Chapter 95: Jingshi is shaken
Zeng Jian is still a scholar after all, and he admires the piano very much, but his attitude towards storytelling is a little ambiguous. However, the next day, when Zeng Lu set off to return to Beijing, he was full of confidence, because he saw the sensation caused by this commentary in Xuanfu.
On the first day of opening, there were a lot of people outside, but they were all watching from afar, waiting to see the joke. The next day was completely different, before dawn, the door was already crowded with people, and when the morning bell rang, Xie Hong and his party arrived, the team had already lined up from Houdefang to the fourth archway.
I don't know how long Xuanfu Town hasn't had such a lively scene, you know, it's winter, and it's early in the morning to line up outside, what a sin! But on the contrary, this happened so naturally, and no one in the whole city felt wrong, and those who were not in the queue were beating their chests and regretting it.
Even in the governor's yamen, there was one who was on duty yesterday, and he went to report to the governor if he didn't know the situation, but he only got a reprimand, but Governor Zhang had no other instructions. These people are also puzzled, with so many people gathered together in this city, isn't the governor afraid of accidents? You know, Xuanfu is a border town. When the insider said it, these people also understood, so it turned out to be the case......
Fascinating storytelling, heart-warming lyrics, immersive layouts, and mysterious musical instruments...... Fun, emotional, and most importantly, anticipatory and curious, the name of Houdefang spread throughout the Xuanfu in an instant, becoming the center of attention, and this trend swept away to the capital with Zeng Lu's carriage......
When Xie Hong talked to Zeng Lu in detail, he had already discovered that this old man was powerful. Originally, he was just thinking of some rough plans in his heart, but after he put these things forward, Zeng Lu quickly perfected them into detailed plans and implementation details, and through Zeng Lu, Xie Hong also had a deeper understanding of the family of this era.
The capital is too big, and if you want to cause a sensation like Xuanfu, you can't rely on storytelling alone, and the conditions are not suitable. There is only one piano, there is only one Maang, and Ling'er is even more unique, and the success of Houdefang is also closely related to these, and it is definitely not possible to copy it to the capital.
Xie Hong thought of a way to go to the capital to spread the news of Xuanfu, only to say how interesting this commentary is, how the people of Xuanfu like it, and then how beautiful the lyrics are, and how beautiful the tune played by the new instrument is...... Spreading the word and revealing only a few words about the specifics should be appealing enough.
When the news spread to a certain extent, Zeng Lu found Qian Ning with the transcript of the transcript, and sent the things into the palace through Qian Ning, which should be done.
Zeng Lu also felt that Xie Hong's plan was very good, so he asked him for details, such as how to spread the news, who to spread the news, etc., he didn't mean to make things difficult, but because he valued Xie Hong too much, he just asked for advice. But where does Xie Hong know so much?
He hadn't even been to the capital, and he was speechless when asked by Zeng Lu, but fortunately, Zeng Lu's own experience was very rich, and he perfected these details one by one, and the next day after seeing the reaction of the Xuanfu people, he went back to Beijing on the way.
With such an old and spicy character to implement the plan, Xie Hong is also relieved, in the next few days, he will put down the affairs of Zhengde for the time being, and will be busy with the affairs of Defang, after all, this teahouse is where he is fundamental.
……
Beijing, Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
A young man in a yellow robe lay on the table weakly, and said with a sigh: "Li Gongmou, Liu Gongju, Xie Gongyou Kankan, where is Scholar Xie Kankan, from noon to Shen, he said for two hours!" My ears are still buzzing...... Lao Liu, you are giving me a review, is it too much to thank Scholar Xie? ”
Liu Jin waved his hand at the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting on both sides, and when there was no one, he echoed indignantly: "Isn't it, doesn't Your Majesty occasionally ride a horse and wander around the palace city." These scholars don't know if they are full of food and support, this little thing has been entangled for half a month, and it is sparse and admonished, it is really too unusual, and it is too unreasonable to take Your Majesty in your eyes......"
"Okay, okay, you stop, I have a headache......" The young man straightened up, although the expression on his face was lazy, his eyes were very smart, and the dark eyes were rolling around, obviously the mood in his heart was completely different from his expression.
Of course, this young man is Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao, and now he is only a fourteen-year-old boy, facing a group of old men every day, no wonder he feels depressed.
"Lao Liu, is there anything interesting lately? Like that music box, well, or like that Seven Pagoda...... Speaking of that pagoda, I remembered Imperial Physician Gu, that person was so funny, I wanted to laugh when I remembered that day he smashed the pagoda. Alas, how come such an interesting person is old, and I still think that I can tease him if I have nothing to do......"
