Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1949 I really can’t spray
This situation actually also illustrates another thing, that is, this serialized novel has become completely popular.

This is the first time that an online novel has been created that is faithful to the historical background and can withstand historical verification. However, unlike orthodox historical novels, it has room for time-travel imagination and is extremely engaging for readers.

The personalities of the characters and historical allusions hidden in the historical background of the story become the Easter eggs buried beneath the article.

Zhouzhi was even so perverted that even the question of whether Zhengzhou, which was upstream of Kaifeng Prefecture at that time, was a county or a prefecture, was rigorously searched and verified with the help of the Clover search engine. As a result, when some netizens suggested that it might be Zheng County, some netizens pointed out that Zhengzhou was indeed Zhengzhou at that time, but it was downgraded to Zheng County between the fifth year of Xining and the eighth year of Yuanfeng.

As the "Western Auxiliary" of the four auxiliary cities of the capital Kaifeng, Zhengzhou in the book also serves as an industrial base and an important node of the logistics channel connecting Luoyang. Its status is far more important than in real history, so it is impossible for it to be "downgraded" anymore.

Similarly, Zhou Zhi also discovered many problems that he had overlooked when he was studying before, such as whether Li Qingzhao's grandfather was Wang Gui or Wang Gongchen, while searching for his creation.

Zhou Zhi had read many notes by people in the Song Dynasty, as well as "History of the Song Dynasty", but he had never thought about this issue in a "connected" way.

When I started writing the book and needed to look up this information, I found that the "History of the Song Dynasty: Biography of Li Gefei" recorded it like this: "Li Gefei, courtesy name Wenshu, was from Jinan... His wife, Wang, was the granddaughter of Gongchen and was also good at writing. His daughter, Qingzhao, was particularly famous for her poetry and prose at the time. She married Zhao Tingzhi's son Mingcheng and called herself Yi'an Jushi."

But this record is almost an isolated evidence. To the contrary, there are some collections of essays written by contemporaries and the "Epitaph of Wang Gongchen" written by An Tao for Wang Gongchen.

In the epitaph, An Tao gave a fairly detailed account of Wang Gongchen's life and descendants, but did not mention a word about his grandson-in-law Li Gefei.

However, Wang Gui's "Wang Wengong Gonggui Shendao Stele", written by Wang Gui who died in the same year as Wang Gongchen, clearly recorded the relationship between Wang Gui and Li Gefei, "Prime Minister Wang Gonggui...died in office on the 5th month of the year Jiyou...Daughters: the eldest married Yunzhou professor Li Gefei, who died early; the second married former acting Taichang doctor Luqiu Yu; the third was promised to marry former Jinshi Zheng Juzhong, and was also granted the title of Penglai County Lady; the third was still young."

From this we can see that Wang Gui’s eldest son-in-law was indeed Li Gefei, but his eldest daughter died before Wang Gui.

"History of Song Dynasty" is an official historical document. Normally, its records cannot be overturned without evidence. Therefore, combined with the notes and the epitaphs and steles of the two big men, the biggest possibility is that Li Gefei married more than one wife in his life. His ex-wife was Wang Gui's eldest daughter, and his second wife was Wang Gongchen's granddaughter, and he married her some time after Wang Gongchen's death.

This leads to two questions.

First, historically speaking, Li Gefei's political and literary status were not high.

His achievements in Confucian classics were quite good. Although he was listed as one of the "Four Scholars after Su Shi", "Song History·Yiwenzhi" records that he only had 16 volumes of "Book of Rites", 5 volumes of "Historical Records", 1 volume of "", and 1 volume of "Records of Yongluo City".

The most famous article is "After Writing about the Famous Gardens in Luoyang", which I believe most Chinese people have never read.

The highest official position he held was just the Principal of Imperial College and the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Rites, neither of which was considered an important position.

This is amazing. What was so unique about Li Gefei that made two successive prime ministers marry their daughters to him?

In addition, there is another question: who was Li Qingzhao born to? Was she Wang Gui's granddaughter or Wang Gongchen's granddaughter? For example, when looking for information about the war, the exact location of Zhouzhi, a very important border in the history of Tang and Song dynasties, is also a historical mystery.

In ancient history, the Wei River was a not very honest river. It often suffered from floods and changed its course.

As an important war fortress and a battleground for military strategists, Weizhou was often destroyed, rebuilt, destroyed, and rebuilt again by the military forces that occupied it. Each time, its geographical location would be in a different position depending on the balance of power at the time.

The same situation also existed in the geographical location of Yan, Xia, Yin and Lin states, which were located in the border areas at that time.

Of course, Zhou Zhi's level in his previous life was not as high as that in this life. When writing novels, he would just do a simple check and be satisfied as long as it was enough to write the book without any mistakes.

This life is fun. After studying the problem thoroughly, you can easily write a research paper of several thousand words.

Many of them are directions and problems that have been ignored or confused by the academic community, so the quality of the articles is still very high. This kind of paper, which is eye-catching, has academic value, and is not too long, is also the favorite category of "Literature and History". Therefore, although Zhou Zhi was very busy during this period, the frequency of his articles being published in "Literature and History" has increased.

Although Zhou Zhi's main profession was phonology and exegesis, this was also a tradition within the school. Except for Gu Shaoxian, each subsequent generation was not limited to phonology and exegesis, but were experts in the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the history of the Tang Dynasty, and the Five Dynasties.

Now Zhou Zhi is developing towards being an expert in Song Dynasty history. Somehow, this tradition has been continued according to the order of dynasties. I don't know if this is God's will.

These studies, in turn, have strengthened the academic value of the novel "Su Chu". Although no one knows who the author is, rumors have emerged online that the author is a lazy counselor in the History Department of Peking University.

Mr. Gu and Gu Kailai were happy to see that writing novels could also produce some research results. Gu Kailai himself was an expert in the study of the Song Dynasty and had profound literary attainments. He even joined the ranks of those who found fault.

For example, Zhou Zhi quoted some famous poems by Su Shi. A book friend with the nickname "Carrying on the Past and Opening the Future" pointed out that the creation time of the poem did not match the timeline in the book, and the style of the poem was not Su Shi's early style. Zhou Zhi made it appear in the chapter in advance, which was a not-so-small flaw.

Regarding this kind of "finding fault post", Zhou Zhi could only sincerely thank the big guy for his advice, and at the same time said that the real situation was indeed as this book friend said, but because of the needs of the plot, this poem appeared in Su Shi's pen in the book in advance.

For such book friends, many book friends in the Chinese Department of Shu University would shout "Niu Niu Niu" loudly. Zhou Zhi secretly rolled his eyes when he saw these cheers. Your dean is, of course, awesome, Niu Niu Niu, but it is actually quite boring for him to personally come out and find fault.

Even so, there were still many voices criticizing the novel. Until the plot of the book developed and the protagonist began to write ancient poetry and prose, the voices of criticism suddenly became smaller.

Even graduate students in the Chinese department may not be able to write elegant, profound and thoughtful ancient letters and parallel prose according to the plot development in the book, or even poems that can accompany historical figures without being inferior to them, as the author can.

Using the comments of several interesting book friends, you can criticize other things, but you really can't criticize this one. Even Ji Li Kai Lai said that this is a sense of language cultivated by childhood, and it really can't be criticized.
