Let me make a summary and thank the readers who helped me a lot with this book in September.
On the 30th and 1st, because the plot happened to be progressing and turning, I didn't bother to summarize it, and the readers must not be in the mood either. Now that I have finally finished writing this chapter of the plot, I am not afraid of spoilers anymore, so I just want to make a summary and put a thank you list.
When I was writing a few days ago, I wanted to write 50,000 to 60,000 words in one day and complete the entire plot in one go. Of course, this was impossible.
The whole design is very simple. It was explained more comprehensively in the previous chapter, so I will talk about it again here.
Xue Bai's plan: let the secret house rob Zhang Sanniang, search the secret house, kill Guo Wanjin, provoke Gao Chong to take action, trap and kill Li San'er, and drive the officials and gentry to drag Gao Chong. Xue Bai took this opportunity to use Du Youlin's banner to win over Cao Chong. work.
There are only three key steps: create evidence, get rid of key figures, and divide and win over. The core is to win over the magistrates. They are the cornerstone of the noble force and the easiest to win over.
As for why this method is used? He knew what the Anshi Rebellion was like, and Li Longji didn't believe that An Lushan really rebelled, so he never placed any hope on Li Longji and the court. More importantly, he also has his own ambitions.
I have considered writing it in another way. For example, Xue Bai said, I can't trust the emperor. I have to find a way to seize everything Gao Shang has, including the smuggled ships, money, and iron. To do this, I had to kill Li San'er, and then use Guo Wanjin's money to win over the canal workers. After I said it, he started to do it... But all the suspense was gone, and everyone's perspective was gone, it was just plain and simple.
Then, the way I write now is to suppress it until everything is revealed.
Even Xue Bai was suppressing his ambitions. Before the matter was done, he suppressed his worries and did not let anyone know that he wanted to be the emperor. He said nothing.
Gao Chong was also confused. He didn't understand why Xue Bai wanted to kill him when he first arrived. He didn't understand whether Zhang Sanniang was real or fake. He didn't understand why Xue Bai raided the secret house and killed Guo Wanjin as soon as he arrived. So he was very irritable. The more irritated he became, the more Angry, the angrier and crazier he becomes.
Depressed and irritable at the same time, the other characters couldn't understand the situation and felt that everything was in chaos. It would not be so messy if written along, but there would be no release after Xue Bai.
I have used a total of 6 chapters here, from chapters 236-241.
The bad thing is that the viewing experience of these 6 chapters is definitely depressing, irritable, and confusing. This is an unavoidable problem in serialized articles. So I think I shouldn't overplay the danger at the end.
Fortunately, after writing, it’s release. The following chapters are about how Xue Bai releases his inhibitions.
Since he had the ambition, he has never told anyone about it. From this time, he started to prepare.
Let’s talk about some frameworks:
The Lishan assassination case led to the appointment of Yanshi County. From Chapter 222, after Tong cared about the past, I used 12 chapters to foreshadow the situation in Yanshi, including the gentry, officials, tenants, slaves, and water workers. With these, why Gao Chong dared to rebel. Why did Xue Bai dare to rebel despite not trusting the court?
After that, 6 chapters of chaotic sight are used to write about the implementation process of Xue Bai's plan; finally, 2 big chapters are used to wrap up.
Completed in more than twenty chapters, the process of taking office, observing, and fighting for power is also a process of describing what Chang'an is like besides singing and dancing, and it is also the process of Xue Bai's hiding ambition to releasing it.
But from a framework perspective, this part should not take up more space in the entire book. There are too many major historical nodes to write about later.
It is necessary to write a story of seizing power in the minimum space, with ups and downs, and at the same time, it also depicts the appearance of the place. Finally, it also completes Xue Bai's story from the idea of usurping the throne to the actual implementation and beginning to have secret power. process.
It's not perfect. If more pen and ink could be used, the characters, details, and processes could be fuller. But from my perspective as an author, while trying not to make the narrative boring, the main function of this paragraph is achieved without taking up more space. There must be some shortcomings, but what I can guarantee is that I considered it carefully when I wrote it, wrote it with my heart, and did not perfunctory or fool around.
In addition, the large amount of updates has also led to a lot of uncertainties, and it’s time to slow down.
So next I should write 6,000 words a day. If it is easy to divide into chapters, I will publish it in 2 chapters. If it is not easy to divide into chapters, then I will publish it in one chapter. Still the same attitude, keep updating.
