Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 538
Li You really couldn't recruit soldiers in Chang'an. No matter how Li You promised, the promise was still unbelievable. Compared with the land and the promise, the people believed in the land.

Although Li You has done many good deeds, the common people have their own little thoughts.

However, there is no doubt that there is no way out of the so-called mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers.

Li You's "The Peony Pavilion" ended soon. After the "Peony Pavilion" performance, Li You lined up for the second play, and the name of the play was "The Complete Story of the White Snake". Unlike later generations, Li You The content of this "The Complete Story of the White Snake" is not very much.

During the Han Dynasty, Xu Xuan, the king of the Bianzhou pharmacy, met the beautiful woman Bai Niangzi and her maid Qingqing (also known as Xiaoqing, Herring, and Green Snake) in the West Lake.

After the marriage, the white lady repeatedly appeared strange, perhaps unbearable.

Fahai, an eminent monk of Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, presented Xu with a bowl to cover his wife.Behind the white and green quilts, the original shape is revealed, which is the white snake and the herring that have been enlightened for thousands of years.Fahai then took his bowl and placed it in front of Leisi Peak, and asked people to build a seven-level pagoda on it, named Leifeng, and white and green in the pagoda forever.

The following plots such as the white lady stealing the ganoderma lucidum, flooding the golden mountain, Xu Xian's son Shilin offering sacrifices to the pagoda, Fa Haisui hiding in the belly of a crab to escape death, etc., are all nonexistent, and the white lady is still not calling at this time. Bai Suzhen is called Bai Suzhen, Xu Xuan is Xu Xuan, not Xu Xian, and the maid Qingqing is herring, not green snake or something.

This play is also a big hit, even surpassing "The Peony Pavilion". The White Snake is like a living Bodhisattva, and is the most ideal wife and mother in the eyes of many people in Chang'an.

Although the White Snake was related to Xu Xuan, although she had a marriage relationship of kindness in the previous life, she promised her with her body, but it was not the word "repaying kindness".It can be said that from the moment the lady saw Xu Xuan on the Broken Bridge in the pavilion, she had already violated the vow she made in front of the Bodhisattva that day in order to repay her kindness in order to ascend to heaven.

Before the lady knew that Xu Xuan was the benefactor of the previous life, she was deeply moved by Xu Xuan's honesty, honesty and handsomeness, and she already had interest in him. .

The kindness of the previous life is just an introduction, a red thread of a thousand years, the love of the wife and Xu Xuan after marriage is even more enviable and admirable.

After reading it, Li Shimin also sighed. He said that the white lady's love for Xu Xuan was great. She took her 800 years of practice as the richest dowry, sincerely loved Xu Xuan, and fully supported Xu Xuan.

The White Snake helped Xu Xuan open the business, and relying on all kinds of magical spells and scheming to make Baoan Tang's business flourish and become famous in one fell swoop, so that Xu Xuan almost became the leader of the Three Emperors Patriarchs Association.

There is a virtuous wife in the family, Xu Xuanzhen is extremely lucky, extremely happy, what more can a husband ask for if he has a wife like this.With such a virtuous and beautiful wife, I am really worried that I will spoil my husband.

Following Li You, I also learned from the gossip that Li Shimin went to the tomb of Empress Changsun after watching "The Complete Biography of the White Snake". Because he drove everyone away, everyone didn't know what Li Shimin did in front of the tomb of Changsun.

However, when he came back, someone said that Li Shimin's eyes were red, maybe he had cried in front of the tomb of Empress Changsun.

The most noticeable thing is that Fang Xuanling's wife, that is, the famous jealous wife, always compares herself to the white lady, saying that she, like the white lady, wholeheartedly takes care of the official, and can't bear to let him suffer. Wronged.

What happened to the bank in Qiantang treasury, on the way to Suzhou, the lady saw Xu Xuan wearing shackles, and she felt her heartbroken emotions.

What's more, after Duanyang's sudden change, the White Snake went to the Heavenly Palace without hesitation, went to Lingshan, risked her life, and did not hesitate to drink three glasses of realgar wine with the White Snake. .

At this moment, Fang Xuanling's wife was heard shouting angrily: "Fa Hai, you're a bald donkey!"

All of a sudden, everyone was shocked.

But Fang Xuanling's wife cried out in the end: "For the sake of Xu Xuan, the white lady has already forgotten about the practice of becoming a fairy. "As long as the officials and people have a good life, my sister would rather not become a fairy." sincere."

This remark caused everyone to nod in unison.

Later, Fang Xuanling's wife became Shao Yiyi's biggest and most supportive die-hard fan, and often came to Dunhuafang to play, and besides Fang Xuanling's wife, many other high-ranking officials' wives would also form a team to come to Dunhuafang. Li You took advantage of the opportunity to create a women's street in Dunhuafang. Only women are allowed in this street. The shoppers, sellers, and even the patrols are all women.

This street has also achieved success, which proves that Li You's mind is completely unconstrained, but it is very profitable.

