Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

Chapter 281 Kaifeng's No. [-] Beauty Li Shishi

The play is over!The audience left.

The elders of the Kaifeng literary world left the Cuju field one by one with solemn faces, feeling mixed feelings in their hearts. Although they utterly denied it, they had to admit that Quju did have merits.

Seeing everyone leaving the venue, many scribes who were not invited sought out acquaintances one after another.

"Scholar Qin, did Master Li really start a sect?" A Tai student saw a Qin Guan coming out, and hurriedly inquired.

Qin Guan stopped in his tracks, and said solemnly: "Quju indeed has the appearance of establishing a school, but whether it is a third-generation literary school is still controversial."

"Is it really the founding of a sect?"

All the Tai students were in an uproar. You must know that although Li Qingzhao has the title of the most talented woman in the Song Dynasty and has many famous works through the ages, compared with the reputation of the founder of the sect, it is still three points behind.

"Scholar Qin is a member of the Su family, so he naturally favors Li Qingzhao." Some people disagreed.

Qin Guan is a member of the Su Clan, and Li Qingzhao is the leader of the younger generation of the Su Clan. Everyone does not believe Qin Guan's words. After all, it is not an easy task to establish a sect, let alone Li Qingzhao. , making it even more difficult for the literary world of the Song Dynasty to accept.

"Master Zhou Bo, how do you view Quju now!" A Tai student saw Bo Zhou Bangyan, the master of the Imperial College, and asked quickly.

Zhou Bangyan looked ashamed and said: "Master Li is so talented, Zhou feels ashamed."

Everyone asked a few seniors in the literary world one after another, and most of them were full of praise for Quju.

Everyone couldn't help exclaiming, Quju has been recognized as the founding school, and Li Qingzhao's status in the literary world will be infinitely elevated, not to mention that Quju is still controversial as a third-generation literary genre, which means that some people in the genre agree with this point of view.

"What is the charm of Quju!" Many young scholars who did not go in said itchingly.

Soon, when Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao came out together, a doctor's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Fan, I wonder if we can have a glimpse of Master Li's drama."

Fan Zheng raised his head and looked at the expecting students with a slight smile in his eyes: "From tomorrow on, the opera "The Legend of Concubine Yang" will be performed twice a day at the Cuju Field, and the ticket price is one penny per person!"

"Xianggong Quju has just appeared in the world, so it may not be appropriate to collect money!" Li Qingzhao whispered from the side.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong with it. You know that if the oiran appears on the stage, the entrance fee alone will not be less than a hundred cents. Such a wonderful opera only charges one penny per person, which is already the price of conscience."

"Quju is not a brothel, how can it be compared." Li Qingzhao frowned.

Quju has just been questioned by the literary world, and she is eager to prove the influence of Quju, and if she charges for it, it will definitely affect the spread of Quju.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "If you perform for free, no matter how widely it spreads, Quju is just a flash in the pan, and if you want Quju to spread widely, charging is the most important thing."

"Ah!" Li Qingzhao looked at Fan Zheng in bewilderment. She didn't understand why not charging would be harmful, but charging would be beneficial to Quju.

Fan Zhengfan asked: "Do musicians and warriors need expenses, do famous actors need remuneration, and it is impossible for Quju to occupy the Cuju field for a long time. They must have their own performance venues. All these require expenses. Only by making Quju profitable Only by making plans can more people join in, and opera can flourish."

Li Qingzhao suddenly realized that what Fan Zheng said was the right thing to do. If Quju had no income, with her strength alone, even if she spent all her wealth, it might not last long. The only way to attract more people is to attract Only by learning Quju can it be spread widely.

Sure enough, when the doctors heard that the price was only one penny, they all cheered and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Fan!"

A penny is nothing to Dr. Tai. If you can witness the work of Master Li who founded the sect, it will be worth thousands of dollars.

Other literati are also eager to try it. After the word of mouth of the seniors in the literary world just now, everyone knows that the opera "The Story of Concubine Yang" is extremely exciting, and Li Shishi, who plays Concubine Yang, is even more stunning, comparable to an oiran.

If they were in a brothel, they might spend a hundred or a thousand wen to see it, but now they only need one penny, and they can not only witness the third generation of literary schools, but also see Li Shishi, who is comparable to an oiran, so they are naturally eager to try.

"One penny per person!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yi couldn't help but twitched his lips. At the beginning, Fan Zheng became a forensic doctor who started his career with a penny for diagnosis, but now he is doing the same trick again.

