After Shen Jing listened to Li Mi's relay, he also fell into a long silence, it was rare that Concubine Wang Gong still remembered him, and he also set off a wave of memories in his heart, but he had already left the officialdom, what could he do?

Even if some old ministers were like him back then, they supported Zhu Changluo as the crown prince, but after so many years, the relationship has long faded.

The current situation is different, Zhu Yijun has already fallen out with the ministers because of the matter of establishing the prince, who dares to mention this matter at this juncture?

He Shen Jing was punished because he was on the wrong side and urged Zhu Yijun to make Zhu Changluo the crown prince, and the people who have been beaten and demoted because of this issue in the past few years are too many to count, who dares to mention this?

Li Mi saw that Shen Jing was embarrassed, and she was not in a hurry, Concubine Wang Gong was by no means a simple angry bag, among so many people, her choice of Shen Jing must show that Shen Jing has something extraordinary!

Sure enough, Shen Jing was silent for a long time before he said to Li Mi: "Concubine Gong asked you to come to me, in fact, I also know the reason, but it is not easy to do it now......"

Li Mi didn't interject, Shen Jing continued: "Although the old man is no longer in the officialdom, there are still some connections, what Concubine Gong takes a fancy to, and the old man also knows that it should be a little bit of incense between Shi Xing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the old man." ”

"This Shi Gongchen is a soft-eared person, he likes to listen to music, and he can also listen to persuasion, but after the old man was demoted, he returned to his hometown for many years, and his feelings have long faded......

When Li Mi heard this, he also suddenly realized that Shi Xing, the secretary of the military department, was the commander-in-chief of this war, and if he got the support of Shi Xing, the secretary of the military department, Zhu Changluo would be ironclad in his expedition on behalf of the emperor!

"Is there really no way?" Li Mi looked at Shen Jing, frowned and asked, but Shen Jing stared at Li Mi and said with a smile: "It's not that there is no way, but I want you to help the old man do one thing." ”

"Helping you with things? What can I do......" Li Mi was also puzzled, but Shen Jing didn't make a detour, but explained to Li Mi straight to the point.

"The old man has been away from Beijing for too long, and his friendship with Shi Shangshu has indeed faded, but there is a person who has been very close to Shi Shangshu recently, if he can say a few words on the side, this matter will be done."

This peak turned around, and Li Mi couldn't hold it back, and asked Shen Jing: "Who has such a great ability, and can persuade Shi Shangshu with three or two beautiful words?" ”

Shen Jing didn't say anything, looked at the sky, and said to Li Mi: "You come with me." ”

Li Mi was also puzzled, so he followed out, and after leaving the Qingfan Building, Shen Jing took Li Mi to a house at the mouth of the alley, let the subordinates knock on the door, report it, and was led in by the door.

This house is not very big, but in a location like Cypress Hutong, it can sit on a house of this scale, and the owner's family is also quite rich.

Shen Jing walked leisurely and took Li Mi to the study of the back house, but he saw a thin old man standing at the door, with a long face and heavy bags under his eyes, like a clothes rack, very elegant.

"Shen Lao'er, the old man has not eaten for the past two days, and his stomach is uncomfortable, if you come to quarrel, you can only change the day."

As soon as the old man said this, Li Mi knew the identity of this person, isn't this Tang Xianzu, who was known as the "Oriental Shakespeare" by later generations!

Tang Xianzu's status in the pear orchard line is undoubted, "The Peony Pavilion", "The Story of the Purple Hairpin", "The Story of Nanke" and "The Story of Handan" are also known as the "Four Dreams of Linchuan", until later generations, the Peony Pavilion is still the most classic repertoire!

Shen Jing was not cowardly towards Tang Xianzu's provocation, pointed at Li Mi, and said to Tang Xianzu: "I brought this young man here tonight, but I didn't quarrel, I came to kick the hall!" ”

When Tang Xianzu heard this, he also frowned, looked at Li Mi, and then at Li Mi, and then said to Shen Jing: "Who is this?" ”

Li Mi did not hide it, and said to Tang Xianzu: "The contemptible person is the deputy director of Dali Temple. ”

Tang Xianzu couldn't help but be stunned: "Li Mi? It's a familiar name......"

