Chapter 586: The King of Zhuangli

Ding Momo: “?”

roommate?

She took a deep breath, and a story that was almost forgotten was gradually brought to mind.

"Before, my roommate Jiang Yu seemed to have brought a doll back to the dormitory..."

The memory goes back to a month and a half ago. On this day off, Jiang Yu went to the antique market alone. When she came back, she brought back a figurine.

Ding Momo was the first to see it. Out of curiosity, she approached and asked, "What is this?"

"You mean this?"

Jiang Yu stopped fiddling with the doll, raised his head and said, "I bought this at the antique market. I don't like King Zhuang Li very much, but I haven't seen his dolls recently. I finally saw one, and it's very expensive. I was reluctant to part with it at first, but after thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and bought it."

After all, figures of King Zhuang Li are particularly hard to buy.

If you want, you basically have to customize it.

Sometimes I get looked down upon.

But the price of customization is really outrageous.

It is simply not a price that an ordinary student like Jiang Yu can afford.

Ding Momo was stunned. "Why do you like King Zhuang Li? Isn't he a tyrant?"

My roommate is not the kind of person who can't tell right from wrong.

Sometimes when she saw loyal ministers and generals being persecuted by treacherous officials in history class, she would get particularly angry.

Whenever she saw remarks that whitewashed treacherous officials, she would scold them.

She remembered that her roommate had once scolded Zhuang Liwang for being a piece of shit.

Why has my roommate started liking Zhuang Li Wang recently?

This is even more outrageous than another roommate who suddenly fell in love with the person he had always scolded.

"Alas!" The roommate sighed heavily, looking worried, "Look, even you think so. Actually, it's not like that."

"I've read a lot recently, and I found that we have actually misunderstood him. Moreover, many things are only briefly mentioned in history books, and we can only see the surface of many things."

She felt very sorry for the powerful Wang Ming.

"Everyone only saw that he killed many ministers, but those people deserved to die. It's just that history is written by the victors. In order to make him appear to be the most deserving, those ministers he killed were glorified as loyal ministers who were devoted to serving the people and the country!"

There are only a few records of the deaths of those people in history books, and no one knows exactly how they died.

On what basis can we say that what is written in history books is correct?

Ding Momo: “…”

Is that so?

The corners of her mouth twitched.

"Well... there are so many historians, they will all verify it, they can't wrongly accuse him for so many years."

Jiang Yu glanced at his hand and said, "Our country has a history of 5,000 years. Those historians don't have the time to defend him."

"Let alone others, even I only knew this after reading the analysis of those uploaders."

This is also because the historical up-loaders she follows are somewhat unpopular.

It's so unpopular that the videos they post usually only get a few dozen or a hundred likes.

Recently they overturned the verdict for Zhuang Liwang, and the traffic has increased a bit.

But the traffic is destined not to be too much because it is inconsistent with mainstream thinking.

She was just very angry. Obviously, King Zhuang Li was a good emperor who worked hard to govern the country, but the public's impression of him was that of a bloodthirsty tyrant.

Ding Momo scratched her head, "Is that so?"

Jiang Yu held the thumbnail in his hand and nodded frantically at her. "That's it. I'll send you those uploaders. You'll know when you take a look. He was a good emperor. It's just that the Zhuang Dynasty was doomed. He couldn't save it. It wasn't his fault."

The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. It is really heartbreaking to be arranged like this just because you are the loser.

"No need." Ding Momo shook her head. "You know, I've never been interested in these things."

She is not a history lover and does not like the history of the Zhuang Dynasty.

Even that thin page of record in the history book felt heavy to her.

Not to mention asking her to watch long analysis videos.

Regardless of whether King Zhuang Li was wronged or not, the deaths of those common people were real.

A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart. She didn't want to know what King Zhuang Li's original intention was; she only looked at the final result.

Jiang Yu sighed heavily.

"Look, even you don't want to see how he was misunderstood, let alone others."

Ding Momo: “…”

She laughed it off and changed the subject.

She didn't want to argue with her roommate about whether King Zhuang Li was a tyrant.

After all, my roommate now likes Zhuang Liwang.

No matter what she said, Jiang Yu felt that she was deceived by what was written in history books.

In the end, everyone will probably start arguing.

Jiang Yu is not the kind of person who would force her roommate to agree with her.

She could only continue to watch Zhuang Liwang's videos and try to let more people know the truth.

…

After Ding Momo finished speaking this part, the netizens fell silent.

[It's getting really bad. Even the powerful King Zhuang Li has been whitewashed. 】

[What the hell, who posted this video to whitewash King Zhuang Li? Tell me the name of the uploader and I will report it. I am so angry. Someone is whitewashing a tyrant who killed so many people! ]

[If someone points out something that is different from your perception, does that mean you are trying to whitewash the King Zhuang Lie? Just don’t be too funny. ]

[Although it’s a bit difficult to judge, her roommate is right in saying that history is indeed written by the victors, and what you see may not be true.]

[6, you understand again, right? ]

[Now, anyone can make a video. A particularly incompetent bastard can be made into a wise ruler, but the good minister who has been loyal to the country all his life is portrayed as a villain who will do anything to climb up the ladder. It makes me so angry! ]

[I have also seen the comments that whitewashed King Zhuang Lie. The key is his video. At first glance, it seems that what he said makes a lot of sense, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. If I wasn’t someone who is easily led astray, I would have almost believed it.]

The netizens began to talk about what they saw.

A month and a half ago, those videos might have been unpopular.

But the Internet is an amazing place.

Sometimes a certain idea or something suddenly becomes popular, and it only takes a moment.

Similarly, a house collapse may happen in a moment.

However, recently, videos about Zhuang Liwang have indeed been circulated among some students.

Especially those young students.

And some people who love to post opinions on the Internet that are contrary to the majority and think they are independent.

"Because of this, you were almost taken away?"

Ding Momo's aunt was puzzled. "That shouldn't happen. There are so many people who scold him. You can't say something bad and a ghost will want to take over your body!"

Ding Momo lowered her head silently.

"It should be related to what happened later."

She frowned, thinking of what her roommate once said: King Zhuang Li had been reading poetry since he was a child, and after ascending the throne, he never slacked off for a single day.

If you worship more people like him, maybe you will gain good luck.

Especially in terms of career and studies.

It is said that it is called one worship one accuracy.

Adhering to the principle of preferring to believe it than not, Ding Momo did indeed pay her respects casually at the time.

What did she say then?

Oh, it seems that the believer only seeks glory and wealth, not a bit of true love.

A look of understanding flashed across Huo Ning's eyes.

"That's why," she said, glancing at her phone screen again. "You guys should have seen something like this recently, right?"

【!!! It seems so, I really got it! 】

[Damn, if there wasn't a temple for King Zhuang Li, I would have wanted to go to his temple and worship there! ]

[Well, how should I put it? Someone privately messaged me and said that he could make a statue of King Zhuang Li, and if I worshiped the statue, my wish would come true. But I asked him about it, and he said it was too expensive, so I ignored him.]

[To be honest, I also encountered this. I just thought he was a liar. I have read it and will not reply! ]

Sometimes being poor and lazy can occasionally avoid a disaster.

Ding Momo's eyes widened. "So...so the ghost who wanted to take over my body was King Zhuang Li?"

Huo Ning nodded. She finally understood why the man in black robe looked so familiar after his mask exploded.

So I have seen the portrait before!

But she also felt that the bronze tripod looked familiar.

Huo Ning raised her eyebrows and said nothing more.

Ding Momo quickly asked, "Master Huo, my roommate is not a bad person. Is she deliberately trying to trick me?"
