Chapter 267: The pen is like a god
As an expert and scholar who studies Dunhuang culture, Professor Duan Wenjie's understanding of history is absolutely masterful, and it is appropriate that Govin called him to ask for advice about Ming history.
That night, Duan Wenjie called Ge Wen back, and the two chatted on the phone for an hour before explaining the confusion in Ge Wen's heart.
In addition, when Professor Duan Wenjie learned that Ge Wen wanted to create works about the history of the Ming Dynasty, he also recommended a professor from the Department of History of Peking University to Ge Wen, who had studied the history of the Ming Dynasty in China the most deeply since the death of Mr. Wu Han.
So in the following days, Ge Wen concentrated on studying the history of the Ming Dynasty at home, and when he encountered contradictions in the historical books, he asked Duan Wenjie and the professors of the history department of Peking University for advice.
In view of the fact that Govin has many doubts and doubts about the history of the Ming Dynasty, and the old professor of the history department of Peking University is also busy with his lecture tasks and research work, it is impossible to do nothing all day and only deal with Govyn's questions. So the old professor introduced his protégé, Ning Suxin, to Gowen.
According to the old professor, don't look at Ning Suxin as a senior student, but he has a family history and knows a lot about the history of the Ming Dynasty, so Gewen can directly ask Ning Suxin for advice if he has a problem.
So Govin got into contact with this beautiful woman named Ning Suxin.
And Ning Suxin is the intellectual beauty of Peking University who appeared at the rock party a few days ago.
I have to say that the female disciple of the old professor is very good, and Govin encountered so many problems in the process of reading history, but this girl just looked at it, and slowly answered Govyn's questions in a few words, which made Govine very admirable.
And when Ning Suxin learned that he was going to tell Gewen about the history of the Ming Dynasty, he was also overjoyed.
Govin was her idol.
In this era, the term idol has become popular, such as Lai Ning, Lei Feng, Zhang Haidi...... and other characters because of their touching deeds, many people worship and regard them as idols, and Govin is also one of the members who are worshipped.
Ning Suxin graduated from university in the New Year, and she also passed the assessment of the graduate students of the Department of History of Peking University, so this girl has more time. Instead of staying at school most of these days, I went to Govyn's quadrangle.
After a few more days, there was no doubt about Gowen, and Ning Suxin still ran to Gowen's house every day.
It's not that Ning Suxin fell in love with Gowen, but that the various parties, various characters, and various chats in the Gowen courtyard house fascinated her very much. She was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and she was dazzled by the various discussions in the courtyard.
Don't look at Ning Suxin's understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty has reached the level of an expert, but she was born in a scholarly family, received a traditional education, and is interested in the various ideas, cultures, and isms that are often discussed in the courtyard, involving all aspects of literature and art...... I don't know anything.
So when Govin didn't have doubts, Ning Suxin's favorite thing was to sit quietly in a corner of the crowd, hungry and thirsty to absorb the knowledge of others.
Even when Ge Wen, who walked out of the study one day to change her mind, Li Xingmin, the author of "The Exciting Age", and some other young scholars were arguing fiercely about "whether the greatest achievement in the field of physics in this century is the theory of relativity or quantum mechanics", as a liberal arts student, although she did not understand these science terms, she still watched the debate of several people with relish.
Ning Suxin, who saw the art salon in the courtyard for the first time, was undoubtedly shocked.
Although China has begun the process of reform and opening up in the past '84 years, and the slogan of emancipating the mind has been shouted for many years, the whole society is still very strict in restricting young people.
At this time, the large shì is-
Since Deng Gong proposed in October 1983 that "the ideological front should not engage in spiritual pollution", in many places, the opposition to spiritual pollution has been expanded.
Male students with long hair, wearing bell bottoms and even down jackets have become mental pollution, many school principals guard the school gate early in the morning, with a pair of big scissors, and meet students with long hair and bell bottoms to go up is a pair of scissors. Cut the long hair at the top and the trouser corners at the bottom, unambiguously.
