The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 256: Little Sheep

A Bian opera outside the Cultural Hall actually ignited the passion of all the Liao nobles. That night, I begged to perform the play in its entirety, not to mention it. Afterwards, it was a collective application to take advantage of the Song Envoy still in Liao. , play it several times.

The officials of the Liao Kingdom were very embarrassed to ask Li Xingjian and the others to discuss it. They all came, and they naturally agreed. As a result, the Confucius class actually performed in the Liao Kingdom's palace for several days in a row, and it was still full.

Also, when the news spread outside the palace, many ordinary people of the Liao Kingdom were obsessively guarding outside the palace. Even if they couldn't hear the sound, they still wanted to see the famous Bian opera characters.

Shangjing is also an open city. It is the most prosperous area in the Liao Kingdom, with a lot of people.

There are so many people outside the palace. Sometimes when people from the Confucius family come in and out, they will sing a cappella for everyone according to Yun Yanhui's instructions.

No matter how much more, I will not sing, after all, there is an "artistic pursuit". Even at the request of the Liao Emperor, they were unwilling to perform.

These few words alone are enough to make the people linger, and more people came to contain them. Those who didn't know it thought that the Liao Kingdom was rioting.

Such a hot scene is unprecedented. After all, although the Liao State has a hundred acrobatic performances, one is not as lively and professional as the Song Dynasty, and the other is that Bian opera is different from other hundred operas and is a brand new art form.

The great charm of it has been proven in the Song Dynasty.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Xingzong once again entertained the Song envoys in their royal garden.

In the past few days, Xingzong also enjoyed the Bian opera performance again and again, and was very obsessed, so he wanted to discuss it with Song Envoy.

Yunyan returned to chatting with Xingzong about the origin and development of Bian opera. Xingzong was also very interested and asked a lot of questions, "So, if there were no noble ambassadors, Bian opera would not have appeared?" /

"You're serious. It should be said that without the gang leader Kong, there would be no Bian opera.

Xingzong shook his head, "There is a thousand miles of horses, but Bole doesn't often. I heard that your envoy is also the editor-in-chief of "Kaifeng House News". Although I haven't read this "Kaifeng House News", I heard that "Tokyo Daily" It is to learn from its shape, and I think that your envoy is also a talented person."

Yun Yanhui was a little helpless, but after hearing this, she knew she was going to write a poem!

Yun Yan Hui had to change the target: "I really don't dare to call myself talented in front of Li Weng, Li Weng's library is well known in the Song Dynasty."

Xingzong praised Li Xingjian again, "The sky is bright today, so it's time to write a poem to add to the fun. Why don't we take the Bian opera as the topic today."

As soon as Xingzong said that, all the Liao ministers who accompanied him at the banquet suddenly agreed.

When Yun Yan returned to this side, she secretly waited for Li Xingjian to pick up the knife and copy it herself. Li Xingjian is really literate, and writing two poems is not a problem. However, Li Xun and Zhao Yunchu were brought up by traditional education, and they could write a poem by themselves, which is enough for the Liao Kingdom.

After the Liao officials over there finished writing, Xingzong brought them to comment one by one, "Well, which Qing family belonged to this song, that's not bad. All night long with strings and sounds, Nanqu went to Beijing. A wonderful world."

The poems written by the Liao people are relatively simple, and Yun Yanhui can generally understand them without Li Xingjian's explanation.

The first two sentences are about a Bian opera from the Southern Dynasties staged in the capital of Liao, and the string music played all night long. The last two sentences are the characteristics of writing Bian opera, but many scenes can be staged on a small stage, and each sentence can contain rich emotions.

After Xingzong read it, the Liao courtiers also touted it. It seems that this poem was written by someone who is recognized as being good at Chinese poetry.

But compared with Li Xingjian's poems, it's far behind. Li Xingjian was very bad. In a short period of time, he wrote a short poem for Yun Yan to catch a knife, and also wrote a long poem, "Wang Qingyu". He used a lot of dictionaries. To the performance of the audience, it fully shows the charm of this play.

