I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 94 The Longest Testimonial in History

Chapter 94 The Longest Testimonial in History
Yes ~
After bumps and bumps, I finally waited for this day.

It will be put on the shelves, and the exact time is still uncertain. It may be 0:00 am on the first day, or it may be 12:00 noon on the first day. It depends on how the editor notifies you. Twelve o'clock in the evening.

I'm afraid that the elders will not know in advance, so I will send a testimonial in advance, and hope that the elders can subscribe for a wave of support.

Speaking of which, this can be regarded as the first book I wrote seriously at the starting point.

In the past few years, I have been wandering in small stations outside, and I have seen all the ups and downs and ups and downs of the novel world.

It can be said that it was a wandering, but it didn't make a name for itself;
It is said that he eats this bowl of rice, but he has never had a full meal by writing books.

And the starting point has always been a very sacred existence in my heart, especially the history column of the starting point, which I regard as the solemnity that "the idlers should not touch easily".

Therefore, when I was in an uneasy mood, like the vulgar saying, "return to the original starting point", my attitude towards this book "I'm Really Not King Jing of Zhongshan" was extremely rigorous and serious. .

Maybe it's my concept, still stuck in a few years ago, the stereotype of the starting point history reader group;

Or I have been away for too long, and I no longer have an understanding of the history of the starting point, which has led to a lot of content that I think "readers of the starting point will definitely understand", which has caused troubles for some readers in the past month or so .

But even so, I am still willing to believe that the starting point historical readers I know are not my imagination, but real existence.

This group knows what is "the day when Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, when Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp us". Specifically in this book, it is "the day when Liu Zhi was young and immature, and when Wang Zhi hid in the deep palace silently".

——History should not be result-only, but should have a development process and a special product corresponding to a specific historical period.

The Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history is indeed the pride of the Chinese nation and a rare hero in Qing history;

But in the historical timeline in the book, the legendary Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, is indeed an unweaned baby.

The deposed prince Liu Rong in history may really be a worthless idiot, a more unbearable existence than the son Fusu, Xiaohui Liu Ying, and the cruel prince Liu Shi;

But in the timeline in the book, Liu Rong is the sure prince-to-be.

As for the protagonist as a time traveler, why didn't he immediately go to Liu Che and Wang Zhi to hold his thighs, but fight wits and courage with Liu Rong and Li Ji, mother and son who are bound to be destroyed, which is exactly what I want to express above. One point, which is also the overall idea of ​​​​my opening part:

——The protagonist has no intention of taking the initiative to seize the heir, and the existence of the protagonist does not affect the big historical trend. It is just that the protagonist exerts influence intentionally or unintentionally, which makes the history "reasonable" shift to a certain extent.

For example, Empress Dou likes the protagonist;

For example, Shen Tujia is not dead;

And in the end, Liu Rong was still deposed as the crown prince, while Emperor Jing's new crown prince became the protagonist Liu Sheng.

In this process, I want to analyze this story for you through the perspective of the protagonist, who is clearly a time traveler, but does not have a deep understanding of specific historical events, and who obviously came from later generations but grew up in a deep palace What happened in the Han Dynasty in a few years.What kind of harvest and growth did the protagonist gain from these events.

In other words, what I want to bring to you is not 'I know Liu Zhi will become the Emperor of Han Wu in the future, so I will try my best to fight wits and courage with my one-year-old brother Liu Zhi', but to let The protagonist tries to integrate into that era as much as possible, bringing you the most authentic and enjoyable immersive experience.

The reason for this arrangement is also very simple: the barren land that is the subject of historical web articles, the Western Han Dynasty, is very cold.

It has to be admitted that quite a few readers are well aware of every historical event written in the article, and even have extremely unique insights;

But it is also undeniable that even the readers of the history column of the starting point, there are still quite a few people who are not very familiar with this dynasty.

Especially for events that happened during the non-Gaozu and Han Wu years, most of the readers' cognition is still at the level of "I have heard of this person's name, and through this person's name, I can think of a general historical event."

——such as chess master Liu Qi and the like;

It’s also like the opening part, where the protagonist’s mother, Mrs. Jia, was traveling with Emperor Jing, and met a wild boar on the road. This is clearly a historical event recorded in official history, but some readers accused me of saying: Can you stop making it up?How could the emperor encounter a wild boar when he was traveling?

Later, when I wrote about the Ancestral Temple, many senior readers with more than ten years of age jumped out and accused me of "distorting historical figures and discrediting Emperor Jing Liu Qi".

So next, I will focus on answering the doubts in my heart for the great fathers.
-
Dividing line---
The protagonist is a time traveler, why doesn't he understand history?
——Because the protagonist of the web article is the reader’s own perspective, since most readers don’t understand this history, then I think the protagonist should also be consistent with the readers, and together with the protagonist, go to understand this history a little bit.

Of course, there are also many excellent readers who are already very familiar with this period of history;
But what I am trying to do is to let this part of the readers who understand this period of history still not feel that what I have written is boring, even if I am only restoring the historical scene, and quietly making the protagonist Liu Sheng the variable Mix it in.

