A Bian opera outside the Cultural Hall actually ignited the passion of all the Liao nobles. That night, I begged to perform the play in its entirety, not to mention it. Afterwards, it was a collective application to perform more performances while the Song envoy was still in Liao. several times.
The officials of the Liao Kingdom were very embarrassed to ask Li Xingjian and the others to discuss it. They all came, and they naturally agreed. As a result, the Confucius class actually performed in the Liao Kingdom's palace for several days in a row, and it was still full.
Moreover, when the news spread outside the palace, many ordinary people of the Liao Kingdom were obsessively guarding outside the palace. Even if they couldn't hear the sound, they still wanted to see the famous Bian opera characters.
Shangjing is also an open city. It is the most prosperous area in the Liao Kingdom, with a lot of people.
There were so many people outside the palace, and sometimes when people from the Confucius family came in and out, when they encountered them, they would sing a cappella for everyone according to Yun Yanhui's instructions.
No matter how many, I will not sing, after all, there is an "artistic pursuit". Even at the request of the Liao Emperor, they were unwilling to perform.
These few words alone are enough to make the people linger, and more people came to contain them. Those who didn't know it thought that the Liao Kingdom was rioting.
Such a hot scene is unprecedented. After all, although the Liao State has a hundred acrobatic performances, one is not as lively and professional as the Song Dynasty, and the other is that Bian opera is different from other hundred operas and is a brand new art form.
Its great charm has been confirmed in the Song Dynasty.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Xingzong once again entertained the envoys of Song in their royal garden.
In the past few days, Xingzong also enjoyed the Bian opera performance again and again, and was very obsessed, so he wanted to discuss it with the Song envoy.
Yunyan returned to chatting with Xingzong about the origin and development of Bian opera. Xingzong was also very interested and asked a lot of questions, "So, if there is no noble envoy, Bian opera will not appear?"
"You're serious. It should be said that without the gang master Kong, there would be no Bian opera, and the foreign ministers only played a role in promoting." Yun Yan smiled back and said.
Xingzong shook his head, "The horses are often seen, but Bole is not often. I heard that your envoy is also the editor-in-chief of the "Kaifeng House News". Although I haven't read the "Kaifeng House News", I heard that the "Tokyo Daily" is a reference With its shape, I think your envoy is also a talented person."
Yun Yanhui was a little helpless, but after hearing this, she knew she was going to write a poem!
Yun Yanhui had no choice but to change the target: "I really don't dare to claim to be talented in front of Li Weng, Li Weng's library is well known in the Song Dynasty."
Xingzong praised Li Xingjian again, "The sky is bright today, so it's time to write a poem to add to the fun. Why don't we use Bian opera as the topic today."
As soon as Xingzong said that, all the Liao ministers who accompanied him at the banquet were all right.
When Yun Yan returned to this side, she secretly waited for Li Xingjian to pick up the knife and copy it herself. Li Xingjian is really literate, and writing two poems is not a problem. However, Li Xun and Zhao Yunchu were brought up by traditional education, and they could write a poem by themselves, which is enough for the Liao Kingdom.
After the Liao courtiers finished writing them one by one, Xingzong brought them to comment one by one, "Well, which Qing family belonged to this song, that's not bad. All night long, the chorus sings, and Nanqu goes to Beijing. territory."
The poems written by the Liao people are relatively simple, and Yun Yanhui can generally understand them without Li Xingjian's explanation.
The first two sentences are about the Bian opera from the Southern Dynasty being staged in the capital of Liao, and the string music played all night long. The last two sentences are the characteristics of writing Bian opera, but many scenes can be staged on a small stage, and each sentence can contain rich emotions.
After Xingzong finished reading, the Liao ministers also touted it. It seems that this poem was written by someone who is recognized as being good at Chinese poetry.
