Chapter 524: The Storyteller in the Teahouse

80_80857With the promulgation of the imperial court's will, it can be regarded as an official response to the authenticity of the rumors.

However, when public opinion has formed a torrent trend, it is already difficult to control it if you want to clarify and prove it.

Coupled with the delicate relationship between Xiaozong and Ye Yu over the years, under the association and brewing of the people, a matter of course has been formed.

As long as there are signs of anything, then people's gossip psychology will inevitably promote the gradual fullness of the storyline.

Nowadays, there have been many versions among the people, all of which are miraculously circulating Ye Yu's life experience, and even some old pedantic storytellers are mysteriously telling about the extraordinary birth of Ye Yu.

Just as every founding emperor in ancient times would have an auspicious omen when he was born, so an unusual person like Ye Yu naturally became a creative material for them to talk about and inspire.

Storyteller, the rise of this industry is actually mainly because of Ye Yu's influence. Because after Ye Yu finished writing several academic works, he began to write novels and stories with great pleasure.

Ye Yu's starting point was to curry favor with Emperor Zhao Gou, but he inadvertently led to the rise of the novel industry in the Song Dynasty.

In addition, Ye Yu successively improved printing and papermaking, which made paper books cheap and popular, so when the current writers began to be keen to write notes and novellas. The vigorous trend of various novels has a cultural trend in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

There are more people who write books, so the storytelling industry has naturally risen, and now in Jiangnan and other places, there will be professional storytellers on stage to speak in the teahouse every afternoon.

"The three emperors and five emperors of morality, the fame of the Xia Hou Shang Zhou. The five heroes are in the spring and autumn, and they rise and fall in an instant! There are several lines of names and surnames in the history, and there are countless barren hills in the north. The fields of the predecessors were collected by the later generations, and it was said that the dragon was fighting for the tiger. Ladies and gentlemen, the last book has been finished, and the story that Xiao Lao'er wants to tell today is different......"

On the front desk of the teahouse, a table, a chair and a fan, the old man over sixty years old gently twisted his beard, folded the fan and made a beat from time to time as a wooden ruler.

As soon as the old man's words fell, someone in the teahouse asked, "What's so different, is there anything new about this story?" ”

"yes, talk about it quickly!"

“……”

The old man stretched out his hand and motioned to press the noise of the crowd, pretending to be mysterious: "Oh, you really guessed right, what we are going to tell today is a fresh story, which happened this year!" ”

"Then you don't want to talk about it, you said it well, and there is a reward!"

"Yes, well said, there is a reward!"

Everyone coaxed, urging the storyteller on the stage to start quickly.

The old man saw that he had whetted everyone's appetite, so he gently slapped the folding fan on the table, and then said: "What we want to talk about today is Ye Yu Ye Chengtian, who is the most talented in the world and is now the marquis!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the teahouse suddenly became lively.

Although it is interesting to listen to the ancients, after all, it is a deed far from life, and now if you want to talk about the hottest topic at the moment, it is naturally like a fire with dry wood!

"Alas, speaking of today's An Lehou, you must be no stranger!"

As soon as the storyteller finished speaking, someone in the audience took over the conversation: "That's natural, who doesn't know that I am the first genius of the Great Song Dynasty!" Old man, don't sell it, just say it......"

"That's right, hurry up!"

The storyteller nodded, and then said, "You only know that our Hou Ye is talented and world-famous, so do you know that our Hou Ye has an extraordinary background?" ”

"I heard that it is the prince of the remnants of the people of today's Majesty, what is this new?"

"That's right, we still know that the emperor issued an edict not to admit this! You said that this father is too ruthless, he has abandoned his parents and children for more than 20 years, and now Master Ye has established immortal achievements for my Great Song Dynasty, but he is ruthless and does not recognize him, it is really too ruthless......"

"But it's not, in fact, from the time when His Majesty recognized Ye Hou Ye as his righteous son, I knew that Ye Hou Ye might be the illegitimate son of Emperor His Majesty, otherwise, how could he be a father and son lightly?"

"Then why doesn't His Majesty recognize this relationship?"

A person in the teahouse asked this question, and was immediately despised by everyone: "You pig brain, it's not that our emperor is biased, even if Master Ye is a prince, it is also an illegitimate child, how can you recognize each other lightly if you don't come from the right way?" ”

"Hey, what Brother Tai said is not comprehensive, in fact, in my opinion, it is still the master of Ye Houye, and the limelight and reputation far overshadow the current His Royal Highness the Prince. Do you think, if His Majesty recognizes his parents, will he be able to sit firmly as the crown prince of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future? ”

"Oh...... I see, I see, it's just a pity......"

“……”

"Okay, okay, it's better to talk less about this kind of thing, listen to the old gentleman......"

The old man who told the story just started talking, and before he started to tell the story, all the tea guests in the audience had already begun to discuss.

When the hustle and bustle of the crowd gradually stopped, the storyteller continued: "If you want to say that our Master Ye is from an extraordinary background, it is said that the moment Master Ye was born, a strange fragrance suddenly filled the entire mansion, and the sky was full of thunder and lightning out of thin air, like the claws of the Nine Heavens Dragon were about to swoop down......"

