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

Chapter 282 Fan Zheng protects his wife
In the vertical arch hall!Hundreds of officials gathered!
The civil and military officials looked at Fan Zheng complicatedly. The purpose of Fan Zheng's court was to defend Li Qingzhao's opera.

Being able to obtain fame is a person in the literary world, and he is naturally proficient in poetry and poetry. However, Li Qingzhao's feat of founding a school made them amazed.

As people in the literary world, they naturally know the meaning of the third generation of literary genres, which is the glory that makes the world's literati go crazy, and now it is created by a woman, how can they convince them, and now they unanimously start to slander and impeach Opera.

"Fan Taicheng, everyone, Li really...?"

On the throne, Zhao Xu had just ascended to court, and he couldn't help asking curiously when he saw Fan Zheng.

Quju is a public performance, so it's not safe to have a lot of people. Zhao Xu didn't go to the scene in person, but it doesn't mean that Zhao Xu doesn't know the influence of Quju.

Fan Zhengzheng nodded and said: "I dare not lie to the officials. Once the opera is released, it is not inferior to Tang poetry and Song Ci in terms of artistic form and popularity. It is suitable for the third generation of literary schools."

"Really?" Zhao Xu couldn't help exclaiming.

Fan Zheng nodded and said, "Tang poetry and Song poetry can only be enjoyed by those who can read and write, but operas are directly sung by professional artists, enough to cover [-]% of the world's illiterate people, it can be said to be appreciated by both refined and popular."

At the moment, Fan Zheng introduced the advantages of Quju one by one.

Zhao Xu couldn't help nodding his head. Once such a opera comes out, it will definitely attract countless people and become a part of the citizens' lives. After all, it is impossible for people in the world to recite poems every day, but they can listen to operas every day.

"Reporting to the officials, Quju is still controversial, today's court meeting is to discuss this matter." Lu Dafang reminded.

Only then did Zhao Xu put away his curiosity, and sat upright and said, "Fan Taicheng, regarding the impeachment of the officials, what can you say to defend everyone Li?"

Although the impeachment was Li Qingzhao's drama, everyone knew that Fan Zheng was here to defend Li Qingzhao.

Fan Zheng stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "I would like to inform the officials that the impeachment of the officials is nothing more than the jealousy of a villain. They cannot accept that their wife, as a woman, has gained the reputation of founding a sect."

As soon as Fan Zheng's words came out, a trace of shame appeared on the faces of many officials. They collectively impeached Li Qingzhao's Quju, not without such intentions.

Censor Yang Wei sneered and said: "It's nonsense! Shanghe Garden is a park, and it came from the doctor's method of healing the city. I think Mr. Fan should know better than anyone else that the Cuju field is a public place, how can it be privately used?" No, Li and everyone occupy the Cuju field continuously, so why not use it for private use.”

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "Master Yang is really selfless, but he doesn't know the inside story. Quju indeed occupied the Cuju field, not forcibly occupying it, but renting it! I rent the Cuju field at the price of a day's money."

Fan Chunchun, the Minister of the Household Department, came out and said: "Report to the government, the construction of the park is expensive. In order to balance the income and expenditure, Kaifeng government plans to rent out the Cuju field and allow the Cuju team to collect tickets for profit. This matter has been reported to the Household Department. Approved, the lease of the Cuju venue for Quju is just a pilot project!"

Fan Chunchun came forward in person, although it was for the lease of the Cuju field, the bigger reason was to show that the Fan family wanted to support Li Qingzhao.

As the daughter-in-law of the Fan family, Li Qingzhao founded the third generation of literary schools, which is the glory of the Fan family for generations.

A lot of officials nodded slightly. One guan a day, 360 guan a month, and [-] guan a year. This is not a small sum.

Cai Jing, who is also the Minister of the Household Department, frowned and said, "Although it is said that Mr. Li paid for the lease, the Cuju Field is a public place after all. Wouldn't it be extremely inappropriate if it was always occupied by operas?"

Fan Zheng took a deep look at Cai Jing and said: "What Master Cai said is true. In fact, the Cuju field is too empty and not suitable for opera performances. Now my wife is planning to buy a teahouse as an opera theater. It is now being remodeled. Occupy the Cuju field for too long.

Cai Jing nodded, and did not pursue this matter fiercely. After all, his wife and Li Qingzhao are cousins, and it is not appropriate to tear face.

"Reporting to the officials, Quju's appointment of a group of brothel women is to openly promote the relationship between men and women. It is really indecent, please strictly prohibit it!" Yang Wei said bluntly.

Some old party ministers also echoed. Their old-fashioned thinking, coupled with Li Shishi's status as a former brothel, openly publicized the love between Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, which made them extremely uncomfortable.

