Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 180 Zhao's Orphan
Ding Mei and Su Mu are a couple and old fans who have listened to Peking Opera for more than 20 years.

This time Li Shaobai and Shen Yuelou caused such a big commotion in Liyuan, they were naturally very concerned.

Ding Mei is a fan of Li Shaobai, while Su Mu likes Shen Yuelou in Tsing Yi, so they bought tickets for both plays.

In the morning show, the "Five Righteous Men" by Chunqiu Drama Club was strong enough, and the actors performed very well. The audience responded enthusiastically, which made Su Mu, who is devoted to Shen Yuelou, feel a little bit worried for Boss Shen.

It takes half a month to write a new play and release it, the time is too tight.

Moreover, although the cast members sent by Boss Shen are more popular with fans, the four old actors from the Spring and Autumn Drama Club are more qualified in the troupe. Li Shaobai is a little bit, isn't Boss Shen going to quit Yanjing Liyuan?
Sighing lightly, Su Mu sat quietly in his seat and began to glance around.

Judging from the seats, the audience for this show is much smaller than that of the morning show. It may be that they are too tired after watching a play in the morning, or it may be that the famous drama "Five Justices" handed down is better than the "Five Righteous Men" performed by Boss Shen. "The Orphan of Zhao" is even more attractive to them.

I hope Boss Shen can win!
More than ten minutes later, with the sound of Jinghu and drums, the red curtain slowly opened, and "The Orphan of Zhao" officially started.

There is a song in front of the scene, Jijifeng card.

The first general and the second lieutenant general hadn't played yet, and the eighth school lieutenant turned over a dozen somersaults on the stage first.

The somersault was fast and steady, and it was hard work, which directly lifted the spirits of the audience.

"Okay, Cai Cai Cai."

"It's such a big show, it seems like a big show."

"Hahaha, it's beautiful, I hope Boss Shen's play can beat Li Shaobai."

……

The eight school lieutenants immediately stood in four directions after somersaulting. The lead general Tu An Jia Longxing, played by Chen Qingkui, walked to the middle of the stage, followed closely by the two lieutenants Ling Che and Zhou Jian, and there was another co-leader Pei Bao holding the mastiff in the side screen The dog stands at the entrance of the Dabian platform.

Chen Qingkui was wearing a purple gold crown with feathers inserted in the back, a black mantle, a red python jade belt, colorful trousers, and thick-soled boots. When the big gong played by the drum master Xu Zhiqing sounded, he stared and said: Said: "People don't harm the tiger's heart, but the tiger hurts people's mind; if you don't enjoy yourself at the time, you will be naughty later.

A certain is Tu Anjia, a general of the State of Jin.

My lord Linggong is on the throne and has thousands of civil and military personnel, but he trusts only one civil servant and one military officer: the literary man is Zhao Dun, and the military man is a certain person.

The two of us are at odds with each other in civil and military affairs, and we often have the heart to hurt Zhao Dun, so why can't we fight? "

Tu Anjia finished expressing his heart secretly, and then called out to the two people around him: "Ling Che, Zhou Jian."

As soon as the big gong sounded, the two lieutenants said in unison, "Yes!"

Tu Anjia recited a rhyme: "When I was young, my lord and I had a banquet in Jiangxiao Tower, and I ordered you two to keep the Taoyuan!"

Wusheng Liu Yuesong and Liu Yuebai, who played Ling Che and Zhou Jian, said together: "Yes!"

The gong sounded again, and Zhou Jian and Ling Che led the eight captains to turn around.

Tu Anjia came to the peach garden, there were three palace guards, four maids, and two eunuchs in the peach garden, the scene was still very big.

Surrounded by everyone, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow python jade belt, colorful trousers and a flat sky crown walked slowly to the front of the stage.

Tu Anjia smiled obsequiously, and quickly stooped to stand beside the middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man is Jin Linggong Ji Yigao, and the actor who plays Jin Linggong is Geng Changgeng, a buffoon from the Lou Troupe.

If a foolish ruler and a treacherous minister get together, naturally nothing good will happen.

