Bright Spring

"Very good." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "I'll let you do something now. If you can do it well, I'll give you another promising job."

"Thank you, my lord!" Du Erlang said happily.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at Wang Gui, and raised his chin lightly.Wang Gui went out.

Not long after, a fair-looking young woman followed Wang Gui in. It was the Chen family whose family was ruined in Jinan City, Shandong, and was brought back to the mansion by Zhu Gaoxu.

There were five people in the study, Zhu Gaoxu looked around and said, "Today we rehearse two 'dramas', which are a kind of singing."

Du Erlang hesitated to speak, and when Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at him, he said, "The little one can't sing!"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head with a smile and said: "Pengci is also singing, singing like that is enough. Life is like a drama, and it all depends on acting skills."

He took out a few pieces of paper, handed them to Du Qianrui, and said: "There are two scenes in the play, and I wrote down all the lines, so you don't need to look at your back when you are acting, as long as you say the same thing.

There are two actors, Du Erlang and Chen Shi.It's not unusual for you two to act as a couple, Mrs. Chen is older than Du Erlang, isn't there a common saying that female juniors hold gold bricks? "

Zhu Gaoxu saw that everyone was looking at him and listening intently, so he continued with great interest, "We rehearse... that is, we practice in this study, and our debut is in various teahouses and inns in the capital. One day There will be four performances in the morning and afternoon, and they will be performed in crowded places in the four directions of the capital city. After the performances, leave quickly. I will teach you next."

So Zhu Gaoxu taught Du Erlang and Chen Shi in detail, and talked for a long time until they understood.Zhu Gaoxu even feels that he has the talent to be a director. When describing the action lines, he can tell them what they should feel and what emotions they should feel.

"Okay, try it now." Zhu Gaoxu clasped his hands together, "Remember the word I told you, what is it called?"

Du Erlang replied deftly: "The Son of Heaven!"

"Action!" Zhu Gaoxu ordered.

Du Erlang and Chen Shi looked at each other in dismay.Du Erlang tactfully reminded Mrs. Chen: "It's starting!"

He sat down in a chair and pretended to be snacking on dried fruit.

Mrs. Chen walked around with her back hunched, came to Wang Gui, and said in a strong Shandong accent, "Give me a copper coin, I haven't eaten for three days."

"Go!" Wang Gui waved his hands seriously.

Mrs. Chen came to Du Qianrui again and repeated what she said just now.Du Qianrui took out a copper coin, as if Mrs. Chen was very dirty, and threw it on the ground from a high place. Mrs. Chen hurriedly knelt down on the ground and grabbed the copper coin, and thanked her a thousand times.

Du Erlang heard Chen's voice, turned his head to look in doubt and surprise, got up suddenly, and shouted: "Er Niang!"

"Husband!" Chen yelled, staring at Du Erlang.

The two ran to the middle together, pulled their hands together, Du Erlang said: "Er Niang is not in Shandong's natal family, how could she be in the capital?"

Mrs. Chen immediately cried and said: "The war in my hometown failed to harvest. At the beginning of the year, there was no grain at home. I fled to the city with the villagers. I almost starved to death! If the "Rensheng Tianzi" did not allocate military food to help the hungry people, I am afraid that I will die. I can't reach my husband!"

"Emperor Rensheng? Is Erniang talking about the current emperor?" Du Erlang said.

Mrs. Chen shook her head and said, "Son Rensheng is the eldest son in Beiping. Husband doesn't know his name? The Son of Heaven Rensheng even gave out the army rations to the hungry people. No one in Shandong knows his name!"

Du Erlang grabbed Chen Shi nervously and said: "Er Niang dare not talk nonsense! The son is the son, how can you call him the emperor?"

Chen said: "That's just a name. The son is the eldest son of the Holy One. He will be the emperor sooner or later. It's not the name I called out. If there is a benevolent emperor, the people of Shandong will be blessed."

"Crack!" Zhu Gaoxu beckoned, "Stop for a moment. It's not bad, the words are good, but some places are too heavy, you need to use emotion. There is not enough eyes. Chen, think about the kind of people who can't live, The feeling of being rescued suddenly. By the way, Shandong, when we first met in Shandong."

So Zhu Gaoxu asked them to perform it again, and ordered the rest of the day to rehearse and familiarize themselves.Then move on to the second scene.

