Chapter 164: Talking about Middle-earth History by Snow Wolf Lake

Tan Xiaopei asked, and Li Sishu, the chief supervisor who was attending the side, bowed and replied, "A part of it was sent to you the day before yesterday, and it was still proofread by Lord Situ Huang. Will Your Majesty send someone to get it?"

Tan Xiaopei frowned and said, "I really want to see it, go and get it... I just circulated Huang Xuping to meet him."

Li Sishu bowed and responded, turned to instruct the people below to do this.

If you want to say the book Ye Tao is writing, this statement is no longer correct. Ye Tao does not have the time or time to write books. Every night he will take about an hour to discuss his views on some historical events and Feng Zi. Feng Zi, who never forgets, can always point out Ye Tao's mistakes in mastering historical materials and biases of some views. Especially some views, if the two cannot unify them, Feng Zi will mostly write based on Ye Tao's views, and supplement his opinions in the form of annotations. Since there is no large enough library on Thunder Cliff, even if the two have reached a consensus, they will still find ways to verify the materials. When it comes to history, the most authoritative person in the court is Lord Huang Xuping, who is well-versed in ancient and modern times. In addition, he has a good relationship with Ye Tao, Huang Xuping can always get the draft of each chapter as soon as possible and review it.

Ye Taokong has his own opinions, and his mastery of historical materials depends on various not-so-deep books in this time and space, so there are naturally many places that are easy to be attacked. Although Feng Zi has a super memory that he can never forget, he is limited to his experience and age. Due to the limited historical materials he has read, he is also unavoidably biased. Huang Xuping has a very profound foundation in historical materials and argumentation, and has his own opinions on historical events. With the round-trip of the manuscript, he was unbearable. He also joined the discussion circle and put forward his own opinions on the summary and sorting of historical materials of this strange historical book, historical research methods, and various views.

Since it is a form of letters, the exchange time is relatively long, and both sides have time to brew and reflect. Compared with the manuscripts that have been continuously improved, these correspondences are not weak at all. Especially Huang Xuping and Ye Tao, Feng Zi are different. Ye Tao has only handled some government affairs at most. Feng Zi only shared some of the government affairs in Ye Tao at most. However, as the Situ of Dongping, Huang Xuping has not moved in this position for many years. He is a very stable and hard-core official, but has real experience and lessons in governing the country. Ye Tao's manuscripts that combine the perspective of major historical views through comparative historical methods have become more guiding due to Huang Xuping's addition.

Ye Tao didn't know that after he and Huang Xuping communicated several times over the manuscript issues, correspondence became a reading material that Tan Xiaopei was looking forward to. Even Tan Xiaopei had some of his ideas conveyed to Ye Tao in the letter, wanting to get involved in this discussion. He was naturally worried that Ye Tao would be concerned about his identity as the king of the country and accepted his views too easily. But if he knew that Ye Tao had no concerns about him at all, it would be even worse.

In the manuscript that has been preliminarily decided, the core content is the various ideas he once stated in the Political Consultative Hall about the unified country. Ye Tao first completed this part because he thought deeply about this part of the content... In fact, he had rich ideas in this aspect that he could learn from. In addition, it was also because Ye Tao did not understand what the organizational form of this manuscript should look like. After all, he is not a historian. He knows a little bit more historical ground and has read some books with "big history" views, but he cannot master the methods of historical research. He and Feng Zi usually raise a topic, and then start to state, discuss, enrich. Preparation and then think about how to organize the book after enough content. Ye Tao himself couldn't help but wonder how to copy the concept of great history, even the title of "Talking about Chinese History by the Hexun River". However, talking about the history of Middle-earth by the Xuelang Lake sounds more romantic.

After talking about the unified country, the core issues of discussion turned to the historical research method itself. Ye Tao, Feng Zi, and Huang Xuping, who later joined, began to discuss the functions and roles of historical research, and discuss the patterns that are constantly reappearing in historical changes. Especially recently, the discussions are all kinds of models. There are patterns in the form of domination, state institutions have patterns, rebellion, and the collapse of the country also have patterns. It is really a creepy feeling to connect the reappearance of the same patterns together. However, this method is indeed an analysis of what has not been revealed by previous generations, which makes Tan Xiaopei more and more looking forward to it.

Huang Xuping came soon after, with the manuscript. By the way, he brought Ye Tao with a reply to his last comment. As the content of the discussion became more and more extensive, in fact, both Ye Tao, Feng Zi, and Huang Xuping themselves faced the problem of increasingly inadequate grasp of the materials. The discussion on the model seemed a bit inexplicable, but the views were still very interesting.

Perhaps because he knew that Tan Xiaopei would read these things carefully, Huang Xuping even asked someone to send him the official documents he needed to deal with. While Tan Xiaopei was quietly reading the new manuscripts and letters, he sat in a corner of the imperial study room, holding the official documents and reviewing them bit by bit.

After a long time, Tan Xiaopei cleared his throat and asked, "Huang Qing family, what do you think?"

Huang Xuping smiled and asked back, "What do you think? If you want to talk about the contents of taboos, your Majesty is used to it now."

