Chapter 318: White Hair

As the weather gets colder, Zhao Ta's theater has been opened, not the kind of tiles that are common on the street, and the juggling tricks inside are complete, but a simple theater, which only performs sets of plays and music books.

The location of the theater Qi Hongyu searched for a few places, and finally Zhao Ta settled on a place on Quyuan Street in Nancheng.

This Quyuan Street is next to Suzaku Street, located in the west of the Royal Street, not far from Xiangguo Temple on the top, and Suzaku Street on the bottom, very close to the broken jade building.

There is a reason why Zhao Ta chose this place, this Quyuan Street is a more lively place in the southwest city, almost all the people living in this area are civilians, and it is close to the outer city, and the people from the outer city walk around the inner city, and most of them are also hanging out here.

Zhao Ta's advocacy of opera has never been a whim, although there is already a prototype of newspapers in this era, but after all, it is not something that ordinary people can buy and watch.

Therefore, if you want to grasp the initiative of public opinion and spread some news and ideas to the people, you can only use opera to interpret it in the form of performance.

Regardless of the lyrics or the content of the opera excerpts, the speed of transmission is extremely fast, especially some new repertoire, you don't necessarily have to see it with your own eyes, but once it spreads ten, ten or hundred, within a few days, the market will spread the stories sung in this repertoire.

Through opera, gradually grasp the public opinion orientation of the market, and then release some ideas to the people, this is Zhao Ta's real purpose.

And this purpose is only to deal with the world warriors in the future.

The real internal contradictions between the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Great Song Dynasty for hundreds of years have never been civil and military antagonisms, nor are they enemies of monarchs and ministers, nor are they like fire and water among the people of the court.

It is the contradiction between the scholars, the scholars and the king, and the contradictions between the scholars and the people.

The one who destroyed the Great Song Dynasty and hollowed out the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty was the Shi clan, and the Shi clan was the biggest moth of the Great Song Dynasty.

Even about Yue Fei's death, when later generations debated which of the crimes was greater, Zhao Gou or Qin Hui, they forgot about the scholars.

Some people say that Zhao Gou doesn't speak, who dares to kill Yue Fei! The reason is right, after all, Zhao Gou is the emperor.

Some people also said that Qin Hui was a spy of the Jin Kingdom, and he definitely wanted Yue Fei to die! That's right, Qin Hui is indeed a spy sent back by the Jin State, Yue Fei advocated the Northern Expedition, and he wanted to kill Yue Fei.

But there are a couple of problems here.

It is a bit ridiculous to say that Zhao Gou was afraid that Yue Fei would kill Yue Fei because he would take back the second emperor of Huiqin and make him lose the throne.

According to the system and social situation at that time, even if Yue Fei really had the ability to take back the second emperor, it would be impossible for the second emperor to ascend to the throne again.

Scholars cannot be stained, not to mention that the emperor of this dynasty is the biggest scholar.

And although this proposition sounds full of gimmicks, in fact, it can be solved as long as Yue Fei is deprived of his military power, and it will not kill Yue Fei at all.

The Song Dynasty deprived the military of military power, and repeated use abounded, Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, etc., were deprived of military power.

Zhao Gou is not a fool, he didn't use such a simple method, but killed Yue Fei and destroyed the Great Wall, which doesn't make sense.

There is also a saying that Yue Fei was involved in the matter of Prince Li, and asked Zhao to establish the prince several times.

Is this a big deal? Isn't it the minister's duty to suggest that the emperor establish a prince?

During the Renzong Dynasty, there was this kind of recital almost every day, and even in the Zhezong Dynasty, there were ministers from time to time who wanted Zhezong to choose the children of the sect to be the prince.

Therefore, these two reasons for Zhao Gou to kill Yue Fei are basically far-fetched and not valid at all.

Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei, probably not because of these.

Then look at Qin Hui again, Qin Hui slandered and wanted to kill Yue Fei, can Zhao Gou easily listen to it?

