Chapter 352: A big drama wins the hearts of the people
Before the emperor's wedding, Hou Defang was quite silent for a while, the original tongue-in-cheek lotus storytellers were gone, and the new book was gone, although it was not closed, but it looked not far away. 【Reading.com】
In fact, with the situation at that time, even if Hou Defang did not have that consciousness, the people did not dare to go, and no one could see the soldiers who set up card checks or patrols on the street, of course, they knew that the situation was tense, and according to the instinct of avoiding evil and seeking good fortune, no one would rush to get here.
But now no one knows that the wind and rain have passed, although there are still patrolling soldiers on the street, but these people are all under the leadership of Fanzi, who doesn't know that now Xie Hong has the power to the government and the opposition, and the factory guards are all his minions? At present, Houdefang is, of course, as stable as Mount Tai.
In the past, the people of the capital were busy with their livelihoods, and they drank tea and chatted in their spare time, and they didn't feel that there was anything bad about them.
However, after the edification of the two major leagues, current reviews, and betting and other rare things made by Xie Hong, if you don't look at the league, listen to the current commentary, or go to the betting point to place a few bets, everyone always feels that something is missing, and it is boring.
Fortunately, many readers don't know what is crazy, and they even let go of Sven, who is usually reserved, and ran to the street to scold the street one by one.
At the beginning, it was to scold the emperor and the plague god, of course, these people disappeared quickly, don't look at the fans of Jinyiwei who used to be like a group of wrecks, but that was because their original leader had a problem.
As the Times said: A group of sheep led by a lion is better than a group of lions led by a sheep, and now the Admiral of Jinyi is Qian Ning under the plague god, and he is naturally far better than before.
Then, the scholars began to scold the courtiers, but this time no one was arrested, so there were more and more people who joined the ranks of scolding the street, and the scholars scolded the street almost became a scenery in the capital, until the news of the reopening of Houdefang came, and the people who watched the scolding street shifted their attention and flocked to the royal park again.
So, when Li Dongyang and the other three of them arrived at the Royal Park, they saw a crowd of people in the dark, not to mention Houdefang, and even the gardens of the park were difficult to approach.
"This is also ......" Zhang Sheng originally wanted to make some criticism, but when it came to his mouth, he really couldn't say it. This is not above the court, and he doesn't need to show that he is not at odds with Xie Hong, but he has to take a false position with the snake, saying that these useless things are just to make the two companions laugh.
"That Xie Hong does have the ability to deceive people's hearts, but it is just a small commentary, but it can attract so many people to be so fanatical, if you don't see it with your own eyes, the old man is really hard to believe." Li Dongyang also smacked his tongue, and it took a long time before he let out a long breath.
He was already very concerned about Xie Hong's next move, and after listening to Yang Tinghe's message, where could he sit still? Showing the movements of the imperial court directly to the people is also an unprecedented move.
In the local yamen, if there is a big case to be tried, it is possible that the people will be watched, in order to show the fairness and integrity of the parents and officials, but what does the motion of the court center have to do with ordinary people?
Seeing the scene of the followers in front of him, Li Dongyang was really shocked and inexplicable, he didn't expect ordinary people to care so much about state affairs, otherwise how could so many people gather here?
"The two of you don't know, the one who is stationed in other tea houses is a commentator, but here in Houdefang is a little different." Yang Tinghe is very meticulous in his work, although he has never seen it in person, but he still went to find Li Dongyang after getting complete information.
"The drama staged here is said to be called a drama, which is somewhat similar to the opera, but there is less singing, and there is not too much verbal embellishment, but directly imitates the original scene, which is straightforward and vivid, so it is very popular with the general public."
"Drama?" Zhang Sheng was stunned for a moment, it is true that dramas and storytelling are popular all over the world, but there is really no drama that makes people so fanatically pursued, and there is no drama related to the court situation. Of course, since it was something made by Xie Hong, it was naturally different, didn't that time comment go beyond the scope of traditional commentary, and attract many listeners in a unique way?
"Li Yong, you go and take a look at the situation, and find a way for the old man and the two adults to come and have a look." said that it was a micro-service, but what kind of identity did the three of them have, of course they would not travel alone. Li Dongyang casually beckoned a family member and told the other party to go to the front station, he felt that he had to see Xie Hong's methods before he could have a response.