Wang Gui held the teapot and pretended to be a doctor of tea.At this time, Mrs. Chen went over and asked, "Are you still short of manpower? We are from Shandong. We don't need wages, just give us food!"

"No shortage! There are enough people." Wang Gui said.

Chen Shi and Du Erlang fell to their knees with a "plop", Chen said: "I beg you to show kindness, we only ask for food, not wages!"

Zhu Gaoxu walked to the middle of the study with his hands behind his back, and said, "Don't disturb the guests, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Chen immediately said with a Shandong accent: "We want to help with work, and we are asking for food. We are not bad people from Shandong. We were originally farming honestly. We came to the capital only after the military disaster in our village. We only want food. Eat and live."

"That's right, we were starving to death in the village, so we escaped from the famine." Du Erlang said.

Chen said: "If the 'Rensheng Tianzi' hadn't sent people to distribute military rations to relieve the disaster, we would have starved to death!"

Du Erlang said in a deep voice: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, don't mention the names called by the people in Shandong. The Son of Heaven is not the Son of Heaven today."

"Sooner or later, as long as the benevolent emperor is here, the people of Shandong will be blessed." Chen said.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "We dare not use someone whose background is unknown and who has no acquaintance to recommend him. You can go to other places to ask."

Chen Shi and Du Erlang still said some words of thanks, got up and turned to leave.

After the performance, Du Qianrui brought tea and everyone took a breather.Du Qianrui asked softly: "My lord, will Erlang and the others be caught by the government for their secretive words?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "So be smart, go to a place to see the situation first before acting, and leave as soon as the performance is over. Even if the people in the government and Jin Yiwei saw it, this kind of thing is very complicated, and you will report it to the peak first, and you will have already run away by then. up.

I'll watch from the nearby carriage.It's really bad luck. If you are caught, I will come forward and show my seal to interfere with this matter.Don't worry. "

Zhu Gaoxu also reminded: "The two 'dramas' are like a drama but not a drama. When they are performed on the spot, the reaction of the good man of the tea house, the doctor of tea, and the shopkeeper may be different. You have to adapt to the situation according to the situation and finish the trick. Just shake out" The story of the Son of Heaven's benevolence and the charitable deeds of distributing military rations to the victims of the disaster, it's all done!"

After explaining everything, Zhu Gaoxu asked Du Qianrui and the two "actors" to stay. He and Wang Gui went back to the mansion first in a carriage, and agreed to come in a carriage tomorrow morning to pick them up to perform.

Wang Gui only cared about driving, and didn't ask any unnecessary questions.

Zhu Gaoxu closed his eyes in the carriage, still thinking about it.The key to this matter is in Shandong!

The most difficult place for the Northern Army to fight in the "Battle of Jingnan" was Shandong, with countless casualties and no progress, until the capital city was broken, and Jinan City was still in Tie Xuan's hands; Threatening the northern army on the flank... Therefore, all the officers and soldiers today and below all hate that place, and they had to burn, kill and loot several times; at the beginning of this year, Zhu Gaoxu was stationed in Jinan City with the army, and he saw with his own eyes that the army allowed the soldiers to plunder. here.

If the son bought people's hearts in other places, it would not be a big problem, but it would be subtle in Shandong.Father can't help but think of comparison.

The most confusing part of this scene is what Zhu Gaoxu learned from Gao Xianning, something that actually happened.

But everything still has the possibility of failure... Sometimes doing nothing is the safest way.Zhu Gaoxu thought of what he said "you win if you don't gamble", but what's the use of knowing the truth?

... Early the next morning, Zhu Gaoxu and Wang Gui went out in a carriage and came to the jade shop again.

He asked a few words about the practice, then picked up Du Erlang and Mrs. Chen and went out together. First, he went to an inn and restaurant near Jubao Gate.

The car rushed to a nearby alley, and the two dressed people got out of the carriage.

Zhu Gaoxu did not forget to remind: "If someone asks, Chen will say his surname is Li, and Du Erlang has to say his surname is Zhang. You have an accent from Jiangxi."

After the two answered, they went out of the alley.

After waiting for a long time, the two came back, went straight into the carriage, and reported that the performance was good and many people were watching.So Zhu Gaoxu immediately asked Wang Gui to drive away, and came to the Taiping Gate far away from this place, and asked them to go to a teahouse to perform in the same way.

Repeated this many times, until the afternoon, the situation was not bad, and he was not caught by Jin Yiwei's people on the spot.
