Chapter 302 Mid-Autumn Festival, Lyrics, Unsolved Cases
During the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, just after dawn, the city of Tokyo became lively.

Walking along the street, the shops on both sides are hung with flower heads, and some of the more exquisite ones have repainted the storefronts, giving them a brand new look.

Whenever there is a wine shop, they put the jars and jars in front of the door, and pick up the wine flag with the word "drunk fairy", even places like Fanlou, Rendian, Panlou, Gaoyangzhengdian and so on are no exception.

On this day, Tokyo City sells new wine, and it will be sold out before noon. Then the small shop will put down the wine curtain, stop doing business, and go home to celebrate the festival. Large shops such as Fanlou will open their doors and add tables in the lobby It's the best day of the year for business.

From the palace to the common people, there will be banquets at home, no matter how extravagant or humble, if you organize a family banquet and reunite your children, you don't want to let down such a good time.

Even poor people living in back alleys will try their best to buy some drinks and go home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. They would rather risk the risk of having no money to buy food and starve than to waste this day and night.

Qin Wang's mansion has already prepared all kinds of festive things, especially wine. There are so many kinds of them that you can almost have everything you need, but most of these are not paid for.

Drinking alcohol was common in the Song Dynasty, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, men and women also drank alcohol. Li Qingzhao, a layman in Yi'an, wrote such words as "heavy sleep can't get rid of residual wine", "drunkness doesn't know the way back".

Li Qingzhao's father is Li Gefei, who was born as a Jinshi. The granddaughter of the leader Wang Gongchen.

The whole family is all members of the Yuanyou party, and they are still relatives with Qin Hui.

Qin Hui's wife is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Yuanfeng Wang Gui, and Li Qingzhao is Wang Gui's granddaughter. They are very close relatives. She and Wang are cousins.

Zhao Tun wrote an article a few years ago criticizing Li Qingzhao, saying that although his words were eloquent, he "only knows how to drink and gamble", which ruined the family atmosphere and damaged the reputation of the literary world.

Li Qingzhao wrote words to fight back, his words were sharp, and he pressed every step of the way, hitting the key point.

Zhao Tama was invincible, so he had no choice but to say that men should not fight women, and young men should not fight old men, so let it go.

This young man does not compete with the old, it is really Li Qingzhao who has too many elders and Zhao Tong, and he is already thirty-six this year.

However, this is a matter of the literary world, and has nothing to do with the background and identity. It only depends on the reputation and status of the literary world. It has been like this since ancient times.

Because I don't have enough reputation in the literary world, I don't even have the qualifications to write and scold these two people.

Just a while ago, Zhao Tun got angry after beating Qin Hui, and filled in a word to ridicule Li Qingzhao, saying that there are no descendants of a famous family, and that one generation is not as good as the next.

Li Qingzhao didn't fight back this time, but just wrote a self-deprecating song. With her supercilious temperament, this was already a slight bow.

Zhao Tun couldn't help feeling complacent for a while.

At this moment, the stage and platform in Prince Qin's mansion have been set up.

The stage is large, covered in red and colorful, and the people in the back team are putting on makeup and changing clothes, and they are about to perform on stage.

The operas of the Song Dynasty are actually Zaju, consisting of various songs and dances, main repertoires and miscellaneous plays, of which only the repertoire is the main opera.

During the performance, a small song and dance section with five characters will be performed first, which is called "Yan Duan", and then "Zaju" will be performed.

Song Zaju inherits the military dramas and song and dance dramas of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, absorbs folk art, songs and music on this basis, and plays rap stories in Qiyuan dramas, opening up the mainstream narrative of main dramas.

The stage is being prepared on this side, and the tables and chairs are already being arranged on the other side. There is only one chair with a round table in front, which is naturally for Zhao Tun, and Lin Lin and others are lined up with a hundred or so people behind, and the extra is for Suiyulou.

Suiyu Building is almost full of homeless people, originally there were more, but some were sent out by Zhao Tong, now there are only a few dozen left, Zhao Tong ordered the store to be closed early in the morning, and they all came to the house for the festival.

At this time, just after breakfast, the mansion is very lively, not only the people in Suiyulou have seats, but also those who have positions in the mansion have their seats.

Zhao Tong changed into a new robe, came to the front of the stage after the announcement, everyone said hello together, he sat down and looked back, Da Song didn't have many rules about the dignity of men and women at the moment, but the female relatives behind him were at the head.

Xiaoniang, Jian Suyi, and Qi Hongyu were all present, and Qi Hongyu brought Zhao Pan'er with her. I think the tea shop will be closed today.

He took a few glances at the playlist, and shook his head slightly. Zaju is Zaju, and there are not many serious ones. It has been like this since Tang Dynasty. Faqu, Qupo, Zhugong tunes, Ci tunes, etc. are often "one palace to the end" and "one rhyme to the end".

