Not so pure self-justification

Broadly speaking, each industry has its own set of rhetoric to resist the doubts of laymen.

Scientists will say: Are you professionally trained?

Politicians will say: Do you know what the big picture is?

Athletes will say: How much sweat have you spilled?

The craftsman will say, "Have you done it with your own hands?" How many years have you been there?

The businessman will say: How much money have you earned? How much do you have?

The doctor will say: Give you a few Latin nouns, do you understand?

Aunts and uncles will say: The bridge I have walked is longer than the road you have walked.

……

Of course, the author also has a set of rhetoric, and in the face of all doubts, he can dismiss it in one sentence: do you know what reasonable imagination is?

The most powerful rhetoric used in all walks of life is: you do it, you go.

When refuting doubts with industry clichés, it is a bit perfunctory, but there is still a little serious attitude, and when you say "you can do it", it usually means a little scoundrel.

The scoundrels are invincible, and the invincibles are lonely, so the scoundrels don't have many friends.

I don't want to be a scoundrel, and I want to be more serious when it comes to doubts, so I'll say a few more words in addition to the "reasonably imaginable" answer.

First of all, I am not a historian, I don't study history, I don't even have an amateur level, and I have never had such ambitions.

So, if someone questions the issue of history, I have nothing to say, but I will not change it, because I can't change it.

History wants fiction to respect details, but fiction only wants to make history interesting.

My suggestion is that everyone should go their own way, and since many historians can write history using fictional techniques, it should be okay for the author of the novel to steal a few passages of history, right?

Moreover, the more unrecognizable the history in the novel, the more it proves the professionalism of history itself? If I can faithfully restore the original appearance of history in a novel, shouldn't all the history majors in the university be merged into the Faculty of Letters?

I believe in the wisdom of readers, no one will regard novels as real history, everyone reads them, and their hearts feel something, which is the greatest praise for the author, if this feeling is slightly similar to when reading historical works, it can only prove that human beings have common emotions, not that novels replace history.

Second, it is often said that it is "unreasonable", and my answer is that the possibilities of history are never fully reflected.

Of course, this is the opinion of the author of a novel, without any historical specialization.

Let's give you a few examples.

In the history of Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Qin for thousands of years, China was a typical aristocratic system, and suddenly, a commoner Liu Bang became emperor, which now seems normal, how incredible it should have been? Only ten years ago, even a saint could not have guessed that such an earth-shaking thing would happen.

Even when compared to the history of the world as a whole, where else has there been so many civilian emperors?

When Wang Mang usurped the throne, how cautious and walking on cold ice, people in the world once thought that the country could only belong to the Liu family, but from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, until the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, usurpation became commonplace, and the emperor changed like a lamplight.

Wu Zetian proclaimed emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Mongols, the Manchu Qing entered the customs, and the foreign powers invaded...... Each of them is an unprecedented strange thing, and the predecessors could not have expected it when they broke their brains, but the later generations saw the "inevitability".

But the novel does not pursue that kind of "inevitability", as my personal creative experience, chance is the foundation of the novel: the battle of Mayi City of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only failed because of the leakage of a small official; Huo Guang is known as a loyal minister, but his wife is extremely vulgar, and even poisoned the queen to death; From the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the end of the Three Kingdoms, countless generals died at the hands of assassins, and the words "make guest assassins" appear frequently, which makes people wonder what happened in that era and made assassins popular?

As for titles, Cixi liked "Lafayette", and a certain emperor of the Ming Dynasty liked to be called "master", like an ordinary rich man...... The emperor's desires are no different from ordinary people, those humility and majesty are all artificially created illusions, when they are broken, there will never be such a thing as heaven's curse, if it is broken, it will be broken, change the dynasty, and start anew.

Speaking of which, back to the word "reasonable imagination", be more modest, remove the word "reasonable", this is all my "imagination", in my imaginary world, the son is destined to have a bumpy road, but he will keep going, because the world has never promised anyone or any country a smooth road, rather than fantasizing about smooth sailing, I would rather see my protagonist strong.

Finally, I would like to thank all the readers, and I would like to take the opportunity to defend myself, and my ultimate goal is to thank you for your support.

After all, questioning is only a minority, and many skeptics also enjoy this book, please continue to question, self-identification is thinking, thinking is more possibilities, and more possibilities mean a wider world.

Thank you. (To be continued.) )
