Chapter 20: Guan Hanqing's knife is not old, Zhu Lianxiu's bitter life

Hangzhou is the old capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is very prosperous and easy to make money and support your life. At this time, it is the early summer season, passing through the Jiangnan resort, with flowers in full bloom and beautiful scenery. Zhao Jin didn't want to leave more and more, and happily followed Guan Hanqing and his party across the state and county. With such a protector with strong martial arts, the troupe naturally felt much at ease. In order to earn living expenses, they walked and performed in urban and rural areas without being bullied.

Along the way, Zhao Zhen and Guan Hanqing had a good relationship. You admire me for righteousness, and I admire your tenacity. You said that I am a hero. I said that you are talented. You asked me for martial arts. I learned all kinds of skills from you, so I became a friends of forgetful years. Guanfuzi is romantic and unrestrained. He not only likes to create, but also likes to participate in acting. He is an amazing person in the pear garden.

On this day, the troupe rehearsed, and one old and one young man sang Guan Hanqing's "Nanlu • A Branch of Flower • Bufu Lao", which was very happy!

[Guan Hanqing sings] Climbing out of the wall with flowers, folding the branches and willows on the road; the flowers are red and tender, and the willows are soft. The prodigal style.

[Zhao Jin beats the drum] Dong Dong Dong, Dong Dong!

[Guan Hanqing sings] With my broken willows and climbing hands, I will be defeated. Half a lifetime, I have folded willows and climbed flowers, and for a lifetime, I have slept with flowers and willows.

[Zhao Jin beats a gong] Kuang Kuang Kuang Kuang, Kuang Kuang!

[Guan Hanqing laughs and sings] I am the leader of the world's Langjun, the leader of the world's prodigal team. May Zhu Yan remain the same, have fun in the flowers, and forget the worries in the wine. Divide the tea and bamboo, play the horse and hide the lot, and be familiar with the five tones and six rhythms, which makes me very idle!

[Zhao Jinxiao] Look at you.

[Guan Hanqing walked and sang leisurely] Accompanied by a silver kite girl leaning on the silver screen in front of the silver stage, accompanied by Yu Tianxian ascending to the jade tower with jade hands and jade shoulders, accompanied by golden bamboo wafers holding golden bottles full of golden baskets.

[Zhao Jinheng] You are old.

[Guan Hanqing hit the sandalwood board] You said I'm old, take a break! I am the head of the show, and I am more exquisite and transparent. I am a handsome head of the Jinzhen flower camp, and I once played in the state.

[Zhao Jinyin] It's amazing! What a handsome flower camp! [ Playing gongs] Kuang Kuang Kuang!

[Guan Hanqing refers to Zhao Jin] Every child is a newborn rabbit in a thatched sand nest, and suddenly walks to the paddock.

[Zhao Yuqi] Rabbit lamb? Lift up, lift up!

[Guan Hanqing raised his hand to patrol] I am an old pheasant covered in a rope net, and I am familiar with it. After some bows and cold arrows and wax guns, he never fell behind. How can I waste the Spring and Autumn when I get to middle age?

[Zhao Jin's cry] Good old son! [ Drums and drums!

[Guan Hanqing's beard and singing loudly] I am a copper pea that can't be steamed, cooked, pounded, stir-fried, and resounds. Every time someone teaches you to get into his hoe, can't untie, can't untie, and slow thousand layers of brocade. I played Liang Yuanyue, drank Tokyo wine, enjoyed Luoyang flowers, and climbed Zhangtai Liu. I can also play Go, Cuju, play around, make gags, sing and dance, play, swallow, recite poems, and play double land. You have lost my teeth, don't let my mouth, lile my legs, and break my hands. God has given me these evil symptoms, and I still refuse to give up!

[Zhao Jinyin] You still won't stop! [ Knocking on a gong] Qiang~~~!

[Guan Hanqing's gradual ending], except for the king of hell's personal call, the gods and ghosts come to break, the three souls return to the hell, and the seven souls are sad. Oh, my God, in the meantime, they don't walk on the fireworks road!

[Zhao Yu knocks left and right]: Du Du Du Du Du, Hao, Hao~~!

