Chapter 167: Reading History
To defeat a person, you must first understand him.
Qin Shou wanted to defeat the Emperor of Heaven, so he had to understand the Emperor of Heaven first.
From the day he lived in the princess's mansion, Qin Shou began to read, to be precise, reading history books.
The Emperor of Heaven ruled the Yuqing Realm for 70,000 years, and the history of 70,000 years has accumulated to be a thick stack of books, and it is difficult to read them without three years and five years of hard work, and if you want to study these books thoroughly, you need more time and energy.
Qin Shou was reading a book, and Jiang Qingqing was reading Qin Shou.
It was also from the day Qin Shou lived in the princess's mansion that Jiang Qingqing began to observe Qin Shou, her blazing eyes would steadily fall on Qin Shou for a few hours every day.
Qin Shou closed the book, rubbed his somewhat sore eyes, and then did a set of eye exercises.
It is not okay to read for a long time, the eyes will be bad, and you need to rest and adjust.
Taking advantage of this gap, Qin Shou smiled and said, "If the princess has anything she wants to ask, just ask." ”
Jiang Qingqing had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and when he heard Qin Shou say it at this moment, he immediately couldn't wait to ask: "Sir, why do you want to read books, and why do you want to read these boring history books?"
Qin Shou: "First of all, I read books because there are things I want in books, and reading books is the best way to acquire knowledge. Secondly, why do I want to read history books? Because I want to know about His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven. ”
Jiang Qingqing said curiously: "Reading these history books can you understand my father?"
Qin Shou: "The princess doesn't believe it?"
Jiang Qingqing shook his head, "If you can understand my father and emperor by reading these history books, then the people who know my father and emperor best in the world are not those historians who record historical events? But the fact is that those historians were killed by my father and emperor one after another, and they were replaced by batch after batch, which is even more infuriating to my father than those imperial historians who have nothing to do, if they really know my father, how can they write about things that anger my father?"
Qin Shou said with a smile: "Historians remember history, which is more expensive than true." However, real history is often dark, and these dark histories are often stains on emperors. They all want to be a perfect emperor and live for generations, but those historians just record these stains, and you say that your father doesn't hate them, so who should you hate? If it weren't for the fact that those historians were killed and suppressed by your father and emperor too severely, I would not want to read these history books. It is precisely those historians who proved the authenticity of these historical books with their blood and future, and made these historical books have real value. ”
Jiang Qingqing thought about it seriously and found that it was really what Qin Shou said.
Those historians are just officials who record history, they do not participate in court politics, they have no political enemies, and under normal circumstances, even the Emperor rarely meets them, so how can they have the opportunity to anger the Emperor of Heaven?
It's just because they recorded things that shouldn't be recorded and damaged the reputation of the Emperor of Heaven, which angered the Emperor of Heaven and was suppressed and excluded.
Therefore, the more severely the historian is suppressed, the more authentic the history is written.
Jiang Qingqing still didn't understand, "Even if what you say is correct, but you say that as long as you read these history books, you can understand my father, what is the reason?"
Qin Shou didn't answer and asked, "Let me ask you, who is your father?"
Jiang Qingqing: "Heavenly Emperor?"
Qin Shou: "Who is the Emperor of Heaven?"
Jiang Qingqing didn't dare to be sure: "The master of the Yuqing Realm, one of the Nine Emperors?"
Qin Shou said with a smile: "You are right, the Emperor of Heaven is one of the Nine Emperors, the master of the Yuqing Realm, he has ruled the Yuqing Realm for 70,000 years, in other words, the Yuqing Realm, and even the entire Nine Realms for 70,000 years of history are written by him." His every move, word and deed is enough to change the pattern of the world and become history. ”
Jiang Qingqing suddenly realized, since the history of the past 70,000 years was caused by the Emperor of Heaven, why couldn't they understand the Emperor of Heaven by reading history and studying history?
Qin Shou continued: "When people understand a person, they often want to start from his behavior and living habits, and understand him through his life. I do not deny that such a method has a certain usefulness, and against ordinary people, this method of observation is indeed feasible, but for an old fox like the Emperor of Heaven, this method has little effect. Throughout the ages, people who can sit on the throne of God are people who are good at hiding their emotions and personalities, so that others can't understand his thoughts, otherwise how can others say that the emperor is moody?"
Jiang Qingqing nodded heavily, thinking deeply.
She has lived in the Heavenly Palace since she was a child, living by the side of the Emperor of Heaven, and she sees every word and deed of the Emperor of Heaven, but she can't figure out the temper of the Emperor.
Whenever she thought that the Emperor would be angry, the Emperor might laugh it off, and maybe even praise it.
Whenever she thought the Emperor would be happy, the Emperor would be angry, even thunderous.
Sometimes, the same thing, when handled, is two diametrically opposed results, which makes people scratch their heads.
Whenever Jiang Qingqing thought that she had figured out the temper of the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven changed her usual and did things that she did not expect, and there was no trace at all.
Qin Shou: "Emotions can be pretended, habits can be changed slowly, only the heart, or the nature of the Emperor, will not change." History and time do not deceive people, and history and time are precisely the best proof of a person's true heart, so as long as you thoroughly study the history of the Emperor of Heaven in the past 70,000 years, you can understand his temper and temperament. ”
A 'boom' in Jiang Qingqing's mind exploded, instantly setting off a thousand waves.
All the officials of the entire Heavenly Palace, all the people in the entire Yuqing Realm, and even everyone in the Nine Realms are racking their brains to find out the temper and character of the Emperor of Heaven, some of them have spent a lot of money to enter the Heavenly Palace, some have bribed the internal prisoners around the Emperor, and some have even sent beauties into the Emperor's harem, all kinds of means have been exhausted, but nothing has been found.
As everyone knows, the way to understand the Emperor of Heaven is actually in front of everyone, and it is just a simple historical book.
If they heard Qin Shou's words, they didn't know what they would think in their hearts, would they slap themselves in the face and scold themselves as 'stupid'?
Idiots indeed.
Even Jiang Qingqing wanted to scold herself a little bit, such a simple way, why didn't she come up with it after following the Emperor of Heaven for so many years?
She didn't know how much time and energy it would take to study the entire 70,000-year history before she could come up with a result.
If Qin Shou hadn't been a policeman before and had studied psychoanalysis, he would not have thought of this method. Take a look at the latest chapters of "Nine Realms vs. God Claw Book House" and read it for free for the first time.
