Chapter 984 (2/2)

However, in practice, people really exist.

In addition, history is written by the winners. Who knows how much credibility there is in the official history?

A famous collector said that history has no truth, only one truth remains!

That's quite to the point!

The most direct thing that can prove the truth of things is evidence. As long as there is relevant evidence to prove the truth of things, there is nothing to debate.

In fact, there are evidences that can prove the authenticity of historical events. However, unlike the current events, the evidences are relatively easy to find, because all the evidences that can prove the authenticity of historical events are cultural relics. Most of the cultural relics are buried in the dust of history, and very few of them are preserved, It still exists in ancient tombs, which are basically funerary objects. How can it be so easy to get the true and false evidence of historical events?

”This question is not easy to answer.” Ye Mengchen said that people are not easy to answer, saying: ”after all, the historical records we can see are artificial records, which inevitably mixed with the subjective views of the people who write records. In addition, the people who write records will inevitably be limited by their rights!”

”Yes Zhou qiuchu nodded at this time and said, ”you are from here. You can just say it directly. I believe if there is such an emperor, you must know it too!”

Shangguan Ruyun said with a smile: ”the records about this kind of things are true. After I have lived so long, there are such emperors who are obsessed with pills and pursue immortality. They hope to achieve the goal of immortality by taking the so-called elixir of immortality.”

After a pause, Shangguan Ruyun added: ”a large part of the reason why these emperors do this is because they know the existence of people in practice. In the past dynasties, people in practice are no secret to the imperial power.”

When Chen Hui heard this, he frowned and said, ”but there is an unwritten rule in your practice, which is also what you practice all the time, that is, don't interfere in worldly affairs, right?”

”Yes Shangguan Ruyun nodded and looked at Chen Hui with a smile, as if she already knew what Chen Hui wanted to say.

”Is it not beyond the scope of normal people for these emperors to pursue longevity?” Chen Hui then asked, ”if they succeed in refining the elixir of immortality, will you kill him?”

Shangguan Ruyun smiles. Chen Hui has thought about this problem just now. She says, ”no, we won't interfere with the emperor's obsession with alchemy. This topic should start from the root.”

”Then speak slowly, and we'll listen slowly.” Chen Hui said with a smile.

Shangguan Ruyun said: ”in fact, five thousand years of civilization has always been inherited by culture. No matter what classics, they are all derived from the book of changes, Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, all schools of thought. All of them are derived from the book of changes, and the book of changes is the first of all classics.”

This view has been put forward by scholars for a long time, and it is also a view accepted by most scholars.

However, what Chen Hui did not expect was that Shangguan Ruyun, a man of practice, also recognized this view.

”All the changes actually started with the emergence of a hundred schools of thought.” Shangguan Ruyun said: ”this is the most fundamental place. In fact, it doesn't need to be detailed, because what has left a lot of color in history is only the theories of several schools, such as Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism and Mohism, which are familiar to all of us!”
