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

"It doesn't matter, Li Qingzhao's play will definitely fail. I am familiar with history books, but I have never heard of women going to war in the Song Dynasty. There are no female generals from the Yang family. It is just a random fabrication and nonsense." Cheng Yi scolded coldly. road.

The disciples of Neo-Confucianism nodded slightly. They naturally knew about the loyal deeds of the Yang family and admired them greatly. However, when the soldiers of the Song Dynasty fought on the battlefield, there was no such thing as a woman as a general.

Such an obvious loophole can be seen by anyone who is not blind.

Cheng Yi sneered: "This time, I want to see if Li Qingzhao has any excuses. Not to mention me, even the Yang family probably won't let her go."

Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei happened in the previous dynasty, and it was also based on Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow". They had nothing to say in the first opera.

However, the story of the Yang family happened in this dynasty, and everyone knew it. How could Li Qingzhao be allowed to mess around? Cheng Yi believed that this move would definitely arouse opposition from the government and the public, and Li Qingzhao would shoot himself in the foot.

"Master is wise!" All the disciples complimented one after another.

The Neo-Confucian school was rigorous in scholarship, but the opera first violated morals and promoted love, and then arbitrarily tampered with historical facts, so it was naturally not tolerated by the Neo-Confucian school.

Cheng Yi sneered and suddenly asked: "Where is the invitation letter for this opera?"

The disciple couldn't help but was stunned, shook his head and said: "Master Qi, this time, the Li family did not send an invitation letter to Master!"

"what!"

Cheng Yi couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that Li Qingzhao did such a great job and didn't even send him an invitation letter.

"Only villains and women are hard to raise! It's just a penny, go buy a ticket!" Cheng Yi's face darkened and he said angrily.

The disciple couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "Master, I don't know. Tickets for the opera are indeed one penny each. However, many front row seats are extremely tight, causing people to rush to buy them. There are even many people queuing up overnight to buy front row seats and sell them to others at a higher price." thing."

"As a result, the ticket price for the opera has also been changed. The seats in the front row closest to the stage have risen to a hundred cents, while only the farthest and most remote seats cost one cent."

Fan Zheng also did not expect that in order to promote the opera, he set the ticket price at one penny, which actually gave birth to scalpers in advance. He had no choice but to sell tickets at the tiered prices of later generations. Even so, scalpers were still not completely banned.

"This is happening!" Cheng Yi frowned.

"And this is the first performance of the second opera. People in Kaifeng will definitely rush to see it. I'm afraid you may not be able to buy a seat in the front row for a hundred cents." The disciple said with a wry smile.

"Go buy it now! No matter how much it costs, buy me a front-row seat. This time, I want to see how the fabricated "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" can support the righteousness of the third generation of literary genres." Cheng Yi He snorted coldly.

The disciple had no choice but to buy it quickly.

However, the first performance of the second opera was so influential that many people were tired of watching The Legend of Yang Guifei and were looking forward to the second opera.

In the end, the disciple spent a lot of money to buy back a position that was not at the top from others, and finally satisfied Cheng Yi's request.

The same thing is performed all over Kaifeng City, and even the lowest price of a penny ticket has risen to about ten pence, which shows how curious everyone is about the emerging opera.

........................

With much anticipation, the second opera "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" officially begins.

There were once again crowds of people inside and outside the Cuju venue. This time, both those who had gotten tickets and those who had not gotten tickets were all looking forward to today’s performance.

If this performance is successful again, then Li Qingzhao's status as the founder of the sect will be completely stable, and opera will welcome a large number of literati to join, and will lead the third generation of literary genres.

"The Yang family is here too!"

Suddenly, the Yang family members were invited, attracting everyone's attention.

The Yang family is full of loyal people but has a small population. Even after several generations of reproduction, it is still difficult to prosper. This is also the reason why the Yang family gradually declined as a general.

Li Qingzhao decided to compose a play to praise the loyalty of the Yang family. The Yang family happily complied and cooperated with it.

However, when the opera came out, the original general of the Yang family turned into a female general of the Yang family, which made the Yang family feel anxious.

Now that the play is being performed for the first time, the Yang family was invited by Li Qingzhao and immediately came to find out.

As time goes by, more and more literary seniors are invited to come.

Those who are not invited will spend a lot of money to buy tickets to find out. Cheng Yi is one of them.

"Female General of the Yang Clan!"

Cheng Yi looked at the four big characters hanging high outside the Cuju venue and couldn't help but snorted coldly. If "The Female General of the Yang Family" dared to make it up, then don't blame them for joining the Yang family to sue the court, completely making the opera unable to turn around.

Of course, Cheng Yi has another evil plan. He naturally knows that the grievances between the Yang family and the Pan family according to folklore are not fabricated. If "The Female General of the Yang Family" restores the grievances at that time, Pan Mei will inevitably be involved, and the Pan family will not tolerate it. The next drama.

"Boom boom boom!"

With the exciting sound of military drums, the stage kicked off.

The opera "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" officially begins.

"In the Song-Liao War, Yang Ye guarded Yanmen Pass and defeated the Liao army, which shocked the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom was afraid of Yang Ye and planned to ambush Yang Ye. He died in a fierce battle..."

As the background of the female generals of the Yang family gradually unfolded, the Yang family fought against the Liao Kingdom in the north. Seven sons of the Yang family died in the battle one after another. Only Liulang Yang Yanzhao survived, leaving one son Yang Zongbao. In the end, Yang died for the country in the battle against Xixia. There are only a group of old, weak, women and children left in the family.

Everyone in the Yang family couldn't help crying when they saw this scene. Although the female generals of the Yang family were fabricated, it was absolutely true that the Yang family men died in battle one after another. The Yang family had paid too much for the Song Dynasty.

However, the next plot made everyone in the Yang family frown. Xixia invaded again, the border was in crisis, and the Song Dynasty was in danger. Mrs. She and the third wife of the Yang family, Mu Guiying, decided to personally take command and lead the troops to fight against Xixia. .

"How is this possible? There is no such thing as a woman going to war in the Song Dynasty!"

Under the stands, many literati were talking about it. Although the Song Dynasty was called a weak Song Dynasty, it still had an army of 1.2 million. There was no reason to let women go to war, and they were a group of women and children.

"Moreover, there are no Mrs. She and Mu Guiying in the Yang family. Marshal Yang Ye's wife's surname is Zhe, and the third wife is not Mu Guiying." A person who knew the Yang family frowned.

Everyone was talking a lot and watching the plot with puzzled faces.

"I know, it's a homophonic word! Old Taijun Zhe's surname and She are homophonic in different words." A scholar suddenly realized.

"Why is this so unnecessary?" Others asked puzzledly, why use different words since they are homophones.

The literati said with admiration: "Because this opera was written, it was naturally impossible for Mrs. Zhe to go to the battlefield, so the incident of Mrs. She happened, and the same happened to Mu Guiying. In this way, the inevitable can be avoided He can arbitrarily discuss government orders and avoid elders."

"Everyone Li really has good intentions!"

Everyone was amazed. In this way, even if something went wrong in the opera, they could still explain it to the Yang family.