"Master, the little one knows, it's just ......" Li Yong glanced at the black crowd, his mouth was a little bitter, his own master usually doesn't come here easily, where do you know the fanaticism of these followers? Cut? Even if the people who maintain order in Houdefang ignore it, these people in line will not give up.
There is also a way, and that is to spend money to buy a front row order. With the vigorous development of new things such as Houde Fang and the league, a new industry specializing in ticket reselling and queuing on behalf of people has also come into being, as long as you find this kind of person and spend some money, you can save the pain of queuing to buy tickets.
It's just that the price of buying the order is changed according to the market, looking at today's posture, the silver spent is absolutely indispensable, and there are 100 taels of silver on his body, but it is a hard-to-find scene at the moment, where is this silver enough to see?
The only thing Li Yong can be fortunate about is that his master is not the kind of stubborn and rigid scholar, and he is much more mellow, so after he explained his family's hardships, Li Dongyang did not scold him, but just ordered the housekeeper of his entourage to give him silver.
After Li Yong squeezed into the crowd, Li Dongyang turned to the two colleagues and said with a wry smile: "The old man is a first-class official, a very good minister, and his monthly salary is only a few dozen taels, but he doesn't want to come here to watch a play for hundreds of taels of silver, which really makes the old man a little embarrassed." ”
"Li Ge Lao doesn't need to worry, then Xie Hong is already very good at these businessmen, which can be seen from his behavior in Xuanfu. In fact, as the younger brother can see, what he is best at is actually his weakness, if he can get the help of his Jiangnan colleagues, he may not be able to compete with him here. ”
Yang Tinghe had already gotten the news, and he had studied Xie Hong deeply, so he took this opportunity to bring up another topic.
"Oh? Jiefu seems to mean something, there are only three of us here, and you might as well say it bluntly. Li Dongyang's eyebrows moved, obviously Yang Tinghe had some ideas, so he would come to look for him, if he simply reported the news, he could just call someone to come, why do you need to work for him to come in person?
"The key is still ...... Jiangnan colleagues," Yang Tinghe lowered his voice and said in a deep voice.
"The old man also has this intention, but ......" Li Dongyang has also been thinking about it repeatedly in the past few days, and he has also thought of a lot of methods, including Yang Tinghe's point. But since the court meeting, Xie Qian has been cold-eyed when he sees him, and he doesn't even have a chance to speak, so how can he persuade him?
"If you can get the approval of Li Ge's elder, the younger brother is not talented, and I am willing to make a modest effort." Yang Tinghe smiled slightly, obviously thinking about these things, "The people who are worried about Jiangnan are nothing more than the fact that their own power in the court has lost too much, and they have been secretly guided by Xie Hong, so this is what they have done, if we wait, ......"
"Master, ...... vote" was whispering, Li Yong squeezed out of the crowd sweating profusely, and was happily waiting to show his merits, and it could be seen that several adults were discussing with a solemn face, and he immediately stopped. It's not that his city government is not enough, it's really not easy to get this vote.
"It's okay," Li Dongyang waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is not a place for discussion, Jiefu, Brother Baiya, let's go in first and see this so-called drama." ”
"It's up to Elder Li Ge." After all, this is Xie Hong's land, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no secret agents and other figures, and it is such a major matter to be discussed, of course, you must be cautious, Yang and Zhang also smiled and went inside with Li Yong.
Although a few of them are micro-suited, anyone can see that their identities are extraordinary, and they are obviously either rich or expensive. Although Xie Hong asked Hou Defang to strictly maintain order, he did not interfere with this kind of private ticket trading, and even let the audience of Hou Defang become accustomed to this, so Li Dongyang and the others did not suffer any difficulties.
Listeners know that these people are paying a lot of money, and there is nothing wrong with not queuing. And for Hou Defang, anyway, those ticket sellers have been registered by the management, whoever makes as many voices as they want, they will draw as much as they want, and the left and right are also a happy situation, so why interfere?
Xie Hong knows very well that spending money to buy privileges is a consistent business in ancient and modern times, and it is inappropriate to want to ban it.
When he was moving all the way, Zhang Sheng felt very uncomfortable. According to common sense, a court member like him, no matter where he goes, someone will come out to greet him from afar, even if he doesn't sound the gong to open the way, it's just because he is in the capital, if he is in the place, he is majestic.
