Great Blue Night Watchman

Sit! Zhang Ju gently raised his hand and the three of them sat down.

Three cups of tea were served to the three of them, which was the beginning of the literary discussion.

Lin Su held up the tea cup with both hands, slightly bent his thumbs, and performed the ceremony of a junior scholar, and said: The history is so complicated that there is no consensus. The benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. It has nothing to do with right and wrong, so I dare not make a final conclusion. Su has a historical record. In front of two great scholars, I hope to discuss it clearly!

Chen Geng returned the favor and said, Grandmaster Lin, please!

This is standard sermon procedure.

Lin Sudao: There was a man who had been rebellious since he was young. His father chose the path of literature for him, but he chose the path of spiritual practice, which made his father seriously ill for three years. This man was successful in practice and went down the mountain to destroy the people in the valley. Regardless of old or young, his elder brother blamed him. This man imprisoned his brother for ten years, and his mother begged him in every possible way, but she refused to release his brother. The literary and moral scholar blamed him, but this man refused to accept it, and chased the scholar thousands of miles away. Besides, two great bachelors, what do you think of this person’s character?”

Zhang Juzheng said: This person has no father, no mother, no brother, no love, he is unkind and unjust, how can we judge him?

Exactly! Chen Geng said: It is unfilial to rebel against one's parents; it is unkind to imprison one's brother; it is unkind to destroy a person in a grain of rice! If this person is a general, he will be a bad general who will be infamy for thousands of years. If this person is a king, He must be a foolish king!

Lin Su's eyes were a bit mysterious: He is indeed a king! He is Ji Sheng, the founding king of Da Cang! This historical material is recorded in The Official History of Da Cang!

The two bachelors were stunned at the same time...

Chen Gengdao: There is indeed such a record in the Official History of Da Cang, but it is completely different from what you said...

what is the difference?

Chen Geng said: Ji Sheng, the founding king of the country, rebelled against his father, but it was because he saw the evils of hundreds of millions of miles of mountains and rivers, which could not be cleared away without thunder; he imprisoned his brother because of his brother. It has become an obstacle to his governance; the Tianhe River Valley is exterminated because it is the foundation for the demon race to be rooted in the human race; the eight hundred great scholars are also exiled because these great scholars are too pedantic and have penetrated into every aspect of the court. , without their existence, it would be difficult for the Great Cang to achieve great achievements.

So, the Grand Master agrees that the historical materials mentioned by the students are all true!

Chen Geng: ...

He was speechless!

The historical data mentioned by Lin Su is true!

No deviation at all!

However, without some background and details, the feeling is completely opposite...

Lin Su smiled faintly: The same historical materials are placed in the official history and give people a positive feeling. However, when I pick them out separately, concealing the names and backgrounds, they give people a negative feeling... Bachelor Have you ever thought about why this is?

Historical data must be accurate and cannot be taken out of context! Chen Geng said.

He is a master historian, and the fundamental purpose of a historian is to dig out as detailed historical materials as possible and present them to the world. This is his deep-rooted understanding.

Lin Su played this song with him at the beginning of the chapter, which further strengthened his understanding.

Ji Sheng's greatness is undisputed in the whole world, but taking some of his details out of context and listing them without any background introduction has turned into another perception. This is terrible.

Lin Su held up the tea cup and took a sip gently: The bachelor wants detailed historical materials. So, do you think the historical record Dongliu Chronicle is detailed enough?

Chen Geng's brows suddenly tightened!

Dongliu Chronicle?

It is a history book written by Lie Donglai, the most famous scholar at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. He recorded in detail his experiences in various places when he was exiled for three thousand miles. The historical materials are so comprehensive that they can be regarded as the first choice among Da Cang history books. However, it is not Enter official history, why? Because the real intention of this history book is to accuse Ji Sheng of destroying Da Cang Wen Dao.

If Dongliu Chronicle becomes the orthodoxy in history, Ji Sheng's image will be ruined.

Chen Gengwen's heart was shocked again!

Lin Su's first sentence told him that historical data cannot be taken out of context.

The second sentence told him that it would not work if the historical data were only informative.

So, where does the path of being a historian lead?

This is the biggest obstacle for him to break into the literary world, that is, he has never been able to establish his own view of history.

If he cannot establish his own view of history, he will lack the support and framework of the literary world, and he will not be able to enter the literary world.

Zhang Juzheng also tightened his brows.

He is not a historian, and his feelings are not as deep as those of Chen Geng.

However, he saw that Chen Gengwen's heart was already shaken. At their level, it was strange for Wen's heart to be shaken. The clouds above Green Willow Villa were undulating. He could feel this strange scene. Zhang Haoran's People who have reached the realm of Wenlu can feel it, and senior scholars in the capital can also feel it, but ordinary people can't feel it...

Grandmaster Lin's comments on history are really amazing every time! Chen Geng slowly withdrew his gaze and landed on Lin Su's face: In your opinion, what do you think?

Lin Sudao: Students are not historians, and they will never dare to make false claims. They are just their own opinions for the reference of academicians... In Su's humble opinion, historians should focus on three points. The first is the difference between true and false. On this theory I have already discussed it with the great scholar, so I won’t go into details here. The second point is the difference in angles...

Angle is a weird thing.

