Chapter 560: Leisurely Garden, Listening to Leisurely Songs and Not Asking about Worldly Battles
After all, Ye Guang is the commander of the second-level capital, and this house is also in the West City where the powerful gather. Therefore, the serious fight that happened next door became the focus of people's attention at the first moment, and that night in Liu Jin's house
The events of that night banquet were spread by word of mouth among many people, intentionally or unintentionally, and by early the next morning it had become common knowledge. Officials from the five government offices and six ministries on both sides of the Qianbu Corridor were arriving at the yamen.
When they clicked their thumbs, they would even exchange a knowing look.
"After all, you are still a young man, and you will be impulsive to do such excessive things!" This is the relieved sigh of the veterans. "Now there is a good show to watch, let's watch them dog bite dog!" This is a refreshing message for the eunuchs to gnash their teeth.
"Is Shizhen trying to bring down Qiu Ju?"
This was the first reaction of Lin Han, the Minister of Civil Affairs, after he arrived at the Yamen early in the morning and heard about this incident. As the mainstay of the Qingliu River in the south of the Yangtze River, although he has now given up his instinct as a mouthpiece, his sharp and sharp point of view is still there.
Zhang Cai, who was about to become his subordinate, asked such a question. He didn't answer, which was regarded as acquiescence. He pondered thoughtfully for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Can Ye Guang not be able to delay for a few days?"
Zhang Cai secretly admired Lin Han's insight, nodded and said: "Although you have never said it, as far as I know, Ye Guang should not survive this year. The reason why Qiu Ju was so blatant next to Ye Mansion,
It was because the Lord was not here before and his Dongchang had been unable to open up the situation, so he inevitably moved Jin Yiwei's idea. After all, even if Jin Yiwei is temporarily on the decline, the family wealth and the team of informants accumulated over the years are not trivial, and they are naturally attractive.
be envious."
"But Shizhen has already captured Jin Yiwei, so of course he won't be allowed to commit any crimes?" Lin Han answered, and when Zhang Cai nodded slightly again, he asked again, "But Liu Jin behaved like this last night?"
Bi Shizhen was more proactive, and even He Qiu Ju wanted to be tit-for-tat, so why...could it be that he and Qiu Ju were having internal strife!"
"Lin Butang is brilliant!"
"What a clever thing. Things are already so obvious. If I can't see it anymore, wouldn't I be blind? Since they are fighting among themselves, we will not get involved in this matter. Let them make trouble. You go back and inform Zhang Duxian
Let him say to his most promising young talents in the Metropolitan Procuratorate: Let others bite the dog, let’s watch the fire from the other side and save the effort!”
Zhang Cai made this trip specifically to prevent Lin Han, a veteran Qingliu, from being impulsive and inflicting insults on his disciples and old disciples, hitting Qiu Ju with a heavy blow and ruining the entire plan. Therefore, he was entangled in the official department.
After a while, he returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but went straight to see Zhang Fuhua. After he had comforted the Zuodu censor, he went to the Hanlin Academy to find Kang Hai for an interview.
After a while, he finally rushed to the Xu Mansion, only to learn that Xu Xun had gone to Xianyuan. Although it was the office hours of the Yamen and he was already skipping work, he still left aside any official duties he might have and left immediately.
To Xuanwumen.
He has always been a person who goes all out when doing things and enjoys life in his spare time. Therefore, he is a frequent visitor to the one-third-acre land near Xianyuan. He has not yet arrived at Xianyuan. He can hear the constant sounds of hawking all around.
, from the small two- and three-story buildings in several alleys, the sound of the singer practicing her voice, the sound of the music girl playing the strings, and all the noise of the market rushed towards him, making his originally complicated heart calm for a moment.
Quite a few. When he saw Xianyuan from a distance, he suddenly discovered that there were many burly men wandering around there. They were obviously not the guards of ordinary wealthy families, but the imperial guards of the palace.
Xu Xun abducted the little emperor and left the palace as soon as he came back?
Zhang Cai was secretly worried that Xu Xun would take the opportunity to sue Qiu Qiu Ju today because of yesterday's incident. He suddenly felt worried. He patted the horse and sped up. When he got off the horse at the gate of Xianyuan, a young man who knew him well came up to lead the horse.
He led him inside and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency and Mr. Zhu are listening to a play in the No. 1 Tianzi box of the theater. Mr. Zhang can go directly there to find someone!"….
Hearing the answer that he most wanted to know, Zhang Cai casually tipped a silver coin and walked quickly towards the theater. Before he reached the end of the field, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras could be heard from inside, followed closely by another
It's a beautiful song.
"It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming all over the place, but they are all abandoned by the ruined wells and ruined buildings. Whose family can enjoy the beautiful scenery on a good day? Flying in the morning and evening, clouds and green pavilions, raindrops and wind, smoke and waves painting boats. The people of Jinping are so special
Look at this shameless time!"
As soon as Zhang Cai heard this, he knew it was a play that he had never heard of. He immediately stepped inside as soon as his feet stopped. He was a very familiar customer. Although he walked straight to the second floor in casual clothes, he still felt
No one stopped him, and he went straight to the Emperor's Box No. 1, which was facing the stage. He nodded to Cao Qian and Ruisheng who were waiting outside, and immediately bent down and got in. However, unlike what he imagined, the emperor and his ministers were having a secret discussion.
Zhu Houzhao was tapping the music with his eyes half open and half closed, and didn't even notice that he came in. However, Xu Xun nodded to him and waved him over.
"Xilu, you have very fast legs, and you actually ran here just in time." Xu Xun smiled slightly, pursed his lips at Zhu Houzhao, and asked in a low voice, "You must have never heard of this drama today?"
