Chapter 229: A New Play

After You Heng visited the General's Mansion for the first time, he immediately went to the Ministry of Rites to report for duty, although Kong Rong felt a little strange, he always felt that You Heng's attitude towards Bai Gong seemed to be a little weird, but there was no reason to be embarrassed, and directly arranged You Heng as his deputy.

You Heng's reputation is still very large, and Kong Rong's arbitrary promotion has not attracted any criticism......

Sun Ce was in a hurry to pay homage to his deceased father, and after receiving the tribute that Bai Tu had donated for himself in order to express his grief, he set off for Wu County again.

However, as the "first merit" of the three-way army, which has achieved important results, it should also be celebrated in Jinling.

The reason why he came back with Ling Tong was not only to commend his merits for taking the lead, but also to make him the representative of the Middle Route Army!

The news that Jiangxia Huangzu was awarded the head, and the people rejoiced and welcomed Wang Shi has spread in Jinling City.

Although in the world of Castle Hime, only the "generals" in the army are real human beings, and the other Himezo soldiers are trained by "manpower", but ...... War still means more taxes and forced labor.

At this time, "always fighting" and "always winning battles" gave the people a completely different feeling.

Even Cao Pi and others have already learned the news - after all, Bai Tu has no intention of concealing it, but tries his best to publicize it to stabilize the rear.

"Boda, it's only been less than a month since the war started, and my father and Yuan Shao still don't know what the battle is like, so Huang Zu has already been defeated...... How good is that? Cao Pi asked anxiously.

Cao Pi was still expecting that when the main force of the best Baitu was still trapped in Jingzhou, his father would have defeated Yuan Shao and unified the north.

In this way, it is completely possible to open his mouth and ask them to go back - at that time, Bai Tu is at a disadvantage and is likely to accept Cao Cao's conditions.

This is also the best development that Cao Pi could think of before he came......

However, looking at it now, the guys in Jingzhou are really unreliable, and they actually lost a major town to the General's Mansion so quickly, can they still be counted on?

"Whether the lord can defeat Yuan Shao is not something we can predict and help thousands of miles away, what we can do now is to learn more about the Great General's Mansion...... I also asked the son to clean up his mood, and then he had to attend the celebration party of the General's Mansion. Sima Lang said.

Sima Lang is very talented, but he is not the type like Xun Yu and Lu Su who can seek the overall situation.

Whether it is his status, or his talent and experience, it is determined that he only needs to take care of the things in front of him.

To a certain extent, being able to accurately recognize this, understand the goals that you should focus on, and not distract other people's things is also Sima Lang's excellence.

In contrast, Yang Xiu, who was about the same as him, or even smarter, did not have this kind of self-knowledge......

"Celebration Party...... Well, I'll try my best. Cao Pi should try his best to look happy, although others will not believe it when they see it, but they can't make a bitter face.

"Actually, Gongzi can learn like Bang Gongzi and try to relax. Those who seek personal gain in the 'enemy country' are most afraid of quick success. Sima Lang said.

At the beginning, when Sima Lang knew that there was still a "related household" in the team, he felt very uncomfortable - what kind of stall is this, and there are related households?

But the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became......

The first time I saw it, when I went to the "enemy country" and stuffed the back door into it, how much more could I think about it?

Fortunately, Cao Bang usually has no sense of existence, and he does not command randomly, so Sima Lang has the right to ignore him.

It's just that recently Sima Lang found that Cao Bang's state is very relaxed, and he even often goes to the theater in Jinling to watch plays, as if he is really fine!

Although it didn't play a role, Sima Lang felt that protons should be like this on the surface, and as for the things that needed to be moved, they should either be put behind their backs or handed over to others...... For example, you can give it to him.

Like Cao Pi, who is worried about his "homeland", it is easy to bring additional risks.

"Learn from her? Heartless? Watching dramas all day long? Cao Pi pursed his lips when he heard this.

The jury is still out on when opera first appeared...... However, if we talk about singing and dancing, there is a "wu opera" in the Shang period, which is a "play" that dances and sings while sacrificing.

However, this is not a performance nature, the main function is sacrifice, to the pre-Qin period, the "Song" in the "Book of Songs" can be sung for entertainment.

It's just that feature films are still very rare, and it was only during the Tang Dynasty that a large number of dramas with plot structures began to emerge and become popular......

Although Bai Tu can't sing, he has consulted a lot of relevant information, and he has quickly become a group of opera troupes in a short period of time, and the performance form is mainly to show the story, which is currently performed in various parts of Yangzhou, and the repertoire is from the general's mansion!

At first, Yan Xiang was not used to Bai Tu's behavior, but later he gradually understood that this was not only entertainment, but also a high wall to consolidate his "reputation" and promote "orthodoxy" among the people.

If it weren't allowed elsewhere, Baitu would even want to do it outside Yangzhou!

At least in Yangzhou, not only in the city, but also in the countryside and villages, there are performances - one is subsidized by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the other is ...... When going where to perform, the prominent families from all over the country also have to express that even if they feel awkward after watching some plays, they will grit their teeth and endure it when they see it on the signboard of the General's Mansion.

However, in general, new plays are launched from the theater in Jinling, and now there is no shortage of nobles who have moved to Jinling for the sake of the theater.

"This gentleman is honest and gratifying, and he bows his head without answering. Qing'er will go and say carefully, please have time to visit Cao Ancestral Hall......"

said that Cao Bang and Cao Bang arrived, only to hear the sound of humming a little tune, Cao Bang came back.

