To say that the origin of this burlesque, the beginning is not aimed at the current courtiers, but the Confucian saint as the object of ridicule, commonly known as "Confucius", is not prosperous in the people, at first it was in the court, Zhou Wuzong felt that it was witty and interesting, and it also had an edifying effect on the people, which was promoted to the people, but when governing the world, it caused many Confucian ministers to be dissatisfied, and there was also a joint letter to the court to ask for advice, and strive for ban.

But Zhou Wuzong insisted on not being courteous to the people, and refuted the Confucian ministers' prohibition of rejection.

As time passed, even Confucian ministers gradually accepted such entertainment programs and were no longer restrained and pedantic.

Even though he was as stupid as Su Zong, when he heard that you advocated that he did not accept loyalty, he was furious and angry, and wanted to punish the crime with death, but in the end he was also discouraged by the courtiers, and he did not have the same knowledge as the lowly people, but he dismissed the courtiers a lot, which stifled the development of the excellent drama.

But in this era, there is no literary prison, let alone prohibiting the people from discussing the government in private, and most of the common people have no ability to rebel, as long as those in power still care about the name of benevolence and virtue, they will not go on a killing spree and make people feel angry.

Of course, Shi Niang understands that the Queen Mother is not actually a benevolent person, but now she needs the hearts of the people, where will expose the femme fatale because of two worthless advocacies, of course she will not step on Xie Ying's trap, and patiently tell the process of the excellent drama from the once popular to the gradual decline, and then express her opinion: "Emperor Suzong was forbidden to give preferential advice, and the introduction of the official and direct ministers was condemned as a failure, and the Queen Mother was benevolent and loved the people, and she was bound not to care about Yimin's ridicule." ”

Xie Ying was shocked!!

That's right, this is the era of feudal monarchy, the untouchables ridiculed the emperor, and the emperor wanted to punish the crime, but he was condemned by the officials? Isn't the privileged class supposed to be lawless? Even her cousin can rob people's daughters or something, Yuan Dezhi and Mao Wei don't know how much people's wealth they have seized and how many civilian families have been destroyed!!

In fact, Xie Ying didn't know that in her time and space, burlesque in the Tang and Song dynasties was also all the rage, especially in the Song Dynasty, for example, there was a prime minister in the Song Dynasty, Shi Miyuan, who accompanied the emperor to watch the play on the Xuande Gate during the Lantern Festival, and was openly ridiculed by Advocate, and immediately asked his family to "In the future, the Prime Minister's Mansion banquet is not allowed to invite the servants to perform burlesque", since the Prime Minister's Mansion has a banquet, and there will be no miscellaneous dramas for 20 years, but in other places, the burlesque is performed correctly, and Prime Minister Shi does not dare to publicly arrest the Lingren and punish the crime, Because it is the tradition of burlesque in the Song Dynasty to make fun of high-ranking officials, even Wang Anshi, Cai Jing, Qin Hui and other powerful ministers have been teased, and generally speaking, the servants will not be punished for this.

There is a saying: "This is a precept, and it is hidden in the admonition, so it is revealed from the stool, and it is called 'no worm' ear." ”

If you care about you, you will lose your bearing, and there is no suspicion of annoyance and shame here, the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and the ruler should be more broad-minded, if the Empress Dowager Wei is really narrow-minded and cares with the servants and civilians, even if she has the dignity of listening to the government, the Qingshu history pen can't let her go, and she must be left stinking for 10,000 years.

A person like the Queen Mother, who is bent on surpassing Empress Wen and striving to win the reputation of Yao Shun among the women, at least at the moment of internal and external troubles, is not carried away by vanity at this time, how can he take advantage of his precious reputation for the unworthy untouchables?

Her butcher's knife will only fall towards the real threat, just like the Pei Zheng clan.

As for turning a blind eye to the illegal acts of the party henchmen, it is also a matter of interests, if one day there is no need for Xie, Mao and others, robbing the people's daughters and bullying the people are the most suitable handles, do you want to continue the lawlessness of the privileged class? Then don't lose the ability to be used as a person.

Xie Ying didn't even realize that her father and brother actually didn't dare to break the law and discipline, which is also Xie Raoping's strict discipline of his children and grandchildren, but because Xie Raoping is not the eldest son of the family and does not inherit the heir, he is unable to manage the nephew's clansmen's occasional bullying "harmless" behavior.

