Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Chapter 284 Opera "The Female General of the Yang Family"

"Master!"

Suddenly, Li Qingzhao approached him with a flattering look on his face and said softly.

"What?"

Fan Zheng said with a vigilant look on his face. Li Qingzhao's sudden tenderness made him feel bad.

Li Qingzhao took the music manuscript in his hand, placed it in front of Fan Zheng, and said to please: "This is my music manuscript, please give me some advice."

Li Qingzhao knew that although she was the founder of the sect of quju, quju could become an instant hit. Without Fan Zheng's guidance, she might not have been able to create "The Legend of Concubine Yang" so quickly! "

This time Fan Zheng proposed to compile the story of Yang Jiajiang and Bao Qingtian. He obviously thought it was the most suitable way to write a musical. Since there was such a shortcut around him, Li Qingzhao would not let it go.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect Li Qingzhao to be so smart, so he had no choice but to pick up the opera and work as a coolie.

Li Qingzhao on the side couldn't help but smile slyly.

However, Fan Zheng glanced at the opera carefully written by Li Qingzhao, shook his head and said: "If you directly write the Yang family father and son, I am afraid it will cause controversy between the government and the public. After all, the death of Yang Ye and his son was controversial back then. Now there is also controversy over Pan Mei’s refusal to save her!”

Li Qingzhao frowned. The Pan family was also a famous family in the Song Dynasty. Although it has declined now, it still has great energy. If you directly arrange this period of history, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction with the Pan family. However, the opera has just been born, so it is really not suitable to bring it. Too much controversy.

"Then for the sake of my father-in-law?" Li Qingzhao asked.

Fan Zheng thought for a while and said: "The most important reason why the imperial court agreed to compile the opera was to make a three-law agreement between the husband and the court, and not to discuss the government affairs arbitrarily. Therefore, if the opera "Yang Family General" wants to succeed, it must not only avoid the government affairs, but also publicize it. A matter of loyalty to the Yang family.”

"But in this case, wouldn't it be contrary to historical facts?" Li Qingzhao said anxiously.

Fan Zheng spread his hands and said: "You are writing operas, not history books. Is the Song of Everlasting Sorrow in Bai Juyi really true that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty really met Yang Yuhuan in an overseas fairy mountain?"

Li Qingzhao suddenly became thoughtful.

Fan Zheng continued his analysis: "Since the story of the Yang family's father and son cannot be edited too much, it can be made into a drama about the Yang family's widows and publicize that there are only women and children left in the family, and still form the Yang family's female generals to serve the country, wouldn't it? Better results."

"Female general of the Yang clan?" Li Qingzhao asked half-convinced.

Fan Zheng explained: "This has two benefits. First, it can avoid the grievances over the death of the Yang family's father and son, thereby avoiding disputes. Second, most of the people who are good at singing are women, and the female generals of the Yang family can have enough actors to play them. Get twice the result with half the effort.”

Li Qingzhao was immediately convinced. After all, what Fan Zheng said was true. Directly arranging the female generals of the Yang family was indeed the most suitable for the current situation of opera.

Fan Zheng solemnly said: "Among the women of the Yang family, there are two most crucial ones. One is the widow of Old General Yang, whose longevity is over 100 years old and was the Yang family's Dinghai magic needle in those days. The second is the third generation housewife of the Yang family. It is said that both of them are extraordinary women who are as good as women."

Li Qingzhao looked through the genealogy sent by the Yang family and found that the two were indeed the pillars of the Yang family, and both were martial arts practitioners. More importantly, both of them had passed away, so no one questioned how they compiled it.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Madam, you can imagine that three generations of the Yang family died fighting for the country, leaving only women and children in the family. When the country is in crisis and foreign enemies invade, the female generals of the Yang family will reach centenarians, including the housewife of the Yang family. The girls who went down to Yang's house to light the fire were all duty-bound to fight for their country. Wouldn't it be even more inspiring?

The reason why Fan Zheng proposed to write "Yang Family Generals" was that the Song Dynasty lacked blood. Once the opera "Yang Family Generals" appeared in advance in the Song Dynasty, it would definitely make countless men of the Song Dynasty feel ashamed and pass on the concept of protecting the family and the country. All over the world, changing the current situation of poverty and weakness in the Song Dynasty.

"You can give it a try!"

Li Qingzhao's eyes lit up and he said.

"Okay, it's time to rest this time!" Fan Zheng whispered in Li Qingzhao's ear after solving Li Qingzhao's troubles.

Li Qingzhao felt the hot air blowing by his ears, and couldn't help but blush. He suddenly knew that he had taken a shortcut by using Fan Zheng, and it was time for Fan Zheng to take a shortcut.

"Although The Legend of Concubine Yang is indeed exciting, watching it every day always feels boring!"

Outside Shanghe Garden, another opera "The Legend of Concubine Yang" ended! Many people in Kaifeng were amazed but distressed.

As the saying goes, even if you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, there will be a day when you get tired of it. Although "The Legend of Yang Guifei" is extremely classic, there is currently only one opera. As the number of performances increases, more and more people in Kaifeng have watched it. Pass this drama.

The first time I watched it, I was naturally amazed, and the second time I watched it, it was just as exciting. However, many people have watched it many times in a row, and every time it was this drama, which naturally made many people feel uninterested.

Many people nodded slightly. Opera is more affordable and more interesting than listening to music in Goulan. It has become a pastime for everyone in Kaifeng City.

"The Li family's second drama "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" will be staged soon!"

Then the news came and immediately caused a sensation in Kaifeng City.

"Another opera! Finally, I don't have to listen to "The Legend of Concubine Yang" every day!" Many Kaifeng citizens said with joy.

"The Legend of Concubine Yang" is so exciting, the second part "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" must be equally good, which makes the people of Kaifeng look forward to it.

"Second musical drama!"

This news was also like a thunderbolt in the Kaifeng literary world.

"The Legend of Concubine Yang" is Fan Zheng's first song. No matter how amazing it is, it is just one song per person. How dare it be compared with Song Ci at its peak.

If after a while, no more classic operas are born, the so-called third-generation literary genre in Li Qingzhao’s mouth will become a joke.

No one expected that Li Qingzhao would launch his second opera so quickly. If this opera is as exciting as "The Legend of Concubine Yang", it means that operas can be derived, and Li Qingzhao will completely achieve the reputation of establishing a sect.

"I heard that Li Qingzhao is still openly recruiting actors who are good at singing to join the opera in Kaifeng City, and also invites many talents who are talented but not in decline to compose music for the opera." A disciple of Neo-Confucianism said solemnly to Cheng Yi.

"Li Qingzhao's ambition is not small." Cheng Yi said solemnly.

There are many unappreciated talents in Kaifeng City. They fail to succeed in many trials and are self-righteous. They recite poems and lyrics all day long and hang out in brothels. Liu Yong is one of the representatives.

Nowadays, they have repeatedly failed in the imperial examinations and are unwilling to stoop down to serve as masters. The opera that has just been created and has great prospects may be the place where they can show their talents.

Therefore, this second opera "The Female General of the Yang Family" will be the most important one in determining opera. Once successful, it will not only consolidate Li Qingzhao's reputation as a master of opera, but also attract a large number of talents to join the opera.

By then, Quju will shine brightly on the basis of Song lyrics and completely become a third-generation literary genre.
