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

Chapter 289 "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Chest in Anger"

"Wang Shen, how dare you do that!"

When Fan Zheng heard the news brought by Yang Jie, he couldn't help being furious.

He originally thought that after Li Shishi returned to the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine, just like most teenagers' love, with the passage of time, this matter would become ordinary.

However, no one thought that Wang Shen would take the initiative to come forward, and in order to please Zhao Ji, he would force Li Shishi to be Zhao Ji's concubine.

Suddenly, Su Dun came in a hurry and said angrily: "Brother Fan, something is wrong. Wang Shen is spreading the word in the literary world that Mr. Li has a deep heart. The so-called unwillingness to be a concubine is just to seduce the young King Duan in an attempt to make him spoil his concubine and kill his wife." That's all!"

"What nonsense!"

When Yang Jie heard Wang Shen's slander out of thin air, his face turned ashen.

Fan Zheng stood up suddenly, frowned and said, "Wang Shen is such a vicious scheme!"

Li Shishi was born in a brothel. Although he joined the medical school, the prejudice of the world still exists.

But Duan Wang Zhao Ji was the king of the dynasty, and Li Shishi married Zhao Ji as his concubine. No matter who saw it, he was Li Shishi's superior.

However, Li Shishi claimed that he did not want to be a concubine. In the era of the supremacy of imperial power, he was quite ignorant of flattery or had ulterior motives. As soon as the news came out, he was immediately criticized by everyone.

Su Dun said with a serious face: "Wang Shen is a villain at first, but he just relied on his good skin. The eldest princess of Shangshu Kingdom should be grateful to Dade, but he doesn't know how to indulge the concubine to bully the princess."

Everyone in Kaifeng City knew about Wang Shen's bastard past, so Su Dun naturally knew it well.

"Now he seems to be standing up for Zhao Ji, but he is actually looking for a backer for himself!" Fan Zheng snorted coldly, he could see through Wang Shen's intentions at a glance, and all his righteous words were just to increase his presence in the royal family.

Wang Shen's despicable behavior of taking the happiness of a doctor's family for his own gain made Fan Zheng furious.

"The most urgent thing is to return Shishi's innocence!" Yang Jie said anxiously.

"Wang Shen has a good relationship with Su Clan, why don't we invite the Grand Master Su to come forward to reconcile?" Li Qingzhao frowned.

"This strategy works!"

Yang Jie's eyes lit up, this is also a method.

But Fan Zheng shook his head, took a deep breath and said, "People's words are terrible! Even if you ask Grand Master Su to come forward, you can't restore Miss Teacher's innocence."

"Then what should we do?" Su Dun also sighed.

Fan Zheng smiled coldly and said, "It's okay, "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger" can be staged. Once this play comes out, I think the world will understand Li Shishi's choice, and Wang Shen's slander will be self-defeating."

""Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Chest in Anger"!"

Yang Jie and Su Dun couldn't help being taken aback, and looked at Fan Zheng in surprise, they didn't know the existence of this play before.

Fan Zheng roughly explained the content of this "Quju" to the two, and the two immediately turned from worry to joy.

Wang Shen used Li Shishi's status as a former brothel to slander her, and "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger" shows the world the stamina of a brothel woman.

"Okay! Use this method to fight back."

Immediately, the two of them agreed one after another. They were both vigorous young people, so naturally they were not used to Wang Shen's slander.

Su Dun's heart moved and he said: "Su thinks that this opera will have the best effect if Miss Shi Shi herself plays the role!"

Yang Jie frowned, Li Shishi has returned to the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine to work as a nurse, so it is impossible to come out to sing operas again.

Fan Zheng persuaded: "Wang Shen is slandering Miss Shi Shi's innocence. Naturally, Miss Shi Shi has to prove it herself, which is the most powerful counterattack. You can ask Miss Shi Shi in person to see if she is willing to come back again."

Yang Jie nodded slightly.

Sure enough, when Li Shishi learned about this, she agreed without hesitation. This time, she not only wanted to prove her innocence, but also wanted to expose to the world the illusion of being a prostitute and a beautiful woman in a brothel.

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

"Li Shishi is back with a new drama "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger", which will be staged in five days!"

Soon, another piece of news from Liyuan spread, which once again caused a sensation in Kaifeng City.

"Master Li is back again?"

Many people were shocked when they heard the news. Li Shishi is the original singer of the opera, both in appearance and singing skills.

After he withdrew from the opera, although his replacement had extraordinary singing skills, he was slightly inferior to Li Shishi by three points, not to mention that this time Li Shishi came back with a new play.

