Crown Tang emperor

Today, Fang Rong is also very enthusiastic. Although Quchifang is not under his rule, he personally leads a group of yamen servants to help out and help maintain order.

After some personal exchanges, the young king and all the guests sat down in the tent.

One of the large tents is more than ten feet wide, and screens are erected around it to block the scorching sun and dust. Bamboo mats are laid in the big tent to keep people from touching the soil. There are a large number of musical instruments on one side, and There are many cages containing performance costumes and props.

In the old year of the young king, there were always voices in the mansion, but it was not easy to combine dance and music when mourning, so only a few people close to him were brought along, and the whole voice staff stayed in the capital of God to recuperate.Yang Sixuan, who went to the capital of God, also brought these sound artists to Chang'an. He is now adjusting the instrumental music on the venue and preparing to perform.

While Li Tong was chatting with the crowd, Li Shouli sneaked into the crowd of voices, and soon returned in a daze, sitting in the banquet sullenly.

Seeing him like this, Li Tong couldn't help asking curiously, Li Shouli immediately expressed emotion, patted Li Tong on the shoulder and sighed: "Admonish Saburo, actors and actresses are the most ruthless, just flirting around, don't worry about it." .”

Mi Baizhu, the musician who eavesdropped on the other side, stepped forward and knelt down after hearing the words, and said angrily, "That whore is so promiscuous, she wronged the king's mood, and after she was transferred, she was kicked out of the mansion!"

When Li Tong heard this, he realized that it was Li Shouli who was obsessed with Mi Baizhu's daughter, Mi Daman. After finally waiting for the beautiful woman to arrive, he couldn't help but go forward to reminisce about the past, only then did he realize that Hu Ji was already a married woman and very fertile. , Hold three for two years.

Seeing Li Shouli's sad face, Li Tong couldn't help laughing.Jiaofang Yinsheng belongs to a lowly family, does not intermarry with all kinds, and his own living environment is inevitably closed, so his life style is also out of control, and it is common to marry a wife and husband, which is not the same as the outside world.

Although Li Tong often interacts with these musicians, he only stops at the vocal arts, and neither asks nor confuses his private life.Although there are often beautiful women among them, there are too many beautiful people in this world, so there is no need to bother about it.

Li Shouli was fascinated when he first saw Hu Ji in Neijiaofang in the old year, and he couldn't forget it even more, but because his aunt Fang was watching, he really didn't dare to tease the actress. Now that the flowering period is missed, naturally there is a feeling of disappointment, and he shouted at the table. : "Let Lingle come on stage, I won't return today if I'm not drunk!"

"An orchid who loses her love deserves a big hurt? Later, when the group of performers from the Guishuang Sound Hall arrives, I will introduce them to the king. They are all excellent in sex, tender and smooth, and their voices are not as good as Jiaofang's."

Dugu Qiong is also very concerned about King Yong, who will become her sister-in-law. Seeing him sad, she comforts herself. They talk together for a while, with an obscene look on their faces, and after a while, they leave with their arms around their shoulders. I don't know where they went .

During the vocal audition in the tent, there were also constant visits by visitors.Today's scene is set up for the first time, but there are no major entertainment items, the main thing is to walk around and communicate with people.

Dressed in a Hu suit, Yang Li led a number of owners of the Pingkangfang Kungfu Hall to pay a visit to the King, including Master Mo, whose outstanding vocal skills left a deep impression on Li Tong.

"Pingkang's performers are appreciated by the king, and they are honored to do elegant things. There are high-level cases in the hall for distinguished guests, hoping to present their sensuality and finesse. It's a pity that the hall is poor and clumsy, and the nobles don't reward them. Right now, they are even more serious I'm nervous, afraid of losing my sense of elegance, I'm going to ask for advice, how should I tease you?"

The owners of Pingkangfang were both male and female, and a middle-aged man in a blue round-collared gown, as a representative, stepped forward to ask respectfully.

"I have the enthusiasm for teasing, but I regret that my spirit is lacking and I don't care. It makes everyone hesitate. I want to apologize."

