Chapter 711

During the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-], the entire Xijing Chengtian Liangzhou Prefecture has almost become a world of flowers and fruits.

Grapes and pomegranates from Anxi and the river are as eye-catching as precious gems.

The air-dried candied plums from Jiangnan Road, and the air-dried longan from Lingnan.

The big duck pears in Hebei are yellow and clear, and the Lin'ao in Guanzhong are bright red. Just looking at them makes people drool.

At this time, the four doors of Liangzhou Mansion were wide open, and all the citizens put on their most colorful clothes.

The Tubo, Qiang and local Han people who came down from the high mountains built a bonfire outside the city, and danced and sang songs since dusk.

The encouragement team from Qiuci performed hard in various places in Simen.

Orchids from Persia and Ningyuan flew up their dancing skirts, causing nearby men to stare at her white legs under the long skirt, wishing they could stick their eyeballs on it.

Orchids don't care at all, in their perception, beauty is a woman's best weapon.

If you don't have a beautiful face, you have to use your other strengths. If you don't even have this ability, how can you gain a foothold in this foreign country.

However, soon the troublemaker came. A fat businessman from Hebei passed by here. He felt as if his talent had been triggered. fast.

The surrounding cheers, drums and dancing attracted a large number of onlookers, and soon they were around here, dancing into a group.

If you are thirsty, you will take a sip of the good wine. If you are hungry, someone will offer you some fruit cakes.

Music and dance are one of the best ways to convey feelings. Whether it is a businessman who has just arrived in Liangzhou, or a local resident, or a young athlete who is summoned, everyone's face is full of enthusiasm. Inner smile.

Suddenly, there was a burst of jubilation. It turned out that the sage announced that the people in Liangzhou at the moment will be rewarded with one hundred yuan per person. With the household registration book and road guides, they can go to the government to exchange for a designated ticket of one hundred yuan.

Although this kind of designated ticket can only be purchased at the merchants designated by the Hexi Chamber of Commerce, one hundred yuan is not a lot, and mutton can be bought for more than [-] catties.

Long live!Long live!Long live!

Cheers suddenly spread throughout the city, and those outsiders who had just arrived in Liangzhou were even more excited, feeling that they were worth it, and immediately bathed in the emperor's favor.

The locals in Liangzhou were even more excited, but they pretended to be indifferent and told these outsiders with a calm demeanor that the saint is very generous, and we are often rewarded, this is just a sprinkle of water!

With Zhang Tie's magnanimity of throwing out [-] to [-] guan at a time, in fact, there is not [-] to [-] guan, and now the Hexi Chamber of Commerce is similar to Zhang Tie's private property.

These designated tickets just helped him digest his inventory. It looked worth 1 to [-] guan, but in fact the cost was only more than [-] guan.

And with his magnanimity, wealthy merchants, big households, ministers, temples, and even ordinary vendors in and around Liangzhou City began to engage in big discounts and big gifts.

A fat sheep can be sold for around [-] renminbi, while Khotan Purple Wine used to cost only [-] cents, but now it only sells for [-] renminbi.

The remaining Persian blankets, Dashi pearls, Daqin olive oil, scented leaves, Tianzhu brown sugar, Shuzhong brocade, and Jiangnan silk satin are also sold at three yuan and two yuan.

For a while, the men were drunk, the women were holding colorful brocades and satins, their faces were full of joy, the children were full of food, and they ran around excitedly with their stomachs full, so as to digest the excess energy.

Someone set up a ring in the south of the city, attracting many athletes to compete.

Someone set up a stage in the north of the city, and performed "Supreme Great Sage Subduing Demons and Protecting the Dharma", "Lingjiu Mountain Gets the Way to Punish Demons" and "One Hundred and Eight Generals of Tiangangdisha", which attracted the whole city to go to the movies.

Among them, "Supreme Heaven Loudly Subduing Demons and Protecting the Dharma" tells the story of Zhang Shengren beating all heretics who did not respect the Buddha in Tianzhu, and then making them cry bitterly and repent.

"Lingjiu Mountain Gets the Tao and Punishes Evil Demons" tells the story of Zhang Shengren, who was enlightened by the Buddha on Lingjiu Mountain, flew to the Nine Heavens to kill all kinds of evil spirits, and restored the peace and tranquility of the world, which was praised by all people.

"Tian Gang Di Sha One Hundred and Eight Generals" tells the story of Zhang Shengren's one hundred and eight generals.

Zhang Ting intervened a little bit, and didn't let him write about Yuan Congjiang, who still exists, so there are generally only three stories in this collection.

Among them, the first scene is called the master's failure, and it tells the story of Yuan Cong, who was the first sacrifice of Zhang Tie, to give birth to a son.

