Chapter 462: No Peace in the World (2)
The next day, Yang Shouwen received a letter from Li Bao'er.
The letter was still sent through Colliers, and it was still hidden in a food box.
Gao Lishi and him, still did not have any conversation, put down the food box and left in a hurry, leaving nothing behind.
However, Yang Shouwen saw it.
Gao Lishi probably came here to ventilate and deliver the news.
Although I don't know how he can do the things of the court bureau as a pawn of the prince's inner square bureau, it can be seen that he is loyal to Li Bao'er. You must know that this Dongcheng Prison is heavily guarded, and it is not a trivial matter to pass on the news. If someone finds out and makes a bad mistake, Colliers will be killed, and the risk is not small.
Previously, Yang Shouwen had suspected Colliers.
But after what happened to Li Bao'er, Yang Shouwen realized one thing, that is, 'history, you can't believe it'. Writing history books is said to be written with the pen of the Spring and Autumn Period, impartially. But in reality? A historical record, how many private goods are included in it?
History books, after all, are written by people.
There are too many internal and external influences.
Even if it is Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian", can it be said to be impartial and straightforward?
In that, I'm afraid there are also a lot of his personal opinions. Spring and Autumn penmanship, small words and righteousness...... Sometimes you can't see anything on the surface, but in reality, there are too many things that are not real. For example, in the history books, it is also said that how Princess Anle ...... But since Yang Shouwen and An Le got acquainted, they haven't seen that kind of sign.
Maybe there will be changes in Anle in the future, but for now, she is not the princess recorded in the history books.
The same is true of Colliers, who can guarantee what he experienced before following Li Longji?
Yang Shouwen waited for Gao Lishi to leave, and then opened the letter.
In the letter, it is still a poem in the Book of Songs, which basically means to ask Yang Shouwen how he is doing and what is his need?
Li Bao'er's letter does not contain much content.
But Yang Shouwen can understand it. Her care between the lines.
He had a headache again!
In fact, in yesterday's reply, he had already hinted at it, but ...... Didn't she see it?
Yang Shouwen frowned and pondered. I feel a little embarrassed.
He had already hurt Li Bao'er once, if he hurt her again......
But how can we make her understand what is going on in her heart?
Yang Shouwen wandered in the courtyard after a long time. An idea suddenly occurred to him.
Perhaps, this will make her understand better!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That night, Li Bao'er did not receive a reply from Yang Shouwen.
According to Gao Lishi, Yang Shouwen has taken the letter she wrote to Yang Shouwen, and it is estimated that he has already read it.
"But why didn't he write back to me?"
Li Xianhui and Wu Yanji looked at Li Bao'er, who was puffing out of breath and like an angry lion, and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly.
This girl is going crazy!
"Princess, don't worry. Wait a minute. ”
Wu Yanji stood up and enlightened Li Bao'er under Li Xianhui's eyes.
"Since Yang Shouwen has received your letter, he must have understood your thoughts.
The reason why he didn't reply immediately was because he had his own troubles. Let's wait two days and see what he says. ”
Although she was a little unhappy, Li Bao'er also knew that there were some things that she couldn't hurry.
The more she wanted to know Yang Shouwen's attitude, the more stupid her IQ became. Fortunately, there are seven sisters, otherwise I don't know what I would become.
And just like that, another three days passed.
In an instant. It has been almost a month since Yang Shouwen was imprisoned in Dongcheng Prison.
The people in Luoyang City gradually left this matter behind...... There has been no definite information, and at the same time, several people who fabricated gossip have been arrested. It also made the rumors immediately fall silent.
At the same time, the first gold escorted from Cheung Chau, totaling 150,000 gold, arrived safely in Luoyang.
The news from the Changzhou side that in the entire Youxian Palace, except for the Imperial Tai Treasure. There is also a large amount of wealth accumulated by the Five Doumi Sect for more than 300 years. According to the rough calculation of Gao Jian and others, the total value of the treasures in the entire Youxian Palace is no less than 100 million assets. If it is converted to Kaiyuan Tongbao, it is nearly 100 billion yuan......
The whole Luoyang suddenly became a sensation!
In addition to this, news about the Japanese came from Nagasu.
After the people of Luoyang learned about the thoughts of the Japanese, they were also surprised.
Originally, I thought that these Japanese people were coming to make a pilgrimage, but I didn't expect it to be ill-intentioned. In the Battle of Baijiangkou, due to the concealment of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, not many people knew that the Japanese had fought with the Tang Dynasty. But after Nasu I Saburo was escorted to Luoyang, many things that had been forgotten began to spread in the community.
In the past, people did not pay much attention to the Japanese people around them.
But because of this incident, many people began to be wary of the Japanese people.
There was even a situation of expulsion of the Japanese people in Nanshi...... The national pride of the Tang people is incomparable, and they naturally cannot tolerate the provocation of the Japanese people. Many people even began to suggest that the imperial court should wage war against those Japanese people......
With so many things happening, the attention of Yang Shouwen's incident will naturally decrease.