Although Li Tong proposed the Gathering, he was concerned about the many chores that followed, and he really didn't have the energy to care about everything. Those who were really enthusiastic about it were those related to it.As for the group of performers he imagined to set up their own stage to compete, Wu Youyi is still stepping up the stockpiling of hemp goods, and it will take a few more days to keep the atmosphere too high before it can be staged.

"Miscellaneous things are extravagant, and I have my servants to manipulate, how dare I disturb the king."

Yang Li said with a smile: "All the halls are taking the liberty to ask, because there are very few fixed-point performances in theatrical performances. The old chapters of the king are indeed beautiful, but since today is a happy new event, the masses are naturally thirsty for new voices."

As she spoke, she stared at the young king half anxiously and half expectantly. She loved the young king's speeches so much that she even dreamed of going forward to invite one in person. Now that her dream has come true, she is naturally very excited.

However, because of the assistant Wang's residence, especially her cousin Yang Xianzong, although Yang Li still doesn't know a lot of inside information, she can also see that the young king is by no means a person who indulges in love. I haven't entered.

Although it is not clear what the young king is planning, Yang Li can also see that the young king has no intention of it. After making this request, she not only looks forward to the young king's amazing appearance, but also worries that the big king is in a hurry and cannot complete the article.

Chapter 0260

Elegant collection of essays, talent and beauty, are all their due meanings.Since Li Tong came here, he also had his own preparations.

But right now he is not in a hurry to come up with his new works. He just looked at the owners of these trick halls and said with a smile: "Today, Qujiang people gather together, pearls and talents gather together, and it is a great joy to help the elegant and interesting group. All of you who are involved Presumably there are also visits and requests, can you present them for a look?"

It's better to be alone than to be together, and Li Tong didn't want to manipulate this party into his own recital.Only with the participation of the masses, everyone feels the fun in it, and then there will be continuous enthusiasm and investment. If you just blindly shout six at someone, it will soon become boring.

It is proposed to take a look at the poems and chapters invited by these trick halls first, just to see how the talents are participating.If it is not high, you need to think of other ways to promote it.

The owners of the kung fu hall only said that the young king was short-lived and wanted to add to the fun, but they did not refuse. They each submitted some poems, and the middle-aged owner who was the representative did not forget to praise the young king. : "Although all the chapters have their own talents, they still lack talent when it comes to being romantic. Especially the old chapter "Luoyang Daughter's Journey" by the king is elegant and gorgeous, which is fascinating. The people of Pingkangfang really regret it. You can’t get this set of words!”

Li Tong smiled after hearing the words. Although he had thrown out two poems by Liu Yong before, the tunes and lyrics were originally a small skill of inconsequential poems nowadays. The fun of Fuli, the evaluation is still not high.

The owners of these trick halls are quite ambitious, and they directly aimed at the standard poems of "Luoyang Daughter's Journey".

This talented work of Wang Wei is of great significance to open up a new atmosphere of poetry and prose nowadays. The ability of young Wang's poems to be appreciated and even admired by mainstream scholars has a great relationship with this.Even if Li Tong is full of brilliant works, if he wants to pick up a famous piece that is comparable to and sings Ping Kang's tricks, he must also choose carefully.

Leaving aside this point, Li Tong read the chapters presented by the masters of these trick halls carefully.

Everyone in Pingkang Fang also paid great attention to this elegant collection. There are at least hundreds or thousands of poems and chapters collected. After throwing away some plays that are too vulgar or too obscene, they will make a selection. Now the ones presented to the Young King's case are all excellent works that they feel are striving for perfection, and they are going to win the lottery in the next sensual performance.

Li Tong's browsing speed is not fast, and sometimes he has to stop and chant slowly.He knows his own family affairs, no matter how high his talent and reputation are, if he really wants to surprise the world, he still has to borrow the help of the ancients, not because of his own talent.

But when it comes to appreciation and criticism of poetry, he definitely belongs to the level of a master. He has read many famous poems and has accumulated many opinions from predecessors.

Especially during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, although there were not many creations in the field of poetry, there were countless anthologies of various poems and essays and comments from famous scholars, with all kinds of tricky angles and harsh comments.

After all, everyone has a heart for right and wrong. The more intense the wording of the evaluation, the more stringent and tricky the standards, the higher the sales volume when it is published.

