Chapter 508: Cao Mengde's Official Position

"Huangmei Opera?!" Hearing Han Zhan say this, except for a few insiders such as Guo Jia, Chen Dao, and Luo Bu, the rest of the civil and military forces were confused. They looked at each other and asked their colleagues in low voices: "Do you know what Huangmei Opera is?" ”

"I don't know!" The person who was asked naturally shook his head and replied with a blank face: "This is also the first time I have heard of it. ”

Some people also replied: "There is a word 'opera' in the middle of Huangmei Opera, could it be the hundred operas we know?" ”

Guo Jia saw that everyone was talking, so he stood up and smiled at everyone and said, "Everyone, please be calm and don't be impatient, and go back to your respective places and sit down." It's not difficult to know what Huangmei Opera is. However, I can't explain it in a few words, and I still know after the girl from the music room comes. ”

It didn't take much time, and a group of musician women came to the main hall under the leadership of the eighth aunt. Seeing so many people sitting in the hall, they were all taken aback, and the eighth aunt had the courage to step forward and salute Han Zhan: "The concubine has seen Master Hou!" ”

"Eighth Aunt!" Han Zhan saw that the eighth aunt looked frightened, so he smiled and said to her: "Ben Hou is here today to feast Jizhou Wenwu, you can order the girls of the music workshop to sing Huangmei Opera for us!" ”

"Dare to ask Master Hou!" The eighth aunt asked in a panic: "I don't know which one to sing?" ”

Hearing the question of the eighth aunt, Han Zhan couldn't help frowning slightly, and then said: "Now that you are rehearsing the Huangmei Opera that you are familiar with, aren't there only two parts, and you will sing them all tonight, so that Benhou's subordinates can also see and understand." ”

The eighth aunt agreed, beckoned the women to take their places, and prepared to sing: "Girls, just arrange the usual rehearsals, take your places, and prepare to start singing." sang "The Female Horse" first, and then sang "Tianxian Pei". ”

The two civil officials sitting on the side heard what the eighth aunt said to the women of the music workshop, and one of them asked curiously: "Female concubine, such a strange name, how can there be a woman in this world to become a concubine?" ”

The person who was asked naturally didn't know what was going on, so he could only smile bitterly and say, "Brother Xian, don't be impatient, after a while, your doubts will be revealed." ”

By the time the women in the music room were in place and ready to sing "The Female Concubine", Rob had already brought the wine and food with someone. The officials, who had just started the feast, immediately stopped eating and drinking when they heard the women singing "The Female Concubine" and began to listen carefully to the beautiful singing of the women.

When the lead singer Xiang'er finished singing the first paragraph, Han Zhan first applauded: "Good singing!" ”

As soon as his words fell, everyone in the hall echoed: "Sing well, really sing well!" ”

Tian Feng even stood up and asked Han Zhan: "Lord, this song is so beautiful, it's the first time for my subordinates to hear it, but I don't know who created it?" ”

Han Zhan didn't speak, just laughed twice. Guo Jia, who was sitting at the bottom, hurriedly said: "Yuan Hao, do you need to say this, Huangmei Opera is naturally created by the lord." Even the "Female Concubine" that is being sung is written by the lord himself. ”

Knowing that Huangmei Opera was created by Han Zhan, Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, then gave Han Zhan a thumbs up, and said sincerely: "The lord is really a genius." ”

Han Zhan originally thought that according to Tian Feng's character, he might advise himself not to lose his mind, but when he heard that he actually praised himself, he was still a little surprised, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart. Taking advantage of his happiness, Han Zhan said to Wenwu, who was listening to him in the hall: "Everyone, if anyone likes to listen to this Huangmei Opera, they can send the singers at home to come over and learn to sing, so that even if you stay at home, you can hear Huangmei Opera at any time." ”

When Zhong Wenwu heard Han Zhan say this, they were overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and thanked Han Zhan together: "Subordinates (last generals) thank you lord!" ”

…………

Early the next morning, Xun Yu went to the court as usual. As soon as I walked to the palace gate, I saw many civil and military officials of the imperial court, gathered together and whispered. Seeing Xun Yu appear, everyone immediately became quiet, and they all turned their eyes to Xun Yu who was about to enter the palace gate.

"Xun Shaofu." The servant Zhao Qi walked out of the crowd, bowed to Xun Yu, and said with a smile: "Be polite and polite!" ”

Xun Yu is the governor of Ji, and he also holds the position of Shaofu in the imperial court, and the position is low for Zhao Qi, and when he saw that the other party took the initiative to come over to greet him, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Yu has seen Mrs. Zhao!" ”

Zhao Qi walked to Xun Yu's side, put an arm on his shoulder, led him towards the palace, and asked seemingly casually: "Xun Shaofu, I originally wanted to ask you to have a banquet in the official's mansion yesterday." It's a pity that after sending someone to go, I found out that you went to the governor's mansion. Why don't you go to the official mansion as a guest after the dynasty disperses today? ”

Xun Yu is such a smart person, from Zhao Qi took the initiative to greet him, he guessed that the other party must have known that Jizhou Wenwu went to the state pastor yesterday, he just wanted to know what everyone went to the state pastor mansion for. After all, some time ago, Yang Qi and others in the service were demoted to Qingzhou, which once made hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China tremble, and it is estimated that many people stayed up all night last night, just to find out what Han Zhan was doing when he summoned his subordinates.

