postscript

The fourth volume of "Song Xiang" "Lin'an" has finally been updated.

After the war in the first two volumes, in this volume, both Song and Kim chose to stop the war, and both sides are preparing for the next war. Overall, the content of this volume is relatively peaceful, and there are many new characters and new events, some characters and events just show their faces, but there is no result, and you may feel a little messy, these are all foreshadowing for the rest of the content, and they will be reflected in the fifth volume or even the sixth volume.

And our protagonist Yang Yan is probably quite depressed in this volume, he has been idle in the first half, and the quarrels in the court for the war lord have nothing to do with him, as if he has become an outsider. But in the second half of the volume, it was inevitably involved in the whirlpool of politics, and inexplicably got into a lawsuit, and as a result, because of a momentary robbery, all the credit accumulated on the battlefield in the previous two volumes was lost. Even the princess, who almost made a hot meal out of raw rice, ran away. Compared with the previous volume of expeditions, Yang Yan can be regarded as mildew in this volume.

However, for the novel, it is not a bad thing to let the protagonist go through a little bit of disintegration. At least it can make the plot change and be a little more unexpected. If the protagonist is always that kind of smooth sailing and invincible, I don't think it will be too interesting. Although Yang Yan is the protagonist of the novel, this is a novel with multiple lines, Yang Yan's experience is only one main line, and the content of the whole book cannot revolve around Yang Yan alone, and other people and things will develop together. This will be further strengthened in the following sections.

In the fourth volume, Manichaeism appears, and the organizational structure of Manichaeism is roughly similar to that of Mingjiao in [Heaven and Dragon Slayer]. On the one hand, I don't need to use my brain to make the setting, and on the other hand, everyone is familiar with it, so I don't need to explain more. Of course, in this volume, Manichaeism is basically just a bright image, and in the later stories, there will be more things about Manichaeism.

Everyone should be familiar with the story of Zhu Xi and Yan Rui. Who is who is not the public opinion,There are a lot of research articles on Zhu Fan and Zhu Hei.,If you're interested in book friends, you can use Baidu to search.,I won't say much about this matter.

One of the reasons for adapting this story into the novel is that I originally read a novella of [Yangzhou Ghost] in a fantasy magazine, which is the story of Yan Rui, which I like very much. The daughter of the prefect of Yangzhou who set Yan Rui's life experience as one came from [Yangzhou ghost]. Another reason is to clear Yang Yan to zero, always let him do something out of the ordinary, but can't let Yang Yan do bad things, because Yu Yunwen and Yang Yizhong are there, it is unlikely that the traitor will harm Yang Yan, just use Yan Rui's story, the hero saves the beauty, and he is angry at the crown for a red face, although it is a little cliché, but it is also an eternal and unmourning material.

And from this story, it is reflected that Yang Yan still has an impulsive and strong side in his character, after all, only a scheming politician will, and it is worth it to do everything to worry about it. At least the current Yang Yan is still very immature in politics, and he is not even as good as Zhao Qianru.

At the same time, through Yan Rui's story, it was also introduced that Zhu Xi, who is one of the most famous figures in this period in history, can probably be regarded as a number in one fell swoop.

Finally, Zhu Xi. What is the true image of the story of Zhu Xi and Yan Rui? We don't know, but I have always thought that Zhu Xi is neither a saint nor a villain, in the words of Mingyue back then, he is just a person with pursuits. Therefore, a lot of words are spent in the novel to explain Zhu Xi's position and background in Yang Yan and Yan Rui, that is, I don't want to write Zhu Xi as a simple sage or a despicable villain. But I don't know if it will be successful.

As for historical figures, I try my best to portray them as they are in history in my novels, and there are also elements of exaggeration, fiction and artificiality, such as Xin Qiji and Yu Yunwen in the novel, but they basically do not deviate from the scope of history itself. However, everyone's experience is different, and my own experience and knowledge are insufficient, compared with my book friends, it is inevitable that I will be lacking.

Specific to Zhu Xi, this is a person who is quite competitive. Therefore, Zhu Xi in the book can only represent my own point of view. If there is a conflict with the views of the book friends, please forgive me, and you are also welcome to discuss with the book friends. That's all I have to say about Zhu Xi for the time being. Wait until Zhu Xi is talking about it when he comes out.
