Chapter 35: "The Orphan of Zhao".
On the stage, the actors of the second troupe were working hard to perform a play "Five Righteous Warriors", and Shen You was watching from the side curtain.
"Five Righteous Warriors" is about the period of Chengping of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the nine-thousand-year-old Li Jinzhong misled the country and brutalized Zhongliang.
Suzhou Zhou Shunchang, who had been a minister, had no choice but to return to his hometown after many failed impeachments.
Li Jinzhong hated Zhou Shunchang deeply, but because Zhou Shunchang was honest and honest, and his reputation in Shilin was quite high, he could only secretly arrest him.
When the captain arrived at the door, Su people were in an uproar.
There were five people, Ma Jie, Shen Yang, Yan Peiwei, Zhou Wenyuan, and Yang Nianru, and out of righteous indignation, they sounded the gong and called, and gathered thousands of people at one time.
They led people to beat the captain and protected Zhou Shunchang.
Li Jinzhong was furious when he learned of this, and used his troops to capture five people and kill them, and Zhou Shunchang was still imprisoned and died unjustly in the end.
Later, Li Jinzhong lost power, and Sergeant Wu went to the table and asked to abolish the 9,000-year-old ancestral hall as the tomb of Yang Nianru's five people.
Their monuments stand tall, the incense has so far declined, and all those who have passed the tomb of five people are solemn and admired.
"Five Righteous Soldiers" is indeed a loyal and righteous historical drama that can be sung and cried, and after the second troupe finished performing, Shen You also applauded them heartily.
The audience under the stage was excited, sighed, admired, and so on.
After the second troupe finishes singing, it will be noon, and the audience will go for a simple lunch, and then reunite in front of the stage in the afternoon.
It also gives them time to buffer their emotions.
Regarding the order of appearance of the three Peking Opera troupes, the final finale of the first troupe is indisputable.
The second regiment wanted to take the lead, and the third regiment also left it to them.
Because Wang Shiqi has confidence in Shen You's script.
The second regiment is devastated, and the first regiment also dares to be tough.
So, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the show was staged.
Jinghu and drums sounded, the red curtain opened, and as soon as they appeared, there was a lineup of twelve people.
The audience below was shocked: the pomp was so big, and looking at their outfits, each one didn't look like a trick!
A song in front of the scene, a rush wind card.
The first main general and the second deputy general have not yet played, and the eighth lieutenant first turned over a dozen somersaults on the stage, looked at the door, returned to both sides, and struck his head four times.
The somersault turned fast and steadily, and it was all hard kung fu, which was called the first to win people.
"Good! good!"
As soon as the fans in the audience saw this battle and kung fu, their spirits were immediately raised, and they clapped their hands and applauded wildly.
If you haven't listened to the lyrics, you should give a good shout with these hard skills.
The eight lieutenants stood in all directions, the main general played by Chen Erkui came to the middle of the stage, the two lieutenants followed, and there was another person holding a mastiff dog in the side curtain to stand at the entrance of the big side stage.
Chen Erkui wore a purple and gold crown and inserted a feather behind him, a black and red python jade belt, wearing colored pants on his lower body, and stepping on thick soles.
"People are harmless to the tiger's heart, and the tiger is hurtful;
A certain is the general of the Jin State, Tu Anjia is also.
I am the lord Linggong is in power, and there are thousands of civil and military personnel, and there is only one article and one martial arts that he trusts: the literati is Zhao Dun, and the martial artist is a certain person.
The two of us are not in harmony with each other, and we often have the heart to hurt Zhao Dun, and we can't start fighting. ”
After Tu Anjia finished speaking, he shouted to the two people around him: "Ling Che, Zhou Jian." ”
As soon as the big gong sounded, the two lieutenants were in the same white: "Here!"
Tu Anjia read a rhyme: "When I was young, I had a banquet with my lord in Jiangxiao Tower, and ordered the two of you to hold the Taoyuan!"
Ling Che and Zhou Jian were in the same place: "Yes!"
The gong sounded again, and Zhou Jian and Ling Che took the eighth lieutenant to the scene.
General Tu Anjia came to the peach orchard, there are three former guards in the peach garden, there are several palace laves, and there are two eunuchs, and the scene is still very big.
Surrounded by everyone, a middle-aged man with a yellow python jade belt walked up to the stage.
Tu Anjia smiled flatteringly and bent down to stand beside the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man is none other than Ji Yigao, the Duke of Jin Ling.
When a faint king and a traitor get together, naturally nothing good will happen.
Jin Linggong wanted to drink for fun, but he was tired of the singing and dancing of beautiful women.
Tu Anjia gave him an idea, and the two monarchs and ministers held slingshots and hit the heads of the people passing by under the Qianxiao Tower, and the one with the most heads won.
Jin Linggong was very interesting: in order to relieve his worries, he put the bullet and beat a few people to relax. The slingshot hit continuously, and the people who only hit had nowhere to hide!
