First Minister of Ming Dynasty

When Zhang Ximeng passed his thirties, he was not like the pretty scholar with white face in the early days. His whole person became more and more solemn, especially when he started to grow beards. The short and neat black beards are mature and grand. He really interprets what a gentleman is like jade.

A light gray robe, plus a wolfskin hat, and no extra decoration.

Zhu Biao has absorbed the strengths of Lao Zhu and Queen Ma. He is also very tall and his facial features are not bad, but compared with Zhang Ximeng, it can only be said that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

The two were about to leave when they bumped into Jiang Nan hurriedly returning.

This Jiang Shangshu has just been in charge of the commercial department, and he is very busy.

After finally coming back, she found that Zhang Ximeng was leaving. She turned around and went back to the house. When she came back, there was an extra piece of dog skin plaster in her hand, and it fell directly on Zhang Ximeng's temple.

"Don't let people recognize you."

Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Thank you Madam for being careful, I'll be back after the show."

After explaining, Zhang Ximeng left the mansion with Zhu Biao.

When he was outside, Zhu Biao looked at Zhang Ximeng, who had dog skin plaster on his temples and was fighting with some hooligans, and couldn't help laughing: "Sir, I don't think I'm afraid that people will recognize you, but I'm afraid that some big girl will be a little girl. Daughter-in-law, I took your old man away!"

Zhang Ximeng gave him a big white eye, "Don't talk nonsense, whoever dares to rob me, Jiang Shangshu will lead his troops to kill him! The heads are rolling and the blood is flowing!"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhang Ximeng meaningfully, and said in his heart that you are boasting or hurting!

Forget it, let's watch the show!

When the two of them came out, Zhang Ximeng also bought a bag of fried broad beans from the roadside, and followed Zhu Biao to the theater.

This play is very interesting, you need to buy bamboo sticks in advance, you can buy at least a quarter.

If you go first, look at the beginning, and if you don't get to the wonderful place, you will be invited out.

There are only two kinds of people who do this, one is a novice who doesn't know anything, and the other is an old drama fan who only picks up the most exciting places to watch.

Then there is to buy half, watch half.

In this case, time is usually very tight, and you can't watch the whole scene, but just pick up what you have time to watch.

Of course, Zhu Biao chose the third one, which is a complete one, able to watch the audience.

Zhang Ximeng thinks that movie tickets in future generations can refer to this model, sell quarter tickets, half tickets, you can try the water first, if it doesn't look good, run away decisively.

If it looks good, renew it online and increase the duration.

At that time, when you see the full viewing rate, it will be clear whether a movie is good or bad.

Zhang Ximeng felt that this idea of ​​his own was absolutely worth it, and it was definitely worth voting for two votes, and by the way, a little reward.

He was thinking that the gong had already started on the stage.

The earliest version of the civet cat for the prince can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty drama "Jin Shui Bridge Chen Lin Holding a Makeup Box", and since then, this play has been continuously performed and successfully combined with Bao Gong's case, becoming the brightest Bao Zheng in folklore The highlight moment of the eye.

Even in later generations, you can still see clues in some TV series, such as the young Bao Qingtian...

Zhang Ximeng is quite familiar with the whole process of changing the civet cat to the prince. This time, he came here not only to watch the play, but also to watch the three teachings and nine streams, and read all kinds of stories.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, Wu Datou led a group of people to Liangzhou to console the soldiers in front of them, and the entire field of opera in Yingtian changed quietly.

Those plays that were originally dominated by the imperial court became less and less, and there were more and more other content, and there were fewer and fewer official troupes and more and more folk troupes.

All kinds of changes, although silent, can be said to be rapid.

Zhang Ximeng was sitting here, thinking, not far from him, a literati squeezed in. He lowered his head and was very careful, as if he was afraid of causing any trouble, so he didn't dare to look up, just squeezed in, Sit down.

Then pull out a few sheets of paper from the sleeve and a pen from the other side.

Because this kind of theater is not allowed to be recorded, if you have the ability, you can remember it all, and remember it all, there is nothing to say.

If you try to copy and steal teachers, you will be beaten.

Come to this person, he does not need to record the whole article, he just wants to pick up some important places and record them.

I don't know what to say about this obvious behavior.

If the person next to him is willing to help cover, the little guy on the field will raise his hand, and he will be fooled.

So after he sat down, he secretly raised his head and looked beside him. Coincidentally, someone was also looking at him.

"Brother Luo, it's been half a month since the tea business left that day. How is your tea business? It's not very good here!"

Luo Guanzhong blinked his eyes, stunned, and said with a dry smile: "Mr. Zhang's business is much bigger than that of the younger one. My place is even worse. I can only watch a play and relieve my worries."

After Lao Luo finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head and calmed down.

After all, when he saw this, he almost felt his heart out!

Zhang Xiang!

What are you doing here to watch the show?

Luo Guanzhong was amazed, he calmed down a little, raised his head again, and Zhu Biao, who happened to be sitting on the other side of Zhang Ximeng, also looked here... He also knew Lao Luo, and he gave him a big bright smile.

Luo Guanzhong was stunned for a while, and his eyes almost fell!

The prince is here too!

My goodness!

What kind of luck is this?

You can meet these two in a play, how is it such a coincidence?

Luo Guanzhong couldn't figure it out, so he could only suppress his excitement, let's be honest!

