Guo Bing was a little embarrassed. His own daughter had already watched Romance of the West Chamber and came out to defend himself. This topic could no longer be discussed. Fortunately, Yan Zhengsheng's words relieved his embarrassment.
"Lin Jue, Your Majesty means well. I don't want you to cause trouble. Your Majesty is in Hangzhou, so naturally he doesn't want the atmosphere in Hangzhou to get bad and be criticized by others. As for the content of The West Chamber, I don't know, but if there is any, I will change it.
If you don't, please encourage me. The play is for entertaining people, not for harming people, and it must not violate ethics and etiquette, otherwise you will be asking for trouble."
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said: "Master Yan is teaching you a lesson, and the prince is teaching you a lesson. Just stop the performance of The West Chamber immediately."
Guo Bing chuckled and said: "What Mr. Yan said is exactly what I want to say. Lin Jue, don't be unconvinced. Take today's "The Injustice of Dou E" as an example. I do not deny the success of this drama.
Wonderful, I have never seen such a wonderful play. However, some of the plots in it, I think are a bit too much. I am a prosperous Zhou Dynasty, the sea is clear and the river is peaceful, but there are bad people everywhere in your play.
, from the officials down to the common people, almost no one is a good person. What does this mean? Does it insinuate that our officials in the Zhou Dynasty are corrupt and the people's customs are rotten? Then although Dou E was wronged, you arranged for her to swear three poisonous oaths. What six
How can these vicious curses be shown openly to others despite the snow falling and the severe drought for three years? Isn’t this teaching bad things to the people? These plots are unnecessary. If you use them to sensationalize others, something will happen.”
Lin Jue put away his smile, frowned and asked: "According to the prince's ideas, how should this drama be changed?"
"The king taught me that Dou Tianzhang will show up when he is asked to be executed, and the trial will be re-examined, and the person will be spared, and the bad guys will be punished. There is also the previous Dou Tianzhang who used women to pay off his debts, but that will not work. How can such a person later become a member of the imperial court?
Officials? If there is no morality, how can they talk about serving the country and making decisions for the people? In short... there are too many things that need to be changed, and I can't finish them in a short while." Guo Bing waved his hand.
Lin Jue couldn't help but laugh: "According to the prince's changes, will this play still be called Dou E's Injustice?"
"The name can be changed, why stick to this name? Lin Jue, in the prosperous era of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you should write some plays that praise the wisdom of the saints and the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty, instead of these small love stories, or even dark and obscure plays.
This is not good, the pattern is not big, and it cannot achieve big things." Guo Bing said.
Before Lin Jue could speak, he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I don't agree with these words. You and I are all here to watch the show. Everything in the show is false. Your Majesty, you are thinking too much."
.Besides, is today’s world really a peaceful and prosperous time for Hai Qing He Yan as the prince said? I don’t think so. The people are suffering and the officialdom is in trouble. Does the prince really know nothing about it?”
Guo Bing frowned and said: "Master Yan, these words are really surprising coming from your mouth. You are a court official, do you mean what you said?"
Yan Zhengsun frowned and said: "I don't have anything specific to say, but there are some things that are obvious, why pretend not to know? There is no need for the prince to borrow a play to show off. In my opinion, Dou E was wrongly acted.
Very good, there are many injustices in this world, but they are not stated clearly. Since the prince is here to support, he can only criticize, and there is no need to force others to do anything. Dou E's injustice is very good, even if it is a criticism of reality, there is no need to make a fuss about it.
.”
Guo Bing coughed and said: "Master Yan, you are right. In fact, I am...actually it is difficult to talk about that matter, so I just want to find some topics. How about you, Master Yan, talk about that matter? I am really
I can't speak."
Yan solemnly sighed and said: "I knew that the prince was talking in circles. In this case, let me tell you. This...no one is waiting, so please step aside. You don't have to listen to this matter."