He naturally understood that with the brilliance of "The Biography of Concubine Yang", even if it was priced at a hundred articles, there would be people who would generously donate.

And Fan Zheng directly set the ticket price at one penny, so that even ordinary people can afford it. In this way, Quju will become popular all over the world. This is why Fan and Li assert that Quju is the third generation of literary genre. greatest reliance.

Sure enough, just as Fan Zheng had imagined, on the second day, even if the fee was a penny, the Cuju hall was once again full of seats.

Li Qingzhao already had a great reputation in Kaifeng City, and Quju was a pioneering work, and the first public performance caused an uproar in the literary world.

Furthermore, the ticket price of one penny is extremely cheap in Kaifeng City, even ordinary people can afford it. In addition to literati, ordinary people rushed to see it.

However, when they witnessed the wonderful performance of "The Legend of Concubine Yang", they were all overwhelmed by it. Such a large-scale and high-standard performance is far better than spending a lot of money to go to Goulan to listen to the music. up.

Especially the part where the imperial concubine was drunk became very popular in Kaifeng, and everyone rushed to sing it.

"Love and hate are in an instant..."

In the downtown area of ​​Kaifeng, a merchant's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"This is the drunken imperial concubine. Although the singing below is not pleasant to the ear, but Li Shishi's rap singing in the stands, the lingering sound lingers on for three days." The merchant boasted proudly.

The people around were itching with hatred. They just went a little late and didn't get a ticket, otherwise it would be this guy's turn to be embarrassed.

"I don't know, but Li Shishi is even more beautiful than the whole country, and the concubine Yang Guifei in history is nothing more than that." The merchant said proudly.

Everyone felt itchy immediately, not to mention the popular operas, but also to see Li Shishi who is comparable to an oiran, what a wonderful thing it would be to actually only need a penny.

At present, the people of Kaifeng are moved by the news, and they are proud of watching operas. After all, they do not understand poetry and songs, but operas that are actively sung are the most suitable culture for them.

As the performances of the operas were full, the operas gradually spread in Kaifeng.

Among them, Li Shishi, who played the role of Concubine Yang, became famous even more. His beautiful appearance and wonderful dance music are very suitable for Concubine Yang in history. title.

Li Qingzhao's Quju and Li Shishi's Yang Guifei can be said to have achieved each other, which made the popularity of Quju even higher.

Countless people rushed to panic, even if they did not hesitate to buy a ticket in the front row from others, just to see Li Shishi's beauty.

"The number one beauty in Kaifeng!"

What really made Li Shishi famous in Kaifeng is not only her singing and beauty, but also her legendary experience.

As Li Shishi became popular in Kaifeng City, his past was also revealed.

Li Shishi had a miserable life experience. When he was three years old, his father sent him to a Buddhist temple. The old monk believed that he had a relationship with Buddhism and named him Shishi. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, his father suddenly became seriously ill and died. Li Shishi immediately became an orphan. .

When she was four years old, a singer surnamed Li saw that she was a beauty, so she adopted her and changed her name to Li Shishi. She taught her piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing to serve others.

If the normal trajectory is followed, Li Shishi will be exiled and become a singer, but the appearance of one person has changed Li Shishi's fate.That is Fan Zheng, the evil doctor.

"Back then, the evil doctor Fan Zheng turned into a forensic doctor. It was well known in the city, and its momentum was no less than today's Master Li created operas. The evil doctor Fan Zheng transformed Fanlou into a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. It happened that Li Shishi was in Fanlou. , Fan Zheng directly lifted Li Shishi's low status." In the Cuju field, a Kaifeng citizen said with emotion that he had met Li Shishi in the Chinese Medicine Hospital and knew the inside story.

"Li Shishi deserves to be praised by eminent monks as a predestined person. Other women have lived a long life and never got rid of their low status, but Li Shishi is so easy to follow the good." Zhao Ji looked at Li Shishi on the stage and said with emotion.

"More than that, Li Shishi also has the heart of a bodhisattva. After she was rescued by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, she worked as a nurse in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. At that time, the evil doctor Fan Zheng discovered the method of artificial respiration to bring the dead back to life. Due to the criticism of the world, no one in the traditional Chinese medicine hospital dared Using this method to save people, but Li Shishi did not hesitate to use artificial respiration to save many patients." The spectator on the side said with a complicated expression.

"The number one beauty in Kaifeng..." Wang Shen frowned, looking at the fairy-like Li Shishi on the stage in disbelief, who would have thought that she would sacrifice her life to save people.