In Ning Suxin's impression, it seems that only a school like Peking University, which leads the "New Culture Movement" and the "May Fourth Movement", pursues progress, democracy, freedom, and is inclusive and inclusive, will have the scene in front of her, where everyone sits around and talks loudly and speaks freely, arguing about their own ideas and ideas. Outside of Peking University, even if you get together in the park to chat, you will be driven away by the old lady with the red armband in the park.
Compared with the discussions of those students on the campus of Peking University, the topics in the courtyard are undoubtedly more sensitive and thought-provoking, and many topics are a little frightened when Ning Suxin listens to them, and she has to admire that Govin can accommodate so many rebellious people.
Sometimes, after debate, everyone agrees.
But more often than not, when everyone was debating, no one could convince anyone, and whenever everyone was about to turn the discussion into spitting insults and exposing each other, someone would slap the table or pound on the door, and then both sides of the debate would read out in unison a notice that Govin had posted on the door.
I disagree with you, but I defend your right to speak to the death!
Then everyone calmed down and put the argument aside.
This kind of controversy, which has nothing to do with self-interest and only gives advice to the country, seems to be poisonous, which makes Ning Suxin sink into it quickly, and he is reluctant to turn back for a long time. Because of this, she admired Govyn even more.
And just when Ning Suxin was immersed in the controversy and battle in the courtyard, Govin finally began to write again.
It's still the stack of manuscript paper with only a few words written "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and it's still the Parker pen sent by Ba Lao.
This time, Govin didn't pause.
After thinking for a while, the round-tipped nib waltzed on the manuscript paper, and the ink flowed smoothly down the nib.
Let's start with an archive.
Name: Zhu Yuanzhang
Aliases (nicknames): Zhu Chongba, Zhu Guorui
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Han
Blood type:?
Education: No diploma, Xiucai is not a scholar, and he has studied by himself
Occupation: Emperor
Family origin: (at least three generations) poor peasants
Born and died: 1328-1398
Favorite color: Yellow (I don't seem to have to choose this)
Social:
Father: Zhu Wusi, farmer
Mother: Chen, farmer (sorry, her name doesn't seem to be in the history books)
Motto: What's yours is mine, I'm still mine
Major Experiences:
1328-1344 cattle grazing
From 1344 to 1347, he was a monk, and his main job was to go out to beg for food (this ...... )
From 1347 to 1352, he was a monk, and his main job was to ring bells
1352-1368 Rebellion (This Fierce)
From 1368 to 1398, his main job was to be emperor
The matter of Qiē began on that night in 1328, when the wife of the farmer Zhu Wusi, Chen, gave birth to a baby boy, and everyone knows that this baby boy was the later Zhu Yuanzhang. When Emperor Dafan was born, there will be some similar strange records in later history books.
For example, the wind, the rain, the aroma, the stars in the sky, the red light everywhere, anyway, I want to tell you that this person is different from others. Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang was no exception, when he was born, the red light was all over the ground, and there was a strange light in the house at night, so that the neighbors thought it was on fire and ran to rescue him ("Ming Shilu").
However, at that time, the mood of the farmer Zhu Wusi was not like the anxious and joyful fathers we see outside the hospital delivery room today, as a father who already has three sons and two daughters, the first thing to consider is the problem of eating.

……
In the previous life, Mingyue's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was based on the records in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", based on the historical materials of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", combined with some archives, notes, wild history, and inscriptions.
In the eyes of ordinary people, in addition to filling in some gaps in history, Mingyue's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" can basically find its roots in "History of the Ming Dynasty".
In the eyes of most people, Mingyue's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is a history reader!
However, after so many days of research on the history of the Ming Dynasty, after consulting Duan Wenjie, the old professor of the Department of History of Peking University, Ning Suxin and others, Gewen found that Mingyue's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in his previous life also had a lot of inaccuracies.
In fact, it is no wonder that Mingyue's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" will not match the real history, and the "History of the Ming Dynasty" he chose is a big problem itself!
