The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty - Chapter 256

A Bian opera outside the Cultural Palace actually ignited the passion of all Liao nobles. That night, I begged the generals to perform all of them. Afterwards, it was a collective application. I had to take advantage of Song Shi’s still in Liao to perform more. Several times.

The officials of the Liao Kingdom were particularly embarrassed to consult with Li Xingjian and the others. This was all here, and they naturally agreed. As a result, the Confucian family played in the palace of the Liao Kingdom for a few days, and the venues were still full.

Moreover, this news spread outside the palace, and many ordinary people of Liao State were obsessed with guarding outside the palace. Even if they couldn’t hear the sound, they wanted to see the famous actors of the Bian Opera.

Shangjing is also an open city, and it is considered the most prosperous area in Liao, with a lot of people.

There are so many people outside the palace. Sometimes when the Confucian class comes in and out, they will sing a few words to everyone in accordance with Yun Yanhui’s instructions.

No matter how much, I refuse to sing. After all, there is an “artistic pursuit”. It was the emperor of Liao that they were unwilling to perform.

Just these few sentences are enough to make the people linger, and more people come to besieged, and those who don’t know think that the Liao Kingdom riots.

Such hot scenes are unprecedented. After all, although the Liao Kingdom has a variety of vaudeville operas, one is not as lively and professionally as the Song Dynasty, and the other is a new art form.

Its charm has been proved in the Song Dynasty.

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

In the past few days, Xingzong has watched the Bian Opera performances again and again, and is very obsessed with it, so he has to discuss with Song Shi.

Yun Yan talked to Xingzong about the origin and development of Bian Opera. Xingzong was also particularly interested and asked a lot of questions, “So, if there is no ambassador, Bian Opera will not appear?”

“You are serious. It should be said that without the master of Confucius, there would be no Bianxi, and the foreign minister is only playing a role of support.” Yun Yan said with a smile.

Xingzong shook his head, “The Chollima is often present, but Bole is not often present. I heard that your envoy is still the editor-in-chief of the “Kaifeng Mansion News”. Although I have not read the “Kaifeng Mansion News”, I heard that the “Tokyo Daily” is a reference. In its shape, it is also a talented person if you want to come to the ambassador.”

Yun Yanhui was a little helpless. Hearing this, he knew that he was going to write a poem!

Yun Yan had no choice but to change his goal: “I really don’t dare to claim to be talented in front of Li Weng. Li Weng’s bookstore is known to all.”

Xingzong also praised Li Xingjian, “Today the sky is good, and it is time to write poems to add to the excitement, so let’s use the Bian Opera as the topic today.”

As soon as Xingzong said, all the Liao officials who accompanied him at the banquet should have been.

Yun Yan went back here, and waited secretly for Li Xingjian to make a ghostwriting, and then copied it again by himself. Li Xingjian is really literate, and writing two poems is not a problem. However, Li Xun and Zhao Yunchu grew up with traditional education, so they can write a poem by themselves, which is good enough in Liao.

After the Liao ministers over there finished writing one by one, Xingzong commented one by one, “Well, which Qing family belongs to this song, not bad. The string rang all night, and the southern song went to Beijing. Fang Cun traveled across the world, with every sound. Environment.”

Liao people write poems relatively plainly, and Yun Yanhui can roughly understand it without Li Xingjian’s explanation.

The first two sentences are that the Bian Opera from the Southern Dynasty was staged in the capital of Liao, and the string music was playing all night. The last two sentences are the characteristics of writing Bian operas, but many scenes can be staged on a small stage, and each sentence of singing can contain rich emotions.

After Xingzong finished reading, the Liao officials also praised it. It seems that this poem was written by someone who was recognized as being good at Chinese poetry among them.

But compared with Li Xingjian’s poems, it is far behind. Li Xingjian was 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”, with many allusions, starting from the play, The performance of the audience shows the charm of this play in all directions.

In the face of Li Xingjian’s poems, all Liao people’s works were eclipsed.

Xingzong read it again, tasted it again, and felt convinced that he had lost, and the one he wrote himself was far inferior. This Song ambassador is indeed a great Confucian who has thousands of books in his family. Those books are not just there, they are all copied and remembered.

However, after such an “awkward poem”, Yun Yanhui also felt the popularity of Bian Opera here from the poetry of Liao people.

These envoys did not stare at each other 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 sleepless nights and food for “Wang Qingyu”.

After watching “Wang Qingyu”, many people fell into the plot. It is not bad to raise carp. It is said that there are also Liao women who regard themselves as He Lishu. To find Liang Sheng from their family is totally crazy.

There is also a rising voice among the people. They hope that Xingzong can show mercy to these civilians, and ask Kong Jiaban to perform outside the palace. They have been waiting outside the palace for a long time.

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

The people of Liao Kingdom responded enthusiastically, and Yun Yanhui also smiled happily.

Everyone has the same hobby, but only a few days later, Ambassador Song will leave. Xingzong walked to Yun Yanhui and took his hand and said affectionately: “I have repaired books many times, and the Southern Emperor’s brother generously invited the Bian Opera troupe to Liao. I mentioned it before and I hope to condemn people to teach Bian Opera to us. The music of Liao, the emperor brother of the Southern Dynasty said that he could make the envoys discuss this matter.

Nowadays, the Bian opera troupe performs several times in the palace, and is deeply in love with the central government. So, can the Confucian troupe stay in Daliao for a period of time to teach, so that we can continue to enjoy the Bian opera in the future? “

Now, not only the court officials like it, but the queen dowager in the harem is obsessed with the maids, and the voice of the people outside the palace is also very loud. I want to know how much resentment there will be if the Confucian class is let go.

