The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Whether it is Bian Yujing or Fang Ziling, in the first two or three days when they saw "The Continuation of the Thief", they were actually just in a state of watching the excitement.

Especially Fang Ziling, because he persuaded Shen Shuren not to be arrogant and lost the bet before, he found that he was not crazy, but really had this strength.

Then for several days, my mind was full of buzzing, and when I read books, I just passively accepted them all, and even my ability to think independently was temporarily reduced.

However, since the door-to-door service was soft and the knot was untied, Fang Ziling quickly calmed down. After returning home, I read the masterpiece carefully, and I actually saw some deep meanings that I hadn't figured out before.

Shen Shuren didn't have time to pay attention to these female streamers and what opinions they would have. Therefore, after that day, he quickly devoted his energy to the rest and preparation of the troops.

He didn't think that the other party could help him strategically, at most he was a friend of Qingtan, and he helped him a lot.

Unexpectedly, three days later, Fang Ziling calmly came to the door again to ask for advice.

Last time, she was familiar with the doorway, and this time she didn't need her brother to lead the way, she directly wore a scholar's robe and took a carriage to the governor's yamen to ask for a meeting.

Shen Shuren has a lot of opportunities, and it is not so easy to see, so the maid in the house led Fang Ziling to the other courtyard and waited for refreshments. It wasn't until the lunch break that Shen Shu took time to find time.

"Miss Fang, what do you have to ask for advice?" Shen Shuren didn't see the outside, and he didn't say "see and teach" at all, but only said that the other party wanted to ask him.

When Fang Ziling heard these two words, she was a little unhappy for no reason, but her last performance was crushed, so she had to admit it for the time being, so she went down and said:

"I really have to 'ask' for advice. I went back and read "The Continuation of the Thief" for a few days, and I was quite puzzled in one or two places, and I felt that it was not like Brother Shen's original style. ”

Shen Shuren sat down opposite the coffee table and folded his fan with a "snap": "Come on." ”

Fang Ziling gritted his teeth: "Looking at "The Continuation of the Thief", Brother Shen's judgment on Li Zicheng at the moment is 'Water without source and wood without roots, although the army is prosperous, it is about to decline. Therefore, the longer the siege lasts, as long as Li Zicheng is not allowed to wander around several provinces and absorb the fat and ointment of the people of several provinces for his use, the more he will not have to worry', this summary is correct, right? ”

Shen Shuren nodded casually: "That's right, didn't you say it three days ago - you'll see this when you go back?" ”

However, Fang Ziling only unified the basic consensus first, and soon continued: "Also, it can be seen that Brother Shen's views on history have always emphasized that 'history will not simply repeat itself',

Because 'future generations will always learn from the lessons, especially to avoid the mistakes of the predecessors that they have seen recently, they would rather step on the mistakes of the 'last time' or even the 'last time' than simply step on the 'last 'mistakes', right? ”

Shen Shuren continued to nod proudly: "That's true, this is also my family's words, and I have never seen it before." Since ancient times, no long-term dynasty will die in the same way as the previous long-term dynasty.

It's like there are countless traps on a road, and the person who happened to fall into a trap and died, even if the person who followed behind knew that they would eventually fall into the trap and die, they would at least change the trap and not fall into the same trap. ”

This truth is not a difficult rule for modern people who like to analyze data.

But the ancients rarely thought about problems like this, and Confucian historians liked to talk about things at the level of "Dao", and did not like to take stock of and summarize data, which gave Shen Shuren another point to exploit loopholes to brush up on reputation and "academic achievements".

Of course, his purpose was not to care about this to destroy his "academic reputation", he wanted to demoralize the enemy, and some things were just piggyback and written.

After Fang Ziling confirmed these thoughts, he finally tried to find out the dagger and pointed out a key point: "Therefore, Brother Shen has always said that 'history will not simply repeat itself, and the pit will not be stepped on continuously', combined with the bright and dark hints in your book, Xiaomei summed up that you actually want to express a meaning:

You want to tell Elder Yang Ge and tell Your Majesty that after Li Zicheng had just annexed the old department, he thought that he could take the power of the division and take Kaifeng, which he didn't take last winter, or even some other goal.