Hearing this, Xie Yingying, Xie Danhong and others all resigned one after another, and the palace guards also retreated. The young prince originally winked at the little princess and told her to leave, but the little princess turned a blind eye and stuck her buttocks to the bench. Guo Kun rolled his eyes and had no choice but to give up.
Lin Jue didn't frown. He suddenly noticed something strange in the conversation between the prince and Master Yan. What kind of riddle were these two people playing? Could something bad be happening?
"Okay, let's get straight to the point. The prince likes to talk in circles, but I don't like to talk in circles. Lin Jue, are you surprised that the prince and I came to the show at the same time today?" Yan Zhengsheng turned to Lin Jue and said in a deep voice.
"The visit of the prince and the prefect really surprised me. I would like to thank the prince and the prefect Yan for coming to support me." Lin Jue cupped his hands and said.
"Yes, we are indeed here to support you. Apart from you, I am afraid that no one in Hangzhou City can make the prince and the young prince come to support you in person. But apart from the support, we also have other things to tell you." Yan Zhengsheng
Frowning.
"What is that? It seems to be very important. They are not here to arrest me and behead me. I have not committed any crime. If my head is beheaded, I will be more unjust than Dou E. Maybe not
I want to make a poisonous oath to let Hangzhou suffer a drought for three years and let God make a heavy snowfall." Lin Jue said with a smile.
The little princess burst out laughing, Guo Kun turned around and glared at her, the little princess covered her mouth and turned to look out the window.
He said solemnly: "Lin Jue, this is business."
Lin Jue hurriedly apologized and sat upright.
"There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Yan said solemnly.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "Didn't you say that you won't go around in circles? Which one does Master Yan want to say? It makes me very nervous when you do this."
Yan Zhengsun smacked his lips and waved his hands: "That's all, I'm just going to tell you the good news first. The pirates are in civil strife. Hai Dongqing is missing. Some of the pirates surrendered to Ning Haijun yesterday."
"Ah?" Lin Jue jumped up in surprise: "Seriously?"
"How can it be false? After we left Peach Blossom Island, the remaining pirates broke into civil strife. It is said that the two thousand pirates on an island in the south did not want to follow Hai Dongqing anymore, and they set up their own flag.
Hai Dongqing refused to rest and led 3,000 men to fight against them. Not only did they fail to defeat them, but when they turned around, the remaining 1,000 bandits on Big Bird Island also betrayed them and shot them with bows and arrows, preventing them from entering the island.
The trestle has not been repaired, and the food and supplies are still on Big Bird Island. The remaining thousands of people under Hai Dongqing cannot gain a foothold on Peach Blossom Island, so they can only escape north. The specific whereabouts are not yet known, but
What is certain is that it has left the sea area in eastern Zhejiang." Yan said solemnly.
Lin Jue raised his forehead and said happily: "This is really good news. Originally, there were still six thousand pirates left, which was also a big hidden danger. I didn't expect that they would be divided into three parts due to civil strife. This time it was completely unsafe.
It has become a trend. Haha, I have long been thinking about what the people under Haidongqing would think after experiencing such a big defeat. How can these people have any friendship at all? They will definitely rebel if they have the chance. Haidongqing’s
Didn’t you get your position by rebelling? Haha, you really didn’t disappoint me.”
Yan Zhengsheng and Guo Bing both laughed. Lin Jue's joy was understandable. Most of the reasons were not because of Hai Dongqing's downfall, but because it was the end of danger for Lin Jue. Hai Dongqing
In such a situation, how could he have time to deal with Lin Jue? He was forced to take his people out of the waters of eastern Zhejiang to find a place to stay, and they would not be able to come back for a while. Lin Jue was afraid that this was the reason why he was happy.
