In addition to singing and dancing, drama and storytelling have also become the highlights of the banquet.

Among them, there are three types of dramas. One is the traditional Central Plains, which has already had the prototype of Peking Opera in later generations, and pays more attention to singing and stereotypes. It is popular in Lin'an, Song Dynasty, Liangzhe and other places with more developed commercial business. Later it was introduced to the Jin Dynasty and became one of the entertainment projects that the top powerful people prefer.

The second type is a drama born in the Ming Dynasty and has been relatively systematic. The performance form focuses on scene restoration, but does not require singing and stereotypes, and is relatively close to the lives of ordinary people. Since it was created at the beginning, it was entirely intended to criticize the dark side of the rule of the Khanate, Jurchen and Khitans, which aroused the people's contrasting favorability for the current rule of Ulutus.

Therefore, dramas almost follow the current hot topics of Ming Dynasty. The more famous drama team is directly under the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Rites, which is also part of the propaganda of Ming Dynasty's soft culture.

Compared with the requirements of zaju for performers' singing skills and expression, the drama is obviously simpler. Therefore, the title of the drama is updated faster. When the Ming Dynasty implemented the policy of "abolition of slaves", it rehearsed more than a dozen tragic situations of slaves in the previous dynasty and their beautiful new life in the Ming Dynasty after being abolished.

There are also hot incidents that caused the suicide of the Privy Council Secretary Bagabandi to be killed by himself, which was also arranged in plays and performed on tour in key areas of the Ming Dynasty. Although it revealed the dark side of the officialdom to a certain extent, it used a larger piece to express the glorious image of Ulutus presided over justice and unruly, which greatly increased the favorable impression of ordinary people towards Ulutus and their recognition of the Ming Dynasty's reign.

This incident is also one of the iconic plays that shocked the officialdom! Because Bagabandi's name will become more and more popular as the plays spreads, ordinary people will also be very important to know about the scandal of this dog official.

Not to mention the stubbornness for thousands of years, it can still be done for several years.

The recent outbreak of immigration corruption cases has also become the source of material for new plays. The Propaganda Department is working overtime to urge the affiliated drama team to speed up rehearsals so that they can perform on the spot during the Western Tour of Ulutus.

Although doing this will cause dissatisfaction and grudges from the Shandong officialdom, the Propaganda Department is one of the key departments of the court. It belongs to the Ministry of Rites in name, but in many cases, Ulutus points fingers at him through the cabinet. Most of the drama actors in it are screened by secret guards and open guards, and their loyalty to Ulutus is guaranteed.

Therefore, the reaction of local officials is not within their consideration.

However, in such a relatively harmonious occasion, Ulutus is not willing to destroy the atmosphere. In addition, the drama still needs to undergo a certain amount of rehearsal and modification to achieve the best effect, so it was not put in for performance.

But Ulutus has decided that when appropriate, Shandong officials must see the drama arranged according to their true performance.

The third type is shadow puppetry, which can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, and was also called lantern movies at that time. In the Ming Dynasty, because of its cheap ticket prices and many types of plays, it is popular with a wider range. In many rural areas, there are such shadow puppetry troupes performing mobile performances.

For example, "Tengzhou", "The Battle of Dingji" reflects the eve of the unification of the Eastern Mongolian grassland, "From Slave to Master" that shows the good life of the people, as well as the large-scale series "Journey to the West" with mythological colors, and the mythological drama "Son of God" that expresses the shamanism, but there are too many private goods in this drama, which almost completely deify the protagonist His Highness Ming Wang into a saint.

Ulutus's precociousness just fits this point. It made many people accept Ulutus's too young age from the bottom of their hearts.

As the plays were performed, the performance of dance music, coupled with exquisite dishes and delicious wine, many guests enjoyed a lot of appetites. However, because Ulutus had so many senior officials sitting here, most people still paid more attention to demeanor.

During this period, Ulutus was not idle either. Instead, according to the list of guests provided by the governor's yamen, he selected guests to come forward to ask questions. Most of them were middle- and low-level officials, soldiers and gentry, famous merchants, and outstanding craftsmen in Shandong Province.

Ulutus, who reported a little official position, had opportunities to find them. Only those with ordinary identities did not have so many opportunities to see them, so they had to create opportunities for them.

As a prefect of a prefecture, Ge Jing was considered a middle and lower class in the Ming Dynasty, but not a low level within the Shandong Province. However, he was very lucky because he had indicated in the notes on the guest list that he was once a trusted aide by Li Quan, and under the persuasion of Wang Xuanling, the city gate was opened for the Ming army.

So when Ulutus became interested in seeing him, he asked someone to bring him to him.

He originally wanted to give a big gift, but Ulutus gave him a seat directly. Then he poured wine and handed him a glass.

This opportunity to drink with the king of a country is simply a gift from God. Ge Jing was moved by Ulutus's friendly attitude, and his voice was choked.

"I have seen the performance of Ge Zhizhou during his tenure. Penglai City looks like today and your hard work. This glass of wine is toast you when you are in Dengzhou. Although you are not my starting minister, I have always valued talents and did not ask about my background. I hope that there will be a chance to meet in Shangjing."

After drinking in one sip, Ulutus showed Ge Jing the empty cup bottom. Ge Jing did not hesitate and immediately raised his head to drink. Then Ulutus gave him ten pieces of silk to express his gratitude.

The guests below looked at each of them and their eyes turned red. Although Ge Jing and Ulutus didn't stay for a long time, not everyone has the opportunity to drink alone with Ulutus.

Soon, the second, third, and fourth... The guests went up one after another. Ulutus gave everyone wine and encouraged them a few words, which was considered to be the recognition of the superiors for the subordinates. Zhao Yanhe was also fortunate to be taken to Ulutus to drink.

Although the wine is the same, the wine I drink with Ulutus is sweeter and mellower. The momentum seems to be a little too high when I drink it, so his whole heart is pounding and he wants to step on cotton while walking.

Some retired soldiers were the focus of being given wine. Among the guests in the audience, they were also the ones who were summoned by Ulutus. For these people, Ulutus was the sword of reward, which affirmed their achievements and honor as soldiers.
