Chapter 704: Evening

(Some changes have been made to the previous chapter, please re-download and read)

Zhu Quan was about to say something more, but suddenly the eunuch at the door suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

Hearing this, they immediately stopped talking, turned their bodies and eyes to the door, and waited until Yun Xi walked in and bowed down and said, "I have seen Your Majesty (Imperial Brother)." ”

"Uncle Wang and brothers are exempt." Yun Xi said. Zhu Zanyi did not come to pay tribute this year, so he did not have to add the word 'prince nephew' to him alone.

When Yun Xi came from the Qianqing Palace just now, due to the delay of some unexpected things, it was almost the time for the banquet to start when he came, so he didn't have time to communicate with some vassal kings alone, so he took the hand of the second son Wen Yuan and walked to the high platform, let Wen Yuan sit down and sit down himself, and after watching Wen Yao and Wen Qi sit down under the service of the subordinates, he loudly announced the start of the clan banquet. At the same time, Yun Xi toasted a glass, and the princes and county kings below raised their glasses in response; Wen Yuan and other young crown princes, princes, county kings, and Zhenguo generals also raised the small cup of juice in front of them and drank it dry.

As is customary, after he has made a toast, he should start serving hot dishes; But at this time this year, the eunuchs and palace maids standing aside did not move at all.

Some of the people who were not well-informed were very confused, but most of them waited quietly for Yun Hee's next words.

Yun Xi paused, ate another slice of cucumber, and then said, "But this year's banquet is different from the style of previous years. ”

"In previous years, everyone ate, drank, talked and laughed, and I felt that although it was also very lively, because the content of most people's jokes was different, it was no different from everyone's private gatherings on weekdays, and it was difficult to fully fulfill the original intention of the emperor's grandfather to set up this party: to let all the clans talk to each other and deepen their feelings."

"Grandpa Huang thought about this problem when he was still alive, but there was no good solution. But this year, I thought of something and decided to try it out. ”

Yun Xi paused again, and said loudly: "First, you uncles and brothers are no longer allowed to choose their seats freely, and they will be arranged by me, and they are not allowed to change seats. ”

As soon as Yun Xi's words fell, Huang Fu came over with many eunuchs and told all the clans present with a smile, where is your seat; Children under the age of seven were also separated from their fathers and placed in separate places.

Some clans did not like Yun Xi's arrangement, but most people found it novel and had no objection, and went to their seats according to the eunuch's instructions; Seeing that most of the people obediently went to their new seats, those who resisted it had no choice but to obey orders.

Yun Xi ordered Wang Xi a few more words, and Wang Xi hurriedly retreated. Then he looked at the people below who were changing seats and thought to himself, 'There are so many things to consider in seating them, it's so hard, and I don't know how many brain cells have been killed.' Definitely not next year. ’

'Do you want to change it to a lottery in the next year?' Let Huang Fu or others come over and stand at the door very early, holding the box of the lottery and letting them draw lots. Well, yes, sometimes a completely random effect isn't necessarily bad. So it was decided. ’

Yun Xi, who had decided how to arrange the seats next year, looked sideways at Wen Yuan, who was sitting next to him, and said softly, "Wen Yuan." ”

"Daddy." Fumigaki replied.

"Go sit over there, sit with your brothers." Yun Xi pointed to the position of the child under the age of seven and said.

"Daddy." Wen Yuan didn't move, just looked at Yun Xi.

"What, don't want to go?" Yun Xi said.

"Dad, many people don't know their sons." Wen Yuan said with some fear.

Yun Xi knew that Wen Yuan was a little afraid of life, and after years of education by him and Xi Yao, he was no longer afraid of people who wore inferior clothes, but he was still a little afraid of people who could communicate on an equal footing, and he could answer the salute normally, but more communication would not work.

But he can't condone the continuation of this kind of thing: Wen Yuan is a person who will be the emperor in the future, how can he be afraid of life? So he said now: "It's not all living people over there, but also your two own brothers, and a few cousins you already know before, go and sit." ”

Wen Yuan still looked reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey Yun Xi's words, so he got up and walked over.

If Xi Yao was here, I'm afraid Wen Yuan wouldn't dare to disobey her words from the beginning, so he walked over obediently. In this matter, it seems that I can't play a white face, but Xi Yao's face is darker, but Xi Yi occasionally plays the role of a white face. But this is not surprising, Xi Yao and I do not allow Wen Yuan to be afraid of life, and I at least have the thoughts of later generations who feel that it is useless to be blindly strict, so Xi Yao thoroughly educates Wen Yuan according to the views of this era. Yun Xi thought.

After that, Yun Xi stared at Wen Yuan carefully, and finally put his heart down when he saw Wen Yuan talking to several other people. Although it should just be someone else pestering him, that's a good sign.

