Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

And below the matchmaker, the top of another fragment was revealed, with the three words "Cheng Yaojin" clearly written on it.

This must be a play written for him at this time.

"How do I choose?" Li Shimin thought silently, "I want to know about the firearms, and I also want to know about this drama. If I am chosen next, which one should I ask?"

He prayed silently in his heart that he would not be picked next, and that someone else would ask about firearms, and then he would be chosen and the host would replay the scene for him to watch.

After Qi Cheng finished, he took a sip of water from the cup and asked the system to continue drawing the second person.

"Pu Songling of the Qing Dynasty"

Boss!

The people and officials outside the sky saw Qi Cheng so excited and knew that he was another famous person, but they didn't know what he was about.

Some people in the Qing Dynasty knew Pu Songling. He was known as a child prodigy when he was young, but unfortunately he did not do well in the imperial examinations. He had to work as a private tutor at home and his family was very poor.

Why are people in later generations so excited? Is it because of his book?

"Host, I'd like to ask, what are some famous novels from the Ming and Qing dynasties? Have they been adapted into the kind of play we just showed?"

Qi Cheng smiled and said, "There are four great masterpieces of Ming and Qing fiction: Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Journey to the West, and Dream of the Red Chamber."

"Of course, your Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio is also quite good. It has been adapted into many movies and TV series."

WTF?

Were these novels adapted into movies? The down-and-out literati of every dynasty suddenly had a direction. It was just a novel, wasn't it? What was so difficult about it? If I wrote it myself, it could become a masterpiece.

Three Kingdoms

Although Cao Cao had good literary accomplishment, these two dynasties were too far away from him, so he didn't care much about them, but the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was mentioned in it.

This seems to be written about my own era.

What exactly is written in the book? Does it make me appear more wise and powerful? On second thought, I think that later generations praised Zhuge Liang so much, so I'm afraid they would have written Liu Bei better.

I'm kind of looking forward to reading this novel or watching the TV series adapted from it.

If I were picked, would I ask to watch a TV series or ask about firearms?

Emperors and ministers of other eras also looked up at the sky. The pen of a writer is as sharp as a knife. If they portray themselves as a tyrant or a treacherous minister, their reputation will be ruined.

Qi Cheng originally didn't plan to introduce them, but considering that Pu Songling's family was poor and he might not have read all of these books, he decided to give him a general introduction.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms mainly tells the story from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period. The author is Luo Guanzhong from the early Ming Dynasty. It contains many popular stories and the characters are probably well known to everyone, mainly Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan."

Other people from the Three Kingdoms period wanted the host to say more, as they probably have their own stories here.

Pu Songling nodded at home, he knew the story of the Three Kingdoms.

"Water Margin tells the story of the Northern Song Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Huizong, where Song Jiang and 108 other generals gathered at Liangshan Marsh. The author was Shi Naian, who lived in the early Ming Dynasty. Judging from the descriptions in the book, he must have experienced war."

"You know, if you kill a dozen people, the knife will become blunt."

Shi Nai'an coughed violently. What he wrote was clearly about brotherhood. Why did people in later generations pay attention to these details in his book? Wouldn't the government send people to monitor him?

宋朝

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what to say. This book was about the Ming Dynasty, but the story was about the Song Dynasty. Don't you have any stories about the Ming Dynasty? Why do you have to write about the Song Dynasty?

Since it is written about rebellion, the imperial court at that time must have been very bad. I wonder if Huizong is among the ten most incompetent emperors ranked by later generations.

"Journey to the West tells the story of Tang Sanzang, a monk from the Tang Dynasty, who journeyed west to seek Buddhist scriptures. The author is Wu Cheng'en, who lived in the mid-Ming Dynasty. It's quite an interesting novel. When we were kids, it was just an ordinary myth."
