Chapter 231: It's time for the show

The moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is still so round.

Today's Ping'an Avenue is full of people, and the door of the Meilanfang Grand Theater is crowded with people, and many people are holding money in their hands and asking who has extra tickets in their hands, at this time, even scalpers have no tickets in their hands.

Han Pingzheng took Han Caiwei and the three of them, and met Pei Jingqi and Gao Feng, who were just about to enter, this is Pei Yanzhi's first performance on the big stage, and the previous performance in Sanqingyuan of Dezheng Society was actually a joke, except for Pei Yanzhi and Yu Degang, most of them were cameos by actors from Dezheng Society, and they were very amateur.

This time is different, the Meilanfang Peking Opera Troupe, the top Peking Opera troupe in China, is also staged in the famous Meilanfang Grand Theater, even a person like Pei Yanzhi who has experienced strong winds and waves in his previous life, he also feels his heart pounding.

During the rehearsal, Pei Yanzhi had some different views with some of the veteran actors present, just because of the official uniform worn by Yang Bo.

Because many veteran actors who sang Yang Bo before wore a green python robe when they sang the second time they entered the palace.

Pei Yanzhi has a different view, from the Tang Dynasty, the color of the official uniforms in China began to have a fixed pattern, purple robes above the third grade, wearing goldfish bags, scarlet robes above the fifth grade, wearing silverfish bags, and green robes below the sixth grade, without fish bags.

In the Ming Dynasty, the color of the official uniform has changed somewhat, because Yang Bo's official position is the squire of the military department, which is from the second rank of the official position, and the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty has rules, one to four crimson, five to seven cyan, eight and nine green.

So no matter what era it is, the green robe is the color of the official uniform of low-level officials, and a dignified soldier squire, does this green official uniform seem a little abrupt.

Those old actors of the Meilanfang Peking Opera Troupe were also a little stunned, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the present, they have been singing Da Tan Er for more than 100 years, and no one has ever been more serious about the color of Yang Bo's official uniform, but Pei Yanzhi's reasonable and well-founded statement made these people have the heart to refute it, but they can't find a reason to refute it, so they can only respond with the fact that everyone is acting like this.

Even Li Zhengsu didn't expect that Pei Yanzhi would find out such a problem that was not a problem, but Li Zhengsu admired Pei Yanzhi's more serious energy, dared to put forward his own opinions, and was reasonable, Li Zhengsu pondered for a while, and agreed to Pei Yanzhi's request to change the python robe.

Looking at Pei Yanzhi's back, Li Zhengsu also bowed slightly, this kind of thing, Li Zhengsu could have rejected Pei Yanzhi in one sentence, after all, from Peking Opera to the present, most of Yang Bo in the second palace is wearing green python robes, and everyone has never questioned it, and if he is still the head of the Peking Opera troupe, it is estimated that he is likely to maintain stability and choose to continue to use the green python robe, but now he is no longer the head of the troupe, and the shackles on his body have disappeared, so he dares to do this and let Pei Yanzhi change the python robe。

This kind of thing can actually be big or small, because the inertia in Peking Opera is very terrible, especially this is the Meilanfang Peking Opera Troupe, here is the Meilanfang Grand Theater, the audience here is all old audiences who know opera, and the slightest abnormal performance will be seen clearly by them, so although this matter seems to be a trivial matter, it may not really be a trivial matter!

Pei Yanzhi once went back to ask his master Han Pingzheng because of this incident, Han Pingzheng pondered for a moment and said, "Peking Opera, there are no certain rules, if you feel wrong, you go to correct it, if someone raises objections, you use your performance to conquer them, as long as your performance is enough to make them forget that the python robe you wear is different from what they remember, but after you conquer them, your red python robe may become authentic in their eyes!"

......

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Meilanfang Grand Theater officially opened.

The gong and drum guy Cui moved, and the audience in the audience also quieted down.

It's time for the show!

Li Zhengsu came out of the door, with calm steps, as a Zhengdan, his steps were calm, his eyes were firm, his face was not angry and arrogant, and he had the demeanor of a queen.

Followed by two palace maids holding Huang Luo umbrellas, two palace maids holding lanterns, followed behind Li Zhengsu step by step, and two big eunuchs with four little eunuchs also appeared first, standing aside.

Li Zhengsu came to Jiulongkou, faced the audience, and said in her unique voice, "The bead curtain is hung with a high gold hook, and the Huangluo umbrella covers the mourning family." ”

After singing this sentence, Li Zhengsu turned around calmly, and then slowly walked to the back of the dragon book case, and sat down safely, these few steps are very exquisite, after all, Li Yanfei played by Li Zhengsu is Zhengdan, the imperial mother Li Yanfei, the momentum and temperament are the choice of the moment, and there can be no slightest frivolity and instability.

Pei Yanzhi watched Li Zhengsu's performance at the entrance of the stage, and couldn't help nodding secretly, this is everyone's demeanor, the Concubine Li Yan she played at the beginning was not so stable and calm, which shows the gap in heat.

