Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chalou is located in the Beijing Meat Market, also known as Guanghelou. This is the most prosperous place in Beijing. In addition to theaters, storytellers, restaurants and other places that make people linger, today is the middle of the year.  Business was booming, and everyone gathered under a tall stage to listen to stories.

    The storyteller was dressed in a robe and a mandarin jacket. He came up and said a few concluding poems: "The horse is thin and hairy and has fat hooves. A son who steals his father is not considered a thief. A blind uncle marries a blind nanny. The old couple has lived together for more than half their lives. Who knows?"  I didn¡¯t see anyone!¡±

    This was the first time Jingyu heard this silly poem, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "EmperorMaster, listen, how fun is it?"

    "Okay, let's sit down and listen." The emperor found an empty seat near the pillars and sat down.  Listening to the storyteller on the stage telling stories, "What I'm going to talk about today is the battle at Anshan Lake in Shandong Province in the seventh year of Xianfeng's reign in this dynasty!"

    "It is said that the Holy Lord has ascended the throne, the world has surrendered, the people have returned to their hearts, the clouds are steaming, the clouds are shining, and the scenery is magnificent. There is only one Western country, England, and one country, France. They are arrogant and arrogant. They are ungrateful to our emperor Huairen for spreading his holy spirit far away. He is arrogant and raises troops to invade.  ¡­¡±

    Having said this, the storyteller paused for a moment and raised his hands to the audience, "Everyone, if you want to put it aside, can you agree?"

    There are those who like to make noises and shout back, "No!"

    "Exactly!" The storyteller slapped the tree hard, "Who is my emperor? He is a wise and powerful man, and a saint of martial arts. How can he be deceived by the small country of Yingyi? The dragon's bookcase was slapped, and the emperor Long Yan was furious and sent a new army.  Soldiers, Shandong is facing the enemy. In this battle, a great hero emerges. His name is Hu Xiaomao!"

    The emperor held his cheek in his hand and listened to the storyteller on the stage. He watched foam form at the corners of his mouth as he talked about the battle at Anshan Lake in a dazzling way.  It was like being on the battlefield in person, and I felt funny in my heart. I had asked everyone before, even Zeng Guofan, Sai Shang'a, Yishan and others put together, they couldn't be as lively and fun as this person!

    Watching him dance and make gestures and talk, his movements seemed to be exactly like that, but there was only one thing wrong: although the story was new.  But the saying remains the same, just like in the Three Kingdoms, with the sword raised and lowered, the enemy will be killed off the horse.  This isn't Hu Xiaomao, it's clearly Guan Yunchang!

    "Speaking of it, Hu Jun saved his brother in front of the gate. These two Kun and Zhong served their country and killed the enemy, and became famous in Japan! You need to know how Hu Xiaomao saved his brother's life. We will talk about it next time!" Leave this so-called 'button'  ¡¯, the storyteller stood up, bowed, turned and walked off the stage.

    There was thunderous applause from the audience, and Jingyu¡¯s hands turned red.  He also forgot the taboo, "Master. Why don't you applaud?"

    "This man is obviously talking nonsense!" the emperor laughed and scolded, "is he worthy of you encouraging him like this?"

    "How is this nonsense?" Jingyu rolled her eyes at him.  "How nice it sounds!"

    The emperor did not argue with her, because the storyteller's story made him feel a rare feeling of an old friend. Hu Xiaomao had never seen him since he came to Beijing!  "Six Blessings?"

    Although it was noisy in the building, Liufu paid attention to the emperor's facial expressions. Seeing his lips move, he hurriedly came closer, "Master?"

    "I want to see Hu Xiaomao, please go down and make arrangements."

    "Master, do you want to see me now?" Seeing the emperor nod, he added, "Then, let me wait for the master to return to the palace and prepare immediately."

    "No, there is no need to go back to the palace. You go and deliver the order to Shen Baozhen. I will go to the Ministry of Punishment in a while. Also, don't disturb anyone else."

    Liufu felt very embarrassed. The inspection of the building was too complicated. He left the emperor here alone and turned around to leave. If something happened, how could he afford it?  "emperor¡­¡­"

    "Go quickly!"

    Liufu was helpless, thinking that he had to finish his errands as soon as possible this time.  He bowed and left quickly.

