Crown Tang emperor

Of course, the main purpose of this request for leave is to show Zhong Shaojing, aren’t you a calligrapher, look at my new book in Yan style, it’s much better than your old stereotypes.Although he only learned calligraphy in a rough way, but in the eyes of a real calligrapher, he still has a lot of new interest and rewards, so he still needs to have confidence in this.

However, if Li Tong knew about the turmoil caused by this poem about wandering immortals, he would never be cheap enough to write such a poem.

Chapter 0047

Shendu Garden is the original Sui Xiyuan, adjacent to the west side of the Taichu Palace in the imperial city. In the old Tang Dynasty, the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Wang Li Shimin challenged Luoyang Wang Shichong, so he stationed troops in Xiyuan and fought fiercely in Da Nei.

Li Tong and Li Shouli left the Inner Literature Museum, followed by several palace servants, strolled along the palace wall, and unexpectedly reached the Shendu Garden.

In fact, as early as in the Renzhiyuan, there was no express rule that they should be confined in the courtyard and not allowed to go out, but the aunt Fang was used to being cautious, and they were not allowed to come in and out at will in order to avoid being considered a population.Coupled with the fact that Ren Zhiyuan is close to Xuanwu City and the guards are strict, Li Tong really dare not wander around under the noses of the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

But when we arrived at the Inner Literature Museum, these taboos naturally disappeared.In order to go to the inner literature hall to study, they also carry the pass order on their bodies. Although the key areas that are really tightly guarded are not qualified to enter, but the general palace defense is no problem.

Of course, this is also a knowledge gained through constant testing. When he first came to this world, he was also full of sorrow with his head hanging on his waist.

Today's Shendu Garden is only a royal garden, not a heavily guarded military city, so there will be no obstacles for them to step into it.

Li Shouli, a poor child, grew up to such a big age, except on the way to and from Bazhou in the early years, he probably has never seen such a vast world. Once he entered the Shendu Garden, he ran wild like a wild horse, and he couldn't stop him. live.

As for Li Tong, he was preoccupied and not interested in the desolate winter scenery of Shendu Garden.

Strolling out from the Inner Literature Museum all the way, he also quietly looked at the layout of the forbidden route, but what he saw was nothing more than the same corridors and palace walls. Generally speaking, the places and buildings with a slightly superior shape and the effect of overlooking, All of them are guarded by soldiers of the Forbidden Army, and idlers are not allowed to approach.

In this way, it further highlights the value of Zhong Shaojing, a person who can enter and exit the forbidden palace and manage palace affairs for more than ten years.Although Li Tong also understands that even if he wins over Zhong Shaojing right now, it won't be of any practical use to him.

In addition to the cooperation of Zhong Shaojing's internal support, the most important reason for the success of Li Longji's palace change in later generations is the popularity and influence accumulated by his father Li Dan's forbearance and momentum for more than 20 years.Otherwise, just because Li Longji is a young man, Li Chong, the king of Langya who died in Bozhou before, is a good example for him.

During the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Li Dan, as the heir of the emperor, was crazily exported by the Wu family. Although his life was miserable, it became a sign that Tang Guozuo could continue to inherit.This kind of deep-rooted influence cannot be wiped away by Zhongzong and Empress Wei's smoky operations.

When people are in trouble, even a piece of psychological comfort is really precious.So for Zhong Shaojing, who hadn't shown up for a long time, Li Tong also felt more and more resentment, but there was nothing he could do.

The winter garden is desolate, nothing more than stone hills, pines and cypresses, palaces and pavilions.The mind was full of coquettish operations, and he couldn't implement them. Li Tong beckoned, and an eunuch stepped forward and handed him a stick.

People in the Literary Museum not only study, but also play some games in their spare time, or are called by the emperor to dance and hit the ball in front of the hall for entertainment.Taju is football, batting is polo.

Li Tong was very interested in polo, and when he learned that there were corresponding equipment stored in the warehouse of the Inner Literature Museum, he asked his acquaintance Zhou Dian to fetch him a club, but soon found that there was no horse, and there was no way to practice.

Horses are in the forbidden palace, but it is a very serious matter.Even if the imperial confinement of the Inner Literature Museum is slightly looser, it is impossible to bring a horse to Li Tong.

