285 - Harmony
"It doesn't matter, Li Qingzhao will definitely fail in this drama. I am familiar with history books, but I have never heard of a female general in the Song Dynasty. There is no such thing as a female general of the Yang family. It is a nonsense and nonsense." Cheng Yi coldly reprimanded road.

The disciples of Neo Confucianism nodded their heads slightly. They naturally knew the deeds of the Yang family's loyalty, and admired them extremely in their hearts. However, when the soldiers of the Song Dynasty fought on the battlefield, there was no such thing as a woman as a general.

Such an obvious loophole can be seen by anyone who is not blind.

Cheng Yi sneered and said, "This time, the old man wants to see if Li Qingzhao has anything to argue with. Not to mention the old man, even the Yang family probably won't let her go."

Tang Xuanzong and Concubine Yang belonged to the previous dynasty, and they were based on Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow". They had nothing to say about the first opera.

However, the story of the Yang family happened in this dynasty, so everyone knew it, and Li Qingzhao could not be allowed to act recklessly. Cheng Yi believed that this move would definitely arouse opposition from the government and the public, and made Li Qingzhao shoot himself in the foot.

"Master is wise!" All the disciples complimented each other.

Neo-Confucianism is rigorous in academic research, while Quju first promotes love in immorality, and then recklessly tampers with historical facts, so it is naturally tolerated by Neo-Confucianism.

Cheng Yi sneered, and suddenly asked, "Where is the invitation letter for this drama?"

The disciple couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Master, this time, Master Li did not send an invitation letter to Master!"

"what!"

Cheng Yi couldn't help being taken aback, he didn't expect that Li Qingzhao would do such a great job, that he wouldn't even send him an invitation letter.

"It's just that villains and women are hard to raise! It's just a penny, go buy a ticket!" Cheng Yi's face darkened, and he said angrily.

The disciple couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "Master, I don't know that the tickets for the opera are indeed one penny a piece, but many seats in the front row are extremely tight, causing people to snap up them, and there are even many people queuing up overnight to buy the seats in the front row and selling them to others at a higher price." things."

"So the ticket price of the opera has also been changed. The seat in the front row closest to the stage has been raised to a hundred penny, and only the farthest and most remote seat is charged a penny."

Fan Zheng also didn't expect that in order to promote the opera, he set the ticket price at one penny, which would lead to the birth of scalpers in advance, so he had no choice but to sell tickets according to the tiered prices of later generations. Even so, scalpers have not been completely banned.

"There is such a thing!" Cheng Yi frowned.

"Besides, this is the first public performance of the second drama, and the people of Kaifeng will definitely rush to see it. I'm afraid you may not be able to buy a seat in the front row for a hundred dollars." The disciple smiled wryly.

"Go buy it now! No matter how much it costs, buy me a front row seat. This time, I want to see how the nonsensical "Girls of the Yang Family" can support the righteousness of the third generation of literary schools." Cheng Yi coldly snorted.

The disciple had no choice but to rush to buy it.

However, the influence of the first public performance of the second opera was too great. Many people were already tired of watching the biography of Concubine Yang and looked forward to the second opera.

In the end, the disciple spent a lot of money to buy back a position that was not the most advanced from others, and finally met Cheng Yi's request.

The same thing was staged everywhere in Kaifeng City, and even the lowest price of one penny ticket was increased to about ten pennies, which shows how curious people are about the new operas.

........................

With much anticipation, the second drama "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" officially started.

Once again, there were huge crowds of people inside and outside the Cuju arena. This time, whether they got tickets or not, they were all looking forward to today's performance.

If this performance is successful again, then Li Qingzhao's position as the founding school will be completely stabilized, and a large number of literati will join in Quju, which will lead the third generation of literary schools.

"The Yang family is here too!"

Suddenly, the members of the Yang family were invited, which attracted everyone's attention.

The Yang family is full of loyalty and the population is thin. Although it has been multiplied for several generations, it is still difficult to prosper. This is also the reason why the Yang family gradually declined as a general.

Li Qingzhao decided to compose an opera to praise the loyal deeds of the Yang family, and the Yang family happily agreed and cooperated with all their strength.

However, when the opera came out, the original general of the Yang family turned into a female general of the Yang family, which made the Yang family feel agitated.

Now that the show is being performed for the first time, the Yang family was invited by Li Qingzhao and immediately came to find out.

As time went by, more and more seniors in the literary world were invited to come.

Those who were not invited would pay a lot of money to buy a ticket to find out, and Cheng Yi was one of them.

"The female general of the Yang family!"

Cheng Yi looked at the four big characters hanging high outside the Cuju court, and couldn't help snorting, if "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" dared to make up random things, then don't blame them and the Yang family to file a lawsuit against the court, which completely made Quju unable to turn around.

Of course, Cheng Yi has other poisonous schemes. He naturally knows that the grievances between the Yang family and the Pan family according to folklore are not fabricated. If "The Female General of the Yang Family" restores the grievances at that time, it will inevitably involve Pan Mei, and the Pan family will not tolerate it. The next drama.

"Boom boom boom!"

With the sound of exciting military drums, the stage kicked off.

The opera "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" officially started.

"In the battle between Song and Liao, Yang Ye guarded the Yanmen Pass and broke the Liao army. The power shocked the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom was afraid of Yang Ye, and planned to ambush Yang Ye. He fought hard and died..."

As the background of the female generals of the Yang family gradually unfolded, the Yang family fought against the Liao Dynasty in the north, and the seven sons of the Yang family died one after another. There are only a group of old and weak women and children left in the family.

Seeing this scene, the entire Yang family couldn't help crying. Although the female generals of the Yang family made up the story, it was absolutely true that the men of the Yang family died in battle one after another. Their Yang family had paid too much for Song Dynasty.

However, the following plot made the Yang family frowned. Xixia invaded again, the border was in a hurry, and the Song Dynasty was at stake. The old lady She of the Yang family and the third-generation wife Mu Guiying decided to personally take command and lead the army to fight against Xixia. .

"How is this possible? There is no such thing as a female expedition in Song Dynasty!"

Under the stands, many literati were talking about it. Although the Great Song Dynasty was called a weak Song Dynasty, it still had 120 million troops. There was no reason for women to go to war, and they were a group of women and children.

"Furthermore, the Yang family does not have Mrs. She and Mu Guiying. The wife of Marshal Yang Ye is Zhe, and the third wife is not Mu Guiying." A person who knew the Yang family frowned.

Everyone was discussing and watching the plot with puzzled faces.

"I see, it's a homonym! Zhe Laotaijun's surname and She are homonyms and different words." A scholar suddenly realized.

"Why do you need to do this?" Others asked puzzledly, since they are homonyms, why use different words.

The literati said with admiration on his face: "Because this drama is composed, it is impossible for Mrs. Zhe to go to the battlefield, so the incident of Mrs. She appeared, and the same is true for Mu Guiying. In this way, it can be avoided. Discussing the government's orders indiscriminately can also avoid the elders."

"Master Li really has good intentions!"

Everyone was amazed, in this way, even if there was a mistake in the opera, they could still explain to the Yang family.
