Chapter 55 Peking Opera
"Put a stool for Wei Aiqing!" Zhu Yijun looked at Wei Liangfu and said with a smile. Wei Liangfu is not young anymore, but Zhu Yijun knew that Wei Liangfu was a long-lived person and lived to be ninety years younger.
Although he is over 60 years old now, he still has 30 years of good life, and many people cannot survive.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Liangfu hurriedly bowed and then sat on the stool carefully.
Although the emperor is in front of him, this emperor is only ten years old. Wei Liangfu knows one thing well, that is, children are the most capricious. Children of this age are also the hardest to coax, and the emperor is no exception.
"Wei Aiqing, I heard that you are very good at miscellaneous dramas?" Zhu Yijun did not hesitate and asked Wei Liangfu directly.
"Go back to the emperor, I'm just dabbling." Wei Liangfu didn't know what the emperor was doing, so he could only say with a thorn in his mouth.
Zhu Yijun nodded, but there was no change in his face. Zhu Yijun has long been used to talking around people in this era. He is very particular about speaking three points and keeping seven points. You can't take it too seriously.
Listening to the sound of speaking and listening to the sound of gongs and drums are basically one of the basic skills that scholars in this era need to master.
"My mother has nothing to do in the palace recently. I want to find someone to perform a new show for her mother. I asked. According to them, the one who is best at miscellaneous shows is Wei Aiqing." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "And the New Year is coming soon, so you can't celebrate it very much, but it's still OK to perform dramas in the palace."
In theory, my father passed away was to be filial for three years, but for the royal family, this was impossible.
Although you cannot be filial, there cannot be big celebrations. Even during the Chinese New Year, although it will not be deserted, you cannot serve wine, food and drink. Zhu Yijun is going to rehearse a play for his mother first. After the Chinese New Year, there must be something to do.
"Building a fireworks workshop should make a lot of money!" Zhu Yijun suddenly had such an idea, and then shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I am old and weak, I am afraid I will not be able to do it!" Wei Liangfu hurriedly refused.
Your Majesty, stop making trouble. I, Wei Liangfu, was also a Jinshi, became an official and a magistrate, and was also a person with status. When I ran to the capital to write miscellaneous operas for the emperor and the empress dowager, I would not have become a slander. I guess I would be the same as those who wrote Qing Ci.
No, it’s even worse than others. They can write Qing Ci to the cabinet. If they want to do this, their reputation will probably be a bad street.
"The Taichang Temple Minister is very weak and I think he will be very suitable for resigning from office soon afterwards." Zhu Yijun looked at Wei Liangfu and said lightly. In fact, Zhu Yijun also knew that Wei Liangfu and Li Shizhen were different.
Li Shizhen was an imperial physician. To put it bluntly, he gave a title in an imperial hospital. Wei Liangfu was a governor before he was a scholar. He returned to Beijing to write operas for himself. It was not justified and inappropriate. He may not be able to arrange it outside.
Give a position as a minister of Taichang Temple and a title of third rank. After a while, you will add a title of third rank like the prince and third rank.
Taichang Temple Minister? The third rank?
It is quite appropriate for his own governor to be a third-rank official, but Wei Liangfu understood that the emperor was determined to write a play. The Taichang Temple Minister had a weak body and had long been resigned. In Wei Liangfu's opinion, the emperor might not know who the Taichang Temple Minister was.
In fact, Zhu Yijun does not know him, so he has no intention of caring about them.
You should know that the court will soon have a major change, such as Yang Bo, the current Minister of Rites and Ge Shouli, the left censor of the Censorate, who will all send their teachers one after another. Zhang Juzheng will immediately start to collect power and replace his own direct personnel.
Zhu Yijun would never have much effort to want to be a Taichang Temple Minister.
Besides, Zhu Yijun would not ask for it himself, but was planning to ask Zhang Jing to ask it. In order to make good friends with Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng gave Feng Bao many benefits. Zhang Juzheng could tolerate the embezzlement of the manpower in his previous life and could arrange it.
Zhu Yijun believes that Zhang Juzheng can accept Feng Bao and Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing supports Zhang Juzheng's reform, which is certain. If he does not support Zhu Yijun, he will support him. With Zhang Jing's hands, it is convenient for Zhu Yijun to do things, and he can bypass his mother and turn his meaning into Zhang Jing's meaning.
If Feng Bao was there, such an operation would be impossible. As expected, killing Feng Bao has many benefits.
Wei Liangfu knew that he could not escape, but with the official position of Taichang Temple Minister, he had a fig leaf, so he agreed. However, he didn't know what the emperor wanted him to write, so he waited next to him to listen to the order.
Zhu Yijun thought for a long time and felt that the female princess was not suitable for her. Let’s just sing the Yang family!
There is She and Mu Guiying in it. Such an opera is about my mother. If you want to sing a case of beating a beauty, the outcome will be very miserable. Bao Zheng is so glorious. What is the image of the empress dowager in it? It is not like this to do death.
Zhu Yijun then told Wei Liangfu all his knowledge of Peking Opera. He didn't know much. Fortunately, he grew up with his grandparents in his previous life. When he was a child, he was always taken to the show by his grandfather, so he could sing a few sentences, such as Silang's mother.
Wei Liangfu asked someone to bring paper and pen and listen to it while recording, and he would write down everything he could write down.
As for the content of the opera, Zhu Yijun was going to write it himself, and he was familiar with the stories of the Yang family generals. How can it be so grand and how to write it well? It is not enough to sign it himself. It must be Wei Liangfu, who is the emperor who wrote the opera.
In the end, Zhu Yijun also gave Wei Liangfu a piece of Silang's visit to his mother, and the sing was just that.
Zhu Yijun gave Chen Ju the bell and drums in the palace to bring, and asked him to cooperate with Wei Liangfu to rehearse the show. First, "The Top Scholar" is the drama of Yang Yanzhao marrying Princess Chai. I am happy about the New Year.
This adds to the role of the empress dowager. Of course, the image must be glorious.
After arranging all these, Zhu Yijun found Zhang Jing again. Since he became the Dongchang Factory Mansion, Zhang Jing has become different. To put it in a later saying, it is to walk with a strong wind and be very proud.
"Send someone to contact You Qi and get in touch with him. Remember, don't be too deliberate."
Zhu Yijun gave a light command.
Of course, Zhang Jing knew about Feng Bao's affairs. Xu Jue, who had been in contact with You Qi, had been interrogated by him. Now that the emperor asked him to contact You Qi, Zhang Jing naturally knew what to do and nodded, "Yes, the emperor, the old slave will arrange someone to do it immediately."
"Dongchang cleared out as soon as possible. When I don't want to use people, everything you take out is waste." Zhu Yijun gave another instructor.