It is said that he came down to earth as the evil star of the earth, but was plotted by villains, cast into the wrong fetus when he descended to the lower realm, and even broke his head, so his life was extremely difficult.

Later, Zhang Shengren Erlang Zhenjun woke up and followed the journey to the west, but because of the wrong birth, the practice was delayed, and the martial arts had not yet recovered, but he was still fearless.

After he died in the battle, Zhang Shengren Erlang Zhenjun did not hesitate to use his own blood as a guide to promote the fire birth tablet into Longtong Zhang's family temple, so that his soul could finally ascend to the Nine Heavens of Bliss and return to his place as the brave star of Earth Shade.

The second scene is called the final return to the position outside Polu Prefecture. It is about Zhang Shengren's first tough battle in Anxi. .

In this battle, the Karahans, who were killed by one hundred yuan against one hundred, threw away their helmets and armors. Just when they were about to win a big victory, the Karahans recruited the wizard of the Great Eater and cast spells on them. Kill me Zhang Shengren.

As the guard of Zhang Shengren, Tiankuxing Luo Crazy Horse used his body to block the hidden arrows aimed at Zhang Shengren.

At the time of his death, Luo Fengma was only worried about Gaotang's parents, so Zhang Tie swore to take care of his parents for Luo Fengma until their death.

The third scene is called The Cry of Heaven and Earth Outside Suiye City, which tells the story of Qu Wulang.

This person is Zhang Tieyuan's generals, originally ranked only after Bai Congxin, Ma Yaozi, and Ma Shacai, the fourth Ma Xiaojiang general, with a superb bow and horse, known as Xiao Luocheng.

However, during the Battle of Suiye, his horse accidentally slipped and fell off, and he was finally killed by the swarming Persian infantry.

In this opera, his deeds are changed to Qu Wulang's beautiful appearance, invincible bow and horse, the Persians who had been killed a long time ago were terrified, and seeing that they couldn't beat him, they secretly bribed an adulterer to poison his horse, and unfortunately fought in the end. dead.

After Zhang Shengren heard the news of his death in battle, he buried him with his own hands without eating for several days, and vowed to make the Persians pay the price.

These three stories can actually be regarded as a whole. The characters range from the ordinary Huoshenger who is around the common people to the strongman Qu Wulang who is both bow and horse, and the sense of substitution is gradually improved.

At the same time, in these three stories, Zhang Ting has a strong sense of existence.

In the story of Huo Shenger Zhang Zhao, Zhang Tie's benevolence is reflected.In the story of Luo Crazy Horse, Zhang Tie's faith and filial piety are reflected.Qu Wulang's story embodies Zhang Tie's righteousness.

The halo around me, Zhang Shengren, is also advancing layer by layer.

Ordinary people read these three stories, apart from sighing for the fate of the heroes, they can also think of the kindness and righteousness towards their subordinates. After the battle, they will support their parents and raise their children. The image of the Holy Lord who was in pain after they died in battle.

Just ask those men who fight with their heads on their waistbands, who would not want to have such a king?
And there are many things implied in it, such as 36 Tiangang and 72 Disha, these things are not from Buddhism, but from Taoism, and Zhang Shengren's Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun is not from Buddhism either.

This is Zhang Ting's intention to promote the interaction and even integration between Buddhism and Taoism, realizing his idea of ​​using the Buddha as the skin and the core to carry the Chinese culture.

Otherwise, after the Six Dharma Schools grow stronger, they might backfire. In Zhang Ting's vision, the Six Dharma Schools will even merge with Confucianism in the later period to achieve a Chinese culture that is both Buddhist and Taoist.

At the same time, in Qu Wulang's story, there are traitors in Suiye City, and the Persians have not yet reported their bloody revenge.

This is exactly the tail left by Zhang Tie, leading the hatred to the Persians and the broken leaf traitors.

This is called triple win!I, Zhang Shengren, won three times alone!
. . . .

The six tribes of Dafeichuan, the eight tribes of Qiang and Tubo in Xishan, and the 31 Dongdai of Songpan Prefecture came together.

Zhang Ting sent the inspectors of the Longyou Province to meet them in person, and when they entered the city, they were also specially allowed to go through the north gate.

At this time, Zhang Zhouchao's opera level has improved by leaps and bounds with the support of Zhang Tie.

Before that, the early form of opera had already appeared. It originated from the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms. It was called joining the army, performed for many people, and the plot was relatively complicated.

This kind of military drama does not have as many exquisite and fancy costumes as Peking Opera.

After all, although Peking Opera is called the quintessence of the country, it is indeed a master of Chinese drama, but in terms of clothing and colors, it is largely influenced by the tastes of the upper-class nobles of the bannermen. Great for the elderly.