In the face of Li Xingjian's poems, all the works of the Liao people are overshadowed.

Xingzong read it again, tasted it again, and felt that he was convinced that the song he wrote himself was far inferior. This envoy of Song deserves to be a great scholar with thousands of volumes in his family. Those books are not only there, but they are all copied and memorized.

But after such an "embarrassing poem", Yun Yanhui also felt the popularity of Bian opera here from the poems of the Liao people.

These envoys did not stare every day, but the Liao people depicted scenes everywhere in their poems. In just seven days, the nobles of the Liao Kingdom were quite crazy about "Wang Qingyu".

Many people got caught up in the plot after watching "Wang Qingyu". It's not bad to raise carp. It is said that there are also women in Liao who regard themselves as He Lishu, imitate their behavior and dress up everywhere, and ask their family members to call them Li Shu, looking for their family Liang Sheng, is completely crazy.

There is also a growing voice among the people. They hope that Xingzong can show mercy to these commoners and invite the Confucius family to perform outside the palace. They have been waiting outside the palace every day for a long time.

As for those who madly express their love for the plot, there are even more.

The Liao people responded enthusiastically, and Yun Yanhui also laughed very happily.

Everyone has the same hobby, but in a few days, Song Envoy will be leaving. Xingzong walked to Yun Yanhui, took his hand and said affectionately: "I have been cultivating books many times, and the emperor brother of the Southern Dynasty generously invited the Bian opera troupe to come to Liao. A musician from Liao, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty said that he could order the envoys to discuss the matter.

Nowadays, the Bian opera troupe has performed several times in the palace, and they are deeply loved by the court and middle class. So, can the troupe Confucius stay in Daliao for a period of time to teach, so that we can continue to enjoy Bian opera in the future? "

Nowadays, it is not only loved by the officials in the court, but the queen dowager in the harem is obsessed with the maids, and the voices of the people outside the palace are also very loud. I want to know how much resentment there will be if the Confucius family is released.

Yunyan said back to her heart and said that you have a shaggy face, but you are so embarrassed to call us the giant brother of Renzong, but he has a serious look on his face: "It's really difficult if you don't want to be a foreign minister, Song and Liao. After a long time of repair, the foreign ministers dare not deceive. This Bian opera takes a long time to practice before it can produce results.

Master Kong has studied Bian Opera for many years, and his disciples began to study very early. If it is to be fruitful, it is impossible without ten years. In addition, musicians in your country are not necessarily familiar with the tunes and dialects of the Southern Dynasties, and it may take longer. Therefore, even if Master Kong can stay in Liao for ten years, can the subjects of Liao wait for ten years or more? "

Xingzong originally thought that the Bian Opera would not be out for a long time, but I didn't expect that it would take so long to produce the effect. After ten years, I would still appreciate it.

Xingzong was suddenly depressed, "So...then can you agree to our unkind request that the Bian Opera Troupe stay in Beijing for another year?"

Yun Yanhui burst into tears all of a sudden, because he was held by Xingzong, and took advantage of the situation to pull his sleeves to wipe his tears and snot.

Xingzong: "..."

The three of Zhao Yunchu secretly gloated over the misfortune...

Yunyan choked back and said: "The lord of the country doesn't know, but I told you earlier that the Confucius class is performing in the Puguanze Garden, and I don't know how many tourists go to them every day. Bear the pressure of many people.

However, the Northern and Southern Dynasties are brothers. If they can contribute a little to the two countries, they should lose no amount of performance fees. The foreign minister is just... sad for the orphans of this country.

"We have issued a new decree. From now on, the money for the relief of the world's orphans will depend on Pu Guanze's income. And Pu Guanze's biggest attraction is Bian opera. If the Confucius leader doesn't come back... woo!"

