10. Halloween (End)
"Yes," Su Shun replied without hesitation, "the minion's every move dare not be hidden from the emperor. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info slave built the house, and it was built very strongly, and it has not yet been completed. ”
"Oh!" The emperor said such a word, and the tone was full of doubt, which was extremely obvious.
"There's a reason for that." Su Shun said calmly, "The slave knows that the emperor's yang energy is strong and he is afraid of heat, and he will serve the emperor to come to Rehe to escape the summer every year in the future, and the days will be long!" I can't help but plan to go a little farther. ”
Saying that "being afraid of heat" is "yang qi", saying that "I want to go to Rehe every year to escape the heat", saying "the days are still long", this is a very beautiful word in the emperor, Yun Concubine rarely said to the point, was dissolved by Su Shun a few words lightly, the emperor suddenly felt refreshed, and wanted to go down to the ground for a walk.
So, the little eunuchs served the emperor and got dressed, helped him get out of bed, and guarded him left and right, and the emperor only felt that his feet were fluttering, and the ground seemed to be soft everywhere. And as I walked like this, I couldn't help but pant slightly, so I went under the south window and said, "I'd better sit down!" ”
As soon as Su Shun heard this, he quickly moved a soft chair with a thin rattan and helped the emperor to sit down. The weather was cool on this day, and in the evening, a good wind entered the house, blowing on the soft and smooth cooked Luo coat and trousers, which felt very comfortable. The emperor used Jinzhou pickles to accompany his meal, and ate two small bowls of duck terrier rice porridge, and he was in good spirits, thinking about finding some pastime.
"Rain Pavilion!" The Emperor shouted, his voice quite clear.
"Wow!"
"Today's fifteenth, the moon is white and the wind is clear, you see, where am I going to go shopping?"
"This ......," Su Shun thought for a while and replied: "The slave gave the emperor an idea, the moon of the 'Zhijing Yundi' is the best, the emperor might as well go there to enjoy the coolness, and then pass on the students of the Shengping Department to let them sing for fun." ”
"Good, good!" The Emperor gladly replied, "That's it!" ”
"Yes! The minions immediately went to prepare. ”
Su Shun immediately sent people separately, while informing the Shengping Department to serve the cappella, and on the other hand, preparing yellow hooves, seats, and tea stoves in the "Zhijing Cloud Embankment". Then he returned to the temple and began to cook. Afraid that the night would be cold and the emperor would be weak, he especially told the "four deacons" eunuchs who managed the emperor's boots, hats, robes, and gowns to bring all kinds of single-clip clothes. It is good to add or subtract at any time as the weather changes.
When everything was properly prepared, the emperor sat on the bright yellow soft sedan chair, and Su Shun personally supported the sedan chair bar, and walked towards the "Zhijing Cloud Embankment".
"Zhijing Cloud Embankment" is one of the "Thirty-six Views of Summer Resort" inscribed by Emperor Shengzuren. At the foot of the mountain, there is a clear lake, which is divided in half by a zhi-shaped earthen embankment, which is called "Zhijing Cloud Embankment". Wading the embankment to the north, that is, "Ruyizhou", also known as "a cloud", the stage built near the water, is there. But the place where the emperor was fortunate at this moment was on the south bank, and when he got there, it was just when the moon was on the east mountain. The light of the toad is clear, reflecting the water of a lake reflecting the willows, which is very quiet. The emperor specially ordered not to see a single light, so the eunuchs rushed to a nearby house separately and issued a decree to turn off the lights. Naturally, the Omiya lanterns illuminated in front of the Imperial Palace were also extinguished together.
After a short break, Su Shun took the eunuch An Fu, the head of the Shengping Bureau, several of the emperor's favorite students. There are also old performers Qian Sifu, Fei Ruisheng, Chen Jincui and others who worked as errands in Rehe during the Jiaqing period and taught students to sing music today, who came to kowtow to the emperor and ask for peace, and then presented the excerpts of the play. Request a play.
The emperor didn't have to watch the excerpts, his belly was very rich, and he casually ordered: "Sing "The Palace of Eternal Life"! Then, looking up at the faint clouds of the blue sky, he said, "Gaze, a clear autumn." I can't see the cold clouds and distant trees! Bitter memories are dusty, the shadow is lonely and tired, the sick horse is frosty, and the bridge is thousands of miles, do you know if he is healthy? Even if it is fine, it is expected that we will lose weight ....... ”
Reading this, the emperor bowed his head and asked, "What is this fold called?" "This fold is called "Autopsy". The emperor has been ill for a long time, and An Fu is afraid that it will be taboo to say it, so he just kowtows and does not dare to answer.
Although Su Shun does not understand the rhythm, but "The Palace of Eternal Life" is a legend often sung in the palace, he is familiar with it, and remembers the song that the emperor just read, which is to describe Yang Guifei in Ma Weiyi was forced by Chen Yuanli to mutiny, after the hanging beam committed suicide, the ghost is not gone, how under the light moon pear blossoms, self-injury jade broken beads sinking, reminiscing about the kindness of the day. At this time and now, it is really taboo to sing such a bleak and bleak tune, which is why Anfu does not dare to play back.
So he deliberately reprimanded An Fu: "Look at you, the more you go back on errands!" How did you let the emperor pass the test? Go down, and sing the good ones for the emperor! ”
This can be regarded as resolving a deadlock, Anfu is relieved, the emperor also remembered that this fold is called "Autopsy", and at the same time understands that Anfu does not dare to play back, so he is obedient and does not make a sound.
