Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

Liang Shanbo later passed the exam and became a county magistrate. He came to the Zhu family with a betrothal gift, but was met with the cold stare of Zhu's mother Cui.

"Shanbo, let's run away."

"Let him go, he's Liang Shanbo!"

"Oh, what's a county magistrate? He's nothing, he has nothing to do with the gentry, he's not even a humble child from a poor family. Don't stop! Keep beating him! Beat him until he's scared!"

Many viewers saw Liang Shanbo being beaten by Zhu's servants in the rain, and they were secretly wiping tears.

The scene changed, and two rooms appeared. On one side was Zhu Yingtai, while on the other side there was no sound, only a silhouette.

The background music changed to the tense and rapid "Fake Love".

"I won't marry!"

"I won't marry? What sage book did you read that taught you to disobey your parents?"

"Why do you have to make me marry the Ma family?"

"You are ignorant. Your body and hair are given by your parents. It is the parents who decide whether your children marry or not! It is common sense. Didn't the academician of the academy teach you?"

"If I have been engaged to someone, how can I have two husbands according to common sense?"

"Engaged? No gifts, no betrothal, no family background, no family background, and you get engaged by yourself?"

Although there was no sound from the other room, the actions were almost synchronized.

Li Zhi guessed: "Next door, it should be Ma Wencai, right? Could it be that he, a man, has encountered the same problem?"

Wu Meiniang smiled and said: "Under the iron law of the gentry, no one can be spared, both men and women are no exception."

Cui Mengzhen shed turbid tears unconsciously. Once upon a time, this scene happened to him!

He felt the same way!

Pain, too much pain!

When the lights dimmed and then came back on, in the left room, Zhu's mother found Liang Shanbo, and in the right room, Zhu Yingtai was locked in the room, smiling and looking at the outside world.

This special performance style formed a strong contrast, bringing visual and psychological impact to the audience.

"I hope you can write a letter to Yingtai to show that you are more open-minded than just a child's love affair."

"I can't write."

"You won't write?" Zhu's mother stepped forward, "Do you think that anger can change your fate with Yingtai? Do you think that if you are very dissatisfied, the Hu people will tolerate the Han people in the south? If you want to blame someone, blame you for being born in the wrong place, born in a humble and poor family, born in this time when our Han Dynasty is declining, everyone is so hypocritical, pedantic and snobbish."

"If you want to hate someone, hate that there is no hero standing up to rule the entire Central Plains and let the world enjoy the equality that they deserve."

"If you want to blame someone, you should blame you for having too many ideas. You are so young and ignorant that you think you can change everyone around you just because you don't like them. You think you can change this era by relying on the two of you!"

Deafening!

This line made all the audience's hearts suddenly clench.

The older generation couldn't help but think of the time when the Five Barbarians invaded China, which was a cruel and inhumane era.

Fortunately, the Sui Dynasty stood up to repel the Hu people, and fortunately, the Li Tang family overthrew the violent Sui Dynasty and finally ushered in the Zhenguan Reign.

However, now that the world is peaceful, are the scholars and common people really equal?

Li Zhi nodded: "This line is well said." He felt very comfortable. After all, the plot in the play took place in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. What does it have to do with my Tang Dynasty?

Song Zhen also praised the Li Tang family in a subtle way.

When Liang Shanbo was writing a letter, he suddenly vomited blood, and the whole audience exclaimed.

Even the clansmen of the Five Surnames and Seven Families, I don’t know when, were brought into the plot and moved by the bitter love between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

Damn, what about the sweetest drama in the Tang Dynasty? Are you kidding me?

The scene changed, and there were still two rooms. Liang Shanbo was lying weakly on the bed in the left room, and Zhu Yingtai was smiling in the right room, imagining what she would look like when she saw her lover in the future.

However...

"No matter how hard it is, I have to hold on. I haven't seen Yingtai yet."

"I must see Yingtai..." Liang Shanbo's head dropped.

On the other side, Zhu's mother handed the blood letter to Zhu Yingtai. She opened it and was immediately overwhelmed with grief.

She kept banging on the window in the right room, crying: "Shanbo! Shanbo! Shanbo!"

On the bed opposite the window, Liang Shanbo died with his eyes open.

