Mainly because Lin Tailai felt that Zhou Yingqiu's performance style was too flamboyant and unsuitable for the current occasion.
Nowadays, it is even more necessary to perform in a restrained style so as not to appear too obtrusive and alert those targets.
So Lin Tailai decided to put on a show and set the tone first.
He sat in the prison car, sighed deeply, and said melancholy to his friends surrounding the prison car:
"I see that most of you are from the south of the Yangtze River. It is late spring now. I guess the red beans in my hometown have begun to bear fruit, right?"
Everyone looked at each other. They thought Lin Tailai would sing wildly, but in the end he just felt homesick?
Red beans are also called acacia seeds, which are produced in the south. They are a common image of longing in poetry.
"So I occasionally gained something on the road and wrote some "Red Bean Songs"."
As Lin Tai spoke, he took out a few sheets of manuscript paper from under the mattress of the prison van and distributed them to his friends.
People passed it around and saw that it read: "The red bean tree in the south of the Yangtze River has a yearning for each leaf. The red beans can still be used up, but the love will last forever."
To be honest, this little poem is fresh and simple, with a small number of words but it is intriguing. It seems that thousands of words are contained in these twenty words. It is considered a masterpiece.
But doesn’t this subtle and fresh style of painting not match your image of Lin Tailai?
Just after reading it, another poem manuscript came out from the prison car, which still contained twenty-digit poems:
"Red beans mark lovesickness, and it lingers for twelve hours. The moss is green in the round place, and few people know what is on my mind."
As all my friends know, most people compose poems one by one, but Lin Tailai often composes poems in groups.
Two songs have already appeared. Is the third and fourth song far away?
Sure enough, Lin Tailai took out a few more poems from under the mattress in the prison car, and they were still twenty-character poems of the same genre.
"Acacia throws red beans, spring flowers fill the painting building. After the storm and dusk, new sorrows and old sorrows."
My friends feel that it is strange. The poems are all excellent works, but it seems very strange that such a graceful work was created by Lin Tailai, a majestic man who is eight or nine feet tall.
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly had the idea that Lin Tailai was really in trouble this time, right?
The internal cause of drastic changes in poetry style is often due to the violent shocks in life, which lead to changes in the poet's state of mind.
If Lin Tailai had not suffered a huge setback, how could he have such homesickness?
Lin Tailai in the prison car didn't care what others thought, and shouted: "Hurry up! Don't be in a daze, start responding to poems, hurry up!"
Things come and go, but forms must go. Welcoming and sending guests, socializing and singing are the basic skills of Ming literati.
If you casually look through the collected works of a Ming Dynasty literati, you will find that a large proportion of the works are of this type of entertainment work.
At this moment, twenty or thirty horsemen suddenly galloped towards the capital, and the sound of horse hooves broke everyone's thoughts.
When they rushed outside the south gate of Juyong Pass, the leading knight reined in his horse and stopped suddenly, shouting:
"Lin Tailai! I, Liu Xi, the Jinyi Guard Qianhu, have been ordered to escort you to Beizhen Fusi for hearing!"
When the friends present who came to visit Lin Tailai after receiving the notice heard this, they were immediately in an uproar. It turned out that the Jinyi Guards were riding to fetch the person!
Lin Tailai, who was sitting in the prison car, was also shocked. This was an unexpected situation that he had no plan for!
In Lin Tailai's mind, the nature of this incident was entirely an "infighting" among court officials and had no direct connection with the emperor. How could the emperor end up personally involved?
Lin Tailai did have the intention of catching big fish, but he never thought of catching whales.
At this time, Wang Xiangmeng, the nine-year Dzogchen censor who was previously responsible for escorting Lin Tailai, took a few steps forward, blocked the imperial cavalry and shouted:
"Lin Tailai's matter will be heard by the judicial department, so what does it have to do with Beizhen Fusi?"
Liu Xi, the leading Jinyiwei Qianhu, held up a thick silk edict and replied: "I have been ordered to take over, please cooperate with the handover! If you have any questions, please report it yourself!"
In the face of the imperial edict, even though he was the censor of the Nine Levels of Dzogchen, Wang Xiangmeng had no choice. He could not openly resist the edict.
When Liu Qianhu dismounted from his horse and handed over to Wang Xiangmeng, he saw Wang Xiangmeng's worried expression and couldn't help but say proudly:
"Lin Zhuangyuan took great care of our Jin Yiwei brothers in the past, and our brothers will take good care of Lin Zhuangyuan today!"
From the 14th year of Wanli to this year, at least hundreds of Jinyiwei officials were beaten by Lin Tailai.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, today Lin Tailai has fallen into the hands of Jin Yiwei!
