The boat rowed across the lake, and the sunset glowed like fire in the distance.
The father and son of the Yu family stood on the deck, filled with emotions. Yu Yaochen was still filled with emotion when he thought of his father's actions and couldn't help himself.
"Dad, aren't you afraid that if you offend Zhang Shicheng, you will completely fall out with him and there will be no room for recovery?"
Father Yu chuckled twice, "What? You are the only one in our family, and you still expect your father to bet on both ends and step on two boats? You will fall into the lake!"
Yu Yaochen was startled. Indeed, there was only one son in their generation. He had followed Shi Boren across Taihu Lake and joined the Zhu Jiajun. After being on the road for too long, he made up his mind that he must serve the Zhu Jiajun.
But after arriving in Changxing, he thought again, what if his father was implicated because of him?
He was also worried that the matter would be leaked and that his father would not be able to figure it out, so he did not dare to tell the truth and went back by boat directly, becoming a "deserter".
But what surprised Yu Yaochen was that as soon as he told his father, he agreed immediately.
If you say Zhu Jiajun is good, then go to Zhu Jiajun!
You must know that when my father took Yu Yaochen to leave his hometown and live in Suzhou, he felt that the culture here was prosperous and the literati gathered here. His son would be able to make friends with famous people and develop.
Although the situation was not what he thought, his son chose Zhu Jiajun and agreed with Zhu Jiajun's proposition. As a father, there was no reason not to support it.
Moreover, they live in a residential area and have nothing but some personal belongings. They can just walk away, which is very convenient.
But since we have to leave, we can't leave quietly.
Send a letter to Zhang Shicheng, humiliate him, and wake this guy up from his complacency!
Of course, such a statement also shows that their father and son have chosen to follow Zhu Jiajun wholeheartedly and will never change!
"Dad, let's go there. I'm afraid we won't have a good position, so we have to start from the bottom..."
Father Yu laughed and said, "Your father is not a person who cannot bear hardships. Don't forget, your father is also proficient in medical skills. When the time comes, I can carry a medicine box and walk around the streets to treat people, and I can live a good life."
But you, don’t think that you can write poetry and have some literary talents, so you are complacent. Zhu Jiajun is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and not just anyone can use it."
Yu Yaochen nodded vigorously, "This kid knows it well. Originally, I only thought that Zhang Xiang's articles were well written and his principles were clear... But I didn't expect that Zhang Xiang was even more open-minded. He treated scholars without restrictions. He was really open-minded and unparalleled.
.For such a person, even if he is serving tea and pouring water, I would still enjoy it!"
The father and son chatted happily and were full of hope for the future... But they didn't know how much trouble they had caused.
Zhang Shicheng was completely off guard after being scolded.
Capricious and ugly!
What he couldn't hear the most were these words. Didn't I just surrender to Yuan Ting? As for being caught and not letting him go?
So Zhu Yuanzhang is a good thing?
How did his father-in-law Guo Zixing die?
I don’t believe it. He has always been aboveboard?
Also, didn’t you say that when the world returns home, at least the scholars will support us?
Why did the Yu family and his son appear?
Could it be that someone is deceiving us?
Zhang Shicheng's eyes immediately fell on Gao Qi, "Mr. Gao, I heard that this Yu Yaochen is your friend?"
Gao Qi's heart moved, what should come will always come.
He also did not expect that a letter from the Yu family and his son, and a few curse words, would push him into danger. But Gao Qi did not complain too much. Since he had made a choice, he should move forward without hesitation.
Seek benevolence and you will get benevolence, what is there to be resentful about!
"Yes! Yu Yaochen and I sing poems together, we are indeed good friends!"
Gao Qi promised to be frank, which instantly attracted everyone's attention... The celebrities in Suzhou and the gentry of Wu were all staring at this great talent.
Your friend has taken refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang, are you also in contact with Zhu Yuanzhang? If this is the case, you deserve to die!
A pair of rather unkind eyes pierced Gao Qi.
Gao Qi's back was straight, unafraid, he was thinking, since he couldn't escape, he had to say it openly, who is right and who is right, everyone in the world will decide for themselves!
Gao Qi was preparing, Zhang Shicheng was also furious, feeling that all his money was wasted, and he fed the dog... The thunder and fire were about to break out, but at this time, in the first few seats in the front row of the scholar, there was a young man
The old Confucian scholar, who was over half a hundred years old, suddenly laughed and broke the silence!
Everyone looked together again, and it turned out that the person who was laughing was also named Gao Ming!
As soon as you hear this name, you should know that this is not a simple person.
His courtesy name is Zecheng, and his nickname is Caigen Taoist!
Listen, if this word and number were given to Yu Yaochen, the world would be turned upside down.
But even if it is just Gao Zecheng, this one is very unusual. He is a drama writer. Not only does he write, he is also very famous. Especially in the Jiangnan area, he is completely at the level of the leader of the music circle.
More than ten years ago, he passed the Jinshi examination, but his official career was not smooth, so he returned to his hometown to compose dramas. Originally, Fang Guozhen wanted to ask him to come out, but Gao Ming refused to do so.
Later, he heard that Zhu Jiajun had many opera masters and created many popular works, so Gao Ming left his hometown and came to find Zhang Shicheng.
That’s right!
He is not willing to serve for Zhu Jiajun, but wants to play against Zhu Jiajun.
