Chapter Thirty-Nine: Bai Xiuxiu and Her Ordinary Friends

The golden autumn sun covered the entire verdant mountain, and a man-made staircase cut the enclosure in half, and many pedestrians were climbing the towering mountain like ants.

Cheng Mo frowned and looked at the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang from afar, recalling the place where the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was ruins in the inner world last night, he was probably standing in the current position, but the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in the inner world is a mausoleum that has not been burned down, and it is not at all comparable to the simple mountain bag in front of him, it is a large pyramid of Chinese civil engineering built on top of nine layers of rammed earth, majestic and magnificent.....

Seeing Cheng Mo's eyes focused, Bai Xiuxiu also turned her head to the mound of sealed soil that had become a green mountain, and recalled: " I remember the last time I came over, the narrator told us that after Xiang Yu entered the customs, he sent 300,000 troops to dig the mausoleum, and when he entered the mausoleum, he touched the mechanism, and the arrows were fired together, and the strange birds flew, and many soldiers died because of this, Xiang Yu was furious when he heard about it, so he personally led the soldiers to Lishan, and when he arrived at the mausoleum, Xiang Yu was stunned, because there are countless organs here, and if you are not careful, the soldiers dare not act rashly, and there is no way Xiang Yu had to order the burning of the imperial tomb, smashed the terracotta figurines, and took away the weapons of the terracotta figurines, so we can only see a pile of sealed soil now, and the broken terracotta figurines.....”

Cheng Mo nodded, "There is a certain basis for this statement, it has been recorded in the "Historical Records": King Huai made an appointment to enter Qin without violent plunder, Xiang Yu burned the Qin palace, dug up the tomb of the first emperor, and privately collected his property, which is the fourth crime. is not only a historical record, but also said in the "Notes on the Water Classic": Xiang Yu entered the pass and sent it, and transported goods with 330,000 people in 30 days, and he could not be poor. ”

Bai Xiuxiu glanced back at Cheng Mo, "Yes, you can remember this." ”

"I just turned over the information this morning. Cheng Mo explained indifferently.

Hearing Cheng Mo's humble words, Bai Xiuxiu couldn't help laughing, thinking that the young man next to him was too interesting, so Bai Xiuxiu reached out and touched Cheng Mo's messy hair, and joked: "Honest child, it's a pity that I don't have a gold axe in my hand, and I don't have a silver axe....."

Cheng Mo rolled his eyes, took a step, got out of Bai Xiuxiu's control, looked at Bai Xiuxiu's peerless face with a childish face, and said disdainfully: "You said you want to be a friend for a day?"

Bai Xiuxiu stretched out her hand and brushed the green silk that was blown by the wind and stuck to her lips, put the long-brimmed sunhat back on, and said in a brisk tone: "I have always been lenient with myself and strict with others, so be my friend to accommodate me!"

Cheng was speechless, and realized more deeply that there was no reason to talk about women, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

Bai Xiuxiu didn't care if Cheng Mo and her relationship was intimate, grabbed Cheng Mo's arm, and pulled him towards the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum, "Actually, the commentator also said a theory at the time, saying that Xiang Yu first sent elite soldiers to dig the Qin Mausoleum, digging from the southwest and northwest, but after digging for half a month, he didn't find the tomb. As a result, one day an old man with a childish face came to dissuade him, and he said to Xiang Yu: "Qin Shi Huang unified China, proclaimed himself emperor, built palaces and mausoleums on a large scale, burned books and pit Confucianism, was brutal and unkind, and later pursued immortality, but was deceived and died in the sand dunes..... So how Qin Shi Huang perished, you should learn a lesson, don't repeat the mistakes of the past! So Xiang Yu retreated....."

Cheng Mo couldn't help sighing, and said in a low voice: "When we study history in the classroom, we will always have an illusion, the five thousand years of Chinese civilization is brilliant, and countless great emperors have created the glory of this nation, but we don't know that the real history is not the same as what is said in the book, just like when we talk about Qin Shi Huang, we will think of tyrants, think of the tiger and wolf Qin, think of burning books and pit Confucianism, think of Meng Jiangnu crying the Great Wall, and think of the princes and generals Xiangning have a kind of ..... But he didn't know that Qin Shi Huang killed just a deceitful monk, and the teacher he selected for his eldest son Fusu was the Confucian master Chun Yuyue; and the Great Wall was the most advanced military defense facility and communication network in ancient China, as for the 'prince and general Xiangning have a kind of', Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were not the peasants mentioned in the history books, but just two 'officers' who took advantage of the peasants' unfamiliarity with the laws of the Qin Dynasty to coax the legally blind to revolt, especially Chen Sheng, "Historical Records: The Biography of Chen Shilie" , there are many contents that can prove that in fact, he is a hero of Chen Cheng, and Chen Sheng has been planning for a long time about the uprising....."

