Although at that time, after seeing the sworn verification of this group member named Escape from Destiny, Liu Xu wanted to correct the other party's poor view of history.
But in the end, Liu Xu held back, because he discovered that the culprit of this funny test was actually himself.
It's because I only cut out the history of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and wrote it for everyone to read. People who don't have common sense of earth's history will naturally make up a lot of things based on their imagination after seeing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
And only after knowing the entire history of China, he is qualified to ridicule the other party like this.
On the other hand, the history of China is so vast, and what can be recorded in history books is just a drop in the ocean. Is the history that Liu Xu himself firmly believes in the real history?
Take the author of Dream of Red Mansions as an example, although almost everyone thinks that the author of this book is Cao Xueqin. But in fact, this research result was only obtained during the Republic of China. Before the Republic of China, no one could identify the real author of Dream of Red Mansions because there was no reliable historical data recording this incident.
The Dream of Red Mansions was written by Cao Xueqin, and it was only the result of research by Hu Shi, the ambassador of the Republic of China to the United States. Who can guarantee that this ambassador Hu Shi was not praying to escape fate at this time, but only based on some of his own assumptions, and finally deduced the origin of Dream of Red Mansions. Is the author Cao Xueqin?
Thinking of this, Liu Xu had no intention of criticizing this group member at all, and even admired him very much, because logically speaking, it was very impressive that he could infer such a result from the only data.
Moreover, Liu Xu further discovered that readers of Romance of the Three Kingdoms are now almost accustomed to all kinds of incomprehensible nouns, and many readers even regard it as their greatest pleasure to examine the meaning of each noun.
For example, the current Comparative Dictionary of Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been updated to the 9th edition, which already contains the explanations of more than 700 words. All of this work is completed by readers voluntarily, and the total number of participating readers exceeds 120. The daily fun of many readers is to troll each other in the group.
Oh, no, it should be discussing the specific meaning of a certain word.
Of course, there are also some newcomers who have just joined the group and curiously ask the big guys in the group for some terms they don’t understand.
For example, there is a reader named "I am Brother Jiu". Within a few minutes of joining the group, he has already asked very eagerly in the group, "What does it mean to hold the emperor in order to command the princes? I often say this in novels I saw this sentence, but I didn’t understand what it specifically meant.”
"have no idea."
"The same question"
"Don't you know how to look it up in a dictionary?"
Despite these bad-attitude replies, some relatively patient group members still replied, "It's actually easy to explain to hold the emperor in order to command the princes. If you look at the dictionary, you will know that the emperor and the emperor both mean the same thing, and they are the sons of gods. , is also the king who rules the world of the Three Kingdoms. In the current timeline of the novel, he is Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty Liu Xie."
"The princes are next. Initially, it can be inferred from the gathering of eighteen princes at Hulao Pass that the princes should be the leaders of private armed forces with territory, soldiers and people under their control."
"Taking hold of the emperor to order the princes, this sentence was originally proposed by Cao Cao's counselor when he was helping Cao Cao come up with ideas. Combining the plot before and after it can be clearly understood that he hoped that Cao Cao would control the emperor and then order the princes in the name of the emperor. In order to achieve the goal of conquering the world!"
When Liu Xu saw this answer, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
So I have seen too many unreliable testimonials before, but in general, my readers are quite powerful. There were many things that Liu Xu didn't write clearly at all, but after their various guesses, combined with the context and some logical judgments, they all inferred the same thing.
Taking the previous comparison dictionary as an example, more than 76.8% of the words are explained very accurately.
Of the remaining 23.2%, more than half are correct, but there are major discrepancies in the details. The actual level of verification of the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty is less than 3%, which is why Liu Xu did not come forward. The reason why this comparison dictionary is stopped is because this comparison dictionary is indeed useful.
For example, this group member is now explaining the meaning of holding the emperor in order to command the princes. Except that the explanation of the princes is a bit sloppy, and they cannot be called princes without having soldiers, the rest is completely fine.
Also, it was not Cao Cao's counselors who proposed the idea of holding the emperor hostage to order the princes, but the "Zuo Zhuan", a historical book from the Spring and Autumn Period.
But even Liu Xu, the author himself, nodded his head at the explanation. Unexpectedly, the reader who asked the question retorted, "I thought that was what it meant at first, but when I thought about it more, I felt something was wrong. I read all the books in the book There were three emperors, and the first one blatantly bought and sold officials, triggering the Yellow Turban Rebellion."
"The second emperor was killed directly by Dong Zhuo."
"And the third emperor became a plaything in the hands of Cao Cao. Regardless of the character of these emperors themselves, the emperor himself had lost his prestige. How could the people accept such a person as the highest leader."
"Even if the people in the novel are very ignorant, those who are qualified to be called princes are obviously smarter than the others. How could they just surrender and obey their opponents just because of a letter from the emperor? ?”
"Also, almost everyone in the novel, including Cao Cao and Liu Bei, would kneel on the ground when they saw such an empty-headed emperor. This is unreasonable and illogical. They have no reason to kneel down to worship such an empty-headed emperor. people."
"So I think the author didn't handle this well. He treated all the characters in the novel as tools. The normal logic should be that Cao Cao would directly kill the emperor and then call himself the emperor. This is how Cao Cao behaves. It's what a strong person should do, instead of continuing to kneel down to a child." I am Ninth Brother said generously.
"Hey, someone finally spoke up about this problem. I also think that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms still has big problems. Some things are handled too hastily. The emperor's setting is indeed too forceful!"
Immediately afterwards, the group of friends began to discuss the setting of the emperor, and finally concluded that the setting of the emperor and the emperor was a major mistake by the author. The emperor could not have such a huge influence, and there was no need for the heroes. Treating the emperor like this is completely a forced plot setting.
