Chapter 147: Xu Tingsheng Under the Xishan Tower (4)

On the Saturday at Jianan University, the morning when the coach allowed the players to sleep in, Xu Tingsheng didn't actually sleep, he went out, found the dormitory area of the faculty of Jianan University, and knocked on the door of an elderly man's home.

This old man named Yan Zhenyu did his best to guide Xu Tingsheng on the road of historiography in his previous life, and he was carefully trained for four years, and finally he even did not hesitate to put down his figure and face to ask for someone for him, and to win the graduate places of several famous experts in the circle.

However, in order to alleviate the plight of his family at that time, Xu Tingsheng came out to work as soon as possible, but he chose to give up at the last moment, and all the old man's efforts were in vain.

After that, Xu Tingsheng, who was guilty, didn't even dare to say goodbye to the old man.

"Hello, Professor Yan, I am the one who sent you the letter earlier, Xu Tingsheng of Yanzhou University. Xu Tingsheng made up for the bow he owed back then.

An old man and a young man sat down in the house, made tea, and the first thing Yan Zhenyu said was: "Since Xiaoyou loves to study history, you should know the reputation of old age...... It's not too good, how can you trust me to make such an important discovery, and you won't be afraid ,......"

Seeing that Professor Yan took the initiative to bring up the old matter again, Xu Tingsheng couldn't bear to interrupt the old man's words, and said sincerely:

"Teacher Yan, I think...... You are a father first, and a historian second, and there are some things that are not necessarily right or wrong...... You are more worthy of my trust. ”

Yan Zhenyu opened his lips slightly, but finally did not speak.

Yan Zhenyu was originally a professor of history at a famous university in Northeast China, and after decades of hard work, he has accumulated great fame and authority in the entire historiography circle.

It stands to reason that he should not have come to a third-rate school like Jianan University in his capacity.

All the problems are in his son, a child from a scholarly family, a child who has seen history books since he was a child, and is considered to be a talented child, but in the end he insisted on taking the road of business, and then repeatedly defeated, owing a lot of debts and millions of huge sums of money.

For him, Yan Zhenyu let go of all principles. Some wealthy businessmen asked him to beautify his ancestors as traitors in his articles, and if he was given money, he would write them; some wealthy businessmen insisted on relying on their genealogy to Su Dongpo or some historical celebrities, and if they wanted to be the dozens of grandsons of celebrities, they would also publish it officially, and if they were given money, they would write it, and they would find a way to publish it; ......

It is said that useless is a scholar, this is the only way for Yan Zhenyu, who has been a scholar all his life.

In three years, he lost his reputation and was ridiculed and despised by countless peers. Among these people were his colleagues, old friends, and even his former students.

In three years, he paid off all his debts for his son, and then left the environment that could no longer accommodate him, and took his wife to Jianan University, which was widely regarded as "no foundation but money" at that time.

Literati have always cherished feathers, but Yan Zhenyu sold his reputation and principles, beliefs and status all for money, and the pain may only be understood by himself.

In his previous life, a classmate once said to Xu Tingsheng, the old man treated and cultivated you as his son when he was young, and wanted to make up for the regret in his heart in you and comfort himself.

It's a pity that Xu Tingsheng at that time finally disappointed the old man.

In the following conversation, the old man clearly pointed out the naivety and inadequacy in Xu Tingsheng's text, far-fetched, and even wrong, and Xu Tingsheng accepted them one by one. Cao Cao's tomb was not discovered after theoretical arguments, its discovery was an accident, and even until the end, it was very controversial.

But it is precisely because of this that experts debated, and some people consulted various historical books and found out a lot of evidence, and turned around to prove that this is indeed Cao Cao's tomb.

What Xu Tingsheng did was to turn these "bases for post-facto proof" into "evidences for prior discovery" as a history enthusiast, which is indeed very far-fetched.

"So, Professor Yan, once this article is published, there may always be a lot of controversy. Xu Tingsheng heard that the old man had helped to contact and publish the article, and said sincerely.

Professor Yan smiled generously: "I have done some research and made some revisions to the article, and we still have a chance to be right." Also, the old man has a cheeky face to put the three words of Yan Zhenyu in the second author, so that with me as a street rat, if there is anything, the spearhead will come to me.

You can rest assured, after all, you are still a child, and it is already good to have this kind of research and thinking. I think their attitude towards you should be more tolerant. ”

"Thank you...... Teacher Yan. Xu Tingsheng's change from professor to teacher is actually silently expressing the closeness he once had.

"Xiaoyou is polite, in fact, I also have selfish intentions, if we prove to be right in the end, the old man can also borrow the power of Xiaoyou, fight against the water, and turn over again. After all, it's Gaoling, and I hope that in my lifetime, I can touch a handful of soil ...... with my own hands."

The old man turned to the northwest, revealing an expression of infinite fascination.

Xu Tingsheng was sent all the way out of the door by the old man, and as he knew in his previous life, this was such a generous old man, even if it was just a "strange" child like Xu Tingsheng, he tried his best to help.

"In order to pay off the debts of the historiography. ”

The old man finally said. Xu Tingsheng didn't know whether what he said was used to repay debts was the eternal mystery Anyang Gaoling, or Xu Tingsheng, the seedling of historical research that he recognized and valued.

"Don't be me, teacher, I'm going to play a game, light a cannon and run. ”

……

Traditionally, the media has been uninterested in academic research, which is often obscure and lacking in explosive points. However, this time is different.

The word "Cao Cao" itself is the biggest breaking point, plus the "discoverer" is actually a "freshman student", another breaking point. Isn't the audience's favorite novelty and unexpected?...... There's nothing more to stir up the enthusiasm of the media.

Therefore, when the academic community is still arguing, the media has begun to "arch the fire" regardless of it, and the overwhelming reports like the previous life almost make it difficult for the public to think about it.

Moreover, it went off track.

Whether it is the media or the people, in the end, there is only one expectation and one voice: digging.

"Is it hard to distinguish between right and wrong?"

"What to discern, what to discuss?"

"Dig, wouldn't it be good if you dug it, won't the truth be revealed if you dig it?"

The media and the public can not care if the technical means are immature or not, and whether there is a need for rescue excavation...... All in all, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and if you don't see a clear result, everyone is itching.

"Maybe that freshman kid is right?"

"Wrong? What does it matter if it's wrong, he's just a kid. ”

"Anyway, let's dig it up. ”

In the midst of the disturbance, the students in Xishan University Town were shocked to find that this time, it was the guy named Xu Tingsheng who was the first year of Yanda who stirred up the wind and rain and made such a big noise......

"What else can't he do?"

This sentence is not derogatory, but for a while no one can find a better way to express it.

On this very day, someone published a headless post on the "Under the Creek Mountain Tower" forum in the university town, with only one title:

"Xu Tingsheng under the Xishan Tower. ”

What does this mean? Many people were confused, until someone followed the post and said in the same format, the same beginningless and endless expression:

"Foshan Huang Feihong. ”

The third person followed: "Ouyang Feng of White Camel Mountain." ”

The fourth.

Fifth.

Clause......

All the posts are in the same format.,The same no beginning and no end.,Those who understand have understood.,Those who don't understand still don't understand.。 Fortunately, some well-wishers helped to give an example as an explanation:

"Where are you from?"

"Foshan. ”

"Which Foshan?"

"Huang Feihong, that Foshan. ”

"Oh, got it. ”

Therefore, under the Xishan Tower, Xu Tingsheng.
