The beginning of the scene immediately attracted the attention of all the officials in the Lu Mansion, calmed down for a while, and began to watch quietly.

Six of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties were born in the Northern Song Dynasty, which shows the prosperity of the literary style of the Northern Song Dynasty. The invention of movable type printing brought the culture of the Song Dynasty to a new peak in history. Although the entertainment life of the Song people was not bad, the ordinary people could watch the fluttering and miscellaneous operas, and the literati had poetry and singing rewards, but in this era, there was no concept of opera repertoire at all.

For quyi drama, Lotte is just a second knife. In this scene, Lotte mixed many elements of drama and drama according to his memories, and from the perspective of later generations, it gave people a feeling of nondescriptry.

Lotte has a lack of experience in rehearsal, but it does not destroy the integrity and vividness of the story, and a group of female actors cover up their shortcomings with their acting talents, especially with the costumes of props, which blocks many defects.

Then the transformation of the backstage behind the scenes, and the plot was shown in front of a group of Lu Mansion officials.

Dramas and films like this kind of propaganda projects for political achievements, in the era after a thousand years, people will feel vulgar when they watch it. However, in the Northern Song Dynasty in the desert era of quyi drama, in the eyes of these officials, it was an amazing scene to express the words in a novel way.

The plot of this drama rehearsed by Lotte is very simple, there was a fire in Pingyu, mourning everywhere, the people were displaced, Chen Zhi County rescued people from the fire, the court distributed relief, and the victims moved to a new home after Pingyu rebuilt, and the people praised the benevolence and sage of today.

In the eyes of later generations, this is just a typical propaganda film of political achievements, but in the eyes of a group of officials on Jingbei Road, it is a completely different situation, although the play deliberately beautifies the image of the officials of Pingyu County headed by Chen Zhixian, but the central idea is to firmly grasp the wisdom of the official family and the greatness of the court, who dares to say half a word.

A group of female singers came to the front stage to say goodbye together, and the curtain slowly fell, indicating that this performance was also the end of the first drama in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Good!"

Lu An, who was sitting on the main seat, nodded his head, and the praise in his mouth was not only applause, but also praise.

After the rest of the officials heard the praise of the chief officer, they also praised each other.

Lu Anfu nodded again: "This drama can not only be enjoyed by us, but also watched by the people of Limin, so as to show the benevolence of today's officials!" While speaking, he turned his eyes to Chen Zhixian and said: "Pingyu can have this change, as a county parent Chen Zhixian has made great contributions, this official will report to the sky and listen, and ask for a reward for Chen Zhixian!" ”

The inspection team returned after a day of inspection in Pingyu, Lotte began to urge Chen Zhixian to repair the embankment and repair the bridge, and after Lu pacified the envoy and reported to the imperial court, Chen Zhixian would be promoted eight or nine times out of ten.

On the surface, he is urging Chen Zhixian, but in fact, Lotte can't hold on, or he will leave Pingyu to go to Caizhou on an errand soon, if he doesn't get some oil and water now, I'm afraid that people will go to tea in the future.

Just as Lotte was fishing for oil and water, 400 miles away, the trajectory of his life was shifting in an unpredictable direction.

***********************************

Tokyo Bianliang, Enfuku Palace.

Yeonbokgung Palace is a relatively independent palace area, outside the palace city. Yanfu Palace was a place of amusement for the emperor and queen, and the scale was not large at first. After Song Huizong ascended the throne, he was dissatisfied with the narrowness of the palace, so he expanded and built it on a large scale. After the expansion of Yanfu Palace, it was elegant and comfortable, and Song Huizong spent most of his time in this palace.

Song Huizong was indulged in enjoyment, and came to Yanfu Palace after the next court, and the book was also selected here. By Song Huizong's side, Jiawang Zhao Kai stood respectfully and respectfully to accompany him.

Jiawang Zhao Kai was named by Song Huizong as the promotion of the Imperial City Division, so that Tan Zhen, who was quite favored, also seemed to have lost his position, but it can be seen as a manifestation of Emperor Huizong's strengthening of centralized power.

If there is any turmoil in the Jingshi, what rumors, and some things between officials, the detectives sent by the Imperial City Division will collect information and Zhao Kai, and Zhao Kai will report to his father Huizong as soon as possible.

The Imperial City Division is not only responsible for reporting to the emperor many things that happened in the Jingshi, but also responsible for taking charge of the palace guards, such an important position is entrusted to Zhao Kai, which shows the trust and favor of Zhao Kai, the third son of Song Huizong, to Zhao Kai, the third son of Jiawang.

Zhao Kai is smart and studious, but there is a big mountain in Zhao Kai's heart, that is his eldest brother Zhao Huan, the more favored by his father, the more Zhao Kai's desire for that position is stronger.

Therefore, Zhao Kai is very discerning, and every time he comes to Yanfu Palace, his father Huizong has the opportunity to do something here, he must stay for more time, his father is good at calligraphy and painting, and he also likes calligraphy and painting, so the father and son also talk about it. At the same time, Zhao Kai also knows that as long as he stays by his father's side, his favor will increase day by day, and maybe he can really sit in this position in the future.