Qin Hui is not only a spy sent back by the Jin State, but also a representative of the scholar clan, Qin Hui put forward the famous "southerners return to the south, northerners return to the north" theory.

Those who advocated that those who fled from the north to the south should return to the Jin people.

This argument made Zhao Gou angry and cursed, and Zhao Gou said, "I am from the north, and I will return to peace"?!

Qin Hui and Zhao Gou are in conflict.

Whose interests is his argument in line? Of course, it is beneficial to the Jin State, but it is more to the southern scholars.

Qin Hui has a conflict with Zhao Gou, and he is suspected of surrendering, why has he been able to sit firmly in the court for so many years? It was the support of the Jin people and the southern scholars that made Qin Hui the prime minister for so many years.

Does Zhao Gou know this? Naturally, he knew, but Zhao Gou was helpless about it!

But at this time, Qin Hui still couldn't move Yue Fei by himself, and Zhao Gou wouldn't allow Qin Hui to move Yue Fei.

During the Jingkang Revolution, the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty gave the second emperor of Huiqin and the clan in Tokyo to the Jin people, and the Jin people presided over and the scholars elected to establish a Great Chu State headed by Zhang Bangchang.

But this Chu state did not have an army, and Zhang Bangchang was a Song minister, not recognized by the common people, so it was not long before he was abandoned by the scholars, and they soon changed Zhao Gou to the emperor.

Zhao Gou was twenty years old when he ascended the throne, he had a good temperament and a royal education, although he was frightened by the Jin soldiers when he fled south, how could he be easily controlled by these scholars?

So when Zhao Gou was on the throne for just over two years, he suffered a mutiny.

In the third year of Jianyan, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, using the local army in Hangzhou, surrounded Zhao Gou's palace, forced Zhao Gou to abdicate, and gave the throne to his son, who was only two or three years old.

At that time, Miao Liu forced the palace in the name of killing traitorous ministers and Qing Jun's side, but this reason could not stand scrutiny at all, as long as you thought about it a little, you knew that it was too false.

Because if you really serve the country and the people, how can you support a two- or three-year-old child as the emperor?

This is simply nonsense, ignoring the society and the society, for the sake of control, because children are easier to grasp.

Sure enough, then the horse's feet were revealed, and the Jiangnan Shi clan controlled the government in the name of Meng Ke's descendant, the Empress Dowager Longyou.

This is a typical Wenchen collusion harem!

But this time the Miao-Liu mutiny occurred in Hangzhou, and the Western Army did not know about it at first.

The Song Dynasty was martial in the north and merchant-heavy in the south, and most of the elite troops were hereditary military households from the north.

The changes of Huizong and Gaozong, including the monopoly of salt tea and the recovery of minerals, were aimed at the south and had little impact on the military households in the northwest.

As a result, the southern scholars did not say hello, and dared to abolish the emperor if they got a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals, which was a joke for the Western Army, where would the Western Army compromise this kind of thing.

Then the Northwest Army represented by Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong led troops back to Hangzhou from the front line.

The main force of Miao Liu's mutiny was Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan was captured from Fujian and returned to Hangzhou, directly chopped into meat paste, and then re-established Zhao as emperor.

Because of the reinvention of Liu Guangshi and others, Zhao Gou's reliance on the Northwest Army is incomprehensible.

Zhao Gou gave Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong respectively, the titles of envoys of the three towns, and the title of auxiliary meritorious hero, these two titles were not available to Yue Fei.

In addition, Zhao Gou also replaced all the pro-army around him with the Northwest Army, and there was no Southern Army.

This is also the reason why although Zhao Gou is in Hangzhou, the Jurchen forces represented by Qin Hui or the Shi clan forces in the south cannot move him.

However, after Zhao Gou regained the throne, he found that although the Northwest Army supported him as emperor, it did not support his Northern Expedition.

Especially Liu Guangshi, after Liu Guangshi met Jin Bing, not only did he not fight, but even openly disobeyed the holy order and ran back.

