The initial scene is of great significance in the trial copy.
It is not only an initial interface for identity selection, but also contains some information.
For example, the initial scene of "The matter must be closed before the coffin is settled" is on the city wall of the county town, while the initial scene of "The title of marquis is not my intention" is in Lin Xiangmin's governor's office.
They all play a very crucial role in connecting the plot of the entire copy.
Although analyzing the initial scene may not be of much help in cracking the dungeon, it can, to a certain extent, allow players to grasp some core elements of the dungeon earlier.
Chu Ge said: “This initial scene is very simple and should represent the general status quo of that era.
"The area where Sheng Taizu lived was quite special, and he experienced many major disasters during his youth.
“Including droughts, locust plagues, plagues, and later floods that caused chaos in the world.
“These natural disasters were extremely deadly to all farmers at that time.
"Just like what is shown in this copy, during a drought, the earth cracks and the grass and trees die; during a locust plague, locusts cover the sky and gnaw everything; a plague breaks out, leaving nine houses empty, and the edges of the village are full of dead bodies. ; But when the floods came, the Yellow River changed its course, and thousands of miles were reduced to a swamp. Countless people were washed away by the floods and buried in the belly of fish.
“And this piece of land, as the initial scene, is the witness of all this, witnessing the countless farmers with tragic fate, ups and downs and struggling to make a living on this land.”
The other three were silent.
Good guy.
I originally thought that the scenes of drought, locust plague, plague, floods, etc. that appeared in this initial scene were just an exaggerated expression technique, which concentrated the natural disasters in different places.
But I didn't expect that they were all true, and they all happened in one place.
According to ordinary people's concepts, disasters should be different in different places. For example, floods occur in places with more water, and droughts occur in places with less water.
But in fact, droughts are often followed by locust plagues, and locust plagues are followed by floods, endlessly.
There are only a few years when the weather is really good.
Just like money will flow to those who are not short of money, love will flow to those who are not short of love, and suffering will find those who can endure it best.
The hemp rope is broken at the smallest point, and bad luck only finds the poor.
The initial scene that players see at this time is the real life scene of Sheng Taizu when he was a boy.
"Now that the identity is determined, let's seize the time to enter the dungeon to see the specific situation."
Everyone selected their own identity cards.
After the identities were assigned, everyone entered different periods of this historical slice and began the trial.
…
Chu Ge chose the identity of [Emperor], that is, Sheng Taizu in his later years.
After selecting the identity card, the scene around him began to change rapidly.
Finally, everything settled, and Chu Ge found that he had arrived in a palace hall.
In front of him, there were piles of various memorials.
Three talent cards appeared in front of Chu Ge.
[Ren·Spiritual (White): You are energetic and can stay awake after working for a long time. The effect is doubled in old age. 】
[Ren: Not Angry and Self-Awesome (Blue): Your majesty is improved, and the opponent becomes more likely to panic in front of you. 】
[Xin Kang’s statement (blue): Your speech becomes more infectious and convincing. 】
The regular trial illusion is not as generous as the cavalry trial copy, and the talents and skills given are all relatively common talents.
Chu Ge first ruled out the third talent. Obviously, for the emperor, there was little need to convince anyone.
After hesitating between the first two talents, Chu Ge finally decided to choose "Spiritual".
Because he knew very well that at this time, he was playing the role of Sheng Taizu in his twilight years. He was already in his seventies and had not long left before his death.
The average age in ancient times was very low. Even emperors often died in their forties or fifties. Therefore, Sheng Taizu's seventy-year-old age is truly "rare in ancient times".
In this state, if you don't have enough energy, you probably won't be able to accomplish anything.
In comparison, staying calm may be useful when interrogating officials, and it is easier to find the other party's flaws, but the priority is not as high as this.
Chu Ge improved his talent of "spiritedness" and began the trial.
Everything in the trial illusion started to move.
There was a young eunuch beside him to serve him personally, but there was no one else.
"What should I do now?
"Could it be... reviewing memorials?"
Chu Ge looked at the pile of memorials in front of him and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The reason why he chose the status of emperor was because he knew very well that this status was probably the most difficult of the four statuses.
