Chapter 2114: Eastern Zhou Dynasty

To sum up, it is very embarrassing that Liu Xu could not find a founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty worthy of writing about.

What, you said to write about Kangxi.

Come on, you say Kangxi is the founding emperor, aren't you afraid that Kangxi will crawl out of his grave and beat you up? So Liu Xu finally had an idea and simply stopped writing about how the Qing Dynasty was founded, and instead wrote in detail about how the Qing Dynasty perished.

Therefore, Liu Xu's last novel, "Qingshan Nanxu", became a novel about how the Qing Dynasty fell, and became the only one among all Liu Xu's novels.

Because he wrote it as if it were the last novel of his life, Liu Xu was very serious about it. Even though this novel made countless readers cry when it was serialized, Liu Xu still meticulously spent 150 years to finish writing "Qingshan Nanxu".

It was written until the Xinhai Revolution broke out, Yuan Shikai usurped the throne and founded the country, and then abdicated, and the entire feudal history of China came to an end. As for the subsequent plot, Liu Xu did not write it anymore. He had a feeling that if he wrote it, he would provoke an unprecedented void beast.

After all, Liu Xu's original idea was just to finish writing about the feudal era.

But Liu Xu thought so, but his readers did not think so. When Liu Xu published a letter to readers, explaining in detail his intention to completely close the series of novels, saying that the entire dynasty series would end here and that he had completed the 2000-year history of China's feudal dynasties, his readers were completely fed up.

What a joke! Although Yuan Shikai failed in founding the country, China is still being ravaged by countless foreign invaders, and there is no hope of re-emergence. If you don't write the rest of the story at this time, won't you suffocate me to death?

As a result, countless readers began to rebel in various reader groups, using all means to force Liu Xu to finish the rest of the story, which made Liu Xu feel a great deal of pressure. Especially when those old friends and old readers came to Liu Xu to say that they did not want to see Liu Xu stop writing, and hoped that Liu Xu could continue writing, Liu Xu hesitated.

After all, over the years, Liu Xu has become accustomed to writing every day, and suddenly stopping writing novels makes Liu Xu quite uncomfortable.

Finally, Mr. Luo found Liu Xu and said that if Liu Xu really made a vow to stop writing the subsequent stories after finishing the feudal era, then Liu Xu's vow was not truly fulfilled, because the feudal era did not start from the Qin Dynasty.

According to what Liu Xu mentioned in the novel, there were the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period before the Tian Qin Dynasty, and before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period there were the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. These have not been fully written about, so Liu Xu could just write about the history of these eras as well.

In this regard, Liu Xu really wanted to explain to his teacher that the proper feudal era actually began in the Qin Dynasty.

Because the core definition of the feudal era is the exploitation of the peasant class by the landlord class. The first batch of Chinese landlords began when Shang Yang carried out the Reform. At that time, with the introduction of the military merit system, a large number of free people with a large amount of land were born. These free people gradually evolved into landlords, and later there were wealthy families and aristocratic families.

If we go back to the Warring States period and before, it was actually a feudal system, or an aristocracy system, or more essentially an aristocratic slavery system, where land was divided among the great nobles, and then the nobles ruled the slaves to cultivate the land.

Moreover, the first emperor is counted from Qin Shihuang. There was no emperor before Qin Shihuang. The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties are fundamentally different from the later dynasties.

However, it is difficult for Liu Xu to explain these things thoroughly, and Mr. Luo also said it very well. He said that you wrote the feudal era in the notice, and the feudal era, if understood literally, undoubtedly means enfeoffment of princes to rule the world. Then the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties were actually a system of enfeoffment of princes to rule the world, so it should be attributed to the feudal era.

"We have no objection if you want to stop writing, but at least finish writing about the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period!" Teacher Luo said patiently.

"I can't write..." Liu Xu said painfully, "There are actually very few historical materials from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and there are many contradictions and conflicts between different historical materials. I don't know which historical materials to choose. The historical materials of the Zhou Dynasty are actually not as many as those of the Shang Dynasty, because the Shang Dynasty left behind a large number of oracle bones, and later generations can reconstruct the history of the Shang Dynasty through oracle bones, but the history of the Zhou Dynasty is only left with a few classics handed down from the pre-Qin period."

"The most unfortunate is the Xia Dynasty. We can't even determine the exact reign periods of the Xia emperors. Although there are projects to divide the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties in later generations, the only ones that can be divided are the Shang and Zhou dynasties. To be honest, the division of the Xia Dynasty is actually a political task. I can't write it without convincing evidence!"

As Liu Xu's teacher and the master of the world, many things were no longer hidden from Teacher Luo, such as Liu Xu's origins and the true historical origins of China.

"Don't you have the Jingwei World?" Teacher Luo said with a smile, "There are a large number of people who survived from that era who can provide you with historical data. Are you still worried that you can't write it?"

"..." Liu Xu was silent for a moment and then said, "Do I have to write it?"

"There is no such thing as a must or no, I just want you to write it!" Teacher Luo stood up and said, "But whether you write or not is ultimately up to you, and whether you still consider yourself an author!"

"Is it not okay for me to write it?" What else could Liu Xu do? He could only delete the closed message he had sent before, and then picked up his pen again to start his next new book, "The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty".

It was great to see that the rubbish author finally started writing again. Although he did not finish the story after Yuan Shikai as everyone requested, writing the story before the Qin Dynasty also satisfied the wishes and curiosity of many people. Therefore, the hostility in the forums and various author groups began to disappear rapidly, and readers returned to the days of reading a chapter of the rubbish author's novel every day.

But soon, readers suddenly realized that the days of publishing one chapter a day seemed to be over... The rubbish author actually reversed the situation and went back from the era of one chapter a day to the era of two chapters a day.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to finish writing..." Facing the curiosity of many friends, Liu Xu answered honestly, "It has been more than 300 years now, and the prehistoric world may be reborn and completed at any time. Once Xu Xu comes to me, I'm afraid I will never have the chance to finish writing these stories, so I have to hurry up!"

"It's okay, we will definitely win!" Everyone said this to Liu Xu. Liu Xu didn't say anything, but successfully completed "The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" a hundred years later.

In terms of content, the word count of "The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" actually surpasses "The Sun and the Moon Are Bright", becoming the novel with the most words among all Liu Xu's novels. But there is no other way. The Autumn and Warring States Period spanned more than 400 years, which was the enlightenment era of Chinese philosophical thought and the peak of the classical era. There are too many stories and characters to tell. At the same time, this period cannot be described from the perspective of the founding emperor, so even if it is updated twice a day, it still took a hundred years.

Just when "The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" was completed, the clone that Liu Xu had placed near the prehistoric world brought news that the last layer of the world barrier of the prehistoric world had also been constructed, and it was probably less than a hundred years before Xu Xu was born.

The core of this starting point says it will take 800 years, which is really a lie!