It's just that Xie Ying is unwilling to be so easy and forgiving and dare to disrespect her grandfather's advocacy because of her selfish intentions, and she is even more unwilling to lose the superiority of the privileged class, so she tried her best to find fault with the right and wrong: "The excellent drama has declined from prosperity to decline, which shows that it is still shocked by the monarch's deterrence, and these two excellent actors now dare to frame the queen mother in Kyoto for improper governance, maybe there are people with ill intentions behind it." ”

Instigation, this is certain, but Eleven Niang doesn't want to watch this Chen's "two heroes" become cannon fodder, in fact, the sarcasm of the two is also a fact. is all Webster's executioner, who deserves to be left behind for 10,000 years, and he doesn't need to pay attention to the people behind them, whether it is the King of Ruyang or the Guild of Emergency.

took the trouble to instruct Xie Ying to calm the matter: "Of course the Queen Mother will not let go of the behind-the-scenes operators, but she really wants to punish the criminals, isn't it just as the operators wish?" ”

This statement makes a lot of sense, and Xie Ying is discouraged.

With a turn of the brain, there is another trick.

So the rhetoric flattered the eleventh mother, and unconsciously arrived at the lantern tower set up by His Royal Highness the King of Jin near the Chunming Gate.

This is the long street that crosses the imperial city from west to east, the so-called lamp tower set up in the north and south, all are temporarily built by dignitaries, and the Tianjie mountain shed leading to the north and south is actually roughly the same, all are decorated with Chinese lanterns, there are performers singing and dancing on it, the difference is that there is a grandstand in the wing of the building, for the nobles to sit, drink and enjoy the lamp, the height of the stand is half a zhang, the brocade tent is generally set up on the east and west sides, there is also the embroidered screen jade couch embellishment, people sit on it, the audience gathers singing and dancing and hundreds of opera people wander and interpret, the reward is like rain, the time is noisy and undulating, but the order is not the slightest disorder.

The nobles can also walk around to congratulate, commonly known as "string building", of course, the common people can also set up a special passage downstairs, looking at the noble life of the nobles.

Jin Wang Ye because of the only princely title, his lamp tower is of course located in the section closest to Xingqing Palace, not far from the East City, almost only a straight street, Liu Bin has never dealt with the King of Jin in the past, today when I see the King of Jin, I feel that he is approachable, and the rumors are false, and the fear is eliminated, there are many words, and I can't help but guess on the way: "The lamp tower placed by His Royal Highness will inevitably gather guests at this time." ”

He Ye has lived in the palace since he opened the palace, this is the first year to set up a lantern tower on the road during the Shangyuan Festival - the old Lantern Festival, the national funeral has not passed, although the major nobles have not been held to celebrate the banquet, the banquet in the palace has not been restored, He Ye as He Yan's blood siblings, although he only needs to serve a year of mourning, it is still not good to hold a banquet in the old years.

Because he had no experience, He Ye also took it for granted: "Naturally." ”

How do you know that when you arrive at the lamp tower of the Jin Palace, although there are also people who perform on the street to beg for rewards, but there are only a few royal officials sitting in the stands on one side, and there are a few female dependents sitting upside down on the other side of the stands, the King of Jin did not marry a concubine, and the entertainment matters had to be explained to the Qin Ruren, so these female dependents, of course, are from the Wuwei Hou Mansion, it is Mrs. Hou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as Qin Ji's cousins.

Compared with many guests in the Guiwang Lantern Tower, this place is simply a crowd.

Liu Bin: ......

He Ye: ......

This is really to blame His Royal Highness the King of Jin for being notorious, and the Kyoto gentlemen generally avoid it, where do they dare to take the initiative to provoke, and the ladies dare not have anything to do with the Jin Palace, for fear that this living king of Hades will count on his own daughter. Among the relatives and friends of the clan, the king of Nanyang is still in the calyx building to the banquet, the princess is old and did not go out to blow the cold wind to join in this lively, even Yingyang Zhenren is very tired of this cookie-cutter night drink in the lantern tower, stay in the palace to accompany the princess, Nanyang Wangfu lantern tower only a few juniors, has always been very in awe of His Royal Highness King Jin, not to mention the Ruyang palace and other branches, and He Ye was at odds with him, although the lamp tower is also nearby, but none of them came to the building.

