Chapter 1 Frustrated History Professor
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Zhu An was sitting in the office writing his thesis on the computer, the name of the paper is "The Beginning and End of the Fall of the Ming Dynasty", as a well-known history professor at Huaihai University, Zhu An has the deepest research on the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and what makes him feel most worried is that almost all experts and professors in the history field have said. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Emperor Chongzhen is not the king of the dead country, it is indeed the luck of the dead country, the Ming Dynasty is corrupt to the extreme, and his generation is already terminally ill.
The paper was to be sent to a well-known magazine in the province tomorrow, and Zhu An had been sitting at the computer for more than six hours, and he always felt that something was wrong with the paper, which he revised more than once.
The weakest point of the paper is the description of Emperor Chongzhen, about Emperor Chongzhen, historiography has given a conclusive conclusion, but Zhu An is not the same kind of conclusive.
Emperor Chongzhen's merits debate, many well-known professors also sat down together more than once to discuss, the biggest merit is to eradicate the eunuch party, leveling the rule of officials, and the biggest mistake is to kill Yuan Chonghuan by mistake and cut off the Great Wall.
Among the many experts and professors, Zhu An, who seems to be a little young, has different ideas.
First of all, the annihilation of the eunuch party, although it makes the official rule look a little cheerful, but the civil officials of the eight shares of the scholars are stained with the hall, and one party after another has been derived, and the Donglin Party that cares about everything has also been reborn, and the parties are similar and different between the various parties, and the country can be governed, not only does it need a virtuous person like Zhang Juzheng, but also some conspiratorial and cunning people to give the emperor some good policies for governing the country that those civil officials dare not come up with, and the eunuch party headed by Wei Zhongxian really has the strength to threaten Emperor Chongzhen?
The answer is yes, no.
It can be seen from Emperor Chongzhen's handling of Wei Zhongxian that Emperor Chongzhen, who was newly crowned with great treasure, eliminated the eunuchs led by Wei Zhongxian without much effort, and the power of eunuchs comes from the emperor.
As for Yuan Chonghuan, the Manchu Qing Dynasty used a divisive strategy to let Emperor Chongzhen kill Yuan Chonghuan, but was Yuan Chonghuan really not guilty at that time?
Those who are familiar with that period of history know that Yuan Chonghuan has several major crimes.
The first crime was to kill the general soldier Mao Wenlong, causing Mao Wenlong's subordinates to defect to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The second sin, the loss of friendship in front of the king, when Emperor Chongzhen summoned Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan once said something like five years of recovering Liao.
The third sin, poor defense of the land, the Manchu iron cavalry reached the city of Beijing.
There are also many sins with different opinions, such as collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, making peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, etc., replacing any king, and treating such courtiers will never show mercy, not to mention Emperor Chongzhen, who has the atmosphere of an ancient virtuous monarch.
Whether Yuan Chonghuan was wronged or not, I don't know, but it is an exaggeration to use his death as the fuse for the fall of the Ming Empire, it was not the Manchu Qing who broke through the Ming Dynasty, but Li Zicheng, strictly speaking, the Ming Dynasty was self-destruction internally, and it cannot be said that it was destroyed by external enemies.
These are all Zhu An's understandings, but if they are written in the paper, it will be another turmoil, which breaks the fixed cognition of the historical community.
Zhu An sighed, closed the computer, he still didn't have the courage to write out his thoughts, although he was rated as a professor, but he was not very old, and some older experts also had some insight into him, if the paper was published, the school would also have some pressure.
The thesis was completed, but it was very different from his own inner thoughts, continuing some of the past cognitions, and putting all the blame on Emperor Chongzhen.
After Zhu An left the office, the long corridor was empty, because this was the professor's office building of Huaihai University, and at this time, the teachers had also gone home.
For some reason, Juan suddenly felt a little flustered, always feeling that something was going to happen, just like animal instinct.
As for why he was flustered, Zhu An himself didn't know, took a deep breath, covered his chest, and said with a smile: "It seems that I really have to go to the hospital tomorrow to check and see if there is anything wrong with me." After saying this, he suddenly laughed a few more self-deprecatingly, which did not match his usual serious style.
After Zhu An got out of the office building, there were very few people in the academy.
"Teacher Zhu." A crisp voice came.
Juan heard someone calling him from behind him and turned around.
I saw a young and lively girl standing behind him, this girl's name is Liu Beibei, a graduate of this university, accepted the invitation of the school, stayed in the school to teach, and Zhu An used to be his teacher, so Liu Beibei has always called Zhu An Teacher Zhu, and Zhu An has never refused the title of Liu Beibei, a little girl.
"Teacher Liu, why are you still in school at this time?"
Liu Beibei jumped to Zhu An's side and said with a smile: "Teacher Zhu, didn't you go home too?" ”
"I'm busy with tomorrow's magazine papers, but you, it's been almost half a year since you became a teacher, are you still happy?" Zhu An asked with concern.
"Teacher Zhu, don't talk about work, I've been your student anyway, and my colleague has been for more than half a year, don't you know that I live in school?" Liu Beibei's tone of voice had a coquettish meaning, which Zhu An could certainly feel.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't know you lived on campus." Zhu An said truthfully.
