Chapter 299: The Grand Theatre (Part II)
() The love was only on the right track after His Majesty summoned Concubine Xuan. Yang Yin summoned her at this moment, not to pardon her, but to ask her why she betrayed him and why she colluded with the rebels. At this moment, the facts told by the fearless Concubine Xuan are shocking. Concubine Xuan's family is indeed connected with the rebels, but on the one hand, it is to protect the clan, and on the other hand, it is also under pressure. Unexpectedly, the leaked news was used by others and became the reason for the persecution of Concubine Xuan and the Lin family. And when the Empire State Building was about to fall, Yang Yin didn't even seriously distinguish it, and when he calmed down and began to think about these questions, everyone in the Lin family who could be caught had already been executed, and Concubine Xuan was also tied to the stake.
In the repertoire, Yang Yin didn't have time to regret and apologize, so Concubine Xuan began a long list of questions: asking how the Tang Empire would fall step by step, asking why absolute power led to absolute **, asking why Yang Yin didn't have the courage to fall with the empire but secretly planning to escape, asking why the generals who were still stationed in Dì Dū didn't lead troops to resist the enemy, and why these last loyal and upright people couldn't even get together food and straw. Questioning what made the once prosperous Tang Dynasty become like this, and what made the Tang Empire and the imperial Yang family, who were determined never to repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty, become such a group of cowardly and useless people as they are now......
This half-hour-long duet is mainly carried out between these two horns, which are interspersed with various dragon tricks on and off the stage, reporting all kinds of bad news. And after the duet between the two ended, Concubine Xuan said that she would play another guzheng for Yang Yin, hoping that Yang Yin would allow her to go to the top floor of Xuanfeng Tower. She's going to watch tonight. Watch the rebels invade dì dū and watch the empire fall. And Yang Yin actually agreed.
After that, the two scenes were the scenes where the lords of the countries of the country gathered together to discuss the retreat from the enemy, and the scenes of everyone's hearts and minds, various ideas and wills constantly clashing were very beautiful. The other is an out-of-town battlefield. The struggles of the low-level sergeants and officers at the fall of the Empire, and then the rebels came and engulfed the desperate army that resisted.
After that, when the lords of various countries gathered all kinds of military forces to prepare for desperate resistance, Yang Yin arrived, and it was also when the dragons continued to report bad news, and everyone finally rose up bravely. Resolve is united. Yang Yin, as the last emperor, acquiesced in the reasonableness of everyone's respective states in the future, and also set up a plan to use the imperial palace and the entire dì dū as bait to ignite the entire city and the rebels to die together, so that everyone could break out separately. After sending off everyone who was preparing separately, he entrusted his children and several princes to Chen Jia. Then, as the emperor, he began to exercise power last, and he was still loyal to the loyal ministers of the imperial family. The scene is extremely pathetic.
The last scene is extremely grandiose. With a large cast and group dances and choruses, the performances of all parties in the dì dū fire are expressed. Concubine Xuan was on the roof of Xuanfeng Tower, watching the fire all over the city, singing compassionately and feverishly, but in that singing, she revealed a trace of joy. It is creepy to the madness of Concubine Xuan, but also to sigh in the era of heroes and knights. Woman's powerlessness. In the end, the whole play ends in the singing of the future lords, and each actor has to sing exactly the same lyrics, but they have to show completely different people's personalities, some forbearance and heroism, some joy and some sadness. This is the most difficult and brilliant scene in the whole play for the actors, but the constant repetition of the singing voice pushes the whole play to the most.
Tan Weiying succeeded. Even in the time and space where Ye Tao and Tan Weixin belong, such a big drama will inevitably cause a sensation, not to mention in this time and space where everyone doesn't have too many antibodies to this kind of thing. The whole performance took more than an hour compared to the two joint practice, excluding the intermission of a quarter of an hour, and the intermission of a sixth of an hour combined, and the audience applauded almost all the rest of the time. In the end, the whole troupe closed eleven times before everyone gradually left. And by this time, it was completely late at night.
In the grand theater that day, the representatives of those forces were shocked. There has never been a country where no one dares to treat the affairs of the previous dynasty with such an attitude. In the entire repertoire, the last emperor Yang Yin is a tragic but very complex person. And Xuan Guifei, who is full of accidents and drama in everyone's interpretation, has become an important clue throughout the entire repertoire, and because of Liu Xiang's performance, the impression left in everyone's minds is so deep.
If the audience present were people who didn't know much about the secrets of the empire back then, it was just a curiosity and appreciation to watch such a play, but when there are so many plausible and artistic real details running through the play, then everyone can't help but think about it too much. After the shock brought by the repertoire, everyone couldn't help but start thinking about whether the repertoire that Tan Weiying made out was instructed by Tan Xiaopei, what he wanted to say, and who he wanted to say...... And that's exactly what this play can do. In the whole troupe
After the excitement passed, they began to be disturbed by tiredness, and one by one, Tan Xiaopei, Ye Tao, Zhuo Mang, and so on gathered in a special VIP banquet hall in the Grand Theater, eating a sumptuous supper, while laughing and talking, as if the morning meeting tomorrow morning was moved here.