Jin Linggong wanted to drink for fun, but he was tired of the singing and dancing of beautiful women.

Tu Anjia gave him an idea. The two monarchs and ministers held slingshots and hit the heads of the people passing by Jiangxiao Tower. The one with the most heads won.

Jin Linggong was very interested, so he couldn't help singing a piece of Xipi sanban: "In order to relieve worries, let the bullets be released, and beat a few people to relax. The slingshot hits repeatedly, and the people who are only beaten have nowhere to hide."

This Taoyuan slingshot scene made the audience very angry. Su Mu couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart: He takes pleasure in teasing innocent people. This Duke Ling of Jin is really hateful. The treacherous minister Tu'an Jia Geng who gave him such an idea hateful.

The absurd behavior of this pair of monarchs and ministers can make the audience outside the play feel righteous indignation, and naturally it also arouses the dissatisfaction of the upright ministers in the play.

Wei Jiang, the senior minister of the Jin State, played by the famous painted face Xu Zhaolin, and Gongsun Peijiu, the senior official of the Jin State, played by Zhu Yueming, a veteran of the "Lou Theater Troupe", came together to advise Jin Linggong.

After some stern words, Wei Jiang and Gongsun Chujiu saw that the persuasion failed, so they began to curse Tu Anjia.

Wei Jiang said to Tu Anjia: "You seduce the king with wine and sex, supervise the construction of Jiangxiao Tower, waste the people and waste money; today you beat the people again, you want to trap the lord in injustice."

Gongsun Usuki immediately echoed, "You are putting the people in danger."

Wei Jiang pointed at Tu'an Judd's nose and cursed: "A generation like you who will bring disaster to the country and the people,"

Gongsun Usuki immediately echoed, "It's true that death deserves more!"

Wei Jiang and Gongsun Jiuji sang on the stage and harmonized the lyrics as if they were talking about cross talk, which made the audience laugh, but made Tu Anjia in the play very angry.

Tu Anjia cursed loudly: "Old man, die!"

He stood up, drew his sword, and wanted to fight for Wei Jiang and Gongsun Usuki.

Wei Jiang was originally a military commander, so he didn't fear him, so he drew his sword and was about to attack him.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing that the scene was going to be chaotic, Duke Ling of Jin hurriedly dissuaded him: "What's the fuss about such trivial things as building a building and beating people with a slingshot?

Wei Qing, you have to lead troops to go out tomorrow, so go back to your residence and rest! "

"This?"

Hearing Duke Ling of Jin's words, Wei Jiang immediately heard the protection of Tu Anjia and the connotation of herself in the voice of the lord.

He felt unhappy, but he couldn't disobey his order from Jin Linggong, so he could only bow his fists and retreat sadly.

When Gongsun Usuki saw Wei Jiang being treated so coldly, he was furious in his heart, and quickly said to Duke Ling of Jin angrily, "My lord, I am old and cannot serve you in court.

Please allow the old minister to resign and return to the forest! "

Gongsun Usuki originally wanted to threaten to sue his old age and return to his hometown, but Jin Linggong had long thought that he was not pleasing to the eye.

As soon as he asked to resign, Jin Linggong just pushed the boat along the way: "Well, Dr. Gongsun is over seventy years old and has reached the age of old age. You can play what you play, and you can go back to your hometown."

Feeling helpless, Gongsun Chujiu sighed and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your compassion!"

After leaving Taoyuan, two loyal ministers met. Xu Zhaolin, who played the role of Wei Jiang, couldn't help but sing a piece of Xipi sanban in a colorful accent: "My lord does not listen to loyal advice."

Zhu Yueming, the old student who played Gongsun Jiuchu, made a gesture of his body and immediately sang in the old man's accent: "Resign from duty and return to the country estate."

After singing this passage, Zhu Yueming exited from the gate of the next stage. The tall and burly, painted face Xu Zhaolin shook his head and shook his hands, sighed and sang: "I was ordered to go to the frontier to fight, and when I come back from victory, I will destroy the treachery."
