"Mom, I'm going to the study first."
After saying that, he quickly fled.
After crossing the hall, Su Rui asked the maid beside her: "Is my elder brother in the study?"
"The weather is nice today. Dalang has made an appointment with a friend to go on an outing." The maid replied.
Su Rui nodded to indicate that he heard it, and ran happily towards the study.
Yesterday, he had thought of visiting the study of his former father, County Magistrate Su, but his former elder brother, Su Qingshan, happened to be occupying the study, reading. To avoid being exposed, he decided not to join in the fun.
At this time, County Magistrate Su was probably still working in the outer courtyard of the county government office. His original mother was a person who followed the rules and would not easily enter the study, so the study became a deserted place at this time, which was just right for him to browse books at will.
The original body's father was a county magistrate who was a Jinshi graduate. He might not have much money, but his collection of books was definitely the largest in the county.
Looking at the large study room in front of him that looked like a small library, Su Rui knew he had come to the right place.
At the same time, he also had a headache: there were too many books and he didn't know where to start.
Looking around, I found that most of the books here were poetry and book collections, and there were not many miscellaneous books.
Su Rui picked for a long time and found a book called "General History of the Tang Dynasty" and started reading it.
The characters in this world are actually the traditional Chinese characters from before the time travel. Although Su Rui's cultural background is not deep, he does not have too many obstacles in reading. It's just that some wordings require a little thought to understand the true meaning.
He did not seek to understand the true meaning behind history, but just read it quickly. He could finish reading a book of several thousand words in about an hour.
Afterwards, he looked for some miscellaneous books such as local chronicles and recent poems for comparison, and the doubts in his mind were finally resolved.
It is now the third year of Yuanchen in the Western Tang Dynasty. After the end of the Great Tang Dynasty in history, the Zhao family did not gain control of the country. Instead, a prince named Li Jing sat on the throne and changed the dynasty to the Western Tang Dynasty.
Currently, the environment in Western Tang is somewhat similar to the Song Dynasty before the time travel, with the power of the princes greatly reduced. However, it is also a little different, as theocracy seems to have emerged in this world, with the founding emperor Li Jing being not only the emperor but also the god.
The historical background behind the emperor's identity as a spiritual leader was not mentioned in the General History of the Tang Dynasty. Only some miscellaneous books mentioned some seemingly plausible stories. One of the stories revealed that the county magistrate in charge of a region also served as the city god. He not only had to manage worldly affairs during the day, but also had to govern the ghosts and gods in his jurisdiction at night.
But it was just anecdotes, and Su Rui found it a bit mysterious. Although his time travel was also mysterious, it could still be explained by scientific theory.
Is the end of science really theology?
As it was getting dark, Su Rui left the study with doubts.
