If he only wrote an article about the political theory of the Empress Yuan Zhao, Jiang Lingxi could write tens of thousands of words without stumbling at all from beginning to end.

But the paper is different.

Any argument must be well-founded and have a corresponding source!

Otherwise, where did you get these arguments? The most taboo thing about papers is to make them up out of thin air.

Rao had Shen Yunqing help sort out the relevant historical materials, and such a paper took her nearly a month.

Of course, the results are also very remarkable, the whole paper is nearly 100 pages, the word count is almost exceeded, and the references attached to the back are two and a half pages.

After compressing and sending it to Professor Zhou's mailbox, Jiang Lingxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Professor Zhou, who received the student's email, stayed up all night after opening the paper.

When Jiang Lingxi received a call from him the next morning and rushed to the office, he saw Professor Zhou with bloodshot eyes and a hoarse voice.

"Mr. Jiang, sit down. I read your paper overnight," Professor Zhou held the paper version that had just been printed out and was still a little warm, his fingers trembling a little because of excitement, "but there are many places where I want to discuss with you in person, so I specially called you over." ”

"By the way, I also called a few professors from the history department to discuss it, you drink saliva first, and you should be able to answer a lot of questions later. When everyone is ready, let's go to the conference room next door. ”

Jiang Lingxi had been mentally prepared for Professor Zhou's reaction, but he didn't expect the other party to be in such a hurry, so he nodded calmly when he heard the words, and obediently took a disposable water cup to catch water.

Halfway through the drink, several of the professors who had been called hurried to the office.

"I heard that you received a paper that you can't get any of your arguments for, show it to me."

"Which graduate student under your command wrote it?"

"It's rare to have a paper that you can't get even if you read it, I'll see you for a long time, haha!"

Jiang Lingxi, the professors who came, had also seen them, and she had also taken each other's classes.

It's just that I didn't expect to be so lively in private.

"Ahem, shut up. Let me introduce you to the author of this paper, Mr. Jiang, you come. ”

Jiang Lingxi put down the cup and walked over, and greeted several professors in turn.

"I have an impression of this classmate, have you listened to my class?"

"I remember you're only a sophomore now, right?"

"Jiang's major courses have been completed, and he can get his graduation certificate just after passing the thesis defense."

"Not bad, not bad."

"Let's go to the conference room and discuss it."

This discussion lasted for most of the day.

It is also thanks to Professor Zhou that he marked out the main outline of the paper in advance, saving the time of reading it from beginning to end.

What Jiang Lingxi had to do on the spot was to let the big men in the history department in front of him agree and accept his arguments.

There is even some disproving arguments.

The fierce discussion in the conference room basically never stopped, and it could even be regarded as a private thesis defense.

No, it's more intense than the thesis defense.

Several professors are not young, on average around 50 years old.

But now their bodies are tired, but their spirits are very high.

After all, after this discussion, they really gained a lot.

The study of history is to deduce the policies and ideas of predecessors based on existing historical materials.

However, Rao is a so-called historian like them, and he does not dare to guarantee that his research on his predecessors is completely correct.

Sometimes you have already won the approval of most people on the research results of existing sources, but the discovery of a new historical source may overturn all your previous conclusions.

Moreover, there are always many contradictions in the study of history. There are thousands of people, and different people's understanding of historical materials may also be very different. Especially when it comes to policy thinking.

The same idea, some people think it is good, and some people think it is bad.

The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and it can be noisy to the point of making people's heads big.

This is also the reason why Professor Zhou was worried about the topic selection of Jiang Lingxi's thesis.

An emperor's political arguments basically represent her ruling thoughts, and I don't know how many people have studied this point since ancient times, not only with a wide range, but also with many mature conclusions, and he is really worried that students will not be able to eat it.

In the end, if you write a four-dislike, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

Until last night, he received an email from Jiang Lingxi.

The structure is clear, the whip penetrates into the inside, and the words must be in the middle.

Let him hold this old bone unconsciously from the night to the dawn, and stay awake all night.

After reading it, I couldn't even bother to go back and make up for sleep, so I couldn't wait to summon the author of the paper and a few old friends.

In fact, some of the conclusions in this paper are too subversive, and even negate the conclusions that many historians have already formed.

But there is something to say, and while he is shocked, even he is a little unsure of who to believe.

I can only ask the author of this paper in more depth in person, and then discuss it with a few friends.

Jiang Lingxi couldn't let them down.

Answers to questions, clear views, and chiseled evidence!

Just this question and answer, and occasional discussion, directly make them ignore the passage of time.

Until the end, there was nothing to ask, and after a long time of brainstorming, I only felt dizzy, and there was a sideways glance at the student in front of me.

I also have to look sideways!

If it weren't for the fact that it was now possible to confirm that this paper was written by a sophomore like Jiang Lingxi, and to tell them that it was written by a certain historian, they probably wouldn't have doubted it.

Seeing that Jiang Lingxi consciously turned off the computer at the end of the defense, Professor Guo, who was sitting opposite Professor Zhou, took a sip of water to relieve his somewhat hoarse throat, and then said coldly: "Student Jiang, you will graduate from your undergraduate degree soon, do you have any plans to continue your studies, are you interested in studying for my graduate school?" ”

Professor Zhou was squinting and rubbing his temples, the amount of information brought by this defense was too great, and he had not slept all night, so he could finally relax, only to feel that his temples were protruding.

But as soon as he heard this, he hurriedly opened his eyes and glared over, "Lao Guo, you are embarrassed to rob people in front of me!" ”

"I'm so embarrassed, I'm asking classmate Jiang in the open. Jiang is a good seedling, this paper is written at a high level, isn't it normal for me to include her in the door? ”

"I'm her thesis advisor, she wants to go to graduate school, she shouldn't choose me first, it's not your turn!"

Jiang Lingxi closed the computer and looked up, "I ......"

The words "I didn't think about going to graduate school" were swallowed back by her after facing the burning eyes in front of her.

"After discussing for so long, do you want the professors to go back and rest first?"

Is it okay to go to graduate school or something, and then talk about it later?
