Chapter 210 Fahai

"There's no need to be too polite. Does Xue Qing know, what's the purpose of letting you concurrently serve as Tai Le Cheng?"

I ask the saint to teach me. Search xs520.

co“

"The dance music of Taiyue Department is becoming increasingly sparse, and it has been far inferior to that of Jiaofang. Although you have incomplete music, you can write good music and lyrics.

 Don’t let me down."

 Speaking, Li Longji smiled proudly, pointed at Xue Bai and lectured: "You should rehearse a play well."

Xue Bai knew why the emperor was so proud.

 He ​​wanted to be a capable minister and did not want to accompany Li Longji to play tricks. Li Longji was also aware of this, but Li Longji had his own way to follow the court rules and let him rehearse the show obediently. "The minister should do his best."

“Okay, can you arrange this play before Chinese Valentine’s Day?”

 “Then I respectfully invite the saint to watch the play on Qixi Festival.”

“Hahaha.” Li Longji looked at Yang Yuhuan with a smile, as if asking for credit.

Li Guinian stepped forward and told Xue Bai's idea of ​​using the lake as a stage. Li Longji immediately praised it.

"Yes, singing Jiangnan style is inseparable from water. For example, "Debao Song" can only have its charm when sung on a canal boat. This stage will no longer fit. It will be moved to the west of Furong Garden to build a water stage... I said

, Xue Qing always has genius ideas about opera, and I have not been disappointed."

 "I don't dare to do it."

 “Don’t be restrained, bring me the script and let me take a look.”

Xue Bai quickly offered it with both hands.

"Give me."

Before Gao Lishi could send the eunuch to get it, Yang Yuhuan cheered loudly, stepped forward with his skirt in hand, and snatched the scroll from Xue Bai's hand.

Xue Bai felt the fragrant breeze passing by. He looked around and smiled like a flower. He hurriedly called the police and found that she had already run away with the script.

Although Xie Aman had read some of the poems and plays in it in advance, when he read it again, it was still amazing. Yang Yuhuan was so dazzled by it that he could only feel the lingering fragrance in his mouth after reading it.

“Taizhen, how about asking the palace servants to make a copy first?”

With a helpless smile on his face, Li Longji tried to persuade Yang Yuhuan a few words, but since she didn't listen, he had no choice but to discuss the candidate for the role with Xue Bai, Li Guinian and others.

“Has Yongxin arrived yet?”

"Return to the saint, she is dressing up as a man." Zhang Yunrong responded, "Don't let the saint down."

“Okay, I think she is the only one who can sing Xu Xian.” Although Li Longji hadn’t read the script yet, he had read the story written by Xue Bai and knew the role easily, and said, “As for the green snake.

 At this point, the saint raised his hand gracefully, and a beauty in palace clothes timidly walked out of the team.

Xue Qing, let’s see. Is it suitable for her to play the role of Green Snake?”

Xue Bai was suddenly called and had to look at the beauty. He saw that she was wearing a bright half-breasted thin shirt, with beaded earlobes and a tassel hanging around her neck. She was also a complete beauty, but she looked familiar.

He was stunned for a while before he recognized that this was Miss Fan. After all, he had never seen her before.

Fan Nu looked inexplicably guilty when she saw him looking at him, and lowered her head.

The next moment, Yang Yuhuan looked away from the script and said with dissatisfaction: "I have promised Aman to play the role of the green snake."

"I'm just suggesting." Li Longji smiled lightly and said, "Xue Qing, who do you think should play the role of the green snake in the play you wrote?"

Xue Bai quickly made a cross-hand salute, and before Li Longji looked at him, he avoided the gaze as a sign of difficulty.

“You think, who is suitable to play the role?” Yang Yuhuan is also putting pressure on. Full version 520.

 “It’s more appropriate to dress up in Xie Dianshi.”

Xue Bai thought about it and gave an answer.

Even An Lushan knew that he should pay homage to Yang Yuhuan first, but there was no reason why he couldn't tell the difference. This matter was easy to decide. Although Li Longji had great power, he was very generous in these matters. If he offended him, he would be gone in two days.

Okay; but Yang Yuhuan is a bit petty. If she offends her, she doesn't know how long she will remember it.

As for what Fan Nu thinks...

