a hidden evil for the emperor. If His Majesty sees it, he may be unhappy, so he dare not watch it for His Majesty."

Li Shimin had no choice but to do this stone-like living man.

Since the pre-Qin period, there have been special history. As the saying goes, the left historian records events and the right historian records words. These historians specifically restrict the words and deeds of the king. This is a unique system.

Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was renamed Qijulang.

These people accompany the king and specialize in recording the king's daily remarks and actions. The records recorded in the emperor's diary are called daily notes.

The daily notes cover a wide range of contents. In addition to the king's private life in the palace, other words and deeds, such as court edicts, rituals, music and laws, rewards and punishments, ministers' visits, sacrifices and banquets, visits, visits, climate of the four seasons, increase and decrease of household registration, abolishment of prefectures and counties, etc., must be recorded one by one.

However, there has always been an unwritten rule for daily life notes, that is, everything recorded cannot be circulated outside the country, but can only be used as materials for future national history.

Even the king himself cannot ask about it.

Therefore, it can be said that for the sake of their reputation, the kings must always be alert and have many constraints on their daily words and deeds.

However, Li Shimin ascended the throne by relying on Xuanwu Sect. Although neither the emperor's father nor the deposed prince's brother were killed, the Xuanwu Sect's transformation was less bloody, but this incident could not conceal the fact that the usurpation of the palace transformation.

Li Shimin was always worried that the servants would record this history truthfully. Even though he had long since recorded the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the official character was that the deposed prince Jiancheng and Yuan Ji plotted against rebellion, and he served the king and quelled the rebellion. But he was in charge of the official history books, but he could not control the servants, so he didn't know how to record the daily notes from the servants' pen.

The Xuanwu Gate incident has always made him unable to look back. Especially after the recent warning of a major disaster next year, Li Shimin became more and more uneasy.

Wen Dalin's rejection did not satisfy Li Shimin, but made him more and more want to see what he said about his daily life.

"I am broad-minded, different from my predecessors. My intention to view national history is to know the evils of the day before yesterday and to make a warning for later. You can give me your daily life notes!"

The three Wen brothers are very famous. His brother Wen Dana was once a confidential minister of the Supreme Emperor, but Wen Dalin was under Luo Yi before, so his official position is not obvious now and he is just a living servant.

Li Shimin didn't expect that he would speak like that, but Wen Dalin still refused directly.

"The monarch's words and deeds must be recorded in good and evil, so that the emperor will not make any mistakes. I have never heard of any monarch who has read the daily notes."

Li Shimin was angry and raised his voice.

"Then I have done it, do you remember it too?"

Wen Dalin said with his neck stammering, "That's my responsibility, and you must remember your Majesty's words and deeds."

At this time, another residence hall next to him, Liu Wei also said, "Even if Wen Dalin doesn't remember, Liu Wei should remember it."

The atmosphere was stiff for a moment.

Li Shimin didn't expect that he would speak like this, and they would still resist so toughly. His heart was furious and he was about to be angry and scolded.

At this time, Li Chao looked at the wrong momentum and had to interrupt.

"Your Majesty has never been wrong. The records of the historian will naturally be perfect. Of course, there will be no problem with your Majesty if you want to read the daily notes. However, if Your Majesty opens this to tell his descendants, I am worried that the monarchs of several generations will not be as good as Your Majesty, they will definitely hide evil and promote good, and the historians who have faithfully recorded will inevitably be punished. In this way, in order to avoid disaster, the historians have to embellish their mistakes. Then, there will be no record of the record for a thousand years. This is also the reason why the previous dynasty stipulated that the king could not read the daily notes!"

Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with the two living housemen and Li Shimin. But Li Chao was reasonable and he could listen.

Li Shimin remained silent.

He was still unwilling to accept it, but he was so stiff today, so he couldn't use force anymore. He had to snort coldly and expose it.

Li Shimin finished humming, and as a result, the living servants Wen Dalin and Liu Wei both picked up the pen and wrote the pen on the scroll in their left hand. This almost made Li Shimin go wild. It was obvious that what they remembered just now was that he had to look at the daily notes and not get angry.

It's so outrageous!

Li Shimin was unhappy and had no intention of chatting with Li Chao anymore. After saying a few words, he finished his remarks and asked Li Chao to take the prince back.

The prince was a little careful when he went back, and he rarely saw his father's anger.

"Teacher, can I read the father's daily life note in the future?"

"Of course, it can. The king just can't read his own records, but the emperors of the previous generation can read it."

"Oh, after that, I will delete all the bad words recorded by my father on my daily life note!"