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "Although Li Shishi was born in a brothel, she is a good one. Moreover, she saved countless people when she was a nurse in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. She has a very kind heart. How can she be the same as an ordinary brothel singer?"

Li Qingzhao gave up the brothel singer and chose Li Shishi to play the role of Concubine Yang is the most correct choice. Among literati, listening to music in Goulan is considered vulgar. Immediately, the taste of Quju was raised a bit.

Everyone in the old party frowned. Although Li Shishi was born in a brothel, his medical background and qualifications instantly smoothed out these flaws. Instead, he was praised for his miserable life experience and current achievements.

"Besides, "The Biography of Concubine Yang" is implicitly included in Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow". If the opera is indecent, wouldn't it mean that Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" is also indecent, but all poems describing love are also indecent. If according to this According to the standard, half of Tang poetry and Song poetry must be banned." Fan Zheng retorted.

"Uh!"

The old party was suddenly speechless. There are countless Tang poems and Song poems describing love. If this standard is followed, half of the Tang poems and Song poems will probably be cut off.

Cheng Yi sneered and said: "Describing love is nothing, but the love between Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Concubine Yang Guifei in Quju Opera, the actors openly play the emperor on the stage, wearing dragon robes and crowns, this is a crime of disrespect." .”

"However, how can a dragon robe be worn by actors and actresses? Once it is used by bad people to do evil, it will inevitably lead to catastrophe. "Biography of Concubine Yang" must be banned." Lu Dafang said staidly.

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty nodded one after another. This is related to the reputation of the emperor. If other people wear dragon robes, they will definitely be regarded as a crime of treason. Letting a lowly actor play the emperor, although everyone knows that he is pretending, But in case of trouble, it will damage the emperor's reputation.

All of a sudden, all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty crusade against Quju one after another.

Baiguan knew in his heart that all the previous impeachments seemed menacing, but in fact they were harmless at all, and only the crime of disrespect was the fatal blow.

After all, as an emperor, the most important thing is the imperial power. Once the world gets involved, the emperors will also protect each other.

The best example is that the emperors of the current dynasty will tacitly protect the imperial tombs of the previous dynasty. After all, they do not want their imperial tombs to be destroyed by future generations.

Sure enough, Zhao Xu's face was solemn. Although he valued Fan Zheng, he was very cautious when it was related to the imperial power.

Seeing this, Cheng Yi couldn't help showing a sneer. Once the court banned "The Biography of Concubine Yang", it would definitely bring disaster to the newly emerging operas. Naturally, there would be no such thing as Li Qingzhao's theory of establishing a school and the third generation of literary schools.

"Hahaha! Fan didn't expect that you would use such vicious ideas to suppress Quju. It really took so much pains." Facing the siege of officials, Fan Zheng smiled instead of anger.

Cheng Yi said in a deep voice: "Fan Zheng, we are not people who are jealous of the virtuous and capable, deliberately suppressing Quju. This matter is related to the dignity of the emperor and we must be careful."

"Furthermore, we will have a public discussion in the courtroom today. Preventing problems before they happen can be regarded as protecting everyone Li. It is better than causing a catastrophe and liquidating Quju in the future." Lu Dafang said loudly.

Su Shi sighed helplessly. Although the two were suspected of suppressing Quju, their words were not unreasonable.

If the government minds folk actors playing the emperor, it will be a disaster in the future, it is better to set the rules as soon as possible, so as not to settle accounts in the future.

Zhao Xu frowned in thought, his heart wavering.

Seeing this, Fan Zheng said loudly: "Although there are actors playing the emperor in "The Legend of Concubine Yang", there are not many roles in it. Even if Tang Xuanzong's role is deleted, this drama is still quite exciting. Even if playing the emperor is banned in the future, Quju will still not Disappear, at most there will be more love scenes."

Cheng Yi frowned slightly. He had to admit that the protagonist of Concubine Yang's biography was Concubine Yang. Although Tang Xuanzong was lost, the excellence of Quju could not be concealed.

Fan Zheng said proudly: "But the role of Quju is far more than love and love. It is also of great use to the court. It is not that Quju needs to play the emperor, but the court needs Quju to play the emperor."

"It's nonsense! How can the majesty of the emperor be desecrated by actors and actresses." Cheng Yi scolded angrily.

Even Zhao Xu frowned, looking at Fan Zheng with scrutiny, waiting for Fan Zheng to give him a satisfactory answer.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "The reason why Quju calls itself the third-generation literary genre is because it can be said to be more liberal than Tang poetry and Song Ci. , the imperial court can compile the stories of the loyal generals of the Yang family into operas, and spread them widely in the army and among the people, which will definitely inspire the soldiers and fight against foreign enemies together."

