The ratings of these books are not low, they are good-looking, the plots are not procrastinating, they have a sense of substitution, and they are also relatively novel. There is nothing that does not conform to the ancient plot settings, nor is there any pretentious plot, which is relatively mild. In the first book, Li Yu lost his father in his early years and remarried Li Gang, the inspector of Yingshan County, with his mother. Li Gang treated him like his own son, doing everything he could personally and caring about his affairs. . In the second book, the protagonist comes from a peasant family. He improves his family's conditions by himself, and he also works hard and studies hard. After becoming an official, he works diligently for the people. The third book is about the son of a fallen prince, whose mother is extremely wealthy. In the fourth book, the father is a scholar.

Reader note

Five-star recommendation for several unsystematic historical travel masterpieces that you can't put down. The first new work: describes the late Ming Dynasty, when natural disasters occurred frequently, the court was incompetent, the treasury was empty, the borders were in turmoil, people's livelihood was in decline, and internal and external troubles occurred. Watch how Emperor Zhu Changluo of January managed to survive in the treacherous and treacherous palace step by step, and then turned around and ruled the world to guide the country. The highlight of this book is that it is logical and reasonable, has plans and calculations, analyzes human nature, conceals wisdom, hides edge, saves oneself, and is temperate... Using cognition as a knife, you can break the thieves in your heart and break the trap of others. The second and third books: The writing skills are profound, smooth and natural, the plot development is reasonable and well-considered, the characters are vivid, and the IQ is online. It complements the lineage of Prince Yiwen and Zhu Biao, and looks at the ordinary fireworks of the three generations of the direct emperor Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang. Each of the three generations has a dynasty mission and controls the world step by step. The fourth book: With profound historical background, sharp writing and rigorous logic, fate is unpredictable and interests are ruthless. Let's see how Zhu Youxiao, the short-lived carpenter emperor, plans the overall situation and the world. The fifth and sixth books: Fighting against rebellion, guarding the capital, attacking slaves, stabilizing borders, exterminating traitors, fighting officials and gentry, and suppressing officials and governance... Natural disasters and military disasters and the barriers of officials and gentry become shackles of fate. Use wisdom to cut the shackles, and take fate as the bet; when the laws of survival and human weakness are intertwined into a web, use conspiracy to break the web, use the game as a chess game, and win the half of the sky, you will be a true hero. In short, there are turmoils in the temples and palaces, scheming for power, traveling through time and space, exploring the legends of emperors, making up for the regrets of the dynasty, showing the charm of history, the rise and fall, and the wheel of history is rolling forward.