    The program changed again on the stage, this time it was an opera, Kunqu Opera "Palace of Eternal Life", this opera was also performed in the palace, and they were all the leading performers in the opera house who had failed to live up to the expectations of the time.  A lot more content.  This play was adapted from Hong Sheng's version of the Qing Dynasty. If it were to be performed formally, it would take a very long time and would take several days to complete. Naturally, such a series of dramas cannot be staged in this building. Only a few opening scenes will be performed.  Zhezi.

    It turns out that since the rise of opera in the Legend Dynasty in the late Yuan Dynasty, regulations have become increasingly strict. The roles are divided into Shengdan and Jingchou, or the four lines. Each line is further divided according to the identity of the person in the play, including Xiaosheng, Fumo, and Laowai.  ; Dan has Xiao Dan, Lao Dan, and Tie Dan; Jing has Da Nian and Er Dan; ugly is not distinguished; in addition, there is one person who makes jokes, which is called Za; collectively they are called the twelve roles in the world.

    The protagonists of this play are naturally Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang Guifei. The other important characters are An Lushan as Da Mian, Yang Guozhong as Er Mian, and Gao Lishi as Chou.  The main characters of these four lines should appear as soon as possible so that the audience can recognize the protagonists clearly.  However, the rule of legend is fromThe last opening, the first one is also called the heading, or the carelessness of the family.  As usual, the deputy director sings two songs and reads four closing poems, which are intended to explain the plot summary of the legend.

    Next is the second scene. The first one to appear must be the protagonist, named Chongchang, who sings a long tune. Then he signs up, reports his origin, and introduces other characters. The plot also unfolds like spring clouds and gradually gets better.

    "The Palace of Eternal Life" is a love affair as soon as it starts. Same as above, but when Yang Guifei comes on stage, she also has to introduce herself. There is a long sung verse with very beautiful words. The full recording is as follows.

    "The Yang family of the Nu family is from Hongnong. His father is Yuan Dan, who was an official in Shuzhong. He lost his parents early and was raised in his uncle's house. He was born with a Yuhuan on his left arm. Taizhen's son is named Yuhuan.  The small characters are too true, the character is gentle. The appearance is gorgeous, the robe is wiped with tears like ice, the rosy silk is thinly wiped, the sweat is fragrant, the lotus is the holy family, pulled from the official concubine; ranked as a noble concubine, and the ceremony is the same as the queen. There is a brother  Loyal to the country, I worship you as the Right Chancellor, and my third sister is granted the title of Madam, which is a great honor. I slept in the West Palace last night, but Yun Jiaoyu was timid, and I didn't get up until noon today."

    The recitation of this content is very elegant, and the characters' movements are more gentle, but in the emperor's view, there are many flaws. First of all, the recitation is too long, which snubbed Emperor Tang Ming; secondly, Kun Opera is called "Shui Mo Tune",  If you are gentle and polite, you will lose your temper. People who are impatient sometimes feel impatient.

    Jingyu listened with great interest. She originally grew up in the south.  Listening to the local accent of Kun Opera was very satisfying, and she refused to leave until the emperor urged her to get up.  Review frequently.  "Where are we going?"

    "Have you forgotten? I just asked Liufu to go on an errand. It's almost time now." The emperor coaxed her like a child, "If you like, wait until tomorrow and ask the people from the Shengping Department to be in the palace  Sing, let you listen to it to your heart¡¯s content.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s lively here, but it¡¯ll be boring when we go back.¡± After saying this, Jingyu didn¡¯t dare to say more, and held his hand while humming.  All the way out of the inspection building.

    *******************************************

    When he got outside, he did not get on the carriage. The royal guards drove the carriage behind him, accompanied by several people.  Walking slowly along Qianmen Street, it is not far from Tianjie Liubu Yamen, but it is close to Dashilan. The street scene is very prosperous, and a few people walking and driving are walking forward.

    Through the dense flow of people.  The crowds in front of him gradually decreased, and there was a refreshing feeling in front of him. Jingyu followed behind him, urging him without hesitation.  "You haven't finished telling me the story yet? Go on!"

    "Do you still want to say something?" The emperor smiled bitterly and looked up.  Not far ahead is Qipan Street, but it seems that the Six Blessings have not returned yet.  Everyone on the left and right had nothing to do, so they nodded enthusiastically, "Okay then, where did we end up talking?"

    "You said that the emperor sent someone to bring Master Zhu back to Beijing, but you haven't said who he is yet!"

