Chapter 35 Your Setting Is Too Forceful

Although at that time, after seeing the swearing textual research of this group of friends named Escape from Destiny, Liu Xu wanted to correct the other party's bad view of history.

But in the end Liu Xu held back, because he discovered that the culprit who caused this funny textual research was actually himself.

It is because I only intercepted the history of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and wrote it for everyone to read. People who do not have common sense of earth history will naturally make up a lot of things based on their imagination after seeing such a Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

And I am qualified to mock the other party like this on the basis of knowing the entire Chinese history.

On the other hand, the history of Huaxia is so vast that what can be recorded in the history books is just a drop in the ocean. Is the history that Liu Xu himself firmly believes in the real history?
Take the author of Dream of Red Mansions as an example, although almost everyone thinks that the author of this book is Cao Xueqin.But in fact, this research result was only obtained during the period of the Republic of China.Before the Republic of China, no one could identify the real author of the Dream of Red Mansions, because there was no reliable historical data to record this matter.

The Dream of Red Mansions was created by Cao Xueqin, and it was only the result of research by Hu Shi, the ambassador to the United States of the Republic of China. Who can guarantee that this ambassador Hu Shi was not praying for escape from fate at this time, but based on some assumptions of his own, and finally speculated on the origin of the Dream of Red Mansions. Is the author Cao Xueqin?
Thinking of this, Liu Xu has no intention of criticizing this group of friends at all, and even admires him very much, because logically speaking, it is still very awesome that he can infer such a result from the only information.

Moreover, Liu Xu further discovered that readers of Romance of the Three Kingdoms are now almost used to various incomprehensible nouns, and many readers even regard researching the meaning of various nouns as the greatest pleasure.

For example, the current Comparative Dictionary of Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been updated to the ninth edition, which already contains explanations for more than 9 words, all of which are done by readers spontaneously, and the total number of participating readers exceeds 700. The daily fun of many readers is to spray each other in the group.

Oh, no, it should be discussing the specific meaning of a word.

Of course, there are also some newcomers who have just joined the group and curiously ask the bosses in the group some terms that they don't understand.

For example, there is a reader named "I am Brother Nine" who just entered the group within a few minutes, and has already asked very eagerly in the group, "What does it mean to hold the emperor to make the princes? I often read it in novels. I saw this sentence, but I didn’t understand what it actually meant.”

"do not know."

"The same question"

"Don't you know how to compare dictionaries?"

Putting aside these replies with bad attitudes, there are still more patient group friends who replied, "It's actually easy to explain by holding the emperor to order the princes. You can read the dictionary and you will know that the emperor and the emperor have the same meaning. They are the sons of the gods." , is also the king who ruled the world of the Three Kingdoms, and in the current timeline of the novel, that is Han Xiandi Liu Xie."

"Then came the princes. At the beginning, it can be inferred from the gathering of the eighteen princes at Hulaoguan that the princes should be the leaders of the private armed forces with territories, soldiers and people under their hands."

"Use the emperor to order the princes. This sentence was originally put forward by Cao Cao's counselors when he helped Cao Cao come up with ideas. Combining the plot before and after, it can be clearly understood that he wanted Cao Cao to control the emperor and then order the princes in the name of the emperor. So as to achieve the goal of conquering the world!"

Seeing this answer, Liu Xu couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

So I have seen too many unreliable textual research before, but in fact, in general, my readers are quite powerful.Many things that Liu Xu didn't write clearly at all, under their various guesses, combined with the context, and some logical judgments, they all inferred that they were almost indistinguishable.

To take the comparison dictionary before as an example, more than 76.8% of the words were explained very accurately.

Of the remaining 23.2%, more than half of them are correct, but there are big discrepancies in the details. The real level of textual research of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty is less than 3%, which is why Liu Xu did not come forward. The reason for stopping this comparative dictionary, because this comparative dictionary is really useful.

For example, this group of friends now explains the meaning of coercing the emperor to make the princes. Except that the explanation of the princes is a bit sloppy, and you can't be called a prince if you have soldiers, the rest are completely fine.

In addition, it was not Cao Cao's counselors who put forward the phrase of coercing the emperor to order the princes, but the history book "Zuo Zhuan" in the Spring and Autumn Period.

But even Liu Xu, the author himself, nodded his head and explained. Unexpectedly, the reader who asked the question retorted, "I also thought that was the meaning at first, but after thinking about it, I found it very wrong. I read a total of There have been three emperors, and the first emperor openly bought and sold officials, triggering the Yellow Turban Rebellion."

"The second emperor was directly killed by Dong Zhuo."

"And the third emperor became a plaything in Cao Cao's hands. Regardless of the character of these emperors, the emperor himself has lost prestige. How could the people accept such a person as the supreme leader."

"Even if the people in the novel are very ignorant, those who are qualified to be called princes are obviously smarter than the other. How could they just bow their heads and submit to their opponents just because of a letter from the emperor? ?”

"Also in the novel, almost everyone, including Cao Cao and Liu Bei, would kneel on the ground when they saw such an empty emperor. people."

"So I think the author didn't handle this well. Here, he completely used all the characters in the novel as tools. The normal logic should be that Cao Cao directly killed the Son of Heaven, and then called himself the Son of Heaven. This is what Cao Cao is like. What the strong should do, instead of continuing to kneel down to a child." I am Brother Nine, said generously.

"Hey, someone has finally brought up this issue. I also think that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is still a big problem. Some things are handled too hastily. The setting of the Son of Heaven is indeed too forceful!"

Immediately afterwards, the group of friends began to discuss the setting of the Son of Heaven, and finally concluded that the setting of the Son of Heaven and the Emperor was a major mistake made by the author. It is impossible for the Son of Heaven to have such a huge influence, and there is no need for the heroes Treating the Son of Heaven like this is completely forced plot setting and so on.
