PS: Feng pushed, thank you to the editor-in-chief of the eight groups, thank me for the editor-in-charge Sanshengda, of course, the most grateful is my book friends, without your support, I would not have been able to get to this point. In addition, I would like to ask for your continued support, thank you.

"I really don't understand what Mr. Lu and Mr. Qian mean, they actually held Xiao Fei's stinky feet in the name of the department and helped him hold a press conference, don't you think this is a slap in the face?"

"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty is not professional at all, the author's attitude towards history is not correct and rigorous, as far as I see the few chapters so far, it is full of fallacies, such a vulgar thing is about to be praised by those people, even the two teachers are constantly praising it, I really feel sad!"

In a hotel outside the school, in a private room, there are several students.

Sitting in the center is Zhou Chao, a doctoral student led by Lu Zelin.

The food hasn't come up yet, it's the time for small talk before eating. These people in the house are Zhou Chao's best friends, and they can also be regarded as his followers, and they often get together on weekdays.

Zhou Chao felt very uncomfortable when he thought that the department came forward to help Xiao Fei hold a press conference on "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and praised the book unprecedentedly at the press conference.

He thought, if the department could be so enthusiastic about me, I would have become famous a long time ago.

Zhou Chao's main research direction is also Ming history, and his doctoral dissertation "Examination of the Folk Popular History of the Ming Dynasty" that he spent two years writing - in fact, it is a book of more than 180,000 words. Zhou Chao was very excited.

It is rare for a doctoral dissertation monograph to be published.

How many people can't find a way to publish their doctoral dissertations. I had to put it on the shelf and enjoy it myself, or simply take the internal printing route, and find a printing house to compile and print it into a book and distribute it to relatives and friends.

Zhou Chao is like this. Luckily.

At that time, Zhou Chao hoped that Lu Zelin could write an article to help him recommend it in the media, so that he could increase the printing volume.

Lu Zelin also agreed at that time, and later he did write a small recommended article and publish it in a journal on historical research.

Seeing the recommendation article that Lu Zelin wrote for himself, Zhou Chao almost burst into tears, he felt that his mentor was too good to him.

But now, compared with the support provided by Lu Zelin to Xiao Fei, Zhou Chao feels. The little article that Lu Zelin wrote for himself was like a joke.

Because, the magazine is okay in the circle, but the impact on the vast readership is pitiful.

As a result, Zhou Chao's "Ming Dynasty Folk Popular History Examination" just bubbled up in a small circle, and after the book came out, a total of 3,000 copies were printed, and now, it has been on the shelves for more than a month. Only one or two hundred copies were sold.

The publishing house told Zhou Chao that the book would be taken off the shelves in half a month.

In other words, the book will never see the light of day again.

Unless Zhou Chao can rise against the trend in the future and achieve a generation of historical masters. It is only possible that the book will be reprinted.

After two years of hard work, it didn't even arouse a big reaction, and it was forgotten. Zhou Chao felt that he was really miserable.

He always believed. My own book is a good book, but the current era is too impetuous. No one can dive into a history monograph.

This is true even for people in historical circles.

Here's why. Zhou Chao saw Xiao Fei launch "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", which was reported by many domestic media, and the department helped him to come forward to hold a press conference, which was the main reason for the serious imbalance of his mentality after he was so sensational for a while.

He didn't quite understand why a book like "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" could be so popular.

Judging from some of the chapters he has seen, Zhou Chao believes that this book is just a popular translation and interpretation of the history of the Ming Dynasty.

It is undeniable that the words and sentences in the book are lively and interesting, which is the strength of this book.

However, historical research is a very serious matter, and we must respect the real historical materials and have the spirit of objectivism, rather than arbitrarily subjectively speculating.

In Zhou Chao's eyes, the book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is full of flaws and faults.

Such a book, in the eyes of professionals, should be a joke.

On the contrary, it has been sought after too much.

This is unfair to scholars who have been engaged in historical research for many years. Well! Strictly speaking, it's too unfair to himself!

If the department can spare no effort to cultivate itself, can give itself a press conference, and solemnly recommend his "Ming Dynasty Popular History Examination" to the whole society, then maybe he can also become popular, right?

Even if this kind of press conference is too commercial, if the famous historians in the department come forward to write some praise and affirmation articles for themselves and publish them everywhere, then their status as a young generation of historians can also be established.