    "Master Zhu's name is Zhu Gui, also known as Shijun. He is from Xiaoshan, Zhejiang Province. He moved to Beijing from his father's time. His native place is Daxing. In the 13th year of Qianlong's reign, he was a Jinshi and a member of the Imperial Academy. He was only 18 years old and served as a foreign official for 15 years.  , when he was forty years old, he was recruited from within and served as a lecturer to the bachelors. He went straight to the study and was the teacher of Emperor Jiaqing."

    "Oh, such a master?"

    "Yeah." The emperor suddenly felt bored and lost interest in talking. He walked alone in silence. Jingyu noticed his abnormality, but did not dare to ask the reason, and did not dare to be as naughty as before. He walked softly and followed  behind him.

    I saw the outside of the main gate of the Ministry of Punishment. It was in the period of government closure. The gate was closed tightly, and there were bursts of laughter and laughter inside. Hearing this, the emperor's face became more and more gloomy.  "Your Majesty, it's still cold outside, you my servant will wait for you to go to the car first?"

    "No need, the cool breeze here is soothing to the mind." The emperor waved his hand, "Oh, they are here too."

    Jingyu turned around and looked over, and sure enough, two large blue woolen sedans came quickly from the sky street. Before the sedan could stop, Liufu got out first, lowering his head and saying, "Master, slave I'm back late, please live forever."  Forgive me!"

    "Why are there so many here? Is there anyone else here?"

    "Yes. Lord Hubu Weng is also at Shen Zhongtang's house, so he came with this servant."

    The emperor nodded silently. Shen Baozhen and Weng Tonghe had also gotten out of the sedan chair. One was in court uniform, and the other came in casual clothes. They met and saluted, "Your Majesty, I respectfully greet you, Your Majesty."

    "I occasionally had a whim and wanted to meet Hu Xiaomao, but it disturbed you so much that you couldn't even live a stable life for a year." The emperor forced out a smile, as if he was half-joking, "I heard that Liufu went to your house to deliver an edict.  Are you scared?"

    "Your Majesty, I am really shocked!" Shen Baozhen said honestly, "Your Majesty, let me say something disrespectful. Such weather is for the sake of the world and the people. Your Majesty, you really shouldn't  Let¡¯s go out for a tour!¡±

      "Okay, I'm here even if I don't come. Should I just go home like this? Go and do your errands!"

    "Yes." Shen Baozhen fulfilled his duty of admonishing the ministers and did not say any more. He went to the main gate of the Ministry of Justice to prepare for his errands.

    "Your Majesty, you"

    "Why, Shen Baozhen just said what he said, and you are coming again?" The emperor looked sideways at Weng Tonghe, "I'm a little tired today and don't want to talk to you more. If I have something to say, I'll talk about it later."

    "I have been fortunate enough to serve the emperor for many years. I know that for the common people, my emperor often behaves in a low-key manner to bring some happiness to the people. However, for the emperor, he never uses this as a pastime. Instead, he often  Visiting the people's opportunities and listening to their concerns is the basis for the imperial court's implementation of various beneficial policies! Therefore, I dare not think that the emperor's behavior is wrong. On the contrary, I feel inexplicably happy to see my emperor's old colors again today!"

    "You are really good at picking up what I like to hear." The emperor smiled and cursed, "Get up." When he stood up, he asked again, "How are the ministry's errands recently? Can you still get started?"

    "I ask myself if I can't learn those skills, so I have to rely on Li Shangshu and Yan Zhongtang to give guidance."

    "There are specialties in the art industry, Yan Jingming didn't mention it, it's just right for Lishan to do errands for the Ministry of Household Affairs."

    "No one knows people better than the Emperor." Weng Tonghe said, "But I have been in the Ministry of Household Affairs for several months. I occasionally saw official documents exchanged between Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces. I undertook the winter clothing for the green camp soldiers for the weaving yamen of the two provinces, and used the vassal treasuries in their respective provinces to pay for them.  The amount of work payment is never uniform, and there are huge discrepancies.¡±

    "Oh?" The emperor asked vaguely without taking it seriously, "How much is the difference?"

    "The amount from the Jiangsu vassal treasury is two hundred and seven hundred thousand taels; the Zhejiang vassal treasury only advanced less than 600,000 taels."

    "So much difference?"

    "yes."

    The emperor was a little suspicious, this was too different!  Is it a difference in quality or quantity?  He thought about it seriously, Jiangsu Weaving is Yu Kun, and Zhejiang Weaving is Lianjia. Both of them have been met by him in person, and they are both from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but specifically, it is difficult to remember them.  .  "I've made a note of it and will talk about it later." (To be continued)
