Chapter 299    The Grand Theater (Part 2)

The plot was only taken up the right track after His Majesty summoned Concubine Xuan. Yang Yin summoned Concubine Xuan. At this moment, he did not pardon her, but wanted to ask her why she betrayed him and why she colluded with the rebels. The facts that Concubine Xuan, who was fearless, at this moment, were shocking. Concubine Xuan's family did have some connections with the rebels, but on the one hand, it was to protect the clan, and on the other hand, it was also under pressure. Unexpectedly, the leaked news was used by someone to persecute Concubine Xuan and the Lin family. When the empire was about to collapse, Yang Yin did not even tell the difference seriously. When he calmed down and began to think about these issues, everyone in the Lin family who could be captured had been executed, and Concubine Xuan was also tied to the stake.

In the play, Yang Yin had no time to regret and apologize. Concubine Xuan began a long list of questions: Ask how the Tang Empire would fall step by step, ask why absolute power led to absolute **, ask why Yang Yin did not have the courage to fall with the empire but was secretly planning a escape, ask why the generals who were still stationed in the imperial capital did not lead troops to resist the enemy, why these last loyal and straightforward people could not even get food and fodder, ask what made the once prosperous Tang Dynasty become like this, ask what made the Tang Empire and the imperial family, who were determined not to repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty, become such a group of cowardly and useless people...

This series of duets, which lasted for half an hour, mainly took place between these two characters, interspersed with various supporting roles on and off the stage, reporting various bad news. After the duet between the two, Concubine Xuan said that she would play another guzheng for Yang Yin, hoping that Yang Yin could allow her to go to the top of Xuanfeng Tower. She wanted to watch tonight, watch the rebels invade the imperial capital, and watch the empire demise. And Yang Yin actually agreed.

The next two scenes were the subsequent kings of various countries gathered together to discuss the matter of retreating the enemy. Everyone's hearts, thoughts and wills were constantly confronting each other. The other was the battlefield outside the city. The soldiers and officers at the bottom of the city struggled when the empire was destroyed, and then the rebels came to swallow up the desperate army that resisted one after another.

Then came the time when the kings of various countries gathered various forces to fight to the death. Yang Yin came, and when the supporting players kept reporting bad news, everyone finally rose up and unified their determination. As the last emperor, Yang Yin acknowledged the rationality of each other's establishment of their own country. He also decided to use the palace and the entire imperial capital as bait to ignite the entire city and the rebels to die together, so that everyone could break out separately. After sending off everyone who was preparing for the separate preparations, he entrusted his children and several princes to Chen Jia. Then, he began to exercise his power as the emperor, and enfeoffed the loyal ministers of various families who were still loyal to the imperial family. The scene was extremely sad.

The last scene was extremely grand, with a huge cast and group dances, which showed the performance of all parts of the imperial capital in the fire. Concubine Xuan was on the roof of Xuanfeng Tower, watching the fires all over the city. She sang compassionately and passionately, but in that song, she revealed this hint of joy, which made people creepy the madness of Concubine Xuan, but she also lamented the powerlessness of women in the era of heroes and knights. Finally, the whole drama ended with the sings of the future kings. Each actor had to sing a completely different lyrics, but he had to show a completely different personality, with tolerance, heroism, joy and sorrow. This is the most difficult and most outstanding scene for the actors, but the continuous repetition of the songs push the whole drama to the best.

Tan Weishi succeeded. Even in the time and space where Ye Tao and Tan Weixin belonged, such a big drama would inevitably cause a sensation, not to mention in this time and space where everyone does not have much antibodies to this kind of thing. The whole performance took more than an hour more than the two training sessions. Eliminated one-quarter of the intermission break and one-sixth of the hour of the curtain break, and the audience almost applauded at other times. Finally, the entire troupe ended eleven times before everyone gradually left. At this time, it was already late at night.

In the grand theater that day, representatives of all forces were shocked. There was never a country, and no one dared to treat the affairs of the previous dynasty with such an attitude. In the whole play, the last emperor Yang Yin was a tragic, but very complicated person. The role of Concubine Xuan, which is full of surprises and drama in everyone's interpretation, became an important clue throughout the play. Because of Liu Xiangyuan's outstanding performance, it left such a deep impression on everyone's mind.