Zhang Cai remembered his surprise and appreciation when he heard the lyrics just now, and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Looking at the posture of the master, it must be a new play? I really haven't had time to come to Xianyuan for a while, so I have never heard it. This is
What play is it, is it written by Tang Jieyuan or Kang Zhuangyuan, and how far has it been performed today?"
"It's "The Peony Pavilion"." Xu Xun secretly sighed that Tang Xianzu would have to watch this play when he grew up in the future. Then he suppressed the unnecessary emotion and said with a smile, "I mentioned this to Bohu.
As an idea, he also found a playbook such as "Du Liniang's Admiration Resurrection". He and his wife pondered for a long time before starting to write such a play. Today is just a trial performance, and they will perform some mature arias from it.
Once it was performed, it would be easier to attract audiences in the future, so it didn’t count as the first one. I revealed a little bit of the general plot to the emperor. The emperor was very interested, and the lyrics were beautiful. Even though it wasn’t the whole play, he still watched it.
"
Xu Xun only remembers a rough plot of The Peony Pavilion, and only this popular libretto can be recited. Coupled with the storybook and Tang Yin's writing experience, he is fully confident that he can set off a craze again. Wait until he is free here
Once it is performed in the theater, it will be performed in other places. How much money the script sells is secondary. The most important thing is that it can lead the trend of popular culture.
"The lyrics are good. Compared with the impassioned heroics of the Heshuo Elegy before, it has a different kind of elegance and uniqueness." Zhu Houzhao had already come over and said with a smile, "Zhang Cai, how can you find time to come here at this time?
Come on, are you fishing in public? Zhang Fuhua is the most sincere person, and he is not afraid of anyone suing you in front of him for just hanging around, but you won't be able to live without it!"
Zhang Cai is not one of those upright and honest people. Since the little emperor was joking, he laughed and said: "Your Majesty, if Mr. Zhang really accuses me, the minister will naturally say it seriously. It is what we should do to understand the public opinion, so
Weichen was traveling around the market today, and happened to meet the emperor who was also conducting a private visit incognito to gauge the public sentiment."
"Hahaha, you dare to say that!" Zhu Houzhao didn't feel dissatisfied, seeing that the sound outside had stopped. He tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Xu Xun and said, "There is nothing wrong with the play Gaiming'er."
It’s finished. Can you put it in the palace and perform it? I’ll ask the Empress Dowager and the Empress Mother to watch it together.”
"Your Majesty, if this play starts to be staged, you and your future empress will definitely love to watch it. It's just the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager... If I'm honest, I'm afraid they will say it's immoral." Thinking back to the beginning.
Lin Daiyu's sentence of "good times and beautiful scenery" can make Xue Baochai teach him a lesson, not to mention the emperor Zhu Houzhao? So, seeing Zhu Houzhao suddenly showing a helpless expression, Xu Xun smiled and said, "The emperor will work harder in the future. Be a
Loudspeaker.”….
Zhang Cai came here specially today. Naturally, it was not to talk about the text of these dramas. However, it was very rare for other ministers to see the emperor, so they couldn't help but express themselves. But he was thanks to Xu Xun, and he often appeared there.
He often saw the emperor in Xianyuan. At this time, he wished that Zhu Houzhao would leave quickly so that he could talk to Xu Xun. But the others below gradually dispersed without saying anything, but Zhu Houzhao had no intention of leaving at all, and instead raised his fingers.
He said to Xu Xun: "Xu Xun, you mentioned issuing bonds during the court meeting before. What do you mean by that?"
The financial means of issuing bonds is a double-edged sword for a country with centralized monarchy. Just like when Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on promoting Baobao, in the end Baobao almost turned into papyrus. So after Xu Xun threw out that concept, it was
Waiting for the reaction of the centrists headed by Li Dongyang, he did not really intend to be so reckless. So at this moment, of course he would not paint any bright prospects for Zhu Houzhao. He just smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is between Rong Chen and a few people."
The elder monks and secretaries of the pavilion will discuss it before reporting it. Your Majesty doesn’t want a surprise to turn into a disappointment, does he?”
"You just love to show off!" Zhu Houzhao didn't feel dissatisfied at all, but curled his lips in disappointment. He tilted his head and was thinking about how to get the words out of Xu Xun's mouth, when he suddenly heard Ruisheng's voice from outside.
.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Liu sent someone from the palace to ask the Emperor to return to the palace as soon as possible. He has important matters to meet with the Emperor." After saying this, Ruisheng paused, and then added, "Eunuch Liu also said
, if Uncle Pingbei is free, please come over with us."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help turning his head to look at Xu Xun, but Xu Xun seemed to have known this for a long time, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to follow the emperor back to the palace, but today I just had half a day's leisure, and now Xilu
There should be something to discuss when I come here. I have to go to the 12th Regiment Camp in the afternoon, and I have to stay there at night. I really can’t spare the time. Please also ask the Emperor to tell Eunuch Liu and ask him to forgive me."
"Come on, come on, go and do your work, I'll leave first!"
Seeing the little emperor flicking his sleeves and walking away in anger, Xu Xun looked at Zhang Cai and said, "Is Xilu here here about Qiu Ju? Don't worry, I won't accuse others of being cunning like this. Eunuch Liu has always been more impatient than me.
, I invited the emperor back so anxiously, and I am probably going to make trouble. Since I have already been borrowed the knife by Qian Ning, I will let Eunuch Liu take the spotlight for the next trip! But the beauty you brought back before, I'm afraid
Someone is thinking about it."
Hearing what Xu Xun said, Zhang Cai suddenly laughed: "A beauty is a beauty, and business is business. If people think that I will extend my hand to win over her regardless of public or private matters, wouldn't I be playing into your master's hands?"
