Zhang Jing fell. On the surface, it was his successor Zhang Cheng who gained the greatest benefits, but this Zhang Cheng could not survive for a few days.

Because he was too stupid, he did a huge stupid thing. He thought that he, a ceremonial eunuch, had all the power in the world and could do whatever he wanted. He even secretly entered into a marriage alliance with the noble nobleman Wu Qinghou.

No matter what kind of person Wu Qinghou is, Wuqinghou is not a traditional noble. Their family was lucky enough to receive the title because of Empress Dowager Li. To put it bluntly, they are just a nouveau riche family.

Marriage with such a family seems to have Empress Dowager Li as a backer, but it is actually useless. Because the control of foreign relatives in this dynasty is to the extreme. Apart from eunuchs and chief ministers, there will definitely not be a strong clan member in this dynasty.

Or maybe a relative has monopolized power because the system doesn’t allow it!

The adult princes who wanted the country were given a vassal to be raised as pigs, while their relatives were given a title to be raised as pigs, without any chance of real power. The scholars in the civil service group wanted to go around when they saw them, for fear that the noble clan members would

The restriction falls on oneself. Such restrictions have also led to the embarrassing situation of the princesses of the Ming Dynasty not being able to marry a good husband.

But Zhang Cheng got married all the time, and it was like the old man was eating arsenic - he was impatient with life. When the time comes, if something happens, will these civil servants not seize this excuse and beat him to death?

You must know that the political struggles in this dynasty are almost always struggles between the eunuchs and the civil servants. When it comes to attacking the eunuchs, no group will be as organized and united in their hatred as the civil servants group.

But these are not important to Zhu Changluo. Zhu Changluo doesn't care whether these people live or die. He is currently studying a large-scale concert with Chen Ju.

Ever since Chen Ju got the score of "Flower Burial Song", Chen Ju has been thinking day and night about how to perfectly present this piece of music. For this reason, he didn't know how many times he went to the Bell and Drum Division. Now the Bell and Drum Department

Si's musicians saw Chen Ju more often than they saw their own eunuchs.

Zhu Changluo looked at dozens of musicians sitting on a large stage holding instruments, and Zhu Changluo gave Chen Ju a thumbs up!

"Eunuch Chen is so awesome! He managed to pull out such a large team in just over a month."

Chen Ju smiled modestly and said: "This is all His Highness's advice, otherwise I would still be worried now."

Zhu Changluo said: "What contribution can I make? I don't know anything about music theory. Aren't you doing all the credit here? I just gave a few opinions."

Chen Ju said: "His Highness's suggestion is the greatest credit. At first, the old slave asked them to play the music, but it was really difficult for these people to conduct it. They would not be able to remember the order of their own performance without being taught step by step. However,

With His Highness's advice, they now know when to start playing and when to stop just by looking at Lao Nu's baton, and the effect of the performance has suddenly gone up to several levels."

Zhu Changluo laughed. This is his advantage. People in this era are not unintelligent, but their knowledge has restricted their ideas. For the first time, Zhu Changluo was dragged by Chen Ju to the Bell and Drum Division to listen to their performance.

At that time, Zhu Changluo saw the problem. Although they played neatly and well, they just lacked the sense of hierarchy and priority of the music. The erhu performance could not be displayed in a band with dozens of people.

It can only be suppressed by the volume of other instruments.

At this time, Zhu Changluo thought of the performance method of modern large-scale concerts, and he told Chen Ju, "You can arrange a conductor to stand in the center of the orchestra, and let all the musicians look at the conductor's baton to play their instruments.

.”

This suggestion suddenly woke up Chen Ju who was in trouble. Chen Ju immediately organized people to try to join the conductor to direct the orchestra to perform. Although it was a bit messy at the beginning, after a few times of running in, it turned out to be in order.

Therefore, we really cannot underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

After Chen Ju succeeded in conducting for the first time, he said excitedly: "I finally know why the Dance of the Tang Dynasty is so intoxicating. They must have a conductor to direct the musicians to perform, otherwise "The Music of King Qin Breaking the Formation" and

How could such a grand piece of music as "The Song of Colorful Feathers" remain famous throughout the ages in the vast history books?"

Chen Ju feels that he can use this method to reproduce the vast music in history!

Zhu Changluo smiled and said: "Practice harder. In a few days it will be the Double Ninth Festival. Whether you can be a blockbuster or not depends on you, Eunuch Chen."

Chen Ju smiled and said: "With His Highness's guidance, it will definitely be possible."

Zhu Changluo is also preparing his own Double Ninth Festival gift for Empress Dowager Li. Now "Dream of Red Mansions" has been updated to the forty-fifth chapter. Poor sister Lin is now seriously ill and bedridden. Empress Dowager Li is so heartbroken that she wipes her head every time she thinks about it.

tears.

Zhu Changluo knew that the plot behind this story would be even more miserable and sad, so he had to find a way to find some fun for Queen Mother Li. Otherwise, it would not be good for Queen Mother Li to remain in such a miserable mood.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo planned to present a unique performance to Empress Dowager Li this time. Zhu Changluo planned to sort out "Striking the Golden Bough" and let Chen Ju find someone to rehearse a play.

Speaking of which, Chen Ju, who is proficient in music theory, is actually quite proficient in music theory. After he got the script of "Striking the Golden Bough" written by Zhu Changluo, he compiled the play "Strike the Golden Bough" based on his own understanding.

Wow, I have to say this is really awesome!

"Striking the Golden Bough" is a comedy opera. When Zhu Changluo was a child, he listened to it several times while watching the black and white TV series with the elderly at home. Later, he also listened to it several times in the Caotai Opera troupe in the countryside. Apart from Xiao Cangwa and Qi

It is one of the few operas that I can listen to except Pinzhiguan. It is because this opera does not involve high-spirited crying like a funeral. Therefore, Zhu Changluo still remembers it fresh.

On Emperor Wanli's side, because ice cream was out of season, Zhu Changluo finally thought of a way to make baking soda. He finally obtained the crucial carbon dioxide by reacting vinegar with limestone.

Then Zhu Changluo used carbon dioxide and alkali solution to make baking soda. Now the soda was successfully developed. Now Zhu Changluo asked Concubine Gong to continue using soda to attack Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli, a sweet tooth lover, had no resistance to soda, a sweet drink that stimulates the taste buds. After taking a sip, he was full of excited praises, and his attitude towards Concubine Gong gradually became better and better.

This really echoes the saying that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach.

Now Concubine Gong must have caught Emperor Wanli's stomach. Emperor Wanli can't live without the soda and delicious food brought to him by Concubine Gong every day. This has also caused Emperor Wanli to be fatter than in the summer. Now he is already
