Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Fog of History
After Li Shouyi and his party left, it was already the beginning of the hour, Liu Fan was about to wash and rest, and saw Dong Zi hesitating next to him for a long time with a look of wanting to speak but being embarrassed, and said strangely: "What's wrong with you, I have never seen you hesitate like this." ”
I saw Dong Zi lower his head and whispered: "Brother, I still don't understand, haven't you forgotten everything since you woke up last time, how do you remember what happened when you were a child?" ”
When Liu Fan heard that this kid was pretending to be in trouble, he really couldn't be careless, people like this kind of honest Mu Na generally admit death, and it would be bad if the two brothers accidentally had an estrangement in their hearts.
He sat on the stool and said slowly, "Actually, not only you can see it, maybe Uncle Su has already seen it, since I woke up last time, I don't know why the original memory in my brain has been lost, but there are a lot of messy things, I can't accept it at first, but didn't you say it, as long as your life can stay, nothing else matters, so I didn't care at first." ”
"But slowly I found that some of the extra mess in my brain is quite useful, such as arithmetic and wine-making that I said today, but I can't tell General Li the truth that I have a lot of things in my head such as arithmetic and wine-making, and others don't see me as a monster, but I have to give them a reasonable explanation, what to do, I can only make up some lies to deal with them."
Seeing Dong Zi bowing his head or contemplative, Liu Fan continued: "Since the last time Ganzhou defended the city, I have put forward operational proposals to the General Headquarters of the Right Route Army, this time I proposed to use wine for the treatment of soldiers in the army, and I want to implement a soldier training plan in the army, all of which is actually to put it bluntly, I want my father and mother, my two sisters and Uncle Su's family to live a better life in the future." ”
"You can also see clearly, there is no power in this world, there is no wealth, the life of the common people is very difficult, we are now exchanging our lives for this little future is just to keep the family from starvation and cold, but this kind of knife licking blood work is also very likely to make us take our lives at any time on the battlefield behind, now my father and mother are old, the family depends on the two of us, once we have an accident, what do my parents and sisters rely on to live? They will most likely suffer forever in the future, therefore, as men, we must do something as soon as possible, accumulate some wealth, and let our parents and sisters and Uncle Su's family get out of poverty, at least so that they can live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives, this is what I've been thinking about lately, and trying to work in this direction, can you understand? ”
After Liu Fan finished speaking, Dong Zi immediately raised his head and said with a flushed face: "Brother, I understand, all this is for the family, for my father and mother, and for my sisters, I shouldn't have doubts about you in my heart, I ...... I will definitely listen to you in the future, and don't think nonsense anymore, we will not only let my father and mother have a good life, but also let my sisters live a good life. ”
"Hey, that's right, in fact, you don't have any problem asking my brother about these things, what do you want to ask, my brother will also tell you as it is, and I will also explain it to him clearly on Uncle Su's side, the key is not to let anyone else except you and Uncle Su know, this is very important, once others know and seize this matter to make a fuss, it is very likely that not only the three of us will lose everything in front of us, but also affect the family, so you have to remember this."
Dong Zi immediately continued: "Brother, I know, I will never say it to others, we are men, we are men, we fight for our parents and sisters, and strive to make them live a better life." ”
"Yes, then I can rest assured, when things here are a little more eyebrow-raising, let's go home with Uncle Su, what I want is to buy a small yard here first, take my father and sister over, if the conditions permit, take Uncle Su's family over, so that we can also pay homage to our parents at any time, the most important thing is that I want my sisters to see the world and learn something, so that their lives will be more improved in the future."
"Also, you are nineteen years old this year, and your age is not small, this time when I go back, I want to tell my father and mother, see if my father and mother can discuss with Uncle Su, can we book the matter between you and Ah Hui, I think Uncle Su is also very willing to do this family affair, at least he can rely on his old age."
Speaking of this, Liu Fan saw Dong Zi with his head down, his face was so red that he could almost bleed, and he didn't continue, this younger brother Mu Na is honest, and some things can't be said too much. I only heard Dong Zi whisper almost indistinctly, "Brother, why don't you get married?" ”
Liu Fan patted Dong Zi's head with a big grin and said, "You don't have to worry about your brother's affairs, I already have a good eye on a girl, and when I have eyebrows, I will tell my parents myself." It's not too early, let's put these things down and talk about it later, so let's go to sleep quickly! ”
When Liu Fan was lying on the bed, he suddenly thought that it had only been a long time, and he seemed to have integrated into this world!
Early the next morning, Liu Fan and Dong Zi had not put down their chopsticks after breakfast, only to see two guards work together to bring in a large wooden box with fine workmanship, saying that the person who came was still waiting for a reply at the door.
Liu Fan was puzzled: "What reply?" ”
The guard immediately said, "Someone said you would know when you opened the box." ”
Liu Fan opened the wooden box suspiciously, only to see a box full of books, not to mention twenty or thirty sets, each set of books are sealed with a letter sleeve, the books and the letter cover are exquisite and abnormal, there is a folded rice paper on the top, Liu Fan opened it casually, the rice paper is arranged with Arabic numerals Yang Hui Triangle, thinking that this girl will immediately learn to use, under which with the font Junxiu Xiaokai listed some of the basic characteristics and applications of Yang Hui Triangle one by one, Liu Fan browsed it in general, and it has been almost the same as the summary of later generations, I felt that this girl was really a rare mathematical genius, and I also understood what this girl meant, and let me see if the summary of Yang Hui's triangular characteristics was complete, but the whole article was just a summary of the numbers and characteristics of the arrangement, and there was no sentence asking Liu Fan to give guidance or mention something, just a sentence to the servant who sent the book waiting for a reply, Liu Fan couldn't help but smile secretly.
