Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 223 The Value of Literature and Art

Zhao Ke's words are reasonable and reasonable, and everything is from the audience's point of view, most people can understand. No matter how unreasonable people are in this atmosphere, they can't make a fool of themselves, not to mention those heavy-backed palace guards who are still standing around the stage. If anyone dares to really stand up and act like a rascal, I believe they will definitely not stand idly by.

Therefore, the audience had no choice but to accept such a result with great regret, and repeatedly asked Zhao Ke to start the next scene as soon as possible, so that they could watch the following plot. Zhao Ke is such a clever person, how could he refuse such a request?

Li Shimin saw the audience's enthusiasm for "The Legend of the White Snake" with his own eyes, and his mind became active. I have to admit that Li Xin's idea may be feasible.

"The play is really good, but have you ever thought about it? If you want to compete with these aristocratic families, who in the world can compare?" Li Shimin thought for a while, and reminded Li Xin with some worry.

Li Xin smiled and said: "Your Majesty thinks highly of me. I didn't want to compete with the big family. Otherwise, I would just write articles. In this regard, I am still a little self-aware."

Compared with directly working hard on words with real knives and guns, using drama is more devious, hiding all the truths you want to express behind the superficial plot, and the audience is wider, even illiterate people Can understand.

In contrast, the aristocratic families who only know how to write articles are a bit uncomfortable, because their articles can only be understood by literate people. In the entire Tang Dynasty, there were not many people who could read and write. Who would read their articles?

This is what the great man of later generations once said, trapping bandits in the vast ocean of the people's war. Even if those aristocratic families saw Li Xin's purpose, how could they deal with it? Unless they also write scripts together and try to occupy the high ground of the public opinion war.

However, can this group of people really write works that can be compared with these classic scripts in Li Xin's mind? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.

What's more, from the perspective of literary and artistic development, understanding the value of human beings and the idea of ​​humanism are themselves more advanced ideas of literary and artistic creation. Works that abandon these ideas and try to express decadent concepts of grade and class will definitely not have vitality, nor will they be accepted and loved by the public.

From this point of view, Li Xin is already invincible. No matter how clever the pedants of those aristocratic families are, they will never be able to break through the essential flaws in their positions and thoughts.

Li Shimin didn't understand these historical materialisms that transcended his time, but after seeing the effect of this so-called drama with his own eyes, he still agreed with one point—this may be an important weapon against those aristocratic families.

"You kid, you just have a lot of ghost ideas."

Li Shimin picked up his wine glass and drank the remaining wine in one gulp, apparently in a good mood.

Empress Changsun next to her was smart, but she didn't understand what Li Shimin and Li Xin were talking about. She only knew that Li Shimin seemed to think that the play Li Xin made was a good thing. On this point, she fully agrees.

It is not conservative to say that drama is probably the most interesting thing she has encountered in her life so far. Even the clothes worn by the actors made her feel very amazing.

No way, the love of beauty may be a woman's instinct. Even the eldest grandson empress, who is the mother of the world, can't avoid the vulgarity, looking back and forth at those clothes several times. If she hadn't taken into account the majesty of her elders, she wouldn't have been able to resist asking for it.

"It would be a good thing if your method can be successful." Li Shimin did not hesitate to praise Li Xin, "but you have to be careful. These aristocratic families are usually dignified, but once it comes to threatening them, they can't help it." Let's do it."

Li Xin said with a smile: "With His Majesty here, I am not afraid."

Whether it was out of love for Li Xin or his own hostile attitude towards the aristocratic family, Li Shimin had no reason to refuse to shelter Li Xin.

Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled slightly, and in a rare way, he revealed a bit of a king's spirit in front of Li Xin. All along, he has always emphasized his identity as Li Xin's uncle in front of Li Xin. Only this time, Li Xin clearly realized one thing: the man in front of him is the master of the entire Tang Dynasty.

"Just do it." Li Shimin's words were very flat. But Li Xin can understand the weight of it.

After the play was over, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun returned to the palace safely under the protection of peerless master servants and a bunch of plainclothes guards with knives.

The next day, the effect of "Legend of the White Snake" was better than Li Xin had imagined. Under the spontaneous publicity of so many viewers who have watched "The Legend of the White Snake", the two names "Bai Suzhen" and "Xu Xian" are even more popular than the original Erguotou, and people in the streets and alleys are discussing this story. Even an eighty-year-old woman who does not know a single character can tell this story to others vividly and vividly through the original materials heard from others.

Of course, the story will inevitably lose its shape and change in the process of spreading like this, but generally speaking, its gist will not change. To some extent, this can be regarded as a process of collective re-creation by the masses.

Li Xin is very satisfied with this status quo. He who came from later generations knows very well that only works that are loved by others have power.
