please make me king

Chapter 1286 Famous Songs
"Zhang Shun steals his sister-in-law?" Zhang Shun was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said, "Let me watch the show!"

"Don't dare, the villain doesn't dare!" An actor dressed in colorful clothes below suddenly turned pale with fright, and quickly waved his hands.

"Shun... If the king of Shun wants to know the plot, he can read this book. It's just that this song was not made by a villain, so I ask the king of Shun, Wanwu, to spare his life!"

For a moment, a few actors sat down and kowtowed like smashing garlic, which immediately made Zhang Shun feel that this play was not a good one.

"Okay, then the king will take it and have a look!" Zhang Shun sneered, reached out and grabbed the book to have a look.

I saw the libretto in the book: "Xiaosheng's family lives in Suide City, his surname is Zhang Mingshun, and the characters are reversed. Lu Fengxian was originally my previous life."

"There are two sworn brothers who are sworn brothers. The elder is Mizhi Li Chuangwang, and the second is Luo Zei whose family is in Yan'an City."

"Now the three of us have come to the realization that we have the same blessings, the same suffering, the same life, and the same death, and we have a name."

"Today I heard that my brother kidnapped a woman whose surname is Xing, who looks like a flower, like a jade, like a jade..."

"Hehe!" Zhang Shun watched all the way, almost annoyed himself.

It turns out that the general plot of this play is as follows: There are three people who are naturally rebellious, namely "Crossing Bandit", "Cao Bandit" and "Shun Bandit".

The three of them imitated Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan to become sworn brothers and vowed to die together. They never thought that the elder brother "burglar" would rob the beautiful Xing family and take him as his wife.

The "Shun thief" was interested in seeing the color, and was afraid that the brotherhood would be ridiculed and made people laugh, so he secretly showed his favor to Xing.

After coming and going, Xing was confused by him, so he had an affair with him.

Unexpectedly, this matter was discovered by the second brother "Cao thief" and went to catch the adulterer.

The third younger brother "Shun thief" pretended to repent, wept bitterly, and took advantage of "Cao thief"'s soft heart, stabbed him to death with a knife.

At this moment, the eldest brother "the thief" arrived, and a fire broke out immediately.

When "Cao Thief" was dying, he quickly persuaded "Crossing Thief" that "women are like clothes, brothers are like brothers and feet, don't break brotherhood".

"Cross thief" thought for a long time, and finally reluctantly gave up his wife Xing to "Shun thief", and then picked up "Cao thief"'s body and parted ways with him.

Zhang Shun didn't know whether to laugh or cry at first, and then his hair stood on end.

Sure enough, it is a literati's pen and a murderous knife!

There are nine falsehoods and one truth in this play, and there are a lot of pretentious things in it, which seem to be insignificant, but in fact it perfectly fits the bright spots of novelty hunting, amorous feelings, and love killings.

If it is ignored, within a few years "Zhang Shun kills his brother and steals his sister-in-law" will become famous all over the country.

It doesn't matter what the truth is, what matters is what ordinary people believe.

In the early Ming Dynasty, many stories about Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were well-proportioned, such as the extermination of ten ethnic groups, and the "transfer to camp and camp" are well-known. It is not that historical facts are better than historical facts, which makes people indisputable.

And for Zhang Shun, it's not just a matter of bad reputation.

If this opera is spread, not only his own prestige will be affected, but also the delicate relationship between him and Li Zicheng will definitely be severely damaged.

How to do?How to do?
"King Shun, please kill this person quickly, lest the three of them become tigers and ruin King Shun's reputation!" Sun Chuanting hurriedly stepped forward to remonstrate.

In fact, Sun Chuanting is obviously more concerned about Zhang Shun's reputation than possibly ruining the relationship between Zhang Shun and Li Zicheng.

As a monarch, playing with women is not a big deal, but playing with sworn brothers and subordinates' women is a big deal.

Now that the world has not yet been unified, so if the hearts of the people in the world are cut off, that is a big deal. That's why Sun Chuanting made this proposal.

"It's just the words of a villager and a fool, how can he commit killing in such a vain way?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun half-closed his eyes and smiled slightly.

"King Shun..." Sun Chuanting also said that Zhang Shun didn't understand the power of it, and needed to be persuaded.

