The big gong opera of the day was held three times in a row, the first and second performances were all about "the love story of the son and the young lady", lingering and compassionate, more suitable for the appetite of ordinary people, and during the preparation of the third scene, the atmosphere around the opera garden suddenly became tense.

First, Liu Yu sent his family to the female army guards to escort him home, and it didn't take long for the yacha and the imperial forest army of Jingzhao Mansion to enter the field and garrison them, guarding several entrances and exits of the wide open space. The people were originally coming to see the play, but when they suddenly saw so many officials and family members entering, it seemed that something big was about to happen. At this time, Sui Yu observed Liu Yu, and Liu Yu looked indifferent at this time, as if all this had been arranged by him a long time ago.

Then the Imperial Guards appeared surrounded by a group of officials, and a young man walked in the present, different from the official attire of the Shun Dynasty with a high crown and a large belt, he wore a heavy winter coat and a mink hat to wrap himself tightly. Sui Yu felt nervous, because she had seen this person many times, it was the current Son of Heaven, Su Yan.

The emperor actually brought hundreds of civil and military officials to watch the play in the garden!

Liu Yu and Sui Yi and Li Mi personally stepped forward, Sui Yu also had to follow him, as a court official with official positions and ranks, Sui Yu knew the etiquette of greeting the emperor, and ordinary women should avoid seeing the Son of Heaven, which is also etiquette.

Although the emperor left the palace with a lot of pomp, he didn't want to reveal his identity, and ordinary people only thought that it was a court official who came out to watch the play, and did not notice the existence of the Son of Heaven. Su Yan stepped forward, Liu Yu just bowed, and then welcomed Su Yan to the main table to sit down. In front of the main table, in addition to the emperor and Liu Yu, who accompanied him, there were Han Sheng, the right minister, and Lan He, the left minister, and Qu Zhu stood beside him in a military uniform and sword. This table is also the current ruler of the military and political affairs of the Great Shun Dynasty. It is the foundation of the entire Dashun court.

Sui Yu's grade is not high. can only be at a table with Sui Yi and Li Mi temporarily. There are two long tables separated from the main table, Sui Yu glanced at Sui Yi, and his brother at this time was also calm, and he should have also received the news from Liu Yu that the emperor was going to see the play.

"Big brother, why didn't you say it before?" Sui Yu asked.

"Say what?" Sui Yi said with a nonchalant expression, "The emperor is coming today, and I was only notified after the first performance, didn't you see that Brother Wen Yan has sent all his family members back to the house?" We watch our plays. It's a nossy matter, and it doesn't have much to do with us anyway. ”

Sui Yu was very helpless in her heart, why did this brother lack political sensitivity so much? When Hua Ji'an and the imperial army were about to return to Guanzhong, the emperor personally came out of the palace, in the name of watching a play, and he must have discussed important matters with Liu Yue, who was a forward general, and this matter was obviously not an "idle matter". Sui Yu thought about it again, today is not the day of the court meeting, and today the emperor only convened some ministers of the Liutai Yamen and the Ministry of Industry to discuss the cold prevention of Chang'an City, and it was these officials who came out with the emperor this time. The emperor may have come out to watch the play temporarily, or he may have been prepared for a long time but did not say it in advance.

The third scene finally opens after a long wait. With the sound of gongs and drums, the role of the actor dressed as a martial artist appeared on the stage, and at first glance, this play was not the emotional drama between you and me in the first two scenes, but involved family and country affairs.

After that, an old student with a flowery face appeared with a long knife.

I have to say that after Liu Yu played the garden, Chang'an City's opera career has also made great progress, and the opera has innovated in appearance, and at a glance, people can know whether Lu Dao is loyal or treacherous, and what is the character of this character. Now the ordinary people in the teahouse theater often discuss these interesting plots, although Sui Yu has never come to see the play, but she also knows that this old student is dressed as a military general.

"I am Luzhou Wutong is also ......"

The first sentence of the old student's confession was reported to his home, and this report was made by the people.

Wu Tong was a military general of the previous dynasty, and he was a brother of Su Li, the founding emperor of the Shun Dynasty. Wu Tong and Su Li were the meritorious generals of the previous dynasty, but then Wu Tong was framed for collaborating with the enemy, and was poisoned by the Ding Dynasty in the border pass military station, and then Su Li was unscrupulous in the Ding Dynasty army, and a few years later Su Li led the troops back to Chang'an City and ousted the young emperor.

Su Li is the Song Taizu in the yellow robe of this era.

Su Li's establishment of the Shun Dynasty was two hundred years ago, and the Shun Dynasty pacified the world sixty years ago, during which the ancestors of the Su family had been running the north. In the history books compiled by the Shun Dynasty for the previous dynasty, Wu Tong has always been portrayed as an image of a traitorous minister, but there are different models among the people, after all, Wu Tong died very strangely, according to general evidence, it was his good brother who framed Wu Tong for treason, Su Li, who later became the emperor.

Wu Tong's matter has always been a taboo between the officials and people of the Shun Dynasty. No matter how enlightened monarchs and dynasties are, there are rebels who do not want to be touched, and their ruling power can be used as a guarantee for this. But there will always be a day when the truth will be restored.