Li Bao'er was very dissatisfied with this, and complained in the county lord's mansion: "The credit for opening the Youxian Palace is obviously Yang Qingzhi's, why is no one mentioning it?" Also, the arrest of the Japanese is also the credit of Yang Qingzhi, why don't you mention it?
No, I'm going to go into the palace and talk to my grandmother. ”
Frightened, Li Xianhui hurriedly grabbed Li Bao'er, "Bao'er, don't mess around." ”
"How can I mess around?"
"I am afraid that these news were ordered by my grandmother to be passed out, in order to reduce the discussion of Yang Shouwen in the market.
If you run over and make a fuss now, if you don't get it right, it will anger your grandmother, and then Yang Shouwen will be even more dangerous. ”
"But, what does grandmother mean after all this time?"
What does Wu Zetian think? No one knows.
It stands to reason that if she was angry, she should have killed Yang Shouwen a long time ago; If she hadn't been angry, she would have at least raised her head. But now? Wu Zetian ignored Yang Shouwen, as if he had forgotten him.
How could Li Xianhui and others understand the calculation in her heart?
However, that night, Li Bao'er finally received a reply from Yang Shouwen.
Wu Yanji was having a drink with his friends, and after hearing the news, he hurried to the county lord's mansion to give advice to Li Bao'er.
"What is this?"
Wu Yanji held a stack of manuscripts and felt a little dazed.
Li Xianhui smiled bitterly: "This is Yang Shouwen's reply...... There was no movement for a few days, but he didn't expect him to write half of the play. ”
Opera, this term first appeared in the Song Dynasty.
However, as early as in the primitive society, along with the development of primitive song and dance, art forms such as social fire and puppet opera were derived. However, most of the singing, dancing and opera in this period were mainly based on entertaining the gods, which was only the prototype of 'opera' in later generations.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the songs and dances of entertaining the gods gradually evolved into songs and dances that entertained people.
In the hundreds of years from the Han and Wei dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, there were successive forms such as 'Hundred Opera', 'Joining the Army' and 'Ta Shao Niang' in the form of singing and dancing to play a small story of life, which further developed the art of opera. The emergence of institutions such as Jiaofang, along with the development of Yuefu and the maturity of poetry rhythm and narrative poetry, by the Wu and Zhou dynasties, opera had completed its embryonic stage of growth, and began to officially enter the formative period, and developed very rapidly.
"Hit the golden branch?"
Wu Yanji chattered with interest and looked down with great interest.
This is a drama about the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty rose up. At that time, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty had a general under him, that is, General Fubo Ma Yuan. He followed Liu Xiu to make great achievements, and in the eighteenth year of Jianwu, he quelled the rebellion of the Jiaozhi people in Lingnan in one fell swoop, and returned to the dynasty. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu was very happy, so he asked his daughter to marry Ma Keqing, the son of the Fubo general Ma Yuan, and married Ma Yuan, and the Ma family was intimate.
The above is the background of the play.
Ma Keqing is indeed the son of Ma Yuan in history, but he died young, and there is no record.
Next, there is the text of the play.
After the princess and Ma Keqing got married, she relied on her identity as a princess to restrain Ma Keqing everywhere.
Sometimes, she doesn't mean to make things difficult. But the people around her will fan the flames, and as a princess, she is sometimes a little arrogant. Although Ma Keqing was dissatisfied, she was helpless in the face of the identity of the princess and swallowed her anger.
Ma aided the birthday, and the princess came to pay respects.
But the people around her said, you are a princess, how can you be inferior?
So, during the birthday greeting, the princess did not kneel, which aroused Ma Keqing's dissatisfaction, so she reasoned with the princess.
The two argued, and Ma Keqing slapped the princess in anger.
This slap caused a big disaster. The princess felt that she had been wronged, so she ran back to the palace and cried to Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua about her grievances. And Ma Yuan was also frightened after learning that Ma Keqing had beaten the princess and tied him into the palace......
This is the end of the story.
Yang Shouwen's drama of beating the golden branch is actually the "Hitting the Golden Branch" that was circulated in later generations.
However, because Guo Ziyi and Guo Nuan had not yet appeared, Yang Shouwen did not dare to quote those princesses and concubines in the Tang Dynasty, so he replaced Tang Dynasty Zong with Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and let the general Fubo Ma Yuan replace Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang.
Wu Yanji was so drunk that when he found out that there was no end to the play, he was immediately anxious!
"County Lord, what's next? What's next? ”
Li Xianhui looked at his anxious appearance and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
In fact, after she watched this drama just now, she was not much worse than Wu Yanji, and she scolded Yang Shouwen even more.
This guy is really lacking in morality!
"Jun Ma, I want you to come here to let you see, what does this Yang Shouwen mean?"
Listening to Li Xianhui's words, Wu Yanji was silent.
The story in the play, he seems to be familiar with it.
Ma Keqing married Liu Xiu's daughter, and she was cautious and cautious everywhere. And didn't he feel this way too? (To be continued.) )
