But in the novel, Yao Runeng is the descendant of the famous Tang Dynasty. Compared with Zhang Xiaojing, the hero from the grass roots, Yao Runeng is a typical aristocratic child with both talent and appearance. However, due to the decline of family fortune, Yao Runneng in the novel is an official's son who is interested in reviving the family glory. Because he is the only man in the family, he is afraid of death, but he is often in danger, and some chaotic thoughts are not easy to be seen through. The real Yao Runneng in history loves literature and history, and also likes to write something by himself. He once wrote a story about An Lushan, which was passed down to later generations. This is a work similar to the present novel, which records the rebellion of An Lushan during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. The book consists of three volumes, from the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion to the end of the Anshi Rebellion. Moreover, the novels are listed in different categories, with practical notes and annotations, even more detailed than the official records at that time.
In the novel, there is a dialogue between Yao Ru and Zhang Xiaojing. When Zhang Xiaojing has doubts about Yao Ru, let Yao Ru stop asking about it. Yao Ru can tell Zhang Xiaojing that he is secretly writing a legendary novel. He thinks Zhang Xiaojing is very interesting and wants to write it down. The book An Shi Rebellion written by the real Yao Runeng in history records that Zhang Xiaojing, a knight, first shot Guo Zhong, then beheaded him and slaughtered his body. Lin Jiulang in the novel is Yang, that is to say, the novel may end with Lin Jiulang being shot. If the ending of the novel is really like this. Then the author's stalk is so interesting and memorable.
