Chapter 1189: A Dream of Huangliang
readx; Zhu You listened to Cao Bianjiao's introduction of Lu Yuansheng's previous performance, and said approvingly: "As the saying goes, heroes have been born out of teenagers since ancient times, and this is not wrong at all. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoβ the top novel, my two generals, Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng, are both under the age of twenty, and I am just seventeen years old this year! You are younger, to borrow the words of a great man: the world is yours and ours, but in the end it is yours. You young people are full of vigor and prosperity, like the sun at ** o'clock in the morning, and hope is pinned on you! β
Everyone felt that Zhu Youzhen's statement was very novel and vivid, but they still asked in surprise: "Holy Lord, which great man said this?" What time is it? β
Only then did Zhu Youzhen realize that he had slipped his mouth again, and quickly coughed twice to divert the topic: "What, ** o'clock is the timekeeping method of Westerners, which is equivalent to what we call the hour." By the way, Lu Yuansheng, are you from Huangliang Dream Town? Did the story of 'Huangliang Dream' happen there? β
Lu Yuansheng hurriedly replied respectfully: "Exactly." When the great genius Tang Xianzu traveled to the town, stayed overnight in the Lu Gong Ancestral Hall, the talent was springing, based on the Tang Dynasty's "Pillow in the Pillow", adapted into the Kunqu opera "Handan Chronicle", also known as "Huangliang Dream", since then it has been popular all over the country, and his other three masterpieces "Peony Pavilion", "Purple Hairpin Story", "Nanke Legend" together known as "Linchuan Four Dreams". β
Because he was not in a hurry to march, Zhu Youzhen smiled at everyone and said, "Do you want to listen to the play?" How about asking Lu Baihu to sing us a piece of "Huangliang Dream"? β
In this era, there are not many ways to entertain, and drama is one of them. Especially for the common people and military households with a low level of education, everyone can understand the drama, so it is loved by the people. After more than 300 years of development in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, there are many popular dramas in the folk like a cow's hair, among which Kunqu Opera, which originated in Kunshan, Suzhou, is deeply loved by the audience for its elegant lyrics, tactful lines and delicate performances, and has become the largest drama popular in the country.
These generals all love to watch dramas, especially Li Laiheng, Cao Bianjiao, and Meng Gong, who are all young people, and they like to be lively the most, of course, they applaud.
Lu Yuansheng couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm, so he had to smile shyly: "Holy Lord, generals, the last general can't sing, I can only talk about the plot, and I can remember some of the wonderful lyrics in it." β
Everyone is not picky, and they all say that it is okay to talk about drama. Lu Yuansheng said: "This "Huangliang Dream" is about the Tang Dynasty, Lu Dongbin, the pure yang son among the eight immortals, went down to a small village near Handan, which is now Huangliang Dream Town, and stayed in a small inn.
He met a Confucian surnamed Lu in the inn, at this time the shopkeeper was cooking yellow rice for the guests, when the two were chatting, Lu Sheng sighed that he had not met his talents, but he had achieved nothing at the end of his age. Lu Dongbin asked him what his ambitions were, and Lu Sheng said: The eldest husband should make meritorious contributions to the name, enter the prime minister, eat at the top of the list, choose the voice and listen, and the clan is flourishing, so that he can be proud.
Lu Dongbin felt that Lu Sheng was acceptable, so he gave him a magnetic pillow. Lu Sheng came up sleepy and fell asleep with a magnetic pillow, but he dreamed that he first met a beautiful woman, became a son-in-law, and then entered the imperial high school and became an official in the court. After going through the ups and downs of officialdom, he was repeatedly framed by traitorous ministers, and was almost beheaded by the emperor by mistake, but he also did several major things, and led the army to defeat Tubo, and recorded his merits in the Tianshan Mountains. In the end, the official worshiped the prime minister, crowned Zhao Guogong, and rewarded 5,000 households, 10,000 acres of fertile land, and 24 beauties.
Lu Sheng has been the prime minister for more than 20 years, full of children and grandchildren, and he is extremely honorable, until he finally returned to heaven in his eighties due to excessive indulgence. His wife's cry woke him up, but it turned out to be just a dream. In my dream, I have lived for decades, but in fact it is only a short moment, and even the pot of yellow rice has not been cooked. Lu Sheng had an epiphany because of this, so he followed Lu Dongbin to cultivate immortals. β
After everyone heard this, they were all amazed by this bizarre plot, but Zhu Youzhen was quite enlightened and fell into silence. Recalling the experience of crossing into this time and space by mistake and finally ascending the throne as emperor after ups and downs, it is really like a dream. Sometimes Zhu Youzhen even wonders if he is really just lying on the top bunk of the university dormitory and having a ridiculous dream, and this dream will wake up at any time?
But everything around him was telling him unmistakably that this could not be a dream, but a completely real existence. Because in a dream, it is impossible to feel a world so real, so grand, and so detailed, and in this world, how many incredible things he has done, how many sentient beings he has influenced, and how many unforgettable joys and sorrows he has experienced! If this is really a dream, he already belongs to this dream, and he will never wake up!
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen came back to his senses and smiled faintly: "The play is a good show, but the ending is a little decadent." What you can do in a dream may not be the same when you wake up. It's just that everything Lu Sheng does is to make meritorious achievements and enjoy glory and wealth, in other words, he is busy for himself, and of course everything is empty when he dies.
"But each of us is born in the world, not only for ourselves, but also for our families, for the nation, for the community. In this way, even if you are old and dead, your achievements will still be remembered and praised by future generations, and your career will still be passed on by future generations. In this way, you will not become empty like a dream, but will remain in the world forever. There is a word that means, 'immortal', and that's what it means. β
Everyone was immediately taught, and Zhu Youzhen hurriedly smiled: "Haha, it's just a play, it's just a fun, you don't have to be serious, we should continue to hurry." β
So laughter resumed on the way, Zhu Youzhen especially liked Lu Yuansheng, and deliberately asked him: "If you are the commander-in-chief of this counterinsurgency, how do you plan to fight?" β
Zhu Youzhen often asked other generals similar questions, with the aim of cultivating their thinking ability and strategic vision. Lu Yuansheng thought for a while and replied: "The last general thinks that the rebels are especially small, and the thieves are really worried. If the last general commands, all the officers and troops of the whole country, including the soldiers of the nine sides, must be transferred to extinguish the thieves in one fell swoop. β
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Zhu Youzhen also smiled: "Although it is a little unrealistic, your vision is still very unique." Yes, if the country is a person, the thieves are like cancer cells, if they are not completely eliminated in time, they will turn more healthy cells into cancer cells, and in the end, all the internal organs will become cancer cells, and the person will die. But if a person dies, cancer cells cannot survive, and for a country, it is not just a change of dynasty, but the death of the country and the species. β
Lu Yuansheng didn't dare to ask the emperor what a "cancer cell" was, so he only heard Zhu Youzhen say helplessly: "Why don't I want to use the strength of the whole country to extinguish the thieves in one fell swoop." Unfortunately, the country is too big, and the border troubles are even more than the thieves. The Jianlu and the Mongols are eyeing the Guannai all the time, and I really don't dare to draw more border troops! β
Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen's thoughts were no longer in the present, but instantly crossed Yanshan Mountain and the Great Wall, and flew to the Saibei Snow Plain where the cold wind called.