On one side, there is a helpless survival, and on the other side, there is an unwilling death, such a sharp contrast.

This scene was really unbearable, and Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang wiped their eyes with handkerchiefs.

"This performance is really unique. In our view, the two are only separated by a wall, close at hand, but in their world, they are already separated by heaven and earth."

The most unbearable thing is the sudden sound of suona at this time.

This is the chorus of "囍" played by Song Zhen in the backstagepart.

Suona is truly the king of musical instruments, either ascending to heaven or descending to earth.

"Alang, Miss, you can't put on the gouache."

"Take my gouache and put it on, as thick as you can, it can cover everything and make it white and plump."

The audience felt extremely ironic when they heard this.

At this time, the sad version of "Liang Zhu" played by Erhu sounded again in the backstage. It was different from the tune played by Zheng in the first scene, and this time it directly made the audience burst into tears.

......

The play "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" ended with the music of "Liang Zhu" throughout the play.

No one stood up and applauded, because their brains were still down.

The shock brought to them by this play was really too great.

It turned out that it was not Ma Wencai who killed Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, but this damn system of no marriage between scholars and commoners.

This is a story that happened in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Isn't there a similar tragedy happening now?

As Master Song said, fish originally come from rivers and seas, and there should be no ponds in the world.

It was the nobles who caused this human tragedy for the sake of family interests!

After an unknown amount of time, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang stood up and applauded first, and other ministers followed suit.

On the way back to the palace, Li Zhi smiled slightly: "Tomorrow, there should be another good show to watch."

"Oh? Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Wu Meiniang asked knowingly.

"In Song Zhen's play, the great families despised the children of poor families so vividly, but isn't this the truth? What do you think those scholars would think?"

Wu Meiniang smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth: "When the time comes, Your Majesty will announce the political review system to the world, which will undoubtedly put the five surnames and seven families on the fire. Will they save them or not?"

Li Zhi snorted contemptuously: "They can't be saved."

"Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" was performed in Pingkangfang for a week, and the number of viewers was so large that it was difficult to count.

Even the cunning Song Zhen used the tactic of giving the children of poor families half the price, which was to leave no chance for the Five Surnames and Seven Famous families.

After watching this, many children of poor families could not help but put themselves in Liang Shanbo's shoes, and their attitude towards the Five Surnames and Seven Famous families changed.

Yes, throughout history, which women of the Five Surnames and Seven Famous families have ever married poor families?

Tell me, which family?

They just regarded us as cannon fodder. No matter how much we did, we were not qualified to enter their homes.

The Five Surnames and Seven Famous families panicked, and the public opinion was a bit turbulent.

Worse things are still to come.

There were more than a thousand young people from the Five Surnames and Seven Famous families, led by Cui Mengzhen, who announced their withdrawal from the family at the same time.

No matter how the elders of the family tried to stop them, these young people were determined to leave! They couldn't stop them!

They saw their own shadows in Zhu Yingtai.

It's better not to stay in such a corrupt family! Anyway, I'm an adult and have the ability to be self-reliant.

Song Zhen's play aroused their hidden desires. They longed for freedom, not only freedom of marriage, but also other freedoms!

And this time, it was their silent resistance to fate.

Finally, the big one was coming.

The court suddenly announced that all the scholars who had participated in the riots in Huichunfang in the past were recorded and would never be allowed to register for the imperial examinations in this life.

Those who did not participate patted their chests and celebrated, while those who participated regretted it.

Almost all scholars did not resent the court. After all, the proportion of those who participated in the riots was not large. Anyone who had complaints about the court would be immediately ridiculed by everyone.

Isn't this what you deserve? Do you have to be a licking dog of the Five Surnames and Seven Families?

The Five Surnames and Seven Families held an emergency meeting.

The elders of the Boling Cui family were the first to attack: "Cui Yu! It's all your fault!"

The elders of the Qinghe Cui family were dissatisfied: "How can it be my fault?"

Longxi Li family: "If your family accepted Song Zhen at that time, how could there be any subsequent events?"

Zhaojun Li family: "Now it is said that Song Zhen is Liang Shanbo of the Tang Dynasty, and Cui Mengzhu is Zhu Yingtai of the Tang Dynasty. Cui Yu, give me a straight answer now, do you want them to be together or not?"