After arriving in Suzhou, Gao Ming found that things seemed to be more complicated. Zhu Jiajun not only had opera, but also made a lot of messy rhetoric, especially asking women to study. It was simply corrupting the rules and going against the grain!
If this doesn't destroy them, is there any justice left?
Gao Ming had been waiting for the opportunity, and now he couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhang Shicheng angry.
Zhang Shicheng said with a sullen face: "What advice does Mr. Gao have?"
Gao Ming bowed deeply, then scratched his beard and smiled calmly, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. According to my guess, Zhu Yuanzhang is always good at deceiving people. It is not surprising that some people were deceived without noticing for a moment. As long as the overall situation remains,
If people's hearts are still there, your Majesty will definitely be able to destroy the Zhu family army and show off your ambition!"
When the old man stood up and spoke, Gao Qi was finally saved. He hurriedly swallowed back his words and observed silently to see what this old gentleman had to say...
"Mr. Gao, this Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed hateful. He has bullied me, Lao Zhang, several times, but I can't do anything about it. I'm really pissed off!" Zhang Shicheng sighed.
Gao Ming chuckled and said, "Don't worry, my king. I'll tell you the truth. I've been living in the countryside for the past few years, but I actually wrote a piece called "Pipa Ji". I heard that the Zhu family army used opera to win people's hearts. What about seizing a city alone?
White-haired girl... According to me, these things can only be used to trick the lower-class people and watch the fun."
The old man was full of confidence and had sufficient assurance in his demeanor.
Everyone was also startled, darling, is this old man going to take action?
That was the fart of the old god, it was extraordinary!
Starting from opera, fighting a propaganda war with Zhu Jiajun, breaking Zhu Yuanzhang's aggressive posture... wonderful, simply wonderful!
Almost instantly, everyone got excited and started asking questions, and all kinds of flattery was flying everywhere.
As long as Taoist Cai Gen is willing to take action, little Zhu Jiajun will be no problem at all. By the way, what is the name of the best actor over there?
Wu Datou!
Pooh!
It sounds like he is not a serious scholar at first glance. How could he be the opponent of the old god?
This banquet quickly turned into a compliment to Gao Ming, and even Zhang Shicheng cheered up. It seemed that Yu Yaochen and his son were just outliers, so there was no need to worry too much.
Everyone present, except Gao Qi, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had narrowly escaped death.
But when it came to Pipa Ji, Gao Qi had some thoughts.
Note, Pipa Ji is not Pipa Xing, just as Chen Qingbiao is not Chen Qingling...
Compared to the lingering romance of Pipa Xing, Pipa Ji is much more intense.
This play first came from the Song Dynasty. It tells the story of a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, won the first prize, and then was favored by the prime minister's house and became the prime minister's son-in-law.
The scholar abandoned his parents and did not care about his wife's life or death. The family suffered a disaster and his parents died. Fa's wife buried her parents, carried a pipa, played music and begged for food, and went to Beijing to find her husband.
The scholar, who was the son-in-law of the Prime Minister, was unwilling to recognize her, and even charged her with his horse, intending to trample his wife to death.
His actions angered God, who sent down thunder and chopped the unfaithful man into pieces, leaving not even a scrap left.
Frankly speaking, it seems that no matter how you modify a play like this, it may not be able to be improved. Although Gao Qi is not an expert in opera, he is still a top talent. He doesn't know where Old Man Gao got the confidence to compete with Zhu Jiajun.
Although you saved me, I still wish you shame!
…
"Lord, are you still studying now?"
"Read! Read every day!"
Zhang Ximeng said again: "Then my lord, do you think there has been any progress?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, inexplicably a little embarrassed... He actually had the illusion that he had gone back to a few years ago. At that time, Zhang Ximeng made a pile of book lists all day long, forcing him to memorize books and practice calligraphy from morning to night, without doing anything.
A moment of leisure.
To put it bluntly, if Zhang Ximeng hadn't interfered, Zhu Biao would have been born earlier.
After finally getting through that period, Zhang Ximeng asked himself again, is it strange that Lao Zhu is in a good mood?
"Is there anything you would like to give me, sir?"
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said, "Lord, I just got a play here. Take a closer look and write an analysis of the author's thoughts. Then we will discuss it and see if the lord is as wise as a god."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. Isn't this just leaving homework and writing his thoughts?
We all left it to the generals, so why is it our turn again?
Of course Lao Zhu was very reluctant, but everyone knew that he had become a teacher at the beginning. How could he refuse to teach you knowledge?
Respecting teachers and respecting education is a rule set by Master Confucius with a vinegar bowl and a big fist. If you don't obey, I will beat you to death!
Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to take over the opera script and start watching it...
Zhang Shicheng also wanted to bribe people, but I tried my best to steal Zhang Ximeng's manuscripts.
But when we arrived at Zhang Ximeng's place, the situation was much simpler. Someone sent it directly.
Zhu Yuanzhang unfolded it and watched silently. Gradually he frowned. How should I put it, this opera made him feel awkward, pretentious, and unreasonable...
"Sir, who wrote this? After reading the whole article, why do we think this scholar is so despicable and incompetent?"
Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but nod, "Sure enough, I hit the nail on the head. This is everyone's brilliant masterpiece, and it will play against us!"
Zhu Yuanzhang simply shook his head, "On this level? We think he wants to humiliate himself!"
