Chapter 136: Copywriting Through the Ages
Jade Emperor: Do the three virtuous ministers know what happened in the Nether?
Three: Tell the emperor that since I got out of the red dust, I have forgotten all the things in the world.
The Jade Emperor was displeased: Bold. Have you forgotten a "famous book" written by each of them?
Luo Guanzhong: Returning to my emperor, Weichen wrote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in order to collect historical materials, investigate the humanities and landforms of Kyushu, cover himself with cloth for decades, coarse food and hunger, trek through mountains and rivers, go through thousands of hardships, and then face the wall to grind ink and stick to the bleak clear, before completing the hundred and two eyes, it is really a word of blood condensation, every sentence of tears, although death has not forgotten!
Jade Emperor: The "subjects" of the nether realm sued you for your crimes, and you deserved to die.
Luo Guanzhong: I would like to listen to the complaint.
The ministers were stunned.
Bao Qingtian's declaration:
Zhou Yu's 29th grandson Zhou Qiang sued Luo Guanzhong for violating historical facts, fabricating "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and actually putting on the crown of Li Dai, and remembering the achievements of his ancestor Zhou Yu on Zhuge Liang, I don't know how much benefit he got from the Zhuge clan.
What's even more infuriating is that Zhou Yu, who is magnanimous, bold and wise, is also written as a narrow-minded and jealous person.
According to the approval of relevant historians, there are more than 500 inaccuracies in this work, which seriously infringes on Zhou Yu's right to reputation and has a particularly bad impact.
Zhou Qiang couldn't catch Luo Guanzhong, so he put Luo Guanzhong's 17th generation grandson Luo Chiyu as a scapegoat and pushed him to the dock of the Jiangdong Court.
The final adjudication of this "historical legacy" reputation dispute case has been made:
Gu Nian Luo Chiyu is not the direct writer of the book, and there are more than ten generations apart, so the reasons are excusable, and he is exempt from other legal responsibilities, but he must be compensated for the loss of Zhou's reputation and the mental losses related to the Zhou family, totaling 500,000 yuan.
Luo Chiyu's family was embarrassed, the appeal failed, his wife Wu couldn't make sense, and hanged herself in anger, and now went to Yin Cao to find Bao Mou's comment, saying that the ancestor Luo was unkind, and it was not good to kill pigs and sheep, pedicure and mend pots, but he left a nonsense white paper and black letters, which made people grasp the handle and made the children and grandchildren uneasy......
There is also Shi Nai'an's fictional Li Kui's mother being bitten by a tiger in "Water Margin", Li Kui's descendant Li Wei was furious when he checked the "washing of the spectrum" (sorting out the family history of the faction), and threatened that there would be no such thing, and the ancestors of the Li family often did good deeds, but they could only die well, how could they die? This account can be directly settled with the "Thirty-six Tiangang" on the "underworld".
and Cao Xueqin stirred up the scandal in Jiafu in "Dream of Red Mansions", Wang Xifeng's descendant Wang Lingyu failed to sue after "awakening", so he repeatedly harassed and threatened Cao's descendants by phone: If you don't come to me to negotiate in person, don't blame someone for coming to make your Cao family restless in three or two days......
Luo, Shi, and Cao all had faces as earthy and wanted to plead.
Tai Bai Xing respectfully invites the Jade Emperor to play:
In the opinion of the ministers, all earthly things do not need to be ignored. There are three reasons for this:
First, these three masterpieces are written in literary genres and can be fictional. Mr. Lu Xun: The face is in Beijing, the clothes are in Shanghai, and the mouth is in Zhejiang, (the characters in the novel) are patchwork characters. To a certain extent, there is no art without imagination and fiction, and of course there is no literature.
Second, although the material comes from life, and it is inevitable that life is real, what is promoted in the works is righteousness, and what is needled is evil. The author has good intentions.
Third, some ordinary people are driven by profits, take me as the center, and do not hesitate to chase after the wind and catch shadows out of nothing, what kind of spiritual loss, youth loss, etc., can be said to be an infinite loss. People like Zhou Yu, Li Kui and Wang Xifeng are all characters created on the basis of life, and some people pretend to be their descendants, and even use "legal" or illegal means to ask the descendants of the three Wenchen for their crimes, which is really a big historical funny. The matter of the three ministers, I hope that the emperor will be clear, and Lord Bao will make a clear decision!
