Chapter 176: He... He is Zhu Chongba!!
As more and more spectators entered the venue according to the designated numbers on their tickets and took their seats, the whole competition officially began at the predetermined time.
At this time, on the periphery of the scene.
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, hid in the corner and looked at everything outside, and said suspiciously: "Why hasn't the old man come yet?" Second, do you think the old man is fooling us brothers again? ”
At this time, the second child, Zhu Gaoxu, was also a little uncertain.
What the hell is this old man doing?
said that he was coming, but now the scene has already opened, but he has not yet appeared.
Either he didn't come, or the boss didn't come.
The two of them have been staying here and secretly observing from the beginning, and if the old man or the boss comes, it is absolutely impossible to hide it from their brothers.
Although they did not guard directly at the gate of the palace, the path next to their small building was the only passage they arranged for this competition.
It makes no sense to say that the old man, the eldest and the sister-in-law walked in front of their eyes but couldn't find it.
Just as they were confused, a subordinate suddenly ran over.
"Back to Lord Han, the position you explained has been seen by the subordinates, and there are already people sitting there."
Hearing the words of this subordinate, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, suddenly looked at Zhu Gaosui, the third child beside him, in surprise.
The third child on the side, Zhu Gaosui, was also full of incredulity.
After thinking for a moment, the second child immediately said, "Let's go, take us to have a look." ”
"Yes."
Along the way, King Han and King Zhao followed the subordinate and came straight to the height of the finals scene.
They all looked in the direction of the man's finger.
Although the scene is also very large under their design, it is now ancient after all, and there is no big screen like in later generations.
All performances are presented in the form of live opera.
So although the scale of this site is large, it is also a little larger than its contemporaries.
Today, the entire site has been designed on the largest scale.
No matter how big it is, the audience at the scene will not be able to see the performance on that stage clearly.
Therefore, the King of Han and the King of Zhao, who were standing on this high place at this time, could also clearly see the scene there under the fingers of the people under them.
But what disappointed them was that the person sitting in the chair was not the old man Zhu Di they had guessed.
There is no prince Zhu Gaochi and crown princess Zhang Yan as they expected.
Just three faces that they didn't know at all, and were even very unfamiliar.
Looking at this scene, the second and third children are really confused.
What the hell is going on?
At this moment, Zhu Gaosui, the third child on the side, also asked, "Second child, what should I do now?" ”
Listening to the third Zhu Gaosui's inquiry, the second child glanced at the people next to him and signaled that he could go down.
Only then did the second child speak: "Now the old man has not come, and the boss and the princess have not come, this matter is strange inside and out, let's take a look first, as for Zhu Zhanji's kid's matter, I ordered someone not to do anything first." ”
Regarding the words of the second child, although the third Zhu Gaosui was also a little disappointed in his heart, he could only reluctantly accept this fact.
After all, this man didn't come, and no matter how clever their plan was, it would be useless.
Thinking of this, I also sighed in my heart.
The second child on the side also felt very sorry in his heart.
I have planned it, as long as the old man shows up, I can take advantage of this opportunity to make the old man and Zhu Zhanji's kid meet 'by chance'.
In this way, he Zhu Gaoxu can be regarded as having a good face from now on.
At the same time, I can also take advantage of this opportunity to borrow the old man's hand to teach Zhu Gaosui's kid a lesson.
Although he doesn't plan to do anything about this matter itself, and he will do what he said to the third child Zhu Gaosui before, but whether the old man will teach Zhu Gaosui that kid a lesson, he still needs conclusive evidence?
For the old man, it's mainly that he thinks you did it, and that's what you did.
It's not a trial in Dali Temple, what other physical evidence and human evidence are needed.
At that time, the third child can only suffer this dumb loss.
In the past, I can also say that the old man is unreasonable, and it is not that he Zhu Gaoxu is unreasonable.
But no matter how shrewd his calculations were, now that the old man and the boss are not here, they are all blind.
This is still very frustrating for Zhu Gaoxu, the second child who is eager to do something and prove something.
At this time, the venue of the tournament is in.
The old man Zhu Di, the prince Zhu Gaochi, and the crown princess Zhang Yan were in the corner of the venue, happily watching the opera performance on the stage.