But compared with Li Xingjian's poems, it is far behind. Li Xingjian was very bad. In a short period of time, he wrote a short poem for Yun Yan to catch a knife, and also wrote a long poem, "Wang Qingyu". He used a lot of dictionaries. To the performance of the audience, it fully shows the charm of this play.
In the face of Li Xingjian's poems, all the works of the Liao people are eclipsed.
Xingzong read it again, tasted it again, and felt that he was convinced that he lost, and the song he wrote himself was far inferior. This envoy of Song deserves to be a great scholar with thousands of volumes in his family. Those books are not only there, but they are all copied and memorized.
However, after such an "embarrassing poem", Yun Yanhui also felt the popularity of Bian opera here from the poems of the Liao people.
These envoys did not stare every day, but the Liao people depicted scenes everywhere in their poems. In just seven days, the nobles of the Liao Kingdom were quite crazy about "Wang Qingyu".
After watching "Wang Qingyu", many people fell deeply into the plot. It is not bad to raise carp. It is said that there are women in Liao who regard themselves as He Lishu, imitate their behavior and dress up everywhere, and let their family call them Lishu. To find Liang Sheng from their family is completely crazy.
There is also a growing voice among the people. They hope that Xingzong can show mercy to these commoners, and invite the Confucius family to perform outside the palace. They have been waiting outside the palace every day for a long time.
As for those who madly express their love for the plot, there are even more.
The Liao people responded enthusiastically, and Yun Yanhui also laughed very happily.
Everyone has the same hobby, but in a few days, Song Envoy will leave. Xingzong walked to Yun Yanhui, took his hand and said affectionately: "I have been cultivating books many times, and the emperor brother of the Southern Dynasty generously invited the Bian opera troupe to come to Liao. The musician of Liao, the elder brother of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty said that he could order the envoys to discuss the matter.
Now, the Bian opera troupe has performed several times in the palace, and they are deeply loved by the court and middle class. So, can the troupe Confucius stay in Daliao for a period of time to teach, so that we can continue to enjoy Bian opera in the future? "
Now it is not only loved by the court officials, but also obsessed by the empress dowagers in the harem and the maids, and the voices of the people outside the palace are also very high. I want to know how much resentment there will be if the Confucius family class is released.
Yun Yan thought back and said that you have a shaggy face, and you are so embarrassed to call us the giant brother of Renzong, but he has a serious look on his face: "It's really difficult if you don't want to be a foreign minister. Song and Liao have been repairing for a long time. , Foreign ministers dare not deceive, this Bian opera takes a long time to practice in order to produce results.
Master Kong has been studying Bian opera for many years, and his disciples started learning very early. In addition, musicians in your country are not necessarily familiar with the tunes and dialects of the Southern Dynasties, and it may take longer. Therefore, even if the Confucius leader can stay in Liao for ten years, can the subjects of Liao wait for ten years or more? "
Xingzong originally thought that the Bian Opera would not be out for a long time, but he didn't expect that it would take so long to have an effect. After waiting ten years, he would still appreciate it.
Xingzong was suddenly depressed, "So... Can you agree to our unkind request to ask the Bian Opera Troupe to stay in Beijing for a year?"
Yun Yanhui burst into tears at once, because Xingzong was holding hands, so he tugged at his sleeve to wipe his tears and snot.
Xingzong: "… "
The three of Zhao Yunchu secretly gloated over the misfortune...
Yun Yan choked back and said, "The lord of the country doesn't know, but I told you earlier that the Confucius class is performing in the Puguanze Garden, and I don't know how many tourists go to them every day. public pressure.
However, the Northern and Southern Dynasties are brothers. If they can contribute a little to the two countries, they should lose no amount of performance fees. The foreign minister is just... sad for the orphans of this country.
"We have promulgated a new decree. From now on, the money for the relief of orphans in the world will depend on Pu Guanze's income. And Pu Guanze's biggest attraction is Bian opera. If the leader of the gang doesn't return... woo!"
