Chapter 367: What is God's Way, and Who Is This Country?
The examination will be scheduled for December 21, take a double score lottery head, the examination venue is in Guozijian, this place is newly repaired, in the former flag people area, next to Guangxiao Temple.
On the evening of the 20th, the northwest of Guangzhou City was lit up with lights, and it was very lively. In order to solicit the business of examinees, the restaurant hotel is full of red lanterns of the "Champion Building", and there are also leisure places such as Goolan tile shops, gathering a large group of tired faces, but their eyes are shining.
The Qiren area here was almost destroyed by artillery fire, but now the renovation of the new city is mostly completed, the streets are wide and clean, and the houses are scattered. Tomorrow said that he was going to take the exam, and it was useless to memorize any books today, so the lifters all ran out to relax, and the streets were crowded with readers, Confucian shirts were like the sea, and Confucian scarves gathered waves.
This examination not only opened the regular subjects set up in the previous township examination, including the Jinshi department, the Ming arithmetic department, the Ming law department, and the doctoral department, but also opened another enke department to recruit the original people of the Qing court and rural celebrities. There were as many as three or four thousand people gathered near the examination room, and the grand occasion was unprecedented. Lifting the son and the entourage, the streets and alleys here are full.
The most lively one in this new area is called "Little Jinming Pond", which was originally a garden in the backyard of the Guangzhou General's Yamen, and several waterholes were dug to spell out the lake. The small bridge is in the water, and the willows are leaning on the shore. Although it is a winter night at this time, the lanterns are hung high, the lake shadow is full, and there is another scenery. Along the shore, there were storytellers, singers, and jugglers, all gathered in large groups to applaud and cheer.
There are small bridges leading to the small islands around the lake, and it is a larger platform, which is afraid that it will not be able to accommodate thousands of people, and the high pole props up the blazing headlights, which reflect the stage exceptionally brightly.
At this time, the stage was still empty, but there were thousands of people crowded out of the stage, and they were tiptoeing, as if waiting for some big drama to appear.
"This drama must be exquisite! Look at this little Jin Mingchi, who is different from the past, and has to search his body when he goes in and out, he knows that there must be a national color and Tianxiang appearing, and he is afraid that someone will numb his brain for a while and cause some trouble. ”
"Yidi's play, what do you see?"
"Don't get confused, what is Yidi, this is the drama of the border people, all kinds of border people, but they are all my Chinese Miao descendants."
"Don't croak, come out! Cut...... What a husband! ”
The audience was bustling and discussing, and young people dressed in fancy clothes came to the stage, and saw that the outfit, the headscarf, leggings and the pants as wide as lanterns, were exactly the clothes of the Yao family.
"Who! Who's talking about what is going on! I am Pan Shiyu, the commander of the Yao Battalion of the Yulin Army! ”
The young man was a little squirming on the stage, but when he heard this, he suddenly became angry, shouted and scolded, and the audience suddenly shouted in a low voice, half in disbelief and half in surprise.
"This is not for you to be amused, but to show you how capable our Lian Yao people are! Originally, I didn't want to be on this stage, but someone called me by name, and I couldn't help but listen to his words......"
After scolding people, Pan Shiyu was flying his tongue, not knowing what to say, and the sound of small footsteps suddenly sounded like a tide on all sides of the island, and it was a group of black-clothed guards who suddenly came and surrounded this big platform.
"Ouch, this is a big show......
"Damn, who are you arresting?"
The people watching the play were still frightened, and the two figures, one red and one yellow, were held out by those black-clothed guards like stars and moons. The man in red was a young man, in his early twenties, with delicate eyebrows, but in the light, the slender scar on one side of the eyebrow was clearly visible. Beside him, the yellow dress beauty was standing beautifully, leisurely, but exuding a natural and graceful atmosphere.
