Chapter 893 Future Successor

Or, don’t do it, just do it, be more serious.

After a series of cleanings, the atmosphere of Lichunyuan returned to what Li Mu wanted.

The Lichunyuan incident gave Li Mu a different view of "people". He especially remembered how they were grateful when they took in these people from the Jiaofangsi, how they promised, how they promised. But as time passed, they were no longer under their noses, and the nature of these people was still exposed. He gave them a stable life, but they still wanted more, and even went on the old path that they thought they were suffering a lot.

This made Li Mu feel a little incomprehensible. It was you who wanted to jump out of the sea of ​​suffering at the beginning. Now it was you who turned around and jumped into the sea of ​​suffering? Then what do you want?

The ancients said that it is hard to raise women and villains. The group of people in the Jiaofangsi have all the villains and women.

After thinking about it, Li Mu suddenly felt that there was no need to care about the ideas of these people. Some people just don’t deserve pity, and the more they fight Mien to raise grudges, the more they give them, the less content they are.

Therefore, the ones that should be driven away, the ones that should be opened will be opened. Let these people return to the trajectory of their destiny, and the more than a year of stable life is enough to be their dream.

Two new dramas are about to be filmed. To be precise, they are one and a half. The Peony Pavilion had performed several changes before, but because Li Mu moved to Luoyang, the next few changes were not finished. This drama was originally intended to confess her love to Wang Ou, but she had not watched it in full. This time she regarded it as a way to make up for the regret of her beloved wife.

There are not many scenes at the end of the show, and this part saves time and can be staged as soon as possible.

For the new drama, Li Mu set up "The West Chamber". After market investigation, Li Mu found that the people of the Tang Dynasty actually liked love dramas, especially love dramas with a happy ending. They could watch them over and over again. For dramas like Dou E's injustice, they would watch them for the first time, but they would not want to watch them for the second time. After all, people instinctively want to escape with negative energy.

The drama "The West Chamber" has a strong anti-feudal ethics. If it was in other dynasties, it might be criticized as contrary to the etiquette and law, but it will resonate with the open Tang Dynasty. Of course, some details still need to be changed.

The protagonists of the original work are the male protagonist Zhang Sheng, the heroine Cui Yingying, the Matchmaker who passed the message, Sun Feihu who surrounded the temple, and Zheng Heng who wanted to stick to the corner. The age of the book is unknown, but since this book was derived from Yuan Zhen's "The Legend of Yingying" in the Tang Dynasty, later generations believe that this story took place in the Tang Dynasty.

But now it is the Tang Dynasty, and the timeline is a little wrong. So Li Mu pushed the time when the story happened to the Sui Dynasty. The main characters remained unchanged, but General Baima, who saved people, changed it to General Li. Combined with the words and background in the book, General Li reflected the later General Li Shimin.

The story outline is this: Zhang Sheng met the eldest daughter Cui Yingying at Puji Temple. She fell in love at first sight and had no choice but to get close to her. She just met the rebel general Sun Feihu leading his troops to surround the temple and wanted to force Yingying to be the wife of the village. Zhang Sheng, with Cui's mother's promise to marry, relied on the help of his friend General Li to relieve the danger. Unexpectedly, Cui's mother broke her promise and refused to let her marry her, and Zhang Sheng fell in love with her. Yingying loved Zhang Sheng but was unwilling to confess her love to her. After many twists and turns, with the help of the matchmaker, Ying

Ying finally went to Zhang Sheng's residence for a private meeting. Cui's mother noticed the signs and questioned the matchmaker. Instead, she was pointed at the key points by the matchmaker's words. She reluctantly agreed to the marriage, but on the grounds of family background, she asked Zhang Sheng to go to Beijing to take the exam immediately. After seeing off his farewell in the ten-mile long pavilion, Zhang Sheng went to Beijing to win the top scorer; Zheng Heng took the opportunity to fabricate a lie and said that Zhang Sheng had married another in Beijing. The old lady once again refused to marry Yingying and asked Yingying to marry Zheng Heng. Later, Zhang Sheng rushed over and Zheng Heng was killed, and the reunion ended.

Cui Yingying's Cui naturally cannot be separated from the Boling Cui family. Although it is not pointed out in the play, it is enough to use the brain to supplement it. Cui Yingying in the play comes from a famous noble family and is a beautiful and talented girl. Her father betrothed her to Zheng Shangshu's son before his death. He gave her a pun, so he led two families.