 “This vertical piece.“

Li Longji raised his finger and pointed at Xue Bai. Apart from not calling him "Xue Qing" anymore, he didn't get angry. He smiled and said: "But there is still a problem, but I don't know who will play Fahai...

ˆ˜

 Changan.

Da Xixun came out of the Prime Minister's Office, with a look of deep thought on his face.

“Shilang Daxi, are you in trouble?”

Looking up, it turned out to be the Lord. Lord and his son had just arrived.

“I’ve seen Yatai.” Da Xiyu quickly saluted the king.

Such was the custom in the world that people in the Tang Dynasty liked to use other names to flaunt their official positions, such as calling the county magistrate "Mingfu" and the county captain "Shaofu". "Yatai" is the honorific title of the imperial censor, because it is second only to the prime minister Taifu.

, also called "Ya Xiang" and "Si Xian".

This is one of the reasons why Wang Bing refused to give up the post of imperial censor to An Lushan. Now he is the second-ranking figure in the right minister lineage.

“I’m going to see the Prime Minister first.” Wang Que patted Da Xi Xun’s back gently and entered the Prime Minister’s residence.

Wang Zhun refused to go in, and asked with a joyful expression: "Servant Daxi hasn't said anything yet, why is he frowning?"

“To be honest with Wang Shaoqing, he was related to Xue Bai. The Prime Minister wanted to let him go, but he staged a show in front of the emperor...

"Oh? What's the show?" Zhu Zhun was not interested in official matters. He only asked if Da Xixun, whom he cared about, really knew. He reported the news to the right minister, who had already found out that what Xue Bai wanted to arrange was "White Snake"

pass".

Having said this, he sighed: "At this point, in my opinion, it would be better if I really promised to give him a lieutenant in the Eastern Capital."

"I'm about to take the fighting cock to Zhaoying County." Wang Zhun said: "When we get to the imperial court, I can help you inquire and help you, how about it?"

“Oh? Your Majesty, would you like to lend a helping hand?”

“Brother Da Xi and I are good friends. He became an official of the newspaper publishing house, which is good for me.” Wang Zhun stroked his chin and said with a smile. The next day, Zhu Zhun and Jia Chang set off to Huaqing Palace to watch the cockfighting.

 There were all kinds of people in the team, including palace eunuchs, chicken boys, and their fair-weather friends.

They set off late and it was already dark when they arrived in Zhaoying County, so they were entertained by Da Xifu to drink and have fun.

"In my opinion, there is no need for the Right Prime Minister to suppress Xue Bai's official position. As long as he is willing to hand over the power of newspapers, what else matters? Now that his holy love is strong, can he suppress it?"

 After drinking for three rounds, when talking about Xue Bai’s matter, Da Xifu already had a stand and hoped to reach an agreement with Xue Bai as soon as possible.

Wang Zhenli understood Li Linfu's thoughts better and said: "It is precisely because the holy family is so strong that the right prime minister wants to drive him far away. The whole edition is 520.????"

"I have already said that Xue Bairuo will stay in the newspaper office and will not leave." Da Xi said, "Isn't the Right Prime Minister even more reluctant?"

Wang Zhun smiled knowingly and said: "By the way, let's talk about the play he is rehearsing."

 Speaking of this matter, the sage will recruit more eunuchs from Chang'an."

 “Why?“

"It's hard to find a role. I need someone to play an evil monk, opposite a noble concubine, and he has to be a good singer. He also has to be ugly and willing to shave his head. It's best to be a eunuch."

When Da Xifu said this, someone helped him add a glass of wine.

 This is one of Wang Zhun's best friends, Xing Yi, who had been hanging out with him in the church before.

Xing's eyes rolled as he listened to them talking about the roles in the Legend of White Snake, and suddenly said: "Da Lang, don't you have someone in Jifang?"

 “Which?“

“Liu Hua, the fat eunuch who delivers letters between Jifang and the palace.”

 Jesus asked: “Can he sing?”

“He used to be a slave in Nanqu. He was purified and entered the palace more than ten years ago. He sang well.”

Wang Zhun said: "As long as he can sing, that's fine. I'll take him to see the saint tomorrow, but I have to let him change his name first."

Jia Chang asked: “Why do people change their names?”

“Maojin Dao.” Wang Zhun said, “If there is someone with the surname Liu around you, the saint is very taboo.”