But after seeing the material and style of the club, Li Tong quickly thought of a workaround and asked someone to cut off a part of the club, leaving only half of the length, and it suddenly looked like a golf club.

Since there is no way to practice horse skills, I simply practice the upper body first, and wait until the foot combat is proficient, and then learn horse combat.From step to ride, up against the wind.

Holding the club in your hand and swinging the club is considered to be moving your body.When the eunuch inserted the ball holder made of bamboo chips into the slope and placed Mu Xin's polo, Li Tong twisted his waist and swung the club. With a whoosh, the polo flew high and landed more than ten meters away.

After hitting a ball into the air, Li Tong thought about it carefully, and felt that the polo was much heavier than the golf ball.After all, when hitting the ball immediately, the power increase brought by the horse must also be considered.

But he doesn't really want to engage in any sports, as far as exercising his arm strength and skills is enough.

Li Shouli, who was running in the distance, saw Li Tong standing on the slope and hitting the ball, he was so greedy, he ran back screaming, yelling that he wanted to try it himself.So the two brothers spent the whole afternoon playing footbattle in the corner of the desolate garden in Shendu Garden.

Returning to the Institute of Renzhi in the evening, as usual, Li Guangshun, a good boy, stood in front of his aunt and recited "Spring and Autumn", while Li Shouli winked at Li Tong and snickered.

After dinner, Li Tong routinely went to learn Jiegu from Mi Baizhu, the head of the volume, but was told that the voice of this part had been recalled to the inner teaching workshop. All recalled.

Hearing this news, Li Tong was taken aback for a moment, it turned out that four years of Chui Gong were about to pass before he knew it.

But soon, he thought that this might be an opportunity for him.

While learning the drum technique with Mi Baizhu, Li Tong was also consciously asking about the details of the palace feasts, and learned that although the Neijiaofang was banned, the internal management was not very strict. Among them, the entry and exit management of personnel is relatively loose.It is also very common for nobles to stay overnight in the confinement, and to summon musicians to serve music temporarily.

This means that Li Tong can also enter Neijiaofang to engage in his business of renovating old songs.The musicians and actors in the Neijiaofang belong to the humble family, even if someone makes a fuss about it, they will just give him the stigma of "molesting the untouchables", which cannot be called a filthy palace.

Moreover, the current situation seems chaotic, but in fact the boundaries between inside and outside are still very clear.Their family stayed in the palace, even if those cruel officials wanted to deal with them, they would not be able to get first-hand information.Even if there is, they dare not use it!

Inside the imperial palace, that is the restricted area for His Majesty's living. You cruel officials are reused so that you can eliminate the hidden dangers from the outside world. If you don't do your job well, you are teasing my skirt corners and spying on my private affairs. What do you want to do?

Early the next morning, after arriving at the Inner Literature Museum and putting down his schoolbag, Li Shouli said joyfully again: "Xunnu, let's go hit the ball again. This time I'll also prepare the club, let's compete!"

Li Tong ignored him, and called the anecdote Zhou Dian to ask about the direction of Neijiaofang.

Zhou Dian also had a headache for the great king's restlessness when he thought about it, fearing that something might go wrong.

Those female officials who were banned from the middle of the country knew very little about the situation of King Yong's family.No matter how much His Majesty the Divine Emperor does not want to see this family, it is impossible to call them together and carefully tell them that these are relatives of the scene and it doesn't matter, just give me a hard time with them.

What these low-level female officials can see is that the originally insignificant King Yong's family has once again received the mercy of the God Emperor, and the Ciwu Terrace to commemorate the former king will be built soon, and the three kings have also been lifted from the grounds and enrolled in school for career.

His Majesty the Divine Emperor's attitude has already been revealed. Are they too full to eat and have too much time to treat Yongwang's family harshly?

This lack of smooth communication from top to bottom is where Li Tong's confidence lies in daring to pretend to be powerful.

His grandma has been so envious of the throne that her eyes glow green. She is full of civil and military affairs, domestic and foreign scholars, and people's customs and things. She is already busy enough. How can she be so busy that she can't forget their three fatherless children and take strict precautions?Just think about it when you find it useful.