After pondering for a while, he said to the guard, "You can say to the visitor, 'The sum of each line is also the power of two'." ”
I thought to myself, "Yang Hui's triangle is broad and profound, just give a little hint, let her study and dig by herself, if she talks too much, she may pull out the seedlings and help them grow." ”
When the guards left, Liu Fan took out the books one by one to check, and there were more than a dozen sets of history books alone, including almost all the official histories from the historical records to the end of the Tang Dynasty.
In another world, Liu Fan collected a set of 25 histories of the Zhonghua Book Company, and knew that the records of the history of the Tang Dynasty included two books, the Old Tang Book and the New Tang Book, which were compiled by Liu Yun of the Later Jin Dynasty and Ouyang Xiu of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The author of this Tang book is Daqi Fan Cheng. Similar to the speculation that Liu Fan just came to this world, it is estimated that the current Great Qi inherited the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and history has changed here, and the historical records of another world have gone to two different parallel lines.
In addition to the history books, there are some more common exam-taking books in this era, such as the Analects and Mencius, and there are only two sets of books on Gewu, namely a set of "Four People's Moon Orders" and a set of "Qi Min Yaoshu", which mainly talks about the knowledge of agriculture, which is closely related to the fact that ancient China has always been a large agricultural country.
Soon, he found an expression of the founding of the Great Qi State in the section of the Book of Tang, Volume 19, Benji, and Xizong: "Xinhai Shuo in November of the first year of Guangming. Jisi, Taizu fell into the eastern capital, and Liu Yunzhang stayed behind to lead the officials to greet him. Renshen, trapped in Yuzhou. Bingzi, attack Tongguan, and guard the pass, the generals will look at the wind and collapse. December Gengchenshuo. Xin Si, occupy Tongguan. At that time, Tian Lingzi, a lieutenant of the Tang Left Army, was in power, and the prime minister Lu brought the twist to the incident, and conspiracy with him, so that he was defeated. Ling Zi is afraid of the crimes of the people, please demote the officials, and order the bachelors Wang Hui and Pei Che to be the prime ministers. Jiashen, Xuanzhi is based on the household servant, Hanlin bachelor Wang Hui, Pei Che official Tongping Zhangshi. Degraded the right servant shot, the servant under the door, and the Pingzhang Shi Lu were the prince's guests. Bringing the army of Taizu to the test, he died of medicine. On that day, the Emperor and the kings, concubines, and hundreds of riders, from the Zicheng from the Hanguang Temple Jinguang Gate out of the south of the fortunate mountain, the civil and military bureaucrats do not know, and there is no way to do it, the capital is Yanran. It was sunset, and Taizu entered the capital. Renchen, Taizu according to Da Nei, the founding name of Daqi, the year name Jin Tong ....... ”
Seeing this, Liu Fan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the Taizu mentioned here is the Huangchao of the Tang Wei Peasant Rebel Army, it turns out that this history of another time and space is ......actually like this.
It is recorded in the book that after Huang Chao entered Chang'an, "the whole people walked, not to steal money", the masses reached millions of troops, after entering the city, the military discipline was strict, and the people of the city were told to say: "The Yellow King raised troops, originally for the people, not as the Li family does not love Ru Cao, but you Cao but live in peace."
"Distribute wealth to the poor, the people attend to welcome, Renchen Day, that is, on the 29th of the month, Huang Chao entered the palace, the founding name Daqi, the year name Jintong."
Since the beginning of the first year of the Jin Dynasty, the Great Qi has internally rectified military discipline, lightly swayed taxes, and successively defeated the old generals of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Chongrong, Qin Zongquan, Zhao Li, Li Keyong, etc., put down the Zhuwen rebellion, and captured Xizong in Xichuan in the third year of the Jin Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty destroyed the country.
In another world, Huang Chao was a rogue in the eyes of the feudal rulers, killing people without calculation, and there were evil deeds such as tomb robbery and cannibalism. So, traditional historians consider him to be a demon based on these materials.
But is the evaluation of our historical books a relatively fair record and evaluation based on historical objectivity? A review of the 24 histories, which are advertised as accurate histories, and the personal records of some feudal literati, almost unanimously gave Huang Chao a rather bad evaluation, completely obliterating its advanced nature and correctness, demonizing the rebel army, and describing them as demons who eat human flesh and drink human blood.
Yes, in the course of the uprising, the rebel army did a lot of indiscriminate killings, but how could such an insurrectionary army deal a heavy blow to the Tang Dynasty rule at that time, and drive the Tang ruler out of Chang'an, causing him to flee to Sichuan in embarrassment?
If it is like the historical record, the answer is naturally no, but the rebel army did it, which shows that the historical record is at least not completely accurate, those who are recorded to be slaughtered by the rebel army, some of them must have been killed by the Tang army, and then imposed on the head of the rebel army, anyway, the rebel army has failed, in the era of feudal rule, no one will overturn the case for them, even if it is added to them, they cannot refute, "the history of feudal society will be written by the victors", " The history of feudal society is the history of the victors", I'm afraid it will be the truth, right?