What I want to write is not a routine historical novel, but a less common traditional historical web essay.

Why are many of the characters you write about different from those recorded in history books?
——This is because history books cherish words like gold, and many things will not be recorded in too much detail, and there will be many factors that cause historical records to be "cut down";
So what I am doing is to restore a grand historical scene through the few figures in the history books, and present it in front of the readers.

Also, I will also focus on replying to some readers who questioned me about distorting historical figures.

Regarding Liu Qi, I think my description should be more than [-]% similar to the historical Emperor Jing. Even Liu Qi's lines, I tried to use the content of historical records, but in the process of description, I filled in a little. Added some artistic processing.

As for Li Ji, Cheng Ji, Mrs. Jia, Queen Dowager Dou, and Shen Tujia, Chao Cuo, Zhidu and others, they basically followed the historical records to restore the characters.

Among the nine princes other than Liu Che, the stuttering fourth eldest Liu Yu, the muscular fifth Liu Fei, the invisible sixth Liu Fa, the witty seventh Liu Pengzu, and the hermaphrodite eighth Liu Duan are all recorded in historical records. prevail.

If there is something that is not in place, it can only be attributed to my lack of writing skills, and I am here to apologize to the elders.

The second child Liu De who is good at writing, and the third child who is an otaku, Liu Yu, were set by me as "in order to help the eldest brother Liu Rong, deliberately set up a confusing character". This is an artistic process, I hope everyone understands In real history, this possibility cannot be said to exist).

For the remaining protagonists, Liu Sheng and the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong, there is no need to say more about the protagonists. After all, they are time travelers. Naturally, the character design does not need to follow the history, but in the later stage, it will try to fit the real historical records as much as possible, but will not completely follow them blindly. , everything is subject to the needs of the plot.

And Liu Rong is a character I want to highlight.

When I wrote about Liu Rong's "not very useless" content, many readers expressed extreme incomprehension;
——Liu Rong really has this ability, can he be deposed as a prince in history?
——People who can be scared to commit suicide have the ability to fart!
This may be the comment area with the most frequent comments.

As for this point, what I want to say is: In the history books, there has never been a single word that mentioned that Liu Rong was "worthless" and "not worthy of the crown prince";
Regarding Liu Rong's deposed prince, the only reason mentioned in the history books is Li Ji's "old dog", which is the "not rude" in the official history.

Therefore, my understanding of the character Liu Rong may be slightly different from yours.

In my opinion, as the eldest son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty Liu Qi, Liu Rong was trained according to the standards of princes and princes, even if he was not trained according to the standards of princes.

Under such training efforts, no matter how unbearable Liu Rong is, he should at least be a 'middleman', not a worthless idiot.

Combined with the history books, there are almost no negative records about the deposed prince. His Highness, the deposed prince, should be a not outstanding, but at least barely qualified candidate for the crown prince.

After all, until Li Ji's "old dog" yelled out, Emperor Jing Liu Qi had no idea of ​​moving Yi Chu, and even almost passed the throne to Liu Rong;
After Liu Rong's position as prince was abolished, the prince Taifu Dou Ying and Taiwei Zhou Yafu also expressed strong dissatisfaction.

Although the actions of these two people are more likely to be "Dou Ying does not want the prince he educated to be abolished, and Zhou Yafu wants to maintain the eldest son inheritance system", but from the side, this is enough to prove that no matter how bad Liu Rong is, he will definitely Not much worse, at least to the extent of 'barely making do'.

In addition, there is another point that cannot be ignored: Liu Rong is not young;
According to the calculations based on the ages of Emperor Jing Liu Qi and several other princes, Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, should have been born between the ages of 15 and 17, and the point in the article is close to adulthood.

In the feudal era, an adult heir and a six-year-old heir were two very different options.

The only problem with Liu Rong is: the existence of Li Ji caused Liu Rong to lose the position of prince, and because the later prince Liu Che was too young, Liu Rong posed too great a threat to Liu Che;
Coupled with Li Ji's 'old dog', Liu Qi hated Wu Jiwu, so he had no choice but to kill and depose the prince Liu Rong, paving the way for the later Emperor Wu of Han.

Why do you say that?

——Because Liu Rong was abolished as the prince, Zhou Yafu was also included;

As for Zhou Yafu's death, Emperor Jing Liu Qi's evaluation was: This distraught person is not a minister of the young master.

This can show that after the abolition of Liu Rong, everything that Emperor Jing did was basically paving the way for the young Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so as to avoid the future Han Dynasty's suspicion of being the master of the country.

As for "Linjiang King Liu Rong destroyed the walls of the Taimiao", I think there is a high probability that Emperor Jing wanted to commit a crime - destroying the walls of the ancestors and using them to blame others. Liu Qi has this criminal record;

In the end, the cause of Liu Rong's death: he committed suicide in the Lieutenant's Mansion out of fear, which made it hard for me to resist the urge to quote a proverb.

——A person who is not even afraid of death, what else is afraid of?
Even if Liu Rong is the abolished crown prince, he is still a relative of the Liu family. What in the world can make Liu Rong commit suicide on the spot?

