Section 27 The prince is close to the people and opens a new play
In the early morning of the fourth day after Emperor Renzong ordered the little prince to go down to Jiangzhou to supervise the invincibility of the water ghosts, Princess Jiao appeased the old brother and wife of the army here, the leading brother and his wife and the martial arts brother and his wife and their entourage at the gate of the prince's mansion.
Brother Wugong asked Princess Jiao: "The prince has always been punctual, why is this like this today, and where did he go?" ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's better to use tea in the palace and wait for a while." Princess Jiao said, "I believe I will be back soon!" ”
The little prince beside Princess Jiao is half an adult, he protects his mother like an adult everywhere, seeing that his mother has repeatedly explained to his brothers, his heart is already unhappy, he said to Brother Wugong: "Uncle Wugong is famous for his kung fu, why not find a flower house?" Presumably like yesterday, Lord Xunliu did not meet, and it was delayed here! ”
"You don't have to go, the prince will naturally rush back after finishing his errands." Princess Jiao pulled her son in her arms, "The prince has always been resolute in doing things, and he will not make mistakes for no reason!" ”
When the idea of the little prince's return was worn out, the little prince rushed back, and later followed the carriage of the female official and his wife.
People stepped forward, and the little prince hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, let's go!" He spoke quickly, but the man went to his son, and he crouched down, took his thin shoulders with both hands, and put his forehead on his son's forehead.
The little prince's son threw himself on his shoulder, his eyes were full of tears, the little guy quietly wiped away his tears, turned his face and said goodbye to his parents happily, and comforted his parents: "I will study hard, rest assured to go!" ”
All the way, all the way, all the way, but also all the way happy, needless to say.
When they arrived in Jiangzhou, local officials and countless people greeted him on the road. Like a festival, the little prince and the princess took the lead in getting out of the car, leaving the carriage behind them, and were welcomed by the local officials and the people on foot. According to the giant banner, the people learned that they were greeted by the noble little princess and princess and the elder brothers they carried, and the cheers were deafening, and the people greeted each other with smiles and joy.
Of course, the little princess and princess were excited, and frequently waved to the people to thank them, while the eulogies and introductions of local officials were completely superfluous. All drowned in an atmosphere of excitement and joy.
When he arrived at the place where Jiangzhou was staying, the prefect of Jiangzhou was busy with the little prince, and the little prince said: "Lord Prefect, can you send someone to Sima Gate to send the soft body performers who went to Jingshi to see the king?" ”
The prefect immediately sent someone to go, and in an instant, a carriage came galloping in, and before the car could stop, Xiao Budian and the little junior sister jumped off the car. Leaving the people sent by the prefect behind, he rushed straight upstairs.
When the little prince heard the news, the carriage had arrived, and the two soft body masters had come upstairs. He greeted the door, and there was a dignified and beautiful princess Jiao standing beside him. The prince grabbed them, and the two little ones were as close to the prince and his wife as if they had seen their parents.
Come in. The two little guys gave a few thoughtful salutes to the elder brother and his wife, and the martial arts elder brother shot coldly, attacking the little one, the little junior sister saw this, and stepped forward, and the three of them stopped after two rounds, this special courtesy made all the people present extremely happy and relaxed.
After the guests and hosts sat down, the little prince asked the two little guys how they were doing in Jiangzhou, and the answer was naturally yes, Xiao Budian and the little junior sister competed to tell the prince about the show, and the little prince took the opportunity to tell them that Master Liu had important instructions, and told them to work hard to stage in Jiangzhou under the premise of soliciting the opinions of female officials.
Brother Wugong seemed to understand: "It turns out that the prince has been delayed for a long time, and he is going to see Lord Liu!" ”
The little prince nodded and said, "That's right!" The king wanted to mobilize Lord Liu to go in person, but he couldn't leave, so he told me the instructions to them, and let the king be a mouthpiece. ”
"This Lord Liu is not enlightened, why don't you write it on paper and bring it!" The leading elder brother complained, "There are a lot of miscellaneous words, nonsense, and it's very annoying!" ”
"Definitely!" The little prince looked at the leader and said, "Lord Liu is teaching this king a lesson, and his intention is to make this king pay attention to it and grasp the openness of the show." ”
"This Liu Sanchang, so can't let go, why don't you come in person?" The old brother reprimanded, "Trouble the prince, who does he think it is, I don't know how many catties and taels he has!" ”
"Don't talk about it, listen to the two little things, and I'll put this show on the stage tomorrow." When the little prince narrated, he also reminded the female officer to pay attention to the understanding that the stage manager is not easy to do. Then, the little prince roughly described the plot.
Xiao Budian and Xiao Junimei didn't dare to slack off, they agreed with Wang Ye and his party that they would rehearse in Sima Gate in the afternoon, and invite everyone to be the stage manager and come to check it.
The rehearsal hall was in full swing, the rehearsal hall was lively and lively, people from Jiangzhou and other places, heard that the little prince was the promoter and helmsman of the new economic blueprint of the imperial court, and coupled with the pro-people move in the morning, his gratitude to Dade naturally arose, and what made everyone more interested was an advertisement in the street market, which ignited the passion of the audience.
The advertisement tells everyone that the prince wants to personally direct a good play for the people, can this not arouse people's curiosity? The director of the prince is really unheard of, and now it can be seen that no one can control the curiosity of taking a look.
Who dares to so boldly attribute the prince to the ranks of the actors? No one has such guts, only the prince himself, and this advertisement was drawn up by the prince himself.
In the hotel at Simamen Wharf, the upstairs was directing, and the downstairs was crowded, and the bold people took the lead in shouting, begging the prince to move the rehearsal hall to the courtyard, so that everyone could feast their eyes.
He stood on the corridor, smiled, waved to the subjects downstairs, and when everyone was quiet, the prince said loudly: "Okay, to meet everyone's wishes, the rehearsal room will be set up in the courtyard, however, there is one thing that everyone must abide by, and no loud noise will affect the rehearsal." ”
Sure enough, the people were very cooperative, and under the maintenance and mobilization of the Jiangzhou garrison and the guards brought by the prince, a large piece of ground was vacated in the middle of the courtyard dam.
Xiao Budian and Xiao Shimei took the two Wu brothers and the actors of Sima Men to the middle of the courtyard, and they divided the courtyard into two parts, the small area is the stage, and the surrounding area of the stage is the business place of various representative industries.
The two Wu brothers wore the costumes of Xie Yuying and the stunning beauty to guard the stage, singing and dancing at the same time, while Xiao Budian and Xiao Xiaomei accurately set off the atmosphere of joy, anger and sorrow with soft body performances.
Around the stage, there are restaurants, horse-drawn carriage rental shops, salt merchants' wholesale shops, and haberdashery shops.
The little prince finally calmed everyone down, telling everyone that this rehearsal can not only watch, but also participate, but according to their own understanding, as accurately as possible to judge the relationship between the emancipation of the mind and the changes in daily life, they can express their own opinions, express their own meanings, and do not need to be restrained.
This kind of play is rare, and the enthusiasm and participation of the crowd is very high. (To be continued.) )