But even if the "Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty" compiled by the Qing people included nearly [-] Tang poems and involved more than [-] poets, it was still only a small part compared to the huge volume of Tang poems.

The Tang Dynasty was a kingdom of poetry. The large scale, long duration and high artistic achievements of the creation of poetry and prose can be said to be one of the few outstanding cultural events in human history.

Even by Li Tong's standards, if you look through it, you will occasionally find surprises and find some excellent works, but when you look at the signed author, it is relatively unfamiliar.This is also a very normal thing. If "Spring River Flower and Moonlight Night" hadn't been passed down, Zhang Ruoxu would have disappeared among the poets of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and it would have been a matter of minutes.

Seeing that the young king was concentrating on appreciating and criticizing, no one dared to disturb him, so more than half an hour passed quickly.

Li Tong finally finished looking through the poems on the desk. Among them, there were more than a dozen poems that caught his eye, and the rest returned to each house. He patted the selected poems and said with a smile: "These poems are new. Each chapter has its own wit and wit. Although it is only the interest of my family, it must also be able to move everyone. I will not abandon the vulgar tunes and ordinary people's performances. Put it here for the time being, and you will select the law to enter here. Work and set the melody, and in the future, the best performers will be selected to perform on the stage."

When the masters of the trick hall heard this, they all had different joys and sorrows because of their different minds and visions, but since the king has already said it, they naturally have no room to object.

Li Tong didn't try to force the best articles from their respective visits, and continued: "In addition to Qujiang's public music recently, I also intend to select talented performers from various museums to expand Yanyue Daqu in the future. Act, and set an example for the time."

He wants to flatter his grandma with his new big song, although the purpose has not been clearly stated, but after hearing the words, all the people present were overjoyed for a while.

The morals of the world always tend to be strong, and the young king comes from a very noble family. If he can have the opportunity to come and go under his family, it will definitely be a rare highlight in life for these prostitutes.

Among other things, there are two best examples present, one is Yang Li, a Shu merchant woman, and the other is Master Mo, who is also a Pingkang performer.Especially Master Mo, the reason why he can enjoy a transcendent status in Pingkangfang is mainly because he was selected as an attendant Fengchan with folk art in the past, and he is also the idol of many actors in Pingkangfang.

Hearing what the young king said, the owners of the various pavilions inevitably competed to show off their own characteristics in order to win the young king's attention.

At this moment, Li Shouli and Dugu Qiong walked into the tent again from the outside, with joy and tiredness in their brows and eyes, the previous depression was gone.

Looking up, he saw that the masters of the various opera halls were competing to show off their skills in front of the third younger brother's table. Li Shouli couldn't help being curious, so he grabbed Yang Sixuan and asked, "But what good show did you miss?"

"The pros and cons of each family's sex skills are subject to group discussion. Later, the rules and regulations will be announced everywhere. As for now, please allow me to be quiet and prepare a new speech."

When everyone heard this, they all fell silent, not daring to disturb His Majesty Cai Si.

Li Shouli found out the reason from Yang Sixuan, entered the table with a smile, leaned closer to Li Tong and said, "San Lang wants to pick up folk tricks to enter the house to have fun? This is really good, let me tell you, wild game has its own wonderland, which is different from family life..."

Li Tong squinted at him angrily, then looked at Dugu Qiong, who had also returned happily, and had some ideas in his heart. He waved Li Shouli away and wrote slowly: "Reminiscing about the past friends, and spending more time with the banquet... "

The target of his attack is Bai Juyi again. As the title of this poem is very long, it is simply drafted as "Pingkangyou", which is suitable for the time and the situation.It is a long five-character novel with fifty rhymes. The first half is full of rich drama and music, and the second half is full of words of sorrow and remembrance.

Li Tong only took the first half of the thirty rhymes describing Pingkang's opera music, and added some modifications and adjustments of his own. After half an hour, a chapter was completed.

Go back to the deep courtyard together, and enter the bridal chamber separately.Suo Jing collects the flowers and invites people to untie the crotch.

Bai Juyi's poem is full of taste, but because the name is too complicated, the interest is not too high. Although it is not as good as "Song of Everlasting Regret", the level is not questionable. , wrote all the beautiful scenery of the young playmate Pingkang's game.