After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he was a little in awe, and said to Li Mi: "It turned out to be Lord Li, I was rude, earlier Shen Li, the great uncle of Shen Li mentioned to me, saying that Lord Li is striving to abolish the mining tax, and he is the pillar of my younger generation!" ”

Tang Xianzu walked down the steps and saluted solemnly to Li Mi: "Lord Li seeks the well-being of the people of the world, please accept the old man's worship!" ”

Where could Li Mi receive such a great gift, he hurriedly avoided it, and said to Tang Xianzu: "The great grandmaster can't be like this, it will torment the younger generation......"

Tang Xianzu also served as an official, and he had been serving as Dr. Taichang in Nanjing earlier, and he, like Li Zhen we mentioned earlier, was a "deviant" figure who advocated freedom of thought.

When he was in Nanjing, he had an argument with Wang Shizhen, a Confucian scholar, and even organized a team to find fault with the writings of Wang Shizhen and Wang Hongxue, and was a person who did not accept authority.

This is also where the main disagreement between him and Shen Jing lies.

Shen Jing believed that drama should follow the standard rhythm and tone, but Tang Xianzu encouraged creation, although the two were about the same age, they were incompatible in concept, or even diametrically opposed.

However, the two of them had the same experience in the officialdom, their careers were very unsmooth, and they ended hastily, Tang Xianzu was also demoted, and finally sent to Xuwen County, Leizhou, and simply resigned.

It's a little funny that after he handed in his resignation letter, he left without waiting for a reply to the official document, and when the court replied to him, he had been out of town for two or three years.

After all, Shen Jing has been away from officialdom for a long time, and he has never heard of Li Mi's deeds, but now when he heard Tang Xianzu mention it, he was in awe.

After all, not everyone can do such a thing as abolishing the mining tax!

In fact, the collection of mining tax cannot be said to be a bad thing, because the mining tax is to squeeze money from the hands of the rich, and the bad thing is that the executor uses this reason to oppress the people.

In any case, at that time, the abolition of the mining tax could indeed be recognized by most people, and Li Mi was naturally respected, not to mention that Tang Xianzu also mentioned that Li Mi was respected by Shen Li, you must know that Shen Li was one of the top ten moral models at that time!

Shen Jing saw Tang Xianzu like this, and his confidence was even stronger, and he joked with a smile: "Tang Lao'er, don't you think that you can almost hide from the initiative, you really came to kick the gym tonight!" ”

Tang Xianzu also said angrily: "I want to have tea with Master Li, you have to kick the hall yourself!" ”

Saying this, he pulled Li Mi into the study, and Shen Jing followed in, Tang Xianzu took the initiative to ask Li Mi: "Master Li is also interested in Quyi?" ”

Li Mi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I just like to listen......"

Shen Jing interjected: "It's not as simple as listening to it, Tang Lao'er, don't believe it, Master Li's singing and tunes are similar to yours!" ”

Tang Xianzu may not have made much achievements in officialdom, but when it comes to quyi, he never refuses to bow his head.

"No wonder, it turns out that Master Li is also an insider, and we have a fate to meet tonight, how about you let Lao Er feast his eyes?"

How dare Li Mi show off in front of the original author again, isn't this a big knife in front of the second brother Guan!

Li Mi waved his hand again and again, but he refused to speak, but Shen Jing was anxious, and opened his mouth to sing most of the garden dreams sung by Li Mi!

This made Li Mi feel extremely shocked!

You must know that you just sang it once, and the melody is the words in it, Li Mi can't remember it himself, and Shen Jing is already an old man, and he has the ability to never forget!

Tang Xianzu didn't take it seriously earlier, but after hearing Shen Jing finish singing, he trembled, grabbed Li Mi and pleaded: "My lord must sing it!" ”

Li Mi saw that his expression was different, and he no longer twisted, cleared his throat, and sang Li Yugang's version of the Garden Dream.