The military and state affairs have already left her at her wits' end, so she is not happy to play face-to-face and listen to a little song every now and then?You were also scolded by the people below saying that your third grandson is in the middle of nowhere, and using such trivial matters to annoy her, isn't it just a joke?

So when King Yong'an proposed to visit the Inner Jiaofang, although Zhou Dian, the anecdote, slandered this kid for not studying hard, he obediently arranged for the palace servants to accompany him.

Li Shoulikong has a heart for playing cockfighting and running dogs, but suffers from a lack of imagination. Since Li Tong didn't go to Shendu Garden, he also felt that it was boring, and he felt that going to Neijiaofang would be good, so he followed up with kindness.

Before he left, he did not forget to tell Li Guangshun: "Your Majesty was very sad last night, brother, remember to recite one more chapter today." I don't know where he came from to say this.

The Neijiaofang is located in the southwest corner of Da Nei, on the edge of the imperial palace, close to Yeting Palace.From here, go out a palace wall, and you will arrive at the Lijing Gate of the imperial city. There is an internal edict prison near the Lijing Gate. Die in prison.

Having said that, it seems that this area is gloomy.This is indeed the case. In the area in the southwest corner of Da Nei, the buildings are rigid and strict, and the palace walls and cornices shade the sky. The eerie feeling of walking in it is even worse than the mortuary room at the back of the five palaces where Li Tong first came to this world. A bit thicker.

"Xunnu, Xunnu, do you still remember? That piece of palace is our previous residence!"

On the way, Li Shouli suddenly grabbed Li Tong, and pointed to a shadowed palace at the end of the corridor, which looked dilapidated.His face turned slightly pale, showing that his memory was not happy, and he murmured: "I don't want to come back here again!"

Li Tong looked in the direction Li Shouli pointed, and the relevant picture appeared in his mind, and he felt a little cold all over his body.He raised his hand to wrap the robe around his body, and nodded in sympathy.Those dark days are the most destructive to people's spirits. Even Li Shouli, who is optimistic by nature, doesn't want to mention it again.

Li Tong didn't know if his family's situation had improved after the trial was over without the "Poetry of Ci Wu" in the time and space he had never visited, but considering Li Shouli's posthumous reputation as a barometer of the human body, there is a high probability that there will be no .

People want to walk towards the sun, even if the road is full of thorns, the sun is shining and the moon is shining, it is enough to comfort me with bruises all over my body!

After walking for a while, turning around a corner of the palace wall, the sight suddenly opened up, and the noisy sound of silk and bamboo came along with the wind.

Chapter 0048

The layout of the Inner Jiaofang is also like the Renzhiyuan. It is an independent courtyard, and the scale is much larger.

This is also normal. Since it is called a workshop, it naturally has a place worthy of the name.Although it is impossible to be as large as Liangdu Lifang because it is in the forbidden area, as a place for the daily life and work of the royal families, the necessary supporting facilities must be readily available.

Knowing the arrival of the two kings, the supervisor of Neijiaofang also rushed out to welcome him. He was a middle-aged eunuch in his 40s, with a white face and slack skin. And Tai Le Department of Code.

The official rank system in the Tang Dynasty was very large. Around the imperial palace, there were the Dianzhong Province, the Internal Servant Department, and the Sixth Bureau of Shanggong, etc. The official positions and institutions seemed to be very chaotic.But in fact, it is easy to distinguish. Dianzhong Province mainly serves the emperor himself, and also has some attributes of the outer court, and mainly scholars hold official positions.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Sixth Bureau of the Shang Palace are mainly active in the ban. Among them, the Ministry of Internal Affairs mainly consists of eunuchs as officials and manages affairs, and the Sixth Bureau of the Shang Palace is female officials, with two teams of men and women.A few years ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was renamed Sigongtai.

As for the official position of the eunuch Yang Xu, it is also very interesting. The official position in the Si Gongtai is already below the fifth rank, which already belongs to the middle-level cadres who serve Fei and can shade children in the outer dynasty.