It wasn't until the young man in red sat down under the big tent set up in the corner of the stage, and the beautiful woman stood behind him, that everyone was in an uproar, and the big red robe worn by the young man was embroidered with a double golden dragon! This pattern is a map of the Yinghua country, and no one dares to use it in Yinghua, except for one person who ...... "Tian...... Oh my God! No, the king has arrived! ”
"Ouch, hooray, hooray, hooray......"
Most of the people present were test-takers, don't look at the scolding in the stomach, the stubbornness on the mouth, Li Shi appeared in person, and most of the legs and stomachs were soft on the spot. With a shout of "Long live", everyone present fell to their knees. Not to mention that Li has been in the country for more than a year, and the military and political winds have blown through the hearts of the people, let's just say that the more than 700 bloody heads in Huangpu have not dried up yet.
"Pingshen, I'm here to watch the play, not to be watched by you as a play, don't pay attention to me."
Li Shi cocked Erlang's legs, said idly, Duan Yu behind him glanced at him, and said in his heart that he was really a monkey king, and all the rules had to be broken.
Everyone stood up tremblingly, and this movement, the tourists outside the island were also alarmed, and immediately rushed along the small bridge, as Li Xi expected, they all came to see how many faces and arms the king had grown. The black-clad guards only kept them outside, but did not disperse.
Thousands of people crowded on the island, but it was silent, and everyone was also interested, what was the wonderful play that the king himself came to see.
I heard a drum sound, led by the plate of stone jade, a group of Yao family men came to the stage, the long drum was on the waist, every step was a beat, the long drum swayed left and right with the footsteps, and the drum pushed the footsteps, as if stepping on the hearts of the people. The sound of the waist drum in twenty or thirty sides can shake people's hearts, and immediately draw everyone's attention from Li Xi's big tent to the stage.
The Yao family's "Long Encouragement" is on this stage, with another momentum, the drums are like a battle order, the Yao family man strides and throws his waist is particularly powerful, and it is also like rushing to kill on the battlefield, knocking the drum over the mountain, after a few hills, the audience has felt that the blood is boiling, and there is an urge to raise their arms and shout.
"Hey!"
After roaring a burst of rapid drums like raindrops, the Yao family men stopped the drums at the same time, and two rainbow-like figures jumped up from the stage, which were more than 20 colorful Yao sisters like butterflies. The melodious sound of whimpering sounded, and the Yao family sister was playing a musical instrument called "muttering" while shuttling back and forth, and the eyes of the audience suddenly became spent.
Then Yao's sister put down the instrument and sang in unison, although the lyrics were incomprehensible, the singing voice was tactful in the hearts of the people, and the audience was aroused by the drums. Many people subconsciously straightened their chests, only to feel that they had been washed from head to toe by this natural sound.
"This is the Panwang song, which is being sung to Li Guang shooting Shihu, is it strange? I also sang the god of the stove and Lu Ban before, that's right, the Yao family is a Han family. ”
Duan Yuyou was also fascinated by it, but she couldn't understand the lyrics, so she quietly pulled Li Xi and asked, Li Xi replied like this, he is still one of the chief directors of this show, of course he is very familiar with it.
The drums and singing of the men and women of the Yao family were still echoing in the hearts of the people, and another group of men and women who were vaguely similar to the Yao people came to the stage, and the sharp-eyed spectators had already recognized that this was the Miao people.
In the crisp music of the reed sheng, the men and women of the Miao family sang and danced, spreading a heavy feeling that was different from the sharp and clear spirit of the Yao family. The music seemed to have a very ancient aura, vaguely echoing something in the book of sound and rhyme that the lifters were familiar with.
"The groundbreaking song talks about Pangu and Nuwa......"
Without waiting for Duan Yuyou to ask, Li Xi took the initiative to explain.
Miao Yao and Yao are common in Guangdong, but this song and dance is rare, Miao Yao people are willing to sing and dance on this Han stage, it is unique, and the people in the audience are intoxicated. And a group of people who took the stage after the Miao family made everyone wide-eyed, wearing velvet hats, half a batch of long-sleeved and wide-waisted coats, and a gorgeous apron under the waist, and thin braids under the hats.
