Chapter 1949 I really can’t spray
This situation actually shows another thing, that is, this serial novel is completely popular.
This is the first time that an online novel is faithful to the historical background and can withstand historical verification. However, it is different from orthodox historical novels and has the space to travel through imagination. It is highly immersive for readers.
The personalities and historical allusions of the characters hidden in the historical background of the story have become Easter eggs buried under the article.
Zhengzhou, which was upstream of Kaifeng Prefecture at that time, was even so perverted that whether it was a county or a state, with the blessing of the Clover search engine, it had undergone rigorous search and research. As a result, when some netizens raised the possibility When it was Zheng County, some netizens pointed out that Zhengzhou was indeed Zhengzhou at that time, but it was downgraded to Zheng County from the fifth year of Xining to the eighth year of Yuanfeng.
As one of the four auxiliaries of the capital city of Kaifeng, "Xifu", Zhengzhou in the book also serves as an important node of the industrial base and the logistics channel connecting Luoyang. Its status is far more important than in real history, so it is no longer possible. The situation of "downgrading" occurs again.
Similarly, in the process of searching for creation, Zhou Zhi discovered many issues that had been ignored when studying before, such as whether Li Qingzhao's grandfather was Wang Gui or Wang Gongchen.
Zhou Zhi had read many Song Dynasty notes and "History of the Song Dynasty", but he had never thought about this issue "combinedly".
When I started writing the book and needed to look up this information, I discovered that the "History of the Song Dynasty: Biography of Li Gefei" recorded this: "Li Gefei, courtesy name Uncle Wen, was from Jinan... His wife was Wang, and he was Gongchen's granddaughter. , is also good at writing. Female Qingzhao, especially poetry. It was famous at that time that he married Zhao Tingzhi's son Mingcheng and called himself Yi An Jushi. "
But this record is almost an isolated evidence. On the contrary, it is a collection of essays written by contemporaries. and "Wang Gongchen's Epitaph" written by An Tao for Wang Gongchen.
In the epitaph, An Tao made quite detailed records of Wang Gongchen's life experience and descendants, but did not mention a word about his grandson-in-law Li Gefei.
Wang Gui, who died in the same year as Wang Gongchen, clearly recorded the relationship between Wang Gui and Li Gefei in the "Wang Wengong Gonggui Shinto Stele", "Prime Minister Wang Gonggui... passed away in May. Ms. Li Gefei, a professor in Yunzhou, He died early; the second time was Lu Qiuxu, the former doctor of Quan Taichang; the second time was when Xu married the former scholar Zheng Juzhong and was granted the title of King of Penglai County; the second time was still young. "
It can be seen from this: Wang Gui's eldest son-in-law. It was indeed Li Gefei, but the eldest daughter died before Wang Gui.
"History of the Song Dynasty" is an official historical material. Usually, its records cannot be overturned without evidence. Therefore, combined with the notes and the epitaphs and Shinto tablets of the two big men, the most likely possibility is that Li Gefei not only married His first wife was Wang Gui's eldest daughter, and his second wife was Wang Gongchen's granddaughter, and he married him some time after Wang Gongchen's death.
Two questions arise from this.
First, from a historical perspective, Li Gefei's political and literary status was not high.
His achievements in Confucian classics are quite good. Although he was ranked among the "Four Scholars after the Su family", "History of Song Dynasty·Yiwenzhi" records that he only has sixteen volumes of "Book of Rites" and five volumes of "Historical Biography". , "" one volume, "Yongluo City Chronicles" one volume.
The most famous article is "Book of Luoyang Famous Gardens", which I believe most Chinese people have never read.
The highest official positions are Tai Xuezheng and Rites Yuanwailang, which are not important official positions.
This is amazing. So what is so unique about Li Gefei that made the two prime ministers marry their daughters to him?
In addition, there is another question, who was Li Qingzhao born? Is she Wang Gui's biological granddaughter or Wang Gongchen's biological granddaughter? Another example is when looking for information about the war, Zhou Zhi also found that the specific location of Weizhou, a very important border pass in the history of the Tang and Song Dynasties, was a historical mystery.
In ancient history, the Weihe River was not a very honest river. It was often flooded and had its course changed.
As an important war fortress and a battleground for military strategists, Weizhou is often destroyed, rebuilt, destroyed, and rebuilt again by the military forces that occupy it. Each time, its geographical location will be determined according to the strength at that time. Contrasting situations and being in different positions.
The same situation also applies to the geographical location of the Yan, Xia, Yin and Lin states that were in the border areas at that time.
Of course, the level of thoroughness in my previous life was not as high as this one. When I was writing novels, I simply checked them, and I was satisfied if there were no mistakes in the book.
This life is fun. After thoroughly researching the problem, you can easily write a research paper of thousands of words.
Many of them are directions and issues that have been ignored or confused by the academic community, so the quality of the written articles is still very high. This kind of paper that is easy to attract attention and has academic value, and is not too long is also the favorite of "Literature and History" category, so although Zhou Zhi was very busy during this period, the frequency of his articles being published in "Literature and History" became even higher.
Although Zhou Zhi’s main profession is phonology and text exegesis, this is also the tradition within the sect. Except for Gu Shaoxian, every subsequent generation is not limited to phonology exegesis. They are the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty History, an expert in the history of the Five Dynasties.
Now that Zhou Zhi and Song Dynasty experts have developed a trend, this tradition has been continued according to the order of dynasties. I don’t know if it is God’s will.
These studies, in turn, have strengthened the academic value of the novel "Su's Kitchen". Although no one knows who the author is, rumors have emerged on the Internet that the author is a counselor at the History Department of Peking University.
Writing novels can also produce some thesis research results, which Gu Lao and Gu Kailai like to see. Gu Kailai himself is an expert in the study of the Song Dynasty, and has profound literary attainments, and even joined the ranks of criticizing.
For example, some famous poems quoted by Zhou Zhi, such as Su Shi's, a book friend with the nickname "Carrying on the Past and Opening Up the Future" pointed out that the creation time of that poem did not match the timeline in the book, and the poem's The style is not Su Shi's early style. Zhou Zhi made it appear in the chapter early, which is a minor flaw.
For this kind of "fault-finding post", Zhou Zhi could only sincerely thank the boss for his advice. At the same time, he said that the real situation was indeed as the book friend said, but because of the needs of the plot, this poem was allowed to appear in advance. It's just in the writing of Su Shi in the book.
For such book friends, many book friends from the Chinese Department of Shu University would shout "Niu Niu Niu". Seeing these cheers, Zhou Zhi secretly rolled his eyes. Your dean, of course, is Niu Niu Niu, but It's actually quite boring to find trouble in person.
Even so, there were still many voices criticizing the novel. It was not until the plot developed in the book that the protagonist began to compose ancient poems and prose. As a turning point, the voices of criticism suddenly became smaller.
Even graduate students in the Chinese Department may not be able to write elegant, meaningful and thoughtful ancient letters, parallel prose, or even poems that can accompany historical figures according to the plot development of the book. And don’t fall behind.
Using the comments of several interesting book friends, I can criticize other books, but I really can’t criticize this one. Even Qi Kailai said that this is a sense of language developed from childhood skills, and it is really hard to criticize.