However, the reality is too cruel.

A rookie in history like himself, a person like himself who vows to dedicate his life to historical research, in the eyes of the leaders of the department, is not as important as Xiao Fei, a half-bottle of vinegar for historical research.

Zhou Chao was very angry.

There are too many complaints and complaints in my heart.

He wanted to impulsively go to Lu Zelin and quarrel with him, and ask him face to face, what is this doing? Why would you rather strongly recommend Xiao Fei's vulgar and rotten historical popular interpretation, than to promote yourself with your heart.

But he didn't have the guts.

He was afraid that if he did this, he would leave a bad impression in Lu Zelin's heart, and he would be beaten into a small black house by the teacher for the rest of his life.

Zhou Chao could only lick his wounds silently, and then, find a few brothers he thought he could trust, drink some wine together, borrow wine to drown his sorrows, or take the opportunity to complain.

Anyway, that's it.

Since sitting in this private room, Zhou Chao has been talking for several minutes, and he feels that if he doesn't say these words, he will be suffocated.

Zheng Xingyu and Zhou Chao are good friends and loyal followers of Zhou Chao.

Zheng Xingyu has always been very close to Zhou Chao.

This time Zhou Chao convened a gathering, of course, Zheng Xingyu was indispensable.

Zhou Chao complained one after another. criticized the teachers and leaders in the department, and scolded Xiao Fei's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" to bullshit.

Zheng Xingyu and several other people kept looking at each other. They were all silent, and very few added to the fire.

Everyone is studying history. Naturally, I have a deeper understanding of the book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".

If you say that this book is not professional enough, then everyone will agree.

However, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is not a research monograph in the first place, right? This book is not a textbook, it is a popular science book of history, it is for ordinary people to read, to help ordinary people understand the history of the Ming Dynasty!

If you look at it from this point of view, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is definitely quite successful!

Why do ordinary people use history reading? Isn't it just to increase some knowledge, pleasure the body and mind, and get some pleasure in reading? You ask them to gnaw on historical monographs like historians. How many people can endure loneliness?

Everyone understands people, and it's not good to put it through it.

Zheng Xingyu knew that Zhou Chao was doing something with a jealous mentality!

Isn't Zheng Xingyu jealous?

He was also jealous of Xiao Fei, who had only been in the history department for half a year, and came up with such a historiography work, which was fully affirmed by the department, not to mention, and was also popular with the media, seeing that this book may be a big hit.

Zheng Xingyu was also very envious, he thought. Why can't I write a history book like this and become famous all over the world?

At this time, Zheng Xingyu already had the idea of imitating Xiao Fei's brushwork and reinterpreting history.

He thought. What Xiao Fei can do, I will write seriously, and I will definitely be able to do it.

Zheng Xingyu thinks that his writing is okay. Although not as powerful as Xiao Fei, play a little humorous spoof. He's doing it too!

He thought, he still had to get closer to Xiao Fei. Ask him for advice and learn some skills from his masters.

Follow the trend as soon as possible!

Zheng Xingyu has already made such a calculation.

"Xingyu, tell me, Lu Zelin is not too disagreeable? He must have received some benefits from Xiao Fei, so he advocated for him like this, it must be like this! ”

Zhou Chao talked to himself for a long time, but he didn't get any response, so he turned his head and said to Zheng Xingyu.

Before, no matter what Zhou Chao said, Zheng Xingyu nodded in agreement, and would praise it loudly.

But this time, Zhou Chao did not wait for Zheng Xingyu's expected response.

Zheng Xingyu just smiled.

He neither nodded nor spoke. Zheng Xingyu just smiled so lightly without saying anything.

"Xingyu, what are you laughing at? Tell me your opinion, don't you think that the Department of History of Peking University is now messed up by Lu Zelin? Zhou Chao frowned and asked.

Zheng Xingyu scratched his head, he didn't want to offend Zhou Chao, so he said: "Brother Zhou, Professor Lu is your mentor, you say bad things about him behind your mentor's back, I don't think it's too good, be careful that the wall has ears, it is heard by someone with a heart, and when you say that to Professor Lu, aren't you passive?" ”

Zheng Xingyu's answer made Zhou Chao very unhappy.