But now let alone putting up a guard of honor, and even having to squeeze around with a group of people, even if it is to endure humiliation, it is inevitably a little too embarrassing. Zhang Sheng was ruthless in his heart, he was really a vulgar annihilator, he didn't even know the difference between upper and lower etiquette, even if he gained power, he would be full of evil in the future.
Waiting for the recent arrival of Houdefang, Zhang Sheng found that next to the original tea shop and billiards club, there was a new building, and there was more than one. This is not unusual, it is now used and built, this is Xie Hong's consistent style, and the original little black house is not like this?
This time the building is much rougher than the original ones, from a distance it looks like a big shed, several greenhouses from time to time will erupt a burst of cheers, one after another, there are many people who make a sound, but they are uneven, obviously the shouts of the audience.
Hearing these voices, Zhang Sheng felt a little happy in his heart, because there were few applause, but there were many people scolding, isn't this the so-called smashing? This annihilator finally reaped the consequences, he really deserved it! Drama is much more difficult than commentary, which can a vulgar person make up casually?
In addition to gloating, Zhang Sheng was also strange in his heart, it is said that since the audience expressed dissatisfaction and even scolded loudly, someone should leave the stage? Although Mr. Zhang has never seen a play outside, he still often watches it at home, if the play is not sung well, of course he will be reprimanded, how can he watch it while scolding?
What's going on now? Zhang Sheng was a little confused, until they entered a large shed and saw the scene on the stage, he suddenly realized, and then he was even more angry, almost scolding on the spot.
There are a lot of people on the stage, and the costumes on these actors clearly indicate their respective identities, a young man in a yellow robe sits in the middle, and most of the people on both sides are purple robes and python belts, and some people dressed as samurai surround them...... This scene is very familiar to Zhang Sheng, and even arouses the fear in his heart, but it is more anger, which is clearly playing the court meeting a few days ago!
Not to mention whether it is in line with the laws of the court to put the court on the stage, will it damage the prestige of the Son of Heaven and the scholars, just to say that the clothes on these people, the bright yellow dragon robes can be imitated at will?
What's more, just glanced at the scene on the stage, and then listened to those two lines, Zhang Sheng also realized what the audience was scolding, they were not scolding the drama for not looking good, but scolding the ministers of the DPRK and China.
"The criminal minister Liu Daxia...... Ink Favoritism...... The entrustment is not effective......" The young man who played Zhengde had a clear voice and was quite good, but this voice sounded like thunder and lightning in Zhang Sheng's ears, this is not just acting, but simply retelling the lines at the court meeting word for word.
“…… Pass the first nine sides, to thank the world! ”
"Okay, such a stupid and useless person should be killed, the imperial court spent so much money to raise soldiers, but it turned out to make them toss and lose everywhere, this kind of people are not enough to thank the world!"
"Yes, good kill!"
Zhang Sheng looked around blankly, and found that the people around him had completely lost their usual cautious appearance, all of them were excited, their faces were flushed, they waved their arms vigorously, and shouted loudly, as if the person they shouted and shouted to kill was not a scholar of the dynasty, not a big man who didn't even dare to look up before.
"Min Gui, you should say that you can't rob the people's daughter...... Zhang Fuhua, you are committing murder...... Su died, you ......" The performance on the stage continued, and the young man's voice was as cold as Zhengde said, with a murderous aura.
"A class of silverfish, all of them should be damned!"
"Whoever squanders the people's fat and ointment will not die well!"
The scolding continued, and if it weren't for some kind of amplification equipment used on stage, I am afraid that I would not even be able to hear the lines of the play. For Zhang Sheng, he would rather not hear these lines that make him resentful, especially if they can bring back his unpleasant memories.
"The Emperor Shengming!"
"There is a saint tomorrow in the court, and the Ming Dynasty is prospering!"
Gradually, the scolding disappeared, and was replaced by cheers and good prayers, which gathered together, like thunder, waking up Zhang Sheng and others in a daze, and several people couldn't help but look at each other in shock.
Are these still the meek sheep of the Ming Dynasty? Could it be that this is the purpose of the emperor and that Xie Hong? How can just a few plays gather the hearts of the people?
What a scheming this is! This young man is really terrifying, the three of them are all cold, shocked, they can't help but turn new thoughts in their hearts, although they have their own ideas, but the purpose is the same: Xie Hong's momentum must be curbed, otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will definitely lose the country!