When Liu Beibei was a student of Zhu An, she had already expressed her heart to Zhu An more than once, but Zhu An felt that it was the little girl who was joking with an old man like herself, but when Liu Beibei chose to stay in school, Zhu An knew that Liu Beibei was not joking, she was really interested in herself, which can also be explained as being attracted by her mature atmosphere.
Zhu An is forty-two years old, Liu Beibei is twenty-five years old, the age difference is seventeen years, coupled with a failed marriage in the past, Zhu An no longer trusts feelings, not to mention that it is still a little girl like Liu Beibei, Zhu An never thought that the two of them would have the opportunity to be together, and he has vetoed this relationship from the bottom of his heart.
Although Zhu An hinted more than once that Liu Beibei and they could not have a chance to be together, Liu Beibei never seemed to find out.
"Teacher Zhu, you are too much, you don't care about your students at all, I want to punish you." Liu Beibei put her hands on her waist and looked at Zhu An and said solemnly.
"Punish me?"
"Yes, punish you."
Zhu An chuckled and said, "What are you going to punish me?" ”
"I'm hungry, you're going to invite me to dinner."
"Now?"
"Yes, now." Liu Beibei said unrelentingly.
Zhu An raised his watch, looked at the time, looked at Liu Beibei and said, "Teacher Liu, do you think the canteen will open at this time period?" ”
"Let's go out to eat, Huaihai is so prosperous, are you still afraid that you won't find a place to eat?"
"So how did you get back? What's more, I have one more class tomorrow at noon. Zhu Anxin really didn't want to be alone with Liu Beibei, he didn't know what crazy actions this girl in the new era would make that he couldn't accept.
"Teacher Zhu, don't treat me as your student anymore, okay, I'm already an adult, if you really don't want to have anything to do with me, you can tell me." Liu Beibei's voice trembled a little, a sign that she wanted to cry.
Zhu An looked at Liu Beibei like this, and didn't know what to say, Liu Beibei had feelings for him, of course Zhu An knew it, but he was seventeen years older than Liu Beibei, even if he didn't have a previous past, he had already excluded Liu Beibei at this age.
Any man who sees a girl crying in front of him will be unbearable, not to mention that Liu Beibei is a very small and beautiful girl.
"You, what do you want to eat?"
"Ramen." Hearing Zhu An's request to be agreed, Liu Beibei replied quickly, as if she was afraid that Zhu An would regret it.
Zhu An smiled faintly: "Are you just pursuing it like this?" I don't know why, seeing Liu Beibei always makes Zhu An feel like facing his ex-wife.
"Eating ramen with Mr. Zhu is already very satisfied." Liu Beibei said very seriously, looking at Zhu An with big eyes firmly.
Zhu An dodged Liu Beibei's eyes, looked at his watch and said, "Let's go quickly, otherwise we will wait, but we really can't find a place to eat, if you can't find it, don't blame me." ”
The two of them walked slowly towards the parking lot, and neither of them spoke in the middle of the way, and there was silence.
Zhu An drove out of the school slowly, and Liu Beibei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, looked quietly ahead.
"Teacher Zhu, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you, but I don't know how to speak." The silence was broken by Liu Beibei, who looked a little nervous.
"What's the matter?" Zhu An said calmly.
"Why did you divorce your ex-wife?" After Liu Beibei said this, the car fell silent again.
Zhu An stopped on the side of the road, sighed, and said softly: "My wife and I are both students of Huaihai University, we are both from this city, everything from falling in love to getting married is so logical, she is a doctor, I am a teacher, from an outsider's point of view, we are so compatible, but all things are only known after my own experience to know the truth and essence of this matter, our relationship has a crisis, and the few remaining feelings are slowly disappearing, in the end, she cheated and filed for divorce from me, I didn't say anything, I agreed to her, After the divorce, the children were also given to her, and then she took the children to the United States, and speaking of which, I haven't seen the children for five years. Zhu An didn't know why he said this, maybe he had suppressed these things for too long, and he should find someone to talk to.
"Teacher Zhu, have you ever thought about finding someone to love you again?" Liu Beibei said.
Zhu An turned his head to look at Liu Beibei and said, "Find someone to love me, do you think my heart can accept it?" Not to mention that there will be someone to love me? ”
"Teacher Zhu, if you agree, I want to love you."
Zhu An chuckled and said, "Liu Beibei, I'll tell you the reason why I divorced, don't you want to know why?" ”
Liu Beibei didn't speak, quietly waiting for Zhu An's next words.
"Because I want to tell you that after going through these things, I don't want to get married, let alone look for any more feelings of love, we are just ordinary colleagues now, and it is impossible to come together."
However, as long as you open your heart, you will find that the world is still beautiful, and not everyone is like your ex-wife. I think the biggest obstacle for the two of us is not the age gap you are worried about, but your heart, your heart that is resisting all women touching you. You are afraid, afraid that your dignity is being hurt, or that your life will become a laughing stock. ”
Zhu An touched the steering wheel and said softly: "Okay, let's not talk about this matter anymore, I know that there is a particularly good restaurant, don't you want to eat ramen, accompany you to eat." Get out of the car. ”
Liu Beibei got out of the car without saying a word, standing next to the car, after Zhu An got out of the car, Liu Beibei suddenly said: "Teacher Zhu, I really like you, no, I love you, I think I can be worthy of you, why don't you accept me." ”
After hearing these words, Zhu An's heart was a little depressed, and Liu Beibei's tone made Zhu An feel a little guilty.