"No, that's different." The people around said respectfully.

Since ancient times, the brothel geisha has a little bit of red lips, which is despised by the world, and Li Shishi also gives artificial respiration to the patient. Although they are all lips and lips, the world only respects Li Shishi without any blasphemy.

Coupled with the fact that artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation have been promoted in Song Dynasty and become the best first aid method, no one will accuse it of being indecent anymore, and all these changes started with Li Shishi.

"This is the real beauty!" Zhao Ji exclaimed.

If Li Shishi is only beautiful, it can only make Zhao Ji obsessed with his appearance, but Li Shishi not only has a beautiful appearance, but also a heart of a bodhisattva, which makes Zhao Ji fall completely.

The popularity of Quju has exceeded everyone's expectations. Every performance of Quju is full of seats. Both literate literati and illiterate people flock to Quju.

Among the folks, the style of the drunken concubine is popular all over the city, and can even be heard sung in the streets, and the opera can be said to be a great success.

The entire Kaifeng literary world watched this scene in disbelief. Even if a famous poem through the ages appeared in the world, it was only sung among literati. Ordinary Kaifeng citizens come to see the excitement.

However, the influence of the opera "Concubine Yang" has directly covered all the people, whether they are Hongru or Baiding, whether they are men, women, old or young, they are full of praise for it, even women and children are familiar with the story of Concubine Yang, and can even hum a few words The imperial concubine was drunk, which undoubtedly expanded the influence of Quju.

"This kind of influence can be said to be ten times that of Song Ci." A student of Neo Confucianism said helplessly.

From the bottom of his heart, he has almost agreed that Quju is the third generation of literary genre. There is no other, but because the audience of Quju is too wide, and its popularity is enough to beat Tang poetry and Song Ci.

Cheng Yi's face twitched suddenly. Although he sneered at Quju, he had to admit that Quju did have its unique features.

"No matter how popular Quju is, it's still hard to be considered elegant." Cheng Yi sneered.

A disciple sighed and said, "Master, it is rumored that Quju did not give up rhythm, but Li did it on purpose, imitating Bai Juyi, so that women and children can understand it."

If someone else created Quju, it might be questioned by the Kaifeng literary world. However, Li Qingzhao is not an extraordinary person, but the number one talented woman in the Song Dynasty. The famous works under her name are enough to make countless poets feel ashamed.

If it is said that Li Qingzhao does not understand the melody of Pingze, I am afraid no one will believe it, and the only explanation is that Li Qingzhao deliberately gave up the melody of Pingze, so as to further develop opera.

In addition, with Bai Juyi's jewels in front, "The Biography of Concubine Yang" is also adapted from Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Regret", which makes this statement even more credible.

Cheng Yi's face was embarrassed immediately. He knew that if the development continues, Li Qingzhao's operas will become popular in the world. This is an unacceptable result for the old-fashioned Neo Confucianism.

"No, although Quju is extremely popular, it is not without its weaknesses!" Cheng Yi snorted coldly.

"Weakness?" The disciple was greatly puzzled.

Cheng Yi solemnly said: "It's a crime of disrespect!"

At present, many censors have impeached Fan Chunli for using public affairs for personal gain, and handed over the public Cuju field to Li Qingzhao to hold operas.

More radical officials impeached Quju for being immoral, and openly sang about the love between Emperor Xuanzong and Concubine Yang as indecent.

In the end, Cheng Yi, the school secretary, gave Quju a fatal blow, openly impeaching Quju for using an actor to play the emperor, which is a crime of disrespect, and asked the court to ban Quju.

All of a sudden, there was an uproar between the ruling and opposition parties.

No one thought that Quju, which was in full swing, would receive the fiercest counterattack in the literary world. You must know that although the first two impeachments were serious, they would not have a great impact on Quju, and the crime of disrespect was enough to make the limelight come true. Zhengsheng's operas were destroyed.

"Master!"

Li Qingzhao was struck by lightning when he heard the news.

She didn't expect that the opera would receive such a fierce counterattack from the literary world when it came out.

Fan Zheng hugged him in his arms, and comforted him: "It's okay, with your husband here, you will definitely not be wronged. The emergence of Quju is the general trend, and no one can stop it."

Li Qingzhao emphasized that literature should not be a game for a small number of literati, but should be shared by the whole people. This is her original intention of creating Quju.

At the moment, Fan Zheng personally went to court, this time he wanted to rectify the name of Quju.