Dugu Qiong, who was the closest to the young king's seat, looked at Li Shouli suspiciously after reading the whole story: "Your Majesty, are you going to tell King Hedong all about our travels?"

While speaking, he patted his knees again with an annoyed expression and said: "Describe to the bone, the details are subtle, if you are not a senior guest at a banquet, how can you have such a profound writing skill? In the past, it was not until the king didn't like the song and the game that he didn't invite it. I knew the king was affectionate. Do it alone, drag the bridle along with you, which one of the halls of the famous Fangqu hall can't go straight in!"

While talking, he glanced at Li Shouli with some disgust, and felt that the elders had poor eyesight. The difference between the two brothers born in the same courtyard was too great.Li Shouli is a guy who can only cheat him for money, but if it is the King of Hedong, with this talent alone, he can't solve the problem, so there is no need to waste gold and pearls!

Hearing Duguqiong's emotion, Li Tong's heart moved, and he picked up a pen and added a subtitle under the title of the poem "Pingkangyou": Brother Wen and other friends talked about the love of Pingkang, and mentioned the rhyme play as a gift to brother and Dugu Lang.

Adding this paragraph of explanation is not to show that he is not stained with mud, just as Dugu Qiong said, Bai Juyi's poem is too coquettish, it's not that a veteran of Huanchang can't write it, but he can't even write it in Pingkangfang. Haven't been there yet, so there's always something to say.

Another reason was that seeing Li Shouli's little motor was about to start, it might cause unpleasant troubles between the in-laws in the future, so take precautions first.In the future, even if Dugu's family comes to ask them to be held accountable, they can still throw out their old works and beat them up: My brothers are so miserable because they were all brought down by your scum!

Leaving aside Li Tong's careful thinking, the masters of the theater halls stood in the curtains for a long time, and they were already delighted to see that the young king wrote long poems instead of perfunctory melodies in minor tunes.

After this long article was written, it was allowed to pass it on to others, and it was even more elated and joyful for a while.

What they value is not the talent and interest in the poems, and they may not be able to taste the difference between the pros and cons of the old title of the young king, but the descriptions in the lines are all ordinary daily experiences, but after being written by the young king , but it looks very beautiful.

After reading the whole long poem, it is indeed a profound poem title, which vividly describes the customs of Pingkangfang.Even if there is no symphony and singing, the description of the poem alone is fascinating enough!

After everyone circulated it, without waiting for the young king to give instructions, they had already started to fight over who should sing, and each of them was blushing and neck thick, and they refused to give in.

Chapter 0261

On the first day of Qujiang Yaji, the main entertainment items were to enjoy the scenery everywhere, and there were no large-scale gatherings and feasts.

Not only because of some official arrangements, but also because those teasers in Pingkangfang are well versed in people's tastes, and they know that many Shiliu came to Xijing for the first time. The surrounding scenery is thin.Only when Mizuki gets tired of seeing it, can he concentrate on teasing Fengyue.

Li Tong was still calculating Wu Youyi silently in his heart, but he didn't expect that Wu Youyi would suffer disaster on the first day of the rally before he made an attack.

All the workshops around Qujiang have their own gardens.Among them, there is an apricot orchard in Tongshanfang, and the apricot grove in Tongfang is shady. It was originally an industry under the supervision of Sinong Temple, but after all the departments in Xijing were abolished, Wu Youyi bluntly closed it as a private business.

Recently, when the apricot tree was bearing fruit, Wu Youyi was worried that the harvest would be affected by the illegal picking by tourists, so he simply sent troops to surround the entire Tongshanfang.However, there are at least tens of thousands of people gathered around Qujiang Pond. Many people miss the beauty of the apricot garden, and it is inevitable to regret seeing the heavily guarded square area.

If it is just an ordinary season, since it is forbidden to enter, no one dares to break the ban easily.But on this day, almost all the chivalrous young people in Chang'an gathered around Quchi, and they were unwilling to reconcile. Under the clamor of the crowd, they clashed with the guards guarding Tongshanfang, and a large number of people rushed in. Almost all the fruits in the garden were picked.