After a pause, Cheng Mo continued: "In fact, when we study the Qin Dynasty, one of the most important references is Sima Qian's "Historical Records", Sima Qian's own discipline is of course undoubted, but the "Historical Records" that have been handed down to this day are not the "Historical Records" written by Sima Qian, as early as the Han Dynasty, the "Historical Records" has been revised by more than a dozen scholars, which is well documented, in addition to deleting a large number of unfavorable narratives for the Han Dynasty, they also greatly slandered and belittled the surname Ying and the Qin Dynasty..... Not only that, in order to improve the legitimacy of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty also tampered with and deleted the ancient books of the pre-Qin Dynasty on a large scale.... Not to mention the Confucianism who hated Qin Shi Huang for upholding the way of Legalism......"

Bai Xiuxiu didn't expect Cheng Mo to talk about history endlessly, not at all like a cold and arrogant young man who was silent, and let go of the hand holding Cheng Mo's arm, "To be honest, tampering with history is nothing at all? The scenes of the women and children attacked by the chemical weapons, the same child put on makeup and died several times on different occasions, posing for pictures and news that made the Western Virgins orgasm, in fact, the director himself did not act seriously, just looking for an excuse to show his strength, and the poor virgins entered the play again and again, and they were as excited as filial sons and virtuous grandsons and loving fathers and mothers. That's why I don't like to study history, even the news is fake, the so-called history is even more nonsense, there can be no real history in it, instead of exploring the so-called real history or correct history, it is better to create history yourself..... Anyway, what 'using history as a mirror' is just a high-sounding clichΓ©, looking at the history of China is just a cycle of reincarnation, we know that mankind can never learn lessons from history..... I think the greatest contribution of history is to provide us with a steady stream of material, so that we have palace fighting dramas to watch....."

Cheng Mo heard Bai Xiuxiu not only say "climax", but also said "filial piety and virtuous grandson", and also said "nonsense" Such ironic words as extremely powerful words, turned his head to look at Bai Xiuxiu, and felt that Sister Bai was really a little subversive of her image, and her poisonous tongue was not as elegant and demure as her appearance at all.

Bai Xiuxiu naturally also noticed Cheng Mo's gaze, glanced at Cheng Mo, and said with some surprise: "What are you looking at me for?

Cheng Mo shook his head, "Although the words are so, and I also think that the country and the nation are just a false concept, and the lie will become the truth if it is repeated a hundred times, not to mention that this lie has lasted for thousands of years, so the reality is that history is no longer the appearance of the country and the nation, and history has been deeply integrated into our bloodline, just like the Qin Dynasty, although it was only a short 15 years, the ruling model determined by Qin Shi Huang has continued to this day....."

"So, what's the point of us studying history? Let you understand that history is just a tool to serve politics?" asked Cheng Mo with the corners of her mouth hooked.

Cheng Mo didn't answer immediately, just looked at the green and leisurely enclosure in front of him, the former glorious palace had long since turned into dust, messy weeds and cheap trees, crawling all over the enclosed soil, Cheng Mo said softly: "My father told me that every true historian has a sense of mission, that is, in order to let future generations not mistakenly think that history is really a little girl dressed up by others, you can write how you want, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong..... It's like I'm standing here here trying to justify Qin Shi Huang's name, telling you that Qin Shi Huang is not a tyrant, but an emperor through the ages..... Because historians are the last line of defense of human conscience, the great men who cannot be judged by morality and law can only be judged by history....."

Bai Xiuxiu's heart sank when she was hit by Cheng Mo's words, and suddenly an inexplicable feeling of desolation made her eyes moist a little, and she didn't know why her mood suddenly reached a limit, and she fell into a hazy sadness incredibly, just like many years ago, on a quiet autumn morning, the courtyard was shrouded in soft sunlight, she sat on a chair knitting a sweater, her face was cold and she didn't speak, and she didn't look up at the man who was about to leave.

"Xiuxiu, don't be angry. ”

"Am I wrong, okay? next time I promise I won't dare again....."

"If you don't speak, I'll leave.... Bring you a gift when you come back!"

When she saw the man turn around, she couldn't help but say: "I said that I want you not to agree, don't agree, you are not from the Hidden Dragon Group, and you have not received such strict training from them, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about me, your parents and Xiaomei....."