Li Zhengsu sat behind the dragon book case, and said, "Lao Wang Yan returned to the west with his life, and the Manchu Dynasty reorganized Huayi. Thanks to the help of the secretaries, Baoding mourned the family and established the emperor. ”

Li Zhengsu froze for a moment and continued to say, "Mourning family, Concubine Li Yan." The old king feasted, and the prince was young. Thanks to the Zhongqing, the Baoding mourning family has ascended to the throne. This is the morning. Waiter!"

The big eunuch next to him hurriedly responded, "Yes!"

"Convey the decree to the house of Wenwu: there is a morning music, and there is no curtain to quit the class. ”

The great eunuch waved the dust whisk in his hand and said in his mouth, "Obey." Guotai has a purpose: there is a morning music, and there is no curtain to quit the class!"

I could only hear a curtain coming from the door of the field, "Li Liang has a play." ”

As he spoke, an actor with a white face, holding his jade belt, walked out step by step, and when he arrived at the position of Jiulongkou, he supported his black hair with one hand, pushed it slightly, and made an appearance, and the audience below also applauded.

"It's all about not rotting your tongue and touching the queen's heart. ”

This is the Taishi Li Liang, that is, Concubine Li Yan's father, who is the ruler of the dynasty, but you can see by looking at his face that this person is definitely not a good person.

Li Liang flicked his sleeves, took the wat board in his hand, came to Concubine Li Yan, bowed slightly, and said in a white voice, "Minister, Li Liang is driving, the country is a thousand years old!"

Concubine Li Yan gave the seat, and Li Liangan sat on the embroidery pier.

Next, it was Li Liangyu who deceived Concubine Li Yan, saying that now if people from all over the world see that our country is the queen in power, they will rebel and come to conquer after they can't go back, so it is better to give up the throne to a close person, and wait until the little emperor grows up, and then let him return to his original business.

Concubine Li Yan was also confused, and said, there are people here who are close to me, but you and my father and daughter, then I will give up the throne to you.

Li Liang asked Concubine Li Yan to make a covenant, saving the Manchu Dynasty from being dissatisfied with the civil and military.

Concubine Li Yan really made a contract, but she needed the Manchu civil and military to sign and draw the pledge, so she gave Li Liangshang the sword and asked him to let the Manchu civil and military draw the pledge.

As a result, Li Liang came to Wenban first, and used Shang Fang's sword to force everyone to draw one after another, but only Yang Bo, the squire of the military department, did not paint.

Li Liang came to the prince again, and used Shang Fang's sword to force everyone to draw one after another, but only King Xu Yanzhao did not paint.

After coming to power, Li Liangyu reported that Xu Yang and the two refused to draw the charge, and Concubine Li Yan was also slightly angry in her heart, and called Xu Yang and the two to the palace for questioning.

Mr. Meng Guanglu, who played Xu Yanzhao, took his imperial bronze hammer and went to the stage with his feet raised.

A deafening "decree" also made the audience applaud one after another.

Pei Yanzhi also couldn't help nodding, Mr. Meng's voice was really full of energy, and he deserved to be the first person with a flower face.

After Meng Guanglu came to the stage, he stood at the entrance of the platform, holding the imperial copper hammer in his hand, took square steps, and came to the mouth of Jiulong step by step, shook his water sleeves, revealed his hands, raised them gently, and sang,

"Xu Yanzhao rushed out of the court room to fight the bull, and respected the two classes of Chinese Wu Gonghou: the first prince Yan drove the prince young, and the dragon country general Jiangshan wanted to let the treacherous plot. Those who are not convinced will follow the old man to the palace to play, and the old man will be retained. I shouted at the noon gate and my mouth was rusty,"

At this time, a clear voice came from behind him, "Chitose go slowly!"

Meng Guanglu looked back slightly, with a little doubt and thought in his eyes, and opened his mouth to ask, "Which official is the answerer?"

"Yang Bo of the Military Department!"

Meng Guanglu bowed his head slightly and sang, "Hurry up to the Dragon Tower!"

After Meng Guanglu finished singing, he shook the sleeves of his robe, looked sideways at Concubine Li Yan, and stood with his back to the door.

Pei Yanzhi walked quickly to the stage in a burst of drum sounds, holding the hem of his python robe with one hand, and walked to the mouth of Kowloon, making a very handsome appearance.

Most of the audience who came today knew that Pei Yanzhi was invited to sing in the Meilanfang Peking Opera Troupe, and they also knew that he was going to play the role of Yang Bo, but many people were not very optimistic about him, after all, this play is a singing opera, although Pei Yanzhi's singing skills are good, but it is just a performance in a play, except in Dezheng Society, no one has really seen Pei Yanzhi's whole play.

When some people sing classic singing segments, their performance is no less than the level of the artist master, but as long as they come on stage to sing a whole play, they will immediately reveal their original form, because they usually contact so many singing segments, and the polishing is very good, but the whole play requires real kung fu.

Today is the first full play of Pei Yanzhi's Eight Classics, and it is such an important occasion.

The audience below are all old fans of the Meilanfang Peking Opera Troupe, but there are also many fans of Pei Yanzhi who came to inquire, or fans, so everyone also gave warm applause and applause to Pei Yanzhi who appeared on the stage, more than Li Zhengsu and Meng Guanglu received.

