In the 60th year of Zhi Ge, Wuchang was born in a place called Yushui City in Xinzhou. As the name suggests, this city is a city that fetched water for the emperor. Wuchang's original name was Xie Huangen. Wuchang's family were all scholars, but because Wuchang's father got drunk once
Later, he uttered arrogant words, insulting the current saint and being betrayed to death. When the whole family was imprisoned in death row, Wu Chang had no idea what was going to happen next. It was at this time that Wu Chang met an important person in his life, a
An opera master named Wu Xiangsheng. This master often sang operas for the royal family, so people in prison also knew this master. And this master had a habit of recruiting apprentices, specifically looking for children who had suffered. Master Wu believed that those who had not suffered
The children could not insist on learning opera, so Master Wu chose the death row in the prison. However, after a year or two, Master Wu did not receive an apprentice. Firstly, there were very few children who were arrested. Secondly,
These children cried so much when they were brought in that it was impossible to talk to them, but this day was different.
At this time, in the death row in Yushui City, Wu Chang's mother was hiding in the corner and crying secretly, while Wu Chang himself was leaning against the cell door with his back and looking at the small window in front of him. The sky was not completely bright at this time, and everything outside was gray.
Yes, Wu Chang's mother knew that the whole family would be escorted to Yuquan City at dawn, and when they got there, the whole family would definitely be close to death. And the mother looked at Wu Chang's expectant eyes and didn't know how to tell him that now
Wu Chang was just a five-year-old child who didn't understand anything about life and death. At this moment, Wu Xiangsheng walked over to the prison as usual with the prison leader. The prison leader was walking in front with a lantern in his hand, shaking his head and saying
: "Master Wu, why do you want to recruit apprentices in this prison? You have been choosing for several years and haven't received any. Hey~ I said you should just give up. You are more diligent than me in this prison."
But Wu Xiangsheng didn't hear what the monitor said at all. He looked at the people in the cells on both sides with his hands behind his back and said, "Have there been any new kids recently?"
The cell leader smiled and said: "Boss Wu, yes, yes, but this child has committed a serious crime. His father was sentenced to death for insulting the Holy Father while drunk, and he will be sent away tomorrow."
But Wu Xiangsheng immediately became interested in this child. When he saw Wu Xiangsheng, he bowed his hands and said, "Take me to see him."
The prison boss knew that Wu Xiangsheng's identity was unusual, so he took Wu Xiangsheng directly to the prison where Wu Chang was imprisoned without saying anything. The first time Wu Xiangsheng saw Wu Chang, he felt that he was unusual, even though he was on death row.
Zhong Wuchang also had a calm look on his face, and Wuchang looked at the kind-faced forty-year-old man in front of him, who was a little confused. Wu Xiangsheng helped him down with a smile on his face, with kind eyes, and then Wu Xiangsheng said to Wuchang: "
What's your name?"
Wu Chang said: "My name is Xie Huangen."
Hearing this, Wu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly, because Wu Xiangsheng knew that his family were all scholars, and Wu Changsheng's father must have made a drunken mistake because he could not win the honor. Thinking of this, Wu Xiangsheng became even more interested in Wu Chang, and then Wu Xiangsheng continued
Asked: "Xiao Xie, let me ask you, do you know where you are going?"
Wu Chang blinked and said, "I know, I'm going to the Imperial City to wait for questioning."
Wu Xiangsheng didn't expect that this five- or six-year-old child would talk about life and death so easily, so Wu Xiangsheng then asked: "Then...are you not afraid at all?"
Wu Chang showed an innocent smile and said: "There is nothing you can do if you are afraid."
After seeing Wu Chang's smile, Wu Xiangsheng knew that his apprentice was found. Then Wu Xiangsheng walked to the cell leader and whispered: "This is the child. I want to accept him as my apprentice."
As soon as the cell leader heard this, he immediately explained: "Hey, Boss Wu, you can't destroy me. How can I do my job if you take him with you? Why don't you find someone else?"
Wu Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "Of course not, it's this child. You have to find a way for me."
The prison boss also knew that Wu Xiangsheng was a stubborn person, and Wu Xiangsheng was also related to the royal family, so he found a child to replace Wu Chang. In this way, Wu Chang was taken out of the prison by Wu Xiangsheng. When Wu Xiangsheng was on the road, he
Huan Wuchang said: "My child, you will be my apprentice from now on. You must keep everything today deep in your heart and never tell anyone. Do you understand?"
