Shanshan's studio is like a large museum, with all kinds of artifacts on display. Most of the artifacts have a sign next to them, on which some information related to the artifacts is recorded.

The remains of Allure and Zhang Jing were also displayed as cultural relics in a glass case. From their faces that passed away that year, there is still a vague look of familiarity.

Standing in front of them at this moment, my feelings are quite complicated. I didn't expect them to never remarry for my sake, and it made me feel as if I owed them a lot.

At this time, Shanshan on the side suddenly said: "The deceased is gone, please mourn and change." ”

I smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I've seen too much life and death." ”

Shanshan sighed lightly and said, "There is something I need to tell you, we found a jade ring from the coffin of your wife named Zhang Jing, which was engraved with the words "Gift from Husband Cao**"; Therefore, we have made a guess based on the existing historical materials, and she may be the lady Huan among Cao's many ladies. ”

"Mrs. Ring?" I was a little surprised when I heard this, and I immediately groaned. Maybe, after all, Zhang Jing is Zhang Jiao's daughter, and marrying her as a wife will be more conducive to the control of the Qingzhou Army. No wonder in the end, Qingzhou Junken has always only obeyed Cao **'s orders, and after Cao **'s death, he broke out of control, so that's it.

Seeing that I was silent, Shanshan thought that I had some thoughts on this matter, and couldn't help asking, "Are you okay?" ”

I shook my head and said, "It's fine; By the way, aren't you going to have a seminar, and when will it start? ”

Shanshan said: "Oh, our team leader, Professor Wen, is preparing materials, and we will have to wait a little longer; By the way, you come with me. ”

As she spoke, she brought me to my halberd and said, "I had a doubt before and forgot to ask you, how did this Fang Tian painting halberd of yours be cast, and why did it go through more than 1,800 years without the slightest trace of rust?" And the blades on both sides are particularly sharp, which can be described as "blowing hair and breaking hair, sharpening iron like clay". ”

I chuckled and said, "When I was learning to make guns in the army, I also learned about smelting by the way; Although I lacked sufficient smelting skills and experience, fortunately, I had advanced theoretical knowledge, and with the more skilled and experienced craftsmen of that era, it was not difficult to forge such a weapon. ”

She nodded with relief and said, "So that's the case, I can't see that the craftsmen of that era are quite level." ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, before I went there, craftsmen usually had to go through a hundred refining methods to forge good steel; The so-called 100 steels are forged through the method of 100 refining. ”

"Oh, I see." She nodded.

At this time, a gray-haired old man came over and said with a smile, "Shanshan, there is a meeting; How were you talking? ”

Shanshan smiled and said, "Oh, Professor Wen, we are already old acquaintances, and we naturally chatted happily; Are your materials ready? ”

Professor Wen nodded and said, "Well, it's ready; This is Mr. Shaoran, and our colleagues have some questions for you later, and I hope you can give us some advice. ”

I smiled and nodded, "Of course, I must know everything, and I must say everything." ”

Professor Wen laughed and said, "That's great; We're all here, so let's get there. ”

Afterwards, we walked into the conference room with Professor Wen. The moment I entered, everyone turned their eyes to me, and everyone had a strange look in their eyes, as if they had seen some precious artifact. Also, in a way, I can be considered a living artifact.

After we were seated, Professor Wen stood at the front desk and began to speak, "In recent years, we have made quite a breakthrough in our excavation work, which is very encouraging, and it also depends on the efforts of my colleagues. Today, we have invited the owner of this tomb, Mr. Shaoran, and now we welcome Mr. Shaoran to say a few words to you. ”

As soon as Professor Wen finished saying this, there was thunderous applause, and it can be seen that everyone's emotions are very excited. At this time, I got up and walked to the front desk, facing the eyes of everyone, I just smiled slightly, and said, "I am very happy to come to this seminar today, I think you must have suffered a lot in the past few years to excavate my tomb; Here, on behalf of all the Chinese people, I would like to express my condolences to you, who have contributed an indelible force to the history and culture of our country. ”

"Huh." When I said this, everyone laughed. It seems a little awkward that someone else has dug up my grave, but I am still here to express my condolences to them.

Professor Wen also smiled and said: "It can be seen that Mr. Shao Ran is also an open-minded person, no wonder he will be followed by so many people in the trend of history; Now I have a list of some questions raised by my colleagues, please ask Mr. Shao Ran to answer them for us. ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, excuse me." ”

Professor Wen said: "May I ask, what was the life and spiritual outlook of the people in the late Han Dynasty? ”

I have to say that this question is quite level. Normally, when scholars study history, they study the reasons why the successful people of that era were successful, and few people care about how the people lived at that time.

I replied: "The life of the masses of the people in that era was very deplorable, even very miserable; Due to the warlord scuffle, the beacon fire has been in a worrying situation for a large number of people, and the lucky ones can flee to other places to make a living, and the unlucky ones can easily lose their lives, similar to the situation of cannibalism; Originally, I had entered the central institutions of the time, and I was determined to carry out reforms, but the reform policies I pursued violated the interests of the aristocratic class at that time, so I was ostracized and expelled. ”

Professor Wen couldn't help but ask, "What was the attitude of the people towards life at that time, and did they lose confidence in life?" ”

I said, "At that time, the people were very simple-minded, and they only wanted to live, and they never gave up hope in life. However, they were hoping for a savior to save them, which was the main reason why the Yellow Turban Rebellion was so loud in the first place. ”

"I see." Professor Wen nodded, and then asked: "Some people say that Cao ** is the most complex monarch in history, what do you think of his personality?" ”

I replied, "Although I have been hostile to him, I have no personal prejudice against him as a person; I don't think his character is as complicated as people think, he just wants to prove that he is right through his actions, and the reason why he has developed such a character is, I think, mostly because he has been unpopular in the early days; In terms of talent and wisdom he was not first-rate at that time, which can be seen from some of the mistakes he made in principle, but he always knew how to seriously reflect and correct after making mistakes, which may be the main reason why he finally succeeded; And the talent he showed as seen by later generations, if it was not deliberately touted by the person who wrote history, it was that he suddenly had an extraordinary perception when he was approaching his old age; As to why he failed to unify the whole country during his lifetime, I think it is probably a legacy of the misdeeds he carried out earlier. ”

Everyone listened attentively to what I was saying, and it seemed to be very flavorful. In other words, if I hadn't experienced it once from that era, maybe not many people would agree with what I said, even if I really knew that era.

Professor Wen then asked: "From your account in the diary, it can be seen that Lu Bu is completely different from what is described in the history books; For such a positive character, why did he fail in the end? ”

I couldn't help but say, "Actually, I also want to know about this question, but unfortunately I haven't experienced what happened later, so I can't say for a while; However, from the perspective of the nature of things, whether a person can succeed in troubled times is not directly related to his own character; Under the difficult predicament at that time, people usually could not distinguish between good and evil, good and evil, as long as they felt that who could lead them to a good life, they would faithfully follow whom; Under normal circumstances, only intellectuals with a relatively firm will can clearly understand what is good and evil. ”

Professor Wen couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, that's a really good thing to say; Knowledge can make people progress, and knowledge can help people get rid of ignorance, which has been profoundly reflected in the past history, and we must take this as a warning. ”

As the saying goes, the past is examined from the present, so there is no confusion. What is the significance of studying history? The answer lies in the fact that through the lives that people have experienced in the past, they can realize the truth that can lead mankind to truly move towards civilization. So what is the truth? Truth is truth that does not have any selfishness or hypocrisy. (To be continued.) )