Xingzong was dazed by Yun Yan's half-truth and half-truth remarks, and he was a little embarrassed. "So, it's really embarrassing for you, so... half a year?"

A Liao official couldn't hold back, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty Rong Yan, we can't appreciate it enough for half a day. Can Song Envoy invite people from the Bian Opera Troupe to perform in Daliao in turn?"

Yunyan covered her eyes and said: "The Liao Kingdom is so kind, and it is difficult for us to refuse. If we come to Liaoning in turn, although it will still have a great impact on Puguanze's business, the journey will take a long time, but it is also a The way is to ask the troupe to go to Liaoning every year in turn. In this way, the problem of teaching can be solved."

Xingzong is an emperor after all, so why don't you understand that? After these few days, they have all fallen. If the Bian opera troupe is released, I am afraid that the DPRK and China will be in chaos, so he boldly said: "If Pu Guanze should lose, our Daliao will definitely make up for it. Although the two countries are brothers, There is absolutely no reason to embarrass your country, not to mention that the money is used by your country’s Salesian, and I can’t bear it. We can also subsidize the income of the troupe and artists.”

Seeing that Xingzong took the initiative to say that he wanted to cut the meat, Yun Yanhui smiled in his heart and said: "That is really grateful for the generosity of the lord of the country. It is modeled on the stage and layout of our country. One is to give the Bian Opera Troupe a place to perform, and at the same time to commemorate the exchanges between our two countries.”

Xingzong nodded again and again, "No problem, no problem, we will contribute."

Yunyan replied: "Since all theaters have been built, we are so embarrassed. Look, although there can't be too many people from the Bian opera troupe, but Pu Guanze has other top performers, we can also send them to perform. ."

Xingzong: "I've already heard about the grand occasion of a hundred operas in the Great Song Dynasty. It's really good!" He paused for a while, and then said, "As soon as the subsidy should be given, let's compare it to the Confucius class."

"I'm so embarrassed..." Yun Yan replied shyly, "Then let's toast together, for the sake of the friendship between the Northern and Southern Dynasties."

Let's toast and drink together to celebrate that the Bian Opera Troupe and even more Song Dynasty artists will perform in Liao State for a long time.

As for the details, it was up to Liao's officials to discuss with them in detail.

Li Xingjian claimed that Song people loved their homeland, so they couldn't stop for too long. After all, there was still time on the road, and it was almost half a year, and shifts occurred every six months. There is also a group about how many people, when these people perform in Liao, the status of treatment in various aspects, and how much compensation Liao will give, all have to be discussed in detail.

These Li Xingjian can be very good, just leave them to him.

Li Xingjian is very happy. The success of this transaction is not just a matter of how much money they make. You must know that these people are stationed in Wujingyi, and they need a little training before coming. It's just how many pairs of eyes help to keep an eye on the situation in Liao. .

In the past six months, I can still carry a lot of smuggled goods, which is another income.

Can the Liao people think of this? It is true that some people can think of it, but the most eager idea of ​​the people at the moment is to continue to listen to Bian opera. And they will feel that even if they stay, it will be fine as long as they take it seriously.

And Yun Yan thinks back more, that is, let Kong send private goods into the playbook that he made up, and this is a matter to be discussed in private.

Although Xingzong was slaughtered, he was very happy. He gave a lot of treasures to several Song envoys, and asked them to say hello to Renzong on his behalf.

Yunyan looked back at Xingzong like watching a little sheep. All the losses and subsidies were given, and a theater was built. In the future, the Confucius family would open for business, and the Liao Kingdom would be embarrassed to take it away, right?

And since it is not a performance for a period of time, but a long period of stationing, the Liao people want to learn their true skills, so why not pay tuition fees? If you're really nice, you won't learn anything.

There are still more places to harvest, and I don't know if there are people in Liao who plant flowers, but even if there are no flower baskets, isn't this a country with developed animal husbandry, you can send cattle and sheep!