Joining the army drama is closer to the Errenzhuan of later generations in Northeast China in terms of form and structure. It pays attention to the storyline, requires gags, dance moves, and the way someone sings to draw out the plot, but the number of participants is far more than that of Errenzhuan.

Before Zhang Ting made this drama, the more popular religious dramas joining the army were "Damu Ganlian Underworld Rescue Mother Bianwen" and historical "Wu Zixu Bianwen" and "Looking at Shu Nu Zhuanwen" by Mr. Ji. "Zhaojun Change" and so on.

These operas in various forms formed by the fusion of joining the army and Bianwen are the early forms of Goulan Washe Zaju in the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Before Zhang Tie started to vigorously promote it, although it was welcomed by all walks of life, it was still at a stage of being undervalued compared to poetry and poetry, a bit like the attitude of later generations towards social rock and DJ music.

Affected by this kind of ethos, coupled with the social chaos in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, literati did not receive enough respect or even attention. As a result, those who were willing to create this kind of Bianwen were almost all bound to the lower classes of society.

Their knowledge and experience were limited, and what they created was even more unacceptable to high-level officials until Zhang Tie began to vigorously promote it.

Because Zhang Tie, who came from later generations, has deeply felt the impact of cultural products. As a post-[-]s generation who was impacted and washed away by Japanese animation and American blockbusters, Zhang Tie thought that Japan and the United States were heaven before he went to university. It is so powerful. One spot.

Therefore, Zhang Ke changed the name of the drama of joining the army to drama, and changed the name of Bianwen to Romance novels.

In one breath, theaters were set up to perform dramas in more than ten cities, including Luoyang, the capital of God, Kaifeng in Tokyo, Chang'an in Jingzhao, Liangzhou in Xijing, Taiyuan in Beijing, and Zhengding in Hebei, and even wrote the scripts by hand.

What is good at the top must be followed by the bottom, just like the whole world is now talking about loyalty, drama has also begun to flourish because of Zhang Tie's promotion.

Feng Dao, He Ning, Zhao Ying, Wang Pu, Xue Juzheng and other top literati all wrote dramas to cater to the emperor's preferences, and the status of dramas finally skyrocketed.

Especially in Hexi Longyou, Shuofang, Ningxia, Hedong, and Hebei, where the folk customs are a bit rough, it is popular among the whole class. Correspondingly, the plot, costumes, and singing standards have all been greatly improved.

The drama on the left is at its climax, and a tall and crooked wizard who looks like a ghost is cursing loudly.

In the distance, the actor who played the role of Zhang Shengren, I am supreme, is still galloping back and forth to kill the enemy on a fake tall horse made of a wooden stick.

The audience below the stage is in a hurry!
Someone yelled frantically to ask the saint to be careful, and someone yelled and yelled for the people around him to go up to protect him.

There were also a few people dressed as Qiang people kneeling on the ground and muttering, as if they were cursing the sorcerer who ate the law.

Whenever they saw this, the Hu merchants or Hu warriors from the Western Regions would use their sleeves to cover the areas with Hu people's characteristics in low self-esteem, so as to avoid being beaten.

Then, in the anticipation of everyone, the wizard of the Great Devourer suddenly spit out a green poisonous smoke from his mouth, and went straight to me, the Great Sage Zhang.Amidst the screams, the burly warrior playing Luo Crazy Horse rushed to Zhang Tie.

His huge body was suddenly hit by the poison, but at the same time that he fell to the point where he didn't fall, he began to chant.

It is nothing more than singing that he is a star descending to earth, was demoted for no reason, but fortunately the saint rescued him, and vowed to repay the king Yunyun with his death.

From the perspective of later generations, not only the plot is procrastinated, but also the water injection is serious, which is even more unreasonable.

But at this moment, the plot is tight and exciting, and many people were even moved to tears for Luo Crazy Horse's sacrifice on the spot.

Afterwards, I, Zhang Shengren, came back to my senses, shot and killed the wizard of the Great Devouring Method with one arrow, and then rushed to the side of Luo Crazy Horse. At this time, Luo Crazy Horse fell to the ground and fell into the arms of Zhang Shengren.

The two started to sing together again, and Luo Fengma couldn't worry about Ye Niang who was far away in Shazhou, so he began to sing.

"I am the star in the sky. The lower realm is to rebuild the country, so that the people will be less oppressed. I want all the eight directions to come under the rule of the Holy Dynasty. If this is not done, the soul will return to the underworld.