But in fact, whether it is the Kaifeng defenders, the other surrounding defenders, or even Sun Chuanting, the newly appointed governor of the Shaanxi Tripartite, will learn the lessons of Fu Zonglong, Wang Qiaonian, and King Fu losing their masters. They may use their troops cautiously, or they will defend at any cost, so Li Zicheng is still unlikely to win in the short term?

In the next few months, Yang Ge Lao should sit back and watch Li Zicheng find a new target to attack without saving him, and when Li Zicheng's troops are fortified, the veterans of the division are tired, and the soldiers under his command also re-realize that 'after the three armies meet, the combat strength has not been enhanced', so that when the morale is low again, the imperial army will attack again? ”

Shen Shuren was stunned for a moment, and actually paid a little attention to it when facing Fang Ziling for the first time.

He had to admit that when he wrote "The Continuation of the Thief", there must have been a lot of such ideological tendencies and hints, but he didn't dare to say that he was too clear, but there were some places that contained words.

In addition, this work was polished by Gu Yanwu for him, and after Gu Yanwu's second creation in terms of specific words, some things that are not accurate seem to be more ambiguous.

Unexpectedly, it was still figured out by Fang Ziling and summarized.

And the reason why Shen Shuren subconsciously wrote like this, of course, was because he relied on his prophet of history, and unconsciously wrote like this - Shen Shuren knew that it was easy for Li Zicheng to take Luoyang, and it was easy to kill the second governor of Shaanxi, but he opened the seal and beat it three times, and he didn't take it down for a year and a half.

After the city of Kaifeng was broken in history, Chongzhen died in less than half a year, Kaifeng was really strong for a long time, and finally Li Zicheng was also the same as Yingzheng Chang Kaishen, and he was solved by flooding the city by breaking the embankment of the Yellow River, which was really brutal.

In the final analysis, the tragic death of King Xiang of Fu Wang stimulated King Zhou, making King Zhou a rare vassal king in the late Ming Dynasty who was willing to disperse his wealth to help the army and endure hardships with the defenders. For the sake of King Zhou's ruined family, the Henan Ming army persisted for a long time.

But Shen Shuren knows that history will be changed by the butterfly effect, so the more he doesn't dare to write in too much detail and too hard-spoken, otherwise it will not be good to be slapped in the face in the future.

On the other hand, last year, he could make a straightforward decision and ignore arrogance, predicting that Li Zicheng would kill Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying and annex his subordinates, which was a routine combining yang and conspiracy. Even if Li Zicheng didn't want to do this, Shen Shuren wrote it, and he could sow discord and promote it from the side. And both sides of the plan are thieves, no matter how successful the calculation is, for the Ming court, it is merit and innocence.

But this year's situation is different, if Shen Shuren continues to predict that "the king of Zhou is willing to scatter all his family wealth to defend it, Kaifeng will definitely not be able to attack", and it is very likely that he will be attacked by political enemies as "framing the king of Zhou, designing for Li Zicheng to target the king of Zhou and the governor of Henan, and the official army of Huguang will beggar-thy-neighbor to consume the combat power of the thief army".

The two objects that were provoked are no longer all bad guys, but one side is a friendly army, so Shen Shuren must be cautious when he speaks!

Fang Ziling obviously figured out this possibility, so he directly picked out the trick: "Since Brother Shen has always been known for strategizing, anticipating the enemy thousands of miles away, and after a few months, why didn't he write it clearly this time?" What about a straight cut of the iron mouth?

If this can be expected, it will be really unfavorable for the thieves to attack the fortifications in the future, and then there will be people fanning the flames, emphasizing that the defeat of the thieves in this battle has already been won by the wise men in the official army, won't it be a great blow to the morale of the thieves?

At that time, the generals inside the thieves were all panicked, thinking that the feudal officials on the side of the official army had no last resort, who would have the courage to fight to the death for the thieves? ”

Shen Shuren was stunned for a moment, he subconsciously wanted to say those reasons for "can't write like this", but after thinking about it, he still held back.

Those words are too filthy, and they involve the troubles between the feudal officials of the feudal towns within the imperial court, so it is not suitable to say them explicitly.

Fortunately, Shen Shuren's clever tongue was like yellow, and the heaps of wording and excuses couldn't be used at all, so he quickly adjusted his words:

"Miss Fang, I don't know if you have ever played a game, when a person has nothing, he goes to the table to play a game and directly bets on it, which is normal. Anyway, there is nothing to lose, at most if you lose, you will lose your life, maybe your life is not worth anything.