"Hahaha! Let me say that Li Shishi is deeply scheming and greedy for fame and fortune. Sure enough, he just returned to the Chinese Medicine Hospital as a female nurse for a few days, but he couldn't stand the poverty and hard work, and couldn't wait to come back." A scholar sneered.

"Sure enough, the king's son-in-law didn't wrong Li Shishi. This woman's so-called unwillingness to be a concubine is probably a deliberate attempt to manipulate His Highness Duan Wang. Seeing that His Royal Highness Duan is young, he wants to be a concubine because of his beauty. It is simply ignorant." A student said contemptuously.

With his status as an imperial student, he has no chance to be with Li Shishi at all, but now the more he steps down Li Shishi, the more deformed pleasure he feels in his heart.

Many of Li Shishi's admirers couldn't help sighing. Once upon a time, they were full of praise for Li Shishi's brave retreat and returning to the Chinese Medicine Hospital to work as a nurse.

However, Wang Shen first slandered Li Shishi by saying that he lured His Royal Highness Duan Wang to capture him, and now Li Shishi has come back again, and even they have doubted Li Shishi's character.

Under the hot discussion in the whole city, the third drama "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger" instantly became the focus of the whole city.

Five days is coming soon.

Today, the day of Li Shishi's comeback, is also the first performance of "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger". Coupled with the turmoil between Li Shishi and Zhao Ji, the Liyuan is once again overcrowded.

"when!"

With the sound of a gong, the curtain opened.

Sure enough, Li Shishi's graceful and moving figure appeared on the stage.

"It really is Miss Shi Shi!"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, when Li Shishi announced his withdrawal from the opera, countless people regretted it, but now that Li Shishi appeared on the stage again, everyone had mixed feelings.

"This time Li Shishi turned out to be acting in his true colors, playing the role of a brothel girl!" With the development of the plot, the admiring audience couldn't help exclaiming.

I saw that on the stage, Li Shishi played Du Shiniang, who was the courtesan of Kaifeng. She greeted her every day, forced her face to smile, and longed to get out of the sea of ​​suffering and meet her lover, until one day she met a person she liked, Li Jia, an imperial student. , the two men are talented and beautiful, and they fall in love with each other.

"It's common for brothel women to love literati."

Under the stands, a group of literati couldn't help showing complacent expressions. Obviously, they all had the same experience.

With the development of the plot, Du Shiniang loves Li Jia's honesty and honesty, and agrees with her mother to redeem her body with 150 gold. Li Jia is a poor student of the imperial court and has nowhere to borrow money. Du Shiniang decides to take out [-] gold from the treasure chest to help. , and with the help of their friends, they finally got together three hundred catties. The two of them took the "treasure box" home, and all the sisters presented treasures to each other.

"The man is affectionate, the concubine is interested, the gifted scholar and the beautiful woman are blessed by God, it is really gratifying and congratulatory!"

Seeing this scene, many romantic talents couldn't help clapping their hands and applauding. This scene was a good thing they dreamed of, and it was actually done by a dull Li Jia.

"Du Shiniang is willing to marry a good man, could it be that Li Shishi is planning to show his aspirations to King Duan with his song!" Someone also speculated.

It immediately attracted the approval of many people. After all, if any woman in the world chooses, she will also choose His Highness Duanwang.

"Teacher!"

In the Liyuan box, Zhao Ji looked at Li Shishi on the stage with hot eyes. Such a happy ending is not what he wanted in his heart!

"It can't be that simple!"

Under the stands, some literati looked solemn. The name of the play "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Chest in Anger", if everyone is really happy, how could there be such a thing as sinking the Treasure Chest in anger.

Sure enough, when they were returning home by boat, Du Shiniang played the piano and sang, which alarmed Sun Fu, a salt merchant on the neighboring boat.Sun Fu coveted Du Shiniang's beauty and found an excuse to drink with Li Jia. Li Jia was worried that he would be scolded by his parents for bringing a brothel girl home. Under Sun Fu's coaxing, he sold Du Shiniang to her for a thousand dollars.

"what!"

Suddenly there was an uproar in the audience.

"It's shameless! Du Shiniang entrusted her body and mind to Li Jia, but Li Jia broke his promise."

"Li Jia is a hypocrite who has failed Du Shiniang's sincerity.

"Sun Fu is a despicable villain, insidious and cunning! He is greedy for the beauty of Ten Niang."

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

In the troupe, the audience was filled with righteous indignation, Du Shiniang had a deep affection for Li Jia, and even took the initiative to give half of the money to let him redeem himself, but now she was abandoned by Li Jia and sold it.

"It's just a opera, and it's not a real thing. Why is it here?" Some people smiled and said disapprovingly.