In fact, no matter the song or the lyrics, they all inherit from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and there are many similarities, so they must be filled in according to the fixed format of the rhythm.

But the song is more lively, and the number of words can be added under a special rhythm, so the number of words may not necessarily be the same when filling in the music according to the number.

The words are fixed in the grid, and words cannot be added, but one or two more words can be filled in the special grid of the song, but the singing speed must be accelerated and the rhythm must be kept unchanged.

Another difference is that the rhymes of the words are usually relatively sparse compared to the songs, and only a few of the words can be turned into rhymes or alternately rhymed.

And the rhyme of the song will be more dense, and many songs rhyme every sentence and rhyme to the end.

The popular lyrics in this dynasty were often sung, and Jiaofangsi and even the Qinlou Chuguan not only sang lyrics, but also sang songs.

But on the stage, they don't just sing songs, sometimes they also sing lyrics.

It's just that the spread of words is wider, and words are sometimes added to the imperial examinations, and most of the songs need to be sung in Daqu.

Therefore, literati wrote more lyrics and less music. After all, writing lyrics is more conducive to fame, but songs are limited by the main repertoire, and often the meaning of the score cannot be heard when they are used alone.

Therefore, in the long run, Ci flourishes and Qu declines. Since the Tang Dynasty, among these two literary forms, Ci has taken the lead.

Zhao Tong handed the play list to the young lady at the back. After he said in the small building that day that he wanted to give the young lady a title, he left immediately without doing anything else.

Xiaoniang and Qi Hongyu and Jian Suyi looked at the playlist, ordered a few plays and passed them to the head of the troupe, and then began to sing.

First perform a "sexy segment" with five characters in their early stages, and then the real thing.

The first one to appear is Mo Ni, who wears a black lacquer pouf, but his face is like a mirror, and he wears flowers and flowers.

The second one is called Yinxi, which is tied with a water rhino horn belt, wrapped in a red scarf with green leaves, and yellow clothes with long lining and short boots.

The third one is called Vice Pure Color, wrapped in a knotted ball hat, wearing a Die Sheng Luo shirt, and reading essays in his mouth.

The fourth one is called Vice Mo Se, with vivid speech, colorful clothes, filling tunes, and making jokes.

The fifth one is pretending to be lonely, pretending to be crazy-eyed, with a bright smear on the forehead, two-color clam powder on the face, wrapped in a greasy old kerchief, and wearing a dirty opera jacket, playing around like a rascal.

The five people went back and forth to perform, and came to the singing and dancing talents again, scattered as musicians, playing and playing, and the big song was about to begin.

On the stage, they kept coming and going, talking and singing, and everyone in the audience except Zhao Tong watched with gusto, and exclaimed from time to time.

However, Zhao Tang felt that his heart was indifferent, he turned somersaults and didn't speak, he just listened to the song, most of the words didn't express the meaning, someone filled in randomly, wasting the tones that have been passed down for hundreds of years.

Just when he was bored, a housekeeper suddenly came to report that it was Maode Diji and Yi Wang who had come to the mansion.

Zhao Tun was taken aback when he heard the words, he had offended the Emperor Daojun, so he was never called to have a family banquet in the palace during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but what are these two doing on the reunion day?

King Yi is Zhao Fen, the younger brother of Zhao Fujin. Although Zhao Fujin's mother passed away early, the princes and daughters have many honors. Several princes have been crowned kings early, far from Zhao Gou and other princes.

He thought for a while, felt something was wrong, stood up and said, "Let them go to the study."

Zhao Tong stayed in the study for a while, and then saw Zhao Fujin and Zhao Fen walking in.

Zhao Fujin was wearing a goose-yellow palace attire, and there were faint tears on his small face. Seeing Zhao Tun salute first, before he could speak, Zhao Fen over there burst into tears.

Zhao Tong frowned when he saw this, Zhao Fen and Zhao Gou were the same age, they were both eleven or twelve years old this year, although they were not considered adults, but they were precocious in the palace, and Zhao Fen had a strong temper, so he seldom cried. I have never seen it in the palace.

"Second brother..." Zhao Fu cried.

"What's the matter? Sit down and talk." Zhao Tang was confused for a moment: "Isn't today the Mid-Autumn Festival? Why did you go out of the palace, and the officials allowed it?"

The two sat on the chair, Zhao Fu was crying non-stop, Zhao Fujin could only comfort him, after a long time Zhao Tong said again: "Fujin, come and talk."

Zhao Fujin looked at Zhao Tun, and whispered: "Second brother, starling, he was demoted to a commoner by his father!"

