28 Confidants (Part I)
I went to the library.
The library has been empty, and it's probably the most deserted part of the bustling building. I think, no wonder it's the "Xiliang Oriental Family", the barbarians are so violent and don't cherish such a precious opportunity!
But I cherished it, so I went every day.
The library is the same as the competition field, it is also a large single room of several hundred square meters, which is full of books, including official books, private books, forbidden books, copied books, and many broken books.
I looked at them one by one.
The initial excitement began to fade, and all that was left was regret.
I have to tell the truth, this library is very average, only the quantity is not the quality.
Most of them are the Four Books and the Pentateuch, and there are countless versions of the Four Books and the Pentateuch, but the differences between the editions are meaningless.
"Four Books and Five Classics" is a series of hundreds of thousands of words, approved by the imperial court.
"Imperial Court Decree" means "Countless Imperial Court Decrees", and each Imperial Court has deleted and modified it. Perhaps you find it interesting to study the gaps between the various imperial versions – but what is the point?
A considerable part of the rest is the "King James History" of the present-day Ming Dynasty.
There are also many versions, from the first version of the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Dachang, to the latest version of the current emperor Zhu Zhaotian. The first edition was a thin book, while the latest version is already a book of hundreds of volumes, filled with recitals written to the emperor by all provinces and families throughout the world. I can guarantee that every piece of music is fake, and then these fake pieces continue to be blindly altered by the emperor's historians, and the value of these history books can be imagined!
The protagonists in each history book are the emperors, and he is the protagonist in everything, and there are "important instructions of the emperor" everywhere, as well as important speeches by the emperor inspecting every province and every ministry. Although the Emperor is the greatest, the most omniscient, and the most omnipotent, why are thousands of instructions all identical?
For example, there is a shelf that reads "Prime Minister Dugu is in the world", which is a sycophant article written by the people of the world to Prime Minister Dugu, but it is a pity that Prime Minister Dugu died more than ten years ago because of rebellion. At that time, all these anthologies were ordered to be destroyed, and I don't know if it was because no one dared to take care of the library of the Oriental Family, or if the people in the library were too lazy, there were so many here. I watched it with interest for a while, the writing was not bad, but my thoughts were not full, I didn't write the kind of love for the prime minister more than love for my father, and I didn't write a good article about trying to shoot the emperor's ass.
In addition, there are a bunch of strange books, such as: how to study alchemy with yin and yang thoughts, how to argue for the emperor's divine authority from the size of a fish, how to argue that butterflies and caterpillars are not a living thing, and so on.
These books are so annoying!
I'm going to look for a novel.
Fortunately, there are thousands of novels.
The situation remains unpleasant.
It was a disaster.
There are only "various versions" of various "King James novels", not even the "forbidden novels" of the Yonghe Township Book Gang.
For example, there is a shelf that says "Dream of Red Mansions", on which there are hundreds of copies of Dream of Red Mansions, on the printing fonts are: simplified characters, traditional characters, traditional characters, variant characters, pseudo-Chinese characters, on the publishing dynasties are: Daming, Datang, Damin, Dayi, the second Tang Dynasty, the sixth Song Dynasty, the eighty th Han Dynasty and so on; On the continuation of the last forty chapters, there are Gao E's "Dream of the Red Chamber", as well as other nonsense "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Dream of the Red Chamber", etc.; As for the ending of the story, it's so nonsense that I don't even want to mention it!
……
I must admit that I thought that occasionally I thought that I occasionally dreamed about things that have not happened or will never happen, such as imagining a fairy falling from the sky and being my wife or something, I thought it was stupid enough, but I couldn't think of these serious and boring books when I was killed!
Sure enough, there is a reason why everyone doesn't come here, who has nothing to do to come here to accept the insult of IQ!

I laughed as I watched, probably the ridicule was so obvious that it caught the attention of an old man next to me.
The old man was dressed in the yellow clothes of a lower-class servant, with a white face and no beard, and was tidying up the bookshelves locally. He squinted, pointed to a notebook word by word with his hand, read it in his mouth, and then went to the bookshelf to find the book. Found it, he nodded, squinted, pointed to a notebook word by word with his hand, read it in his mouth, and put a checkmark.
He looked at me and laughed, walked slowly by, and said to me, "What are you laughing at?" ”
His voice was high-pitched, and he was a eunuch when he heard it.
I was holding "How to Make a Perpetual Motion Machine" and said, "It's nothing, it's pretty good." ”
Him: "Then what are you shaking your head and pouting?" ”
Me: "I shook my head and pouted to say that I thought the library was good." ”
Him: "You are laughing at these books, you don't believe them, and these are books appointed by the emperor, you are a rebel!" ”
Me: "First, you're not me, how do you know what I think?" Second, if you think I'm laughing at you, it means that you think someone will laugh at you, and that you yourself think your collection of books is not good. ”
Him: "Why do I think that our library is not good, and what is written in the book can be wrong?" ”
Me: "If there can be mistakes in what is written in the book, why do you think that someone would think your library is bad?" ”
Him: "I ......"
Me: "What exactly do you think are books that are considered badly written?" Why do you want to think heresy? ”
Him: "I didn't!" ”
I continued, "There you have it! You are sorry for the court, sorry for the master, sorry for yourself! You are the most insidious and vicious thinker. Thank you to the ancestors and ancestors, thank you to the emperor's court, thank you to the gods and ghosts, finally let me see through you as a rebel! ”
I understand that the safest defense is offense. Buckle all the basins on each other's heads, and they'll be fine. For this kind of slut, you have to do it.

