"This is indeed a solution. So, have you found your way?"

Deng Ru asked the question knowing the answer.

If Da had really found his own way, he wouldn't have such a headache here.

[I have a clue, but I can't figure it out.]

Da said with some headache.

Compared to the earth, he has his own path he wants to take, but he just has no idea where to start.

"Oh? This old Taoist is interested. Why don't you tell me which path you plan to take? After all, I am one of the Six Saints of Heaven and Earth. Perhaps I can give you some advice?"

Deng Ru looked at Da. He didn't expect that Da actually had some clues.

After all, he had never taken his eyes off the big one.

Although Da has good qualifications, he does not show any extraordinary genius.

[I am a historian. You know, I was a historian before I became the emperor.]

Da slowly talked about his own path.

My duty is to record all things, big and small.

[Even after becoming emperor, I often compiled my own history.]

The eldest is a historian, and then there is the Emperor of Heaven who is appointed in times of crisis.

The path I want to take is very simple.

He wanted to be the historian of this world, recording everything that happened between heaven and earth.

"You mean you want to walk the path of time, or rather, the path of memory?"

Deng Ru probably understood what the word "big" meant.

The path he was going to take was a bit vague and indeed hard to find.

History, this kind of thing is too illusory.

【The wisdom eye of the Heavenly Lord.】

Da nodded and praised.

"This path is indeed difficult. I'm asking you, when you compiled history, did you make any deletions or revisions? Did you use the so-called Spring and Autumn style of writing according to your own wishes, blurring the boundaries and causing future generations to misinterpret the meaning?"

Deng Ru asked.

This is a common method used by some historians, the style of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is vague and unclear.

Sometimes, the same meaning can be expressed differently when written using different grammars.

If you want to follow this path of history, you naturally cannot have any personal emotions.

At the very least, it should be written truthfully, without changing a single word, as in the records of the Grand Historian of Qi and the writings of Dong Hu of Jin.

These are all good examples.

If you want to go this way.

Da can only be the most indifferent and ruthless god in the world, indifferently recording everything that happens in the world.

[What is this... Spring and Autumn style of writing? ]

Da was a little dazed.

There was no Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period in the Bamboo Forest World, and there was no Confucius writing the Spring and Autumn Annals.

Naturally, there is no such thing as the Spring and Autumn style of writing.

"...I'll give you an analogy. Look at spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Of these, spring and autumn have the closest climate. If you only describe the climate, the chill of spring and the wind of autumn, if you remove the seasons, people will blur the lines between the two. But the two, one represents farming, the other represents harvest. One represents a beginning, the other represents the coming end."

"Using writing techniques to describe the facts, but implicitly implying praise and criticism, hiding the truth, this is the Spring and Autumn style of writing."

Deng Ru also knew that there was no book "Spring and Autumn Annals" in the Bamboo Forest World.

If Guan Erye traveled to the bamboo forest world, he would not even have time to read the Spring and Autumn Annals.

Therefore, he translated the two words "Spring and Autumn" casually based on the world's definition of the Spring and Autumn style of writing.

The general meaning is not much different.

[…I have.]

Da is a historian ant.

But by chance he became emperor.

After Emperor Cheng, he could no longer record history as fairly as before.

He hid a lot of truths and tampered with a lot.

"Since it has happened, then change it."

Deng Ru nodded, like an ant that jumped from a historian to an emperor.

Can't be too harsh on him.

How many years have you been a historian?

But he served as the Emperor of Heaven for decades.

When he was writing history books, he would naturally say something good about himself.

And discredit the land as well.

Although the degree of smearing is not great.

[However, if everything is recorded truthfully, the stability of Mount Buzhou will be greatly threatened.]

Da said with some concern.

"Then it's your choice. Will you steadfastly follow this path, or compromise for the sake of Mount Buzhou's stability? It all depends on your decision."

"Back then, I, an old Taoist, saw a group of historians who fought tirelessly to faithfully record the process of a minister slaying the king. The traitor who became the king naturally didn't want his regicide recorded in history books."

"The elder historian wrote down the words 'traitor murdered his king'. The traitor refused and told him to write down that he died of an illness. However, the historian wrote the truth, never changing it. The traitor was furious and killed him. He then summoned his younger brother, who also wrote down the words 'traitor murdered his king'. The traitor was furious and killed him again."

"In the end, the fourth brother of the historian's family still wrote down that the traitor had killed his king, without changing a single word. The traitor had no choice but to let him go."

Deng Ru told the story to the university.

It is a modified version of Cui Zhu killing his king.

Although there are some differences, they are basically the same.

But what was not mentioned was that there were historians from the south coming later to take over the duties of the Taishi brothers.

That's not very important.

Are they not afraid of death?

Da was once an emperor, so of course he would know.

It is easy for a king to replace a group of obedient historians.

If this historian is disobedient, then kill him and replace him with another one.

"You were once a historian. If you want to follow this path, you should know better than me what it means to write truthfully."
