I think that all of us are familiar with the Analects, and we will learn the Analects from an early age, and it is also indispensable in the textbooks. Today's book is a suspenseful speculative historical novel around the Analects.
The book is divided into two main lines at the same time. The first is told from the perspective of Zhu Shi'an, the thief of the jianghu; the other is told from the perspective of Sima Qian, the aether shi ling. Until the end, these two unrelated two people, because of a "Analects", the fates are cleverly intertwined.
The jianghu thief Zhu Shi'an originally went to the palace as an errand boy to assassinate Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, but he remembered his wife and children at the last moment, so he gave up this dangerous and bold idea. However, he was still unwilling, so he stole the beloved sweat and blood BMW of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty and became a sensational horse thief wanted by the whole city.
Who expected that on the way to escape, he took a task to escort a small child back to Beijing, but he did not expect that this task would take the lives of himself and his brothers. During the escort, he was repeatedly assassinated, what is the identity of this child, and why do people constantly want to kill him? A cloud of fog swept over the face, making people eager to read it, and then step by step to get closer to the earth-shattering secret behind the Analects.
The perspective of Sima Qian, the Taishi Ling, tells the whole process of Sima Qian's writing of the "Records of History". Sima Qian was a very upright man, who was not very sleek in his dealings with people, and had offended many people because of his outspokenness. However, he is very obsessed with the authenticity of history, and he can even pay for this masterpiece that he has worked so hard for.
In the process of writing, he discovered an anomaly, and he found that the ancient text "Analects" that should have been collected suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and all the relevant personnel were convicted and exterminated. So he began his own covert investigation, and the closer he got to the truth, the more creepy it became. Even he himself was falsely charged with these things and sent to prison. In the end, he was tortured by the palace, and he was able to save his life. The only driving force that supported his life was the unfinished "History".
Finally, two seemingly unrelated story lines are intertwined because the Analects are intertwined. It turned out that the little boy was a descendant of Confucius, the only person in the world who knew the ancient text of the Analects, and the original ancient Text of the Analects had long been secretly destroyed by the Han Wudi Emperor Liu Che.
However, the boy fell into the hands of Emperor Wu of Han. In order to rescue the child and circulate the Analects to the world, the rogue Zhu Shi'an cleansed his face and entered the palace, engraved the Analects on his body word by word in the form of tattoos, and after several years, finally passed out the Analects. However, what people never expected was that all of this was just a trap of Liu Che, all the efforts were just a bamboo basket to hit the water, and the "Analects" that was passed out were not the real "Analects"!
I admire the protagonists of these two perspectives. Zhu Shi'an, for a child who has nothing to do with himself, has given everything he can to give. When I went to him to cleanse his face, I really felt the shock, and it was very chivalrous!
And Sima Qian's contribution to the "Records of History" is also more than enough. Although it is only a novel, it makes me feel that the great figures in history should not be worse than them, and the inheritance of some ancient books must be very difficult.
This is a historical novel worth reading over and over again! Finally, this ending is almost uncertain to send away! I won't disclose the specifics, so let's read it for myself!
