Chapter 2 The Great Rebellion
When Nangong Xing climbed the attic where Hong Xin was, he was surprised to see that Hong Xin was holding a puppet in one hand, dubbing in a weird voice, and said in his mouth: "Well, I am the general of the Qi country, who is coming? Why did you offend my state and county?"
After saying this, Hong Xin hurriedly changed his hand and changed the wooden stick of the thread to the other hand. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info and said in a thick voice: "I am the general of Yan State, and I was ordered to come to crusade against Qi State!"
Hong Xin turned his back to the staircase, as if he hadn't noticed Nangong Xing, who had come to hold Xia Yan hostage.
Nangong Xing saw this situation, but he was originally full of anger, but a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he did not make a sound, but seemed to be ready to watch the play. And how could Xia Yan tolerate Hong Xin's crazy behavior? Although her life was hanging by a thread, she still shouted: "King!"
Hong Xin didn't rush to turn back, and said in an impatient tone: "Just now I was singing, and you came to make noise, now you are playing puppet playthings, why are you here to do so much?"
After Hong Xin finished speaking, he turned his head and pretended to be surprised and said, "Nangong Guoxiang is also there!"
This is also the first time that Hong Xin has seen Nangong Xing up close, only to see that this person has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, luxuriously dressed, and a fierce face, and has his own temperament of hawking and looking at wolves.
Nangong Xing, who was a courtier, did not give a salute to Hong Xin, who was the king, nodded and responded, and said: "King, today I heard outside the palace that this woman wants to eradicate me, but the truth? ”
Nangong Xing took a step slowly after speaking, and the threat was self-evident.
Hong Xin hurriedly smiled and said: "Where do you say? Xiangguo, you are the pillar of the country, how noble is your status? Only you can prune and prune the leaves for the country, and who can shovel you ......?"
Hong Xin stopped awkwardly, as if he didn't dare to say that word in front of Nangong Xing.
"In short, this misunderstanding is Xia Yan's. Hong Xin turned his head to Xia Yan and said, "Why don't you admit your mistake to the Prime Minister?!"
The palace lady was extremely aggrieved, but she knew that Hong Xin was trying to save her, so she could only stiffen up and say, "Your Excellency, I was wrong." ”
Xia Yan's tone didn't show any remorse, but fortunately, Nangong Xing didn't really want to kill her, but came to persecute Hong Xin.
Nangong Xing took a big hand away from Xia Yan's neck, stretched out his hand and pointed at the puppet in Hong Xin's hand, and said, "King, the minister didn't know that you had such a hobby. ”
Hong Xin followed Nangong Xing's words and said: "Yes, if you have nothing to do, you can only enjoy it." ”
"In this case, why don't you give an edict for the king, gather all the actors from all over the world, and come here to make fun of the king, how about it?" Nangong Xing's eyes were blazing, and he stared at Hong Xin tightly.
And Hong Xin didn't seem to notice Nangong Xing's gaze, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, saying, "That's very good." ”
Nangong Xing was satisfied, he arched his hand, and said: "From today onwards, the king will be playing and having fun in the palace, and I will be responsible for the national affairs." ”
In other kingdoms, if any courtier dares to say such things to the king, I am afraid that he will be put to death. However, in this mountain corner country, there is a rebel minister Nangong Xing who dares to speak like this!
Hong Xin's heart twitched, but the expression on his face did not change, and he still replied with a smile: "Then there is Minister Lao Guo." ”
Nangong Xingzhi was complacent, and he didn't say anything to leave, turned around and left.
Seeing that Nangong Xing was gone, Hong Xin was still standing still, he didn't want to move, but out of fear and anger, he was so angry that he stood in place and trembled: This powerful minister has been so presumptuous, forcing the palace today, so will it be far away to kill the king and seize the throne in the future? !
Xia Yan on the side knew that today's incident was caused by herself, and said guiltily: "King, it was Xia Yan who dragged you down." ”
Hong Xin smiled bitterly and said, "You and I grew up together, what are you talking about?"
Xia Yan saw Hong Xin's expression was gloomy, and she looked depressed and pitiful. She bit her lip and plucked up the courage to approach.
Holding one of Hong Xin's hands with both hands, and putting it on his beautiful cheek, Xia Yan snorted and said: "If the king feels depressed in his heart, let Xia Yan be angry, anyway, I am your person after all." ”
At that moment, it would be false to say that you were not impressed. Hong Xin is a human being in two lives, and his life has undergone great changes, and it is the time to hope for a sense of belonging or affection. But......
In the end, Hong Xin still shook his head.
Xia Yan left, and Hong Xin, who was lost in his soul, stayed in the attic for a long time.
Nangong Xing did not break his promise, since that day he has summoned strange people from all over the world, but all those who can have fun during the banquet are all collected by him into the palace and dedicated to Hong Xin for fun. Nangong Xing did this, on the one hand, so that Hong Xin had no time to take care of the government, and on the other hand, he also used the sound of dogs and horses to kill Hong Xin's will, and wanted to completely turn Hong Xin into a person with no ambitions.
To this end, Nangong Xing spared no effort. His proclamations spread not only throughout the country of the mountains, but even across the borders of the country, to the streets and alleys of the neighboring vassal states. And all the vassal states on the Dongzhou Continent regard Zhou Tianzi as their suzerain, and they can be regarded as having a brotherly friendship with each other, so they will turn a blind eye to such things.
Therefore, the news of the king of the mountain corner Hongxin Guang's summoning of the opera people spread for a while, and it was laughed at by the princes and scholars of the world.
And Hong Xin, who has been completely reduced to a puppet, has no choice, he can only deal with batches of people in the palace every day, watch one song and dance, acrobatics, and storytelling after another, and pretend to be happy and happy. But in fact, there was a lack of entertainment in this era, and the so-called performances were far less than the world in which Hong Xin once lived.
On this day, Hong Xin also "watched" Nangong Xingjin's performance dedicated to himself in the palace as usual.
He first listened to a singing with incomplete tones, then watched an ugly dance, and watched a trick full of loopholes, and afterwards he only felt that the whole person had become bad.
"Hahaha, reward!" Hong Xin still pretended to be happy and commanded loudly.
The artists who had been rewarded went in high spirits, and then the next group was summoned. It was two jugglers, an old man and a young man, who moved out a white screen to cover their whole bodies, and only put their arms through the screen, and each manipulated a puppet to start performing a puppet show. Because their sleeves are also white, their arms seem to blend in with the screen, and the silk threads that control the dolls are so thin and transparent that it's hard to spot anything unusual without looking closely.
Hong Xin escaped by pretending to like puppet shows that day, so he naturally had to pretend to be very interested in puppet shows, so he spent a little more time on acting. Who knows, as soon as the performance began, he was completely attracted to his attention.
There are many highlights of the performance, but the most striking thing is the two dolls themselves. Although the two dolls are only half human tall, they are vividly depicted, with facial features, fingers, and skin, and they look like living people when they raise their hands and feet.
The best part is that the two people behind the screen, one old and one young, can also match the voices of two puppets, and although there are only two of them, they can make dozens of different sounds, so that the different puppets that appear in a performance have their own voices. Even, they can simulate a woman's voice! Hong Xin obviously saw that there were two men, an old man and a young man, who had just entered the screen!
Surprised, Hongxin gradually calmed down, and he waited until the end of the performance before he finally stood up and said, "Well done! I have a lot of rewards! Come with me quickly, let's discuss the essence of puppet performance." ”
