Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.On this night, the Zhenle Hall was crowded with people.Although only two hundred movie posters were distributed in total, there were actually a thousand people who came!Seeing this situation, Yuan Shikai ordered to divide the "audience seats" in the compound into two areas.The rear part is relatively large, but there are no seats, allowing fans to enter and watch freely; although the front row area is relatively small, but seats are prepared, there are people serving tea and water, and there are even a few temporary seats. An elegant room made of cloth.With a wonderful performance on stage, fans would not mind standing or sitting, even if they are hung on a tree.So everyone rushed in, and the standing area was immediately crowded.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 456 Inside and Out

In a "luxury" private room in the middle of the front row, Yuan Shikai watched the opera while knocking sunflower seeds, while listening to the explanation of the Peking Opera teacher.After a few days of study, Yuan Shikai is now a master of Peking opera. Although it is impossible for him to sing with two voices, his theoretical knowledge is extremely solid.Not only is he well aware of Yuan Shikai's singing, reciting, acting, and beating of Peking Opera, but he can also distinguish some more professional singing voices such as "Tang Yin", "Back of the Head", "Clouds Covering the Moon" and so on.

On the stage, Boss Tan and Boss Wang were auditioning for a play. Although it was a test play, it also attracted bursts of applause from the audience.

I saw the teacher who came from the opera troupe said: "My lord, look! This singing style is Boss Tan's unique 'cloud covering the moon'. Its singing is melodious and melodious, sometimes a little sentimental, suitable for excerpts like "Wen Zhaoguan" .”

At this time, a long tone on the stage ended, and Yuan Shikai also shouted with everyone, "Okay, give me a reward!"

As soon as Yuan Shikai's words fell, an official on the stage shouted: "My boss rewarded me, thank you—"

The actors on the stage suddenly stopped their performances and bowed to Yuan Shikai, while the audience looked dissatisfied at the owner's private room.If it weren't for the private room only facing the stage, it is estimated that Yuan Shikai could be killed by people's eyes.Seeing this situation, Yuan Shikai asked the opera teacher, "Sir, why is this?"

The gentleman smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, you can't call out this reward when you are in high spirits. You must wait until the end of the play at this moment, or give the reward when you get to the door, otherwise it will disturb the play!"

Yuan Shikai put away his embarrassment, and brazenly asked Liu Zhongji to announce: the master was too excited just now, so he didn't control it well, and the official repertoire will continue soon.

In fact, Yuan Shikai's study of opera was fake, and at this juncture, he didn't have the heart to deliberate about the matters of opera singing, he was just looking for a cover to deceive people's eyes and ears.This trick really worked, and soon, the spies of the Ninth Army reported the news to Fan Xuecheng's ears. Originally, after Fan Xuecheng received the post from the Yuan Mansion, he readily agreed to it without even thinking about it. Fearing that there would be fraud, Fan Xuecheng was a little bit guilty, and just to be on the safe side, he sent spies to pretend to be theater fans and sneak into Yuan's mansion to monitor Yuan Shikai's every move and the situation in the mansion.

Fan Xuecheng's hanging heart was relieved by the news sent back one after another. There was nothing abnormal in Yuan's mansion. It seemed that this was a birthday party. Moreover, Yuan Shikai was a drama idiot. I asked a few actors to tell me how to sing, which made me laugh out loud.Fan Xuecheng laughed dumbfounded when he heard this: "How? What did I say? Don't just listen to the rumors outside, saying how great Yuan Shikai is. This fact alone shows that he has a name in vain. I told him a while ago There came a disarming power, maybe it frightened his old boy, besides, we have guns and cannons in our hands, we are still afraid of his old Yuan, at worst, I will give an order and bring cannons to blow up his governor's mansion , I will find an excuse to report to the emperor later, saying that Yuan Shikai had a conspiracy, which was exposed by us in time."

Originally, according to Fan Xuecheng's intention, it would be enough to bring a few personal guards to the meeting, but the staff insisted again and again, and finally selected a hundred soldiers in hardcover from the army to follow, and marched to the new house of Yuan's Mansion in Jinyin Hutong.

For Fan Xuecheng's arrival, Yuan Shikai received him warmly. He specially spread a three-foot-three-long wool red felt in front of the door, and lit [-] firecrackers. Welcome, this kind of reception standard has never been seen in Singapore except for welcoming the emperor.Naturally, Fan Xuecheng was proud of himself, and he strode up to Yuan Shikai with his guards, cupped his hands, and said in a rough voice: "Fan Xuecheng, the commander of the Ninth Army, pays his respects to the Governor."

Fan Xuecheng was originally a subordinate in front of Yuan Shikai, but judging from his expression and demeanor, it was obvious that he was condescending.Yuan Shikai smiled all over his face, and said: "I am honored to be able to visit Commander Fan, and the Yuan Mansion is also flourishing. Haha..."

After saying "please", a group of people walked into Yuan's new house. Yuan Shikai exquisitely let Fan Xuecheng into his private room, where all kinds of dried and fresh fruits had already been prepared, and even smoke lamps and smoking guns were prepared. .After sitting down, the two exchanged a few pleasantries. Fan Xuecheng looked around and said in surprise: "My lord, today is an unprecedented event. Celebrities from all walks of life are here. Why don't you only see Commander Lu?"