Li Tong learned about this at a banquet in the cherry orchard at night, and he couldn't help being happy after hearing it.When it comes to making money, Wu Youyi is really a wonderful flower. He doesn't let go of big fortunes, and he doesn't let go of small fortunes.

"The servants have already infiltrated into the city of Xijing one after another, scattered in various workshops near the Chunming Gate, and the animal animals have also been sent into the city one after another, temporarily stored in some shops in the East City, waiting for time to move."

The front hall in the cherry orchard was lively, but Li Tong met Yang Xianzong who had sneaked into the city secretly in the remote house in the backyard. Hearing Yang Xianzong's report, he nodded, and then asked: "What do you see guards near Chunming Gate?" Is there too much force? Before making an attack, set up a retreat, and if there are too many soldiers, don’t try to lure some of them away.”

After Yang Xianzong heard the words, he nodded and said: "It would be great if we could lure another group of soldiers away. This time, I dare not use bows and arrows. If I really face the defenders bravely, it is still a little bit reluctant."

"I've made a note of this."

Li Tong nodded and said, Guanzhong still has a foundation of military soldiers, and the control of folk weapons such as swords is not strict, but heavy weapons such as bows and crossbows have different meanings, even those hunters in the countryside have to go to the village County reports, and at the same time, there are continuous inspections of the township by the county government servants every year.

There are bandits in Chang'an city, which is not a serious matter.Even when Taizhou fell into the ground in the old year, there were rioters who directly rushed into the city of Shendu. Although there were also expulsions and arrests, there was no large-scale questioning.

The Empress Wu Zetian in Shendu City was already very vigilant about the power of the people in Guanzhong. If she learned that there was such a group of bandits with both organizational strength and heavy bows and crossbows haunting Xijing City, she would definitely not let it go. trigger a new round of earthquakes.

Yang Xianzong didn't stay in the cherry orchard for too long. After explaining some details and making a secret agreement, he put on a felt hat and covered his face, and quickly left the orchard.Right now, there is an abnormal commotion inside and outside Quchifang. Although his whereabouts are a bit sneaky, they are not conspicuous.

After sending Yang Xianzong away, Wu Youyi came before Li Tong could attend the table. After entering the garden, he had an angry expression on his face, and said angrily, "Those troublemakers are so greedy and bold, teasing is not enough for fun. Embezzling other people's property, do you really think that the imperial court's laws and regulations are idle?"

If he hadn't known the past, Li Tong might have thought that Wu Youyi was scolding him. After hearing the words, he just comforted him and said: "Living people have their own ways, with different advantages and disadvantages. The most important thing is the immediate event. Wait until here." After you finish your work, it’s not too late to stay behind and pursue these details. Town and herd this town, are you afraid of losing a few unscrupulous people?”

Regarding the important matter of catering to the queen, Wu Youyi didn't mess up her position because of the robbing of the apricot garden, but she still couldn't help cursing and venting: "These unscrupulous people are greedy for material power and evil, but they still want to pretend to be beautiful. Congratulations to the king, it is really unreconciled! After Qujiang is gathered and dispersed, we must strictly investigate the workshop, and anyone who has almonds in a household must be a villain!"

Hearing Wu Youyi's vicious words, Li Tong also sneered in his heart, that's only if you have time and opportunity.

"The officials of the government have already drafted a chapter list, and the King of Hedong has undoubtedly read it, just sign it."

While talking, Wu Youyi took out another letter from his side and handed it to the young king.

Li Tong flipped through the table, and saw that what was written was all the things discussed earlier, of course, Wu Youyi was the most important thing to write, and the role of the young king was only mentioned in passing.

He didn't have any objection to this, so he wrote his name with a pen.Wu Youyi's tricks are so small that it's hard for people to pretend not to guess.

However, Li Tong knew that it didn't matter what his attitude was about wishing the empress a long life so as to divide the efforts of the courtiers to fight for an heir.Regardless of whether he is popular or not, he is indeed a marginal figure in politics at the moment. No matter how eager he is to express his views, it will not be so obvious to his grandma.

His role is mainly reflected in alienating Wu Youyi, causing cracks to appear within the Wu family. The more eager and obvious Wu Youyi's attitude is, the more it shows that he has contributed a lot.

