Chapter 174: The Western Capital City Opens
Lian Zeyu looked at Shang Xuesleeve, who judged the two of them once they were on the stage, he saw Shang Xuesleeve, counting this time, it was only five sides; When Shang Xuesleeve saw herself, she was only two-sided. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The coquettish appearance on the stage made him feel as if she was blaming herself: Why did you leave Huodu in such a hurry? Why did Shichengguan miss you too?
He relentlessly substituted himself into this scene, unprecedentedly, the depths of his heart were like digging a well with honey, and the wisps of sweetness soaked his limbs and bones.
But in this sweetness, there is a sour feeling - what is going on with that little student?
The little student was looking at Shang Xue's sleeves with love on his face, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his eyebrows were long, and his two hands were holding one of her water sleeves.
And she was full of spring, just with the involvement of that little life, she took two steps back and took a step, and her mouth was singing "Don't lose his good spring night for a moment", as if she was going to relive her husband Mandarin Dream who was reunited after a long absence.
Lian Zeyu felt "Teng", as if a fire was burning in his heart.
His eyes became deeper and deeper, and he was a little regretful, he shouldn't have come to see this play, but he felt that if he couldn't see Shang Xue's sleeves like this, he would regret it even more.
The charm on the stage was fleeting, the drums became rapid, and the "Living Dream Plum" ended, which also meant that Wang Hui disappeared from Zhang's dream.
Lian Zeyu squeezed out the crowd, and when he looked up, he found that there were already many sergeants sitting on the wall next to the opera garden.
The cold air made him sober up all of a sudden, and someone next to him whispered: "Your Highness, someone wants to see you, saying that it was sent by Master Cheng, and it is the person who has protected the Xinyin Society all the way." ”
Lian Zeyu nodded, the person Cheng Siyuan could send out must be the guards in the Ding army that was left to him at the beginning, no wonder he could recognize himself among so many people.
Because it was too lively here tonight, and there were many people, the guard didn't salute, but when he saw the prince who had lost his news for many days, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement: "Your ...... Your Highness? ”
Lian Zeyu didn't look back, he thought for a while: "You continue to follow the merchant master." If she can persuade her to play this play, let her stop acting it, if she can't persuade her, I'm afraid it will attract attention in less than three days...... It wasn't going to be possible to break the city then, but you had to follow her anyway. ”
The guard said, "The master of the merchant class is not a person who can listen to persuasion...... Otherwise, should I say that His Highness meant it? ”
Lian Zeyu was silent for a while, but still shook his head: "No need." You take care of the merchant owner. ”
――――
Shu Di several times "Life and Death Hate", the Western Capital is a dream person.
The former's "Life and Death Hate" was performed several times in a row, and Qiao Baopu's performance added fuel to the fire, and the integrity of the Xijun literati had already been aroused.
Those who were officials in the city of Xijun also had a lot of midnight dreams, deeply reviewing their mistakes of being more and more timid and riding on the wall the more they became officials, and recalled their ambition to serve the country when they were young.
This wave has not settled, and "Dream of Spring Boudoirs" has been performed in the Western Capital for several days!
In the western capital that is under siege, there are two sentences in "The Dream of the Spring Boudoir" that circulate among the troops defending the city - "Poor and uncertain riverside bones, who were once the people in the Spring Boudoir Dream".
Not to mention whether they have wives and children in their hometowns, but once they go to the battlefield, life and death are fateful, maybe they will be dry bones in the battlefield. Morale was not high, and after a few days of circulating among the sergeants, morale became more and more low.
If he really died on the side of Cisse, he died to defend his family and fight with Fanzi, and he sacrificed his life for the country, it would be worth it.
But now they are facing their own people, just like in the play "Dream of the Spring Boudoir", maybe they will die at the hands of their fellow countrymen...... How to think about this, how awkward!
What shook the morale of the army even more was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent people to shout outside the city every day, shot countless notices into the city, and magnanimously said: Both inside and outside the city were originally soldiers raised by the state, but because of Liu Shun's own selfishness, he had to turn against each other, and he was really not even a thief, as long as the city was opened, he would not be blamed for the past.
Xun Wumei, a great poet who has been living in seclusion in Xishan City, was visiting friends in the Western Capital for a while, and after he saw the premiere of "Dream of the Spring Boudoir", he improvised a poem from an ancient poem "Shang Ling" on the spot:
smoke cage cloud cliff moon cage peak,
Jin Mingge is cold to the west city.
Shang Ling is still worried about the national disaster,
The spring boudoir is an ancient style.
This poem was widely copied that night, and the next day it was spread in the western capital, and there was no shortage of people reciting it in the tavern tea house, but before the poem could be circulated out of the western capital, the city gate was opened.
It was not the surrender, but the soldiers of the city suddenly opened the gates of the city at night.
Although there was a gap with Lian Zeyu's expectations, he and Li Yu immediately led the army into the city, but all those who encountered resistance were killed, but in an hour, his Ding army and Li Yu's Huodu army quietly took over the county guard and Liufu, and even the families who were related to Liufu or had close contacts were also guarded.
When the people heard the sound of horses' hooves on the streets at night, how could they dare to open the door?
And some officials who knew the opportunity had already hurriedly changed their official uniforms, and sent people to inform each other of their colleagues - if this matter is credited, the fewer natural people the better, but before they could muster up the courage to open the city and surrender, His Highness had already fallen from the sky! Obviously, the credit is gone, and it is very likely to be convicted, so naturally we have to pull some more people together.
When it was the fifth watch, the officials of the Western Capital, large and small, stood in the front yard of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and everyone sweated on the back of their spines on a cold day!
Lian Zeyu had a little leisure, and called the small group of soldiers who had opened the city at the beginning and presented the heads of the generals who defended the city in the western capital, and said: "You have made great contributions tonight, you can report your names to Lord Li, and there will be a reward at that time." ”
Those people were grateful, and then heard the prince ask: "It is a righteous act for everyone to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but why did you steal the city gate tonight?" So they put a man out and answered.
But the more Lian Zeyu listened, the worse his face became.
As he expected, at most, Shang Xuesleeve's play will attract people's attention if he sings it for three more days.
Because Shang Xue's drama is casual for the sergeants to enter, and they don't need ticket money, the defenders who are not on duty often go to the broken theater garden to watch the play.
Moreover, Xun Wumei is a very important literati in Xijun, and he wrote such a poem for Shang Xuechong, in the eyes of the county guard, Xinyin Society naturally became the culprit of confusing the people's hearts.
Since he had the intention of catching them all, the guard general who defended the city, who was also Liu Chuanmou's wife and brother, took people to the theater and waited until the play was finished before ordering the arrest of people - which led to a mutiny on the spot, and dozens of defenders who were watching the theater clashed with the guards he brought with him.
But Liu Chuanmou's wife and brother brought a lot of people and weapons, but the soldiers who watched the play were scattered and had no organization, so in the end, the Xinyin Club and his party were taken away with Xun Wumei, who came to the play every night. (To be continued.) )
