Chapter 35: Children's Theatre
The prison has never been so lively, and the people who came to visit Zhu Cheng were one after another.
The cell boss didn't dare to stop him, not to mention that the emperor personally came to cheer Zhu Cheng up, even if it was Li Yongzhen's words of care, he could be scared that he didn't dare to move.
Wei Honglian was the first to come to see Zhu Cheng. Because of Wei Zhongxian's informant, Wei Honglian knew that Zhu Cheng was nothing serious, so she came very calmly and brought a big bowl of pork heart soup. Although Feng Menglong's injuries did not heal, he also came to visit with the support of Hou Huiqing.
Zhu Cheng asked with concern: "Last time I repaired Li Wentong so much, did you have enough gas?" ”
Feng Menglong hadn't completely come out of the shadow of the blow, and said hatefully: "Almost, it would be nice if it was a little more ruthless." ”
Zhu Cheng sneered: "My second step revenge plan has begun. After you go home, write me a post, and ask the officials above the fifth grade of the Ming Dynasty to come to the children's theater to watch the play at the time of the day (now at 19 o'clock in the evening) two days later. Do you remember, a few years ago, the west gate of our children's paradise began to build a theater garden, that is, the children's theater, where to ask them to see? Don't write the title of the play, I want them to watch a good play. The ticket went to Wei Honglian, the director of the children's park, to get it. ”
Feng Menglong said: "What play? ”
Zhu Cheng said: "Naturally, it is "Du Shi Niang's Angry Treasure Chest". ”
The two looked at each other and laughed. Zhu Cheng has not forgotten to harm people in the prison, and the emperor is really wise to detain him, but the time of detention is a little shorter, at least ten or eight years.
There are also those who come to see the cell boss. When the Donglin Party heard that Zhu Cheng had gone to prison, they sent someone to secretly contact the cell boss and asked him to kill Zhu Cheng unknowingly. When the cell boss heard this, he was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again. Although the Donglin Party pays a lot of money, it has to be spent.
Early the next morning, Wei Honglian and Zhu Youzhen came to pick up Zhu Cheng in a carriage. When he got home, despite the heavy snow outside, he forced him to take a shower. There are also many yuzu leaves in the bathtub, which are said to be moldy.
After settling down, Zhu Cheng took Zhu Youzhen to inspect the Children's Theater.
The children's theater has a large footprint and can accommodate up to 3oo people at a time. The chairs were fixed to the ground, one next to the other, with numbers on them. There are also private rooms in the theater, the most luxurious of which can seat thirty or forty people. The blackout effect of the theater is very good, and when the curtain is lowered, the whole theater is dark. Such a design is simply anti-social in the Ming Dynasty, which makes people drink tea, eat melon seeds, and then ask the tea man to fly towels. If you look at other theater gardens, there are tables and chairs, and there are shopkeepers waiting at any time, throwing wet towels to the guests, so that they can wipe their hands and faces, although this towel is charged, but it is still very popular with the guests.
The stage is specially designed, with a sound gathering effect, so that the whole theater can hear the sound on the stage clearly. The two sides of the stage were very flat and painted with white paint, making them two huge whiteboards.
When Zhu Youzhen saw this whiteboard, his heart moved, and he asked, "Brother Cheng, what is the purpose of these two big white boards?" ”
Zhu Cheng snapped his fingers, and the lights shot out from the two small rooms behind him, projecting Zhu Youzhen's cartoons on the two whiteboards respectively.
Zhu Youzhen said: "Okay, Brother Cheng bullied me again and painted me so ugly." ”
After speaking, he reached out to scratch Zhu Cheng's itch.
The two fought for a while, and Zhu Youzhen asked, "Brother Cheng, what's going on?" ”
Zhu Cheng said: "I'll take you to see it." ”
After speaking, he took Zhu Youzhen's hand and came to the small room at the back of the theater.
