The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"The teacher asked us to spread the conspiracy theory of the imperial court everywhere. Yan Song is a treacherous minister who controls public opinion and leads the people to be angry. As a result, these newspapers are demagogic!" Liu Xiucai took out a copy of the paper from his tattered sleeves. Newspaper, mourning: "I was beaten up by the gangsters in order to snatch this newspaper."

Zhang Xiucai was very depressed: "In the past, the troublemakers were illiterate, and we scholars were masters in their eyes. We are what we say. Who would have thought that each of these newspapers would be full of cartoons, explaining the cause and effect clearly. We want to If you want to spread rumors, you can't do it by inciting the people."

"Rites are broken and music is ruined!" Liu Xiucai lamented: "No one listens to the saint's etiquette, and everyone believes these newspapers."

The two scholars were angry, but they heard the sound of gongs and drums from the storytelling booth in front of them.

That's when the storyteller is about to start speaking.

As soon as the storyteller opened his mouth, he drove the two scholars to death with anger.

"One dozen bamboo boards, let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the adventures of Emperor Jiajing's assassination in Chengtian Mansion today. Let's talk about the various treasonable and illegal things of these big dogs in the southeast!"

The storyteller took out a large newspaper, the entire page was full of cartoons, depicting the various thrills of Emperor Jiajing's dragon boat being assassinated in Chengtian Mansion, hanging on the wooden board behind, as a background and display board, and began to speak vividly.

The common people listened with gusto and saw clearly, bursting into roars from time to time.

"Kill the big dogs to death!"

"For the sake of being rich and unkind, forget about it in the fish and meat village, but this time it's actually on the emperor's mind!"

"It's not easy for us in the southeast to live, and we don't want to rebel!"

"It's 730! These officials and rich men are capable of wrestling with the emperor, so don't get involved with us!"

The two scholars, Zhang and Liu, were startled and angry, and looked at each other: "It's unreasonable! Go to the teacher and report to the government!"

The teachers of these scholars all colluded with the famous families and the government, and they will send out the yamen servants to arrest them later, so as to show these guys who spread the news, kick the truth, and accuse the big clans!

But unexpectedly, the Kunqu opera "Cheng Tian Zi Meng Nan Ji" was sung again on the theater building next to it.

Following Yan Song's strong promotion of Kunqu Opera, Chen Yuanyuan's three operas [Ding Fengbo], [Haiboping], and [Xiaoshan Chaos] are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Kunqu Opera quickly took root in the southeast and became an art form loved by all walks of life. Family.

Theater buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Although the level is uneven, they are cheap.Two copper coins can be used for a day, if you are willing to add three copper coins, you will have tea, and if you are willing to add ten copper coins, you can even settle for lunch. Two dishes and one soup are very beautiful.

The leading actors are usually young and beautiful dan roles, and their costumes are modeled after Chen Yuanyuan who is beside Yan Song.

Chapter 381 Powerless to Resist [3]

Just after the Jiajing Southern Tour, the current opera houses in Hangzhou are really hot

In these theaters, one by one sang "Cheng Tianzi's Difficulty Remembering".

This is an 18-stanza chant that Yan Song asked Tang Xianzu to compose overnight.It has no complicated drama, only 18 libretto, but it is suitable for the current Kunqu opera troupes with different levels, and it is easy to promote and spread. Anyway, what Yan Song wants is a promotion effect.

"It's said that Emperor Jiajing's southern tour was originally a prosperous age of destiny, but he had no choice but to touch the meat of the southeast dog's big family, and the city fox and society mouse jumped up and down..."

Listening to Huadan's resounding libretto in this theater building, the two scholars almost fainted from anger.

The teacher ordered them to let a dozen of their classmates control public opinion. Why did the royalists have already used multiple approaches to infiltrate infinitely, acting, storytelling, and newspapers, leading the people's cognition away?

Now they feel that the anger of the people in the southeast has completely erupted against the big gentry and businessmen who have oppressed them. Let alone support these gentry whose homes have been confiscated, and go to make troubles to put pressure on the court, can they take the opportunity to beat the dog in the water without making trouble? Revenge would be nice.

The two scholars were wandering, but suddenly saw the teacher.

The teacher of Xiucai is a Jinshi who has become an official.

Now, this premise student turned pale with anger, and had a lot of rotten eggs thrown on him. He obviously came out to try to control public opinion, but he was despised by the people, and the literary fight was upgraded to a violent one, and he suffered a big loss.

"teacher!"

"My lord!"

The two scholars hurried up to support the premise school.

Tixue gritted his teeth, and said with a ferocious face: "They are all crazy! These ordinary people are crazy! They think they have Yan Song backing them, so they dare to despise the village like this?"

He squeezed out a gloomy sentence from between his teeth: "Follow me to see the county magistrate! I will let them know that Yan Song, the imperial court, is far away, but the county government is very close! Let them know what is a magistrate who breaks the door, who destroys the door County magistrate!"

He didn't talk nonsense, and took the students to find the county government and met the county magistrate.

What boosted the morale of the scholars was that the county magistrate was also an official from a big family, and at this time he was also very angry at the situation reported from various places.

"Master of the county!" The senior official who was promoted was not polite, and cupped his hands and said: "Now under your rule, these unscrupulous people wantonly attack decent gentry and slander wealthy families, they are simply not human beings! If someone impeaches them, I'm afraid even the magistrate of the county can't afford it."

By the end, he was threatening.

The county magistrate snorted coldly: "You don't need to say it, the county understands it too! But what should I do?"

Zhishi Tixue said gloomyly: "Since the troublemakers are causing trouble, then send three classes of government servants to arrest and beat them! See if their mouths are strong, or our board is the best!"

The county magistrate thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "But they are all playing the banner of the emperor, so will there be any trouble?"

The former Tixue said in a dark way: "Your Excellency, don't worry, I have gathered several times to discuss with the famous families in Zhejiang. If there is a way, the law does not punish the public. We will fight and arrest all of them. If we punish the troublemakers, the court will know about it." Now, there is no way to replace all the officials in Zhejiang, right?"

As soon as the county magistrate heard that the officialdom and powerful families in Zhejiang had reached an agreement, he immediately gained confidence. Arrest all nonsense storytellers, opera singers, newspaper sellers, and newspaper readers!

A county magistrate usually supports three shifts of yamen servants with more than 500 people.The so-called three classes of yamen servants, three classes of yamen servants: the Zao, Zhuang, and Kuai three classes of yamen servants, the Zao class is on duty, the fast class is responsible for arrests, and the strong class is poor in performance. The 500 people, led by the leader of the third class of Yamen servants, immediately lined up with a murderous look.

The former tixue and scholars volunteered to be the leading party, each with bright eyes, arrogantly led the servants, and returned to the theaters, restaurants, and teahouses where they were beaten just now.

Seeing those unruly people still watching the show and applauding, they were so angry that they shouted and ordered the yamen servants to rush in and arrest them.

Of course the people were unwilling, and burst into roars.

But helplessly, these are all government offices, and if they frighten people, those people who don't have a name can only give in helplessly.