Before Pei Yanzhi took the stage, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, this play was of great significance, but after he came on the stage, he walked quickly to Jiulongkou, and when he appeared, he got such warm applause and applause, and suddenly, all the worries in his heart were swept away.

Pei Yanzhi held the wat board in one hand, held the jade belt around his waist, shook the sleeves of his robe, and sang,

"I was repairing this in the room, and I overheard that Guotai let the dragon tower. I should have gone upstairs to play this book, but I didn't dare to come out as an official. ”

Pei Yanzhi shouted, "I've seen Chitose!"

Meng Guanglu turned his head, saw Pei Yanzhi, and asked puzzledly, "Which prince is the prince in a panic?"

Pei Yanzhi said, "The student is in the room, and the Guotai general wants Li Liang to be in charge." Has Chitose ever drawn a charge?"

Meng Guanglu waved his hand slightly, and said in white, "How can the old man be willing to draw a charge, has the adult ever drawn a charge?"

Pei Yanzhi smiled and said, "How can a student be in the same party as that traitor." ”

"Since you have not drawn a charge, you should go to the temple and play it. ”

"I was supposed to play in front of the temple, but I didn't dare to come out because I was a lowly official. ”

"As long as you are loyal to the country, you will talk about big officials and small officials. The old man keeps you safe. ”

"Chitose Bao students are all right, spilling the golden rank with a lot of blood, and I want to have a few copies with that traitor!"

"Your Excellency, please!"

"Chitose please!"

The two shouted one after another, and the huqin sounded in response.

Meng Guanglu sang, "It's all just for the Dragon Kingdom to let the country,"

Pei Yanzhi sang along, "I want to seize the family and the state when I slander the courtiers." ”

"Stand at the noon gate and look at it,"

"Sitting on the side is Li Liang, a traitor who plots to usurp the throne. ”

"Then Li Liang is holding the vermilion sword in his arms, how can a thief have the appearance of an emperor!"

"The old prince gave a bronze hammer, beat the unconscious king, beat the slanderous ministers, and suppressed the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, which one is not respected? You are the loyal and good founder of the country!"

Meng Guanglu and Pei Yanzhi also glanced at each other, and the two laughed at the same time.

This laughter also has the laughter in the plot, the two of them, as loyal and courageous ministers, are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and dare to go to the palace to scold the traitor, but they are also selfless and harmless in their hearts.

With this laughter, there are also two people who feel that each other are really masters, and they are very comfortable to cooperate, Meng Guanglu, as the first Qiu faction in China, has cooperated with countless veterans, but Pei Yanzhi can definitely be ranked in the top three, which shows Meng Guanglu's appreciation for Pei Yanzhi.

The two went to the palace together, but they met Li Liang and wanted to stop Pei Yanzhi.

Meng Guanglu snorted coldly and glared at Li Liang, who had no choice but to bow his head and retreat.

When he arrived at the palace, Meng Guanglu bowed his hand slightly and sang, "Join the king in front of Jiulongkou,"

Pei Yanzhi sang along, "I wish the country a long and healthy life." ”

Li Zhengsu sang lightly, "The will is spread in the mouth of Jiulong, and the two families of Xu and Yang are flat. ”

The copper hammer in Meng Guanglu's hand clicked slightly, and he sang, "The copper hammer is three points Xie Guotai,"

Pei Yanzhi sang, "Bow to the emperor and thank the emperor!"

Li Zhengsu sang, "The inner courtiers have seen the golden chair,"

The eunuch next to him moved two chairs, one on the left and one on the left and one on the left.

Meng Guanglu and Pei Yanzhi sang at the same time, "The Ming Dynasty will discuss together. ”

After singing, the two took their seats at the same time.

The next plot is that the two of them persuaded Concubine Li Yan, but Concubine Li Yan's heart was already determined, and she couldn't listen to the persuasion of the two at all, and she also treated the two of them as thieves who wanted to take care of the country.

Although Pei Yanzhi's status as a soldier is not high, with the protection of King Youding, he scolded Li Liang in the palace, comparing him to Wang Mang and Zhu Wen, all of whom were big traitors who were plotting to usurp the throne.

Although Li Liang was annoyed, he didn't dare to be too much with the presence of King Ding, so he had to defend himself for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

But Concubine Li Yan helped the Taishi Li Liang, and the two of them had no choice, and finally Yang Bo gave Xu Yanzhao an idea.

"Long Guotai and the traitor are the masters, and Yang Bo is empty. When I turn around, I will invite Chitose, and rely on the old man to sell the old man and go crazy!" Pei Yanzhi sang.

Meng Guanglu shook his head and said, "The old man is old, and it is difficult to go crazy. ”

"Chitose! There is a way that the tiger is ambitious. You can beat this traitor. ”

Meng Guanglu approached Pei Yanzhi and asked, "Did you get the fight?"

Pei Yanzhi nodded, and said, "Beat it!"

I saw Meng Guanglu shouting, "Dodge!"
