Chapter 109 Please watch the play
The Ming Dynasty's emphasis on culture and over military affairs was particularly obvious during the gathering of military tributes. The lobby of the Ministry of War could not accommodate nearly 600 military tributes. The people ranked lower in the second and third-class tributes had already been lined up on the streets outside. The entire gathering site was like an open-air market. Fortunately, the weather has been pretty sunny these days, otherwise this group of future famous generals would have been soaked in a gang of chickens.
No cabinet came to send warmth. The highest-ranking official on the scene was Zhang Heming, the Minister of War, who was the second-ranking Minister of War. Even the left and right governors of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, who had the power to command military power. In fact, if the Wugongshi had not been in the meeting place of the Ministry of War, the Minister of War might not have come.
Since Zhang Heming is the master, he has to say a few words of encouragement. Unfortunately, he and these martial artists really have no common words. After saying a few words of scenes, they became unpredictable.
He knew that Zhu Youcheng was Wen Jieyuan and was outstanding among a group of martial artists. In addition, he was young and pink and cute, so he wanted to take him to the back hall to chat.
Unfortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Youcheng interspersing among a group of tribute scholars, having a lot of fun chatting. It seemed that he was really friendly. Zhang Heming saw that he was having a happy chat with Zhong Tongnian and seemed to have no time, so he had to give up the idea of inviting him to the back hall to have a deep conversation.
The Wugongs saw Zhu Youcheng picking Luo Yang's character and killing people and poking the body that day. He thought he was cruel by nature and retreated one after another. When Zhu Youcheng chatted with them, he realized that Zhu Youcheng was actually a very funny person.
When the chat was very hot, Zhu Youcheng sent a ticket to each Wugongshi.
People who know the goods have recognized that this is the ticket for children's theater that is hard to find in Beijing. Although there is the word "child" in front of the theater, the theater has never performed children's dramas. All the newly compiled dramas are performed, as well as wonderful folk songs and dance performances. Big families often buy tickets at the ticket office as soon as the theater opens, and some even queue up to buy tickets at the entrance of the theater all night, especially when the theater water sign says that new dramas are staged.
As soon as the tickets were handed out, Wu Gongshi immediately became more intimate with Zhu Youcheng. As the Huiyuan of the Wu Academy, he looked at all heroes. There was no need to surrender the nobles and establish a relationship with them, but Zhu Youcheng did not show off his reputation and communicated with them equally, so that all Wu Gongshi wanted to make friends with Zhu Youcheng from the mainland.
Children's Theater can accommodate more than 300 people at a time, and there are nearly 600 tribute tributes here, so the tickets for Wu Gongshi are not on the same day, but they are all at the same time, which is the Xu hour (now from 7:00 to 9:00 pm), which is also the most popular ticket for Children's Theater.
------------------
Zhu Youcheng, who came back from the Ministry of War, was not overjoyed to learn that he had won the news of Wen Huiyuan. He felt as if he had picked up something that originally belonged to him. After going through twists and turns, although Huiyuan was in his hand, he was not as excited as he imagined.
The next day, he went to the Imperial College to report, and Zhu Youcheng was watched by the onlookers. Everyone was curious about the talented man who was jealous of the Minister of Rites. When Zhu Youcheng was only 13 years old, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly that he had to throw away goods and that people were so angry that he was so angry that he was doing what he was doing at the age of 13. Some people were even more surprised when they knew that Zhu Youcheng was still Wu Huiyuan, so their eyes almost fell to the ground.
The scene immediately became an exhibition, and many tribute men wanted to sell their sister, daughter or niece to Zhu Youcheng, which made him very upset.
The Imperial College Priest Jiu was righteous and sternly bombarding the flies away. He turned his head and smiled and wanted to betroth him. Zhu Youcheng had to tell him that he had been engaged. He walked back with a frustration and suddenly turned around and told Zhu Youcheng that his concubine would be...
After dealing with this, Zhu Youcheng gave out tickets to the Imperial College again. Unexpectedly, the tribute scholars had heard of the children's theater for a long time, but they were busy taking the exam some time ago and didn't have time to watch it. Although there was still a palace exam in front of them, they were not as nervous as they were able to take the exam. It was okay to go out and stroll around occasionally.