Yuan Shikai knew that he was talking about Lu Yongxiang, so he looked at his pocket watch and said, "I have already posted the post, and the time should be almost up, why don't we start the show first."

Fan Xuecheng waved his hand: "Let's wait a bit, Commander Lu is on the same level as me, so I'm afraid it's not good to surpass him."

"Okay, my brother is still thoughtful, hehe."

At this time, Lu Zongyu walked into the private room and said to Fan Xuecheng in embarrassment: "Mr. Fan, those brothers under your command are armed with live ammunition in the yard, which makes the guests very uncomfortable. Since everyone is here, they are guests. You see Why not let them sit down and listen to the play together, I have already arranged the seats."

Fan Xuecheng frowned, thinking that if he didn't agree, he would look timid and timid. Even Yuan Shikai didn't dare to make a wrong decision about him, so he said to the captain of the guard beside him: "Go, go, tell them to find a place Sit down, and put your guns away, and don't stand there fucking in the way."

The captain of the guard felt that something was wrong, and when he was about to say something, Fan Xuecheng stared at him: "Go to hell, you won't even listen to my words!"

"Yes."

After some arrangements, most of the guards sat in the auditorium, and Lu Zongyu deliberately spread out their seats.At this time, more than 20 guards were following Fan Xuecheng.

At this time, someone outside the door shouted loudly: "Lu Yongxiang, the commander of the Tenth Army, is here!"

Yuan Shikai and Fan Xuecheng stood up and went outside to greet them together. Lu Yongxiang was different from Fan Xuecheng. No matter who he met, he always had a smile on his face.

The three sat down in the private room. When Lu Yongxiang saw the bong on the table, it was like seeing a dog with fleshy bones. He immediately became excited, and while lighting it, he said: "Your Excellency is really thoughtful, you know Apart from leading troops to fight, our men are good at this. Commander Fan, don’t be idle, hurry up..."

Yuan Shikai said with a smile: "This is a batch of new goods that just came in from Chile. After I asked them to carefully process [-] catties in Colombia, they are all the purest drug. There is no place to buy the money, if the two brothers like it, they will take it away."

Lu Yongxiang's eyes lit up: "Is what your lord said true? Then don't blame me for being greedy. Haha..."

Fan Xuecheng waved his hand and said indifferently: "Mr. Fan doesn't understand this way, let's leave it to Commander Lu to enjoy."

Lu Yongxiang said: "How can this be done? It's for the two of us. It's called blessing ointment. It can prolong your life. Take a sip to ensure that you will be happier than a god. Come, take a sip. If you don't taste it, you will discredit the governor. gone."

Yuan Shikai and Lu Yongxiang tried to persuade him again and again, but Fan Xuecheng refused and had no choice but to light a lantern, and the three of them sat around talking and chatting, puffing clouds and fog.After taking a few puffs, Fan Xuecheng felt top-heavy and floated up, as if this body was not his own anymore.

At this time, the butler Liu Zhongji came in and reported back: "My lord, the backstage is ready and the guests are all here. Do you think it's time to start the show?"

"Let's play, let's play, hehe."

As soon as the clapper sounded on the stage, one of Tan Xinpei's apprentices, who was well-known as the elite, first appeared on the stage with a curtain, and his debut won the applause of the whole house.

I saw him pretending to be Guan Gong, and said in white: "Come on~ Cao* will be kind to me in the future, and I will go to the military adviser to lead him to death. All the generals obey the order and spread them out~"

Although it was a warm-up scene, the enthusiasm of the audience has been completely aroused, and the voices of applause keep coming and going.After Yuan Shikai echoed "Yes", he said to Fan Xuecheng who was sitting next to him: "Is Commander Fan still satisfied with this "Hua Rong Dao"?"

"En, not bad, not bad. The young actors in the Chuntai Class have quite the demeanor of Cheng Changgeng..."

Yuan Shikai said: "That's right, it seems that Boss Wang has not sung for several years, but let a few disciples practice this kind of morality. It can be seen that people still have a chance..."

After hearing this, Lu Yongxiang interrupted with a dry cough: "Well, but this warm-up session is a bit short, Boss Tan will have to play soon..."

Yuan Shikai expressed regret and said: "Well, if Boss Tan and Boss Wang were not good at singing "Beating Drums and Scolding Cao", I would definitely arrange a complete "Huarong Road"."

Fan Xuecheng asked: "Oh? Your Excellency likes this movie?"

Yuan Shikai replied: "Well, I like this drama the most. Unexpectedly, Cao*'s kindness to Guan Yu that day made Guan Yu Huarong in a dilemma. One side is the righteousness of the emperor, and the other is Cao*'s kindness. Repaying kindness with death shows that Yun Chang is a person with righteousness as high as a mountain, and he is also a person who will repay kindness! I have respected such a hero who values ​​love and righteousness since I was a child, but it is a pity that there is no kindness like Meng De to help..."

