Epilogue: How can history books be taken seriously
"I brought a new friend to me today. This brother Li Xian, who came back from his own request, is also a fellow historical student."
There were more than ten people gathered in the private room of Huating's "Tanxiao Building", among whom the two who had just entered, the older one introduced them to everyone.
The young man bowed in his fists and said, "Hello, everyone, my surname is Li and his name is Wan, and I have met you all."
The people in the house were greeted and had a very friendly attitude. They were all history enthusiasts and would gather here every once in a while. Everyone would exchange some secrets of historians and discuss the gains and losses of history.
"I heard that you are going to discuss Ye Chang's affairs today. Later, I was not talented. I saw some historical records and materials in Liu Qiu. I saw some secrets that people don't know today. I would like to share with you." After everyone sat down and a waiter presented tea and snacks, Li Wan couldn't wait to say.
Due to its convenient geographical location, Huating is no longer the small county when it was first established, but is the leader of the entire Yangtze River Basin. Huating Port is also one of the most prosperous ports in the world today. Its cargo throughput exceeded Lushun Port, the largest port in the north twenty years ago, and even surpassed Guangzhou Port fifteen years ago. The prosperity of the economy also brought about cultural prosperity. Huating has twelve universities. Li Wan had inquired before that, all of whom were here were people with considerable influence in Huating. If they were recognized and recommended, he might be able to enter a certain university and spread the historical truth he had obtained into the classroom.
Everyone present looked at him with a smile. A little older than Li Wan said: "I don't know what historical records are there, and also the name Ye Gong. Even if you don't call him the wise ancestor or the sage, you should call him the King of Wei...
"You are brainwashed. That usurper and conspirator are considered to be the wise ancestor and holy clan. Even King Wei is not worthy of it," Li Wan said fiercely.
Everyone exchanged glances with each other, but no one said anything.
It has been sixty years since Ye Chang's death. The people's customs are open. Even those in power are still slandering, let alone those who have passed away sixty years.
"I don't agree with what Brother Li said. Mr. Ye did not claim to be emperor throughout his life. When he died, he was only the title of King Wei. The wise ancestor and the sage of the king of the two generations of kings. It would be too much to say that he was a conspirator of the usurper." There was one person who couldn't stand it. He was about the same age as Li Wan, but his speech was not as intense as Li Wan. His voice was gentle and his attitude was gentle.
"You are also brainwashed. His wife became the emperor, his son became the emperor, and his grandson was still the emperor. Now the lord of the Tang Dynasty is still his blood descendant. This is not usurpation of the throne. This is why Cao Cao never became emperor alive, but who can deny that Cao Cao was the usurper?"
Li Wan was not wrong in this regard. After being the queen for twenty-five years, Shouan abdicated in a conflict within the palace. She and Ye Chang's eldest son succeeded to the throne as the emperor.
"The person who holds this statement is also named Li, who comes from Liuqiu... You should be a descendant of the Li Tang royal family." The person who retorted Li Wan said with a smile.
"I... Although I am a descendant of the Li Tang royal family, what does this mean to me criticize Ye Chang as a usurper?"
"On the whole world, only the descendants of the Li Tang royal family would say that Ye Gong was the usurper at this time." The man smiled: "It's just that now, the three ancestors of Emperor Gaozu, Taizong and Xuanzong, are still in royal sacrifices. The descendants of the Li family have a favor. I wonder if the Yang family was the emperor, was still in the Taimiao, and did the Yang clan members still receive courtesy?"
These words made Li Wan blush.
If Ye Chang usurped the throne, then the throne of Emperor Gaozu of Tang was also taken from the orphans of the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty, which was the real usurpation of the throne. The Li family had always been suspicious of the Yang family. Even when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Li Longji, they still killed many people with the surname Yang on this ground. Although the current emperors already had the surname Ye, the country name was still named Tang. Several outstanding emperors of the Li family still enjoyed sacrifices in the Taimiao. Whether they were doing business or taking office, the descendants of the Li family were like the Ye family and did not have much restraint.
Even in the 25th year of Qianyuan, the descendants of the Li family who were unwilling to be restored under the secret planning of Li Mi, and to the point where the Queen of Shou'an abdicated, Ye Chang did not kill him, but instead treated him leniently on the grounds that he had not died or injured, exiled those involved in the conspiracy in the Li family.
"Li's exile and seek, Ye Gong was generous and kind, and nostalgic, which shows his old feelings." Humane said.
"You are still brainwashed. Where is Liuqiu? Overseas deserted islands, malaria, Ye Chang is like this, obviously with bad intentions..." Li Wan tried to continue attacking Ye Chang on this issue.
