Chapter 47 Copying Notes
Fu Xuechen asked tentatively: "Eunuch Wang, how many people have read this set of books?"
Wang De smiled slightly: "Of course there are a lot of them. This book was only forbidden to be spread to the world in the past dynasties, and it was not forbidden for emperors and courtiers to read it. As a history book, not to mention all historians, even most Hanlin scholars have read it.
, and those who have seen it go back and write some relevant notes and articles, etc., that is not prohibited."
Oh! That's good! That's good! In this case, assuming that his grandfather has seen it, no one will pursue it. Fu Xuechen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Yunzuo had purposely found the "Biography of Zhuge Liang" in Shu Shu, and he couldn't wait to read it. He wanted to know if there was really such a thing as borrowing arrows from a straw boat in history.
Later generations often have a misunderstanding, thinking that it was not difficult for the ancients to learn ancient prose. In fact, this is not the case. The ancients usually spoke in the vernacular, and were not as simple and concise as ancient prose, unless they quoted scriptures.
Therefore, for ordinary people, even if they know some words, it does not mean that they can understand classical Chinese. Classical Chinese is a text that only scholars can easily understand.
In other words, the ancients also needed to learn from literacy, to reading classical Chinese and understanding its meaning without any obstacles, to being able to write poetry and classical Chinese. This is not much different from the students of later generations learning classical Chinese.
Therefore, facing this history book, it was not easy for Yoong Zuo to read it. Fortunately, he had been studying classical Chinese since he was a child and had long been accustomed to it. His reading level was about the same as that of later generations of liberal arts college students, so he was able to understand the content.
The narrative style of the entire book "Three Kingdoms" is very simple, so "The Biography of Zhuge Liang" is not long. In less than two quarters of an hour, Yunzuo finished reading it. He marveled at the wisdom and talent of the Prime Minister of Shu in the record.
Achievements, but also very doubtful.
He turned to look at Fu Xuechen: "Yuchen, this book does not mention the case of borrowing arrows from thatched boats. Are you sure you didn't remember anything wrong?"
Fu Xuechen also picked up several volumes of "Book of Wei" to read at this time. She did not remember how many volumes there were in the "Book of Three Kingdoms" in the original time and space, but from what she could see in front of her eyes, there seemed to be something missing in the "Book of Wei" in this time and space.
For example, the historical records of the return of the Three Kingdoms to Jin are what she is most concerned about. Judging from the brief records in the book, after Emperor Wei Ming, there was no such thing as Sima Yi usurping the throne and establishing Jin. It was directly after the Great Yan went south to sweep the Central Plains.
The history of Dayan is not included in the records of the Three Kingdoms, so in the Biography of the Master of Wei in the Book of Wei, there are only a few sentences mentioned about it, that is, after the death of Emperor Wei Ming, because he had no heirs, he entrusted Sima Yi with the government.
Although Sima Yi was in charge of the government, there was no new leader inside, and the army of Yan State was pressing down on the country. Soon, the Wei State was destroyed and the city surrendered. Sima Yi also died violently. At that time, the leader of the Yan State was named Zhu.
One sentence.
Perhaps, we need to consult the historical documents of the Great Yan Empire to make a rough guess as to whether the founder of Great Yan was also a time traveler. However, the guess is just a guess after all, and it cannot be confirmed.
This is like many people in the previous life suspected that the usurper Wang Mang was a time traveler, and accordingly put forward many supporting evidences, such as why he made the queen wear short skirts, killed all the sons of his predecessor, invented the vernier caliper, tried to build an aircraft, etc.
, but Wang Mang himself never said that he was a time traveler, so people could only doubt him in the end.
Fu Xuechen was briefly distracted when he suddenly heard Yue Zuo's question and denied it flatly: "Absolutely not, that's what my grandfather said, I remember it clearly! Since there is no similar record in the "The Biography of Zhuge Liang", then maybe it is
A little story that my grandfather made up casually for his grandson, right?"
"Oh!" Yoong Zuo was disappointed and envious at the same time: "When you were a child, you could actually listen to Duke Xianjing telling such wonderful stories about battles of wits and courage. Even if they were made up, it's totally enviable!"
Fu Xuechen smiled and said: "Your Highness, why should you be envious? My sister got a bookstore a few days ago and signed several storytellers to prepare some new storybooks. One of the series tells the story of the Three Kingdoms."
"My sister plans to ask the teacher to compile some of the Three Kingdoms stories my grandfather told me into a Newspeak book. When the time comes, it will be printed into a book. I will send a set to Your Highness."
When Yoong Zuo heard this, he was very happy: "That's great! Then I'll wait."
Fu Xuechen pointed to the "Three Kingdoms" in front of him and said: "It's a pity that this set of books is hard to find outside. In order to avoid compiling the new version of the novel too outrageously and deviating from historical facts, I originally wanted the native speaker to read through this book.
…”
Yun Zuo glanced at her funny, and now he also realized it. No wonder this guy wanted to tell him the story about borrowing arrows from a straw boat. It turned out that he came here for this set of books. What a pity, Wenyuan Pavilion's
The royal family can borrow books in the palace, and courtiers can also check them out in the court or palace, but they are not allowed to be borrowed outside the palace.
"Let's do this!" Yoong Zuo thought for a while and said: "I see that you are always bored at the Ministry of Works these days. In the next few days, I will go to the Ministry of Works by myself, and you can come here by yourself in the afternoon.
Ready to read! You have a warrant to enter and leave Wenyuan Pavilion, I will ask Li Banban to lead you, it should be fine."
Fu Xuechen beamed with joy and quickly thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
"You're welcome. I'm doing this just so I can see the Three Kingdoms Newsletter you mentioned as soon as possible."
Yoong Zuo smiled gently and carefully asked the eunuch Wang De Wang Eunuch to bring some paper and spread out the pen and ink for Fu Xuechen to take notes. Then he left Wenyuan Pavilion and went out of the palace to the Ministry of Works Office as usual.
Fu Xuechen first wrote down the two words "Book of Wei" on paper, and planned to copy down some key information starting from the historical materials recorded in the Book of Wei, such as the birth and death dates of important figures, the names, locations and changes of their positions, and the names of the figures.
relationships, important words and deeds, articles and experiences, etc. In addition, it is to briefly write down the major and minor events that happened that year based on the chronology.
Because the entire story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" clearly exists in her memory, and the romance is a romance after all, not a rigorous historical record, so she doesn't actually need to verify the historical facts in detail. She only needs to
Just write down the relevant information.
It is not an easy task to extract the essence of the story from a bunch of messy information. It requires a lot of time to repeatedly review the information, deduce and create.
What Fu Xuechen wants to do is the opposite. She has a complete story first, and only needs to add some detailed information that is difficult to remember accurately. This is relatively simple and can be completed in a few days.
Writing traditional Chinese characters with a brush was still too time-consuming. Fu Xuechen felt inconvenienced just after copying the brief personal information of this important figure, Cao Cao.
Chapter completed!