Among the 24 histories of China, the History of the Ming Dynasty is considered to be the most complete history book in the minds of later generations of historians.
The "History of the Ming Dynasty" was compiled for the longest time, the most diligently, and the largest number of volumes, compared with the historical books of other dynasties, the writing is elegant and clean, and the narrative is concise, which is impressive.
But this qiē can't hide the biggest problem of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" -
That is, the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was ordered by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and revised by a group of official scholars!
This has been recognized in later generations.
After studying various historical books and documents of the Ming Dynasty, later historians found that although the compilation level of the History of the Ming Dynasty was very high, there were many inaccuracies.
Historically, the Qing army was regarded as a Tartar by the people of the Central Plains, and it was a minority minority, even if the Qing Dynasty finally won the Central Plains, it was not popular with the people, so there would be the tragedy of Jiading three massacres in Yangzhou for ten days. If it weren't for the later Kangqian prosperity that allowed the common people to slowly succumb, no matter how powerful the Qing army was, it would not have been able to rule China for so many years.
It was in this context that the History of the Ming Dynasty was compiled.
Soon after the Qing army entered the customs, it had not yet stabilized the regime, so it was impatient to revise the "History of the Ming Dynasty". The purpose is obvious. The first is to announce the death of the Ming Dynasty, and at that time, the Hongguang court in Nanjing was confronting the north and south of the Qing Dynasty. The second is to use this to envelop the remnants of the Ming Dynasty and compile and revise the "History of the Ming Dynasty", so that those Han officials of the Ming Dynasty who descended to the Qing Dynasty have an emotional sustenance.
However, this history book was compiled for a full sixteen years, and it was not completed until the fourth year of Qianlong!
It was so consumed that those Ming Dynasty relics and those well-known literati and scholars died for various reasons before the compilation was completed!
By the time the History of the Ming Dynasty was completed, the Qing Dynasty had stabilized its political power, the economy was gradually recovering, and in the late Kangxi period, there was a prosperous era, and the common people were willing to become their slaves.
Therefore, many historical facts in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" were artificially hidden, and many histories were forbidden to be written by the ruling class of the Qing Dynasty, and historical facts that were unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty were almost invisible in the "History of the Ming Dynasty".
As the official compilation of the Qing Dynasty, the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was written in accordance with the principle that whatever is beneficial to our dynasty is written, and whatever is unfavorable to our dynasty is strictly forbidden to be recorded, these two things were revised.
If we think about the literary prison of the Qing Dynasty, and how many literati who did not obey the ruling class of the Qing Dynasty were beheaded, we can understand how credible the content of the History of the Ming Dynasty really is.
After such research, Govin naturally would not repeat the mistakes of Mingyue in his previous life.
Govin just borrowed Mingyue's idea and recognized Mingyue's concept that "all history can be written beautifully".
In terms of content, it is written based on the real historical facts that I have summarized.
The so-called letter is better than no book, "History of the Ming Dynasty" can be referenced, but not faithful!

……
Zhu Chongba spent his childhood in a dilapidated thatched hut with cool winters and warm summers, ventilated on all sides, and good lighting, and his main job was herding cattle for the landlord Liu De's family. He used to want to study, but Zhu Wusi couldn't afford the tuition, he didn't have the sentiment of Li Mi hanging a book with horns, and naturally he didn't have a big official like Yang Su to appreciate him, so he honestly helped Liu De herd cattle for 12 years.
Because, he wants to eat.
At this time, Zhu Chongba's dream is to live well, and when he was sixteen years old, he asked Mrs. Wu at the entrance of the village to be a matchmaker, find a girl who is diligent and able to work as a daughter-in-law, and then give birth to his own children, the names of the children may be Zhu Saner, or Zhu Si0, and when Zhu Saner and others are older, let them go to the landlord Liu Xiaode's house to graze cattle.
This is Zhu Chongba's happy yearning for the future life at the age of sixteen.