The man smiled, "I know, I know...... But somebody has to do something, right?"

She didn't send him out of the yard, she just put down the sweater she was knitting for him in her hand, and watched him drag the box out of the yard, the man stood at the door and stopped, turned around and waved to her, and the lake outside the yard was sparkling.

Bai Xiuxiu wanted to cry a little.

However, the tears have long been gone......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Cheng Mo and Bai Xiuxiu visited the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum, and climbed up to the sealed soil, and Cheng Mo was giving Bai Xiuxiu science throughout the whole process, why Qin Shi Huang Niu B made Cheng Meng think that he was a traverser, and why Qin Shi Huang designed the centralized power and the system of three princes and nine kings was the most advanced at that time.

And compared with Europe, it shows that the emergence of Qin Shi Huang changed the historical process of China, because before the Qin Dynasty, in fact, ancient Greece and ancient Rome were ahead of the Eastern civilization in an all-round way, but after the Qin Dynasty, China used the advanced political system and the huge volume of great unification to completely blow up the West, and was once so strong that China's GDP accounted for half of the world, which shows how awesome China was at that time, and this kind of awesome was not only Chinese people, but even Westerners also thought so.

But the Industrial Revolution broke out in Europe, giving rise to capitalism that was more advanced than feudal centralization, and Western civilization began to beat Eastern civilization.....

For two thousand years, China has been following the ruling model designed by Qin Shi Huang, and has been reincarnated in the feudal centralization, even in the Manchu Dynasty, there is no sign of change, which shows how difficult it is to replace a system, and how incredible it is that Qin Shi Huang promoted the centralized system with his own strength.

In addition, there has been almost no breakthrough in the Chinese system in the past two thousand years, and in fact, the guiding ideology of external Confucianism and internal law that began in the Han Dynasty is more of a regression than Qin Shi Huang's "rule of law".

If Qin Shi Huang had not died too early, capitalism might have been born in China first, and it would not be the West that is leading the world's civilization today.

When the two walked out of the imperial mausoleum, it was already noon, Bai Xiuxiu patted Cheng Mo on the shoulder, "I am very satisfied with the morning's itinerary and your explanation, in order to show my reward, classmate Cheng Mo, give you a chance to invite me to dinner, take advantage of it!"

"I'm poor, please can't afford it....." Cheng Mo felt that he had been with Sister Bai for most of the day, and he couldn't blindly succumb to Bai Xiuxiu's beauty and not refuse anything.

"I don't have high requirements, I don't need you to spend much, just invite me to eat a bowl of biangbiang noodles, how about it, it's easy to deal with!"

"Didn't you say that you kept me for a month? Didn't you say that I wanted to buy me everything? Didn't you say that you would give me Hermes shoes? Why are you asking me to invite you to eat noodles now?" Cheng Mo said expressionlessly.

"Why are you so vindictive?" Bai Xiuxiu glanced at Cheng Mo with disgust.

Cheng Mo turned a blind eye to Bai Xiuxiu's strange eyes and said lightly: "Well, that's how I hold a grudge." ”

"Actually, it's fun to talk to you, and it can be used as an encyclopedia. Bai Xiuxiu supported her chin with one hand, thought for a while and said, "Okay, how much does it cost to support you for a month.....?"

"For 100 million dollars a month, you can't work more than four hours a day!"

"No problem! 100 million is quite cost-effective, then I will support you for a month, and now you invite me to eat biangbiang noodles first." ”

"You transfer 100 million dollars to my account first, and if you don't transfer it, I won't invite you!"

"You invited me to eat biangbiang noodles, and I will transfer it to you immediately!"

Cheng Mo shook his head, "You're too insincere." ”

Bai Xiuxiu asked with a surprised face: "I'm not sincere? A big business worth hundreds of millions of dollars, I just want you to invite me to eat a bowl of biangbiang noodles, and you still push back, saying that I am not sincere....."

"You're obviously trying to trick me into eating a bowl of noodles. ”

"Deceive?" Bai Xiuxiu smiled slightly, "Since you don't like to be deceived, then I will directly threaten you, if you don't invite me today, then you have to prepare to take a taxi back to the hotel now, not only that, but you also have to spend your own money to reopen a room, and you don't have to go to the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum at night, let alone expect me to invest money in your fund..... So, do you please or not?"

"Please. Cheng Mo replied helplessly, and at the same time felt that he seemed to be being eaten to death by Bai Xiuxiu.

Bai Xiuxiu smiled sweetly at Cheng Mo and touched his head, "This is a good boy....."