If the audience was not very familiar with the secrets of the Empire back then, it was possible that this kind of play was just a curiosity and appreciation. But when there were so many specious things in the play and the real details of artistic processing, everyone couldn't help but think about it. After the shock brought to everyone by the play, everyone couldn't help but start to think about whether the play made by Tan Weishi had the instructor of Tan Xiaopei, what did Tan Xiaopei want to say, and who did she want to say to... This was exactly what this play could do. After the excitement of the entire troupe after its great success, it began to be disturbed by fatigue and fell asleep one by one, Tan Xiaopei, Ye Tao, Zhuo Mang and others gathered in a special VIP banquet hall in the Grand Theater, eating a sumptuous midnight snack while laughing, as if moving the court meeting tomorrow morning to the morning.

"Tonight, I don't know how many people can't sleep." Tan Xiaopei drank a glass of Bailing Tan and sighed. With him and many important officials of the Kingdom appearing in the audience at the same time, no matter how pure everyone's attitude towards watching the play is, there will always be people who will imagine it. For this play, it is enough to make some enthusiasts so excited that they can't sleep. Even himself is deeply moved by the singing of the play. The whole play seems to bring the sadness of the end of the empire to the eyes. Although everyone knows that the play is not reality, it expresses a stronger emotion than reality.

"Of course," Ye Tao replied with a smile: "I guess not many people dare to believe that this is just an ordinary play created by Wei Shi."

"The empire back then was the empire back then. After many years, fewer and fewer people can still know what happened back then. However, from today on, I am afraid that everyone will remember this story written by Shi'er... Ye Tao, the poems and sentences in the booklet that Xin'er gave to Shi'er seem to have been used in this play... What is the reason for the decline of the empire back then? There is no need to hide the fact that the more you dare not say it, the easier it will be to commit the same thing when the world is unified in the future.

I still know this truth. Some people will definitely think that Shi'er is arrogant, disrespectful to his elders, and disrespect his ancestors. Hehe. God knows. It is already a taboo to say that my Tan family was still loyal to the imperial family in the end. You must know that the old man of the Tan family was not such a good person. If it weren't for the books and gold, silver and jewelry he snatched from the imperial capital, how could it be so easy for me to establish a country in Dongping? When it comes to war and governance, would anyone do it?" Tan Xiaopei was excited, but Ye Tao did not make any comments.

Seeing Ye Tao a little confused, Tan Xiaopei said relaxedly: "You don't have to care. The old bandit of the ancestor of the Tan family actually robbed more books than gold, silver and jewelry at this time. When my father told us brothers, I was surprised for a long time. Unfortunately, my father could not see the grand occasion of Dongping today. If Dongping had the strength today, why would my brothers die in the battlefield? As the king of the country, I don't know how to govern the country. The grand occasions over the past decade are really thanks to Xin'er and you."

Ye Tao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Xin'er really knows how to manage, whether it is a city, a place or a country. I am the one who can spend money hard. Look, Yunzhou has been suffering from poverty for several years since the start of construction in Gondor City."

Huang Xuping said: "Can Yunzhou support you? Although you are about to go to war with Bei Liao, the Ministry of Revenue still has a lot of money deposited."

Zhuomang smiled and said, "Old Huang, Ye Tao can believe it even if he cries poorly. Look at Xin'er's struggle for not many years, and the inner government is almost comparable to the financial resources of the Ministry of Revenue. It is true that Yunzhou is spending money everywhere, but with Xin'er's ability, even if he can't say he is rich, he will at least have enough to deal with it. Lao Huang, you are not an expert in financial planning, so don't worry about this. If Yunzhou's financial resources are really tight, His Majesty would have transferred the money from the inner government to build Gondor, and he wouldn't have kept so much money in his hands to build a new capital."

As soon as Zhuomang mentioned the Xindu City, everyone's interests rose. After considering various situations, the Xindu City is still in the current Danyang location, and it is included in the current Danyang as an important area. To the west, the capital has a wind city and an iron city guarding, forming an unbreakable triangle. The canal project will be derived in the second phase and pass directly from the middle of the Xindu City to ensure that the Xindu City can enjoy the benefits of water transportation. After the construction of the Xindu City, various yamen in the current Danyang court will be moved, the palace will be moved, and all residents will be moved, and then the area in Danyang will be fully renovated.
