When Yun Xi heard this, he immediately took the fold from Wang Xi's hand, opened it and looked at it, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Zanyi really didn't disappoint me as an uncle." On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, he led his troops to conquer Nanding City. ”

"Congratulations to the official." Zhu Yang said immediately.

It just so happened that the cross talk on the stage had finished speaking, and Yun Xi was a little loud just now, and the people who didn't hear it clearly hurriedly asked, "What was the official family talking about just now?" When he heard that Zhu Zanyi led his troops to capture Nanding, he was also busy congratulating. Seeing this scene, Wang Xi hurriedly glanced at the eunuch who was in charge of arranging the performance, and the eunuch stopped the next person who was going to perform on stage.

Yun Xi smiled: "You shouldn't congratulate me, but congratulate Zanyi." ”

"Zanyi is not here now, how can we congratulate him? In any case, Zanyi is not only the nephew of the official family, but also the courtier of His Majesty, and he has made a contribution to leading the troops to fight, of course, he must congratulate the official family. Someone said.

Yun Xi laughed and talked to them for a while before stopping, and sat down again to watch the next performance.

Yun Xi looked at the twists and turns carefully. I saw that it was written: "......, on the night of the twenty-fifth day of the fourth lunar month of the previous day, the Annan garrison stationed in Nanding City went out of the city to attack the camp, burned the army of three percent of the grain and grass,......, fortunately the Tongshi Sheren He Wenchang took the opportunity to respond, led the Miao soldiers of the three departments of Yunnan education and the musket of Minwangfu to rescue the grain and grass camp, blocked the soldiers of Annan,......, the grain and grass camp thousands of households had high leaves, and in order to protect the grain, the department fought a bloody battle with the Annan people, and died in battle; His son Ye Yiwei was in a thousand households with him, and he was almost killed in battle,......"

Yun Xi suddenly let out another "ah". Causing everyone around him to be puzzled, he hurriedly lowered his head and continued to look at the song fold again, thinking about the matter of Ye Zigao.

Ye Zigao is Baoqin's biological father, in his opinion, the relationship between father and daughter is fine, but he died in battle like this, how should he explain to Baoqin?

He hadn't thought about the fact that there would be a concubine's relatives who died in battle, after all, he had sent so many concubines' families in the army, and it was very common for someone to die in battle, and he had an estimate of who should be posthumously sealed, and how to talk to the concubine, but he never thought that Ye Zigao, who was theoretically the safest and served as a grain and grass officer, would die in battle.

'The famous weapons of the imperial court should not be indiscriminately rewarded, although Ye Zigao has made meritorious contributions, but he is not worthy of an earl, and even posthumously awarded the command envoy is too high, and Zanyi is most likely deliberately written high because he is the father of Baoqin. However, it doesn't hurt to chase him up a little, so he will be posthumously crowned as a commander. It is more appropriate for Ye Yiwei to seal the hereditary thousand households, and it will be decided according to Zanyi's opinion. ’

As for how to explain to Baoqin, it is better to tell Baoqin in person after I return to Beijing. I personally told her that if she was angry, she would have a seizure on the spot, and the provincial me would not hold it in front of her, so that she and I would be separated. ’

Yun Xi thought about it, and instructed Wang Xi: "You pass the order, Ye Zigao's death in battle is not allowed to be transmitted to the capital, and every letter written by Ye Yiwei to the capital must be checked, and no one with the news of Ye Zigao's death in battle will be sent." ”

"Send an order to Zhang Wen and Zanyi, transfer Ye Yiwei to Guangzhou, and not participate in the next battle of Annam."

"Yes, official." Wang Xi agreed and stepped back to give the order.

Yun Xi sighed, folded the song into his sleeve, raised his head and continued to watch the performance.

After looking at it for a while, Yun Xi said to Zhu Xianxi: "Xianyang, how is the port in Puluo Zhongcheng repaired now?" ”

"I can berth big ships, but there are not many such docks, and it is still difficult for the sailors I have assigned to dock at the docks, and most of the time they can only dock in Palembang."

"And a shipyard capable of repairing large ships has not yet been built. Big ships are not the same as small boats, small boats can be repaired with skilled boatmen, and big ships involve too many things, and they have to have a special dock to complete, and they have not yet been built. He replied.

"Speed up the construction of shipyards and ports." Yun Xi said: "You also know that the location of your Puluo Midtown is very important, and it is at the throat from the West to the South Sea, so you have to manage it well. In the future, I will send sailors to further explore the Western Ocean, but I will need to anchor in the ports of Puluo and China. ”

"What? Your Majesty will still divide the princes in the West in the future? Zhu Xianhui asked with some surprise.

Yun Xi didn't answer, but thought in his heart: "Of course, we will divide the princes in the West. If it is not divided in the West, how can there be so many places to place the prince? Besides, it can't interfere with the Central Plains in the West anyway, so why not seal it? ’

And India is very rich, and it must be held in the hand in the future, whether it is divided or not. ’

Yun Xi thought about it and was about to talk to him, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing. At a glance from the side, it was Zhu Youstew who walked in from the gate, and just sat down in his seat, feeling very sluggish.

Yun Xi hurriedly walked over and sat beside him, and said with a smile: "Just came back from the toilet? ”

"Imperial brother, you will be made fun of your brother. I'm already in prostration. Zhu Youstew said weakly.

Yun Xi laughed a few times and said, "Okay, I won't make fun of you." I see that although you went out a few times just now, you listened to every opera and didn't fall behind. ”

"When I finally come back to Guangzhou, of course, I have to take a hard look at the local opera. Although there are many of their lyrics that I can't understand, I can guess the eight or nine with the repertoire, which corresponds to the operas of Beijing and Kaifeng, and learns from each other's strengths. He said seriously.

Yun Xi talked to him about Cantonese opera for a few words, and said: "It just so happens that you came to Guangzhou this year, and the imperial brother has something to ask you." ”

"In two days, the imperial brother found a few Annan actors and storytellers, let you watch their operas, listen to their favorite jokes, and then you first make up a few stories about the ordinary people of Annan who were oppressed by the officials of the Hu Dynasty, and after the soldiers came, they made up the decisions for the people and punished corrupt officials."

"Secondly, write a few protagonists who have the talent of the world, but Hu Chao does not use it, after the Ming Dynasty came, Zhu Zanyi knew people well, promoted and reused, and let him show his life's ambitions."

"My brother knows, it is to promote the good of the Ming Dynasty and the bad story of the father and son of the Hu family, which is easy to say, difficult to say. It's easy to say, just adapt the current similar operas in China according to the customs of the locals; It's hard to say that it's not easy to write an opera that shakes people's hearts and makes the audience cry. Zhu Youstew said.

"It's easy to write a few first.,Make do.,You go back to Kaifeng and remember this matter.,And then write a book that can be passed on to future generations.。 Yun Xi said.

Zhu Youstew agreed and said, "Brother Huang, don't worry about this, right?" At present, most of the land in Annam has not been occupied, and the time is still growing, so there is no need to fool around with shoddy work first. ”

Yun Xi was about to speak, but at this time, Wang Xi walked behind him again and said softly: "Your Majesty, another good news from Annan." ”
