Seeing that Fu Zhu seemed to be saying something, Han Zhan raised his hand to stop him, and continued to say with a serious expression: "Liu Xuande is not worried, but his two righteous brothers are brave, if Ben Hou can get the help of the two of them, it is tantamount to a tiger with wings." But if Liu Xuande is killed, these two loyal and courageous righteous brothers will definitely avenge him, and then we and them will become endless rivals. Gong and, think about it, is this cost-effective? ”

Hearing Han Zhan say this, it was difficult to continue to say a lot of words that he had prepared. He knew very well in his heart that Han Zhan had always been eager to seek talent, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei must be the people he had been thinking about for a long time, in order to let the other party remember his kindness, he did not hesitate to let go of Liu Xuande, who was against him, just to leave a good impression in the minds of Guan and Zhang.

Han Zhan saw that he was still unwilling, and added: "Gonghe, now Liu Xuande is only around Zhang and the two, Wenchen Jian Yong and Sun Qian are still in Jingshi, he is already a toothless tiger, even if he returns to Gongsun Zhan's side, do you think with Gongsun Zhan's belly, he will hand over the soldiers and horses to a defeated army who has lost his soldiers and generals in the future?" ”

At the mention of Jian Yong and Sun Qian, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Han Zhan's heart: "Gonghe, although Liu Xuande and Benhou do not deal with each other, Jian Yong and Sun Qian under him are also talents, you have the opportunity to have more contact with them to see if you can recruit them." ”

"What if they refuse to submit to the Lord?" After asking this, without waiting for Han Zhan to speak, he made a slashing posture and said to himself: "In the opinion of his subordinates, it is better to eradicate them to prevent future troubles." ”

After Han Zhan and the others finished speaking, he shook his head slightly and said: "Gong is not the same as this, the talents in this world are willing to assist Ben Hou naturally to be reused; Those who are unwilling to help Ben Hou indicate that Ben Hou still has something to do well, so that they are unwilling to submit. There is a saying - only the virtuous are based on it. ”

After hearing Han Zhan say this, he hesitated for a while before he cautiously reminded, "Lord, what you just said is wrong. Mencius once said that the world is the world of the world, not the world of one person, only the virtuous live in it. ”

After being reminded by such a reminder, Han Zhan suddenly remembered that the words he said casually were said by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years later. He couldn't help blushing, and covered up: "It's still a well-read public and well-read, and I know a lot, but Ben Hou said it wrong." ”

He coughed lightly, and then continued to say to Fu Zhu: "Gong He, now Ben Hou will hand over two things to you. The first is to find a way to entrap Jian Yong and Sun Qian, and find a way to recruit them under the command of Benhou; The second is to continue to send people to divide Yang Qi and the degraded courtiers, so that they must be separated from each other and can no longer work together to deal with Benhou. ”

Waiting for the frustration to leave, Han Zhan estimated that at least two incense sticks had passed, and he didn't know how the girls in the backyard were rehearsing? Han Zhan instructed Luo Bu and said, "Luo Bu, Ben Hou plans to rehearse Huangmei Opera at home these days, if an irrelevant person asks to see him, there is no need to inform Ben Hou." ”

"If Guo Junshi and General Zhao ask to see them!" Rob asked tentatively, "Do you want to report it to the lord immediately?" ”

"You idiot," Han Zhan raised his foot and gently kicked Luo Bu, and scolded with a smile: "Guo Junshi, General Zhao and others are Ben Hou's right-hand men, if they have something to see Ben Hou, just lead them directly to the backyard." The irrelevant people Benhou said refer to those courtiers in the court who do not deal with Benhou, understand? ”

"My subordinates understand!" Rob hurriedly agreed: "If irrelevant people come to visit in the future, my subordinates will definitely stop them." After saying this, he paused for a moment, and then asked Han Zhan for instructions, "Lord, I don't know where we are going next?" ”

"Where else can I go?!" Han Zhan glared at Luo Bu and said angrily, "Naturally, I went to the backyard to see how the girls in the music workshop brought by the eighth aunt were practicing." ”

The two walked towards the backyard, and they were still far away, and they vaguely heard the singing coming from inside. Han Zhan stopped and listened confidently, feeling that it was still like that, and he couldn't help but be impressed by these Lefang women in his heart.

Luo Bu stood behind Han Zhan and listened carefully to the singing voice coming from the courtyard, and couldn't help but say with emotion: "Lord, what kind of song are they singing, although this kind of singing is the first time I have heard it, but don't say it, it is really good." ”

Han Zhan has always been worried that he will let Huangmei Opera appear in advance, I am afraid that it will not be accepted by the people of this era, and at this moment, when he heard Luo Bu also say that it was good, his heart was somewhat more steady. He waved his hand forward and said, "Let's go, let's go to the courtyard and listen." ”

The eighth aunt, who was directing the rehearsal of the girls in the music workshop, saw Han Zhan enter the door, and hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile on her face: "Master Hou, you are back." Let's see how we're doing. ”

Han Zhan was outside the courtyard, and when he heard the singing in the courtyard, he still looked like it, and after seeing the situation in the courtyard clearly, he pointed to Xiang'er who was stroking the qin and asked the eighth aunt: "Eighth aunt, Xiang'er is singing Feng Suzhen, what are you asking her to play the piano for?" ”

Hearing Han Zhan's statement, the eighth aunt said with a surprised face: "Master Hou, when the girls in the music workshop are singing, they all sing while stroking the qin, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Of course not." Han Zhan pursed his lips and said: "This kind of Huangmei opera launched by Benhou, the horn of the singing opera is only responsible for singing, and the accompaniment is other people. As he spoke, he pointed to Xiang'er who was stroking the piano with his hand, "Xiang'er, from now on, you just need to concentrate on singing, and you don't need to play the piano anymore." ”

Xiang'er stopped stroking the qin, got up and saluted Han Zhan, and respectfully agreed: "Xiang'er obeys!" ”

"Master Hou!" The eighth aunt understood that the Huangmei opera launched by Han Zhan was very different from what she knew before, so she asked modestly: "There is still something I want to ask about the concubine." ”

"If there's anything, just ask."

"There are also a lot of male characters in the play." The eighth aunt was embarrassed and said: "The concubine can't find another group of men to play with Xiang'er and them, right?" ”

Although the defense of men and women in this era is not as serious as that of later generations, if a group of men and women sing together, I am afraid that it will still attract criticism. He thought for a while, thinking that the actors who sang Yue Opera were all women, so it was better to let Huangmei Opera also sing with women.

Thinking of this, he said to Bagu: "Bagu, although there are many men in Benhou's play, you can also let women sing their roles." In this way, I'm afraid there will be no gossip. ”

When the eighth aunt heard Han Zhan's words, her eyes lit up, and then she nodded like pounding garlic, and said in a loud voice: "It's still the Hou Ye who has thought it through, and the concubine will go to the music shop to select people and let them sing Huangmei Opera." ”

When the eighth aunt called the women again and started singing, Han Zhan walked towards his room. He was anxious to go back and revise the inappropriate parts of the original "The Female Concubine", so that the eight aunts could finish the rehearsal of this play as soon as possible.