"Tibetans!"
A lifter shouted, and everyone gasped, the Tibetans were so far away, and they actually came here?
"Tashi Dele, my Kelsang Tondrup and the brothers and sisters behind me are all Kham Tibetans, and today I am here to let you appreciate the demeanor of our Kham Tibetans......
Gesang Dunzhu waved his sleeve, "Hey, drink!" With a sound, Kang Bahan played Zamu Nie, played the recorder, the Tibetan woman unfolded a long singing voice and sang lowly, a girl with bright clothes and silver ornaments walked in front of people, with long sleeves spread, Ying Ying spoke, at that moment, everyone's soul also seemed to rise suddenly, standing on the top of the snow-capped mountain, enjoying the clear ice and snow, and enjoying the magnificent scenery.
Until the figure of the Kham Tibetans disappeared, everyone still felt that the aftermath was lingering, and their hearts were all worried about the demeanor of the three tribes before and after, and they didn't wake up for a long time.
"Good!"
A person snapped and applauded, which woke up everyone in the dream, and that was Li Shi Li Tianwang.
"Good! Good! ”
The applause suddenly shook like thunder, this is really good, although they have their own knowledge, they still rarely really hear and see the songs and dances of these tribes, not to mention that this is the product that Li Xi has specially spent time allocating.
"The King of Heaven is benevolent! Knowing that we were going to enter the exam, we specially invited men and women of the three ethnic groups to show singing and dancing, which was pleasant and refreshing for us......"
Some people plucked up their courage and shouted loudly, attracting everyone's disdain and unwilling eyes, flattering the villain! Why get ahead of us!?
Li Xi secretly sneered, for you? Even Pan Shiyu, Long Gaoshan and Gesang Dunzhu all came to the stage, just to entertain you?
The joy of the three clans is not only performed in this scene, but will also be used as a paid program in the future, and it will continue to be performed in different ways, which is also a topic that Li Shi has planned early on, and the Tibetan girl "presented" by Gesang Dunzhu, and the Miao Yao girl recruited by Long Gaoshan is a preparation for this matter.
"Heavenly King, let me and other scholars see this exotic customs, but is there anything important?"
A clear voice sounded, Li Xi didn't react yet, but Duan Yuyou was heartstrings, isn't this the voice he heard in the library of Huangpu Academy before? When I raised my eyes, I saw a young scholar with bright eyes, looking directly at Li Shi, with three points of sadness, three points of generosity, three points of doubt, and a point of apprehension.
"Zheng Xie, the son of Zheng Zhiben. Zheng Zhiben was seriously injured in the assassination before, and following the Enke rules issued by the Heavenly King, he also signed up to participate in the Enke test of Mingshu. ”
Yu Hanyi introduced this person to Li Xi in a low voice, and Duan Yuyou also heard it.
Zheng ...... Zheng Banqiao!? ”
Li Xi took a slight breath, no wonder he thought the name Zheng Zhiben was a little familiar before, it turned out to be the father of this big celebrity.
A celebrity is a celebrity, and I can see his intention to put out this show, which is urging him, the main master, to come to the stage.
"This person has no signs before, and he didn't even have a hand in the "Shilin" initiated by his father, and he doesn't know the roots."
Yu Hanyi said one more word, but Li Xian smiled, he couldn't be clearer about the foundation of Zheng Banqiao. Now, it's up to me to show them the foundation.
"No courtesy...... In the past, I said that I did feel it, and now I am here, and I want to talk to you. ”
Li Xi got up and walked towards the stage, the scholars hurriedly bent their waists, Li Xi waved his sleeves and shook his hands, and changed his name in his words.
"The Anglo-Chinese country established alone is rooted in the main road of heaven. What is this Avenue of God, I am here today, and I will explain it clearly to you, so that you can understand whose country is this Anglo-Chinese country......