"Huh?!" Zhao Tong was taken aback when he heard the words, Zhao Fen was the eighth son of the Taoist Emperor, and he was named King Yi, how could he be demoted to a commoner?

"Fu Jin, what's going on? How did you become a commoner?"

Zhao Fujin's eyes turned red when he heard the words, and he said in a low voice: "Second brother, for some reason this morning, Dad suddenly lost his temper and scolded all the princes and princesses in Yanfu Palace, even those who were not around, and then he went down The purpose is to demote the starling, and I don't know the reason at all... "

Zhao Tong touched his chin with his hand, and suddenly thought of something in his mind, he couldn't help but take a long breath. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, there was indeed such a royal mystery.

It is recorded in "Song History" and "Song Dazhao Collection", "Eight princes were demoted to common people"!
However, although there are clear records, they have not clarified the reason why Zhao Fu was demoted.

Not to mention "Song History", the "Song Dazhao Collection" was originally called "The Dynasty Dazhao" or "The Dynasty Dazhao". The compilation in the early years was very close to the Xuanhe period, and there will never be any errors in the records.

In the Song Dynasty, when literati ruled the world, it was extremely rare for the emperor to demote the prince to a commoner, and the reason was not mentioned, and it has never happened since ancient times!
Zhao Tong looked at the two siblings, one with pear blossoms and rain, and the other in a slumber, at this moment Zhao Fen suddenly shouted: "Daddy scolded Fifth Sister too, it's worse than scolding others."

Zhao Tun was even more puzzled when he heard the words, the Emperor Daojun had always loved Zhao Fujin so much, why would he scold him harder than others?

He couldn't help asking: "How did the officials scold me?"

Zhao Fen wiped away his tears: "Father...Father, he called the second elder brother a traitor, a traitor, Meng De and his like, and also called the crown prince a waste, disobedient and unfilial, and the third elder brother's embroidered pillow, which cannot be reused!"

The corners of Zhao Tun's mouth twitched when he heard this, this... this scolding was harsh enough!
It's nothing to him, just cursing and venting his anger, who can believe that he is a traitor?He is a loyal minister!

But scolding the prince for being disobedient and unfilial, this is really serious, what kind of prince should the prince be if he is disobedient and unfilial?
It seems that Emperor Daojun is very angry, scolding all three of them like this, maybe scolding the siblings in front of him!

It's just that Zhao Tang couldn't figure out what happened, and later generations didn't record the reason. Here, I heard that my sister and brother lost their temper suddenly, that is to say, they didn't say the reason.

However, although the Emperor Daojun is stupid, he is not the kind of violent king, not the kind of person who kills and kills at every turn, let alone his own children, there must be something weird about it.

Emperor Daojun has always regarded himself as refined and elegant. Zhao Tang felt incredible that this kind of thing happened to him.

After all, demoting a prince to a commoner without giving a reason, this kind of thing will be discussed by the world, which is contrary to the refined image that the Taoist emperor has always managed.

Zhao Tong couldn't understand the reason, after all, this was also a royal mystery in history.

He looked at the siblings and asked, "Can we have a banquet in the palace today?"

Zhao Fujin shook his head and said, "Father ordered that no banquet be held, no one dares to mention it."

Zhao Tong became more and more puzzled, he even skipped the family banquet, he comforted him: "Let's talk about this matter later, follow me to the theater first, and the dinner will stay at the mansion."

Then they chatted about other things, Zhao Tun took the two of them to the theater, added two chairs in front, and added mooncakes. After watching the play for a long time, the two of them seemed to be in a much better mood.

Then in the afternoon, a large banquet was held in the mansion, with more than twenty tables opened, but it was noisy and lively, and it didn't end until it was dark.

At this time, the tributes had already been placed on the platform in the mansion, and after the banquet was over, Zhao Tang took everyone to enjoy the moon, and after the moon appreciation, night operas began to be sung on the stage.

Zhao Tang looked bored, and said: "Why don't you go outside and look around, I don't know where there is a show."

After all, Zhao Fen was young, so he forgot about the relegation at this moment, and shouted: "Second brother, why not go to the riverside to watch the lanterns, I heard that there are lantern riddles to guess at the river lanterns tonight."

There are indeed riddles on the river lanterns displayed during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but there is no high reward, and you can only win a lantern. Zhao Tuo said: "Unfortunately, I didn't think about it before, but now it is impossible to rent a painting boat to watch, so I have to do it by the river. have a look."

Zhao Fujin thought for a while: "You can also go to Shangshu Province and Taixue, etc. I heard that there are open-air poetry gatherings in many places tonight."

"Poetry meeting?" Zhao Tong nodded. There are indeed many poetry meetings held in the Mid-Autumn Festival, among which the largest scale is held at the Aetherology. He said with a smile: "Then watch the lanterns first, and then go to the poetry meeting."