At this time, the seats of everyone present had been changed, and Yun Xi turned his head sideways to see Wang Xi reappear in the hall, and said loudly: "In addition to changing seats, I have a second point. ”

"It's about having people perform on a stage next to them so that people can talk about the same topics."

After saying this, Yun Xi looked at Wang Xi. Wang Xi nodded imperceptibly and walked out of the palace.

The clan members present had never heard of the word 'show', but they immediately guessed what he meant. Zhu Youwei frowned and said softly: "Using a new word, isn't it just opera, but also others?" But what else could there be? A storyteller? Or an acrobatic trick? It can't be an acrobatic trick, it's too unorthodox. ”

As he was thinking about it, he saw more than a dozen women dressed in different colors walk in, walk onto the stage, and perform a dance.

Zhu Youstew, who is proficient in art, immediately recognized that this is a very traditional court dance, which is said to have been handed down from the Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,000 years.

"It's really a good dance, and although this dance is performed by a woman, it's a very orthodox dance, and there is nothing obscene about it, so it's very suitable as an opening dance." Zhu Youstew muttered.

"What are you talking about?" Zhu Jixi, who was sitting next to him, heard the words of the stew, but did not hear it clearly, and asked.

You stew said lightly: "It is said that this dance has been handed down from the Han Dynasty." ”

Ji Xi is Ji Xi's third brother and the concubine of the former King of Jin. I don't know why, Youwei always felt that he was not right, and Zhu Hu also told him so, so he didn't want to talk to Ji Xi more.

Ji Xi probably also understood that there was an impression of stew, so he didn't speak again after hearing his perfunctory words.

After a quarter of an hour of dancing, it was over, and two people dressed in brightly colored clothes came up, first summed up the dance, and then reported the name of the next show, and then hurriedly walked off the stage and stood aside.

Yun Xi also chuckled at this time, took his wine glass and got down from the high platform dedicated to the emperor, and sat casually in the open space between the two people, chatting with the clan next to him, and talking about the program being performed on the stage.

Yun Xi got this, and it was naturally something that imitated the Spring Festival Gala in later generations. Although before Yunxi crossed, there were fewer and fewer people watching the Spring Festival Gala every year, and he actually only watched the Spring Festival Gala with his parents, which can only be regarded as a feeling; But he still remembers the days when he was a child and watched the Spring Festival Gala every New Year, and he also remembers the sensation caused by the Spring Festival Gala when he heard his parents say that it first appeared in the 80s.

In this era, there is a lack of entertainment, and it is impossible for anyone other than the emperor to enjoy countless novel performances on a regular basis, so Yun Xi is very sure that the Spring Festival Gala will definitely arouse their interest. As it turned out, they were really hooked and watched the show on stage intently.

In particular, Yun Xi also 'invented' a new form of artistic expression - cross talk. Yunxi feels that since cross talk was born out of traditional storytelling, it became popular in history during the Republic of China, and people should be able to accept it now; He didn't have much grasp of sketches, and he couldn't think of sketches suitable for this era for a while, so he didn't arrange sketches.

Sure enough, Yun Xi personally imitated one of Mr. Ma Sanli's works and wrote a cross talk that was a great success, causing everyone present to laugh.

There is another cross talk that satirizes the etiquette of Mengyuan is also very popular. This cross talk was written to satirize the nondescript etiquette in the early years of the Mengyuan Dynasty, if ordinary people don't know where the laughter is, but the clan present is very proficient even if they don't learn the etiquette, seeing the cross talk actors on the stage using exaggerated language and actions to perform the scene of the Mongolians meeting each other, countless people laughed, and laughed and talked warmly with the people around them. Yun Xi saw that there was stew and Ji Xi and they were very eager to talk about it.

However, the cross talk written by another Yunxi guide and an official of the Department of Culture and Propaganda is not very good, and everyone generally thinks that there is nothing funny.

Yun Xi recalled that the people of the Cultural Propaganda Department had gently advised him at that time, but he didn't care and insisted on writing this cross talk according to his own ideas.

It seems that there really is no subjective assumption in literature and art. Yun Xi thought to himself.

Of course, not all programs are funny, Yun Xi only thought of the Spring Festival Gala when he entered the lunar month, so there are only three cross talks this time, and the rest are songs, dances and operas, which can't make people laugh.

Among them, the songs are all hand-selected by Yun Xi, there is a song full of Jiang Hong, there is a song of Liu Sanchang, and there is a song of Su Shi's Mingyue - written in a modern tune hummed by Yun Xi.

In addition, Yunxi also found some big men in the army who sang very well to sing "Loyal to the Country" live. In fact, they are not very willing: the traditional concept of singing and dancing people is low; But Yoon-hee promised not to see them as advocates of excellence, and they reluctantly agreed to sing. "My Chinese Heart" was also put on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

Until the beginning of the year, ending with a song "Unforgettable Tonight", the "First Spring Festival Gala of the Ming Dynasty" ended successfully.