But when you win a big handful, it's not a good thing to bet all the time next time, because as long as you lose a handful, all the previous earnings will be gone.

Therefore, when I didn't write "The Theory of Thieves", my reputation was worthless, and I didn't establish the prestige of 'divine calculation', so of course I had to gamble a little bigger.

At that time, even if I was only 90% or even 80% sure, I had to be straightforward and the details were clear, and there was nothing to lose if I was wrong anyway. Now that I have carried the burden of divine calculation, I can't just waste my prestige, speak a little more safely, and say eighty percent if I am eighty percent sure, right? ”

Fang Ziling listened very carefully, and even a little nervous, after listening, she actually breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had let go of a burden, she smiled proudly while helping to make suggestions:

"So to speak! I advised you not to be arrogant last year, and it is not a complete gamble! As you admit it, you weren't 100% sure at the time! There's no shame in saying the wrong thing!

In this case, you have miscalculated a little this time, and you have not found the optimal solution strategy - your own reputation is valuable, but if you are a little straightforward, you may not need to say it yourself.

Ancient scholars preached scriptures for sages, and they all knew that they should divide the "Analects" and "Confucius's Family Sayings", and the canon must be an unbreakable law for a hundred ages. Supplementary apocrypha, piercing and chiseling works, but they can be written chiseledly, meticulously and meticulously, so as to deceive ignorance, and the upper and lower have their own place.

Now that your reputation is valuable, you are afraid of saying the wrong thing, and you don't dare to say too much in "The Continuation of the Thief", so you can also use the name of others to write some radical words based on the extension of "The Continuation of the Thief", and say it with a nose and an eye.

Even arranging some songs and excerpts of the King of Zhou and the governor of Henan to resist Li Zicheng's attack on Kaifeng, and spreading them to Henan, specifically bewitching and shaking the ignorant and ignorant thief generals, maybe it will be better than your original "The Continuation of the Thief".

How many of these rogue generals will go to watch "The Theory of Rogue Continues"? If it is in the excerpts, it is interpreted like Wang Shizhen's "The Legend of the Ming Phoenix", Yan Song once milled the martial arts between the Tatars, and put Li Zicheng on the Tatars, and then compared Yang Ge Lao to Zeng Milling,

In addition, there are ignorant and stupid people inside who force the loyal and righteous generals to fight with the thieves quickly, and after the thieves attack the unfavorable fortifications, they design rebellions, and take advantage of the traitors and incompetence in the court to frame the generals in front and force them to fight, just as Yang Guozhong persuaded Li Longji to force Ge Shuhan to fight at Tongguan...... There are so many allusions throughout the ages that can be insinuated, isn't it better than your dry "The Continuation of the Thief" on shaking the hearts of the thieves?

And in this way, the imperial court can continue to carry some strategies, such as letting out the rumors and saying, 'In fact, if the old Luo and Ma departments are really willing to work for Li Zicheng, in fact, Kaifeng City can also be quickly captured.' But Luo and Ma didn't want Li Zicheng's prestige to rise, and they didn't want it to seem that after Li Zicheng annexed them, the fortified city that was originally unbreakable could be broken now, so they deliberately didn't contribute to the ...... of this kind of thing, but whenever it is in drama and folk jokes, it can't be overstated.

Once it is correct, it can be said that these judgments are all based on the "Continuation of the Discussion on the Thief", and it is the people of insight who have been inspired by it and confirmed it in detail.

And once you say it wrongly, or it simply has no effect, you can also push it clean, saying that it is a folk fool who reads and interprets it incorrectly, and it will not affect "The Continuation of the Thief" and Brother Shen's personal name of divine calculation.

If you are right in the Analects of Confucius, then you will say that this is the original intention of the Analects, and if the Analects of Confucius is not right, you will directly say that the Apocrypha of Confucius is an apocryphal scripture attached to it, and it will not affect the authority of the Analects in the slightest. ”

Fang Ziling sprinkled with enthusiasm, and thoroughly explained some of her views on her reading over the years.

Shen Shuren couldn't help but be a little surprised when he listened.

