"The Court of the Great Wei", Author: The Chief Disciple of the Cheap Sect, Level 5 Author.
Category: History - Alternate History.
【Introduction】
Born as the prince of Great Wei,
May I be the king of leisure in the prosperous world.
Aiming at the sound of the red leaning green dog horse,
Keep in mind the safety of the people of the country and the society.
If the brother is virtuous, if the brother is clear,
You are the king of people, and I am idle.
If you can't make the country strong,
I'm going to be the emperor!
———— Hongrun "You Can't Do It, I'll Go"
[Brief comment]
I rarely read historical texts, except for reading "Son-in-law" seriously.
Because when you read historical texts, you inevitably have to make comparisons, check information, and refute two sentences. It will be tiring.
It's not like looking at fantasy, cities, etc., especially cultivating immortals and abilities, just go directly without brains.
Without a sense of history and cultural accumulation, you will feel that it is in vain when you read historical texts.
Although the author of this book does not have the title of great god, it gives me the feeling that he is better than some great gods.
There are mainly the following feelings.
First of all, the sophistry of the opening.
The protagonist is 14 years old and doesn't want the throne, he just wants to get out of the cabinet. The emperor had a whim and wanted to take the school exam, but the protagonist was late and left early. The test paper handed in, a limerick poem, an idiom. The simple and crude operation, instead of angering the emperor, attracted attention.
The emperor ordered the ministers to debate with the protagonist himself, and the protagonist did not cite scriptures to solve the problem, but instead came up with ingenuity, through sophistry and reverse thinking, the three ministers were defeated. Even the emperor himself did not take advantage of half of the advantage. The identity of the protagonist traverser is also about to be revealed.
The emperor intends to cultivate, but the protagonist is bent on confrontation, which leads to many interesting scenes of father-son battles. A lot of episodes come from allusions and from the author's brain. Under the tasting, it is quite tasteful.
Secondly, the author is deeply involved in the field of history.
When we talk about deep cultivation, we mean that although this book is an alternate history, it integrates the institutional mechanisms of many dynasties, the experience of governing the country, and the powerful military talents and economic wisdom. All these fully show that the author's historical skills are very strong, and the material is at his fingertips.
In particular, some of the more obscure explanations in ancient times, such as the palace maid was not allowed to serve the palace maid before leaving the cabinet, the meal had to be paid and tipped, and the daily study was very hard, and so on. It's not like today's court dramas, what a mess.
As for the later king, leading troops, governing the country, etc., it shows the author's great wisdom and strategy. Even the ten Zongwei at the age of 14 have been accompanying the protagonist Rong Ma all his life, and have become the existence of ten permanent servants in the future.
And at the end, the protagonist looks back on his glorious and brilliant life, silently remembering the enemies he has defeated and the lover who accompanied him, and suddenly people feel empathy and can't help but burst into tears.
Through the life of the protagonist, it can actually affect me, as an ordinary reader, remembering that life is actually really short, some memories will always be in the mind, and some authors can really portray the characters deeply into the reader's heart.
Finally, respect history.
Jokes are not nonsense, and adaptations are not random fabrications.
Most of the alternate histories, especially those that are funny, are dressed in the skin of history and do misdeeds.
Those fierce people, except for not making the atomic bomb into history, can get in, almost enough. What to make soap, dish soap, salt making, improve munitions, shipbuilding, etc., whimsy, cranky. Most of them are kitsch and lewd skills, and they are lackluster in governing the country, which makes people hate them.
On the whole, this book is more respectful of history, except for sophistry, cleverness, and scoundrels. Many of the settings and layouts also have serious provenances.
Coupled with the serious writing, the occasional narration, the good brain holes, the reader's interpretation, etc., it is quite interesting to read, and it is not boring at all!
Although there are many words, it only makes the content fuller, not much water, and a lot of dry goods!
【Summary】
Writing is not easy, but do it and cherish it!
I'm Kura Yiwei, and I bring salt to "Crash Demon King"!