Therefore, I think the real situation is more likely to be: Lieutenant Zhi went to Liu Rong, had in-depth communication with Liu Rong, and relayed the will of the emperor Liu Qi on his behalf, and finally persuaded Liu Rong to follow the political traditions and conventions of the time. The social ethos is 'self-retaining dignity'.

That is to say: Liu Rong's death was not a "suicide by fright", but knowing that he would die, so he simply came by himself and kept the last bit of decency.

As for Tai Shigong's description of it as "scared to commit suicide", there is a high probability that Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne, making "Black Liu Rong" zz correct.

Later, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he forced Liu De, king of Hejian Xian, to death with a sentence of "Wang Zituzhi". It can also be seen that "elimination of the three princes born to Li Ji" was a political need in the same line from Emperor Jing to Emperor Wu. Liu Yan, the king of Jiang AI, died early in the reign of Emperor Jing and died of no heirs).

Summary In a nutshell, my understanding of the character Liu Rong has already been mentioned in the introduction: Poor Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor.

A poor man who wasn't very good, but at least reached the passing line, but was killed by his old lady in the end.

And this also corresponds to my deliberate downplaying of Liu Che, Wang Zhi, mother and son in the opening part-compared with the innate advantage of "sit on half of the buttocks" and is already close to adulthood, the eldest son of the emperor Liu Rong , at this point in time, Liu Che, Wang Zhi, mother and son, really have no competitiveness...
Perhaps in the eyes of many readers, Liu Che, Wang Zhi, mother and son are the final victors from the perspective of God;
Liu Che is the famous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Wang Zhi is the famous Queen Xiaojing;

But what I want to say is: Before Liu Rong and Li Ji's mother and son fell, Liu Che and Wang Zhi's mother and son were really nothing.

If it weren't for the existence of Li Ji, the best, and even without that "old dog", it would be almost impossible for the tenth son of Emperor Jing Liu Che in history to become Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but only Liu Zhi, the x king of Jiaodong.

This is my opinion and understanding of the main characters currently appearing in this book;

For the historical figures who appear later, the Metropolis will use historical records as the standard, and appropriate and reasonable artistic processing will be carried out as appropriate.

That's about all I have to say about the content.

Dividing line---
Still have to say, it's a pity.

The first painstaking work after returning to the starting point, it was only a little bit short of going to Sanjiang, but in the end it still missed.

But I wasn't discouraged either.

After all, three years ago, I was still a collector of 14 and subscribed to 24. The monthly manuscript fee even reached a huge sum of 5 yuan;
And now, when I come back from my adventures, although it is not a great achievement, it can be regarded as my first glimpse - this book has nearly 1000 collections, thousands of follow-ups, and the probability is that it will start with close to [-] subscriptions.

After years of traveling abroad, I have made great progress in my temperament, patience, and writing skills. The creation accumulation of nearly 700 million words is enough to support me to complete such a novel with millions of words.

It can’t be said that I am complacent, but at least I have the necessary confidence to live up to the trust of more than 1000 paying readers.

Now that it is going to be on the shelves, it is inevitable to talk about updates.

The original plan was to save manuscripts for the new book period and release them when they were on the shelves. However, due to various reasons and force majeure events, the new book period was very ups and downs, and the news of the shelves was also quite sudden-I only learned about it the day before yesterday.

So I specifically asked some seniors who have been working hard at the starting point for many years, and the advice I got is: the default 10 update is on the shelves.

I calculated, 10 more, 2000 words per chapter, that is 20000 words;
So on the first day, that is, after the launch of the VIP chapter at twelve o'clock tonight, I will issue the first VIP chapter, and tomorrow afternoon I will issue the other three chapters, each with 5000 words, for a total of 20000 words.

Ten updates of 2000 words and four updates of 10 words are the same thing, right?
Anyway, it is 20000 words.

As for after it is put on the shelves, the number of chapters will be unified to 5000 words per chapter. I feel comfortable writing it, and everyone is happy watching it.

In terms of the amount of updates, by default, two chapters are updated every day, with a total of 10000 words, and updates will be added from time to time depending on the specific situation.

For example, one day, when I finished posting two chapters, but felt that there was a broken chapter, which made readers unhappy, I would most likely add another chapter to make them feel at ease.

Another example is that on a certain day, when I write an extra chapter, there is a high probability that I will publish it, so that everyone can feast their eyes.

If you add updates, the initial target is 1000, and every 100 higher will add one update;
The leader rewards and adds 3 updates;
Long-term update rules: every 50 increase in the average order plus one update, there is no upper limit;

For every [-] monthly pass, two changes will be added on the [-]st of the next month.

Having said so much, in the end, it is still the old saying: writing is not easy, and originality is not easy.

I hope that everyone will support me genuinely, so that I, a rookie who is about to show off, can embark on the broad road of full-time coding as soon as possible.

Call ~
Nearly two months of materials, document preparation, and a month and a half of the new book issue, the success or failure depends on the trembling of the shelves;