Xingzong was dazed by Yun Yan's half-truth reply, and he was a little embarrassed. "So, it's really embarrassing for you, so... half a year?"
A Liao official couldn't hold back, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty Rong Yan, we can't appreciate it enough for half a time. Can Song Envoy invite people from the Bian Opera Troupe to perform in Daliao in turn?"
Yunyan covered her eyes and said, "The Liao Kingdom is so kind, and it is difficult for us to refuse. If we come to Liao in turn, it will still have a great impact on Puguanze's business, and the journey will take a long time, but it is also a way. But the people from the opera troupe take turns going to Liaoning every year. In this way, the problem of teaching can be solved.”
Xingzong is an emperor after all, so why don't you understand? After these few days, they have all fallen. If the Bian opera troupe is left here, I am afraid that the DPRK and China will be in chaos, so he said boldly: "If Pu Guanze should lose, we Daliao will definitely make up for it. Although the two countries are brothers, There is absolutely no reason to embarrass your country, not to mention that the money is used by your country’s Salesian, and I can’t bear it. We can also subsidize the income of the troupe and artists.”
Seeing that Xingzong took the initiative to say that he wanted to cut the meat, Yun Yanhui smiled in the bottom of his heart and said, "That's really a tribute to the generosity of the lord of the country. Stage and layout. One is to give the Bian Opera Troupe a place to perform, and at the same time to commemorate the exchanges between our two countries."
Xingzong nodded again and again, "No problem, no problem, we will contribute."
Yun Yan replied: "Since the theater has been built, we are so embarrassed. Look, although there can't be too many people from the Bian Opera Troupe, Pu Guanze has other top performers, and we can also send them to perform."
Xingzong: "I've already heard about the grand occasion of the Great Song Dynasty. It's really good!" He paused for a while, and then said, "As soon as the subsidy is required, compare it to the Kong family class."
"That's so embarrassing..." Yun Yan replied shyly, "Then let's raise a glass together, for the sake of the friendship between the Northern and Southern Dynasties."
Everyone toasted and had a drink together, celebrating that the Bian Opera Troupe and even more Song Dynasty artists would perform in the Liao Kingdom for a long time.
As for the details, it was up to Liao's officials to discuss with them in detail.
Li Xingjian claimed that Song people loved their homeland, so they couldn't stop for too long. After all, there was still time on the road, and it was almost half a year, and they took shifts every six months. There is also a group about how many people, when these people perform in Liao, the status of treatment in various aspects, and how much compensation Liao will give, all have to be discussed in detail.
These Li Xingjian can be very good, just leave it to him.
Li Xingjian was very happy. The success of this transaction was not just a matter of how much money he made. You must know that these people were stationed in Wujingyi, and they had a little training before coming, just how many pairs of eyes were helping to keep an eye on the situation in Liao.
In the past six months, a lot of smuggled goods can still be entrained, which is another income.
Can Liao people think of this? It is true that some people can think of it, but the most eager idea of the people at present is to continue to listen to Bian opera. And they will feel that even if they stay, it will be fine as long as they take it seriously.
And Yun Yan recalled more, that is, let Kong Zhi entrain private goods in the playbook he made up, and this is a matter to be discussed in private.
Although Xingzong was slaughtered, he was very happy, and gave a lot of treasures to several Song envoys, and asked them to say hello to Renzong on his behalf.
Looking back at Xingzong, Yunyan is like watching a little sheep. All the losses and subsidies have been given, and a theater has been built. In the future, the Kong family class will open for business, and the Liao Kingdom will always be embarrassed to take it away, right
And since it is not a performance for a period of time, but a long period of stationing, the Liao people want to learn their true skills, so are they embarrassed not to pay tuition? If you're really nice, you won't learn anything.
There are still more places to harvest, and I don’t know if there are people in Liao who plant flowers, but even if there are no flower baskets, isn’t this a country with developed animal husbandry, you can send cattle and sheep!