"No, although Liuqiu was an exile place, there were four waves of people pouring into Liuqiu during the time of Ye Gong. The first was the gold hunting heat. That time, more than 10,000 people poured into Liuqiu to find gold; the second time was when Liuqiu was set up a mansion, about 30,000 people entered Liuqiu; the third time was to build a rubber garden in Liuqiu, and there were 80,000 people pouring into Liuqiu. The fourth time was the most recent time, Liuqiu established a county seat, and more than 40,000 people entered Liuqiu. In addition, the natural population grew and the exiled prisoners, in the 25th year of Qianyuan, Liuqiu's registered population had been more than 300,000, which was more than the number of people in Qianzhong Taoism during the Kaiyuan period." The person who argued with Li Wan said: "When Li entered Liuqiu, Liuqiu was no longer a wild place. Oh, the data I quoted just now can be seen in the article "The Change of the Population of the Tang Dynasty". The author was Liu Zongyuan."
Li Wan didn't expect that the other party could easily get detailed data, and for a moment, he couldn't help but feel silent.
Among the people present, there were those who laughed kindly and those who showed an unhappy expression. After a pause, Li Wan remembered something and sneered: "No matter how many reasons are, it cannot be changed that the fact that Ye Chang is a thief of the people.
"This is strange. In the 40th year of Ye Gong's rule, he invited himself to go to the prime minister from the first year of Qianyuan to the forty years of Qianyuan. In the past forty years, the population of the Tang Dynasty increased from 90 million to 210 million. The territory reached north to northern Hainan and Zhanbharat, Silla, Bohai and Tufan all offered land to support the people. The average life expectancy of the people increased to 59 years. In the 30th year of Qianyuan, five-year primary education was popularized. Each population was 200,000, and there was a hospital and a middle school..." The debater with Li Wan was drawn out again, and the last said: "If the thief of the people was like this, I really don't know what the saints would look like in ancient times... Oh, by the way, Gaozu, Taizong and Xuanzong, weren't even as good as the thiefs in the people?"
"Hmph, after all, you're just fooled by the numbers fabricated by the court. How could there be so much growth? Besides, even if there is some growth, it's just an increase in wealth caused by the natural population growth. What's the difference between him and Ye Chang? I only know that he is rich in the world, and half of the world's wealth belongs to his private pockets. At that time, he clearly made glass, but deceived himself and came to the country. Such a scam method, even officials can't hide it. You can't even cleanse him?" Li Wan retorted: "What this person who cheated and cheated must be to deceive people."
"What you said about glass is a fact, and Mr. Ye is rich in the world is a fact." This time it was not the young man who came forward to argue with him, but another older man probably disliked Li Wan's appearance. He said slowly: "But you forgot that Mr. Ye did not hide these wealth, but took it from the people for the people. The hospitals and colleges that Gu Xiandi mentioned just now came from here. In addition, the Tang Dynasty's three verticals, three horizontals, and six railways were dominated by the road, and their funds also came from here. The rest were built on bridges and roads, and the elderly and orphans were nurtured, and even more.
Many of them come from this. Oh, I remember that fifteen years ago, Mr. Ye formulated a twenty-year literacy plan and decided to spend twenty years to make adult people, both men and women, able to calculate literacy. This expenditure also comes from this. In addition, since the second year of Qianyuan, Mr. Ye has been constantly state-owned his own industries. Basically, he has made every industry bigger and he has dedicated it to the treasury. Now, Andong Steel, Lushun Ship, Lingnan Sugar Industry, Sihai Ship, Beihai Machinery, Huaxia Weaving, and Andong Bank. These industries are donated to the country by Mr. Ye.”
"These were originally the country, and Ye Chang stole the benefits of his losses for decades..."
Li Wan also wanted to argue strongly. Seeing everyone's sarcastic look on their faces, she knew that if she continued to argue about this issue, it would be unreasonable and not very meaningful. The people here, including himself, were actually very clear that Ye Chang could donate his wealth that was as rich as a country, rather than leaving it all for his descendants. This great spirit was hard to match even the ancient saints.
He thought about it and could not do it without knowing it.
"What you read is all official propaganda, but it is actually for brainwashing. If you want to know the truth, you can only find out the truth of those historians with conscience, and from them, you will know how profound Ye Chang's plan is and how far-reaching he is. I have this book, and I suggest you go and read it. "Notes Not Like Smoke - Memoirs of the Prince of Wei's Spy Recruitment". The author of this article is a secret spy planted by Ye Chang in Chang'an. He was under Ye Chang's hawk and dog, and Bian Ping, who had slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Japan. He personally planned to provoke the Li Heng, An Lushan Rebellion, and the rebellion of the deposed emperor Li Qi - the rebellion of these people was all planned by Ye Chang behind the scenes. When he first entered Chang'an at the age of more than ten, he killed the manager of the princess's mansion at that time."