Zhang Sheng was created by Li Mu as an image of "pleasing" the gentry. Zhang Sheng's father was the Minister of Rites, which shows that he was also a scholarly family of officials. He was influenced by this environment since childhood and studied hard and learned a lot of articles to seek titles. This is a typical scholar's character.

The luck is not good, the fortune is so good that people are not good at it. They are all unfair. This is also the template for most scholars who fail to win. However, usually the scholars who fail to win return home in disgrace. Few people who are like Zhang Sheng can "drift their books and swords and wander around the world". If they cannot do it, they do not want to. Zhang Sheng's image is exactly what these scholars yearn for. The so-called "just seek resonance, and when the family shines on their ancestors, this is what they mean.

But when this well-educated man met his beloved, he was willing to throw fame and fortune out of the sky. This is interesting, and he is quite willing to love the country and the beauty even more. Although in reality, most men will not make such a stupid choice, in the eyes of men who are trapped in love, they are all great love saints. When the beloved is in danger, they wish they could all join the army, abandon literature and follow the martial arts, come and go freely among the troops, and everyone watched the heroes save the beauty. All these settings were consistent with the thoughts of the scholars.

The love that is easily obtained cannot be satisfied. So there must be some twists and turns before the reunion. Mrs. Cui’s repentance and Zhang Sheng’s helplessness highlight Zhang Sheng’s “filial piety” side. Zhang Sheng went to Beijing to take the exam, and passed the exam in one fell swoop, and also showed his personal ability. At the same time, it also reflected Li Mu himself. In the Tang Dynasty, no one didn’t know that he was the top scorer on the two list?

Moreover, Cui Yingying's character also reminds people of Wang Ou, one is the top scholar and the other is the daughter of a famous family. When the characters get the pity of the people, the two people in reality will be much more invisibly.

Li Mu was not worried at all that the Cui family would stand up and say anything. He was just provoking him now and wanted the Cui family to stand up. He was just in need of an excuse to knock the Cui family into the dust.

...

While doing these things, Li Mu did not leave the martial arts lecture hall. After the post-subscription students, they finally left fifteen students. Fang Yiai, Du He and others lived up to Li Mu's expectations and were all on this list. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, all the lieutenants of the martial arts lecture hall gathered in Xiaoyao Valley.

Although Li Shimin had specifically instructed him that he attached great importance to the martial arts lecture hall and could hold the opening ceremony more attention and more ostentatiously, Li Mu did not spend time on it, just put on the shelf once or twice. When he was really serious, it had to be simple, simply, and directly. He asked the lieutenants to stand in the cold wind, and an hour passed. Although the temperature in the valley was a little higher than outside, everyone's faces were red.

At this time, Li Mu appeared leisurely, walked up to the platform, glanced at them with his eyes, said a few words, and ordered them to put their minds down and continue training with all their hearts. As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, he was about to announce his dissolution, suddenly a familiar voice came over. It was Eunuch Gao. He shouted loudly from a distance: "Marquis... Your Majesty is here..."

This call made a burst of cheers from the silent schoolyard, and everyone stood up their chests at the same time. None of them expected that Li Shimin would come here in person, and they all felt honored.

The meaning of Your Majesty’s arrival is different. This matter is enough to show that Li Shimin attached more importance to the martial arts lecture hall than he said. His excitement that day was not just a moment of passion, he really took the martial arts lecture hall seriously.

After a while, Li Shimin's carriage arrived at the entrance of the martial arts hall. The captain at the door hesitated for a moment, stretched out his arm and stopped the carriage. Eunuch Gao suddenly fell down and said with a voice: "Your Majesty has arrived, but you are not welcome. What is this?"

The lieutenant guarding the gate said, "The last general welcomes the emperor and asks His Majesty to forgive him. He will be strictly prohibited from entering the school by carriages and horses. If anyone violates it, it will be a serious crime. The Marquis said that the rules of the martial arts hall are equivalent to military law. If you violate it, you will be beheaded."

"Rules? Are the rules in the world better than those of Your Majesty? Get out of the way!" Eunuch Gao unexpectedly met such a naughty young man. He shouldn't be able to say such a long-term sentence. Could it be that Li Mu specially arranged it? He was supposed to come today, so he found a person who was not smart enough to guard here?

