After buying the weapons, Lampard's life became as peaceful as before, and Liu Pei resumed his old life. But the difference was that he finally found a new direction.

In more than a year, Liu Pei went to the Ming Dynasty three times. This made him a little interested in the history of the Ming Dynasty. So when he had nothing to do, he also started to read some books about the history of the Ming Dynasty.

.

But as soon as he read the book, he became more motivated to learn. But there were so many historical materials, how could he read them all and find them? So sometimes he would post online to look for some answers.

Slowly, from the various answers, he discovered that the answer given to him by a person named Xijiang Mingyue was particularly accurate and detailed. From now on, Liu Pei asked for advice more often, and the two of them became familiar with each other, and even on the Internet, they were half

We are friends. Later, if you have any questions, Liu Pei will contact you as soon as possible.

It’s Xijiang Mingyue. And Xijiang Mingyue can always give him satisfactory answers. Xijiang Mingyue is very knowledgeable, and his answers always include citations and detailed arguments. He can even tell which historical materials each of his words comes from.

Which chapter and section of this book! Liu Pei was amazed by this ability.

The two people are getting in touch more and more, and the relative sentences are getting closer and closer. Now if Liu Pei has any questions, she no longer posts online, but directly sends emails to Xijiang Mingyue or chats directly on QQ. Once the two of them

When people were chatting, the topics of their ages and occupations came up.

Needless to say, Xijiang Mingyue, Liu Pei immediately guessed that he was an old history expert. He must be an old professor after all. After he told the answer, Xijiang Mingyue was very calm and admitted that he had basically guessed it right.

.And the best thing is that Xijiang Mingyue is also from Shanghai.

Xijiang Mingyue was wrong when he guessed Liu Pei. He thought that a person who had free time to study the history of the Ming Dynasty must have been working for a long time and had a relatively leisurely life. He guessed that Liu Pei should be a middle-aged man with a professional career.

It should be a civil servant or a teacher.

Liu Pei stared at the screen and laughed when he saw its guess. He thought that since they have known each other for so long, it would be okay to meet him. After all, he answered so many of his questions, and he should thank him. And after meeting him, he would definitely

He would be familiar with him, and it would be easier to ask for advice on some things. So he proposed to meet him and see if Xijiang Mingyue could recognize him directly.

Xijiang Mingyue was also very interested in this proposal. So the two agreed to meet at a book mall tomorrow.

The next morning, Liu Pei deliberately put on his old clothes and arrived at the book mall early. He also pretended to pick up a college chemistry book to read. He held the book in his hand, but his eyes were always staring at the book coming up the stairs.

Everyone.

After a while, a person finally came up the stairs. Liu Pei thought that this person was probably Xijiang Mingyue. Because the person's appearance was very similar to what he had guessed, and he looked like an intellectual.

This man is not tall and thin. The hair on his head is already mottled with black and white and is combed into a three-quarter length. His face looks very bookish, and he looks like a scholar at first glance. He has a ruddy complexion, which means he probably lives in a good living environment and is pampered. The most important thing is

What's strange is that this person's eyes began to scan the person's face as soon as he came up, unlike other people who first looked at the bookshelf when they came up.

Seeing that he was about to see her, Liu Pei hurriedly lowered his eyes and stared at the book in his hand, pretending to turn a page. The man slowly walked around in the crowd, constantly looking at everyone.

Liu Pei walked over in front of him. Liu Pei held back a smile and looked at the pair of leather shoes as he passed by without looking up.

After a while, the pair of leather shoes stopped in front of Liu Pei. Liu Pei pretended to ignore him and deliberately turned a page of the book. Then he heard a voice from the other side saying: "Mountain doll, is it you?"

"

Liu Pei knew he couldn't hide anymore, so he looked up with a smile and said, "It's me. Xijiang Mingyue, how did you recognize me?"

Xijiang Mingyue laughed in a low voice, sat next to him, and said: "I did guess wrong at first, thinking that you were a middle-aged man with a lot of free time. But just now I walked around this floor.

I found out that I guessed wrong. Then I recognized you! Look at the differences between the people around you and you."

Liu Pei looked up and couldn't help but said: "The difference is really big!"

It turned out that he was the only young person on the entire floor. The rest were old and young. So Liu Pei stretched out his hand and said: "My name is Liu Pei. I am an antique dealer."

Xijiang Mingyue stretched out her hand to shake his hand and said, "My name is Yuan Zicheng. I am a retired university professor. Let's go to the dining area to chat!"

Now the two people knew each other completely. As they chatted, they talked about their respective histories. When Yuan Zicheng heard about Liu Pei’s early experiences, he was very emotional. He felt that it was really a pity that Liu Pei did not go to school.

After all, people like Liu Pei who skipped four years of nine-year compulsory education are indeed rare! However, considering Liu Pei's current living situation, he gave up the idea of ​​urging Liu Pei to study.

Liu Pei also knew his name, which was Yuan Zicheng. He was a retired professor at Fudan University in Shanghai. Now that they knew each other, it was natural to discuss the title. Liu Pei insisted on calling Yuan Zicheng Uncle Yuan, and Yuan Zicheng didn't care about these things.

, seeing Liu Pei insisting, he agreed.

The two of them talked and slowly returned to the topic of the history of the Ming Dynasty. Liu Pei raised his own question and said: "Uncle Yuan, the biggest problem I have now is that I don't know which book to believe."

There are more or less discrepancies in the things recorded in the books I can find.”

Yuan Zicheng smiled and said: "Of course. I think what you read the most is the history of the Ming Dynasty. But there is a question you have thought about, who compiled the history books of the Ming Dynasty?"

Liu Pei really had never thought about who compiled this question! In his experience, books should be quite reliable. When Yuan Zicheng saw Liu Pei's puzzled expression, he knew that he did not know this question, so he said: "You must know

, in the history of China, there has always been a habit of not compiling the history of the dynasty. Therefore, the "History of the Ming Dynasty" was compiled by the Qing Dynasty. And those who compiled historical materials surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Ming Dynasty courtiers, so of course they had to vilify the Ming Dynasty and beautify the Qing Dynasty to make their surrender less embarrassing! What's more, the Qing Dynasty loved to engage in literary inquisition, which led to many people who wrote history not to dare to write, or not to do so.

If you dare to write in detail, the history books will always be unclear! Only through comparison of multiple sources of information can the detailed truth of the matter be revealed to us."

"So that's it!" Liu Pei nodded in sudden realization and said, "Uncle Yuan, do you have any specific methods? Please teach me!"

"Of course!" Yuan Zicheng has not taught students for some time. It is rare to see a young man willing to study history, so he is naturally willing to teach it. He said: "First point, you have to think from the perspective of interests! Because there is a saying that the world is prosperous.

Everything is for profit, and everything in the world is for profit. This sentence is true! Especially those in power, they will not be idle and do things that harm others and do not benefit themselves. You only need to see who benefits from this matter,
