Chapter 508 Cao Mengde's Official Position

"Huangmei Opera?" Hearing Han Zhan say this, except for Guo Jia, Chen Dao, Luo Bu and other few insiders, the rest of the civil and military officials were confused. They looked at each other and asked their colleagues in a low voice: "Do you know what Huangmei Opera is?"

"I don't know!" The person who was asked naturally shook his head and replied blankly: "This is the first time I have heard of it."

Some people also replied: "There is a word 'play' in the middle of Huangmei Opera. Could it be that it is the hundred operas we know?"

Seeing that everyone was talking, Guo Jia stood up and smiled at everyone, saying, "Everyone, please be calm and go back to their respective positions to sit down. It is not difficult to know what Huangmei Opera is. However, I can't explain it clearly after the Lefang woman arrives, and you will know."

The time was not long, and a group of women from the music shop led by Ba Gu to the main hall. Seeing so many people sitting in the hall, they were all shocked. Ba Gu plucked up the courage to come forward and salute Han Zhan: "I have seen the Marquis!"

"Eighth Aunt!" Han Zhan saw that Eighth Aunt looked frightened, and said to her with a smile: "I am here to invite a banquet for civil and military officials in Jizhou here today. You can order the girls in Lefang to sing a yellow plum show to us to cheer us up!"

"Dare to ask the marquis!" Bagu asked in a panic: "I wonder which one to sing?"

Hearing Bagu’s question, Han Zhan couldn’t help frowning slightly, and then said, “Now you have rehearsed the familiar Huangmei Opera, don’t you have only two. I’ll sing them all tonight so that my subordinates can also see them.”

The eighth aunt agreed and greeted the women to take their seats and prepared to sing the opera: "Girls, let's arrange for rehearsals like usual, and each will take their place, and prepare to start sing the opera. First sing "The Female Prince Consort" and then sing "The Fairy's Match"."

The two civil servants sitting aside heard what the eight aunt said to the women in Lefang. One of them asked curiously: "Female Prince Consort, what a strange name, how could a woman become a Prince Consort in this world?"

The person asked naturally didn't know what was going on, so he could only smile bitterly and say, "My brother, don't be impatient. After a moment, your doubts will be revealed."

When the women in the Lefang were in their seats and were about to sing "The Female Prince Consort", Rob had already brought people to deliver the wine and food. When the officials who had just started the banquet heard the women sing "The Female Prince Consort", they immediately stopped eating and drinking, and began to listen to the beautiful singing of the women seriously.

When the lead singer Xianger finished singing the first paragraph, Han Zhan first applauded: "Sing well!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall also echoed: "Sing well, it's true that it's singing well!"

Tian Feng even stood up and asked Han Zhan: "Lord, this song is so beautiful, this is the first time I have heard it, but I don't know who created it?"

Han Zhan didn't say anything, but just laughed twice. Guo Jia, who was sitting in the lower head, hurriedly said, "Yuan Hao, is it necessary to say that Huangmei Opera was naturally created by the lord. Even the "Female Prince Consort" that was being sung was written by the lord himself."

When Tian Feng learned that the Huangmei Opera was created by Han Zhan, he was stunned at first, then gave Han Zhan a thumbs up and said sincerely: "The lord is really a genius."

Han Zhan thought that according to Tian Feng's personality, he might advise him not to lose his ambition, but he was still a little surprised to hear that he actually praised him and couldn't help but feel a little happy. While he was happy, Han Zhan said to the civil and military officers who were listening to the sensation in the hall: "Everyone, if anyone likes to listen to this Huangmei Opera, you can send the singers from your family to learn to sing, so that even if you stay at home, you can still hear Huangmei Opera at any time."

When the civil and military officials heard Han Zhan say this, they were overjoyed and hurriedly stood up to thank Han Zhan together: "I (the last general) thank you lord!"

…………

The next morning, Xun Yu went to court as usual. As soon as he walked to the palace gate, he saw many civil and military officials from the court gathering together and whispering. Seeing Xun Yu appear, everyone immediately became quiet and turned their eyes to Xun Yu who was about to enter the palace gate.

"Xun Shao Mansion." The Grand servant Zhao Qi walked out of the crowd, bowed to Xun Yu, and said with a smile: "It's polite and courteous!"

Xun Yu is the chief minister of Jizhou and also serves as the young mansion in the court. Zhao Qi is inferior to him. At this moment, he saw the other party coming to say hello to him, and hurriedly bowed back: "Yu has seen Mr. Zhao!"

Zhao Qi walked to Xun Yu, put an arm on his shoulder, and walked towards the palace with him in his arms, and seemed to be carelessly asked: "Shao Xun Mansion, I originally wanted to invite you to my official's mansion for a banquet yesterday. Who knew that after sending someone, I realized that you had gone to the provincial governor's mansion. What a pity. Why don't you visit my official's mansion after the court is dispersed today? "

Xun Yu is such a smart person. From Zhao Qi's initiative to say hello to him, he guessed that the other party must have known that the civil and military officials in Jizhou went to the provincial and ministers' mansion yesterday. He just wanted to understand indirectly what everyone was going to the provincial and ministers' mansion for. After all, some time ago, the minister Yang Qi and others demoted to Qingzhou, which once made all officials in the court frightened. It was estimated that many people had not been asleep all night last night, just to figure out why Han Zhan summoned his subordinates.