"Spring and Autumn Acting Kong Tu" states that "the name of the 'Maojin Dao' is 'Liu', and after the Red Emperor, the next generation of Zhou" established the Liu family's orthodox status as emperor. From the Han Dynasty, it was like "if you are not Liu family, you will not be a king." "The Liu family came back, and the Li family was the assistant", "Mao Jin cultivates virtue and becomes the emperor", the words of Wei in the Eastern Han Dynasty are "the knowledge of the golden sword".

 From the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, there was an endless stream of rebels named Liu, even today.

In the first year of Kaiyuan, it was said that "Buddha Sakyamuni has come to an end, and new Buddhas have emerged. The Li family is about to end, and the Liu family is about to flourish." In the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan, Luoyang demon thief Liu Dinggao led a crowd to attack Tongluomen; on the twentieth day of Kaiyuan In the third year, Liu Puhui from Dongdu rebelled; in the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan, Liu Zhicheng, a demon man from Liquan County, Chang'an, rebelled.

Of course, taboos are one thing, and there are so many people with the surname Liu that there are endless taboos. Generally speaking, if you want to be reused, you can just change your name.

Da Xifu said: "Then let Liu Hua change his name and try to recommend him."

"good..

After the banquet, Da Xi settled the guests and returned to his residence, when a confidant approached him.

“Young Master, are you not drunk? I have something important to say.”

"explain."

"The day before yesterday, after the county magistrate met with the saint, he should have mentioned the rumors in Luoyang."

Da Xifu was displeased and said, "What does he mean by this?"

“They must want people from the Yang Party to investigate the Shaofu and deal with the Shaofu.”

"Heh." Da Xifu sneered, "Let them investigate. It would be better to accuse me of hiding my funeral without reporting it."

 “That matter.

"Don't worry about it." Da Xi said: "Xue Bai and I will talk about the matter of seeking an official position. It can be settled between the two of us, so there is no need to cause more trouble."

ˆˆNN

 Huaqing Palace, Furong Garden.

As the drums began to beat, someone suddenly sang loudly with a majestic voice: "Old monk Fahai, stationed in Mount Sikkim. He left the monastery with a dragon stick in his clothes and went to the south of the Yangtze River to visit Xu Xian...! How can the Buddhist land in the south of the Yangtze River allow evildoers to roam around?

In the meantime?"

The auditioner opened his voice like this, and everyone in the audience was shocked. Xie Aman, who happened to be pointed at by "Fahai", trembled in fright and almost fell into Xue Bai's arms.

"good!"

 Li Longji clapped his hands and praised.

He actually doesn't like monks very much, for many reasons. For example, when Empress Wu promoted Buddhism, Liu Huinumao, the third ancestor of Faxiang Sect, helped Wu Zetian establish her orthodox claim to be emperor. As early as the Northern Wei Dynasty, Jin Daozhi combined with Maitreya belief.

stand up,

 In Li Longji’s eyes, it was also the source of unrest.

 Therefore, he changed Wu Zhou's admiration for Buddhism, promoted Taoism, and invited Lao Tzu into the Seven Holy Temples.

As for the "Fa Hai" in front of him, Li Longji knew that he had just shaved his head to play the monk, and in Xue Bai's play,

 The mage is also a bad guy, so he can accept it.

 Lao Tzu is stationed at the Seven Holy Temples not far away.

“Among my disciples, there is really no one who can sing such evil spirit... What is your name?”

 The old slave Liu Hua was originally Jifang Dianyin, but now his name has been changed to "Fahai", and he begs for the saint's grace."

 “It’s good to change the name, he is a sensible person.” Li Longji said loudly: “Xue Qing, what do you think of his singing?”

Xue Bai said: "Returning to the saint, there should be no more suitable candidate."

"Then the role of the play has been decided. You can rehearse well."

                          offices

 The life in the Huaqing Palace was easy, and all Xue Bai did every day was arranging operas and taking baths.

ˆVn

 “I really envy Xue Lang’s magical life.”

On this day, Da Xifu walked around Zhaoying City with Xue Bai as promised. When he mentioned official business, he couldn't help but said: "Xue Lang is free from official duties. Look at me. Zhaoying City is overcrowded, and there is an endless stream of dignitaries and carriages."