Although the official performance had not yet begun at this time, just watching this lively scene was enough for them to enjoy, after all, such an environment, and the feeling of being under the stands and hidden among the crowd, they experienced it for the first time.
At this time, the crown princess Zhang Yan looked at the performance that was about to start on the stage, and suddenly excitedly dragged the prince Zhu Gaochi next to her, and shouted: "It's started!" ”
Listening to his wife's excited voice, Zhu Gaochi suddenly smiled.
However, he didn't pay too much attention to the upcoming performance.
In his opinion, no matter how good an opera performance is, how good can it be?
That's it.
Compared with watching this performance, being able to come over with his father and wife is what he really values Zhu Gaochi.
After all, I have lived so big, but there are not many opportunities like this.
The first half of his life struggled to survive.
In the second half of his life, he lived for the common people in the world.
Until now, I really haven't found any opportunity to have a happy fight with my family.
As the host on the stage finished his opening remarks, then the actors who performed also appeared on the stage.
It's just that compared with the familiar operas in their impressions, this time, it seems very different.
When the performance on that stage began, everyone present couldn't help but look at the stage.
"Smack!"
A whip was heard.
Although on the surface, it was pumped on the person kneeling on the stage at this time, but in fact, it was pumped on the ground, and through a dislocation, such a real scene was presented.
And the audience who saw this scene below couldn't help but gasp.
Meantime.
Everyone's attention was completely attracted by this whip.
"Do you pay taxes or grains?"
The man who knelt on the ground was an official in the clothes of an errand officer.
stared at the person in front of him with a fierce face.
And after being whipped by the official, the old peasant who was kneeling on the ground and dressed as a man immediately wailed in pain, and at the same time shouted in pain: "Lord Guancha, we really have no food!" ”
"The dolls in the house haven't eaten for days!"
But in the face of this person's explanation, the official did not listen to these at all, and the whip in his hand was drawn on him again.
"If you can't pay your taxes today, it's your time to die!"
With that, another whip was drawn.
The old peasant, who was already thin from the outside, fell to the ground in an instant under the whips of this official, unable to move.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say anything.
"Master!"
A wail rang out from the background.
Immediately afterwards, a peasant woman ran to the stage with several dolls around her.
Under everyone's gaze, the peasant woman came to the official with such a small bag of grain in both hands, and then said pleadingly: "Master Guancha, this is the grain we will plant next year, you can do well, let us go!" ”
In the face of the peasant woman's plea, the official did not have the slightest mercy, his eyes just glanced coldly at the grain seed in the grain bag, and then took it in his hand with one hand.
snorted coldly, then looked at the old peasant who was already dying on the ground, and whipped it up again: "Didn't you say no?" What is it?! It's just looking for death! ”
After that, he left without looking back.
And after the official left, the peasant woman ran to the old peasant on the ground in pain, and wailed in pain: "Be in charge! ”
However, in the face of the peasant woman's wail, the old peasant on the ground did not react at all.
At this time, the peasant woman looked at the old peasant who did not move at all on the ground, and then looked at the four directions, it was really a scene called the heavens and the earth to be spiritual.
With a sad soundtrack, the peasant woman performed a mournful rendition on the spot.
But in fact, it was not only the peasant woman who attracted the attention of the people around her, behind them, a child, who was looking at the scene in front of him in a daze, helpless.
With his palms clenched.
Teeth clenched.
This scene had already bred the seeds of hatred in his young heart.
After confirming that her man was dead, the woman also slammed her head against the wall.
The children on the side looked at their parents who died one after another, and the whole person cried bitterly.
Gradually, the first act ends.
Under the performance of a text on the stage, everyone knows that more than ten years have passed.
When the drama reappeared on that stage, it was more than ten years later.
The original child has also grown up.
At this time, he was dressed as a monk.
On his way to the fate, he encountered a lot of tribulations.
Robberies, murderers, kidnappings
Those actors use a special form of expression to express these contents in the form of action.
And that monk, like a ghost wandering in the world, is accustomed to seeing the cruelty and pain of this world.
I have seen too much pain of the common people.
After this series of content was presented, the style of the whole stage began to change.
The first few officials of the Yuan Dynasty appeared, and they were discussing where to find the thieves recently.
There is a required amount on it, and if you can't reach it, you will be punished.
So I thought of a way to find a few people from the people to take the blame.