This Taoyuan slingshot scene can make the audience angry at the bottom, and Ding Mei also scolded in her heart: Taking pleasure in teasing innocent people, this Jin Linggong is really hateful,
The traitor Tu Anjia who gave him such an idea is even more hateful!
Feeling angry, Ding Mei looked at Su Mu beside her and asked curiously, "Husband, is this drama all about real history?"
Are there two characters in history, Tu Anjia and Jin Linggong?"
"Well, Jin Lingjun's original record should be on the "Zuo Biography", and he is indeed a faint king,
As for Tu Anjia, it seems that there are also records, only a few strokes, and the true image of this character is not clear.
The thing of hitting the people with a slingshot should be fictional, and the opera has treated them artistically, and you don't have to care too much about historical facts!"
Su Mu is a professor at the Faculty of Arts at Yenching University, so he naturally knows a lot about history.
However, after all, the Spring and Autumn Period is a bit old, and many people only know half of it, and what he knows is mostly literary historical facts.
Ding Mei felt that it made sense when she heard Su Mu's words, so she didn't delve into it anymore.
The absurd behavior of this pair of monarchs and ministers can make the audience outside the play feel righteous indignation, and naturally it also arouses the dissatisfaction of the upright minister in the play.
Wei Jiang, the secretary of the Jin State played by Wang Shiqi, and Gongsun Jiu, the doctor of the Jin State played by an old student of the Second Regiment, came over to advise the Jin Linggong.
After some refuge, Wei Jiang and Gongsun Pestle saw that the persuasion could not be successful, so they began to scold Tu Anjia.
Wei Jiang said to Tu Anjia: "You tempted the king with wine, supervised the construction of the Qianxiao Tower, worked the people and lost money, and today you beat the people, you are going to trap the lord for injustice!"
Gongsun Jiu immediately chimed in: "You are putting Li Min upside down!"
Wei Jiang then scolded: "A person like you who has brought disaster to the country and the people,"
Gongsun Usuki immediately echoed: "It's really innocent!"
Wei Jiang and Gongsun Jiu pestle sang on the stage, singing and singing like cross talk, which amused the audience below.
But Tu Anjia in the play is not light.
Tu Anjia scolded: "Two old horsemen, suffer death!"
He stood up, drew his sword, and tried to find Wei Jiang and Gongsun Jiu to fight hard.
Wei Jiang is also a military general, so he naturally didn't scare him, and he also shouted in his mouth: "Come on, you kill me!"
Although Gongsun Jiu was a civil servant, he also had a lot of backbone, and he followed behind Wei Jiang and echoed: "Come on, you first kill him, and then come and kill me!"
You must know that the righteousness of the people in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period came first, and they could not be humiliated, whether they were loyal or treacherous, they were very fierce.
The temper came up, even in front of the prince, he couldn't suppress the fire, he still drew his sword and slashed indiscriminately, and even the prince dared to cut when he was in a hurry.
There are not a few princes who have given their precious lives for this.
Jin Linggong was very smart, he saw that the three of them were not in a hurry, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Oh, what's there to quarrel about just such a trivial matter as building a building and beating people with a slingshot?"
Wei Qing, you have to lead the troops to the expedition tomorrow, you go back to the house to rest!"
"This?"
Wei Jiang heard the protection of Tu Anjia and the dislike of himself in Jin Linggong's tone.
He was not happy in his heart, but he was not good at disobeying his lord's orders, so he could only turn his head arrogantly and ignore no one.
Gongsun Jiu pestle saw Wei Jiang's posture, his heart hurt, and he hurriedly said angrily to Jin Linggong: "Lord Chenqi: The old minister is old and can't serve the king in the court.
Please take note of the old minister and return to the forest!"
Gongsun Jiu originally wanted to threaten the old man to return to his hometown, but who knew that Jin Linggong had long seen that he was not pleasing to the eye.
As soon as he resigned, Jin Linggong just pushed the boat down the river: "Well, Dr. Gongsun is over seventy years old this year and has reached the age of retirement.
Lonely to play what you play, you go back to your hometown!"
Gongsun Jiu sighed in his heart, and replied helplessly: "Thank you for your compassion!"
Gongsun Pestle looked to Wei Jiang with affection, and it was very enjoyable to reconcile with Wei Shangqing and Gongsun Doctor several times before, and before he left, he wanted to echo Wei Qing one last time.
Wei Jiang understood and immediately satisfied him.
So, they began to sing and harmonize again, what a joy!
Wei Jiang (Xipi Sanban) lord does not listen to advice,
Gongsun Usu, pestle (Xipi Sanban) took office and returned to the township manor.
Wei Jiang (Xipi Sanban) I was ordered to go to the border to fight,
Victory returns, and then the treacherous slander is destroyed.
After the persuasion of Gongsun Dafu and Wei Shangqing was ineffective, Zhao Dun, the old prime minister who Tu Anjia was very afraid of, finally appeared.