Only then did Wu Chang realize that he would never see his parents again, and Wu Chang was relieved to know that he would never see his parents again. However, Wu Chang still had a smile on his face and said to Wu Xiangsheng: "Disciple understands."
Wu Xiangsheng saw Wu Chang being so sensible, so he took Wu Chang into his arms, and then whispered to Wu Chang: "If the child is fine, you will still have me in the future."
In this way, Wuchang became an apprentice and studied opera under Wu Xiangsheng, and opera is a very advanced skill. Wuchang was thin and small, so he often played female roles. Wu Xiangsheng also valued Wuchang very much. In order to deceive others, Wu Xiangsheng also gave Wuchang a name.
For Wu Chang, he hinted that Wu Chang would forget the past and live a good life. Wu Chang also gradually grew up under Wu Xiangsheng's disciples. The person who took the most care of Wu Chang was Chang Qing, the senior brother here. Chang Qing is two years older than Wu Chang.
Gao Da always plays the male role, so when the duo performs on stage, one man and one woman play together. Chang Qing is really good at singing, but in life, it is a bit weird. When Chang Qing speaks, he always likes to add
The last sentence was Ouyou, and Chang Qing's accent was weird and slightly squeaky, but Chang Qing was a rough-handed man who naturally wouldn't make people feel too unsuitable, but Wu Chang, who often performed with Chang Qing, learned
After hearing this sentence, Wu Chang gradually not only became more Ouyou when speaking, but also learned Chang Qing's accent.
Time passed to the seventy-eighth year of Zhige. In this year, Chang Qing had begun to become popular, and Wu Xiangsheng had become somewhat unable to sing. Gradually, the royal family began to alienate Wu Xiangsheng, and Wu Xiangsheng also knew that
This couldn't go on like this, so he called Wu Chang and Chang Qing to his side. The two of them didn't know what Wu Xiangsheng was going to do, so they all gathered around. Seeing that the two children were already stretched out, Wu Xiangsheng also laughed happily, and then
Wu Xiangsheng said: "Listen to me, the reason why our theater can continue for a long time is because we have been appreciated by the royal family, but now I am old and no longer useful~ So I want you to
Go to the imperial city to sing for the royal family for me."
After hearing this, the two of them were extremely happy and nodded immediately. Wu Xiangsheng was also very confident about their abilities. As time went by, the day came when several people entered the palace to sing. Everything was fine in the beginning.
The elders and empresses all watched it well. From time to time, several elders would clap their hands and cheer, and the atmosphere was very lively. Wu Chang and Chang Qing also worked very hard, and Wu Xiangsheng's three people joined the show directly.
After singing for two hours, the Empress finally waved her hand to indicate that it could stop. The eunuch on the side quickly interrupted the performances of several people on the stage and said: "Okay~ The Empress looks a little tired, so that's it for today."
Wu Xiangsheng knew the rules and should reward him next, but before the queen spoke, she heard the prince beside her say: "Eniang! I like that big man, let him speak!"
Upon hearing this, Chang Qing hurriedly said: "Ouyou~ If you like His Royal Highness, I can sing to you every day!"
Although Chang Qing himself didn't feel that he had said anything wrong, the prince curled his lips and said, "What is this? Why does your voice sound like this? It's disgusting~ That girl, please speak!"
After hearing the question, Wu Chang was immediately frightened, because Wu Chang didn't know whether he should speak or not, because his accent was more serious than Chang Qing's, and because neither of them had any problem singing, Wu Xiangsheng ignored it, but
It was too late for Wu Chang to regret it at this time. He couldn't say a word for a long time and had to stand still. The prince looked at Wu Chang and said angrily: "What's wrong! Are you mute?!"
Hearing this, the eunuch on the side came up and gave Wu Chang a slap in the face, and then scolded: "Are you deaf or mute! When the prince talks to you, you don't reply!?"
Seeing that things were not going well, Wu Xiangsheng immediately knelt on the ground and said, "It's the villain's fault. He failed to take care of his apprentices. From today on, our troupe will leave Xinzhou and never return!"
When the Queen heard this, she shook her head and said, "Boss Wu, I'll spare you for all these years, but you, the great disciple, must stay to make amends to me."