It seems that Fang Yizhi's family is indeed a family history, which is not ordinary. It is not a fluke that the father can be the governor of Huguang, and the son can be admitted to the Jinshi and rank as the fourth son of Jiangzuo.

If Fang Ziling were a man and also participated in the imperial examination, maybe he would really be able to achieve something.

Based on her reading eye and her interpretation of how the ancients cherished their feathers and prevented the apocrypha from polluting the authority of the scriptures, this woman was extremely terrifying.

Fang Ziling's statement, isn't it a purely "same person, two creation" routine used in later generations!

The original book is too classic, the IP is too valuable, I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing, and I don't dare to say it on a large scale, so let's get a bunch of worthless fandom and two creators to say the large-scale words that the original didn't dare to say!

Anyway, if it's wrong, it's the second creation and the reputation of the same person! is right, but the credit can be attributed to the original!

Of course, in fact, it is not difficult for people who read a lot to find that this kind of thing was also useful to the ancients, and it was very common for the coexistence of canons and apocrypha when hundreds of schools of thought and various schools of philosophy and belief were born.

If it breaks out, the Apocrypha can also be whitewashed and recognized, and even become a school of its own. If it doesn't break out, then it will be directly called a pseudo-scripture.

It's just that this topic is too high-end, and 99% of the common people won't be mentioned about this kind of dragon slaying thing, so the analogy of "two creations of the same people" can be better understood by the general public.

Shen Shuren was silent for a long time, and asked casually: "Do you still write excerpts?" Writing a record book? ”

Fang Ziling smiled proudly: "What's this!" I've never eaten pork and never seen a pig run. Although my family has a strict family education and does not allow women to go out casually, there is an adoptive mother who sings songs at home. ”

Of course, Fang Ziling can't write opera scripts and singing scripts, but she can't show her timidity, she knows that these are all gaddy means, and she can learn quickly with her knowledge, as long as she takes a few record books and learns the format, the content is not easy to fill?

Although this idea is a bit underestimating literary and artistic creation, she is indeed so optimistic and arrogant.

Shen Shuren nodded: "This kind of thing, after you have a record book, you have to find a way to spend money to ask the folk team to be willing to sing more, deliberately spread it, print more record books and distribute them quietly, or pretend to sell them at a low price, and try to spread them to Henan, Sichuan and other places."

Among them, if you need to use silver and need to negotiate with the outside, I will be responsible, and after the matter is completed, you will also be regarded as a meritorious contribution to the Ming Dynasty.

At least it can more or less hit the morale and unity of the thieves, even if it is only a temporary disadvantage in the future to attack and open the seal, and can induce the thieves to be suspicious of one or two of the generals, it can be regarded as a credit. ”

Fang Ziling was affirmed, and she was also very excited, feeling that she had not read books in vain in the past ten years, and a female streamer could also do great things. What made her even happier was that she was hit by Shen Shuren and Bian Yujing a few days ago for her intellectual superiority, and now she has finally found some ground, and her confidence has recovered.

Even if you are powerless and cannot physically fight the thieves, you can at least fight and confuse the enemy on the propaganda front and the mental level.

……

After getting the authorization of Shen Shuren, Fang Ziling was very excited, and after returning to the house, he first pulled his brother Fang Yizhi over, and asked him to call all the adoptive mothers who sang in the house, and asked them to read the record book of the daily rehearsal.

It's a pity that Fang Yizhi is not very good at listening to dramas, not long after he went to Wuchang alone to be an official, the level of a few adoptive mothers in the house is really not good, and the few record books that are usually rehearsed are also clichés.

The Fang family's original singing and mother-raising team, of course, is of course of good quality, but it is impossible for Fang Ziling to travel thousands of miles back and forth in order to find a few record books.

She thought about it, the cow had already blown out, and decided to find Bian Yujing to help her in this matter.

Although Bian Yujing is not a top opera artist, her sister Li Xiangjun is the first in the world's southern opera, and Chen Yuanyuan is the first in the world's kunqu opera, and there are resources to find. Bian Yujing himself has been exposed to it for many years, and he must know a little bit about it.

Fang Ziling had the verbal authorization of Shen Shuren, so he used chicken feathers as an arrow, and came to the door the next day to find Bian Yujing.

Bian Yujing said that she was a female crown, but in fact, she also practiced at home, and she didn't wear Taoist robes, so to put it bluntly, she was a female layman. Her residence in Wuchang was also found for her by Shen Shuren, which was not luxurious and spacious, but it was also exquisite and elegant.

