Chapter 35: Your Premise Is Too Forced

Although at that time, after seeing the sworn verification of this group friend named Escape from Fate, Liu Xu had a feeling of wanting to correct the other party's bad view of history.

But in the end, Liu Xu still held back, because he found that the culprit who caused this funny research was actually himself.

is because he only intercepted the history of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and wrote it for everyone to see, those who do not have the common sense of the history of the earth, after seeing such a Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they will naturally make up a lot of things according to their imagination.

And it is on the basis of knowing the entire history of China that he is qualified to ridicule the other party like this.

On the other hand, the history of China is so huge, what can be recorded in the history books is just a drop in the ocean, is the history that Liu Xu himself believes in the real history?

Take the author of Dream of Red Mansions, for example, although almost everyone thinks that the author of this book is Cao Xueqin. But in fact, this research result was only obtained during the Republic of China. Before the Republic of China, no one could determine who the real author of Dream of Red Mansions was, because there was no reliable historical record of this incident.

And Dream of Red Mansions is written by Cao Xueqin, but it is only the result of the research of Hu Shi, the ambassador of the Republic of China to the United States, who can guarantee that this ambassador Hu Shi is not a prayer to escape from fate at this time, but based on some of his own assumptions, he finally speculated that the author of Dream of Red Mansions is Cao Xueqin?

Thinking of this, Liu Xu didn't criticize this group friend at all, and even admired him very much, because logically speaking, he was able to deduce such a result from the only information, which was still very good.

Moreover, Liu Xu further found that almost all readers of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are now accustomed to all kinds of unintelligible terms, and many readers even regard it as the greatest pleasure to verify the meaning of each term.

For example, the current Romance of the Three Kingdoms Comparative Dictionary has been updated to the 9th edition, which already contains more than 700 explanations of words, and all of this work is done spontaneously by readers, and the total number of participating readers is more than 120 people.

Oh no, it's supposed to be a discussion about the specific meaning of a word.

Of course, there are also some newcomers who have just joined the group, and they are curious to ask the big guys in the group for some terms they don't understand.

For example, there is now a reader called "I am the ninth brother", who has only been in the group for a few minutes, and has already asked very eagerly in the group, "What does it mean to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" I often see this phrase in novels, but I don't understand what it means. ”

"I don't know."

"Ask the same question"

"Don't you know how to compare the dictionary yourself?"

Aside from these replies with a bad attitude, there are still more patient group members who replied, "Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, in fact, it is easy to explain, you can see that the Son of Heaven and the Emperor both mean the same thing, he is the son of the gods, and he is also the king who rules the world of the Three Kingdoms. ”

"Then there are the princes, and at the beginning, it can be inferred from the gathering of the princes of the Eighteen Roads at the Tiger Prison Pass that the princes should be the leaders of the private armed forces with territory, soldiers and people under their hands."

"Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, this sentence was originally put forward by Cao Cao's strategists when he helped Cao Cao come up with ideas, and it can be clearly understood when combined with the plot before and after, he hopes that Cao Cao will control the Son of Heaven, and then order the princes in the name of the Son of Heaven, so as to achieve the goal of dominating the world!"

Seeing this answer, Liu Xu couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

So I've seen too many unreliable references before, but in general, my readers are still quite powerful. Many things that Liu Xu didn't understand at all, in the case of their various guesses, combined with the context before and after, as well as some logical judgments, they all inferred that they were inseparable.

If you want to take the previous comparison dictionary, there are more than 76.8% of the words, and the explanations are very accurate.

Of the remaining 23.2%, more than half of them have the right meaning, but there are big differences in the details, and the level of research of the real Chu Han Sanjie is less than 3%, which is why Liu Xu did not come forward to stop this comparative dictionary, because this comparative dictionary is indeed useful.

For example, now this group friend explains the meaning of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, except that the princes' explanations are a little sloppy, and they can be called princes if they don't have soldiers, the rest are completely fine.

Also, it was not Cao Cao's advisers who put forward the sentence of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but the historical book "Zuo Chuan" in the Spring and Autumn Period.

But even our author himself, Liu Xu, nodded his head to explain, but unexpectedly, the reader who asked the question retorted, "I thought it was the same meaning at first, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was very wrong." I read that there were a total of three emperors in the book, and the first one openly bought and sold officials, causing the Yellow Turban Rebellion. ”

"The second Son of Heaven was directly killed by Dong Zhuo."

And the third Son of Heaven has become a plaything in Cao Cao's hands, regardless of the conduct of these Son of Heaven himself, the Son of Heaven itself has lost his prestige. How could the populace accept such a person as the supreme leader. ”

"Even if the people in the novel are very ignorant, but those who are qualified to be called princes are obviously smarter than the other, how can they directly bow down to their own opponents just because of a letter from the Son of Heaven?"

"And almost everyone in the novel, including Cao Cao and Liu Bei, has to kneel on the ground when they see such an empty emperor, which is unreasonable, this is illogical, and they have no reason to bow down to such a person who has lost power."

"So I think the author didn't handle it well in this area, and completely used all the novel characters as tool people here, the normal logic should be that Cao Cao directly destroyed the Son of Heaven, and then called himself the Son of Heaven, this is what a strong man like Cao Cao should do, instead of continuing to kneel down to a child." I am Brother Jiu, and I said generously.

"Hey, someone finally said this problem, I also think that the problem of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is still very big, and some things are too urgent to deal with, and the setting of the Son of Heaven is indeed too forced!"

Immediately afterwards, the group began to discuss the setting of the Son of Heaven, and finally came to the conclusion that the setting of the Son of Heaven and the Emperor was a major mistake of the author, and it was impossible for the Son of Heaven to have such a huge influence, and there was no need for the heroes to treat the Son of Heaven like this, this was completely a forced plot setting.
