I opened the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 346 Examining Yi Zhongtian

The Great Emperor Zhenwu's gaze was still deep, as if it could penetrate endless time and space. He looked at his daughter Shuiying and slowly said, "My daughter, this time I want to talk to you about Yi Zhongtian."

Emperor Zhenwu raised his chin slightly, his expression full of admiration for Yi Zhongtian. "Yi Zhongtian is well-known in the academic field. With his unique narrative style and profound insights, he makes history come alive. His lectures are like a feast of knowledge, attracting countless people to indulge in them. With his love and persistence for history, Yi Zhongtian has become a legendary figure in the cultural world through his explorations."

The Emperor Zhenwu became more and more excited as he spoke, gesturing with his hands. "He tells complicated historical stories in easy-to-understand language. His narration is full of wisdom and humor, allowing people to understand the true meaning of history in laughter. Every word and every point of view he makes is like a key that opens the door to people's understanding of history. With his talent and charm, he has won the respect and praise of readers and audiences all over the world."

"In terms of cultural communication, Yi Zhongtian has played a pivotal role. In his own way, he has made more people understand and love history. He has used the wisdom of history to enlighten people's thinking and stimulate their creativity. He is like a shining star, illuminating the entire cultural world."

The praise of Yi Zhongtian by Emperor Zhenwu was still lingering, but Shuiying could no longer hold back and was ready to start her unique journey of refutation.

After listening to the "speech" of his father, Zhenwu Emperor, Mizukage frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Father, look at Yi Zhongtian, whom you admire. He has never worked in the fields and does not understand the hard work of farmers. Think about it, working hard under the scorching sun and protecting the crops in the wind and rain are the truest form of life. But Yi Zhongtian, who talks a lot in his study all day long, has no idea about the sufferings of the world."

Mizukage pursed his lips and continued, "He is like a flower in a greenhouse, surrounded by the halo of knowledge and unaware of the hardships of labor. Farming may not sound so elegant, but it is the daily life of farmers. Only by truly experiencing these things can you understand how hard life is and how to cherish every grain of food and every leaf of vegetable. But Yi Zhongtian, he probably hasn't even seen what a hoe looks like. How can such a person understand the essence of life? He is like a scholar floating in the clouds, out of touch with the world and out of touch with the world."

Mizukage folded his hands in front of his chest, shook his head slightly and said, "Look at those real working people. They get up early and stay up late every day to cultivate their own land diligently. Although their hands are rough, they are full of strength; although their faces are covered with sweat, they are filled with happy smiles. Because they know that their labor is valuable and they are working hard for life. But Yi Zhongtian, he only knows how to tell history on the podium and fight for academic reputation. How can the two be the same? He doesn't understand the meaning of labor at all, and doesn't understand the philosophy of life behind farming."

When Shuiying said this, he glanced at Emperor Zhenwu, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "Father, tell me more about Yi Zhongtian. He has never traveled back to the Three Kingdoms era through time and space. What right does he have to comment on the history of the Three Kingdoms? He also spit and talk big, as if he is the worm in the stomach of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Guo Jia, and he knows what shit to poop when others stick their butts out! Isn't this pure nonsense? He is clearly hypocritical, pretending to be profound, talking big, and seeking fame!"

Mizukage's tone became more and more excited, and he continued, "History is so profound and complex. If you have not personally experienced that era, how can you truly understand the state of mind and the choices made by those heroes? Yi Zhongtian dared to interpret the history of the Three Kingdoms so boldly based on some ancient records and the research of later generations. This is really hard to believe. He thinks that he can see through everything after reading a few books? It's simply arrogant. The real history should be told by those who have experienced it personally, not by outsiders like him who imagine and judge it at will."

Shuiying pursed his lips, adjusted his mood, and continued: "Also, as a scholar, Yi Zhongtian has never killed a pig with a knife. How can he deeply understand Zhang Fei, who was born as a butcher? Zhang Fei's bravery and boldness were formed on the battlefield and in the hardships of life. How can a person who has never even killed a pig understand Zhang Fei's domineering and courage? How can he understand Zhang Fei's mental journey from a butcher to a famous general?"

Shuiying shook his head slightly and sighed, "Scholars should go deep into life and experience different kinds of life in order to truly understand historical figures. Yi Zhongtian just sits in his study and analyzes Zhang Fei based on book knowledge, which is far from enough. He has not experienced the hardships that Zhang Fei has experienced, and has not felt the life of swords and swords. How can he accurately interpret Zhang Fei? His research is nothing more than theory, lacking real life experience."

Mizukage folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at Zhenwu Emperor with a firm gaze. "Father, look at Yi Zhongtian. He has neither personally experienced the Three Kingdoms era nor lived the life of Zhang Fei, but he is brazenly interpreting the history of the Three Kingdoms. His behavior is really unacceptable. A true scholar should be rigorous, pragmatic, and have life experience. Yi Zhongtian is seriously lacking in these aspects. I firmly believe that such a person is definitely not a scholar worthy of respect, nor should he be the object of admiration."

Mizukage waved his hands exaggeratedly, as if describing the complexity of history. "History is like a huge maze with countless paths to explore. We should look at history with an objective and comprehensive attitude, rather than just interpreting it based on personal preferences and opinions. Although Yi Zhongtian is talented, his subjective tendencies sometimes mislead the audience and give people a wrong understanding of history."

Shuiying curled his lips and continued, "Look at those rigorous historians. When they study history, they will consult a lot of information and conduct in-depth analysis. They will not easily draw conclusions, but will consider various factors. But Yi Zhongtian, he sometimes simplifies history for the sake of effect, making history one-sided. Isn't this disrespectful to history?"

Shuiying snapped his fingers and sneered, "I think a scholar has a great responsibility, and his words will affect many people. If there is no sufficient basis and life experience, history should not be interpreted casually. Yi Zhongtian's behavior has violated the principles of a scholar, and he should be held responsible for his recklessness instead of being easily forgiven. I would rather look for scholars who are truly profound and have a deep understanding of life, and I would not recognize people like Yi Zhongtian."