"This ...... Not really. Liu Jin lowered his head, slandering in his heart, and teasing him, that old Gu came to the palace so once, and half of his life was gone, so it was strange that he dared to come again.
Then he secretly scolded his son, this little bastard is really unfavorable, he hasn't seen anything delivered for so long, I don't know if our family is waiting here? Hmph, when we finish serving the emperor today, our family must clean him up!
"Forget it, Lao Liu, you accompany me on horseback." Zhengde stood up and commanded.
"But Your Majesty, Scholar Xie and they ......" Liu Jin was startled, the last time Zhengde rode around the palace, he was besieged by a group of ministers for half a month...... The emperor was only verbosed a few words, but our family was shouted and killed.
"Whatever, I've finished reading the chapter, and I can still say a few words for them, I'm bored to death, let's go......" Zhengde didn't drag his feet at all, and went straight to the door of the main hall. Liu Jin secretly complained in his heart, but he had no choice but to follow behind.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, great joy......" As soon as he walked to the door, suddenly there was a shout from afar, and then a big ball of meat ...... No, it was a fat man who ran in, Zhengde was startled, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Gu Dayong.
"Dayong, what are you doing here, why are you sweating profusely." Gu Dayong was very hurried when he entered the door, and almost bumped into Zhengde, if it was another emperor, maybe he would be angry, but Zhengde smiled and didn't care, and asked with concern.
"Your Majesty, there are good things, very interesting......" Gu Da panted, but his tone was like a kidnapper for a child.
Zhu Houzhao is a child, so he was fooled, as soon as he heard the fun, Zhengde's eyes lit up, and he urged repeatedly: "What a good thing, take it out quickly, show it to me, don't gasp, move quickly......"
Gu Dayong was also anxious, gasped a few breaths, and finally breathed evenly, and then said: "Your Majesty, you sit down first, but this thing is not for playing, but for the slave to read to you......" As he spoke, the fat man mysteriously took out a notebook from his arms, if Xie Hong was here, he would definitely feel that this scene was familiar, and this fat man was free from selling pirated CDs.
"If it's not as interesting as you say, I'll punish you to clean the stables." Zhengde was very anxious, and the fat man betrayed the guanzi again, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and while walking back to the throne and sitting down, he also threatened the fat man.
"Your Majesty just listen, if it's boring, the slave can be punished whatever your Majesty wants......" Gu Da walked to Zhengde's side with a smile, didn't care about his intimidation at all, flipped through the book, and read aloud: "The world will be divided for a long time, and it will be ......divided for a long time."
"Isn't it the Romance of the Three Kingdoms...... Liu Jin muttered sourly, in the past few months, he has been in the limelight in front of the emperor, but today he was robbed of the jackpot by Gu Da with this dead fat man, and he had heard this himself.
"Shut up!" Zhengde and Gu Da shouted in unison.
"Yes......" Liu Jin responded aggrievedly, like an angry little daughter-in-law.
Liu Jin has heard it, Zhengde has naturally heard it, and he also likes this novel very much, so although he doesn't know why Gu Dayong looks like a treasure, Zhengde still listens to Gu Dayong's storytelling with his surname, and he thinks that Gu Dayong shouldn't be able to play tricks on himself.
His trust was quickly rewarded, and after a while, Gu Dayong talked about what had been changed by Xie Hong and Ma Ang.
"Knife energy...... Sorcery...... Blue Dragon"
One noun after another made Zhengde's eyes light up, he patted his thigh and smiled: "It's so interesting, this person who writes comments can really talk nonsense." ”
"Ahem, Your Majesty, please be quiet......" Gu Dayong was talking about it, and he was interrupted and almost forgot the words.
"Dayong, you continue, you continue, I listen quietly......" Zhengde has no consciousness that he is the emperor at all, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes is very sincere.
This talk was another two hours, and by the time Gu Dayong finally stopped with a dry mouth, it was already completely dark.
"Da Yong, go on, what's next?" It was also two hours, but Zhengde's eyebrows were dancing this time, and his spirit was flying, and as soon as Gu Dayong stopped, he quit.
"Your Majesty, slave maid...... It's gone below. ”
"I know you're gone, I'm talking about the commentary." Zhengde was helpless.
"What the slave is talking about is also a storytelling, and the author wrote here, and there is no more under the commentary." Gu Dayong was even more helpless.
Zhengde was angry, slapped the table, and shouted: "How can this be reasonable, how can the author say that there is no such thing, is he also a eunuch!" ”
"Your Majesty, that's not it, this commentary is serialized, and the slave maid brought a manuscript......"
"Then go and get the author, I'll listen."