------------------
After returning to the children's playground, Zhu Youcheng and Wang Xin studied the plays invited civil and military tributes to watch.
Zhu Youcheng was not on a whim or simply wanted to make friends with tributes. He wanted to use this drama to cultivate the patriotic feelings of these future civil and military officials. The material prosperity in the late Ming Dynasty, but the spiritual world was a bit deserted, especially the ministers, who were already quite as good as ministers of the country. Civil officials were arrogant and greedy for money, and military generals were selfish and timid.
"It's "Broken Arm Storytelling". This drama is good. Please read it by Wu Gongshi, it's just right." Zhu Youcheng thought for a while and said.
Legend has it that Lu Wenlong was captured from the Jin Kingdom since he was a child and recognized the thief as his father. Wang Zuo, a general of the Southern Song Dynasty, killed his right arm and used a bitter plan to surrender. He used the name of a storyteller in the Jin army to tell Lu Wenlong about his life experience. Lu Wenlong repented and broke out of the Jin army camp to help Yue Fei defeat Jin Wushu. "The Storyteller of Broken Arm" is a heart-stirring story.
King Xin said: "Let's act in "The Song of Righteousness". It's also very touching to act in this drama, Wen Tianxiang would rather die than surrender."
The two were arguing. At this moment, a sharp eunuch's voice came from outside: "The emperor is here--"
Zhu Youcheng and King Xin quickly stood up to welcome Emperor Tianqi.
"What are you two fighting for?"
"King Xin and I are discussing what drama to perform for Wu Gongshi."
"I've heard that you have spent a lot of money in the lobby of the Ministry of War and the Imperial College. It seems that you have made another fortune. If you send out these more than 1,200 tickets, you will get rid of at least 120 yuan of silver coins. However, I remind you that you can't buy friendship with money, and this kind of wine and meat friend is unreliable."
"Your Majesty, I asked them to watch the play to cultivate their sentiments and cultivate loyal ministers and good generals for the Ming Dynasty."
Emperor Tianqi thought for a while, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "It seems that I am not a loss to fight for this Huiyuan for you. No matter what you do, it seems to be to make the Ming Dynasty stronger. Yes, I also feel the role of drama. Every time I watch a drama in the Children's Theater, I will always be excited. By the way, what drama do you just said, do you want to perform for Wu Gongshi?"
Zhu Youcheng and King Xin said his opinions, Emperor Tianqi pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to act in "The Broken Arm Storytelling". "The Song of Righteousness" is too tragic. Is the imperial examination list a happy event, or do some shows with a happy ending."
The two nodded at the same time, and Emperor Tianqi asked again: "Brother Cheng, have you issued a ticket to Wen Gongshi? What program have you prepared for them?"
Zhu Youjian said: "The Biography of Hai Gong Dahongpao tells the story of Hai Rui, the Qing official of the Ming Dynasty."
King Xin said: "The Case of Chopping Beauty" tells the story of Bao Zheng, a great scholar in Longtu Pavilion in the Song Dynasty, who was not afraid of the powerful and used a dragon-headed guillotine to "crack" his son-in-law Chen Shimei."
"It's better to "The Case of the Chopping of Beauty". If they know that when Hai Rui died, he could not even afford a coffin, no one would be willing to be a clean official. There are too many places to use money in the Ming Dynasty now, including military forces in the northeast and southwest, and famine in the northwest. When the national treasury is full, I must raise the salary of the officials so that even if they are innocent, they can be prosperous and wealthy."
Zhu Youcheng and King Xin saluted Emperor Tianqi together and said, "The Emperor is kind."
In the civil and military examination, there were more than 1,200 geniuses and talents. When Emperor Tianqi thought of this, he couldn't help but feel happy and said with a smile: "I haven't watched these two dramas yet. I'll go and see them in the next few days. Brother Cheng, brother Jian, you two are watching the drama with me in the private room, don't squeeze in with those tribute men."
Zhu Youcheng and Wang Xin naturally agreed happily.
Emperor Tianqi asked again: "I have won 1,200 officials this time. Brother Cheng, how many talents do you think there will be in the middle?"
Zhu Youcheng thought for a long time and seemed to have no particularly famous ministers in his undergraduate degree, so he asked carefully: "Master, do you want to hear the truth or the lies?"