A small courtyard with three entrances, the courtyard inside the hanging flower gate is full of bamboo forests, plus small ponds and stone tables and stone benches, which looks very fame and fortune.

Fang Ziling came for the first time, looked around with great interest, and then put up the score: "Miss Bian, I heard that you were originally a member of Nanqu, and my sister was instructed by Shen Futai yesterday to help "The Continuation of the Thief" to sing a few popular passages that can be understood by illiterate people.

But I don't know how to write a record book, so I want to learn from my sister, take some beautiful words and sing more, and take a look first. ”

Bian Yujing didn't know anything, and when he heard Fang Ziling say this, he was also surprised, curious and expectant, and at the same time a little disappointed.

Three or four days ago, he and Fang Ziling obviously went to Shen Gongzi's mansion to ask Qing for advice, since Shen Gongzi had an idea, why didn't he hand it over to himself, but he wanted to go to Miss Fang?

On the music art singing book, how can I be better than Miss Fang! If you really can't do it, you can still ask Sister Xiangjun, that is the first in the world of Nanqu, and she understands it very deeply.

Bian Yujing couldn't help but secretly wonder: It seems that this Miss Fang's knowledge is really outstanding, so she was so appreciated by Shen Gongzi, and her performance that day was just a little clever after all.

Fortunately, she also knows that she is two pounds, a weak woman like duckweed without roots, what is there to fight for, she is a beautiful girl, and she is willing to come to ask for advice, which is already very face-saving.

Bian Yujing wanted to have a good relationship with the other party, so he didn't allow it, so he first took out his collection of record books without reservation.

also made good tea with her own hands, and asked Fang Ziling to sit in the quiet room and watch it slowly, she went to find Li Xiangjun and Chen Yuanyuan, and then got some better and more complete singing scripts.

Wuchang City was not big, and Bian Yujing's residence was not far from the governor's yamen, but he came back in half an hour, and he also held a large stack of fine record books.

Fang Ziling and Bian Yujing were sparring, and they began to test the water and practice first, discussing with each other.

Fang Ziling just started writing, and it was inevitable that she was not down-to-earth, and Bian Yujing also said a few words to her euphemistically, asking her not to be too elegant, so that ordinary people could understand it as much as possible.

Fang Ziling was a little angry at first glance, and felt that Bian Yujing was not as knowledgeable as her, and she still had a face.

It's quite like a professional writer who was born as a graduate student of the Academy of Letters in the later generations, and when she heard that the online writing was finger-pointing and saying that she was not grounded and not enough to write a little white language, she was generally unhappy.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

But it didn't take long for Fang Ziling to realize his problem, this time he was going to pragmatism after all, how could the thief general understand!

So she changed her course, overcame herself, and the more she wrote, the more vulgar she became, the more she wrote, the more she wrote about the Riba people, and she was not taboo about any joke.

A few days later, he took out the first one or two folded samples and showed them to the Shen Shuren. After Shen Shuren saw it, his eyes really lit up, and he instructed the family members to secretly spread the money outside.

All the record books that can be used should be printed and typeset by movable type as soon as possible, get a few hundred copies, and then send them directly to Xiangyang, Xinyang, and Nanyang for free.

and then secretly pick some drainage teams, and directly supervise the yamen and secretly pay for them to act.

After Fang Ziling and Bian Yujing's discussion and opening up their minds, the content of the drama finally brought to the stage was several times richer than what Fang Ziling said to Shen Shuren at that time.

is no longer limited to the historical period involved in "The Continuation of the Thief", and even the hot spots of current affairs involved in the scripture that are not "continued" have also been adapted.

For example, "How did Li Zicheng set up a banquet to trap and kill and smash the cup, and killed Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying." He specifically bought Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying's traitors", all of which were vividly depicted, and each traitor was added with flesh and blood characters, no less than Lu Bu's three-surnamed domestic slaves.

Such a mixture of things that have happened and those that have not yet happened, a mixture of real characters and artistic characters, seven truths and three falsehoods, after a period of spread, as long as it reaches Henan, it will definitely confuse the minds of a considerable number of people.

In less than a month, even one or two of them were famous, and even Li Zicheng himself saw it.