As for the plan to copy a few words of the play, it was also thrown into the clouds.

If it was because of his actions that the identities of these two were exposed, it would be a great sin.

Luo Guanzhong could only hold his hands behind his back, like a good baby, with a pair of eyes, staring at the stage, and out of the corner of his eye he would scan Zhang Ximeng from time to time. Watching this play is really a test of skill. After watching a play, it is estimated that 250 degrees of astigmatism can be seen.

"The Age of Rebirth"

Compared with Lao Luo's heartbeat, he was much more energetic on stage.

The so-called civet cat for the prince refers to the Song Zhenzong Dynasty. Concubine Liu and Concubine Li were pregnant at the same time, and whoever gave birth to a prince would be established as the queen.

After Concubine Li gave birth to a baby boy, she lost too much blood and fainted.

At this time, the director Guo Huai and the midwife worked together to replace the prince with a skinned civet cat.

And Concubine Liu handed over the prince to Kou Chengyu, the confidant of the palace, and asked her to deal with it.

Kou Chengyu knew that this was the prince and was reluctant to do harm, so he hid in the bushes. It happened that the old manager Chen Lin passed by. He was giving birthday peaches to the eight kings. Kou Chengyu knew that he was loyal, so he came out with courage and took the peaches. Things are said again.

Chen Lin immediately put the prince into a box containing longevity peaches and took it to the Eight Sages.

This is the first half, the civet cat changed the prince.

Generally speaking, it is an early version of the harem of Zhen Huan, which belongs to the originator of Gong Dou Opera.

Clearly, there are a lot of outliers in this play.

For example, when a prince is born, why are there only a general manager and a midwife?

Where is the official in charge of daily living notes?

Where is the doctor?

And Zongzheng Temple, don't they need to witness the birth of the prince?

Most importantly, where is the emperor himself?

Under the witness of so many people, how could the civet cat be exchanged for the prince?

Obviously this is an impossible thing, it is better to wait for the prince to be born and find a way to kill him with medicine, which is convenient.

Of course, as a pioneering work, you can't ask for so much.

After all, this play already has the embryonic form of a palace fighting drama, vicious noble concubine, treacherous eunuch, loyal little palace maid, quite chivalrous old eunuch... This kind of setting of the main personnel, even in later generations, still applies.

Moreover, Concubine Li was kind and murdered, and Chen Lin and Kou Chengyu were loyal and brave to save the prince. In addition, the prince went out, like an orphan of the Zhao family.

Next, we will see how the prince takes his revenge!

A first half, full of gimmicks.

Zhang Ximeng watched with relish, Luo Guanzhong was sweating, and Zhu Biao didn't say anything, because the real problem was later.

Sure enough, when he entered the midfield, the prince that Liu Fei originally gave birth to died early, and Emperor Zhenzong had to adopt the son of the eight princes and become himself a prince.

And this son of the Eight Kings is the prince who was sent out at the beginning.

At this time, Concubine Liu was already the queen. She felt that the prince's identity was suspicious, so she immediately called Kou Chengyu... The second scene of the civet cat changing the prince was called torture Kou Chengyu.

Empress Liu pressed for the truth of the matter, Kou Chengyu refused to admit it, and Chen Lin tortured Kou Chengyu to death.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed. At this time, the prince has grown up, and Concubine Li, who was framed at the beginning, escaped from the dead, ran out of the cold palace, went to Chenzhou, and begged in the Powa Han kiln. pregnancy.

At this moment, there was a famine in Chenzhou, and Concubine Li's life was hanging by a thread. It happened that Bao Zheng put food in Chenzhou, met Concubine Li, and told Bao Zheng what happened that year.

Bao Zheng took Concubine Li back to Kaifeng. At this time, Zhenzong was dead, and the prince was successfully enthroned.

Bao Zheng decided to let Guo Huai tell the truth, and at the same time Chen Lin testified, forcing the Empress Dowager Liu to commit suicide.

The third play, also called Caoqiao Broken Queen!

Concubine Li returned to the palace smoothly, reunited with her son, and was named Empress Dowager.

Even Concubine Li was living in the people and adopted a godson, and this godson became His Royal Highness. It can be said that everyone is happy and everyone is celebrating.

The bad guys are dead and justice is done.

Loyal ministers and righteous men, help protect the Song Dynasty.

This prince who has experienced ups and downs is Song Renzong, the longest reigning emperor of the Song Dynasty.

When the show is here, all the actors come on stage, and finally there will be a big reunion.

At this time, the old student who played Chen Lin started to read it, roughly meaning, the Song Dynasty had loyal ministers and righteous people, holy monarchs and worthy ministers.

Which rant?

Crazy people, aren't they just offstage!

A good show, Zhang Ximeng came out with a smile on his face, Zhu Biao followed closely, and Luo Guanzhong followed, he didn't know what Zhang Ximeng would do!

"Sir, do you think you want to arrest these performers immediately? Zhu Biao is murderous, "Cure them for the crime of bewitching the public! "

Zhang Ximeng was stunned and said with a smile: "It's not good. If your Highness is interested, you can invite them to the palace... This is not His Majesty's birthday. I will play it for His Majesty, and please also invite the Queen to see it!"

Zhu Biao blinked his eyes and suddenly extended his thumb, "Goodbye sir!"
