Chapter 780: Storytelling and Drama
"This is what I admire most about Your Majesty, you can also have fun and make sense, and it is true, it is really convincing." Guo Jia took a sip of wine and couldn't help sighing.
"Fengxiao, you don't seem to be much worse, you linger in those fireworks places every day under the guise of collecting intelligence, and you are also a family person, Boyi is now twelve years old, and you are still so unrighteous as a father." Xun You couldn't help but scold Guo Jiadao.
"Shaohua is easy to get old, and you should be happy in time." Guo Jia said indifferently: "Children have their own path to follow, and we don't have to interfere." ”
"If you don't interfere, don't fool around with a child if you're fine." Xun You said with a little anger.
The reason why he and Guo Jia don't deal with each other is this, his eldest son Xun Ji has been in poor health since he was a child, and he died early, but fortunately Yuan Shu took care of it, so that Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji were the two miracle doctors who took care of it. But at the time of his treatment, he was targeted by Guo Jia, an uncle who was also a patient. As a result, a humble gentleman who he had worked hard to cultivate for more than ten years was distorted by Guo Jia.
"You're too deadly in charge of the child, sooner or later he will be suffocated if he goes on like this, I'm just helping him release his nature." Guo Jiatian said shamelessly.
"This is how my Xun family has cultivated the younger generations for generations, so there are many talents today, and I still need you to help?" Xun You rolled his eyes and said.
"I don't know the hearts of good people. You ask Ji'er, has he learned less from me during this time? ”
"It's a lot, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't be here to warn you, but directly ask Your Majesty and Yuan Hao Education to educate you." Xun You snorted coldly.
"It is said that recently Jia has found that many people who perform dramas and tell stories have risen in various teahouses, and their content is very wonderful, far-reaching and thought-provoking, but I don't know if it is from the hands of His Majesty." Guo Jia asked suddenly.
"Oh?" A smile appeared on Yuan Shu's face: "Fengxiao, your sense of smell is really keen, and the content of these dramas and storytellings is indeed from me." I don't know the meaning of Fengxiao, can you see it? ”
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth hooked: "Your Majesty, is this a test of Jia?" In addition to the wonderful content of these dramas and storytelling, they also silently mixed with a lot of great Chu politics. At the same time, it is also promoting Your Majesty's policy ideas and shaping Your Majesty's glorious image, and its function is similar to that of newspapers, both of which are the mouthpieces of the Empire. ”
"Haha, Fengxiao really deserves to be Fengxiao, in a word." Yuan Shulang laughed.
"In order to open the wisdom and grasp the hearts of the people, Your Majesty, you have really worked hard. But why bother with these little things, Your Majesty? ”
"The importance of public opinion is by no means as simple as you think, although it is just a small story, but it has an important impact on the people, and it should not be taken lightly. This time, I just did it on a whim, and then I left it to the famous people to deal with, and I didn't need to interfere anymore. Yuan Shu said.
In this era of extreme lack of entertainment, the dissemination and influence of opera and storytelling are simply unimaginable, and they are basically the only entertainment behaviors involving literature among the people, and their effect is much greater than those sketches with some political colors and the task of promoting positive energy in the Spring Festival evening.
A good storytelling drama is even enough to turn the people's minds. For example, Yuan Shu's adaptation of the Commentary Tian Feng Case (Bao Gong Case) directly portrayed Tian Feng into a character like Bao Zheng, and after a lot of artistic processing, he became the master of the blue sky in the hearts of the people.
At the same time that this commentary was popular, countless complaints were sent by the people to the local government, and even some complaints involving officials and deep grievances were driven to Jinling by the bitter lord to kneel down and send them to Tian Feng. Taking advantage of this, Yuan Shu launched another wave of anti-corruption storms, pulling down a group of corrupt officials and evil gentry.
That's a lot of money. Newspapers may be due to various reasons, many people are not interested in and do not know much about it, but they are very fond of storytelling dramas, and for the people who do not know a few words, their propaganda effect is much stronger than that of newspapers, and the influence is not discriminate.
"Your Majesty is indeed eye-catching, and can always see what has been overlooked for us, but which is extremely important. If these commentaries and dramas are famous for eternity, we courtiers may be able to live together with Your Majesty for a hundred years. Guo Jia said with a smile.
He is not lying, there are many of them in the commentary compiled by Yuan Shu, and the story is also exciting. The original Three Kingdoms have been changed beyond recognition by Yuan Shu, so this product brazenly prepared a new version of "Romance of the Late Han Dynasty", and only waited for the world to be completely finalized and released in the world.
The draft of this book Guo Jia has seen in Yuan Shu, it is not as obscure as the history book, and it is written in a vernacular and story-based form, which is wonderful, even the people who don't know a single big word must sound like it. The characters are vivid and real, and the description of his Guo Fengxiao is also vivid, showing his intelligence and uninhibited image, and even gave him the title of "ghost talent". Guo Jia can be said to be extremely satisfied with this title.
"Fengxiao, don't worry, your prodigal nature has not been discounted at all, and it can definitely last forever." Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows at Guo Jia and said.
These commentaries must have undergone a certain amount of artistic processing, and the description of the characters is also biased. For example, Yuan Shu himself, that is definitely Gao Guangwei's image, there is no flaw at all, all kinds of excellent qualities are filled in, and what is created is a peerless master. As for the people of the previous dynasty, it is naturally after a certain degree of smearing, just like Liu Hong and Liu Xie, who deepened their faint monarchy.
Yuan Shu changed from a careerist and speculator who took the opportunity to make a fortune in the troubled times to an immortal hero who was forced to set up his own door to end the troubled times when the world was wandering, the country was rotten, and the people were struggling to make a living. Didn't Tang Taizong in history do just that? His father was mediocre and his brother was incompetent and insidious, so he was forced to fight back in order to protect himself, and had to kill his brother and force his father to abdicate in order to reassure the people of the world. What a singing and weeping story, what a benevolent and loyal emperor.
History is always written by the victors. What did the people understand? That is, they know the so-called truth, and in a few decades, when the next generation grows up and everything before cannot be verified, the false will become true.
Of course, Yuan Shu is not all made up, but it has been beautified to a certain extent, and some harmless Yuan Shu has not been deleted, such as Guo Jia's wandering. The more full and real the characters are, the more attractive they are, and the more people believe in the authenticity of his Yuan Shumingjun.
