"Li Langzhong, you came here day and night, and what kind of scene did you arrange in advance?"
"It was not arranged by me, but it was already there in Kaifeng Mansion. If Lao Yin hadn't caused all the troubles you caused in Tianjin Mansion, I would have rushed to Kaifeng ten days ago to attend this big event! Lao Yin,
I'm afraid you are thinking too much and don't know...that's all, come with me!"
Yin Chang really didn't want to move.
He suddenly fought with others and exhausted his physical strength and energy. At this moment, he felt extremely weak all over his body, not to mention the face and back that were beaten hard by the Tatar and hit by a stone slab. Now there was blood inside and outside his eye sockets, and his eyes were bruised.
I can barely open my eyes, and my lower back hurts so much, as if the tendons are being torn apart.
If he were an ordinary person, he would probably be lying on the ground at this moment, unable to get up. But Yin Chang has been in a trance for decades in the army, has suffered many injuries, and has crawled out of the dead many times. He is getting older.
Point, the tenacity and fierceness are still there.
He understood that Li Yun was by no means a good man or woman. At this time, he still had no control over his own life and death, let alone his future future. At that moment, he groaned twice, gritted his teeth and stood still: "Mr. Li, please!"
The two of them walked one behind the other and staggered out of the official residence.
Walking to the main entrance of the Yamen, Yin Chang stopped for a moment and looked around. The soldiers on duty were still the same team, but the lieutenant leading the team changed from a familiar face to Yin Chang to a stranger. No wonder the people in the left and right departments
Rushing in, these guards neither report nor stop!
Yin Chang glanced over, and the soldiers also saw their superior's embarrassment with a bruised nose and swollen face, and then they looked shocked. But the cold-faced lieutenant didn't say a word, so the soldiers didn't dare to ask.
He held out his chest and belly, and continued to stand up straight.
On the contrary, the attendant who led the horse for Yin Chang exclaimed. Yin Chang immediately yelled: "Shut up! Follow behind!"
The group of people mounted their horses and raised their legs to put on the stirrups. Pain came in waves in their lower backs. Yin Chang was really tough and didn't say a word at all.
The official office of the Tongjun Division is located to the south of Duanmen and to the north of Hengjie. Not far from the door is Longjin Bridge. A hundred years ago, this area used to be the Imperial Street outside the Song Dynasty Palace, and the Daxiangguo Temple next to the street.
It is also known as "a collection of hundreds of skillful craftsmen, and rare things from all over the place." It is the first-class gold-selling cave in the world.
After Dajin invaded the Central Plains, the entire city of Kaifeng inevitably declined. Three years ago, there was a fire that burned countless buildings from Qianbulang in the north to Nanxunmen in the south to ashes.
With the implementation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the new dynasty flourished and the Central Plains returned to stability. The Great Zhou Dynasty used retired warriors to hold various official positions and had very tight control over local and grassroots levels. However, the warriors were generally negligent in nature, not too demanding, and very
There were fewer restrictions on commercial trade and folk entertainment. As a result, the vitality and creativity of countless scholars, farmers, industrialists and merchants both inside and outside Kaifeng and even further afield were unleashed.
In a short period of time, the fire scene returned to its bustling commercial appearance, and the area near Longjin Bridge became a center for many folk arts and troupes.
When the Emperor Guo Ning of the Great Zhou Dynasty was still serving as a military governor in Shandong, he attached great importance to the role of folk arts and operas in gathering people's hearts. He once invited famous opera troupes from Zhigu Village and other places, and personally participated in the writing of many operas.
This book is a drama.
Most of those books promoted the hardships of the soldiers and civilians under the rule of the Jin Kingdom, and vaguely enshrined the Dinghaijun Jiedushi at that time as a star descending to earth, and attached some legendary plots that seemed like a snake-slaying uprising.
In the early Goulan Washili of the Kingdom of Jin, the script of the performance was mainly spoken, supplemented by singing, and the content was mainly funny for the entertainment of dignitaries. But this new type of script has an exciting plot and more characters.
It is a combination of literature, opera and martial arts, lively and interesting, so it is very popular with the audience. In the past two years, various scripts adapted from this have become popular all over the country. Zaju troupes have spread all over the world.
Here in Kaifeng Mansion, the fun-loving custom of the Song Dynasty remains, and various books can easily expand their influence here. In addition, this place is the military and political center of the Zhou Dynasty in Henan, and it is also the key point of support for the Zhou Dynasty in Guanzhong, so daily exchanges,
There are a lot of soldiers stationed there. And the army has been the main audience for miscellaneous plays ever since it was called the Dinghai Navy.