Seeing the hundred officials in the distance, he looked at him with a panicked face, even Zhao Qi beside him had an unnatural expression, Xun Yu smiled faintly, and then said: "My lord said that Cao Mengde, the Taishou of Dongjun, is a capable minister who governs the world, and if he is just a Taishou, it will be too condescending." My lord asked me to sponsor Cao Mengde to His Majesty as an official on his behalf. ”

"Is that true?!" When Zhao Qi heard this, he couldn't help but stop and asked in surprise: "Yesterday, Hou Zhaoer of Anyang and others entered the mansion just to sponsor Cao Mengde to enter the court as an official?" ”

"That's right, that's exactly what happened." Xun Yu smiled and asked, "Isn't it because the servant doesn't believe what this official says?" ”

"No, no." Zhao Qi hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "How can this official not believe in Xun Shaofu's reasoning, just asked so casually, and asked Xun Shaofu not to take it to heart." ”

The civil and military officials in the distance, seeing Zhao Qi and Xun Yu talking and laughing, expected that last night's incident might have nothing to do with him, so they also walked towards the palace gate. When they approached Xun Yu, they also took the initiative to greet him: "Xun Shaofu, be polite and polite!" Xun Yu saw that so many officials took the initiative to greet him, and he also greeted everyone one by one with a smile on his face.

When everyone came to the court, and as soon as they stood in their places, a small yellow door came out of the curtain beside it, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived!" As soon as the words fell, Emperor Han Xian swaggered out and appeared in front of the civil and military officials.

After the civil and military officials finished the salute, Xiao Huangmen walked to the middle and shouted in a sharp voice: "If you have something to do, you will leave the class if you have nothing to do!" ”

As soon as Xiao Huangmen's words fell, the eyes of the civil and military officials involuntarily turned to Xun Yu, because everyone knew that he had a good performance. In the eyes of everyone, Xun Yu walked out of the queue generously, bowed down to Emperor Han Xian and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" ”

Emperor Xian of Han also got a secret report, knowing that Han Zhan had summoned Jizhou civil and military forces into the palace, he was worried that Han Zhan would be unfavorable to him, so when he heard Xun Yu say that there was a music, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. However, in front of the civil and military officials, he still forced a cheerful face: "What is Xun Qing's doing!" ”

"Your Majesty." Xun Yu knew from the attitude of Zhao Qi and the others that if he didn't explain things clearly, the people present were afraid that they would not be sure, so according to the caliber discussed with Han Zhan last night, he first praised Cao Mengde fiercely, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the lord of my family thinks that Cao Mengde is a rare and capable minister of the world, and it is too condescending to let him serve as a mere guard." I beg His Majesty to send down a decree and recruit Cao Mengde to the court as an official. ”

Knowing that Han Zhan convened the civil and military affairs of Jizhou last night, it was actually to recruit Cao Mengde into the court as an official, Emperor Han Xian couldn't help but be stunned. After a long while, he asked tentatively: "Xun Shaofu, Anyang Hou will let you play this matter on your behalf?" Nothing else? ”

"There is nothing else to do."

Xun Yu's words reassured Emperor Han Xian, he originally thought that Han Zhan's recruitment of Jizhou civil and military affairs might be in danger of his position. At this moment, when he learned that the discussion was only to discuss the entry of Cao Mengde into the court as an official, he put down the boulder in his heart and asked casually: "I don't know what official position the Marquis of Anyang thinks I should grant Cao Mengde?" ”

"The post of Taichangqing in the court is vacant," Xun Yu had already studied with Han Zhan what official position to grant to Cao Mengde, so in the face of Emperor Han Xian's inquiry, he replied confidently: "Cao Mengde can be awarded this position." ”

Tai Changqing is an official in charge of the sacrifice, and although his position is high, he has no real power. Not only did Emperor Han Xian manage so much, as long as it did not threaten his status, he would agree to all the requests made by Han Zhan. He coughed lightly and said, "Quasi-play!" Where is Matthew? ”

Hearing Emperor Han Xian's order, Ma Riyan, who was standing in the queue, immediately walked out and bowed: "The minister is here!" ”

"I named you an angel and went to Cao Mengde in Dongjun to issue an edict and grant him the position of Taichangqing." Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked at Ma Riyan and said, "Order him to enter Beijing as soon as possible to take office." ”

The civil and military officials on both sides of the column couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard Emperor Han Xian's decree to recruit Cao Mengde into the court as an official. Last night, when they learned that the civil and military capital of Jizhou went to the state pastor's mansion, these people became frightened birds, worried that Han Zhan was going to make some big moves, so that everyone was in danger, and at this moment, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they learned that it was just to discuss recruiting Cao Mengde into the court as an official, and naturally no one would oppose Han Zhan's proposal.

Seeing that Emperor Han Xian had prepared the holy decree and handed it over to Ma Riyan to go to Dongjun to announce the decree, Xun Yu re-emerged, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister still has this music!" ”

Emperor Han Xian suddenly stirred, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, looked at Xun Yu and asked tremblingly: "I don't know what else Xun Qing has to do?" ”