Unexpectedly, I heard Zhang Shun continue: "In my opinion, there are a lot of speculation in this play."

"If it only insults me and General Li, it's fine, but why is the girl in the boudoir treated like this?"

"It should be right to clear the source and return the innocence!"

"The meaning of King Shun is..." Sun Chuanting looked bewildered, and thought to himself: I have heard about the grievances between you and Li Zicheng from as far away as the Ming court. Could it be that there is something hidden in it?
Sure enough, I only heard Zhang Shun say: "The plot of this story is like this."

"It used to be that the lady Nan was twenty-eight years old. She was born in an official family and was waiting to be married. Unfortunately, she suffered a disaster and fell into the hands of thieves."

"The big thief was greedy for Nan's beauty, and wanted to force her to marry Mrs. Yazhai. Unexpectedly, the two thieves also had the same idea. There was a quarrel between the two sides, and Nan took the opportunity to sow discord to keep his innocence."

"Just when the Nan family was struggling to support themselves, the big thief and the second thief suddenly changed their temperaments. Instead, they rectified military discipline and released the captive men and women."

"Nan's heart is strange. I eavesdropped in private and found out that the big thief and the second thief have the 'Leader of the Thirty-sixth Battalion of the Rebel Army'. He is the most heroic man, and he specializes in restraining the thieves from breaking the law."

"The Nan family waited for several days, and finally waited for the 'Thirty-six Battalion Leader' to come to inspect. The big thief and the second thief played tricks, which made the leader quite happy."

"Unexpectedly, the Nan clan suddenly jumped out and reported the two thieves. After the lord judged the case, he beheaded the two thieves who robbed the women, punished the big thief who was about to rape the Nan clan, and then sent people to send the Nan clan to each other. go home."

"In the end, I didn't expect that the Nan family thought that she was captured by thieves. They couldn't keep their integrity and humiliated the family. They didn't let her in at all."

"Thus, the heavens and the earth are big, and the Nan family is homeless. Thinking of the life-saving grace of the 'Thirty-six Battalion Leader', they promised each other with their bodies, and it became a good story!"

"This song is divided into six parts, which are: thinking about spring, suffering, alienation, wiretapping, grievance, and promise, all from Nan's perspective."

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Sun Chuanting was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help clapping his palms and said happily, "I didn't expect King Shun to have such a talent."

It turns out that since the mid-Ming Dynasty, opera has gradually entered the halls and become a thing sought after by literati.

All the rich and powerful families bought female servants and children, raised livestock classes, wrote songs and lyrics, performed and rehearsed, and became a big name.

Its basic feature is that one is "creating a biography for the boudoir", writing about love and love, such as "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion".

One is to distinguish right from wrong in loyalty and treachery, so as to rectify the morality of the world.Such as "Huansha Ji", "Bingshan Ji" and so on.

The "Zhang Shun Stealing Wife" made by the Ming court before was not only extremely crude, but also had a lot of obscenity and robbery plots during the period.

However, Zhang Shun's new work unfolds from the perspective of the heroine Nan Shi, reflecting the sufferings of ordinary people in the late Ming Dynasty, revealing the social reality of "officials are like thieves, and thieves are like officials". Clean up the filth with your hands, and return the society to a brighter world.

Not only is it similar to the themes of operas in the late Ming Dynasty, but it also has two songs in one throat, and at the same time it combines love stories with loyalty and treachery.

"It's just that the original name doesn't match the reality. I don't know what to change it to?" Sun Chuanting couldn't help laughing again.

As soon as this drama comes out, everyone will only appreciate the virtue of "the leader of the Thirty-Six Battalions, King Shun", so why do you care about whether to steal his wife or not?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need to change it, the original name is a pretentious surprise, which is just right for the fire!"

Do you know what a headline party is?This is called the title party!
Although the fashion gradually developed in the Ming Dynasty, songs full of obscenity and banditry were difficult to enter the hall of elegance.

In the Ming Dynasty, operas were mainly performed by family troupes. If they treated guests in this way, wouldn't it be insulting to the lintel and family tradition?

Therefore, this opera is just used to mix the fake with the real, and replace the vulgar with elegance.