Reader note

Not brainless, don't treat the ancients as fools. Su Dun took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeves, which were densely written with words. "I was in Hangzhou before. I read hundreds of books and found a few pieces of evidence. Not many, just nine." He spread the paper on the old cases next to him, "But I think the direction is right." Su Dun pointed to the first piece and said in a calm tone: "Look at the sentence in "Dayu Mo" that 'the human heart is in danger, the Dao is only small, but the essence is only one, and the Yunzhi Juezhong' is quoted in "Xunzi Jieye Pian", but Xunzi said it was quoted from the "Tao Jing", not the "Shang Shu"." "And 'Yunzhi Juezhong' should come from the Analects of Confucius. Yao said, "The calendar of heaven is in your hands, and if you are willing to hold on to it, the world will be poor, and the fortune of heaven will last forever." "The Analects of Confucius said that 'Shun also ordered Yu', but what Shun said to Yu in "Dayu Mo" is completely different from what Yao said to Shun." "The so-called sixteen words of Yu Ting are simply made up." He raised his head and glanced at everyone, waiting for them to be shocked, excited, or "enlightened" as written in later novels. However - Fan Xun raised his head and said disapprovingly: "Maybe Xunzi remembered it wrong?" Su Dun was stunned. Zhao Mingcheng nodded, with a serious look on his face: "I saw before that "Xunzi·Junzi Pian" quoted "One person is happy, and the people rely on it", and said it was the "Biography"." "Actually, this sentence comes from "Shangshu·Lu Xing"." "The source of this quotation must be misremembered by Xunzi." Su Xingchong also said: "Pre-Qin books are all bamboo slips, and it is not easy to read them. The scholars cited the scriptures and most likely wrote them from memory. Without reading and checking, the words may not be accurate." Su Dun's mouth twitched. Huh? Is there something wrong with your reaction? Too calm? Too rational? Shouldn't we exclaim "Oh my God, this is fake" and then people will be angry and share the same hatred? Why are all of them so... Calm? However, it makes so much sense, I am speechless! Li Qingzhao remained silent, just lowered his head and read the original text copied by Su Dun carefully. She stared at those lines of words for a long time, then suddenly raised her head, with a hint of weirdness in her eyes: "The original text of "Xunzi: Uncovering" is: 'In the past, when Shun ruled the world, everything was accomplished without edicts. When he was in danger, he was full of glory; when he raised a little, his glory was unknown.' Later, he quoted the "Tao Jing": "The danger of the human heart, the weakness of the Taoist heart, and the number of dangers can only be known by a wise gentleman." She looked at Su Dun with a strange light in her eyes - a look that doubted her IQ: "You don't think it's the same sentence just because 'the human heart is in danger, the Tao's heart is weak' and 'the human heart is in danger, the Tao's heart is weak' are very similar?" Su Dun was displeased and replied stiffly: "These two sentences are exactly the same, how come they are not plagiarism?" "But the meanings of these two sentences are completely different!" Li Qingzhao talked eloquently: "Xunzi first said that Shun was 'in danger' and 'nurturing the subtlety' - this means that Shun advocated using a single-minded heart to explore the subtle principles of things." "Then he quoted the "Tao Jing" that "the human heart is in danger, the Tao heart is subtle". He quoted the sentence from the "Tao Jing" in order to explain the 'danger' and 'micro' of Shun earlier." "The key point of this sentence is in the last sentence - 'The number of dangers is small, only a wise gentleman can know it'. It is talking about the 'ji' (sign) between 'danger' and 'micro', which only a 'wise gentleman' can detect." She paused, and spoke in a clear voice: "But the key point of the sixteen words of "Dayu Mo" is also at the end, 'Wei Jing Wei Yi, Yu Zhi Ju Zhong', which means to use the 'Jing Yi' skill to 'Zhi Zhong'." "The themes and philosophies of the two sentences are fundamentally different. One talks about detecting signs, and the other talks about adhering to the middle way." "Just because these eight characters are somewhat similar, do you say it is plagiarism?" Fan Wei continued: "Even if it is plagiarism, it may be that the Dao Jing copied Dayu Mo, and then was recorded as the Dao Jing. There are too many such things." He thought for a while and gave an example: "For example, the sentence 'Without indifference, one cannot achieve clear aspirations, without tranquility, one cannot reach far', which comes from "Huainanzi Zhushu Xun" of the Western Han Dynasty. More than three hundred years later, Zhuge Liang quoted it in "The Book of Commandments", and now everyone thinks it was Zhuge Liang who said it." "There is also 'the courage to be big but the heart to be small, the wisdom to be round but the action to be square', which also comes from "Huainanzi Zhushu Xun", Sun Simiao quoted it, and now everyone thinks it is Sun Simiao's words." Zhao Mingcheng added: "This is also the case in "Xunzi" itself. The section about three years of mourning in "Xunzi: Rites", from "Three years of mourning, what" to "It is the same in ancient and modern times", the entire paragraph was included in the "Book of Rites" and became the "Three Years Questions"." "Now when people quote these sentences, they must think that they come from the "Book of Rites", and not from "Xunzi"." Su Xingchong also nodded: "As for what Yao said when he surrendered to Shun, it is different from what Shun said when he surrendered to Yu. Isn't it strange?" "Two generations of holy kings faced different world situations, so they naturally had different things to say." Su Dun was confused by everyone's words and words. Didn't those books of later generations say that the "Sixteen-Character Heart Biography" was the core evidence for Yan Ruochu's falsification of "Gu Wen Shangshu"? Didn't it mean that as soon as this piece of evidence came out, the Neo-Confucianists were speechless? How come you can't even convince a few seven- and eight-year-old children here?