 “Brother Daxi, thank you for your hard work.“

"It's not just hard work. I am a ninth-grade county captain. I don't care about the people in the city, because you don't know who is the official's subordinate. The county magistrate is pressing me down, and everyone walking in the Huaqing Palace is wearing red and purple.

People can drive me."

 Da Xi Fu sighed and concluded: "If possible, I really want to resign from this official position."

Xue Bai couldn't help but smile.

Why is Xue Lang ignoring me?" Da Xifu joked.

 Me? I want to be a county captain in Chang'an." Xue Bai said, "My teacher is a county captain in Chang'an."

“No, you must first be appointed as Jiwei, and the same goes for your teacher.

 “But I am more favored by the Holy Spirit.”

Da Xifu looked around, took Xue Bai to a deserted place by the Wei River, changed his tone of voice sincerely, and said: "How about you and I being honest? I'll tell you a secret... The right prime minister wants to release you from Guanzhong.

.”

 “I know, he can try.”

"But let me give you a suggestion." Da Xi said: "With your talent, you should aspire to be a governor, and you should not stay in the position of editor for a long time. The Chang'an County Captain is indeed the best step for you on the road to Qingyun."

"But you just said that if you want to be appointed as a red captain, you must first be appointed as a captain."

“Wei Zhaoying, this is your best choice now. You help me get promoted, and I’ll help you get promoted.”

Xue Bai shook his head and said: "Verbal promises don't count."

"No, I will convince my grandpa." Da Xi said: "I think the Right Prime Minister should be able to tolerate your appointment as Zhaoying Wei... But he can only tolerate one Wei at most."

This is the expected consequence of Xue Bai deliberately squeezing Li Linfu. Now that Li Linfu can still hold on, Da Xifu has already compromised first.

Da Xifu would constantly persuade Da Xixun, saying, "Compared with being the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, give Xue Bai a Zhaoyingwei position. The right minister can bear it. The last excuse is the wish of a saint."

In order to find an official position, the father and son dared to make independent decisions. After all, as long as he found officials in the newspaper publishing house, Li Linfu would still have to use them.

Xue Bai saw that Da Xifu was really sincere and asked, "How can I trust you?"

“You don’t believe me?” Da Xifu asked.

 “As I said, the right minister wants to put me far away.”

"But I believe in Xue Lang." Da Xi said: "In this way, the examinations of the various departments in the capital will be in September, and my grandfather will give Xue Lang his review first.

 Officials in the Tang Dynasty were required to take exams, also known as "Kaogong" or "Performance Assessment", which assessed the officials' conduct and political achievements.

 Standards are divided into "Four Good Things" and "Twenty-seven Most Good Things". The Four Good Things refer to "well-known virtues and righteousness, clear and prudent writing, fair and commendable,

“Diligence and diligence”, which focuses on character; there are also twenty-seven types of specific duty requirements, which focus on the assessment of talent and political performance.

 One test is taken at a time. Therefore, the best result is "one is the best and the four are good".

No matter how much Xue Bai has a holy family, the examination cannot be decided by the holy family alone. If he hangs out in the officialdom and has to rely on the saints for everything, he might as well be an admiral.

 With the examination and evaluation, it is the first step for promotion.

"After Mr. Xue has made the evaluation, I will ask others to submit a letter to promote you and me to official positions." Da Xifu added, "Lang Xue only needs to nod his head and agree."

Xue Bai heard this and thought about whether this plan was feasible.

Da Xifu said: "I am sincere and I really want to be promoted."

Xue Bai didn't intend to threaten Da Xifu with "hiding or not reporting funerals". This method was not suitable for many uses, so he asked: "You and I will work together... You don't have any reason to prove it, right?"

"Don't worry." Da Xi said, "I'm fully prepared for promotion, and I believe you are too."

"Well."

"One word is settled, Xue Shaofu."

 After making an agreement with Da Xifu, Xue Bai has basically made preliminary preparations for promotion, and the rest only needs to be left to Da Xi and his son.

 A lot of things in the court are as calm as this, as long as the exchange of interests is done in private.

All Xue Bai had to do was to wait until "The Legend of the White Snake" was played. Everyone thought that his talent was too outstanding and he deserved a promotion.

 …

 In this way, rehearsals are taking place every day on the stage of Huaqing Palace.

Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen were living in peace and quiet. Suddenly an evil monk jumped out and shouted "*" loudly: "How can we allow evildoers to mix in here?!"