Jade Emperor: Aiqing is reasonable. No additional culpability will be given to the three virtuous ministers.
Three worships: the Emperor of Heaven Shengming, the emperor's grace is mighty.
Jade Emperor: It's just that your descendants are innocently aggrieved, and the dispute is not resolved, which alarms the heavenly court, how can this matter be settled?
Bao Qingtian: My emperor doesn't have to worry too much, why is it difficult to settle this matter? It only takes a few honest and honest judges to go down to help the right and suppress the evil.
Tai Bai Xing: Your Majesty, Wei Chen still has something to do.
Jade Emperor: Speak
Tai Bai Xing: The four Wenqu stars in the east sky, west sky, south sky, and north sky should go down to earth in the last month, but they have not moved so far, and it seems that Weichen's command is not effective.
Jade Emperor: Why is that?
Too Platinum Star:
Nowadays, most of the literati in the lower realm are poor, and pure literature is high and low, and it is always nowhere or difficult to publish, and even if it is published, few people are willing to read it. Most of those who are engaged in popular and documentary literature are afraid to write the truth with their hands and feet, or write durable legal cases, etc., even if they are pragmatic in 99 places, a careless sentence will cause a lawsuit, and even lose a huge amount of money, and if they do not do well, they will be imprisoned.
Even if it is true everywhere and is invulnerable, if you touch the suspect and make a call, you will become the target of the attack of the "forgetful person", which will cost you money at least and lose your life at worst.
You don't see the writer Wen Fang being kidnapped by the "miracle doctor" Hu and others...... Some literati like this are unable to get rid of their lingering palpitations and feel quite helpless. The Wenqu stars shuddered when they learned about this, so they refused to go down to earth for a long time.
The Jade Emperor looked at the three ministers of Luo, Shi, and Cao: I have pardoned your guilt, and then let you be born in the world to learn knowledge, straighten out the style of writing, and promote the unconventional cultural cause, are you willing to complete the mission?
Cao Xueqin: My emperor trusts, and Weichen is very lucky. It's just that there are some ideas, Wei Chen has practiced human affection in the nether world, has insight into the world, and is full of wealth, but he has ended up with a lonely and miserable fate. Now there is no power to return to heaven, and it is difficult for Weichen to obey his fate.
Shi and Luo said in unison: I and Brother Cao have a general theory, begging for the emperor's favor. There are many stars in the Heavenly Court Chinese, why not pick some stars with bright colors and majestic majesty?
The Jade Emperor was displeased, and Bao Qingtian reprimanded the three ministers for not being greedy for the comfort of the heavenly court and being sluggish in progress.
The Jade Emperor turned to anger: How dare you resist the decree and disrespect? Wait for the fall.
The three ministers were then sent to prison.
At this point, the god general with a leopard head and eyes took the wide mirror in his palm, and Wu Congcong shook his head and sighed, the three Wenchen were really wronged.
It's not wrong at all, it's good to let them get some education. When they were people in the yang world, they worked hard for the literature and were busy for the literature, only for the celebrities through the ages.
After King Chu Jiang finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, the two palace soldiers willingly escorted the guilty soul Wu Congcong out of the hall and went straight to the scissors hell under the big sea. When Wu Congcong's footsteps stepped out of the hall, he suddenly looked back, and he heard the god general with a leopard's head and eyes say that the three Wenchen would be released from the prison the next day, because the Wenqu Xingzhu of the East Heaven, the West Heaven, the South Heaven, and the North Heaven knew that the three Wenchen had made scapegoats, so they asked the Jade Emperor for their guilt and received the decree.
Wu Congcong seemed to be inspired and asked the palace servant who escorted him, I will go to the hell of scissors, when will I be able to release it?
You're not a scapegoat? You deserve it, and you want to come out before you go to hell to be punished, and dream about it!
Seeing the palace servants around him roaring so indifferently, Wu Congcong was in a sad mood, and every step he took felt heavy.