Yun Yan returned to his heart and said that you have a shaggy face and you are embarrassed to call us Giant Brother Renzong, but Chen Ken said: “If you are not a foreign minister, it is too difficult. The Song and Liao countries have been repairing for a long time. The foreign minister did not dare to deceive, and it took a long time to practice the body and mouth of this Bian opera to produce results.

The master of Confucius has studied Bian Opera for many years, and his disciples started learning very early. If there is to be a result, it will be impossible within ten years. In addition, your national musicians may not be familiar with the dialect of Southern Dynasties, and it may take longer. Therefore, even if the Master Kongban can stay in the Liao State for ten years, can the subjects of the Liao State wait for ten years or more? “

Xingzong originally thought that the Bian Opera didn’t take long to come out, but he didn’t expect that the effect would take so long. After waiting ten years, he would still appreciate it.

Xingzong was immediately depressed, “So… can we agree to our unrelenting invitation, please stay in Beijing for a while?”

Yun Yan cried all of a sudden, because Xingzong was holding his hand and pulling his sleeve to wipe his tears and nose.

Xingzong: “…”

All three of Zhao Yunchu secretly gloated and watched…

Yun Yan replied with a choked voice: “The Lord doesn’t know. I told you earlier that the Confucian Class was performing in Puguanze Youyuan. I don’t know how many tourists go to them every day. This time I went to Liao and I also had a lot to bear. The pressure of the people.

However, the Northern and Southern Dynasties are brothers. If they can contribute a little to the two countries, they will lose as much performance fee as they should. The foreign minister was just… sad for the orphans of the contemptible country.

“We have issued a new law. From now on, the money and food of the orphans all over the world will depend on Pu Guanze’s income. And Pu Guanze’s biggest attraction is the Bian Opera. If it is the master of Kong who will not return…Woo!”

Xingzong was so dizzy when Yun Yan returned half-truths, and suddenly became a little embarrassed, “So, I really embarrass you, then…half a year?”

A Liao official couldn’t hold back, and said excitedly: “Your Majesty, Rong Tian, ​​half a year, we simply don’t appreciate it enough. Can Song Shi invite the Bian opera troupe to perform in Daliao in turn?”

Yun Yan covered his eyes and said: “Liao is so kind, and it is really hard for us to refuse. If we come to Liao in rotation, although it will still have a great impact on Puguanze’s business, the journey will take a long time, but it is also a way. It is possible to call the theater troupe to go to Liaoning every year. In this way, the problem of teaching can also be solved.”

After all, Xingzong is an emperor, is there anything he can understand? After these few days, they have all fallen. If the Bian troupe leaves here, I am afraid that North Korea and China will be in chaos, so they boldly said: “When Puguanze should lose, our Daliao will definitely compensate. 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 benevolent children, which is unbearable. We can also subsidize the income of theatrical troupes.”

Seeing Xingzong take the initiative to say that he wanted to cut the meat, Yun Yan smiled in his heart and said: “That is really thanks to the generosity of the country’s lord. The foreign minister felt that it is better to build a grand theater in the five capitals of your country, which can be modeled on our country. Stage and layout. One is to give the Bian opera troupe a place to perform, and also to commemorate the exchanges between our two countries.”

Xingzong nodded again and again, “No problem, no problem, we will fund it.”

Yun Yan replied: “Since we have built theaters, we are so embarrassed. You see, although there are not too many people coming from the Bian troupe, there are other top artists in Pu Guanze, and we can also send them to perform.”

Xingzong: “I’ve heard about the grand operas of the Great Song Dynasty a long time ago. It couldn’t be better!” He paused, and then said, “We should subsidize, cf. the Confucian class.”

“That’s really embarrassing…” Yun Yan replied shyly, “Then let’s toast together, for the long-lasting friendship between the Northern and Southern Dynasties.”

Everyone toasted and drank together to celebrate the long-term performance of the Bian opera troupe and even more Song State hundred opera artists.

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

Li Xingjian claimed that the Song people love their homeland, so they can’t stop for too long. After all, there is still time on the road, and half a year is almost the same, with shifts every half a year. There is also a group of about how many people, their status in various aspects when they perform in Liao, and how much compensation Liao will give, all have to be discussed in detail.

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

Li Xingjian was very happy. The success of the transaction this time was not only about how much money he made. You must know that these people were stationed in Wujingyi. Before they came, they would have a little training. How many pairs of eyes helped to stare at the situation in Liao.

In the past six months, a lot of smuggled goods can still be carried, which is another profit.

Can 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 the Bian Opera. And they will feel that even if they stay, they just need to be careful not to look at it.

And Yun Yan recalled more, that is, let Kong Ji entrain private goods in the playbook, which is another matter that needs to be discussed in private.

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

Yun Yan looked back at Xingzong like a little fat sheep. The losses and subsidies were given, and a theater was built. In the future, the Kong family class will open for business, and the profits will be taken away by Liao State, right?

Also, since it is not a performance for a period of time, but a long-term stay, the Liao people must learn the true skills, are they embarrassed not to pay tuition? If you’re so embarrassed, you won’t be able to learn anything.

There are more places to be harvested. I don’t know that there are no people in Liaoning to grow flowers, but even if there is no flower basket, isn’t this a country with developed animal husbandry? You can send cattle and sheep!