Therefore, Kaifeng Prefecture and Tianjin Prefecture are two important bases where Zaju troupes are active. As for Kaifeng, because it is close to the border between Zhou and Song Dynasties, many Song merchants are allowed to stay here, and these merchants bring with them
The Zaju troupe of the Song Dynasty merged with the new fashion of the Central Plains.
Many teams travel around the military and state to perform on weekdays, but when the New Year comes, they rush back to Kaifeng to attend the biggest event of the year, not only to showcase their team's talents, but also to learn from their peers.
On the old site of Daxiangguo Temple, no less than a dozen high platforms were erected during this period, and no less than dozens of groups were energetic and performed in turns. While performing, they were also competing with each other, because the outstanding programs among them were on the ninth day of the first lunar month.
After that, they will be selected to perform in the "thorn basin" outside Xuande Gate for ten consecutive days.
The so-called "thorn basin" is a large theater in a large square outside Xuande Gate. It is financed by Kaifeng Prefecture and surrounded by silk silk, reed mats and bamboo frames. It can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators. It can be regarded as the best in the world of drama.
Longmen. Whichever program is selected, the price will be tenfold immediately, and it will become a de facto official program. In the future, when performing on the road, you will have the right to embroider a gold-lettered couplet on a two-foot square banner:
"Today, performing arts in the arena is crowded with people. In those days, Jiben performed his skills and dazzled the country and the city."
With this lucky draw, the performance at the Daxiangguo Temple before the Lantern Festival became a preview with a competitive nature. Many theater teams wanted to compete for this, and no one would give in. And the more fierce their competition became,
The harder the performance, the more the audience will be entertained.
Therefore, after Kaifeng Prefecture advanced the date of the Lantern Festival by half a month this year, experienced officials, especially the Song Dynasty merchants who stayed in Kaifeng Prefecture at this time, preferred to follow the preview in temples and temples.
Because the arrangements for many festival scenes originated from the old customs of Kaifeng, that is, from the tradition of the Song Dynasty when Kaifeng was the Bianliang Prefecture in Tokyo. Many merchants of the Song Dynasty watched the grand events described by their ancestors reappear before their eyes, and they were enjoying themselves.
Some were very emotional, some even had tears in their eyes on the spot.
When Li Yun, Yin Chang and others entered this noisy venue, they saw a team performing a big show in full force.
Yin Chang had no idea why Li Yun brought him here. But Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Old Yin, what a coincidence, we just caught up."
Yin Chang managed to cheer up: "What are you catching up with? Didn't you say that you want me to accompany you to deal with a scene so that I can know whether the people of Song Dynasty are weak? What does this have to do with the troupe?"
Li Yun didn't bother to reply and stood on tiptoe to look around.
This great drama has passed the last song at the beginning and has reached the main stage. Dozens of artists are used on the stage to sing, chant and beat, and the audience below is surging like a mountain, with cheers and complaints coming and going.
It turns out that this scene was newly arranged. It tells the story of a fierce battle in Kaifeng a few years ago. King Sui's men set up an ambush and attacked. The Song people refused to advance, but the emperor led his troops to defeat the main force of the Jurchens first and then rushed into the city to save people.
.
In order to arouse the emotions of the audience, the storylines of these books are certainly far from the real situation of the day, and the characters are also exaggerated. For example, most of the Song generals in the play are timid and have neither the ability nor the ability to fight.
courage.
When a clown came on stage holding a wooden sign that looked like a torch, pretending to be about to set fire to it, four or five people dressed as generals of the Song Dynasty on the stage showed their bows and arrows, but nothing happened. They then milled around the place,
They made various gestures of running away in fear, while the clown waved the "torch" with great pride.
This scene follows the old school's tradition of striving to be funny. In the eyes of ordinary audiences, it is nothing more than a small piece of fun. Anyway, you have to mock someone, and there is nothing wrong with mocking the people of the Song Dynasty. But in this situation, if the Song Dynasty was present,
In the eyes of businessmen and merchants, it was a bit unpleasant.
And Li Yun knew even more that the people from Song Dynasty present at this moment were not just ordinary merchants.
Sure enough, at this moment, in the VIP reed shed opposite the stage, someone suddenly exhaled and shouted, and then a silver light flashed and he jumped dozens of steps.
The next moment, an arrow pierced the wooden board that looked like a torch. The arrow was very heavy and long. The huge force carried by the arrow pushed the wooden board completely out of the clown's hand, and then nailed it hard.