In order to repay the favor of the Holy Lord, I shouldn't be concerned about it. I am only ashamed that Ye Niang's kindness in giving birth has not been repaid. I don't know where my parents will go to settle down. "

The actor who played Zhang Shengren also sang after hearing the words: "I blame Nakarakhan for being ungrateful, and I hate that big food country for coming to destroy my country. I should have received this curse, but let you die right away.

The sky is full of gods and Buddhas, and let my good man return to bliss and enjoy immortal blessings forever.Your Ye Niang will definitely let him wear silk and satin and eat delicacies from mountains and seas, as if you are repaying him. "

The actors sang above, and the people sang along below. Sometimes, the voices of the actors could not be heard clearly.

If it is said that the people in Hexi and Longyou don't have many cultural products to appreciate, then the tribes on the Qingtang Plateau simply have nothing to appreciate.

These people followed Zhang Zhou's officials to enter through the north gate, and they saw the real drama being performed directly, and were immediately attracted.

And they can understand a little bit, because at this time, Longyou in Hexi has experienced hundreds of years of tug-of-war between Tang and Tibet and more than 100 years of Tubo's rule. Even Zhang Tie's ancestor was a Tubo, and the brand of Tubo can be said to be everywhere. .

Reflected in the language, the Chinese in Longyou, Hexi is mixed with a large number of Tubo words, and the Tubo words have an astonishing amount of Chinese.

Even as early as the Zhenyuan period when the Yan Dynasty guarded Shazhou, Tubo Zanpu Chisong Dezan could speak fluent Hexi Chinese, mixed with Tubo words.

And the envoy sent by Yan Dynasty can also use this mixed language to answer the Zanpu envoy. Although it is awkward, it is very familiar and can communicate for a long time.

This is a typical case of the integration of Han and Tibetan tribes in the hundreds of years of alliances and struggles, and it doesn't matter if they don't understand, you can roughly understand it just by watching the performances of the actors.

What's more, I, Zhang Shengren, had anticipated this situation earlier. Under the stage, there were a large number of guards in Jinyi who could speak Tubo as "good-hearted people." ' Explain it to them personally.

Therefore, as soon as these Tubo and Qiang envoys arrived in Beicheng, they were immediately attracted and couldn't walk at all.

At the first rehearsal, they still didn't understand it, but in the second rendition, when the magician was about to cast a spell, there were already Tubo and Qiang warriors who wanted to climb up to block the spell for the Supreme Heaven.

When Luo Crazy Horse sacrificed his life to protect the Lord, the audience roared like thunder, and when Zhang Shengren promised to support Ye Niang for Luo Crazy Horse, many people shed tears.

The officials who greeted them had already received instructions, and when they saw that these Tubo and Qiang people could not walk, they did not urge them, but instead watched them together.

A Tubo man from Songpan Mansion saw at the end of the play that Luo Fengma’s Yeniang was wearing silk and eating meat, and was able to support her life. When Zhang Shengren fulfilled his promise, he was moved to tears.

Suddenly someone shouted in Er'er, "Over there, Qu Wulang outside Suiye City lost his horse's hooves!"

Immediately afterwards, many people shouted, "Look at Ronaldinho, look at Ronaldinho!"

"The White Horse Silver Spear is comparable to Zhao Zilong!"

"Qu Wulang is amazing, Lord Jiuquan said that he is no match for Qu Wulang!"

At this moment, the crowd became completely agitated. Lang Jie Jiangcuo's daughter Lang Yi was so itchy that she lightly pinched the horse's belly and followed the crowd to the direction where she was said to be acting.

Langjie Jiangcuo hurriedly asked several guards to follow his daughter Langyi to protect her safety.

Who knows that the guards under him have never seen this scene before, and they have been fascinated by it for a long time.

You must know that on the Qingtang Plateau, the population of their Songpan Mansion 31 Dongdai site is not as large as Liangzhou City is now, and they have long wanted to watch the excitement.

Now seeing Langjie Jiangcuo wave his hand, dozens of guards rushed out, all rushing to guard Langyi, but in fact they wanted to watch the fun.

In the end, even leaders like Langjie Jiangcuo and Su Shangzhi couldn't help wandering around with the flow of people.

Watching operas, watching various lantern festivals, eating delicious food, drinking fine wine, competing with strangers in dancing skills, and competing in bows and arrows, fists and feet, listening to Bianwen and other entertainment activities directly made these Tibetans and Qiang people completely lost.

They feel like they are in heaven, and the joy of today will be etched in their minds forever.

In this extremely lively and joyous city, everyone is extremely happy. Compared with the competition for the Qingtang Plateau and the 200 years of chaos in the Central Plains, it is really no different from heaven now.

Many years later, people in Chengtian Liangzhou Mansion are still saying that on the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, a nobleman from Songpan Mansion was drunk and was found dancing with his filly in the barn of an inn. !