"This ...... The storyteller is in a teahouse in Xuanfu, which is the Houdefang that has been very powerful in the capital recently...... Your Majesty, don't you remember? It's the teahouse with a new musical instrument called the piano, yes, that's the one where the slave and maid copied the lyrics to His Majesty, or the slave and maid sang to you? ”
"Well, the piano one, I seem to have heard, what kind of lyrics, you sing and listen to it, I have been tossed by several scholars in the past few days, and it is not good to remember my surname."
"This song is sung before the story, and it is also about the Three Kingdoms, which is very appropriate." Gu Da sang with a vigorous spirit: "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water......"
"Well, this song is good...... Zhengde beat it with his hand, while memorizing the score, and when Gu Dayong finished singing, he commented: "It's just that Dayong you sang too badly, like a wolf howling, who made the tune?" "He doesn't care about the lyrics, he cares more about the songs.
"This slave doesn't know, but the name of the owner of Houdefang is written on the manuscript, Your Majesty, you can see ......"
"Xuanfu Xie Hong? I seem to have heard this name, Lao Liu, have you mentioned it? Hou Defang, interesting, interesting, Hou De, is it possible that it means to wait for me? Zhengde suddenly clapped his hands and laughed.
Liu Jin and Gu Dayong are both Great Khans, this Long Live Lord's imagination is too rich, does anyone in the world dare to have such thoughts? You are the emperor, who dares to open a broken teahouse and wait for you, how stupid must that person be?
Of course, they never dreamed that there was indeed such a strange thing in the world, and that was Xie Hong. It's just that Xie Hong would be shocked if he was here, what is this, this is a heart-wow, could it be that Brother Cheng and Zhu Houzhao really had a fate in their previous lives? Otherwise, how could he have guessed the meaning of the name at once?
"Okay, Lao Liu, you drafted a decree for me, and announced that this Xie Hong would come to the capital to see me, this is a talent, if you just go to the people, it will be my dereliction of duty." Zhengde's face was solemn.
Long live Ye is too good at nonsense, obviously you are in a hurry to listen to the commentary, okay, but, Xie Hong? Liu Jin also felt that this name was very familiar, well, it wouldn't be that Xie Hong! It's also Xuanfu, so you can't be wrong. Liu Jin was shocked, the craftsman's matter had not yet been figured out, and he had done such a ...... You can't let him enter Beijing!
"Your Majesty, the slaves and maids are here these days, and the prince is also keeping an eye on them, if they know about it to Scholar Xie......"
"That's right." Thinking of Xie Qian, Zhengde shuddered and said distressedly: "Then what should I do?" ”
"Your Majesty, this is also simple, the slave maid sent the Jinyi guard to the Xuanfu to keep an eye on it, let that Xie Hong write it quickly, and then send it back to the capital with a fast horse." Gu Dayong heard Liu Jin mention Wang Yue, and also echoed.
"That's the way it goes." Zhengde waved his hand helplessly, "Okay, I'm tired too, you go down first." ”
"Yes." Liu and Gu retreated.
……
"I said it's useful, why don't you say hello in advance when you get this thing, which catches our family off guard." As soon as he went out, Liu Jin questioned Gu Dayong.
"Lao Liu, serving Your Majesty is not your business alone, our family is also the people around Your Majesty." Gu Dayong didn't show weakness, "You took the credit for those treasures before, is it possible that our family is not allowed to relieve Your Majesty's boredom?" Although I don't know why you didn't let Your Majesty summon that Xie Hong just now, but our family didn't make trouble for you, right? ”
"Our family just mentions, you don't have to care about Brother Dayong, why wouldn't our family let you serve Your Majesty, hehe, if Wang Yue's old thing is still possible." At the mention of Xie Hong, Liu Jin was a little discouraged.
"Hmph, Lao Liu, it's good that you know, Wang Yue is our opponent, don't always point fingers at your own people."
"Okay, okay, big brother, it's the old brother who said the wrong thing, don't you accompany you."
"Hmph."
……
"Dad, you called me?"
"Smack!" Liu Jin waved his hand and slapped him, and roared angrily: "Bastard, what are you doing on this errand, what is going on with that Xie Hong who offered treasures?" ”
"Dad, didn't you say that a craftsman should just give him grace and scare him? Wait for my father to defeat the old man Wang, and then get people to the capital. "Eunuch Xiao Liu was a little stunned.
"Didn't we tell you to keep an eye on him? Why did he run to Xuanfu and make such a big move? Liu Jin was even more angry, he suffered a secret loss in Gu Dayong today, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee seemed to be aiming at him, and he was angry in his heart.
"But......" Eunuch Xiao Liu felt aggrieved, obviously you ordered, just keep an eye on him and don't let him come to the capital. But he also saw that the godfather must have been angry somewhere, he was suffering from the disaster of the pond fish, and it was useless to say anything, so he could only suffer it first.