Seeing the officials not only far away, he looked at him with a panic look on his face. Even Zhao Qi beside him had an unnatural expression. Xun Yu smiled faintly and then said, "My lord said that Cao Mengde, the prefect of Dongjun, is a capable minister in governing the world. If he just becomes a prefect, it would be too incompetent. My lord asked me to recommend Cao Mengde to the court to His Majesty for his behalf."

"This is true?" Zhao Qi couldn't help but stop and ask in surprise when he heard this: "Yesterday, Anyang Hou Zhaoer and others entered the mansion to support Cao Mengde in the court as an official?"

"That's right, it's exactly this." Xun Yu asked with a smile: "Does the Taifu don't believe what I said?"

"No, no." Zhao Qi waved his hand quickly and said with a smile: "How could I not believe in the principles of Xun Shaofu? I just asked so casually. Please don't take Xun Shaofu to heart."

The civil and military officials in the distance saw Zhao Qi and Xun Yu chatting and laughing. They thought that what happened last night might have nothing to do with him, so they walked towards the palace gate. When they approached Xun Yu, they took the initiative to say hello: "Xun Shao Mansion is polite and polite!" Seeing so many officials greeting him on their own initiative, Xun Yu greeted everyone with a smile on his face.

Everyone came to the court and just stood in their own position. A small yellow gate walked out of the curtain beside them and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is here!" As soon as they finished speaking, Emperor Xian of Han walked out in a swagger and appeared in front of all civil and military officials.

After the civil and military officials finished their greetings, Xiaohuangmen walked to the middle and shouted in a sharp voice: "If you have something to do, you will leave the shift if you have nothing to do!"

As soon as the Xiaohuangmen finished speaking, the civil and military officials couldn't help but turn their eyes to Xun Yu, because everyone knew that he had a memorial. In the eyes of everyone, Xun Yu walked out of the queue openly and bowed to Emperor Xian of Han and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have a memorial!"

Emperor Xian of Han also received a secret report. He knew that Han Zhan had summoned the civil and military officials in Jizhou to the palace. He was worried that Han Zhan would be unfavorable to him. Therefore, when he heard Xun Yu say that he had a memorial, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. However, in front of all the civil and military officials, he still asked happily: "What's the matter with Xun Qing to report it!"

"Report to Your Majesty." Xun Yu knew from the attitude of Zhao Qi and others that he did not explain the matter clearly. The people present might not feel at ease. So he praised Cao Mengde first according to the attitude he had discussed with Han Zhan last night, and finally said: "Your Majesty, my lord believes that Cao Mengde is a rare capable minister in governing the world. It would be too insignificant to let him serve as a mere prefect. I especially beg yourselves to surrender his grace and recruit Cao Mengde into the court as an official."

When Emperor Xian of Han was stunned when he learned that Han Zhan summoned the civil and military officials of Jizhou last night to recruit Cao Mengde to the court. After a while, he asked tentatively: "Shao Xun Mansion, Marquis of Anyang will ask you to report this matter on your behalf? There is nothing else?"

"This is the only thing, nothing else."

Xun Yu's words gave Emperor Xian of Han a reassurance. He thought that Han Zhan might be in danger of his position by recruiting civil and military officials in Jizhou. When he learned that the discussion was just a discussion to let Cao Mengde enter the court, he put down the huge rock in his heart and asked casually: "I wonder what official position does Anyang Hou think I should grant Cao Mengde?"

"The position of Taichangqing in the court is empty," Xun Yu had long studied with Han Zhan what official position to grant Cao Mengde, so in the face of Emperor Xian of Han, he answered confidently: "Cao Mengde can be granted this position."

Taichangqing was an official in charge of sacrifice. Although his position was high, he had no real power. Not only Emperor Xian of Han could not control so many things. As long as he did not threaten his status, he would agree to the request made by Han Zhan. After coughing gently, he said, "Authentication! Where is the tutor Ma?"

Hearing the order from Emperor Xian of Han, Ma Riyi, who was standing in the queue, immediately walked out and bowed and bowed: "I am here!"

"I have appointed you as an angel and went to Cao Mengde, Dongjun to issue an order to grant him the position of Taichangqing." Emperor Xian of Han looked at Ma Rizhen and said, "I ordered him to enter the capital quickly."

The civil and military officials on both sides couldn't help but feel relieved when they heard Emperor Xian of Han and recruited Cao Mengde to become an official. Last night, when they learned that the civil and military officials in Jizhou went to the provincial governor's mansion, these people became frightened birds, worried that Han Zhan would do something big, so that everyone was in danger. At this moment, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they learned that they were just to discuss recruiting Cao Mengde to become an official in the court. Naturally, no one would object to Han Zhan's proposal.

Seeing that Emperor Xian of Han drafted the imperial edict and handed it to Ma Rizhi to go to Dongjun to announce the imperial edict, Xun Yu stepped out again and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have this memorial!"