Let him, Liu Qianhu, represent Jin Yiwei today and punish the villain Lin Tailai!
Xiao Wang Yushi shook his head and said helplessly: "Do you think I am worried about Lin Jiuyuan? What I am worried about is actually you!"
Liu Xi didn't understand what Wang Yushi said, and he didn't want to understand. He had an imperial edict in his hand, and he was so scared!
He didn't believe it. Lin Tailai, who was locked in a cage, could still do something to him?
Liu Qianhu then walked outside the prison van, but he was afraid that Lin Tai would come and beat someone across the cage, so he stood a few steps away.
Then Liu Qianhu said with a sinister smile: "Lin Zhuangyuan, let's go on the road! We are still a hundred miles away from the capital. The road is uneven and bumps will inevitably happen. I hope Lin Zhuangyuan will forgive me."
Lin Tailai, who was sitting in the cage, came back to his senses from the long exam, glanced at Liu Qianhu contemptuously, and simply responded: "You are already dead."
Liu Qianhu didn't know the power of these words, so he said in a quarrel: "Don't worry, Lin Zhuangyuan, you will definitely live and reach Beizhen Fusi alive!"
Lin Tailai took out a bamboo whistle from his pocket and blew it hard.
After the piercing whistle, suddenly forty or fifty more knights rushed out from the mountains and forests on both sides, shouting "Sit down".
Everyone in the streets of the capital knew that those who shouted "sit down" to Lin Tailai must be the "servants" of the Lin family who had fought all over the world.
Liu Qianhu remained calm, clenched the edict in his hand, and shouted: "Lin Tailai! How dare you instruct your servants to rob prisoners?"
When Jin Yiwei goes to arrest someone, what scene has he not seen before? What's the use of having many people in front of an imperial edict?
He didn't believe it. These people dared to besiege the Jinyiwei Official School where they were doing their job!
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty Jinyiwei officers were beaten to pieces by the Lin family's servants!
The combat effectiveness of the pampered hereditary official school is far inferior to that of the other party, and the number of people is only half that of the other party. How can I have the advantage?
More than a dozen officers from the school fell to the ground on the spot, and the remaining five or six people retreated to Liu Qianhu's side.
At this time, Lin Tailai stood up in the cage, then raised the top of the cage with both hands and kicked the cage pillars with the soles of his feet.
With Lin Tailai's movements, the cage in the car seemed to be unable to accommodate Lin Tailai's body and suddenly burst!
In an instant, the top of the cage was lifted aside! The surrounding cage wood fell in pieces, and even one cage wood flew to Liu Qianhu's feet!
The visual effects were so overwhelming that Liu Qianhu was stunned!
What the hell is the quality of this cage? Are you just putting it up to show off?
Furthermore, without the "isolation" of the cage from Lin Tailai, Liu Qianhu also lost his sense of security, and he hurriedly took several big steps back.
Standing on the prison car, Lin Tailai looked up at the sky, raised his arms and shouted: "The sky is clear! The sky is clear! There is a traitor who has deceived the Holy One!"
Friends who were watching in the outer circle finally felt relieved when they saw this scene.
This kind of painting style is normal. This is the Lin Tailai they are familiar with.
Lin Tailai finally called out "Tianri Zhaozhao". They didn't recognize the Lin Tailai who had previously crooned "Red Bean Song"!
"Come on! Come on!" Everyone couldn't help cheering together.
Lin Tailai pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet, and then chanted affectionately:
"One step up the mountain, one step down the water, walking towards the bank of Yuguan, it's late at night and there are thousands of tent lights.
The wind is blowing, the rain is blowing, my hometown dreams are shattered, and there is no such sound in my hometown.
A song called "Song of Love", dedicated to the hometown that haunts me in my dreams!"
Everyone: ""
Understand, today’s theme is homesickness, and Lin Jiuyuan didn’t prepare anything else at all.
Could it be that Lin Jiuyuan also wants to imitate Shen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and run away with a bucket? Is this forcibly paving the way?
Lin Tailai jumped down from the prison car, swinging his sleeves, revealing a corner of the leather armor inside. He also pulled out a bronze helmet from the car and put it on his head.
Liu Qianhu's eyes almost popped out of his head again. Who kind of prisoner can hide armor? What kind of unscrupulous prisoner is this?
In front of him was Lin Tailai, who was heavily armored, surrounded by forty or fifty of the other party's servants. Liu Qianhu suddenly felt that he was completely surrounded.
Lin Tailai moved his legs and feet a few times, twisted his neck, and walked towards Liu Qianhu in an aggressive manner.
"You can't do it! Brother Lin can't do it!" Zhou Yingqiu, who was sober in the world, shouted.
To be continued...
