"You are not wrong when you say that Cao Cao is a big traitor, because this is his folk image. As I said, there are three kinds of historical figures, the historical, the literary, and the folk. Professor Yi said gently, "But the image of a traitor is unjust and does not conform to historical facts." ”

Everyone present was very interested in this topic, which was much more interesting than the old district chief's talk about how much food to shoot throughout the year, and immediately pricked up their ears and listened attentively, and even the three boys who were sorting out the literary and historical materials in the next wing room also came out and sat on the windowsill to listen to the tutor talk about history.

At this time, the clouds in the west cracked a crack, shooting down a piece of golden sunlight, which fell like a ribbon in the Zhizhou Garden, like the aurora in the night sky, gorgeous and colorful, and a line of egrets flew through the sky.

Professor Yi took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Cao Cao has always had three evaluations - hero, traitor, and traitor. Mr. Lu Xun said that Cao Cao is actually a capable person, at least a hero. This is the image of the official history, and I personally agree with it very much, thinking that Cao Cao is a well-known hero. Cao Cao's image among the people is very bad and he is not liked by the common people for three reasons: one is that he is treacherous, the second is the usurper, and the third is that he said the words 'I would rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me', which made the simple people think that his character was very bad. ”

Wang Yun immediately responded: "That is, he killed Lu Boyu's family, and he didn't say anything about revenge, but also said, 'I'd rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me', it's too bad!" ”

Director Wang said: "When I read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I was thinking about how to defeat Cao Cao, especially the Battle of Chibi, which was very happy!" ”

Professor Yi smiled and explained calmly: "There are actually three versions of the allusion to killing Lu Boyu's family. The first version is from the Book of Wei, which says that Lü Bohao's son and his guests saw that Cao Cao had a lot of money and wanted to rob Cao Cao and take away his horse, at this time Cao Cao got up and drew his sword and killed them. This is called justifiable self-defense. But the Book of Wei was written by Wei people, and it may not be reliable, because Cao Cao is their ancestor, and the testimony of relatives cannot be counted.

The second record is that Cao Cao lived in Lu Bohao's house, and heard Lu Bohao's children making pots and pans there, and there was a voice, and Cao Cao himself was a criminal wanted by Dong Zhuo, so he became suspicious, 'suspected of himself', and killed Lu Bohao's family. This is called manslaughter. The third version, which is about the same, also says that Cao Cao suspected that Lu Bohao's family wanted to harm him, and then killed all of them. After killing, Cao Cao said sadly: I'd rather bear people than let people bear me.

It is speculated from these versions that Cao Cao should have killed Lu Bohao's family by mistake, and this person was a little too suspicious and a bit excessive. After he killed it, he found out that it was a manslaughter, and then said sadly - the word 'miserable' is very important, that is, he killed the wrong person, he is sad, forget it, I would rather let others down than others should not let me down. It's a kind of self-comfort, self-explanatory, and a reluctant defense of one's wrongdoing. And in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he became arrogant, and added the word "world in front of "I'd rather bear others, don't let others bear me", which is very different...... Cao Cao was a great poet, military strategist, statesman, and a historical figure with a complex personality. ”

Wang Yun likes the Three Kingdoms the most, and now she has long forgotten to talk to Yang Zijian about visiting Lan Xue, so she got over and used her poor knowledge of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to argue with Professor Yi about the image of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang and others, and fought to maintain her idols of the Three Kingdoms.

Director Wang, of course, stood on Wang's side and joined hands to argue with Professor Yi.

Professor Yi was tepid, his language was sharp and humorous, and he unceremoniously used historical materials such as "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" and Pei's notes, ancient poems, and literati's notes to spray the shallow historical view of Wang's father and daughter to the point of collapse.

Professor Yi admired Wang Yun's straightforwardness and innocence, and he smiled at the corner of his mouth: "You like literature and history so much, if you apply for university in the future, you should apply to Ludao University." ”

Wang Yun nodded and said seriously: "Yang Zijian and I are both planning to apply for Ludao University, but he is going to apply for the Department of History, I don't like anything other than the history of the Three Kingdoms, I want to apply for the Department of Journalism." ”

Professor Yi smiled: "Okay, you can come and listen to my class then." ”

After drinking tea for two hours, the old district mayor also fully understood Professor Yi's cultural research topics such as "The Holy Land of Min Studies", "Footprints of the Four Sages", and "Cradle of Science", and promised that the district would vigorously support the development of the tourist area according to the tourism model of the Ludao Special Economic Zone.

Professor Yi went to Nantang Town for five or six days, and fully felt the enthusiasm and resoluteness of the secretary and mayor of Nantang Town. Now there is another respected old district chief who has come out to endorse and support, especially the Lan Bo Zilai Lan family, which is a well-known revolutionary family in Fujian Province, and the old man is a ministerial-level cadre.

Moreover, I listened to some suggestions put forward by Yang Zijian, such as "giving free tickets" to various brother units with real power to prevent them from "fighting the autumn wind" and "sabotage", such as establishing a "Fujian Studies Research Association", inviting experts and scholars to be consultants and examiners, and taking the "honorary talent" examination.

He was finally convinced that this "Minxue Ancient Town Tourist Area" could be completed.

Professor Yi said with a smile: "If this 'civil imperial examination' is done, I will recommend myself to be this consultant." ”

Lan Bo, Xu Pingfan, and Mayor Ma immediately stood up to welcome and thank them.

Professor Yi thought for a while and said sincerely: "I would like to put forward a few suggestions: First, the Min Studies Association should be strictly regulated, so that it is stricter than the college entrance examination, even if the 'honorary talent' is forgotten, there were many in ancient times, but the 'honorary people' and 'honorary jinshi' should be carefully screened, and they cannot be regarded as cabbage, otherwise it will become a joke." Second, some overseas experts can be invited, and many countries in East Asia belong to the Confucian cultural circle, such as South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, etc., and there are also many sinologists in the United States and Europe. The third is that there is no need to be limited to Confucianism in Fujian, all schools of thought can be set up, and the highest level of Chinese culture should be the doctor of Taixue in the Western Han Dynasty! ”

Ma Yuanchao listened to it and nodded again and again, anyway, as long as it can attract tourists to develop the economy and make the town's finances better, he can try any method, and he found that the more knowledgeable people are, the bigger the brains.

Yang Zijian, of course, opposes the participation of Japanese scholars, but thinking that the relations between China and Japan are so good in this era, Japanese Prime Minister Toshiki Kaibe's visit to China in August this year is the first Western head of government to visit China after the storm and sanctions, and it can be regarded as the most friendly Western country to China.

The guests chatted happily all afternoon.

In the evening, the sun finally cleared the clouds and the sky cleared.

At five o'clock, the sun sets over the western mountains.

The guests were satisfied, and the old mayor of Lan got up to say goodbye, and outside the garden moon gate, he reluctantly said goodbye to Professor Yi.
