Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 702 I'm afraid it's not right? (Add more updates for the boss of [Ink Dye Starry Night])

"Mr. Xu of Qin?"

Hearing this slightly weird name, Liu Xie looked suspicious.

Everyone present was also puzzled. Although there were people with two-character names in the Han Dynasty, most of them were single-named, and such four-character names were rare.

So maybe it's some kind of honorific title, like someone's title?
But even so, all the people present were noble families with some knowledge and connections, and some were even famous families, but no one had ever heard of such a weird name.

more importantly.

What kind of ability does this person have, that he can become the fate and lifeline of a small overseas country thousands of miles away, causing Yamatai to send envoys all the way to look for it, and even dare to use this matter to alarm the emperor?

Xu Jun of Qin...

Wu Liang is also reminiscing about the name in Qilitong's mouth. After all, just hearing the pronunciation is different from seeing the written text directly. Adding Qilitong's pronunciation is a bit awkward, even Wu Liang It was also impossible to immediately understand who Qi Litong was talking about.

But after careful consideration.

Wu Liang suddenly thought of a person, and immediately got up and asked, "Doctor Qi Litong, the real name of the person you mentioned is Xu Fu, right?"

As far as Wu Liang knows, in history, when Xu Fu took three thousand boys and girls into the sea to find the elixir for Qin Shihuang, it is said that he came to a place of "plains and vast lakes" and felt that the local climate was warm, the scenery was beautiful, and the people were friendly. , he stopped to proclaim himself king, and taught the locals how to farm, fish, whale, and paper, and never returned to the Celestial Dynasty.

As for this "plain and broad lake", some scholars analyzed the landform and environment and believed that it was the Kyushu area of ​​the Wa Kingdom, and the Kyushu area was the northern part of the Wa Kingdom where the Yamatai Kingdom was located.

Moreover, after Xu Fu arrived in the Wa country, he called himself "Xu Fu of Qin".

However, there are also people who call him Xu Jun, but this matter is not recorded in the official history of the Celestial Dynasty, it is just some folklore and unofficial history.

And there is no trace in the history books of the Wa Kingdom. They even verified the history of their own Yamatai Kingdom in the history books of the Celestial Dynasty. How could they record things that were hundreds of years earlier than this time?

The only certainty is that.

Even without history books as evidence, Xu Fu still had a profound influence on the history of the Wa Kingdom. Even in later generations, the Wa Kingdom still left behind many tombs of Qin Xufu built in different periods, but these tombs were all fake, and the age was completely different. not on.

"Xu Fu?"

Hearing this name, whether it is Xiandi Liu Xie or everyone present, they are familiar with it, but the suspicion on their faces became a little more serious immediately.

"Wu Taishi, I'm afraid it's not right?"

An official immediately raised an objection, arguing with reason, "You are also a special historian appointed by His Majesty, so you should know that Xu Fu went to sea in the 28th year of Qin Dynasty (219 BC). If Xu Fu is still alive now , I am afraid that he has lived for more than 400 years. If Wu Taishi can say such a thing, it is a trivial matter if he loses his status, and if he insults the state system, he will be ridiculed by the envoys of other countries."

Although the culture of this era is monopolized by the gentry, at the same time the cultural atmosphere among the gentry is very free. It is nothing new to debate and draw swords over an old saying.

Because in the eyes of the gentry, culture is their pride and dignity, and they must fight for their pride and dignity at any time.

So it is.

In this era, there are also a lot of barbarians among the gentry. Once someone says something insulting to the culture, they will immediately refute it, regardless of the occasion and regardless of their status.

Just like the integrity of historians who go forward and succeed, they will never compromise. Although they sometimes seem a bit pedantic and stubborn, it is also their cute side.

"..."

Seeing Wu Liang being bumped into, Cao Ang's face clearly showed a trace of displeasure, but in the end he just squirmed his lips and did not speak.

Because this kind of cultural and academic discussion is encouraged in this era, if Cao Ang uses military power and identity to suppress, it will be regarded as a blasphemy against culture and academics. No small impact.

and……

Cao Ang was not an ignorant person, and he knew immediately about Xu Fu that what the official said was actually true, but his mouth was a bit poisonous, and his words carried some sense of personal attack.

However, Wu Liang just smiled indifferently, and bowed his hands to the official and said: "You are right, I just guessed it casually, blame me for talking too much, and showing shame."

In fact, after Wu Liang finished asking, he had already thought of the problems:

It is indeed very possible that Xu Fu went to sea and finally reached the Wa Kingdom and settled down there.

Because it is clearly recorded in the history books that when Xu Fu set off, in addition to carrying three thousand boys and girls, he also carried food, clothing, medicine, farming tools, and seeds that could consume three years. It cost a lot of money to go to the sea to search for immortal medicines, most of which were provided by Qin Shihuang.

Then, Xu Fu disappeared without a word.

Some people think that Xu Fu most likely died on the way to find the elixir.

But through some details recorded in the history books, Wu Liang believes that Qin Shihuang was deceived, and Xu Fu is obviously a planned and organized defection.

There are three reasons:

[-]. Before Xu Fu went to sea this time, he had gone to sea many times. It is very likely that he had discovered the Wa country, and as early as in the history books of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, it had been recorded that there were some trade activities between the Qi country and the overseas Wa country. Xu Fu happened to be from Qi, so he was more likely to know the existence of Wa;
[-]. The supplies that Xu Fu carried along with him are suspicious. If he just went to sea to search for immortal medicines, there would be no problem with such supplies as food, clothing, medicines, etc. The problem was mainly with farm tools and seeds. He went to sea. Could it be that he still used them at sea? To get the plow and the seed, isn't that an obvious readiness to live somewhere?

[-]. There is a feud between Qi State and Qin State. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he carried out tyranny. Many royal families and gentry families in Qi State were slaughtered and expelled. As a member of Qi, Xu Fu naturally had natural hatred for Qin Shihuang, so there existed Motives to cheat and defect.

However, these are not the core issues of Wu Liang's self-doubt. The core is that since Xu Fu fled to Wa Kingdom, he settled down in Wa Kingdom.

So how could the Japanese people come to the Celestial Dynasty to look for Xu Fu, and it was still after 400 years?

This is the main reason why Wu Liang also felt that his guess might be wrong.

As a result, the voice just fell.

"It's Xu Fu, what Wu Taishi said is correct, the queen of our country ordered me to come and find Xu Fu's trace!"

Qi Litong has already affirmed Wu Liang loudly.