Too much talk. Let’s talk about "The Peony Pavilion" here. After "The Complete Biography of the White Snake", it is of course impossible for Shao Yiyi, Xiao Yan and Cui Xiuniang's drama club to perform "The Peony Pavilion" again, but such dramas stop. Definitely not a thing to endorse.

So Li You made a decision, as long as you have a small theater troupe, then you can come and learn. Li You will give "The Peony Pavilion" to the small theater troupe for free. In this way, you can go to other cities in Datang go to show.

Soon, more than a dozen small opera troupes came to Dunhuafang to study, and Li You never refused to come. Not only did he teach them that they didn't charge a penny, but they also gave them free food and lodging during their stay in Dunhuafang.

Later, after these troupes learned to learn, they began to perform everywhere, but in order to appreciate Li You's free teaching and free food and drink, after the performance, these troupes publicized for Li You that Li You was recruiting soldiers for free, and also The salary of the recruited soldiers was clearly stated one by one. This was their reward to Li You.

Because of the popularity of "The Peony Pavilion", no matter which city they go to, a large number of people will come to watch it, and this kind of viewing has also spread the news of Li You recruiting soldiers to many places, and because of this, in Li You While worrying about recruiting soldiers, there are three places where a large number of young people have spontaneously prepared to go to Chang'an to recruit Li You's soldiers.

There was an epidemic in Xiangzhou, and Li You announced that he would live and die with the people of Xiangzhou. In Xiangzhou, Li You was the kindest person. It was Li You who brought the vaccine and cured Xiangzhou. Therefore, as long as Li You needs it, the people of Xiangzhou will help I will support Li You no matter what.

"It's all ready. If any of you are willing to go, come out and sign up! We will head to Chang'an tomorrow morning!"

Gu Dayou's voice sounded.

Gu Dayou is the man who once thought about sending his daughter out of Xiangzhou. He has a certain reputation among the people of Xiangzhou. After seeing the news of Li You recruiting soldiers this time.

He immediately stopped the young people in Xiangzhou from signing up, and the registration was very popular. In one night, about 25 young people in Xiangzhou signed up. The oldest was 16 years old, and the youngest was [-] years old. It is said that even Li Shimin did not have such a big influence when he came here to recruit troops.

"Uncle Dayou, take me with you too!"

Just as Gu Dayou's voice rang, a boy under the age of 16 came over.

"Huzi. I have already told you that you are too young. If you grow older, I will take you to Chang'an and become a soldier of His Royal Highness Qi!" Gu Dayou touched Huzi's head with his big hand touch.

But Huzi stubbornly moved Gu Dayou's hand away from his head and said: "Uncle Dayou, don't lie to me, His Royal Highness Qi Wang can't recruit soldiers every year, after this recruitment , I don't know when it will be recruited again.

Uncle Dayou, a man from Xiangzhou, who doesn't repay kindness for kindness and revenge for revenge.

I, Ren Hu, owed King Qi kindness. During the epidemic, I was buried in the soil. My mother cried so hard that no one came to save me. Saved back.

You said, do we want to repay the favor of King Qi! "

"Repaying kindness is of course, but you are too young, you have seen King Qi's guards before, do you think you can compare with them?" Gu Dayou smiled and looked at these young men from Xiangzhou.

"Don't look at me as skinny, but my body is full of tendons. Those boys in the next alley, none of them were kicked down by me, so Da Youshu, take me with you, and I will definitely be selected by His Royal Highness Qi Wang .” Ren Hu was very earnest.

Gu Dayou looked at Ren Hu in front of him, don't tell me, although this little guy is young, he is very brave. Generally, the kid in the alley in his 20s may not be his opponent, and this kid has shares Tenacity, to be honest, if he is old enough, Gu Dayou believes that this kid will definitely be among the soldiers recruited by King Qi this time.

However, this kid is a little young.

"Then what about your mother, you and your mother are the only ones in your family, who else can take care of your mother after you leave?" Gu Dayou looked at Ren Hu with some relief.

"Uncle Dayou, my mother said, go to Chang'an with me. When I become a soldier, I will be paid five guan a month. His Royal Highness Qi Wang said that there are other benefits, and there will be seven or eight guan in every calculation. I will eat and live They were all in the military camp, and all the money was given to my mother, who couldn't spend it all. At that time, we also settled in Dunhuafang.

Hehe everyone said that Dunhuafang is the most beautiful place in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a city that never sleeps. The street lights last all night until dawn. I have long wanted to go there. If I go there, I can not only repay His Highness King Qi, but also let my mother enjoy the blessings, really It kills two birds with one stone. "

"Yo, you kid can also say kill two birds with one stone!" Gu Dayou smiled and said, "Okay. Then count yourself as one, but if you are not selected, don't cry there!"

"I won't cry, thank you, Uncle, I will go back and tell my mother that we are going to Chang'an tomorrow!" Ren Hu jumped up happily.

Seeing the happy Ren Hu running home, Gu Dayou also laughed.
