"There must be something strange in it?" Yu Wenwen recalled this sentence, and his first reaction was that there was a certain stalk in the later generations, but he quickly entered the state and began to ponder, Yang Ji is different from him, according to the perspective of this era, he is indeed a 'reader'.

In the Ming Dynasty, scholars had to take the imperial examination if they wanted to get ahead, and they were studying how to make Baguwen into fancy articles every day, according to the instructions, the scholars should only be interested in Baguwen, but Yang Ji seems to be an exception.

What do you want to do when you read history books all day long? Learn from the lessons and rebel?

Of course, it was not a rebellion, the country was in turmoil at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and many people were drunk and dreamed of death, but there were also many people who wanted to share their worries for the country, and Yang Ji was one of them, so Yuwenwen could understand the mood of this hard-working person who studied history books and tried to find a way to save the country in the pile of old papers.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

"The king, this is just the opinion of the lower officials, whether it is right or not, the king has to think about it carefully."

"Wrap around, you just wrap around, and then wrap around without talking!"

"Ahem, does the king remember Di Wuxiang?"

"Di Wuxiang?" Yuwenwen originally thought that Yang Ji was talking about Di Renjie in the Tang Dynasty, but when he thought about it, the word 'Wuxiang' seemed to be a nickname, since there was 'Wu', then it should be a martial minister, a martial minister surnamed Di, and he could also have a nickname, that is...

"Do you mean that Di Wuxiang was slandered and died of fear?"

"Exactly."

Yang Ji nodded yes and began to talk about the events of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Di Qing, the word Hanchen, with a thorn on his face, is called "General Mian Ni", is a famous general in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, because the imperial court defense generals are like thieves, Di Qing was highly suspicious, and later got involved in the whirlpool of political struggle, offended people who could not be provoked.

All kinds of false accusations came one after another, what Di Qing's guard dog had horns on his head, what Di Qing's house suddenly glowed, etc., under the crowd, Di Qing was degraded, and died of fear not long after.

Of course, Yu Wenwen knew what happened to Di Qing, so he probably heard the meaning of Yang Ji's words: "You mean, Liu Xuan's forgery of books may be framed?" ”

"King, do you know what kind of book Liu Xuan dedicated "Lianshan Yi"?"

"I don't know, but since there is the word 'Yi', I think it is related to Zhou Yi?"

"However, there is something about this book..."

Yang Ji has his own 'shallow opinions' about Liu Xuan's forgery of books, and it is rare to meet an extremely suitable person to talk to, so he naturally wants to talk about it.

According to the history books, Liu Xuanxian's "Lianshan Yi" and "Lu Shiji" have more than 100 volumes, if it is estimated according to the number of words in each volume, there are more than 900,000 words, what is this concept?

"The Analects", but more than 10,000 words, Liu Xuanxian's book, in terms of the number of words, is worth 90 Analects, a book of this scale, not to mention the temporary intention to make up in order to cheat the reward, that is, to copie other books together, it will take a long time.

Not to mention that while piecing things together, you also have to 'polish' and 'integrate' the content of different styles, otherwise others will know that there is a problem at a glance.

The first is "Lianshan Yi", the so-called "Yi", that is, the book of divination, this kind of book can not rely on temporary nonsense, the art of divination must be systematic, the text is ancient, from beginning to end to be able to justify itself, it is difficult to fabricate it out of thin air in a short time.

The so-called "Lianshan", in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a book "Lianshan", and the content of "Lianshan" was quoted in the "Notes on the Water Classic" written by Li Daoyuan in the Northern Dynasties, and the age of Li Daoyuan was about "so far" fifty or sixty years.

And Xiao Yi, Emperor Yuan of Liang, who died more than 30 years ago, has dozens of volumes of "Lianshan" in his hands, which shows that at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the early Sui period, there should be "Lianshan" or "Lianshan Yi" popular in the world.

And Liu Xuan claimed that he was not very good at "Zhou Yi", so why did he dare to forge the Book of Easy Learning? Liu Xuan is a famous scholar, even if he wants to cheat, he should cheat in the field he is good at, so that he is more "good", why did he choose Yi Xue, which he is not good at?

Second, Liu Xuan's "History of Lu", the title of the book should be the history of the Lu State, and the famous works such as "Spring and Autumn" and "Zuo Biography", which are familiar to readers, are compiled according to the history of the Lu State, how dare Liu Xuan blatantly falsify it out of thin air?