And it is all said above, the price is clearly marked.
A human head, how much silver.
Not only can they be replenished by the heads of these people, but they can also earn a great deal of silver.
And the monk also appeared on the stage again.
He had just given his remaining half of a steamed bun to a little girl to keep her alive.
But he had just done a good deed, but instead of getting God's good reward, he was also arrested by those two officials.
and thou shalt take his head and count it.
No matter how the monk shouted and explained, the officials didn't believe it at all.
Seeing that he was about to be directly cut off by those officials, and then used his head as a thief to ask for a reward.
A team of men and horses suddenly killed.
They had red scarves tied around their heads.
After rushing over, he didn't say anything, and started to fight unscrupulously directly against the person in front of him.
In the end, all the officials were killed, and the monk was successfully saved.
However, instead of feeling glad about this, the monk sat on the ground, looking at the mud in front of him, and fell into deep thought.
He thought that as long as he was a monk and ignored the affairs of the world, he would not be affected by the chaos of this world.
But reality was telling him.
Even if he has been doing good deeds all his life.
Even if his parents died at the hands of those officers and soldiers, and he didn't choose revenge, he still couldn't escape.
As long as you live in this world, no matter what your identity is, you can't escape everything in this world.
Looking at the monk's appearance, a man with a red scarf tied to his head on the side looked at him.
"Monk, don't you run yet?"
But the monk stared blankly in the direction of the audience in front of him, and said as if muttering, "Run? Where to run? Where is the Promised Land? ”
Listening to the monk's words, the man with the red scarf on his head thought for a moment, looked at the long knife in his hand, and said, "I don't know where the Promised Land is, but I know that only when I have a knife in my hand can I see the Promised Land." ”
The man's tone was firm.
These words couldn't help but affect the monk who was kneeling on the ground.
The monk's eyes were blank and he repeated the words of the red turban soldier: "Only when you have a knife in your hand can you see the Promised Land. Only when you have a knife in your hand can you see the promised land."
"Only when you have a knife in your hand can you see the !! of the Promised Land"
Suddenly, the monk seemed to have an epiphany.
He suddenly understood.
He understood how to survive in this world.
Just like the words of the Red Turban.
Only with a knife in your hand can you see the promised land.
Only with a knife in your hand can you truly lay down a piece of paradise.
Paradise has never been something that can be found by eating fasting and reciting Buddha.
Paradise, in your own hands!
If you want the Promised Land to look like, use the knife in your hand to knock it down!
Moment.
The monk understood.
The monk got it all!
And the red turban soldier on the side looked at the monk's appearance, and didn't talk nonsense with him anymore, and in the shouts of the people behind him, he also turned around and left.
But at this moment, the monk who was paralyzed on the ground suddenly turned around and shouted to the officer and soldier: "Brother Red Turban! ”
Listening to the monk's shout, the red turban soldier grabbed the reins and turned his head to look at the monk in confusion.
At this moment, the monk shouted again: "Brother Red Turban, I want to go with you!" ”
The red turban soldier suddenly frowned and said, "Do you know that we are rebelling? ”
The monk nodded firmly.
"Aren't you afraid of being in a different place?"
The monk shook his head: "Don't be afraid!" ”
"Aren't you afraid of harming your family and beheading all over the house?"
"Don't be afraid, I am alone with the monk."
Seeing that this monk's attitude is so firm, coupled with the performance just now, I think I have already thought it through.
Seeing this, he stopped asking nonsense, but said to the monk, "What's your name?" ”
The monk immediately replied: "Zhu Chongba! ”
This time, the voice was unusually firm.
It also resounded throughout the venue.
Time.
All the spectators at the factory understood.
One by one, they looked at the actors on the stage dumbfounded.
Zhu Chongba.
In this Ming Dynasty, what a resounding name.
In addition to the shock at the name.
Everyone's hearts suddenly understood a lot of things at this moment.
They understood too many incredible things about Taizu.
also understood the reason why Taizu raised his troops.
It turned out that everything he performed just now was what happened to Taizu when he was a teenager!
After this performance was endowed with a sense of substitution for the role, the performance of this section became more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Compared with those audiences, the old man Zhu Di, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, and the crown princess Zhang Yan, who were also watching this performance at this time.
The shock in their hearts was far stronger than that of the ordinary audience present.