At present, Wu Youyi has not realized that after this seal is sent to Shendu, it is very likely that the empress will use it as an important tool to guide the atmosphere of the court, but she is relieved that the young king is magnanimous and does not care about these details.

Wu Youyi had already obtained the signatures of the officials left behind in Xijing, and if the young king signed them now, it could be said that the voices of Xijing were unified.

Although seeing the young king getting more and more pleasing to the eye, he was still vigilant in his heart. He felt that the young king had made such great efforts before and after, that it was impossible for him to be willing to just accompany the last table, and maybe he was still plotting some tricks secretly.

So even though he said in front of the young king that he would only send people to the table after the Qujiang Yaji was over.But in fact, after receiving the young king's signature, he turned around and sent a messenger out of the city overnight, and Chiyi sent the seal to the capital of God.

Even if the young king is not authentic, and secretly presents a statement, it will definitely not be as fast as his messenger galloping through the post.He has won this first job!

Li Tong is not very clear about Wu Youyi's little tricks, but even if he knows, he will only feel that Wu Youyi is more caring and cute.This is really how eager to win favor in front of him, and how embarrassing he will be slapped in the face afterwards.

He had originally planned to do this, but he didn't say much because he was worried that Wu Youyi would become wary and would not listen, but he didn't expect that this guy had already taken the initiative to do so.

After the Qujiang Yaji was busy day after day, and the mountains and rivers were tired of traveling, the focus of people at that time naturally shifted to the personnel and customs.The sound art halls in Pingkangfang are also sensitive to people's wishes, and have already begun to arrange actors to perform on the street, gradually enhancing the atmosphere.

What makes Li Tong dumbfounded is that the Pingkang actors who performed on the stage on the first day almost all sang the new work "Pingkangyou" by Shaowang, as if they regarded this new poem as a song of Pingkangfang to promote.

The voices and tunes are all the same, so the only thing that can be compared is the beauty of the voices and colors of the performers, and there are different opinions, not just one.Not to mention the pros and cons of the performers, as soon as the young king's poem came out, almost all the reverberations around Qujiang disappeared. If there is any singing, it must be "Pingkangyou".

If it is said that Shaowang's previous work "Xiaoyao Wang" is still sought after by romantic people because of its romantic mood, then this new work is full of scenes and detailed details, which makes those romantic people love it even more.

Mo's status in Pingkangfang is relatively detached, he does not belong to any museum hall, he is free and unrestrained, and he does not perform on stage recently, but just hang out with old friends.When she heard the singing in the street in the car, she looked at the people in the car with a smile on her face and asked: "Your Majesty's new works are popular here, what do Yang Lang think of the talent in the rhyme?"

Traveling with Mr. Mo is Yang Jiong, who is famous all over the world. He is in his early forties, wearing a plain round collar robe, with a clear face and bright eyes. He sighed when he heard Mr. Mo's smile Said: "I used to be in a remote place. I have heard the name of the king, so I entered the inner hall and heard more. It is indeed a romantic suzerain. No wonder it can attract people's attention."

After everyone Mo heard the words, a strange look flashed across their faces, and they sighed: "It seems that Yang Lang can't make such remarks. The bel canto sings all the way, and I am tired of listening to it all the way. Can I bear it?"

"If Xi Niang is just curious, then I will just ask. If it is to spread the word for others, please don't hurt this old relationship."

Yang Jiong sneered after hearing the words: "I know that there are gossips in the market these days, saying that I entered Xijing to win the reputation of the king of Hedong. Some idlers, who hate people's life and make troubles, want to take away my quietness."

"I'm also just curious. Yang Lang entered Xijing, but he couldn't pay homage to the famous king, and he didn't have banquet guests. He lived alone, which made people daydream."

"Knowing that I was brave when I was young, dare to bully the young and poor?"

Yang Jiong sighed and laughed: "What's more, this great king is rich and interesting. How many people in the world dare to speak lightly of victory? The king's strength and strength cannot be taken away. Although I have the reputation of spirit, I will not be a pawn for others. "

"Could it be that someone really wants to make an excuse? Are they some new kings?"

Although everyone Mo has an indifferent personality, it is inevitable that a woman will feel like a woman exploring the secluded world. At this time, they are chatting with old friends, so naturally they are a little casual.