"No! This is not just a opera, but something that actually happened around us." A scholar sneered.

Everyone couldn't help being taken aback, and then saw the embarrassing faces of many veterans in the literary circle around them.

"You're talking about the gift of a singer from the literary world!"

The people around were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that there is a custom in the Song Dynasty literary world, that is to give singers to each other.

According to legend, even the great scholar Su gave away all the singers around him to others when he was demoted. This kind of custom is extremely prevalent in Kaifeng City.

"Li Qingzhao really has a poisonous tongue, and directly scolded the entire Kaifeng literary world!" A group of literati gasped, and immediately understood the power of this opera.

Once upon a time, Li Qingzhao was just making vicious comments on the poems of the elders in the literary world, but now "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger", it can be said that the entire literary world has been scolded all over.

Soon, "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger" reached the most exciting part.

Du Shiniang deeply felt the humiliation of her personality. On the bow of the boat, she opened the treasure chest in public and threw the valuable purple jade, gold and silver antiques into the river one by one. Then she threw the treasure chest into the river and died.

"What a strange woman!"

Everyone admired.

At this moment, Li Shishi is completely brought into Du Shiniang. She is also a brothel girl, and she also meets her beloved.

In order to be good, Du Shiniang credulously believed in Li Jia, and finally died with hatred. However, Li Shishi refused a prince's love and returned to a Chinese medicine hospital as a nurse. Isn't it not the great wisdom of life.

In the box, Zhao Ji watched this scene with an embarrassed expression.

Li Jia on the stage is not a true portrayal of him, he is a relative of the emperor, and the royal family cannot tolerate Li Shishi who was born in a brothel.

If he forcibly takes Li Shishi as his concubine, I'm afraid Li Shishi's fate will not be much better than Du Shiniang's.

"I'm Li Jia?" Zhao Ji was speechless.

As the opera came to an end, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts. Some complained about Du Shiniang, while others scolded Li Jiasun Fu through gritted teeth.

There were also people who looked at the old literary elders in front of them with strange eyes, because this opera vividly showed the scandal of giving concubines to each other in the literary world of the Song Dynasty, which made them lose face.

Almost instantly, the public opinion in Kaifeng City reversed again,
But at this moment, no one accused Li Shishi of refusing His Royal Highness Duan Wang because he didn't know good from bad. After all, compared with Du Shiniang's experience, Li Shishi's choice can be said to be very wise, and it is even more courageous that ordinary women do not have. more admiration.

At the end of the play, everyone left one after another. Even Zhao Ji didn't have the courage to find Li Shishi at this moment, but left in despair.

But in Kaifeng City, the influence of "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger" continued to expand, almost exceeding everyone's expectations.

This song was spread all over the brothel at the first time, and instantly aroused the sympathy of countless brothel women. The status of brothel women has always been extremely low. Countless women dream of meeting a beloved man and marrying him as a wife, but they are repeatedly deceived , the end was extremely miserable.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a talented man named Li Yi, who was one of the representatives. He abandoned Huo Xiaoyu, a brothel woman, and finally made Huo Xiaoyu die of hatred.

The custom of giving concubines to each other appeared again in the literary world of the Song Dynasty. This opera can be said to show the tragic end of the brothel women in the Tang and Song Dynasties one by one.

At the same time, talented scholars no longer receive the treatment of being guests of honor in the brothel, but instead welcome the disregard of all the women in the brothel.

The custom of gifting concubines to each other in the Kaifeng literary world was even cleared up, and the literati who had done this behavior were disgraced and their reputations were discredited.

"This is the real role of Quju, enough to influence the world." Seeing the influence of "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger", Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Li Qingzhao also looked at this scene in shock. Whether it was "The Legend of Concubine Yang" or "The General of the Yang Family" before, it was just to promote the beauty of love and loyalty.

As soon as the ironic "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger" came out, Li Qingzhao suddenly realized that perhaps irony and tragedy are more vigilant, and this is the meaning of opera.

"The matter about Miss Shishi!" Li Qingzhao asked.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The matter is so big that it has alarmed the royal family, and now His Royal Highness Duan Wang has been grounded by the royal family!"

In fact, Fan Zheng did not tell the specific facts. Zhao Ji was indeed weak. Facing the pressure from the royal family, Zhao Ji immediately decided to sever all ties with Li Shishi, and would only marry the daughter of the Wang family.

"Then Wang Shen?" Li Qingzhao asked worriedly.

"Wang Shen is nothing to be afraid of. As a husband, I have asked His Royal Highness King Shen to mediate on my behalf!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Only then did Li Qingzhao heave a sigh of relief. Wang Shen has the identity of the son-in-law and captain.