"Tonight, I don't know how many people can't sleep." Tan Xiaopei drank a cup of Bailing Tan and sighed. With him and many important ministers of the kingdom appearing in the audience at the same time, no matter how pure everyone's attitude is to watch the play, there will always be people who will reverie. And purely in terms of this repertoire, it is enough to make some fans so excited that they can't sleep. Even he himself was deeply moved by the singing passages in the play. The whole repertoire seems to bring the sorrow of the end of the empire to the eyes, although everyone knows that the repertoire is not reality, but it expresses stronger emotions than reality.

"Naturally, yes." Ye Tao replied with a smile: "Presumably, not many people dare to believe that this is just an ordinary repertoire made by Wei Ying." ”
"After all, the empire of the year is the empire of the year, how many years have passed, and fewer and fewer people can still know the events of the past. However, from today onwards, I am afraid that what everyone remembers is the story written by Ying'er. …… Ye Tao, the poems and sentences in the booklet that you and Xin'er gave to Ying'er at the beginning, it seems that a lot of them are really used in this repertoire. …… It is needless to say what the empire fell for at that time. The more you dare not say it, the more likely it will be to make the same mistake again when the world is unified in the future. I still know this. There must be people who think that Ying'er is presumptuous, disrespectful, and disrespectful to the ancestors, hehe. God knows. To say that my Tan family is still loyal to the imperial family in the end is already a shame for His Holiness. You must know that the old man of the Tan family was not such a good person, if it weren't for the papers, scrolls, gold, silver and jewelry that he and his subordinates snatched out of dì dū, where would it be so easy for me to establish a country? Can anyone do it when there is a war and govern? Tan Xiaopei said excitedly, but Ye Tao didn't talk.
Seeing that Ye Tao didn't know what to do, Tan Xiaopei said lightly: "You don't have to care. The old bandit and bandit of the ancestor of the Tan family actually robbed more documents than gold, silver and jewelry at such a time, and I was surprised for a long time when my father told us about our brother. It's a pity that my father can't see the grand occasion of Dongping today, if Dongping had today's strength, why would my brothers die on the battlefield. I, the lord of the country, have not yet known how to govern the country. The grand occasion of the past ten years is really thanks to Xin'er and you. ”
Ye Tao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Xin'er really knows how to operate, whether it is a city, a place or a country. I'm a big spender. You see, the start of Gangduo City, Yunzhou has had to suffer poverty for several years. ”
Huang Xuping said: "Is it possible for Yunzhou to support it?" Although the war with Northern Liao is about to start, there is still a lot of silver in the household department. ”
Zhuo Mang smiled and said, "Lao Huang, Ye Tao can believe it when he cries poor." Look at Xin'er's tossing of the inner mansion for not many years, and the inner mansion is almost on a par with the financial resources of the household department. It is true that Yunzhou is now full of places to spend money, but with Xin'er's ability, even if she can't say that she is rich, at least she can cope with it. Lao Huang, you are not an expert in financial schemes, you don't have to be cāo concerned about this matter. If Yunzhou's financial resources were really tight, His Majesty would have transferred the money from the Inner Government to build Gangduo, and he would not have so much money in his hands now to build a new capital. ”
As soon as Zhuo Mang mentioned the new capital, everyone's interest came up. After comprehensively considering various circumstances, the new capital city is still in the current Danyang location, and the current Danyang is included as an important area. To the west, the capital is guarded by the Wind Castle and the Iron Castle, forming an impregnable triangle. The canal project will be derived in the second phase, passing directly through the middle of the new capital city to ensure that the new capital city can enjoy the benefits of water transportation. After the construction of the new capital city is completed, the various yamen of the imperial court in Danyang will be moved, the royal palace will be moved, and all the residents will be relocated, and then the area of the current Danyang will be completely renovated, and the sewers and other infrastructure will be added in Danyang, and the old houses will be demolished. Naturally, the new capital city will have a royal palace that is in line with the dignity of the country in the future, but it is not very luxurious, and the original palace in Danyang will be transformed into a garden complex with beautiful scenery. The current hall will be named Lingyan Pavilion to enshrine leaders from all walks of life who have made outstanding contributions to the country. In the future, Danyang will be mainly used as a special area for culture, education and entertainment, and there will be a larger-scale library building, Taixue, Guozijian, Music Fang, etc., and the Grand Theater will still be one of the most important buildings. It will even be more important than it is now and become the core of the entire new Danyang District.
