"Follow the customs, the guest changes from the master, if the gentleman does not drink, is it my Shi Chong's hospitality." Shi Chong glanced at the maid, who trembled with fright and looked at Liu Ling with pleading eyes.

Liu Ling was still unmoved, insisting on not drinking, Shi Chong waved his hand, and the guards dragged the maid out, and after a while, the head was placed in the hall. Until the third person's head was placed in front of the hall, there was a dead silence, and the person next to Liu Ling persuaded in a low voice: "Mr. has been a lifelong alcoholic, how have you ever heard that you are forbidden to drink, and three people have died, and if you don't drink again, another maid will lose her life." ā€

Liu Ling said loudly: "Wei Wei committed suicide maid, what does it matter to me?" When he had finished speaking, he stood up, and as if no one was around, he walked away.

It is the season when the fragrance of cinnamon is on campus, Qi Yang almost trotted all the way into the comprehensive building, just received the news that the master's thesis defense was passed, today's mood was immediately sunny, and even the fat roommate who loved to snore and didn't wash his feet became cute. His first thought was to thank Professor Kuang.

Qi Yang gently knocked on the door of Professor Kuang's office.

"Please come in." Professor Kuang's voice rang out.

Pushing open the door, Professor Kuang didn't have a stage, he was concentrating on what material, the sunlight outside the window was sprinkled on Teacher Kuang, the silver hair was particularly conspicuous in the sunlight, the whole body had a blurred golden outline, Qi Yang almost saw a particle of dust dancing and singing in the beam, that picture was particularly beautiful, almost unreal.

"Teacher, I'm here to thank you, I passed the defense of my graduation thesis." Qi Yang always remembered that Professor Kuang told Qi Yang when he first saw him that he should not call himself a professor in the future, but should call himself a teacher, but did not explain why. Professor Kuang is a leading figure in the field of history, full of peach and plum, but he is particularly sincere and easy-going to students, and he does not refuse to come to many young students who come to visit, and this is how Qi Yang met Professor Kuang.

Although Professor Kuang is not Qi Yang's graduate supervisor, he is a key member of the thesis defense expert group and also participated in the thesis defense today.

"There is nothing wrong with the paper itself, it is normal to get passed, and it is inseparable from your own efforts, so you don't need to thank Mr. Xie. The teacher would like to ask you, why did you choose ancient warfare as a research topic? ā€

Qi Yang smiled a little shyly, not knowing how to speak. Teacher Kuang motioned for him to sit down, got up and poured a glass of water for Qi Yang, and put it in front of Qi Yang. Then he looked at Qi Yang with encouraging eyes.

Qi Yang took a sip of water: "Actually, in fact, teacher, I have had heroic dreams since I was a child, I loved to read martial arts novels when I was a child, and I became fascinated by the heroes in historical stories when I was in high school." So, I chose this topic. ā€

Professor Kuang nodded: "But the 10,000-word flat policy will be exchanged for the owner's tree planting book." Swords and books, the dreams of many generations of students. Very romantic indeed, very beautiful. ā€

Qi Yang was a little strange, and Professor Kuang's expression was a little solemn today: "Qi Yang, you have passed the graduation defense, the next step will be an important crossroads in your life, either go to society or devote yourself to academics, have you thought about it?" ā€

Qi Yang nodded: "Teacher, I've thought about it, I want to do academic research, and I want to apply for your doctoral exam." ā€

Professor Kuang was not surprised at all: "The teacher does not approve of you applying for my doctoral program. ā€

After listening to Professor Kuang's words, Qi Yang was very surprised, and asked very frustratedly: "Teacher, is my ability not good?" ā€

"Let's not talk about what major you applied for, let's talk about your graduation thesis first." Professor Kuang flipped Qi Yang's graduation thesis to the table of contents on the title page: "Starting from the Qin Dynasty and the Six Kingdoms to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the Qing Dynasty, you intercepted all the large-scale wars as the research background, and analyzed the war from multiple perspectives such as the distribution of snobbery, the personal characteristics of the generals, the collection of military intelligence, the layout of the battlefield situation, and the factors of inevitable and accidental wars, hoping to define the reasons for the victory and defeat of the war from the perspective of history." This research angle is relatively new, and it is also very difficult. ā€

Qi Yang admired it very much: "A teacher is a teacher, it took me a year to write a thick paper, and the teacher summarized it in one sentence." ā€

"In the process of writing this paper, you must have come into contact with and studied a large number of historical materials and classics, have you seen or paid attention to the impact of the war on people's livelihood?" Professor Kuang's tone was gentle and gentle.

Qi Yang said honestly: "The impact of the war on people's livelihood is vague or brushed aside, and it is difficult to conduct in-depth research, so I did not study this perspective in my paper." ā€

"Have you thought about the reason?" Professor Kuang asked.

Qi Yang shook his head suspiciously. (Kirin Cocoa exclusively authorized starting point to release the "Taiping King of the Troubled Times", welcome to the starting point, the fastest and most complete update)

"Most of the compilation of historical books is official cultivation, and the person who writes history is the historian appointed by the imperial court, holding the king's salary, it is natural to stand in the perspective of the feudal emperor and the general to set up a monument for these big people, and the historian who can objectively evaluate their merits and losses is considered a historian with a conscience. However, it is difficult to record historical facts from the perspective of people's livelihood, on the contrary, there are a large number of records of the suffering of the common people in folk history and poetry and songs. Qi Yang's doubts were not at all strange to Professor Kuang, and he went on to explain: "A true scholar can transcend class positions, and the most valuable thing for a scholar is not professional education or research ability, but a heart full of conscience. ā€

"A heart full of conscience?" Qi Yang muttered to himself, as if he understood but did not understand.

"People have more and more complex standards for judging right and wrong, and if the same thing is changed from a different angle and position, black will become white, right will become wrong, and good will become bad. In fact, how can it be so complicated, the teacher has a nanny at home, it is a middle-aged sister-in-law who went to the city to work in the countryside, she has not read any books, and she can't recognize a few words, once when chatting, the teacher asked him, do you know Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the leaders of the peasant rebel army? She said she knew. The teacher asked him again, do you think they are good or bad? She said it was the bad guy. Teachers are very strange, how can you be so sure that they are bad people? The nanny told me that she came from SC, but her ancestral home was in HN There is an ancestral hall in her hometown, and every year when worshipping ancestors, the old patriarch will tell the history to the clansmen, saying that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong launched a peasant uprising, and the whole SC died many people in this war, so there was a large migration of the population of Huguang Fill SC, and their ancestors entered the Sichuan at that time. ā€

Qi Yang looked at the teacher in a daze, not understanding why he would talk to him about this.