But Zhao Kai knew that he was perfect in calligraphy and painting, but he always fell behind, just because the person sitting in the prince's position was one year older than him, so he seized the opportunity and sat firmly in that position.

What can I do now, what I do is to compete for the favor of the saint, only by letting my father completely favor himself, can he acquiesce to the completion of the great cause of winning the heir in the future.

"This Pingyu Zhixian is a parent at a young age, and he is neat in his work, and the little officials under him are also a little talented!" Song Huizong, who was looking through the folds, nodded lightly, with a bright look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "If all the cities in the world are built according to this model, the risk of water can be minimized!" ”

Zhao Kai, as a prince, is even more promoted to the Imperial City Division, but he knows in his heart that interfering in court politics is a royal taboo, even if the relationship between father and son is cordial, he does not dare to trespass, which is also the reason why Zhao Kai can inherit the favor of Huizong, and said from afar: "My father implemented the three-rounding system to pick talents, so there are more and more young talents in the court, and the atmosphere of the court is changing!" ”

Hearing his son flattering himself like this, Emperor Huizong nodded and said: "This Pingyu Zhixian is an official at a young age, and if he is promoted again, it will inevitably hurt his character, so it is better to let him experience a few more years in office, and then transfer to Beijing as an official after he is old in the future!" ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Huizong set his eyes on an unfamiliar name in the song, and his eyes were full of approval: "This county official called Lotte is a little interesting, although he is just a county student, but this urban planning is good, and it is really a bit biased!" ”

It turned out that Huizong was reviewing the recital, which was sent by Lu Kai, the appeasement envoy of Jingbei Road, to ask for merit for Chen Zhixian, out of his love for Lotte's poetry, and his good impression of Lotte when he inspected Pingyu, and even Lotte was written into it by the way.

Lotto? How does this name sound so familiar! Zhao Kai said in his heart.

Zhao Kai was thinking in his heart, and he only heard his father say: "Third brother, although some people in this world are not good at reading, they have a bloody strategy for governing the world, and it seems that such people cannot be appointed by Yu Yu through the imperial examination......"

Hearing his father speak like this, Zhao Kai glanced at the music in front of Huizong meaningfully, and the words "Pingyu County Yazhu Si Letian" entered the eyes of the end Kai.

If I remember correctly, Shi Gou went to Caizhou Bai because of a Pingyu County official who called Lotte, and when Shi Gou came back, he asked the county official who was called Lotte to give him a magnificent Linjiang Immortal.

Not only Linjiang Xian, but also a lot of words that chant Fengyue are very elegant, even if they boast of their excellent calligraphy and painting skills, they can't write such sometimes delicate and magnificent poems.

Thinking of this, thinking of his father's father's sigh, Zhao Kai's eyes flashed a little, and he bowed and said: "Father, forgive the recklessness of the son, the son-in-law has something to report to his father!" ”

"Third brother, what's the matter?" Emperor Huizong was puzzled.

Zhao Kai replied: "The little official named Lotte in Pingyu County that my father just mentioned is an investigator under the command of the Imperial City Division, and the official residence is the captain of the Nine Pins. ”

The Song Dynasty's internal intelligence work was controlled by the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, respectively, and Song Huizong ordered Zhao Kai to raise the Imperial City Division, which itself had the will to strengthen the centralization of power, and it was reasonable for the Imperial City Division to send probes to the garrisons in various places.

After listening to Zhao Kai's words, Emperor Huizong nodded lightly with a smile: "The third brother really lived up to his father's expectations, and collected talents for me in the Great Song Dynasty to serve the country, do a good job, do a good job!" ”

The father did a good job, and Zhao Kai's body was a little lighter, and he hurriedly said: "Father praised falsely, the world is the world of my Zhao family, and what my son should do for the family!" ”

Emperor Huizong nodded.

Out of Yanfu Palace, Zhao Kai quickened his pace and came to the north corridor of Zuo Chengtian Gate.

In the north corridor of the Zuo Chengtian Gate, the famous Imperial City Division is located here, and when he entered the party, Zhao Kai ordered someone to call the officials to be officials.

Shi Gou came to the office almost at a trot, and said, "What is the matter with the prince's subordinates?" ”

"You send someone to Pingyu for a trip!" Zhao Kai instructed: "Do you remember the last time you asked someone for the first word to give to this king in Caizhou?" ”

Shi Gou replied: "Xiao Di remembers, this person is called Lotte!" "That's it!" Zhao Kai nodded, and ordered: "You send someone to find this person, give this person the captain of the Nine Grades of Shiyong, grant this person a tooth card, an official robe, and an official certificate, and make a case in the Imperial City Division, so that this person should not be public with anyone, and stand by in the public opinion." ”

Shi Gou was an official in the palace for dozens of errands, so he naturally knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he was busy receiving orders to go out to do things.

When Shi Gou was about to leave, Zhao Kai advised: "Remember, this person who calls Lotte is the hidden person of my company in Caizhou, and he has always been!" ”

With the prince in front, Zhao Kai knew that it was difficult for the supreme position to fall into his hands, so Zhao Kai made up his mind in his heart, anyone who was praised and praised by his father, he had to pay attention, and those who could be won over must be wooed, and those who could be included in his command must be received.

Waste grows and stands young, and all dynasties abound.