The small room had only one window facing the stage, and on the windowsill was a piece of clear glass on which something seemed to be drawn. There are many lights in the room, and there are many reflective devices, and the lights are gathered and the light is projected onto the whiteboard through the glass. Zhu Youzhen wanted to pick up the glass to take a look, but the staff in the hut shouted sharply: "The glass is very hot, Zhu Gongzi be careful!" ”
Zhu You's hand had already touched the glass and retracted it suddenly, tears rolling in his eyes. It seems that this is not light.
Zhu Cheng grabbed his hand distressedly and blew and blew.
The staff member put on thick gloves, took off the glass, and showed it to Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian looked at it, and drew a small cartoon with ink on it, and the content of the cartoon was himself.
Zhu Youzhen said: "I understand, is there two such a small room, so two paintings are projected?" ”
Zhu Cheng replied, "Yes." This is the projection darkroom I designed, when singing or singing, you can project the play, lyrics, or a brief introduction on the whiteboard on both sides. ”
Zhu Youzhen looked at this staff member and asked, "Why is this person's voice so sharp?" ”
Zhu Cheng said: "You don't know each other? This is the eunuch I asked for from the palace who likes music. In the future, this children's theater will be managed by them, and the audience will buy tickets to enter the play. The money from the sale of tickets belongs to us except for their monthly money, and we can sit on the ground and share the spoils again. Sometimes, when your drama addiction comes up, you can also make a cameo on stage. ”
Zhu Youzhen said: "Such a good theater, I have to invite the emperor's brother to come and see it." ”
Zhu Cheng said with a smile: "I saw that there was no most luxurious box in the middle, that was the emperor's special box, and no one could use it." Tomorrow is the first time to perform, you can invite the emperor to come to the play. ”
Zhu Youzhen pulled Zhu Chengfei and ran out, got into the carriage and went straight to the palace.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "Are you acting tomorrow, why didn't you say it when I went to visit the prison yesterday?" Are you still resentful of me in your heart? It's still the little inspector of my family who has a conscience and knows to invite my brother to the play. ”
Zhu Cheng said repeatedly: "Weichen doesn't dare. ”
Emperor Apocalypse said: "Brother Cheng doesn't dare to do anything." Alright, I'll be gone tomorrow. By the way, what kind of drama are you playing? ”
Zhu Cheng said: "The emperor must like the drama of talented and beautiful people." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Is it "The Story of the West Chamber", "The Peony Pavilion", or "The Story of the Purple Hairpin"? ”
Zhu Cheng said: "No, this play is newly written by someone Zhu, and the name is "Du Shi Niang's Angry Sinking Treasure Chest". ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed and said, "Zhu Cheng, Zhu Cheng, you are really not a good person, the person who offended you is miserable, and he will die." As soon as this drama came out, Li Wentong's reputation was completely stinky in Daming. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly thought of something important, and said: "It hasn't been long since the emperor's grandfather and father have been on the throne, will we listen to the drama for fun, will it cause criticism in the world?" ”
Zhu Cheng said: "Today is the third day of the first month of the first year of the Apocalypse, and it has passed the time of filial piety, who dares to talk nonsense?" ”
Zhu Youzhen said: "Tomorrow's play, the show will start at the end of the day, and the emperor will go on time." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked, "Oh, I'm not the only one watching the play." So who else goes? ”
Zhu Cheng said: "I'm going to give tickets to officials with more than five grades in the Ming court, and I don't know how many people I can go." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse pointed at Zhu Cheng, shook his head, and said, "You are really good at rectifying people." But it's okay, in recent days, Gao Panlong and those people have always said that Li San knows military affairs and can serve as the economic strategy of Liaodong. I have read Li Sancai's resume, I have never been in the military department at all, where can I control the situation in Liaodong, and it is strange not to be beaten all over the ground by the Jiannu thief chief Nuer Haqi. As soon as this drama comes out, let's see what kind of face he still has to recommend Li Sancai, this old thing. You can find a way to try to get those Ming officials to go to the theater. Since you want to slap your face, you just hit it harder. ”
When he returned home, Zhu Cheng immediately asked Feng Menglong to change the invitation, and specially stated that they were invited to watch the play with the emperor. With this sentence, I believe that those officials will rush to come to the children's theater to watch the play, after all, having fun with the emperor, this glory is not enjoyed by everyone.