Liu Zhang, as an elder brother, has always been more stable than Liu Bin, and seeing the embarrassment of his younger brother and King Jin's big eyes, he hurriedly turned around: "I thought that His Royal Highness was driving in the Calyx Tower today, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness to go to the Lantern Tower, it's better to be quiet, it's time for us to drink and talk about watching the lanterns." ”

His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who was very unpopular, had no choice but to laugh dryly, lead the way in front with his hands behind his back, and did not wait politely with Mrs. Hou, bowed his head slightly and returned the salute, and explained to Qin Ji in a cold voice: "There are a few guests here, and the front is too noisy, so set the banquet to the back seat." He raised his feet and walked around a picture screen, passed through the corridor connecting the front and rear stands, and led a series of guests to the back seat.

Qin Ji was about to arrange the wine and food in person, but Jiang Yu stepped forward to persuade him: "If you need to be troubled, please accompany Mrs. Hou to enjoy the lanterns with peace of mind." ”

Qin's mother, Jiang, asked her daughter in a low voice without worry: "When you returned home in the old year, didn't you say that His Highness treated you very well, isn't it a word of comfort?" ”

Qin Ji originally wanted to use his grandmother's mouth to reassure his grandfather, who was about to go on an expedition, but her grandmother and mother didn't know the hidden truth, and she couldn't tell the truth at this time, so she had to vaguely go over: "Your Highness is just not good at words." ”

The Jiang family paid special attention to Xie and Liu in that group of people earlier, and then said: "In my opinion, in the future, the princess of Jin is afraid that she will be among Xie Liuniang and Liu Shiyi Niang, if Liu Shiyi Niang is also repaid, although she is born in the world, she is a concubine, she will not be too rude, and she will look good with some, but in case the Queen Mother chooses Xie Liuniang, she is the granddaughter of Xie Xiangguo, and is regarded as a palm bead by the elders in the family. At this time, I will build a striking field with His Royal Highness, I heard that the two often intersect, it can be seen that His Royal Highness is different from her, if she really becomes the princess of Jin, she will definitely be favored, but I am afraid that I will not allow concubines. ”

The Jiang family was full of worries, but Mrs. Hou didn't care: "Even so, Ji'er is no better than those nameless concubines, as long as you are careful and respectful, Princess Jin can't be too difficult and arbitrarily humiliated, I only ask God to pray to the Buddha, I hope that Ji'er will give birth to an heir for His Royal Highness as soon as possible, so that she will have more reliance." ”

The topic of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was crooked, and they cared about Qin Ji's body, and asked Qin Ji not to be irritable.

Where will the Queen Mother allow her to give birth to her eldest son before the princess? I'm afraid that for a long time in the future, she will have to endure the child-avoiding soup presented by Jiang Yuan, for fear that the heir will be born safely, and she will not be able to avoid the queen mother's plot, everything has to wait for the ambition of the king of Jin to be achieved, so that she can rest assured and boldly give birth to an heir.

I heard Jiang Shi say again: "It's strange to say, the Queen Mother gave the palace people as concubines a few years ago, even if that one is not very favored, the Hu family has always been favored by His Royal Highness, why there is no slight news, isn't it, His Royal Highness is ......."

Qin Ji hurriedly stopped: "Auntie, don't guess, this is also said casually?" ”

It was easy to terminate this topic, Qin Ji sighed slightly, but the boredom in her heart was not dispelled at all, according to her judgment, in the future, Princess Jin is indeed one of Xie and Liu, she is not worried that King Jin will fall in love with these two people, the two are clearly the eyes and ears of the Queen Mother, if the King of Jin wants to become a big thing, he will inevitably be on the embankment of Princess Jin, according to Qin Ji, compared to Xie Liuniang, Liu Shiniang seems to be more hidden in the city, not so easy to deal with, and Liu Shiniang is a student of Yingyang Zhenren, and King Jin has always respected Yingyang Zhenren, If you can really achieve great things in the future, in case Yingyang Zhenren supports Liu Shiyi Niang, I don't know if King Jin can really be ruthless, in case he is soft-hearted, although he will not canonize Liu Shiyi Niang as the queen, leaving his life is also endless.

Because if there is no accident, Princess Jin, as the queen mother's confidant, should rob Mr. of the heir, if she can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, she may not be able to rely on her son in the future.

Therefore, Qin Ji instead hopes that Xie Ying will become the princess of Jin, her family is loyal to the queen mother, and after the king of Jin gains power, it will not be tolerated, Xie Liuniang will die sooner or later, even if she has an heir, she is afraid that she will not be able to clean it up?

Liu Shi Niang's threat is even greater!