Anfu knew that the emperor loved those beautiful words or lingering Nanqu, and when he saw the scenery in front of him, he remembered that there was a fold in "The Pipa Story", which happened to be excellent, so he called Chen Jincui to play the flute, Fei Ruisheng was in charge, and Zhang Duofu, a student who was admired by the emperor, sang the lead singer.
As soon as the sandalwood board sounded, the flute swirled, and Zhang Duofu opened his throat and sang: "Chutian is raining, the waves are falling, the autumn is bright and clean, who drives the ice wheel." Coming to the bottom of the sea? Crush the glass for thousands of acres. The wind is clear, the sheng is cold, and the life is clear. Pearl curtain roll, Genglou infinite autumn Xing. ”
This song card is called "Nian Nujiao", and the next tune is about to be changed, and in this gap, the emperor asked Su Shun: "Do you know what this singing is called?" ”
"Where do you know, minions?" Su Shun said with a smile, "Listening to that, it seems to be describing the scenery of a moonlit night, but this is a painting on the scene." ”
"That's right! This is the "Autumn Appreciation" of "The Pipa Story", if you don't write about the moon in autumn, what can you write? Listen, there's a good one down there. ”
Zhang Duofu in front, hearing what the emperor said, became more and more energetic, and then sang the following preface to "Sheng Chazi" and "Nian Nujiao".
"Every person has sent books, and books go to God. It's a good light tonight, but it's a pity that people are thousands of miles away, thousands of miles in the sky, and Chanjuan is cute, without a little condensation. Twelve dried, full of light, cool soaked bead foil silver screen. Partial name, in Yaotai, smiling and smiling, how many times have you seen this good scene in your life? ”
"Good Quwen, good Quwen!" The emperor rewarded the festival; He also said: "Zhang Duofu's voice is at home today, and his words are better!" ”
When Su Shun heard this, he immediately shouted: "The emperor praises Zhang Duofu." Shane! ”
An Fu had been preparing for a long time, and then took Zhang Duofu to kowtow in front of the imperial case. The emperor rewarded a plate of apricots and pears, so he kowtowed again and thanked him, retreated to his place, and continued to sing.
Singing "The cliff is cold, the mandarin duck tile is cold and the jade pot is icy, and the railing is still wet", the emperor frowned. His every move, his eyebrows were high and his eyes were low, and Su Shun was watching everything, and then he knew that something was wrong, so when he finished singing this "Guluntai", he immediately leaned over and asked, "But what is the wrong singing there?" ”
"Hmm!" The emperor nodded and asked, "Who taught it?" Pass him on! ”
Zhang Duofu's fold "Appreciating Autumn" was taught by Chen Jincui, and An Fu took him to the front of the palace with anxiety, knelt down, and listened to the questioning.
"The word 'wet' is into the voice, how do you teach Zhang Duofu to sing in a flat voice? It's hard to hear! Chen Jincui muttered back: "The word 'wet' 'Lianhua' sounds like a flat voice." ”
"Who called you 'Lian Kou'?"
This time he touched it, which made Chen Jincui sweat more and more, and stammered: "It was the slave's master who taught him this." ”
How can the master of his teachings be used to resist the emperor? This is an extremely inappropriate answer, which can annoy the emperor and cause unforeseen disasters. The mental method passed down in the palace, when encountering such a situation, it is necessary to reprimand and exonerate in front of the emperor to calm the anger that the emperor may explode. So An Fu shouted sternly: "What a foolish thing! What is your master? What your master taught can be compared to the teachings of the Lord Banzai! ”
"Yes, yes!" Chen Jincui kept bumping his head on the ground, "The slave is confused, ask for the teachings of the Long Live Lord!" ”
The emperor had a good temper, and on these, he always "taught people tirelessly", and the little eunuch would point out the wrong words to them with a pleasant face, and even wrote a "word" with a red pen and instructed that "it will be written like this in the future". Therefore, Chen Jincui and An Fu were very frightened, but the emperor was unimpressed, and really pointed them out.
"Your master is not very clever, and he is afraid that he can't even figure out the southern and northern songs." The emperor said slowly: "The sound of the northern song is sung high and the sound of the elephant is sung, and the sound of the elephant is lowered, and it becomes a flat voice when it is prolonged." "The Pipa Story" is a southern song, and the wrong singing of the word 'wet' is wrong on this 'Lianhua'. You get the idea, right? ”
"Long live Lord Shengming! Long live the teachings of the master, the slave will not be used for a lifetime" Chen Jincui said boldly, "The slave is brave, and then ask the master of long live to teach, how to sing the voice of the southern song to be beautiful?" ”
"The exit is cut off, don't be deliberate, throw it lightly, and it will be clean and neat. Kun cavity is the so-called 'water mill tune', and there must be a setback in the turn, and it is important to pay attention to these. ”
Emperor Gu Qu can really be regarded as a bosom friend, and the old workers of the Shengping Department are all sincerely convinced. The emperor was also very proud, and when he showed up to speak, he himself hummed and taught them. In this way, the pastime was at the time of the second watch, the night was cool and invaded, and Su Shun repeatedly advised, and the emperor drove back to the palace with residual pleasure.