The officials in charge of the 'acceptance' of books in the imperial court were considered to be well-educated people, and whether the books presented by Liu Xuan were forgeries or not only need to be compared with "Spring and Autumn" and "Zuo Chuan" to know, so why should they be denounced afterwards before they 'suddenly realized'?

Third, when Liu Xuan was young, he studied at Liu Zhihai's house, which had a large collection of ancient books, and it is very likely that he had seen ancient books that had not been handed down to the world, which were somewhat different from the historical materials handed down in the world.

Therefore, Liu Xuan's "Lianshan Yi" and "Lu Shiji" are probably not forgeries, but based on the classics and historical materials he has seen, and have been supplemented on the basis of the well-known versions.

"The king opened a study club and published countless books, so if you know ancient books, especially pre-Qin ancient books, if they can be handed down to this day, there will definitely be many versions, right?"

Yuwen Wen nodded when he heard this, there are indeed many versions of the ancient books of this era, especially the ancient books of the pre-Qin Dynasty, which are all bamboo books, which are easy to decay and scatter after a long time, and need to be copied manually.

Mistakes and omissions are inevitable, and different people copy them, and the mistakes are different, so after hundreds of years, it is difficult to say who has the book in its hand is "original and genuine".

Not to mention that Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, many pre-Qin ancient books disappeared from the people, but there were official books, but the overlord of Chu burned down the Qin Palace, and many books were buried in the fire, and only a few remnants remained in the hands of private collectors.

In this way, a question arises: if the original pre-Qin ancient books are gone, if there are books handed down from the people, and the contents of the books in the hands of each collector are different from each other, then whose book is "genuine"?

It can only rely on the research of famous scholars, and the research conclusions of each era will be different, and it may be that a certain volume of pre-Qin ancient books was verified as a true book in the Han Dynasty, and was verified as a "fake book" in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Thinking of this, Yu Wenwen vaguely concluded in his heart: "So what do you mean?" ”

"Wang, maybe Liu Xuan's "Lianshan Yi" or "Lu Shiji" is somewhat different from the content of the recognized version, but he is not a forgery, but has made additions based on the ancient historical materials he has read."

"There are discrepancies in the content of different versions of the book, you can sit down and quote the scriptures and carefully study the evidence to convince people, this was originally just an academic issue, but it was made a big fuss, and it was poured with sewage, saying that Liu Xuan made fake books to defraud the reward!"

Worried that Yu Wenwen's mind didn't turn a corner, Yang Ji continued to explain: "Er Liu can do scholarship but can't be a person, they are too bookish, they offend people when they are arguing academically, but they don't know it, and they are from a poor family, it is common for them to be jealous of the children of the family. ”

"The so-called public mouth is gold, Di Wuxiang slandered the officials and slandered them for a hundred mouths, even if the Song Emperor had the heart to protect him, he was helpless, and Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was not a famous scholar, he didn't know the twists and turns in the ancient books, and seeing the great Confucians attacking him, naturally the three of them thought that Liu Xuan was morally corrupt."

"King, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the edge will be exposed, and the people will not be, Er Liu is talented but will not behave in the world, so the career is bumpy, and the fate is troubled."

"The lower officials think that Liu Xuanxian's "Lianshan Yi" and "Lu Shiji" should have no intention of cheating and rewarding money, of course, this is the lower official's shallow opinion, right or wrong, please also ask the king to know it."

Yuwen Wen didn't take the bait, resisted the urge to sit down and ridicule, and said, "Mingjian? If you're not done yet, go ahead. ”

"Ahem, does the king still remember the story of Kong Yingda?"

Yuwen Wen sneered: "Liu Shiyuan's student Kong Yingda, a great Confucian in the early Tang Dynasty, rose to prominence at a young age in the Sui Dynasty, and even sent assassins to assassinate him several times, but it was only thanks to Yang Su's protection that nothing happened. ”

Speaking of this, he began to play with the self-defense dagger: "Hehe, what can't these people do?" I can't play with knowledge, so I used shady tricks to frame Liu Xuan for making fake books to cheat money, and slandering the other party for having moral problems, which is the most vicious method! ”

"King, Liu Guangbo has come to Huangzhou, this opportunity can't be missed!" Yang Ji became excited, and his views were agreed by Yu Wenwen, so his enthusiasm exploded instantly.

"Bite the text and chew the words, the widow is not good at it, how are you?"

"Dare to disobey!"

Yu Wenwen looked at Yang Ji with a happy face, and muttered in his heart: It's really fake, I don't read much, don't lie to me!