The captain did not move, not only did he not move, but also said seriously: "Your Majesty is the biggest rule, but in this martial arts lecture hall..."

Li Shimin had already got off the carriage there. He waved his hand to stop Eunuch Gao, and said with a smile: "Forget it, since the rules have been set, you should abide by them. I just walk, don't make things difficult for others."

The captain then moved away and half-kneeled on the ground and shouted long live. Li Shimin was in a good mood and took Eunuch Gao into the main entrance of the martial arts hall. Just as he was about to go to the school ground, Li Mu had already brought everyone to welcome him. He had heard that Li Shimin was stopped and sweated coldly behind him. It was a pity that this matter was not his command, but the effect was extremely artificial. Even if the explanation was explained, no one believed it.

Li Shimin smiled, not caring about this detail. He asked Li Mu to accompany him to the schoolyard and said, "I came here this time to see if you are lazy and then see how the lieutenants are. I attach great importance to what you are doing now, and you can't let me down."

Li Mu said: "I do my best to show that everyone in the martial arts lecture hall can testify. By the way, Your Majesty, I have written two stories, one is the full Peony Pavilion, and the other is the new drama "The West Chamber". It can be staged around the Lantern Festival. Your Majesty must grab the ticket in advance."

Li Shimin held his hands and smiled. He looked at the captain who was waiting in the distance and couldn't help but nodded secretly. It was so cold that he stood upright and stood still. Even if he was his own Xuanjia Army, he might not be able to do it.

"I have already booked a private room, which can be regarded as taking care of your business. I will be able to book until the end of the first month of the year, so I don't have to buy tickets, so you don't have to worry about this."

Li Mu said embarrassedly: "It's not very important that business is not business-related. The main reason is that he is afraid that His Majesty will miss the good show, so that is my fault."

Li Shimin suddenly said, "Li Mu, it is said that you want to build a theater in Luoyang too?"

Li Mu smiled, but was not afraid of Li Shimin's interference. He just disliked Li Shimin like a spy and wanted to investigate everything clearly, but he didn't show any of it. He honestly said: "I have to do some small business, your Majesty knows that my family has a large population, and I am a noble character and honest person. I am a model of a clean official and a benchmark for scholars. I have no moral flaws. I can't do anything corrupt and abuse of power. I can't do anything to kill me. Then what can I do? I can only do some business."

Li Shimin listened to Li Mu's bragging words and interrupted with a cold face: "I'm not here to listen to you saying these useless words. What I mean is that in the future, the opera troupes in Chang'an and Luoyang should be rotated, otherwise if you are always in Luoyang, Chang'an's opera will definitely not be able to keep up."

It turned out that this is what it meant. Li Mu quickly said, "Your Majesty is right, I will remember it.

The two of them had already reached the platform while talking. Suddenly, Li Mu felt a little empty behind him. When he looked back, he saw that everyone was standing in the audience, and none of them followed. Only he was foolishly on the platform with Li Shimin, and he stood side by side.

Why no one reminded me of this group of bastards...

Li Mu secretly complained in his heart that he felt like he was unable to get off the ground. Is this behavior of standing side by side with the emperor considered a transcendence?

Li Mu quickly took a step back, but it was too late. Li Shimin glanced at him and signaled him to stand back. Li Mu had to stand back and grinned awkwardly.

Li Shimin glanced at him, with an unpredictable smile in his eyes, grabbed him and whispered: "Follow me honestly, why are you running away?"

Li Mu had no choice but to whisper: "Abide by the order." This sentence of obeying the order means to leave a hint first, which means that he is following the order and that you want me to do it. Then don't settle the accounts later.

Facing the cold wind, Li Shimin and Li Mu looked down at the captain below the school stage. Li Shimin smiled and said, "Li Mu said, you are the emperor's personal army. I think that since you are my personal army, today is the day when you become an army, and I must come and have a look."

The lieutenants were motionless and all looked at Li Shimin excitedly. This kind of eyes made Li Shimin feel a little satisfied. Ordinary people dared not look at him, but their eyes flashed. Sometimes they looked at him, either to please him or to be inclined to make him bored.

However, the eyes of these captains could see that the clear and flawless eyes were full of excitement. This was a sense of admiration. When he was noticed by such eyes, Li Shimin couldn't help but praise: "The Tang army wants such people to take over. If every generation is such a soldier, why worry about the Tang Dynasty's country and the Tang Dynasty cannot be permanent?"