"General Yang!"

All the officials in the Manchu Dynasty could not help but gasp. They naturally knew the tragic deeds of the Yang family. The Yang family fought against the Liao Kingdom in the north. It can be said that the whole family was killed and injured, leaving only a group of old and weak women and children. This is the most loyal general of the Song Dynasty.

"The people need justice. The court can compile the story of Bao Zheng and Bao Qingtian into a opera and spread it widely among the people. It can not only spread justice among the people, but also deter corrupt officials." Fan Zheng said again.

"Bao Zheng Bao Qingtian!"

Zhao Xu's heart moved, Bao Zheng was a famous minister of the Renzong Dynasty. During his tenure as the magistrate of Kaifeng, he was upright and upright.

"If Quju is used well, it can make great contributions to the court, promote loyalty to the emperor and patriotism for the people of the world, set an example for civil and military officials, and promote the wisdom and martial arts of officials. However, these two operas require actors to play the role of the emperor. Is it because A little bit of taboo will let Quju be shelved!" Fan Zheng looked around and asked.

Zhao Xu's heart was shocked. According to Fan Zheng's vision, Quju would have great potential.

But now that the Song Dynasty reform is in the ascendant, there are strong enemies outside and worries inside, it can be said that walking on thin ice, if we can use opera to inspire the morale of the army and stabilize the government, it will be a great help. In contrast, the so-called illusory disrespect It seemed insignificant.

All officials in the court also frowned. With the horror spreading power of opera, the audiences are from high-ranking officials and aristocrats, down to common people. If we can publicize the court, it may get unexpected results.

Seeing the drastic change in the direction of the wind, Cheng Yi quickly objected: "The influence of Quju is too great. If there is a mistake, the harm will be unbearable."

Many cautious officials nodded slightly. If someone pretended to be an emperor and bluffed, he would probably become a big laughing stock.

Fan Zhengdao: "It's okay! You only need to make an agreement in three chapters."

Zhao Xu became interested and asked, "Tell me, how to make a three-chapter agreement!"

Fan Zheng explained: "First, although an actor plays the role of the emperor, it is only limited to the stage, and the role of the former emperor cannot involve the current dynasty; the role of the current emperor cannot discuss political affairs; The emperor of this dynasty."

Zhao Xu nodded slightly. The fact that he did not discuss political affairs indiscriminately made him let go of a lot of guards. In addition, Tang Xuanzong was the emperor of the previous dynasty. He appeared in various literary works, and there is nothing wrong with performing in operas. .

"Secondly, there must be a distinction in terms of attire. Actors can only wear boa robes. Dragon hats, jade belts, and court beads must also be different. Among them, court beads cannot have east beads." Fan Zheng said again.

The officials nodded slightly, the python robe and the dragon robe are naturally very different, it is not considered disrespectful for an actor to wear a python robe, and the two are easy to distinguish, so people will not be easily deceived.

"Finally, Quju is actively sung, because the libretto must also be distinguished. You cannot directly call the emperor's name and title. If necessary, use homonyms instead. Officials who call themselves "zhen" need to avoid taboos. widow."

Fan Zheng used three chapters to make a great distinction between the emperor played by the actors in the opera and the real emperor, so that people can distinguish them at a glance, so as to dispel the vigilance of the court.

"Do you think this strategy is feasible?" Zhao Xu asked.

Su Shi supported without hesitation: "I agree!"

Although an actor plays the role of an emperor, not only is the dragon robe downgraded to a boa robe, which is not considered a crime, but as early as the Qin Dynasty, "solitary" and "widowed people" were abolished as emperors, and they happened to be used in acting.

Moreover, Li Qingzhao is a member of the Su Clan after all. He founded the sect and created the third generation of literary schools, and the Su Clan will flourish because of this.

"The ministers also agree."

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty also nodded slightly. The operas are of great benefit to the court's publicity and enlightenment. In addition, Fan Zheng's three chapters of the contract have avoided the hidden danger of disrespect, so they have nothing to say.

Soon both the new party and the old party died down. After all, Quju was created by Li Qingzhao, and they persecuted too much. They might be suspected of bullying women, and they would really hate Fan Zheng.

Cheng Yi opened his mouth, but found that he was helpless and could only sigh bitterly.

"Preliminary"

Zhao Xu is kind and respectful.

"Thank you, the official!"

Fan Zheng solemnly thanked him and said that if he knew that when Yuan opera was popular in later generations, imperial dramas occupied almost half of the country. If Zhao Xu hadn't been enlightened and restricted the performance of emperors in operas, the prosperity of operas would be greatly frustrated. Now, there will be no obstacles to the prosperity of operas .