"Father-in-law Liu, there is a scholar outside who said that he wants to offer treasures......" At this moment, a little eunuch came in outside, and he was startled when he saw the scene inside the house, and his voice trembled slightly when he reported it.
"What treasure? Isn't that solicitation order already revoked? Liu Jin was angry when he heard the 'scholar offering treasure' now, and scolded: "Let him get out of our house!" ”
"Yes." The little eunuch was startled, and ran out with a roll.
"Wait......" Liu Jin vented, his anger was a little gone, and he was a little curious, and asked, "What is he offering?" ”
"It's a book review."
"Let him in, let's see what the book is." Liu Jin was a little interested.
After a while, the little eunuch came back again, followed by a scholar, who was about thirty years old, with a somewhat elegant face and a somewhat white complexion, like a nerd.
"You're going to offer a book?" It was Eunuch Liu who spoke, what kind of identity Liu Jin had, how could he deal with any scholar, not to mention, Liu Jin hated the scholar the most today, his eyes squinted at the scholar, and he said with hatred in his heart: You kid had better not be surnamed Xie.
"Yes, the villain's surname is Xie, and his name is Sang Er, because of the homonym, some people also call the little thirty-two, or the third and second brothers......"
"Ahem...... cough cough Liu Jin didn't take a breath, coughed loudly, really said what is the matter, our family is Tai Sui today?
"Then, thirty-two, what book do you offer?" When Liu Jin was quieter, Eunuch Liu asked again.
"Father-in-law should know the story of the Three Kingdoms that has been rumored in the capital recently, right?" As soon as he talked about his works, the third and second brothers' eyebrows danced, "The villain was inspired, so he also wrote a ......"
"Oh?" Liu Jin is interested, today Gu Da is pressuring himself, isn't it relying on this commentary, if this scholar writes well, then our family will be able to press it back tomorrow.
“…… The little book is very creative, the villain wrote for three days and three nights, and finally finished writing the beginning, father-in-law, please see the ......" Thirty-two put the book in his arms with both hands and handed it over respectfully, "This is the villain's work "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"! ”
"Cute girl? What does that mean? Liu Jin had a sense of foreboding.
"It's to write the men in the Three Kingdoms story as women......"
"Poof!" Liu Jin took a sip of tea and sprayed Lao Yuan, and then said angrily: "Xie Saner, are you sarcastic about our family?" ”
"How dare the villain?" Thirty-two panicked.
"You still dare to quibble, you actually dare to write about what a man becomes a woman......" Liu Jin was trembling, one or two, this surname Xie is really too deceitful, one writes a review to steal the limelight of our family, and the other simply satirizes the lord directly! It's really the opposite. "Drag him out for me and cut him down!"
"Father-in-law spares his life, the villain is purely unintentional...... wow" Thirty-two cried and shouted.
"Dad, this person looks like a nerd, it shouldn't be intentional......" Eunuch Liu suddenly spoke, seeing Liu Jin's cold gaze, Eunuch Liu also trembled, and hurriedly said: "Anyway, your old man also needs someone to write a commentary, just keep this person, and his son supervises him to write, you see ......"
Liu Jin thought about it, it also made sense, waved his hand to stop a few eunuchs who were dragging people, and said gloomily: "Our family has always been tolerant, but if you dare to ridicule our family, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." Our family spared you with a knife above, and you entered the palace cleanly. ”
"Villain ......" Of course Thirty-two is unwilling, who will be a good eunuch.
"If you don't want to be stabbed from below, then change it back, it's better to cut it and drag it out......"
"Father-in-law and slow ......" Thirty-two's face instantly turned sallow, his whole body trembled, and he seemed to be dozens of years old, and said in a low voice: "Villain...... The villain doesn't want to die, so he depends on his father-in-law, and the villain is willing to enter the palace ......"
"Take him." Liu Jin waved his hand like a fly, and Xie Saner, who was paralyzed on the ground, was dragged out, and soon a scream came from outside.
"This person will be handed over to you, you little cub has kept an eye on our family this time, let him write something quickly, do you hear?"
"Dad, don't worry."
ps. Okay, Xiaoyu doesn't say it, everyone can see that the third and second brothers, one of the two masters who wrote the online article, got involved. What, you said that Xiaoyu deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, that is impossible, the arrangement of this dragon set is requested by the third and second brothers themselves, I don't believe you go to see his [bookid=2038247, bookname="Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it will tell you clearly, as a male writer, you must be ruthless to yourself, wow. This chapter is a bit too many words, but it's still one of the three more, and Xiaoyu will try to avoid it in the future.