General storytelling books and operas cannot involve court affairs, which is the most basic limit, and this drama is directly related to Su Li, the founding emperor of the Shun Dynasty. Anyone who has a little political acumen feels a crisis in his heart, Sui Yu immediately glanced at Liu Yu, because Liu Yu is the creator of this play, and Liu Yu is also responsible for the writing and rehearsal of this play. Obviously, Liu Yu's play was written from the earliest time and was intended to be shown to Su Yan, but I don't know what direction this play will take, whether it is to respect history or be controlled by power.

The first fold on the stage is the scene of Wu Tong's expedition, and by the second fold, he has been framed, and there are many realistic and dissatisfied remarks in the lyrics, and he committed suicide by taking poison after the most reluctant, sighing: "Brother hurt me!" ”

Although the character of Su Li did not appear from beginning to end, Wu Tong's deathbed sigh had already pointed out the center of the whole play that it was Su Li who killed Wu Tong.

watched the whole play, but the people didn't dare to applaud, after all, there were many dignitaries and nobles in front, and such a public criticism of the founding emperor of the Shun Dynasty was tantamount to disrespect, no matter who wrote the play, it would not end well. But at this time, Liu Yu, the creator of this play, was very calm, because the emperor in front of him obviously did not come to settle accounts with him.

"Master...... This, it's over? ”

Su Yan is a drama blind, even if he knows the general meaning of the opera on the stage, he doesn't understand what Liu Yu wants to express.

"Got it?" Liu Yu asked.

Su Yan shook his head very honestly, what Wu Tong, he seems to have heard of Liu Tong before, and he doesn't care who this surname Wu is.

Originally, he had been persuaded not to rely on Liu Yu's strength, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have relieved his old suspicions with Liu Yu again. This made the people in the court unable to understand this new emperor who was not strong-willed.

Su Yan lowered his body and came to Liu Yu for help, which had already made those old ministers in the court complain. And Liu Yu didn't say to help or not, and directly let him watch such an opera with an obscure meaning.

Lan He was the most hostile to Liu Yu among the people at this table, and at this time he glared at Liu Yu angrily and shouted: "Marquis Wuyi, this is the play you asked the emperor to watch today?" ”

Liu Yu smiled: "Is it well written, do you want to evaluate it?" ”

Lan He was quite helpless, he expected that with Liu Yu's knowledge, it was impossible not to know that Lu Dao was a forbidden play, and the emperor would have to watch a forbidden play, so he didn't know how to let the emperor give this play and "rehabilitate" Wu Tong in history?

Lan He said helplessly: "A traitor, can you still write a book for him?" ”

Liu Yu smiled again: "Ben Hou didn't evaluate whether he was loyal or traitorous, I'm afraid this will be judged by the emperor." Your Majesty, what do you think? ”

Su Yan looked embarrassed, he didn't know much about watching this play just now, but he always felt that the "Wu Tong" on the stage was a good person, and it was quite enjoyable to fight to the death with the Fanbang people.

"Loyal Minister......

Lan He hurriedly interrupted Su Yan's words and said, "Your Majesty, don't make random comments!" ”

Su Yan was stunned at first, looked at Lan He, and then at Liu Yu, with a puzzled expression, this matter was so chaotic that he couldn't understand it. is just a character on the stage, Liu Yu seems to force him to evaluate, but Lan He doesn't let him evaluate. As for this? At this time, Su Yan was no longer the original Wuxia Ameng, he understood that things should be clarified first, in other words, he wanted to hear what Liu Yu and Lan He had to say.

"Master, do you have something to say or make it clear." Su Yan said bluntly, "Is this Wu Tong related to today's events?" ”

Liu Yu glanced at Lan He, sighed and said to Su Yan: "Your Majesty, this Wu Tong is the current Weichen after all, and General Hua who is outside Tongguan. ”

Su Yan's mouth opened slightly, as if he was surprised, and he quickly closed his mouth and stopped talking. When he heard Liu Yu's words, he seemed to understand everything, and said directly: "Master, don't say anything else, this Wu Tong is a loyal minister." ”

This sentence is deafening, not only to the people at the main table to feel surprised, but anyone who can hear this sentence can feel the weight of this sentence. The officials looked at each other, could it be that today was to stabilize Liu Yu and Huaji? The question of whether to be loyal or not to be a traitor is originally a false proposition, which is determined by the guidance of public opinion in propaganda.

The other ministers can also be understood that Liu Yue wanted to excuse himself and Hua Ji'an's unauthorized power, so he rehabilitated Wu Tong, who had been characterized as a traitor for 200 years.

"Master, do you have any other questions?" Su Yan looked at Liu Yu.

"It's gone." Liu Yu smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, please go back." ”

Su Yan didn't need to ask Liu Yu anything more, in fact, Liu Yu had already given him the answer. The first thing the emperor did when he returned to the palace was to convene his ministers to discuss the rewards for those who had made meritorious contributions to the pacification of the Turks.

But the next day, news came from the direction of Tongguan, and the matter of asking for rewards for meritorious service was temporarily put on hold.

Yuan Bolang, the envoy of the imperial court, was beheaded by Hua Ji'an in the name of disturbing the morale of the army.

All the questions were thrown back to Su Yan, in such a situation, do you still want to stabilize Huaji as a loyal minister? (To be continued......)