This two living treasures, an old man and a young man, make the girls laugh all the time. After a song, the two laughed, left the crowd, and went out to play.

The scenery was beautiful, and Zhao Jin was very happy, but he saw Guan Hanqing suddenly look into the distance with a trace of displeaty on his face. Zhao Jin hurriedly asked, "Brother, you are so talented, rare, and accompanied by many good girls. What's wrong with you?"

Guan Hanqing sighed, "Life is often unsatisfactory. My pleasure is nothing more than a pleasure in suffering.

Zhao Jin nodded and understood that Guan Hanqing had actually hated this dark and corrupt society, especially the rampant hegemony of officials, bullying the people, and even swindling people's lives. It's just that an artist can't change the status quo, so he can only pretend to be crazy and talk to express his anger and entertain others.

In ancient China, officials were more important than merchants, and artists were as light as a feather. Guan Hanqing is talented but does not take the road of fame. He is willing to be an artist and create many works that reflect the hardships of the people. The West attaches great importance to art, and good artists can be treated well. Even the queen and prince will stop the carriage and take off their hats to pay tribute when they meet famous artists on the road. Guan Hanqing was born in the East that despised art, and his life was far worse than that of Shakespeare, the "Western Guan Hanqing" that emerged 300 years later. In fact, Guan Hanqing's talent is not inferior to Shakespeare, but the Chinese style in later generations. Guan Hanqing is not known to the world, so he has been known as "Shakespeare of the East". He is really sorry for this unique and upright artist in his life.

Zhao Jin was able to understand Guan Hanqing with a vision beyond this era, so Guan Hanqing led Zhao Jin as a confidant and told Zhao Zhen something on his mind. It turned out that Zhu Lianxiu, the righteous daughter of Guan Hanqing, was occupied by a powerful Taoist priest outside Yangzhou. Guan Hanqing was worried about this, but he had no choice. Every time he thought of it, he hated it.

Zhu Lianxiu is a woman that Guan Hanqing loves very much. In fact, she is not just a godfather and daughter. Guan Hanqing is an unrivaled talent, and Zhu Lianxiu is also a beautiful actress with all kinds of talents. The two of them cherish each other. Zhu Lianxiu had a deep affection for Guan Hanqing. She refused to associate with the powerful, but was willing to suffer with Guan Hanqing. When Guan Hanqing's representative plays "Dou E's Injustice" was first performed, Zhu Lianxiu played Dou E. Zhu Lianxiu's performance was very engaged, and every word was full of grief and indignation:

"Every official has no intention to correct the law, which makes it difficult for the people to speak!"

"The poor for good will live shorter, and the evil will enjoy wealth and longevity!"

"Land, you don't know what's good or wrong? God, you are wrong and stupid!"

The audience was deeply infected and burst into tears! Dou E's wrongdoing became a famous play. Until modern times, there is a saying: "I'm more unjust than Dou'e!"

However, an excellent actress like Zhu Lianxiu was forcibly occupied by Taoist priests. Zhao Jin was furious: "Where is the Taoist priest? Is it as powerful as Ahma? At this time, the troupe sent a Wusheng panic to tell: The little man who stayed in Yangzhou to inquire has found out that it was the big bully who smashed the stage in Yangzhou city that day, and the main brain behind the scenes was Hao Zhen!

"Hao Frame? Who is Hao Frame? Zhao Yu didn't understand.

It turns out that Hao Xian is Ahma's right-hand man. According to the official system of the Yuan Dynasty, the Pingzhang political affairs of the province in the imperial court are equivalent to the prime minister, and the Pingzhang political affairs of each province are equivalent to the governor. Under Pingzhang's political affairs, it is to participate in political affairs. Hao Zhen is the right-hand political affairs of Zhongshu Province in today's Yuan Dynasty!

Not only Hao frame, but also two political parties in Zhongshu Province, and the other is Geng Ren, a left political scholar, who belongs to the same party in Ahma! They are in a high position and powerful, following Ah Ma to corrupt the law and do all kinds of evil!

The Yuan Dynasty divided the domestic ethnic groups into four classes, first-class Mongolians, second-class Semu people, third-class Han people (including northern Han and northern ethnic minorities), and fourth-class southerners (including southern Han and southern ethnic minorities). However, there are also Mongolians and erotic people who are poor and become slaves, and there are also Han people and Southerners who climb to high positions to oppress the people.