Wu Xiangsheng and Wu Chang's hearts trembled when they heard this, but the queen had already spoken and there was no way to change it. Then Wu Xiangsheng and Wu Chang were driven out of the palace, and the next day Wu Xiangsheng only received Chang Qing's body.
Knowing that everything was lost, he left Xinzhou with his people that night and headed towards Yanzhou.
After walking for nearly two months, Wu Xiangsheng finally arrived in Yanzhou. Wu Changsheng didn't understand what Wu Xiangsheng was going to do, so Wu Chang asked: "Ouyou~ Master, where are we going?"
Wu Xiangsheng sighed helplessly and said: "I'm just seeking asylum. You can't afford to offend the royal family unless you have a bigger backer."
The backer Wu Xiangsheng mentioned was Zhu Hongyuan, the King of Yi. Zhu Hongyuan has been recruiting troops over the years, and Wu Xiangsheng is naturally one of them. However, Wu Xiangsheng has never agreed to Zhu Hongyuan, but now Wu Xiangsheng has no better way.
Wu Xiangsheng and Wu Chang have not gone out since arriving at Prince Yi's Mansion, and Wu Xiangsheng also dismissed the troupe before walking in. At this time, Wu Xiangsheng just wanted Wu Chang to be safe, so he took Yi with him after the two moved in.
That night in the palace, Wu Xiangsheng gave Wu Chang a big cloak, and this big cloak was Wu Xiangsheng's family's precious sparkling fish scale cloak. Wu Xiangsheng also said: "When you were young, I inadvertently taught you how to use it.
This piece of clothing, the posture and techniques on the stage can also be integrated into the moves, and now I will teach you this cloak."
Wu Chang also knew that he had become Wu Xiangsheng's only sustenance at this time, so Wu Chang accepted the cloak and practiced hard from then on. However, Wu Xiangsheng fell ill soon after, Wu Chang was so anxious that he could not survive, but Yi
The people in the palace turned a blind eye. In the end, Wu Chang shot and injured someone in anger. Then Wu Chang was subdued by the people in the palace without any suspense. However, because of this reason, Wu Chang saw Yi Wang Zhu Hongyuan. Zhu Hongyuan saw in Wu Chang's eyes.
He rebelled, so Zhu Hongyuan smiled and said: "I heard that you can sing, please sing for me now. If you sing well, I will save your master!"
After Wu Chang heard this, he did not hesitate. Because it was more important to save people at this time, Wu Chang showed a section. Zhu Hongyuan also fell in love with listening to Wu Chang's opera. So in order to win over Wu Chang, Zhu Hongyuan used the name of treating diseases to let Wu Chang sing opera. Waiting for Wu Chang
When Zhu Hongyuan got tired of singing, he would invite him to have a heart-to-heart talk. At first Wu Chang was unwilling to say anything, but later Wu Chang discovered that Zhu Hongyuan did have some abilities, and slowly changed from indifference to admiration, and finally started chatting with Zhu Hongyuan.
Suddenly one day Zhu Hongyuan asked: "Xiao Wu, are you a very royal person?"
Wu Chang immediately replied: "Oh, this little man doesn't dare."
Zhu Hongyuan smiled and replied: "Nothing to be embarrassed about. I hate people from the royal family. Most of these people are a bunch of useless trash. They occupy too many of my resources. A capable person like me
They were all squeezed out by this group of people."
At this point, Zhu Hongyuan hesitated for a long time, and then continued: "Xiao Wu, come and help me. I want to search for all the people with lofty ideals in the world to participate in this grand event!"
When Wu Chang heard Zhu Hongyuan's words, it seemed that the flame of revenge was once again ignited. Without the fate of the royal family, Wu Chang would not have embarked on this path, and Zhu Hongyuan's appearance seemed to be arranged for Wu Chang, but because of Wu Xiangsheng's existence, Wu Chang was still
Said: "Oh, I want to think about it."
But Wu Xiangsheng passed away not long after. Wu Xiangsheng's death also meant that the good thoughts in Wu Changsheng's heart completely disappeared. When Wu Xiangsheng happened in front of Wu Xiangsheng's mourning hall, the royal family must pay with blood. When Wu Xiangsheng's coffin was buried,
At that moment, Wu went to die together and the name Wuchang appeared. Wuchang also officially joined King Yi and created the poisonous scorpion to clear the obstacles for him. Regardless of morality, right or wrong, just like a poisonous scorpion,