In terms of age, Sheng Taizu was already in his old age at this time, which is the so-called "hero's twilight". And every hero's old age is the most difficult stage in life.
There are too many unfinished things to do, and too many supper parties taking the opportunity to cause chaos.
In terms of status, it is much more difficult to rule the world than to conquer the world.
The emperor played by Chu Ge is definitely not indulged in pleasure and enjoying the success, but the most dangerous final blow.
“At present, it seems that there is no necessary linear connection between different stages.
“That is to say, no matter whether the first three people have passed the level or not, I can play the fourth stage of the game normally.
“But we cannot rule out the possibility that if the first three perform well, the situation at the start of the fourth stage will be improved.
“It’s better to focus on this part of yourself first.
"Review the memorial.
“If we look at history, this is definitely not an easy job.
"I don't know if I can withstand it..."
As a student in the history department, Chu Ge was certainly not idle during this period and had been preparing historical materials related to Taizu Sheng.
There are clear records in history about the memorial.
Taizu Sheng once reviewed more than 1,100 memorials in eight days, involving more than 3,400 matters. If each memorial is calculated as 1,000 words, he would review more than 200,000 words and handle more than 400 things every day on average.
Of course, not all of these memorials need to be responded to in detail. Some can be left to the six ministries for processing, and only some of the most important ones require detailed approval.
And there is no need to go through too much red tape when approving. Taizu Sheng liked to use vernacular to approve memorials or issue imperial edicts.
For example, in the early years of the Great Sheng Dynasty, Dongyi bandits occasionally invaded. Taizu Sheng issued a very concise imperial edict to the soldiers and civilians in the southeast: "By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Tell the people to prepare their knives. These guys are coming. , kill me first. Thank you for this!"
What's more, the game "Ansha" itself has auxiliary mechanisms. Just like players do not need to imitate the ancients when talking to the ancients, there is no need to criticize memorials exactly in the way of the ancients.
As long as you do it right, the game mechanics will correct themselves.
Therefore, for Chu Ge, criticizing the memorial was actually not that difficult.
The key is to identify and filter out some key information from such a massive amount of information.
He took down a book from the pile of memorials and began to review them.
After flipping through it, Chu Ge found that the content of the memorial was quite clear and the matter was explained clearly. Moreover, the more difficult parts of the memorial will automatically be transformed into modern vernacular or expository styles in his mind, which undoubtedly further reduces the difficulty.
This is reasonable, after all, there are not many players like Chu Ge.
If players who haven't studied historical materials or don't even know many traditional Chinese characters challenge this level, wouldn't it be impossible to pass it? Definitely need to add some auxiliary measures.
It was only by the third book that it started to get a little irritating.
He writes thousands of words, digresses thousands of miles, and even trivial things have to be said over and over again.
This reminded Chu Ge of an interesting incident from the previous Dasheng Dynasty.
There was once a senior official of the Ministry of Punishment who presented a memorial. Sheng Taizu read more than 6,000 words and still didn't understand the reason. It was all empty talk. He read more than 16,000 words before getting to the main topic, and he said a total of five thing.
And these five things can basically be explained clearly in five hundred words.
So Sheng Taizu was furious and directly called the official to beat him up on the spot, and warned all other officials that future memorials could only state facts and not engage in such red tape.
As a result, the atmosphere in the entire officialdom was cleared.
Chu Ge once read this story as a joke, but now that it was his turn, he couldn't laugh anymore.
The memorial he read was already in a state of purge. It is really hard to imagine how lengthy and irritating the memorials that Taizu Sheng had seen before were.
Soon, it got dark, so I had to stay up late and read at night.
The little eunuch who was always waiting on him was obviously very used to this situation and was waiting quietly beside him.
Chu Ge was so dizzy from the pain that stars appeared in front of his eyes, and he finally finished approving all these memorials.
As a result, just when I was about to stand up and move around, everything in front of me changed rapidly.
There is a new pile of memorials.
It seems that a new day has arrived.
Chu Ge froze and was speechless.