Hiss......

Seeing this, the old man said that the teahouse was quiet, and when the old man saw this, he spoke hard: "Seeing that the baby is about to be born, oops, something is wrong, I saw the night sky with dark clouds, and a thunderbolt hit the roof directly!" ”

And at this moment, a flame like a rainbow directly landed in the night sky to block the thunder, and then this flowing rainbow with teeth and claws very similar to a fire dragon turned into a red light and disappeared into the room. Then a baby cried, and suddenly: thunder and lightning were gone, the sky was scattered, and the rain poured down......"

The atmosphere in the teahouse was hung by the old storyteller several times up and down, and it was not until this moment that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn't you say that Master Ye Wen Kuixing went down to earth, why did the rainbow fire come out?"

"yes, is there anything special about this?"

"Old man, go on......"

While shouting, everyone threw the copper plate in their hands into the money basket without hesitation.

The generosity of these tea guests, the storyteller was also energetic, so he tore off his lips and talked eloquently: "You don't know what kind of rainbow fire is this, but the Nine Heavens Red Dragon has descended to the earth......

"Ah, I'm a good girl, doesn't that mean that Master Ye may be the real son?"

"Hey, alas, listening to you say this, it's really a little possible, you say, when King Fu rebelled, the three-way army was overwhelmingly besieging the capital, and it was a million army boundless, but what was the result? Wasn't it burned clean by Master Ye's fire? ”

"Well, we've heard about this too, it was really a divine fire at that time, surrounded by fire dragons everywhere outside the capital, burning all the rebels' millions of troops to death, I used to think it was a bit exaggerated, but now it's really possible to talk about it hey!"

"Yes, since Master Ye is the red dragon of the heavens, it is naturally more miraculous than us mortals, he is a fire dragon himself, and it is not an easy matter to burn those bastards?"

The storyteller unfolded the folding fan and made a silent motion, and these people who listened to the book also tacitly stopped the discussion and gathered their eyes on the stage.

"What you guess is true or false, Xiao Lao'er doesn't dare to assert it, but the story of the Red Emperor's beheading of the White Snake, you must have also heard of it, when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, beheaded the White Snake with the body of the Red Emperor, and finally laid the foundation of the Han Dynasty for 400 years!"

Seeing that everyone was stunned, the storyteller paused, and then said: "Little Lao'er is a storyteller, so let's talk about Master Ye's specific life experience." Father, little old man, needless to say, you all have an answer in your hearts......"

And his mother is the sister of Chai Shuxia, the Chongyi Gong of Qingyuan Mansion, and her maiden name is Chai Wanyue. Alas, speaking of this Chai Wanyue is really hard, she was twenty-eight years old, and she was elected to the palace because of her beautiful appearance, and then because of her ......"

The old man who told the story talked eloquently, I don't know what to use as a blueprint to tell Ye Yu's life experience, anyway, it was said very smoothly, and it was quite legendary.

All the tea guests in the teahouse listened to it with relish, and some even listened attentively, and they forgot to drink tea.

In a high pavilion room in the teahouse, two people were leisurely drinking tea, and they listened to the sound of storytelling from outside the room with different expressions.

The younger man was Xu Shilin, the general judge sent to Fuzhou by the imperial court, and the older middle-aged Confucian student, with three wisps of beard, showed his majesty, and it was Zeng Di, the pacification envoy of Fujian today.

"Father-in-law, it is really a great rebellion to spread rumors in the market like this, Shilin will arrest the storyteller and put him in prison to eliminate the root cause!" Xu Shilin stood up as he spoke, preparing to go out to arrest the storyteller.

Zeng Di waved his hand and sneered: "That's it, a storyteller, even if you catch it, what's the use?" Can you gag everyone? At present, this situation is not only in Fuzhou, do you want to arrest them all? ”

"This ......"

"You, you, if you have to think twice before acting, since your majesty ascended the throne, your majesty's words have been extraordinarily relaxed, if we punish the people because of a few inappropriate words, wouldn't it be contrary to your majesty's original intention and regulation?"

"Besides, the more you stand up for it, the more it will intensify the contradictions between the government and the people. It will make them even more convinced that what the storyteller is saying is true! The more you describe the darker the truth, you should understand......"

Xu Shilin sat back in shame and said embarrassedly: "It's Shilin who is reckless!" ”

"You have entered the officialdom day by day, and the pedantic atmosphere of the books on your body still cannot fade. You must know that the knowledge of officialdom is very different from the books you read, and you can't get through this official career with just a bookish spirit! ”

For the beloved son-in-law in front of him, Zeng Di taught him earnestly, hoping that his son-in-law could integrate into the big dye vat of officialdom.

"Shilin obeys the teachings!"

Zeng Di picked up the teacup and sighed: "How did we come here, it's better to be more restrained, otherwise the fate of Admiral Shen Jinchuan will not be far away from us......