At present, the Neijiaofang has not independently judged the matter, and it is still managed by the Taichang Temple, which is in charge of rituals and music. Therefore, the officials of the Neijiaofang generally have a part-time job in the Taichang Temple.Therefore, when this Yang Xu introduced himself, there was also the ceremony of the Taile Department under the Taichang Temple.Of course, Taichang Temple was also renamed Sili Temple when Empress Wu supervised the country in the first year of Guangzhai.

However, compared to the internal affairs of the fifth rank, the Dian Shi of the Tai Le Department is just a subordinate official of the fifth rank, a position that is not in the ranks.

This shows the arrogance of the outer court when facing the inner court, so what about the internal affairs, you are worthy of whatever scarlet robe you wear!It is completely different from the arrogance and domineering eunuchs after the mid-Tang Dynasty.

Li Tong is not very interested in this eunuch Yang Xu. Even if your name is Gao Yanfu and you have an adopted son named Gao Lishi, you will always look at you more.However, he also understands that although Jinzhong is the power center of the Tang Dynasty, there are not many treasure boys like Zhong Shaojing everywhere.

Under the guidance of this eunuch, Li Tong and Li Shouli walked into the inner teaching workshop.

The inner teaching square is called the square, and the layout of the inner center is roughly the same as that of the square in the city, with the square roads intersecting and the houses of the square households distributed like a chessboard.Li Tong came to this world, but he has not been able to leave the forbidden center so far, and naturally he has no way of appreciating the elegance of Luoyang Fangshi, so stepping into the Fangzhong at this moment can be regarded as a little quenching of thirst.

Under his questioning, the eunuch Yang Xu also casually explained the personnel layout in the workshop.

There are hundreds of Lehu households in Neijiaofang, which are further divided into registered Lehu and Fanshang Lehu. The Fanshang Lehu is under the jurisdiction of Sili Temple. After the period is over, they have to leave the forbidden center and live outside.The registered dancers and voice artists need to stay in prison for a long time until they die of old age or are exempted by grace.

In the northeast of the square is the management organization and the pavilion where the bells and chimes are hung, and in the northwest is the place where dancers and musicians rehearse and practice. At this moment, various silk, bamboo, drums and music are coming from here, mixed with the singing of actors and actresses. The rehearsals are in full swing.

The Southwest Square District is the living area of ​​Jile, and some ditties and miscellaneous tunes are rehearsed, including Fish, Dragon and Hundred Operas.Dongnanfang District is the area where Fanshang Lehu is located, and there are also officials sent by the Taiyue Administration, such as Xie Lulang, who are here to listen to the music.

Li Tong came here in the name of selecting some musicians to renovate some old songs.When the eunuch Yang Xu asked if there was anyone he was familiar with and liked, it made him feel ashamed that the new guests were not as good as Fengyuexiang, and he didn't want to show his timidity, so he casually said the name of Mi Baizhu.Apart from this one, he really didn't know anyone else in Neijiaofang.

The eunuch Yang Xu apologized first, saying that the workshop is currently rehearsing all the great music used in the grand ceremony, and many people were used, so it may not be possible to find them successfully, and then invited the two kings to sit in the Northeast Pavilion for a while, and then ordered the servants to hurry To visit Mi Baizhu.

After about a quarter of an hour, the bearded Mi Baizhu hurried in, and after seeing the two kings, she hurriedly went up to worship and apologized: "There is an urgent call in the square, so I leave without saying goodbye, and I hope the king will not sin."

"It's just a small matter. Now that I'm back in the workshop, is there any practice to rehearse some new songs?"

Li Tong asked calmly with the attitude of a seasoned veteran.

"When you enter the workshop, you will return to the house, and it has never been useful."

Hearing Mi Baizhu's answer, Li Tong's face froze. I only know you, old boy, and you sent me by name, but you didn't give me a good face. Everyone else was rehearsing, so you got out and sat on the bench!

Seeing this, the eunuch Yang Xu, who was standing by the side, stepped forward and said with a smile: "If the king renovates the song, there is still a foreign law assistant in Fangnan who can distinguish all kinds of sounds, and he can use it as he likes."

Hearing this, Li Tong's face turned darker, showing your sharp eyes, right?It's already quite embarrassing, but you still want to laugh at me for not having a good old friend?I don't need it!

"The sound turns the song, the entertainment is all there is, there is no need to disturb a lot."