Some things, viewed from this perspective, are positive, but from another perspective, they are negative. For example, the example Lin Su gave at the beginning, even the founding king Ji Sheng, a man of great talent and strategy, has no dispute in the whole world. All the great figures can change their perspective and give people a completely different look and feel, let alone other people?

This is not surprising at all. Everyone is a complex of contradictions. Everyone has a shining side and a bad side. This is true for people and the same is true for historical data...

Lin Su's opening argument, whether Chen Geng or Zhang Juzheng, were all involved. Lin Su's words did not have many profound words, but his views were novel and unique, and his views, There are sufficient arguments to explain it, which makes people convinced.

No one noticed that above their heads, at some point, blue clouds were faintly visible.

Zhang Haoran noticed it. He suddenly looked up when he was sitting in the study. His wife came in with a teapot and saw her husband's shock...

Ms. sir, what's wrong?

Under the faint turmoil of the holy sound, the text is written as Qingyun Taoist platform! Zhang Haoran said: In their study for a while, there was a faint image of Qingyun Taoist platform.

What is Qingyun Taotai? My wife didn't understand.

Zhang Haoran said: You can't understand the magical phenomena in literature and art.

The wife raised her eyes and looked at the tall buildings in the distance: Mr. sir, do you want to go there?

I can't reach their level yet, so let's take a look here.

The wife's heart skipped a beat. In her own opinion, her husband-in-law was already a top literary master. He had already entered the literary world at the age of more than 20 years old. All the girlfriends she dated were extremely envious of her. However, her husband-in-law was extremely envious. Facing that person who was two years younger than him, he admitted frankly that he couldn't reach their level.

And when he said this, he was not unconvinced, but seemed to be full of joy...

In the study, Lin Su finished discussing angle and then changed the topic: A change in angle changes the perception. However, how to choose this angle when facing thousands of historical materials? We need to return to the essence of historians and gain insight into the true meaning of historians...

What is the significance of the existence of historians?

This is another huge chapter!

In the eyes of most people, there is no dispute that the purpose of historians is to record the true history.

However, although this argument is universally applicable, it is nonsense!

Because under the guidance of this sentence, historians will be at a loss as to what to do, and there is no operability at all.

The meaning of your existence is to record the truth. So, if you record all the truth, how can you remember it? The Great Cang has a history of thousands of years, and there are thousands of years of history before the Great Cang. How many things are true? Can you finish writing? Zhang San's perspective, Li Si's perspective, Wang Wu's perspective... You can't write enough historical materials in one day, so why talk about thousands of years?

Therefore, we need to understand the true meaning of the existence of historians...

The real meaning of being a historian is not to record the truth. Recording the truth is only the means and responsibility of the historian, not the purpose.

The purpose is to draw lessons from history to draw lessons from the present!

In other words, the significance of recording history is to use history to guide today's words and deeds.

We must learn from the mistakes made in history today.

The great spirit passed down by historical figures guides today’s people!

Therefore, there is a saying that use history as a mirror to know the gains and losses...

Outside the study, the previously faint blue clouds suddenly turned into a huge lotus, holding the study high up, and a vision soared into the sky...

Now, the discussion in the study room, which was unknown at first, suddenly became known to everyone...

Everyone in Green Willow Villa looked at the study room together. Zhang Haoran stood up and came to the window, quietly looking at the study room surrounded by green clouds and green lotuses. Just as he expected, the study room had become a Qingyuntai!

On Qingyuntai, top-notch discussion!

This is an inherent knowledge based on literature!

Only a truly groundbreaking discussion can trigger such a vision!

In the capital's memorial pavilion, Lu Tian stood up suddenly and looked at Green Willow Villa in the distance. His expression changed...

In the palace, His Majesty also quietly looked at the blue cloud above Green Willow Villa. His face was calm, but his eyes clearly showed great solemnity: Check! Who is there on the Green Terrace!

Your Majesty, this old servant has checked. Chen Geng was discussing with Zhang Juzheng in his study. Lin Su entered Green Willow Villa an hour ago!

Lin Su!

As soon as the name came out, His Majesty's face suddenly darkened, and the temperature in the imperial study seemed to drop to freezing point instantly...

Across the city, the situation is very different...

On the street, pedestrians stopped and looked to the north of the city.

In various restaurants, all the music stopped, and countless people crowded to the windows...

There is a great scholar rising into the sky, looking into the distance...

In the Gongyuan of the capital, everyone left the office area. They went up to the sky and went up to the top floor. Su Changhe, the great scholar of the Gongyuan, stood on the top of the Gongyuan, his long beard twitching slightly...

His figure stands tall in the Gongyuan.

At White Deer Academy, all classes in progress were stopped, and all the students came to the square. On the square, which was as white as jade, the students looked north in the distance, all of them looking excited.

On the top of Bailu Mountain, two women stood up at the same time and came to the edge of the peak. It was inexplicable and Mowen.

She was inexplicably dressed in white clothes. Even though it was still cold and windy at the moment, her light clothes fluttered, revealing her skin as white as jade, like foam in the spring breeze.

Don't wear a purple shirt, it's the same.

There was surprise on their faces...

Under the faint turmoil of the holy sound, the text is Qingyun Taohuatai! He inexplicably chanted: Green Willow Villa actually presents Qingyun Taoism platform, who can talk about Taoism?

Her voice is like flowing water, covering the mountain peaks on the right.