Li Wan spoke enthusiastically, stood up and danced with great excitement, as if she had discovered some important historical truth. But he found that his enthusiasm only brought about a cold incident. He talked endlessly for a while, but no one responded.
He pulled him the friend he brought and signaled him not to say anything more.
Li Wan felt that he could finally shock everyone and was reluctant to stop. If he wanted to use these people to invade the Huating historical community at first, then now he already felt that these people were "brainwashed" too much and needed him, a person who knew the truth, to give advice.
"Everyone, you should read more, don't just read the historical materials given to you by the official. Those things are all fake. Only by reading more can you reveal these lies, discover the truth of history, and not bewitched by others."
"Well, when it comes to historical fraud, Emperor Taizong looked at daily notes and made a very bad note. However, Mr. Ye, although he organized the people to compile a history, he had never asked about daily notes, right?" The man who argued with Li Wan coughed gently.
"You... don't turn around. We are talking about the historical truth revealed in this book. It's not Emperor Taizong, and it has nothing to do with Emperor Taizong," Li Wan said angrily.
"You mean "Not necessarily like smoke - Memoirs of the Secret Spy of King Wei's Personal Spy", written by Lu Qi, right?" The person who argued with him said with a smile: "Sorry, I have read this book, and I have also read "From the Fisherman to the Secret Spy - Biography of Bian Ping", "The Autobiography of Du Honglu", "The Dream of Chang'an", and "The Most Important Book of the Decades of Decades" (Singing Night in the Prosperity of Tang Dynasty), and all the explanations for Lu Qi. This person is not Ye Gong's secret spy at all, but he is Ye Gong's political enemy. The so-called secret spy is just the words he used to paint himself after Ye Gong was in power. By the way, this person also has a book called "The Book of the Supreme Saint Propaganda", but his pseudonym is Lu Muzi, and his pseudonym for Ye Gong was so slutty that he could not compare to the official propaganda.
The man even said a few books he said were unpopular, but Li Wan generally knew that Bian Ping was the leader of Ye Chang's early secret spy, and later sent to Japan. During the 18th year of Qianyuan, he brought people to burn the Japanese Pingjing, and slaughtered a lot. More than 200,000 people in Pingjing, and more than 10,000 people died. Most of the rest were also sent to mine slaves. Now Japan has long disappeared and has become the four provinces of Haidongdao. There were many concealment in the war in history.
As for Du Honglu's autobiography, it is a memoir of Du Fu's personal later years, recording his relationship with Ye Chang, Li Bai, Gao Shi, Cen Shen and others, especially some major historical events from the Tianbao to the Qianyuan period, such as Ye Chang's rise in Liaodong, the civil unrest in the 14th year of Tianbao, and the rebellion and defeat of Li Heng and An Lushan in the 15th year of Tianbao. Because of Du Fu's identity, many things are first-hand historical materials and are also considered by many historical enthusiasts to be trusted in history.
Li Wan has never watched "Chang'an Menghualu", but he watched "Singing Night in the Tang Dynasty", but unfortunately he felt ordinary. Seeing that the historical truth he exposed was something the other party had known for a long time, he couldn't help but say, "You are brainwashed, so you don't believe in Lu Qi... Not to mention anything else, Ye Chang's private life was very unpredictable. In his early years, in order to seek wealth, he married the treacherous minister Li Linfu. Later, Fu Hao changed his wife and abandoned Li Linfu's daughter. His behavior was disgusting."
Everyone looked a little strange. They always talked to Li Wan to the debater, and they couldn't say anything when they mentioned this matter. After a while, someone slowly said: "Everyone knows that Feng came from Lushun. My family has been in Lushun for several generations. There is one thing that has never been told to everyone that my great-grandfather once and for the time he married my great-grandmother, she was a noble Khitan daughter, so he left the military post. He once said that when King Wei was in his prime, he had to go back to Liaodong once or twice a year, not only to see his rise, but to a large extent he went to see his ex-wife who had been separated from him. I vaguely remember that the great-grandfather Zengyan, now one of the ten richest families in the Tang Dynasty, is behind King Wei and his ex-wife."
The news of "Liaodong Wei Family" surprised everyone.
Li Wan blushed: "Nonsense, you are nonsense. Ye Chang and his ex-wife clearly have no descendants in history books. They have no descendants and are separated from each other."
Everyone looked at him and said in unison: "You have been brainwashed, how can you believe in history books?"
