"The irreconcilable contradictions in Liangshan are not limited to this. Will Yizhang Qing like Wang Ying? The whole family was cut down by Li Kui, do you hate it? Qin Ming's whole family is dead, do you hate those people who were on Qingfeng Mountain at that time? Wu Yong likes the back road of the peerless people the most, forcing people to go to Liangshan, who did he learn from? It is the precedent of Song Jiang in Qingfeng Mountain. And Wu Yong is for the great cause of Liangshan, why did Song Jiang force Qin Ming to fall into the grass? ”

"Of course, it's also to strengthen Liangshan."

"But Song Jiang hasn't gone to Liangshan yet?"

Chen Yuan thought about it for a while, and it was true that after Song Jiang forced Qin Ming to rebel, he swaggered to Jiangzhou to assassinate him. I couldn't figure it out, so I asked: "Why did Song Jiang, who had not yet gone to Liangshan, force Qin Ming to rebel?" ”

"Therefore, the water in "Water Margin" is very deep."

"Why?"

"Does my sister want to hear the reasons of reality, or the reasons of the reasonable party?"

"What is a reasonable party?"

"The Rational Party is to try to find a reasonable explanation for all the plots in the script when reading the script, even if it is difficult to justify itself."

Chen Yuan was puzzled: "Where did the loophole come from?" ”

"If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? The author is also human, and it is normal for loopholes to appear. What's more, "Water Margin" integrates a lot of folk tales, and different authors are constantly editing and sorting, each folk tale has its own bridge, and each editor has his own ideas. In this case, it is very possible that the character's personality changes, and the plot is not closely connected. ”

"For example?"

"The most famous should be Guan Gong's thousands of miles to ride alone."

"Huh? Is there a loophole in this? You wouldn't say that Guan Gong's force was unreasonable, right? ”

"Of course not! Guan Gong's force setting is very reasonable, if it is said that whose force setting in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" seems to exceed the limits of human beings, it is obviously Zhao Yun who enters and exits seven times on Changsaka Slope! But when you practice internal skills, you will find that there is a theoretical possibility in this matter. ”

"What's wrong with that?"

"Route!" Hua Xue found a geographical map of the Central Plains in the system and drew it to Chen Yuan, "Sister, look, Xuchang is here, and Liu Bei is in Yuan Shao's Hebei, in the northeast of Xuchang." The first line of Wuguan is here from west to east, may I ask from Xuchang to Hebei, what reason does Guan Gong have to run so far west first and choose such a route? ”

It's clear on the map, and no one would normally walk like that.

Chen Yuan was confused: "The author only needs to choose a few checkpoints from Xuchang to Hebei, why does this happen?" ”

Because in the original story of this plot, Guan Gong did not set off from Xuchang, but from Chang'an, this route is very reasonable. Thousands of miles to ride alone and move the capital to Xuchang were originally two different stories, but "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" integrated them together, and a chronological order occurred, and the starting point was changed from Chang'an to Xuchang, and the route was unreasonable. As she spoke, Hua Xue marked the location of Chang'an on the map.

"Didn't the author notice?"

"One is that it may have been negligent, and the other is that it may not have really noticed. If it was Luo Guanzhong himself, who had been Zhang Shicheng's staff, he might have had the opportunity to come into contact with a relatively complete geographical map of mountains and rivers, and he might be able to notice it. If it's a later finisher, you won't notice it at all unless you really walk through it. Most literati were not as proficient in astronomy and geography as my brother and me. Hua Xue didn't forget to boast when she explained, and when she saw Chen Yuan's admiring expression, her heart blossomed, and then explained, "Speaking of which, the most obvious geographical error in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is that Guan Gong's Bishui Pass and Lu Bu's Tiger Prison Pass are the same place, but most people don't know it. ”

"Then you said that this part of "Water Margin" is also an omission?"

"It is very likely that in the original version of this story, Song Jiang was already a member of Liangshan, so he forced Qin Ming to rebel. But in Shi Nai'an's story structure, Song Jiang has not fallen to the grass here, but he is reluctant to use this plot, so this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to himself appears. ”

Chen Yuan nodded, agreeing with this explanation, and then said in disbelief: "That's it, can you still give a reasonable explanation?" ”

Hua Xue Zhenzhen said: "Of course, in addition to obvious geographical irrationality, there is always an explanation for the subjective behavior of this character." There are millions of people in the world, but what kind of people don't? ”

"Tell me about it."

"Although Song Jiang has not fallen into the grass, he is also a well-known big brother in the rivers and lakes, do you say that such a person has a temper?"

"Yes."

"Then Song Jiang was tied to Qingfeng Mountain and almost died, is there any resentment in his heart?"

"Yes."

"Then does he dare to be angry with the three brothers of Qingfeng Mountain?"

"Don't dare."

"At this time, Qin Ming, who had nostrils soaring to the sky and looked down on people, appeared in front of him, and dared to lose his face Song Jiang, who do you say Song Jiang should vent his dissatisfaction with, and then establish his authority?"

"Qin Ming."

"Isn't that it? Song Jiang's heart was full of resentment, and Qin Ming happened to bump into it. Although he got the three brothers of Qingfeng Mountain to spare his life, he actually lost face, and he also needed to stand up. You see that this is a desperate memory, the three brothers of Qingfeng Mountain have become Song Jiang's hardcore since then, and they dare not betray in the slightest: who dares to offend such a ruthless big brother? ”

Chen Yuan reviewed Hua Xue's words and exclaimed: "I was really rounded up by you." ”

Seeing that noon was approaching, Hua Xue put down the book in her hand and said, "Sister, noon is approaching, before dinner, my brother will teach you a few moves, after all, after dinner, it is not suitable for strenuous exercise." ”

Chen Yuan also stood up and said, "After sitting for so long, it's time to exercise." What are you going to teach me? ”

Hua Xue led Chen Yuan to the courtyard: "Sister, I told you before, what my husband taught me was the authentic "Haoran Righteousness" of the heart, which is internal cultivation. As the saying goes, 'practice a breath inside, and practice muscles and skin outside'. This internal cultivation of "Haoran Righteousness" is majestic and powerful, but it is not suitable for women's cultivation, not because of the idea of patriarchy, but because of the limitations of male and female body characteristics. Men are powerful and should be tough head-on, while women are flexible and delicate, and they should take the path of dexterity. ”

Chen Yuan pulled Hua Xue in front of him and compared her height, because Hua Xue was one year younger than Chen Yuan, and the girl developed earlier, Chen Yuan had a slight advantage in height between the two: "Are you embarrassed to claim to be taller and more powerful than me?" ”

Hua Xue's face turned red again, and she complained in her heart about why her predecessor blushed so easily, and replied: "What, I'm one year younger than you, sister, I'll be taller than you next year!" ”

"You'll still be a year younger than me next year!"

Hua Xue helplessly supported her forehead: "Okay, I'll continue to talk about kung fu!" Back then, because I was still young, my husband also taught me a set of dexterous martial arts, which is said to have been comprehended by Mr. Yang Ming from the Book of Changes, so it was called "Yi Wu". ”