Tang Xianzu listened to this, and the whole person was stunned!

In fact, this is also Li Mi's own misunderstanding, he thought that Tang Xianzu had already written out the Peony Pavilion, in fact, the Peony Pavilion did not come out until the twenty-sixth year of Wanli!

However, Tang Xianzu has indeed been thinking about this play, he has been thinking about it in his heart, and he has secretly written some of it, and it is precisely because of this that he regards Li Mi as a god!

Because these drafts are even just belly drafts, many of them are just melodies and lyrics that are wrapped in his mind, and they have not been sorted out, even if Li Mi is very capable, it is impossible to steal the ideas in his head!

However, Li Mi sang it like this, and even connected all the fragments that he couldn't sort out in his mind!

Li Mi saw Tang Xianzu's reaction, and vaguely knew that something big had happened, but he was afraid that the Peony Pavilion really hadn't written it, and now he was only afraid that he would become a god!

Sure enough, Tang Xianzu's whole person was stupid, standing in place, unable to speak for a long time, holding back his old face red, and the last mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat actually fell softly!

Li Mi hurriedly called the people in the mansion over, and waited for a while before Tang Xianzu eased up.

Although Shen Jing didn't know the inside story, he only felt that Li Mi's singing was too consistent with Tang Xianzu's style, and when he saw this scene at this time, he also knew that Li Mi was only afraid that he was poking Tang Xianzu's touch.

After Tang Xianzu woke up, his eyes changed when he looked at Li Mi, and he became reverent, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge.

Li Mi also knew that it was not good to go on like this, so he glanced at Shen Jing, and Shen Jing said to Tang Xianzu: "What, you were kicked out of the hall by Master Li, right?" ”

Tang Xianzu came back to his senses and said to Li Mi: "Master Li...... Master Li is really ...... It's a handsome man, and the old man sighs to himself that it's not as good as ......"

Li Mi didn't know how to explain it, this kind of thing couldn't be explained at all, but fortunately, Shen Jing was also interested and said to Tang Xianzu.

"Since it's better to sigh to yourself, it's easy to do, Lord Li came here this time because I want your help......"

"Something?" Tang Xianzu was also a little puzzled, and said to Li Mi: "Lord Li is the deputy director of Dali Temple, a dignified six-grade official, and the old man is just a concubine, so what can help Master Li?" ”

Shen Jing was not verbose, and sent all the slaves and maids in the room out before telling the matter, and Tang Xianzu also suddenly realized.

After thinking about it, he said to Li Mi: "No wonder Uncle Shen Li has so much respect for Lord Li, Lord Li is worried about the country and the people, and he is really the lucky star of the Ming officialdom......"

Shen Jing said on the side: "Don't say anything nice, just say it, can this thing be done?" ”

Tang Xianzu looked at Li Mi, thought about it again, and then said to Shen Jing: "It's not impossible, but you can't be idle." ”

Shen Jing and Li Mi glanced at each other, and they were also a little puzzled, but Tang Xianzu explained.

"Half a month is the 100-day banquet of the Seven Princes, and that day happens to be Shi Shangshu's birthday, Shi Shangshu told the old man that on that day, Long Live Lord will invite him into the palace to listen to the play...... So he asked me to go to the palace and sing a ......"

"The old man didn't want to show his face, and he didn't agree, but now if he agrees, this matter will be easy to talk about......"

"It's just...... The singing in this palace is not as good as outside, there is no new repertoire that can be handled, and there is no need to go in to offer ugliness, but now it is different...... Master Li just needs to write down the repertoire of the right talent, and if the three of us form a team, if we sing a play, it will be a full house! ”

When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and his heart said that it was easy to write, but don't get involved with me, Lao Tzu is a dignified court official, how to pretend to be a clown to please the emperor, isn't this pushing Lao Tzu into the fire pit of traitorous ministers!