"What are you singing? Who to invite to your home? You don't have to go to the ancestral hall as a guest! Cao Pi asked unhappily.

"What to go to the ancestral hall? Cao Ancestral Hall, is borrowed from the underworld! Not you...... Our ancestral hall. Cao Bang is a matter of course.

The saying of Yin Cao Difu has sprouted in the Han Dynasty, although it is not common, but Cao Pi also understands it.

It's just that......

Is there a lack of virtue? Yin Cao Difu directly said that the name was not good, and it was also "Cao Temple"...... Did you provoke you? These people!

"People are gentlemen, why do you invite people to go to the underworld?" Cao Pi still said angrily.

"It's not really a netherworld, it's a reference...... It's that we, the audience, know that the place was inhabited by dead people before, but the scholar doesn't know ......," Cao Bang explained.

"Scholar? And such a stupid scholar? ”

"It's called expression! You don't understand it. Cao Bang looked disdainful.

Well, I promised Cao Pi that I would listen to him after I came to Jinling, but ...... Agreeing does not mean that Cao Bang should be trustworthy.

Cao Pi was about to have a seizure, and Sima Lang on the side asked first: "Is this a new play?" I haven't heard it before, what is it about? ”

How could Sima Lang not know the purpose behind this opera?

For Sima Lang, in the case of closed ears and eyes, analyzing the new dramas that came out of Jinling, we can also see some of the guiding arrangements of the General's Mansion!

"It's a Shanyue girl, Xiaobai, who was abducted by a kidnapper when she was a child, but fortunately a Han-Ming boy saved him...... Ten years later, the Shanyue girl came out of the mountain to repay the boy, and the two fell in love and bonded, and the Shanyue girl also learned medical skills in medical school and saved many people. ”

Halfway through Cao Bang's speech, Cao Pi interrupted suspiciously: "Is this encouraging intermarriage with different races?" and their hearts will be different if they are not of my race...... What is the idea of the General's Palace? ”

"Humph! Yes, at the end of today, there were a few bad guys, who said the same, and said that Xiaobai was Shanyue's spies, very bad! Cao Bang said, and glanced at Cao Pi.

"And then?" Sima Lang stopped Cao Pi and continued to ask.

"I don't know, it won't be updated until fifteen." Cao Bang said helplessly.

Sima Lang nodded thoughtfully in his eyes, Cao Pi also saw it, and couldn't help asking, "What did Boda find?" ”

"If nothing else...... On the Chen Palace side of Huaifu Shanyue in the south, I'm afraid there has been progress! Although Sima Lang was guessing, his tone was very certain.

That's right, at the beginning of the year, the General's Mansion actually prepared two new dramas, one is about the story of the heroine who joined the army on behalf of her father during the invasion of the alien race, protected the family and the country, and fought against the cruel and tyrannical aliens, and won the affirmation of the General's Mansion.

The other is an alien woman who loves and combines with a young Han man who helped her as a child, but is reprimanded by the supporters of Yixia's defense, and the alien woman is framed and imprisoned, and it rains heavily...... More than ten years later, the children of the two got ahead in the merit selection test, and finally rescued their mother under the presiding justice of the general's mansion, and the story of the family reunion.

Which of these two dramas is waiting for the situation on the side of the Southern Route Army, if everything goes well, it will be the second play, in case Chen Gong messes up, Wulingman and Shanyue in Wuyang and Wuyang will all fight back, then it will be the first play.

The recent news from Chen Gong made Bai Tu determined to go to the second play, in which the role of the etiquette everyone, Bai Tu left a cameo appearance for those who criticized the repertoire of "Peacock Flying Southeast" as a bad moral.

It's just that the specific news of the Southern Route Army has not been spread among the people - Chen Gong has only won the support of some Guyue tribes now, and has not achieved any results, so it is naturally not good to celebrate now.

Sima Lang understands that these troupes, especially those in Jinling, are behind the shadow of the General's Mansion, so he is very sensitive to this new drama!

"Huaifu Shanyue? What progress will be made? "Cao Pi hasn't understood yet.

"Since we are talking about people-to-people intermarriage, there must have been a large number of Shanyue...... It may be that the Guyue tribe is willing to move closer to the general's mansion, and even agrees to move out of the mountains and forests. "Sima Lang's perception is very accurate.

"Boda! What about Xiaobai? Will you be happy afterward? Cao Bang hurriedly asked.

Cao Bang had already discovered that Sima Lang had ...... Obviously I don't listen to dramas much, and I don't look like people who can make up stories, but I guess the plot very accurately.

"It's going to be a big ordeal, but ...... In the end, the unlucky ones must be those Confucians, and after some tribulation, the General's Mansion will let the story end perfectly. If Bang Gongzi is afraid of being uncomfortable, he can wait for all the plays to come out and watch them together. Sima Lang said.

"Huh? How do you know that the General's Mansion will come out? Now there is no general's mansion in the play! Cao Bang wondered.

"Hehe, guess." Sima Lang tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Nonsense! Which play doesn't have the General's Mansion? There's a sense of presence in each one, okay?

The one that the Criminal Department participated in the production of before, tells the story of the little widow who was tortured into a trick, and was finally beheaded to show the public...... As a result, the next scene is that the little widow's father returned from training in the Criminal Department, was awarded the official position of the Criminal Department, and returned to his hometown to find out the case and set things right.

Sima Lang now also admires Bai Tu - the general's mansion is blatantly gilding himself and smearing on the faces of old officials every time!

It's so straightforward, but the common people eat this set......