Why is that?

Because after the Jingkang Revolution, although the north was nominally controlled by the Jurchens, as a tribe, the Jurchens did not have the energy or the population to control such a huge territory, including the entire Liao State and the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty.

The north is actually in the hands of the big families.

And for the sake of territory and benefits, whether politically or morally, there is no lower limit, everything can be promised, and anything can be promised.

For example, Qin Hui's father-in-law, Wang Zhongshan, is in Fuzhou, Jiangxi, Ren Zhizhou, but he actually has a large amount of land in Jinan, Shandong, which has long been occupied by the Jin State, and these are naturally given by the Jin State.

In order to win over the Great Song Shi clan, the Jin State could pay a lot of price, recognize all their assets in the north, and give more generous conditions.

To put it simply, the land of the scholar clan does not need to pay taxes, which Zhao Gou can't do.

The Southern Song Dynasty scholars originally annexed land to evade taxes and avoid servitude, and called it "guarding wealth for the country", and these words were all saved in the Jin State.

Liu Guangshi himself is a general in the northwest, and he has a large amount of land in the northwest, so what motivation do you give him to fight in the north?

Zhao Gou saw this, so he began to weaken Liu Guangshi's military power and support Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others.

Han Shizhong Yue Fei is a commoner with no family background and nothing, so he can only follow Zhao Gouming.

You need money to support these people, and where does the money come from, only taxes!

In this way, Zhao Gou fell into a vicious circle, the Northern Expedition needed to be taxed, the raising of soldiers needed to be taxed, and the cultivation of the descendants needed to be taxed, but the more taxes were levied, the more the scholars hated him.

In the tenth year of Shaoxing, a decree of Zhao Gou completely led to the murder of Yue Fei, and even Han Shizhong almost lost his life.

"History of the Song Dynasty" records that in February of the tenth year of Shaoxing, Gao Zong's edict: the new Fuzhou army searched for Yinyi, and the manager of Zhulu was Tuntian.

This means that the newly recovered northern states and counties will be confiscated as soon as they discover the fields hidden by the gentry and the fields that have not paid taxes to the state.

The military, that is, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, and several other military commanders, directly took over, and the private land was changed to the official field, and the military tun was changed.

In all dynasties, it was a common phenomenon for scholars to hide their land, and Zhao Gou suddenly demanded that the hidden private land be confiscated directly, which was too big and too radical.

He forgot that Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, and even Zhang Jun's subordinates Yang Yizhong and Wang De, these veteran military households in the northwest, they themselves have a lot of hidden land and private land, so as soon as Zhao Gou's edict came out, the Northwest Army and the southern scholars completely joined forces.

However, soldiers still have to be raised, taxes still have to be levied, and military salaries still have to be paid.

So Zhao Gou came up with a series of national policies to borrow land from the gentry, or even enclose land, so that those gentry and landlords temporarily handed over the land to the army or the imperial court, and directly used the rent money to raise the soldiers to solve the problem of military salaries.

According to the "Food and Goods Chronicle" of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou first sent civil officials to take charge of the enclosure and tuntian work, but due to the fierce opposition of the gentry and landlords, Zhao Gou had to let the local marshals manage the enclosure and tuntian work, and under the army and force, this work was barely carried out, and Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were the "marshal ministers" who were in charge.

Therefore, those who really want Yue Fei to die are not only the Jin Kingdom, but also the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty!

Qin Hui united on behalf of the Jin State and the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty to oppose it, and at this time, Zhao Gou actually softened, and began to compromise under the coercion step by step, and wanted to take the blame for his loyal ministers and generals.

Even Han Shizhong was among those who must die, but Han Shizhong saw that something was not good, and took the initiative to go to Zhao Gou to cry, revealing the scars when he rescued the driver.

And Han Shizhong also donated all his family wealth and temporary military salaries.

These are all things that Yue Fei did not have, and in the end, Yue Fei died unjustly and Han Shizhong resigned.

