Chapter 115 That History

Chapter 115 That History
Ji Chenxing turned to the pages with Daliang and Beiliang written on them and began to read from beginning to end.

But before she could read any useful information, the content of the textbook ended.

Ji Chenxing felt a little regretful.

According to the records in history textbooks, the dynasty in which Daliang existed was a very short-lived dynasty.

Middle school textbooks are excerpts, and even major events of that era are only briefly mentioned. A large amount of space is then used to analyze the impact of these events on the time or future generations.

There are very few texts related to the events to begin with, and each chapter is interspersed with many illustrations related to the time, so there are very few records related to that period of history.

Ji Chenxing only knew that Daliang, Beiliang and Zhou Pingguo divided the world into four parts for only a few hundred years before the northwestern ethnic minorities changed dynasties and unified it into a great country.

As for the reign of Emperor Hui of Liang, Jun Heng, the history books only mention that "there were many disasters in the north and south."

Then, during the reign of Emperor Jing of Liang, the next emperor after Emperor Hui of Liang's death, the old problems accumulated in Daliang over the past few years were about to break out. In addition, the generals at that time were not good at commanding troops, so Daliang was annexed by the joint efforts of Northern Liang and Zhou.

As for Northern Liang, there are even fewer things mentioned in the book. Most of them talk about how Emperor Xiao of Northern Liang was a great hero who unified Daliang and Northern Liang.

Ji Chenxing searched the book for a long time but could not find any information about the little prince who was kidnapped that year.

She held the thin pages of the book between her fingertips. All the people she once admired, hated, and protected were already drawn as lead characters on them.

Their lives, their stories, were scribbled over with a few strokes, as pale as a piece of paper.

Perhaps because the emotions in Ji Chenxing's eyes were too different, the history teacher looked at Ji Chenxing with a smile.

"What did you see that made you so emotional? I have taught you for so many years, and you are the youngest, but the emotions in your eyes are the most sincere."

The history teacher's surname is Hu, and he is an old man. He used to be a history professor at a university in the imperial capital. He just retired two years ago and was pulled over by Ji Huaiyu to tutor Ji Chenxing in history.

"Nothing." Ji Chenxing turned the page about Daliang silently. "It's just that seeing these names being mentioned in passing reminded me that they were once living people."

Teacher Hu said "Oh~" meaningfully, and then laughed "Hahahaha".

“When I taught students in the past, I often told them not to regard these names as cold symbols.

"They are all flesh-and-blood characters in history. Everything they did was related to the history of the time and was limited by the times."

After he finished speaking, he smiled and seemed very satisfied with Ji Chenxing as a student.

“To be honest, there are many things you may not understand after reading the textbooks, because the content in the textbooks is not comprehensive.

"History is not just history. It is a combination of economic, cultural, political, and even physical and chemical developments."

As if sensing the confusion in Ji Chenxing's eyes, Teacher Hu sat down on a chair not far from Ji Chenxing.

"But let's not talk about that today." Teacher Hu tapped the history textbook in Ji Chenxing's hand. "Let's just talk about what you just saw. If you have any other questions you are interested in, you can ask them. I know much more than what is in your textbook."

A gleam of light flashed in Ji Chenxing's eyes. She was just thinking about whether to go online to look up the information of those years, but she didn't expect that Teacher Hu would talk to her immediately.

"Teacher, there is something I want to know. Do you know that there was a prince in Beiliang who was kidnapped?" "Beiliang..." Teacher Hu thought for a moment and nodded quickly.

"It seems that Beiliang did have such a prince, and this prince later became the youngest and earliest-dying emperor of Beiliang—Emperor Liang Ai."

Ji Chenxing's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Most of these emperors' posthumous titles were related to their life stories, and the word "Sai" sounded a little uneasy.

"The first one to die...how long did he live?"

"He ascended the throne at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and died at the age of fifteen."

After Teacher Hu finished speaking calmly, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something interesting and let out a "hiss" while holding his chin up.

"There is not much about this prince in the official history, except that his biological mother was a princess of Daliang. It was probably because of this incident that the entire Beiliang royal family turned against him.

"But there is a record of his affair with a young lady from Daliang in unofficial history."

Ji Chenxing:?
"How could the Prince of Beiliang have anything to do with the lady of Daliang?" Ji Chenxing asked puzzledly.

To put it bluntly, what this unofficial history writes is totally irrelevant.

This is probably not the first time that Mr. Hu has talked about gossip about historical figures with others. He is very calm and says, "Don't be impatient. Just listen to me slowly.

"As we said before, Emperor Liang Ai's identity was unique in the Northern Liang royal family, so when he was nine years old, a hijacking incident occurred..."

Then, Teacher Hu told a story of “beauty saving the hero” that shocked the world and moved ghosts to tears.

Ji Chenxing slowly realized that the young lady from Daliang that Teacher Hu was talking about was himself in his previous life? !
But it is obvious that Old Hu knows more than Ji Chenxing himself.

"Later, Daliang sent a team of people to secretly send the prince of Beiliang back to the palace. The matter should have ended here, but later the prince's mother died, and the old emperor was also plotted against. Before his death, he wanted to make Emperor Ai of Liang the emperor.

"The fact that Emperor Liang Ai became emperor caused dissatisfaction among his younger brother.

"The unofficial history doesn't explain this clearly. It just says that Emperor Liang Ai's poor health was partly due to his brother not letting him have an easy life, and partly because of the young lady who saved him at the time. She became ill due to worry and was incurable..."

Ji Chenxing tried his best not to appear too surprised, but his heart suddenly began to tighten.

She moved her fingers slightly and lowered her head to read, but the photos of Lu Yuzhou's childhood that Ji Huaiyu showed her kept appearing in front of her eyes.

Two people who are exactly the same.

Ji Chenxing's name and the name of the Crown Prince of Beiliang are not recorded in unofficial history. Even if Teacher Hu talks more, he would not suspect Ji Chenxing.

“To be honest, from our modern perspective, Beiliang and Daliang are not that far apart, and a plane can get there in the morning.

"If the two of them were in modern times, maybe they could really achieve a happy ending. Unfortunately, that era..."

Teacher Hu thought for a moment and said, "No matter how upset you are, this happened hundreds of years ago, and the people involved are no longer around. Let's start from the beginning. I'll tell you what happened over the years."