"Lin Jue, from now on, you don't have to worry about Haidongqing being harmful to you." Guo Kun said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue nodded and smiled: "I can indeed breathe a sigh of relief, but it is only temporary. Hai Dongqing will always feel uneasy if he is not dead, but at least for now he can't take care of me. This is really a good thing
The news is not only good news for me, but also for the people of Hangzhou, Lord Yan and the prince and the young prince. The pirates have been divided into three. In the future, they will only be able to cause nuisance at sea and will never dare to step inland.
.If there is a chance, Ning Haijun can launch another encirclement and suppression campaign."
Guo Bing didn't like to hear the good news, and he never wanted to hear Lin Jue say that Ning Haijun had wiped out the pirates. So he interrupted: "Now that we've told you the good news, Mr. Yan still wants to tell you the bad news."
Bar."
Yan Zhengsheng nodded, put away his smile and said to Lin Jue: "Lin Jue, don't be too excited after hearing this news. This...hey, let me get it straight. The bad news is about the Guishan Island copycat recruitment we promised you.
Thing, this thing..."
Lin Jue was startled and frowned: "What? What else could go wrong with this matter? Didn't the prince and the prefect promise to handle this matter well?"
Yan Zhengsheng smiled awkwardly and said: "I did agree with you and Miss Gao. I planned to reorganize and naturalize you and Miss Gao on the spot. Let bygones be bygones and turn them all into common people. However... However... Someone in the court said something about Guishan Island.
The gangsters have done a lot of bad things in the past, so we can't let them be so easy. The Chuzhou Army stationed on Guishan Island three days ago, but they took dozens of bandit leaders and... killed them on the spot. This incident caused a backlash from the people on the island, and several
The bandit soldiers on Qiandao resisted, but they were no match for the Chuzhou army, with more than a thousand casualties..."
"What?" Lin Jue was shocked and shouted in horror.
"Lin Jue... don't be excited, don't be excited. We don't know about this matter. The people in the Privy Council hid it from us. The prince and I were also shocked when we learned about this matter. We have already filed a memorial to ask for the investigation...
…You believe us, we had absolutely no idea things would turn out like this.”
Lin Jue stood up with a stern face and said in a deep voice: "What happened to Miss Gao? Was she also beheaded?"
"Miss Gao... We haven't got the exact information yet. We are looking for it. As soon as there is news, we will inform you. Lin Jue, you..." Yan Zheng explained in a deep voice.
Lin Jue waved his hand to interrupt Yan Zhengsheng's words and said in a deep voice: "Send off guests!"
"Lin Jue, you are rude. We are kind enough to tell you that this is not because we did not try our best, but because others were obstructing us..." Guo Kun shouted.
"Send off guests!" Lin Jue shouted coldly.
Although he was a commoner, the prefect and the prince were no match for the cold aura on his body. Furthermore, they felt guilty and speechless.
"Lin Jue, don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter, and I apologize to you." Yan Zhengshen said in a low voice.
"Send off guests!" Lin Jue shouted loudly for the third time.
Guo Kun stared at him and wanted to scold him, but Guo Bing waved his hand to stop him. Guo Bing stood up and sighed: "That's it, Lin Jue, please calm down, let's go first. This matter is just as Lord Yan said, I will give you an explanation."
.It’s understandable that you are feeling angry at the moment, and I don’t blame you. Lord Yan, let’s go first.”
Yan Zheng sighed and nodded in agreement.
Guo Bing and Yan sighed solemnly and went out. Lin Jue's eyes were wet and he slowly sat on the chair. He put his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes speechlessly. A gentle little hand reached over and gently touched Lin Jue's shoulder. Xiaojun
The gentle voice of the Lord rang in my ears.
"Lin Jue, don't be sad. Gao Muqing is a skilled martial artist and will be fine. You have just recovered from a serious illness, so you must take good care of yourself. I can't see you often, but I... think of you all the time. You must not..."
"Sister!" The young prince's cry sounded outside the door, and the young princess hurriedly responded, leaned down and kissed Lin Jue quickly on the cheek, and left quickly.
