I have nothing to do today to post a chapter and chat. I've read all the comments. And basically most of them responded. This is my favorite thing to do. It's okay to chat with everyone and discuss it. I found that this book club is really about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. What a wide range of knowledge. I wonder if you are like me. When reading a novel, I always go to Baidu to look up information.
It’s really interesting to answer everyone’s questions. Especially when there are several people discussing it.
First of all, thank you to the readers who rewarded me. Yesterday, Chen Ting, who goes by the name "White Guding Tea Lover", gave a Cui Gengfu. I said it before. No need to spend money, just a few free tips. It was originally a free novel website. Isn't it just a picture without spending money? Please pay attention if you are interested in helping. Live broadcasters don’t often say: Thank you for your attention, brother. The number of fans is a bit low. Don't worry about watching it in the future and leaving money to buy it.
One of the readers here has a mother who is a doctor, and I would like to express my sincere regards to this. Doctors are really not as glamorous as most people think. Very hard. Work hard. Salute to all medical staff.
I'm not actually a medical student. It’s just that I’m currently working in the pharmaceutical industry. Because I’ve been around for a long time, I know better. So don’t say that I am studying medicine anymore. It would be a big sin for me not to discredit medical students.
Actually, it’s okay. It’s quite interesting for everyone to chat and talk about the mountains in the comments. Here they are. Let me answer a few people's questions.
1. Many people have opinions on the method of pickling locusts with salt, thinking that salt is expensive. But I checked the information and found that the price of salt during the Zhenguan period was not as expensive as imagined. There are two opinions. One is 10 cents per catty. There is also a recorded price of 20 cents per bucket. No matter which kind of pickled locusts you make, you won't lose money. And it's not a salt pickle, just pickle it a little to prevent it from spoiling. So don’t worry about it.
2. Some people suspect that Qin Qiong participated in the Xuanwumen Incident. The basis for this is that historical records record that Qin Qiong was not among the people who entered the Xuanwu Gate with Li Shimin. What I want to say here is that you are participating if you don’t enter.
Li Shimin fought with Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to the death. Is it possible for Li Shimin to leave a strong general like Qin Qiong unused? Qin Qiong, who is always used as a vanguard general, will definitely come in handy during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and it will be of great use.
From the initial planning to the specific execution of the Xuanwumen Incident, many people participated. For example, Zhang Liang, who was responsible for liaising with the powerful, Gao Shilian, who was responsible for releasing prisoners, Qu Tutong, who was responsible for guarding Luoyang, and Chang He, who was responsible for guarding Xuanwu Gate, which one did not participate in the Xuanwu Gate Incident?
A second-rate guy like Zhang Liang can participate, let alone a strong general like Qin Qiong.
I checked the information. Among the ten people who entered Xuanwu Gate with Li Shimin at that time, Yuchi Jingde played the greatest role. Qin Qiong also had an important task outside the city, which was to guard against Feng Li and Xue Wanche, the prince's subordinates. These two people are fierce generals. How can anyone with no ability intimidate these two people? Even if Li Shimin kills Li Jiancheng at that time. If these two men attack Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin may not survive.
Therefore, Li Shimin's arrangement is particularly correct, one inside and one outside. One for offense and one for defense. Moreover, there are also historical records that Qin Qiong participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
"Old Book of Tang: Biography of Qin Shubao" - June 4th, Congzhu Jiancheng and Yuanji. When things are peaceful, I worship General Zuo Wuwei and seal seven hundred households.
"Old Book of Tang: Biography of Changsun Shunde" - In the ninth year of Wude, he negotiated with Qin Shubao and others to establish the remaining party at Xuanwu Gate
So Qin Qiong participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
3. The issue of Concubine Wei’s height. Many documents have recorded that Wei Guifei was over 1.9 meters tall. Otherwise, how could Li Shimin fall in love with this widow? There is a desire to conquer. Some would say it was a marriage that secured Webster's support. But don't forget that there is another widow, Wei Nizi, who entered the palace together. Her father was Wei Kuangbo, the Duke of Yun State at that time. Concubine Wei's father, Wei Yuancheng, died long ago. Why was Concubine Wei so favored and named the first of the four concubines? Wei Nizi is just Zhaorong. Everyone is in the widow industry. Therefore, Concubine Wei must have something special about her, she is tall and has an explosive figure. And her beauty is outstanding. That's why Li Shimin liked her and gave birth to two children. Wei Nizi didn't have any children.
However, some people said they didn’t believe a few friends who asked me to send photos. Someone also asked me how big my heart is. I was also speechless. I am Tang Chuan, not Song Chuan, and it has nothing to do with Jin Ping Mei. How about waiting until I finish writing this book. I'm writing a story about Li Shimin and Concubine Wei in The Plum in the Golden Lotus? (Note, some people here will definitely say that Jin Ping Mei was written in the Ming Dynasty, but the background of the story of Jin Ping Mei is during the Huizong period of Song Dynasty.)
Finally, if you have any questions, please leave a message for discussion. I will also open a chapter from time to time to answer everyone one by one. Thanks