The man grabbed me.
A trembling old man's son grabbed my arm.
He shouted, "Someone! I'm holding a current rebel! ”
When I looked around, there were just the two of us in the empty library.
Me: "You're kidding, aren't you?" ”
The man grabbed my wrist with his dry hand. This guy didn't have a lot of strength, but his hands were dry like skeletons, and my wrists hurt a little.
Me: "It's not funny. ”
The man's face showed a "murderous aura" and said, "You rebel! ”
I wanted to go, but he grabbed me and didn't let go.
I was a little nervous. I thought he was joking with me, I was joking with him, the whole thing was a joke, but why do you seem to want to cut off my head?!
Could it be that you will really cut off your head?
I looked at him.
Do you want to punch him to death, and then fake the scene to make others think that he was accidentally smashed to death by the bookshelf?
……
Me: "Don't make a fuss. I have to go. ”
He grabbed me: "You traitor! ”
Me: "If you make trouble again, what happens, can you be responsible?" Will you regret it? ”
He grabbed me: "You rebel! ”
He shouted, "Someone! Someone! ”
Me: "Let it go!" I'm not responsible for hurting you. ”
He grabbed me: "You rebel! ”
Me: "Will you let it go?" ”
He grabbed me: "You rebel! ”
Me: "Believe it or not that I'm going to kill you?" ”
He grabbed me: "You rebel! ”

I was scaring him when another man came, a middle-aged man in his forties, with long hair and a white beard, dressed in the gray clothes of an upper-class servant, with a serious expression. Probably a high-ranking chief eunuch or something.
Old man: "This man is a demon cult!" It's a thought criminal! It's a traitor! ”
Me: "You don't!" ”
I said to the middle-aged man, "This old thing is sick!" I was reading a book, and he came running over and scolded me! ”
Old man: "He is!" He shook his head while reading "Speech"! ”
Me: "I didn't!" This old man is crazy! ”
Old man: "I swear, if not, I'll die here!" ”
Me: "I swear, if it were, I'd die here!" ”
Damn it! Lao Tzu is the least afraid to swear! Lao Tzu is a wholesale oath! Swear to be a fart! Who wouldn't say!
Old man: "I swear, he's lying!" ”
Me: "I swear, he's lying!" ”
Old man: "I swear in the name of the Ming courtier, he is lying!" ”
Me: "I am in the name of the Ming courtiers, I am in the name of truth, I am in the name of justice, I am in the name of the disciples, I am in the name of the Dongfang scholars, I swear in the name of everyone, he is lying!" ”
Damn it! Who wouldn't say! I'm afraid of you!
Old man: "If I lie, let God kill me!" ”
Me: "If I lie, let me go to hell and never be reborn!" Let me rot into rotten bones and be eaten by wild dogs and pulled out of! ”
Damn, I know better than you do!
……
The old man was about to say, but the middle-aged man coughed and said, "Okay! You're too careful. Let's go. ”
The old man glanced at the middle-aged man, puzzled for a while, and walked away.

After the old man left, the middle-aged man bowed his hand to me and said, "In Xia Dongfang Le, the dean of the Oriental Academy." ”
I hurriedly gave it up: "In Xia Dongfangju, I just took the exam this year, and I came to the library to take a look." ”
He said: "The library is just a formality, it can only collect the King James books, not many books, my own collection of books is better than it, you don't see that it has so many books." It is said that the best library is in the Royal Palace...... There is no way, they collect forbidden books, we can only collect King James books. I'm sorry to let you come to see our broken books. ”
I was thinking of complimenting him on how good his collection was, and I was a little impressed by his frankness.
He continued: "Don't listen to the old guy's nonsense, books are also written by people, and people make mistakes. Is it true that I can write a book today and print it out for myself? Besides, what's so great about those guys in the palace and culture department, the books they write are real? ”
I agree with this: "I used to be very believers in it. Later, when I realized that something was wrong, I changed it. ”
He: "These books are just for passing them out, saying that the Oriental Academy has a collection of 100,000 books, and there is really no other use." For example, if you have a book in your hand, which retarded person would believe that a perpetual motion machine can be made? What is the First Law of Imperial Power for? ”
I nodded.
Dongfang Le: "I often read forbidden books. If you don't know what's wrong, how do you know what's right? ”
There are such sensible people here!
It's like a confidant of mine!
For the first time in my life, I've seen people who think the same way as me - well, except for Uncle Wuji.
I gave him a thumbs up: "Well said! This sentence is reasonable! This sentence makes sense! ”
Dongfang Le: "It turns out that you are also a person with ideas, and we are also fated, why don't you go to my room and sit down?" ”
Me: "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”