Maybe Han Shizhong can save his life, which is also the result of bargaining between Zhao Gou and the Shi clan.

Therefore, Yue Fei died at the hands of Zhao Gou, Qin Hui and the Shi clan.

And now, no matter whether Zhao Ta supports the Song Dynasty in the future, or rebels against the Song Dynasty, in addition to dealing with the Jin State openly, he also has to deal with the Great Song Shi clan who have been in power for many years.

But if you want to deal with the scholars, the emperor can't, because the scholars pinch the emperor's weakness, and the ministers of the court can't, because these ministers themselves are the representatives of the scholars, and the generals of the Western Army can't do it, because the generals of the Western Army and the scholars have common interests.

Only ordinary people!

Only the common people can become the greatest force against the nobles.

Why was Fang La able to fight a small country war? It is because almost all the disciples of the Ming Sect are ordinary people, who have no interests with the scholars, and are even bullied and exploited by the scholars, and they hate the scholars.

What Zhao Ta has to do is to plant a seed and wait for it to sprout.

And this kind of seed is buried on the stage, and then let it slowly spread all over the world......

Zhao Ta was in the room to read the lyrics of the big song written by Xiao Niang, and he named this thing the script.

Xiao Niang has finished writing, a total of five folds, and has not yet been named, Xiao Niang asked him to name it.

Zhao Ta thought for a while and said, "Just call the white hair to remember." ”

Xiaoniang nodded and said, "This name is good, it matches the play." ”

Zhao Ta looked down.

The little lady looked at him nervously, for fear that he would say that he did not write well.

After Zhao Ta looked at it for a while, he shook his head and said: "It's not intense enough, the contradiction is not prominent, hey, this girl called Le'er is not miserable enough!" ”

Xiao Niang bowed her head: "Lang Jun, I think it's already miserable!" ”

Zhao Ta said: "You write miserably, but you may not be able to perform it on stage, so it must be reflected in the lyrics of this music." ”

The little lady looked up at him: "Please also ask Lang Jun to teach me." ”

Zhao Ta saw that she was delicate and soft, so she leaned forward: "What does the lady want me to teach?" Haven't you already taught a lot. ”

The little lady immediately blushed: "Naturally...... Screenplay. ”

Zhao Ta smiled: "This is simple, I'll change it for you at the beginning." ”

After speaking, he took Xiaohao, dipped it in ink, and added before the lyrics of the music on the paper:

The north wind blows, the snowflakes float, the snowflakes flutter, the year comes.

Daddy went out to hide the account, and he didn't pay it back for seven days, I waited for Daddy at home, waiting for Daddy to come home for the New Year.

Other people's daughters have flowers to wear, and my father can't buy them with little money, so he cut off three inches of wattle branches and made them into hairpins for me to tie up.

The little lady watched Zhao Ta write without blinking, a soft light appeared on her face, and she suddenly hugged Zhao Ta gently.

Zhao Ta said: "There is also Le'er going up the mountain here, and I have to add some words." ”

Xiao Niang said: "Lang Jun, please write." ”

Zhao Ta thought for a moment and wrote:

If you want to kill me, blind your eye sockets! Scoop up water that doesn't dry, fire that can't be extinguished!

I don't die, I want to live! I want revenge, I want to live!

I can't draw a thousand grievances, ten thousand hatreds, thousands of hatreds, thousands of hatreds, thousands of hatreds, to my bones, in my heart!

After he finished writing, he suddenly threw away the pen and said, "And that splash, I have to add words, and I will write it later." ”

Xiao Niang was curious: "Lang Jun, why do you want to write it later." ”

Zhao said: "Now there is something to do. ”

The little lady was puzzled: "What is the ...... business?"

Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Ta picked her up by the waist and walked to the side of the couch: "Important business." ”

Xiao Niang whispered: "Lang Jun, it's daytime." ”

Zhao Ta smiled slightly, walked inside, and gently put the little lady on the couch......
