Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 246
"You just stay here and don't walk around. We will bring you food and drink. If you walk around, you won't be able to redress your grievances if you are caught as an assassin or even killed. Do you understand?"

A eunuch exhorted Zhang Qingfeng and the others.

At this time, Zhang Qingfeng had brought all the theater troupe into the palace, and they were arranged in a courtyard. There were more than 100 people, and the entire courtyard was packed to the brim.

After the eunuch left, Zhang Qingfeng looked around, and he found that the imperial palace was worthy of being an imperial palace, and the courtyards built were extremely luxurious.

In the past, he thought that all the palaces were palaces, but he didn't expect that besides palaces, there were pavilions, pavilions, pavilions and even ordinary courtyards in the palace.

Zhang Qingfeng's more than 100 people entered the palace in the morning, and in the afternoon, someone took Zhang Qingfeng and the others to familiarize themselves with the stage, and began to arrange some necessary things according to their requirements.

At this time, Zhang Qingfeng's drama troupe finally met other entertainers who were arranged to perform in the palace.

Zhang Qingfeng saw that most of these artists were young and beautiful women, dressed very beautifully, they should be singing and dancing artists.

Most of these people came from government-run teaching workshops. When they saw Zhang Qingfeng and his group of men, women and children, they all showed curiosity in their eyes.

The stage in the palace is different from the stage in Goulan Washe. The stage in Goulan Washe has a high platform, which is higher than the ordinary auditorium.

But on the stage in the palace, the auditorium is much higher than the stage, and the stage is basically looked down from the audience.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, in front of the stage, countless eunuchs and maids began to set up tables and chairs, and dishes that were not very rich were quickly served.

Zhang Qingfeng thought it was a dinner prepared for them, however, an eunuch told him that the officials and ministers would be here soon, and it was prepared for the emperor and ministers.

Soon, at the back of the stage, Zhang Qingfeng saw a young man in his 30s, wearing a red crimson gauze robe, leading a group of civil and military ministers in.

This person should be Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo who is only 33 years old.

Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo, born in 1168, was the fourth emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

He was established as the prince in 1194, and with the support of the empress dowager and a group of ministers, the old man Song Guangzong, who had become dizzy in his later years, abdicated.

After Zhao Kuo ascended the throne, his main achievement was to define Zhu Xi's Confucianism as false and promulgate the "Tong Tian Li".

Song Ningzong, the emperor, treated the people really well and was relatively frugal, but he was a very mediocre emperor. He had been in power for a long time, but he had few political achievements.

Behind Zhao Kuo, hundreds of civil and military officials followed.

Finally, under Zhao Kuo's arrangement, all civil and military officials took their seats one after another.

Numerous court ladies and eunuchs shuttled through it, ready to serve everyone at any time.

Afterwards, Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo stood up and said something, but Zhang Qingfeng couldn't hear clearly from a distance away, and then everyone used chopsticks to eat.

At this time, under the arrangement of a servant, that is, the eunuch, some artists behind the stage finally started to move.

A group of women stepped onto the stage in lotus steps, dancing slowly to the music playing in the background.

This is the song and dance of the Song Dynasty. Zhang Qingfeng watched from the backstage, and felt that although the song and dance of this era did not have any dazzling movements, they still had a special flavor.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened while the emperor was entertaining his ministers.

After everyone finished the banquet, the maids removed all the tableware, and then brought snacks such as pastries, cakes, and melon seeds.

Next, the officials began to watch the performance with the emperor.

In the palace, it was getting dark, but countless court ladies lit many lanterns to dispel the darkness.

On the stage, many entertainers performed on stage, including singing and dancing, shadow puppetry, acrobatics, opera, and so on.

At the third quarter of the unitary hour, it was finally Zhang Qingfeng's turn to play The Legend of the White Snake.

"Officials, this is what I told you, the drama program produced by the person who wrote Fengshen Yanyi and The Legend of the White Snake. Now the drama is very famous among the people."

Next to the emperor, Zhao Kuo, Song Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, introduced Wang Buzhi, the magistrate of Lin'an.

Logically speaking, as Wang Buzhi, he is not qualified to sit next to Emperor Zhao Kuo, but this program was recommended by him to enter the palace, so he can come here to explain it temporarily.

"It's Yang Sanlang, right? He is very talented. I heard that he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he can write such sophisticated stories. It's really incredible!" Zhao Kuochao said to Wang Buzhi.

"Yes, this Yang Sanlang is indeed very talented, and he has a photographic memory, but he doesn't put his mind on studying, otherwise he will be the number one scholar in the future." Wang Buzhi said to Song Ningzong.

"Really? He really has a photographic memory?" Hearing Wang Buzhi's words, Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo was very surprised.

"Yes, I personally tested this." Wang Buzhi nodded.

The photographic memory was actually revealed by Zhang Qingfeng himself. At such a young age, he was able to write such a masterpiece as the Romance of the Gods, which surprised many people.

However, when others learned that Yang Sanlang had a photographic memory and had read many classics, everyone had a tenable explanation for his ability to surpass ordinary people.

"After the show is over, you bring him here. I want to meet him and see if he can really remember with his photographic memory." Zhao Kuochao said to Wang Buzhi.

When the two were about to talk, on the stage, the drama of Legend of the White Snake finally started.

At this time, Zhang Qingfeng, in order to make the show better, he also acted as a huqin musician himself. Whenever there was a huqin soundtrack, he would play it himself.

"Yang Sanlang, come with me, the official wants to see you."

Two hours later, when the first scene of The Legend of the White Snake was over, a eunuch found Zhang Qingfeng.

"Yes." Zhang Qingfeng agreed, put down his work, and followed the eunuch out of the backstage.

"The grassroots have seen the officials."

Soon, Zhang Qingfeng met Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo, and bowed respectfully.

Fortunately, the Song Dynasty did not need to kneel down to worship the emperor, which made Zhang Qingfeng very fond of it.

Kneeling worship was practiced in the Yuan Dynasty, because in this way the Mongols could feel superior to others.

After the Qing Dynasty, it was even more popular to kneel and worship in Daxing. The common people would kneel and worship when they saw the Jiupin magistrate, so that the backbone of the Han nationality was lost.

"You are Yang Sanlang! You are indeed young. I have read both the Romance of the Gods and the Legend of the White Snake that you wrote, and they are very good. Today's drama of the Legend of the White Snake is also very good." Zhao Kuo praised Zhang Qingfeng.

"Thank you for the compliment from the officials, and the grassroots will strive to write more good stories and rehearse more good programs in the future." Zhang Qingfeng quickly said respectfully.

"Yeah." Zhao Kuo nodded, and continued to say to Zhang Qingfeng: "I heard from Wang Aiqing. You have a photographic memory, but is there such a thing?"

"Back to the official house, this is indeed the case." Zhang Qingfeng nodded.