Just because Guan Hanqing's plays ridiculed corrupt officials, Hao Zhen visited the south of the Yangtze River and heard these operas. He sat down and thought that he was insinuating himself. He was very unhappy and secretly ordered the local officials to settle down. The local official was worried that he was not guilty of arrest, so he bought the big bully to smash the table and told Guan Hanqing to be disabled. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jin came out and disabled the big bully.

Zhao Jin and Guan Hanqing rushed back to discuss with everyone. Everyone said that Hao Frame was very difficult to deal with, and there must be more powerful ways to deal with the troupe, which was very worried.

Zhao Yu patted the table and gritted his teeth: "Ahema! You have a holiday with me, but I haven't settled with you yet! Now your turtle grandson is coming to bully my friends again! I swear I won't break up with you!" Then he shouted to the crowd: "Listen to me - we are against it!"

The boys were shocked: "Is it the opposite?"

The women were so anxious that they wanted to cry and thought, "I don't have the power to bind chickens, do I also oppose my benefactor?"

Zhao Jin shouted, "Yes, it's the opposite! You have offended the corrupt official Hao Zhen. Anyway, it's very troublesome. Why don't we stop doing nothing, smash the Taoist temple and rescue Miss Zhu Lianxiu, and then join together, hire a sea boat, and go to Hainan Island together!"

Everyone is puzzled: "Hainan Island?"

Zhao Jin said urgently, "Yes! It is a huge island in the South China Sea, second only to the treasure island of Taiwan.

Now even the erudite Guan Hanqing was confused and thought hard: "Treasure Island Taiwan?"

Zhao Jin explained: "Taiwan is Yizhou, a big island that the Eastern Wu navy went to during the Three Kingdoms. Hainan Island is Yazhou, also known as Qiongzhou. Qiongzhou, you should know, right?"

Guan Hanqing nodded: "Qiongzhou, you can know a little about it."

Zhao Jin said, "Brother, the emperor in Qiongzhou is far away, and it is suitable to take refuge. And I have acquaintances over there, so I can take everyone in. Miao people there are very friendly. After you go there, you don't have to worry about their livelihood. It's easy for men to herd cattle and cut firewood, and women's spinning and weaving. As for you, I suggest you carry water specially.

Guan Hanqing couldn't help wondering: "Why do you carry water?"

Zhao Yu smiled mysteriously: "Anyway, you're right to listen to me. You must fall in love with this job."

The troupe thought carefully and felt that they could only do what Zhao Jin said. Since you have offended the ama party, you have to escape as far as possible. Everyone summoned up their courage and turned against it! So the woman and the child packed their bags and went to the seaside of Yinzhou (later Ningbo) to hire a boat. Zhao Jin, Guan Hanqing and a group of men disguised as incense guests and went to the Taoist temple to worship. They made a scene and smashed the Taoist temple and rescued Zhu Lianxiu.

When Genghis Khan was there, Qingcheng Taoist priest Qiu Chuji was very trusted. He advised Genghis Khan to kill less and feed the people, which was quite meritorious. After Qiu's death, his disciples Li Zhichang and Yin Zhiping were favored by the court and had good deeds. But later, some powerful Taoist priests instead adhered to the emperor's kindness and respected the people and became powerful and blessed. As a monk, Taoist priests are generally not governed by the law, and their evil deeds can be covered up in the name of Taoism. It is more convenient to break the law than to be an official. When officials break the law, the people spit on them; Taoist priests break the law, and the stupid people still protect them! Some fools were bewitched, went bankrupt, and offered their wives and daughters to Taoist priests.

The historical ending of Zhu Lianxiu is that he was unfortunately robbed by a powerful Taoist priest. He was beautiful and died in a few years. But in this world, Zhao Zhen helped Zhu Lianxiu out of the sea of suffering.

Everyone followed Zhao Jin to break the Taoist temple, rescued many women, beat the bastard old man who loved to rob people's women, robbed him of the money he had accumulated in his life, and gave it to the women to let them go home to live. If you are a homeless woman, follow everyone and settle down on Hainan Island!