Tan Xiaopei laughed. The view that the manuscript attributes part of the governance of the country to the game between imperial power and other rights is indeed taboo. But it reveals the true meaning of ruling the country in one sentence. Ye Tao's ability to have such insights seems to be far beyond his craftsmanship and has always been in the ranks of technicians. But this is exactly what Tan Xiaopei hopes. He hopes that Ye Tao is a minister of Wang Zuo who can decisively combine the strength and unification of Dongping.

Tan Xiaopei put down the documents in his hand and said, "If these things are spread, they will probably really cause an uproar. At least, he has to move two more people up on the assassination list of Daomingzong." Tan Xiaopei's joke was a little cold, but it did reveal the value of Ye Tao. It's strange that the ranking of Daomingzong's assassination list really has an extremely accurate judgment on the characters' abilities, influence and potential. The monthly update of the assassination list has become something that many people are looking forward to.

Huang Xuping chuckled and said, "If it weren't for Ye Tao, I'm afraid I would have to ask Your Majesty for personal favors and call him back to concentrate on completing this book. Even if it can't be made public, the value of the manuscript is still there."

Tan Xiaopei nodded and said, "Now it seems that Feng Zi is really a talented person. This madman doesn't need to have such a good family background, but he just follows Ye Tao as a subordinate. It's really interesting."

Huang Xuping said: "Your Majesty, are there few interesting people around Ye Tao? He is now surrounded by two teams, one secretary group and the other design group, and there are many interesting people in it."

Tan Xiaopei sighed and said, "Look at what Ye Tao has been doing recently. He can do such complicated things with his few rights and funds. Starting from planning the Yunzhou Development Fund, he has made various arrangements step by step. Although there are many coincidences and other people's help, he is always on the ground. He is always imaginative but not without any care. This kind of delusion and ability to take advantage of the situation is really rare. The design he mentioned, as well as the logos of Yunzhou, is really wonderful."

Huang Xuping said: "Your Majesty. You see, all the things Ye Tao has done before and after, actually have a certain pattern. He knows the power of publicity and knows how to put his figure in the lower world. He always puts preparations in front of him. He puts training talents in an important position, and does not cherish them... But his status is higher and his friends are wider, and there are more methods to use, and the natural effect is better. He finds a pattern for history, but he himself has a pattern."

Tan Xiaopei nodded and said, "Model is not a bad thing. Especially as he goes along, there are thousands of ways to change the same model. This is his strength. A Luqiaoshi... is probably the most capable local department in the entire Dongping and even the entire Zhongtu. It's so interesting."

After walking back and forth in the imperial study for several times, Tan Xiaopei said to Huang Xuping: "I want to transfer Ye Tao back. No matter how criticized the court in the court, if I support him, I believe he will definitely be able to show his talents."

Huang Xuping bowed and said, "Your Majesty, that's right, I beg Your Majesty to think twice at that time. What can he do when he transfers Ye Tao back to the center? What position will His Majesty give him? What will he do? If the position is high, everyone will not accept it. The chances of quarrel in the future may be more than his chances of doing things. If the position is lower, it will be difficult to show his strength. Ye Tao is a practical person. Didn't Your Majesty find out when did he perform well? "

Seeing Huang Xuping's irritating appetite, Tan Xiaopei was not very angry. He laughed openly and said, "Huang Qing's family, this is another one."

Huang Xuping no longer covered up and said, "Your Majesty gives him a job with real power and assigns some things to do, and he has a goal. For him, it seems that it is never difficult to complete these jobs. Naturally, he has a lot of idle time to think about it, and he has power and ideas. He will do something that can be practiced. Even if it is to get bored, he will do it. Don't Your Majesty think that using Ye Tao is more interesting?"

Tan Xiaopei thought for a while and felt that what Huang Xuping said was really reasonable. He touched his chin and said, "It is worth considering which position to find him to be placed."

Huang Xuping added: "Your Majesty, it's a good idea to recall Ye Tao. The manuscript is already a bit inexplicable, and I'm afraid Ye Tao and Feng Zi are also unsustainable. Your Majesty might as well recall Ye Tao and let him express his ideas directly. As for the manuscript, you might as well find some reliable scholars and students of the Imperial College to enrich it. As long as you can uphold Ye Tao's ideas, the meaning of this manuscript will be achieved... In addition, you can also help people remove the contents of the taboos in the book, so as not to cause trouble for Ye Tao in the future. It is normal for Your Majesty to love his daughter and take care of his son-in-law at the same time."

Tan Xiaopei thought this was a good idea, so he immediately wrote a letter and summoned Ye Tao to meet him. From Danyang to Thunder Cliff, it would take at least two days to pass the letter from Feiying. It would take at least half a month later that Ye Tao was desperately rushing to the road. But Feiying returned to Danyang six days later, which brought about the result that no one in Danyang had expected: Ye Tao was not at Leiting Cliff at all, and he was not even within Yunzhou now.

Since the training of the Leiyin Demon Sect is relatively smooth, in order to make the Leiyin Demon Sect start in Xiling more smoothly, Ye Tao sent all the qualified students over. Because everyone lacks understanding of religion, there are always various problems in communication and persuasion, and the situation reported from Li's Castle does not seem very optimistic. As the training officer of these people, Ye Tao finally made up his mind to go to Xiling to see what the problem lies. According to Ye Tao, this time he will lead the team to "internship".