Fan Xuecheng smiled faintly at Yuan Shikai: "If your lord is a good man who knows how to repay you, there will definitely be people who help you... yo~ Boss Tan has come out. Look at this appearance, it really shows your skills..."

Yuan Shikai sneered in his heart...

Tan Xinpei is worthy of being an idol in Liyuan. The audience below were fascinated by the performance of "Beat the Drums and Curse Cao", and he retreated to the backstage to unload after thanking the scene three times in a row.Fan Xuecheng finally escaped from the wonderful performance: "My lord, Boss Tan is working too hard today. I have never seen him sing twins for two consecutive performances!"

"Hehe, as long as Commander Fan is satisfied. Will there be Boss Wang's drama soon? This is today's main course!" If it weren't for the purpose of paralyzing Fan Xuecheng, Yuan Shikai would not have given Tan Xinpei 5000 yuan to kill him again. He sang about twins, but he had already settled the account. If today's matter can be successful, a mere 5000 yuan is nothing.

Lu Yongxiang also smiled and said: "Yes, yes, there is also Boss Wang's play, hehe... He hasn't sung this script for some years, I really want to hear his voice in the back of his head again!"

ps: Friends, I have saved enough manuscripts, I promise to make you feel good.The following will be the two-line plot of Qiao Zhiyong's order to land in the United States to establish a business kingdom and Yuan Shikai's rebellion.

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 457 Lands in the United States

"Hehe. That's right..." Yuan Shikai peeked at Fan Xuecheng's expression while speaking. At this time, the other party was completely absorbed in the stimulation of opium and the charm of Beijing accent, and he showed no signs of defense.

At this time, Liu Zhongji, the housekeeper, said quietly to Yuan Shikai: "Boss Wang from the Chuntai class saw that his master rewarded the Sanqing class with two thousand.

Yuan Shikai's face twitched twice, and he gritted his teeth. The big money has already been spent, so why care about the small money? Give it, give it as much as you want!

Fan Xuecheng didn't give it for nothing, he wanted to see if Yuan Shikai was really an opera idiot, so he asked: "My lord, I heard that you have done a lot of research on this Beijing opera, and I want to ask you for advice. Judging from the experience of the play, who is more victorious in singing skills, Boss Wang or Boss Tan?

Yuan Shikai rolled his eyes, knowing that the other party was testing him, and said with a smile: "Well, in my opinion, in terms of singing alone, the two have their own merits. One sings gently with clouds covering the moon, and the other sings vigorously with the voice behind the head. But this gorgeous Qiu (Wang Guifen Hall) has just recovered, and her breath is slightly inferior to Yingxiu (Tan Xinpei Hall)..."

"Stop talking, look, Boss Wang is here!" Before Yuan Shikai could finish speaking, Lu Yongxiang shouted with a big smoking gun.

On the stage, Wang Guifen yelled loudly in "Wujiapo", "I lost a horse in the camp..." Immediately won a thunderous applause, and even Fan Xuecheng, who had never been familiar with Peking Opera, couldn't help standing up and shouting. Come on.Wang Guifen's voice is characterized by a "rear voice" and a "squeaky sound". She speaks very loudly, and there still seems to be a lingering sound after singing.Wang's voice is like a kind of crispy jujube, a specialty of Beijing. The flesh is very firm, and it tastes crisp and sweet.The voice is high-pitched and thick, and he is good at using the dantian energy and the back of the head.Just a challenge firmly grasped the hearts of the audience.

Yuan Shikai continued what he said just now and said to Fan Xuecheng: "Wang Guifen, Tan Xinpei, and Sun Juxian are also known as the three masters of the Cheng family. Among the three, Sun Juxian is the oldest, Tan Xinpei is the second, and Wang Guifen is the youngest. Boss Wang's singing is different from other people. The most important thing is the use of voice. If you get the method, not only the high and low notes are pleasant to hear, but the mid-tone is especially good, and the charm is as strong as drinking alcohol. It has unique features that Tan and Sun can't match. Speaking of this, there is another interesting story..."

Fan Xuecheng had long heard that Boss Wang in Beijing is a member of the Liyuan family, but being famous is not as good as meeting him. Hearing today that he was really extraordinary, he naturally paid special attention to Boss Wang's affairs, so he asked, "What's interesting?"

Yuan Shikai smiled lightly and said: "When Cheng Changgeng was in full swing, Boss Wang was just a little trickster. Once, Cheng Changgeng was performing "Tianshuiguan" and suddenly fell ill before taking the stage. The audience in the front and backstage were all focused on the big boss Cheng. Chang Geng just came to the theater. If this happens, if someone comes out, it is like putting out a fire, and if he dares to go on stage, it also shows that he must have extraordinary courage and ability. At that time, Boss Wang was present among the three heroes of the Cheng family. , so he decided to take the stage calmly, and the audience was stunned by the challenge of "acting in charge of the mountains and rivers, planning a strategy". Most satisfied, even the entire backstage was amazed by everyone. The audience exclaimed: "Zhen is Chang Geng's second!"