This is in the hotel outside the school, the private room of this hotel is still very soundproof, and I just complained to a few of my trusted buddies, what would be the problem?

"Xingyu, could it be that you want to go to the snitch?" Zhou Chao said coldly.

He said this very harshly.

If it was in the past, Zheng Xingyu would definitely have explained it with sincerity and fear when he heard this.

However, now, Zheng Xingyu feels very tired in his heart.

What does that mean? This is a serious insult to my character! Is that kind of person for me, Zheng Xingyu?

"Brother Zhou, I have good intentions, how can you say that? It makes me so sad. Zheng Xingyu shouted loudly.

"Humph! Villain! Zhou Chao looked at Zheng Xingyu, his eyes full of contempt. Is this still the little brother who listens to his words and welcomes him in every way?

He actually contradicted himself again and again, and Zhou Chao's eyes changed when he looked at Zheng Xingyu.

Look at the long, thin neck, look at the bony rolling eyes. No matter how he looks at Zheng Xingyu now, he feels that the other party is a capricious villain.

Zheng Xingyu was stunned.

He didn't expect Zhou Chao to scold himself for being a villain.

Recalling the anger he received from Zhou Chao in the past, Zheng Xingyu's heart was also full of flames.

"Brother Zhou, you actually scolded me for being a villain?" Zheng Xingyu Huo Ran got up and said to Zhou Chao word by word.

Zhou Chao sneered: "You are a villain!" What's the matter, do you think the truth is ugly? You're nothing more than a dog to me! What are you doing standing? Do you want to blow up the thorn or what? ”

"Okay! The surname is Zhou, I used to treat you as a friend, and you only treated me as a dog, everyone heard it, right? You all know what the surname Zhou is, right? He didn't even take us personally! Is such a person worth associating? Okay, I can see it clearly, Zhou Chao, you are a cow, you are amazing, we can't climb high! Bye-bye, you! ”

Zheng Xingyu was also completely furious, and after he finished speaking, he slammed the table, turned around and walked outside.

The two of them have a complete falling out.

"Get out! Fuck off! What is it! People like dogs are also coming to mess with me! Zhou Chao waved his hand angrily and said.

Zheng Xingyu had already walked out of the door and closed the door with a "bang".

Zhou Chao watched Zheng Xingyu leave, and a trace of panic rose inexplicably in his heart, he thought, this Zheng Xingyu won't really go to the informant, right?

If that's the case, he'll be really out of luck.

He was worried.

Several other people in the original seats also stood up at this time.

"Brother Zhou, it suddenly occurred to me that there is still something urgent to do, so I have to leave quickly! I won't eat this meal tonight. ”

"Brother Zhou, me too, my family asked me to buy some medicine in Beijing, but I haven't bought it yet, so I have to leave first."

That's it, after a while, all the hulala people are gone, and only Zhou Chao is left alone.

This is because what Zhou Chao said just now was too bad, and everyone present was very hurt in their hearts. Zhou Chao actually treated Zheng Xingyu as just a dog's leg, so did he treat himself like this?

I feel uncomfortable thinking about it.

So, the big guys couldn't sit still, and they all felt that Zhou Chao was now losing his demeanor, and he didn't know what he would say if he sat down again.

So, the big guys invariably make up a vulgar reason.

Directly got up and left.

Zhou Chao was stunned.

As soon as he let out a "hey", before he could stop it, the people were gone.

At this moment, the door of the private room opened, and the waiter began to serve the food. There was a table of dishes, and he was the only one left sitting there.

This situation made Zhou Chao extremely depressed and annoyed.

What a time of crisis! I just encountered a small hurdle, and my friends left one after another.

"Let's go! Let's! I kind of recognize you for what you are, what a friend! Phew! It's just some kind of inflamed guys! Wait, wait! Someday, I'm going to blow your mind at all of you! Rotten things like "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" can be popular, and my book will definitely become popular! ”

Zhou Chao drank and ate food alone, and when he was slightly drunk, he scolded.

He drank a lot, but he felt that his mind was still very clear, and he had already thought of his own path to fame! Well! He wants to become popular by criticizing "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"! With his solid foundation in Ming history, isn't it trivial to pick out the mistakes in Xiao Fei's rotten book and batch it into a sieve? (To be continued......)