He waved his hand lightly, Li Shouli next to him also nodded and said: "Mi Butou's drumming skills are quite good, and the rest don't know what's good or bad, so don't call them."

If you can't speak, open your mouth less, that guy's old face turns red without seeing Mi Baizhu!

Mi Baizhu was very grateful to the king for his flattery, and even chased him to the Inner Jiaofang after seeing him for a day, but in front of the supervisors of the Jiaofang, he still couldn't brag about his superb skills, so he stepped forward and said, "Humble job!" Thank you Majesty for your appreciation, but it is difficult to compose the whole song with a single instrument, please recommend a few more voices for your majesty as alternatives."

Li Tong raised his hand to hold Li Shouli who was about to speak, and nodded to Mi Baizhu in agreement.

Mi Baizhu tilted his head and pointed out a few names to Yang Xu. The eunuch immediately showed a bit of embarrassment, but seeing the two kings sitting in the hall, he still nodded reluctantly, and sent someone to summon the names Mi Baizhu had pointed out. personal.

It took a little longer this time, and almost half an hour passed before the summoners arrived one after another.Of course, Li Tong and the others didn't just wait around. Eunuch Yang Xu ordered someone to fetch some music scores of vulgar songs for the two kings to pick up.

But seeing the book-like score that day, Li Tong couldn't help feeling that the eunuch seemed to be embarrassing him. If I can understand it, what's the use of the country supporting you?

However, in addition to these scores, Li Tong still found some useful things, such as some case study materials in Neijiaofang, the description of the music theory of musical instruments, the analysis of the tune of palace merchants, etc., because the general level of education of musicians is not High, so these music theories are also easy to understand when written.

Li Tong raised his hand and picked up a volume of jiegu drumming, and read it casually, and found some tricks, some skills that Mi Baizhu didn't even mention when he taught him how to play drums, so he secretly poked suspicion in his heart, this old man The kid Luzhuo hides his skill, I'm afraid it's not because of his outstanding talent, he can learn it as soon as he learns it, so he wants to spend a few more days to eat?

Mi Baizhu didn't know that this sunny and handsome king had such a dark heart, so he just bowed his head and sighed: "It's a pity that I can't be taught, and I don't know a word, otherwise I will read the music books and learn more wonderful music skills. Can do good things to the king."

"You can't read?"

Li Tong was surprised when he heard the words, and he heard that this person's conversation was not vulgar when they met, so he couldn't help but give him a high look, but he didn't expect to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail.

Mi Baizhu smiled wryly and explained briefly, he was only a member of the lowly family of musicians in Sili Temple, and his musical skills were only passed on from his parents through word of mouth.As for the palace, although there are Ye Ting, Nei Wen Wen Guan, etc. to teach the culture of the palace people, but they do not include them, who are from lowly backgrounds, so they can only engage in these superficial skills, and their future is bleak.

Hearing Mi Baizhu's explanation, Li Tong felt a little pity in his heart. Compared with these lowly musicians whose ancestors had no future at all, he was considered lucky.Meeting is fate, Lao Mi, you can eat with me from now on, if someone teases me, you have to go, understand?

When he learned that there were four or five boys and girls in Mi Baizhu's family, Li Tong was even more delighted, and prepared to take over the whole litter, and told Mi Baizhu to introduce a few children if he had the opportunity, which is really embarrassing As a builder, he is also willing to introduce Neiwen Museum to study.Of course, it's okay for the daughter to say that if the son wants to study in the inner literature library, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep the little bird.

Li Tong didn't shy away from showing kindness at this level.Otherwise, he wouldn't even have to go out of the room, just lay on the bed and pretended to be dead.

Seeing that a lowly musician from Mi Baizhu was able to win the favor of the two kings, there was a question and answer between them, Yang Xu, the servant standing next to him, also showed a bit of envy on his face.As a rule, he should be an official of the queen's palace, but since he took office, he has not seen the queen even once.

It's useless to be envious, an old eunuch with loose skin and flesh is of no value in nurturing, if he really wants to bring up some sons and daughters, Li Tong has to stay at a respectful distance, and he can't be provoked.

During the conversation, several musicians and actors had already arrived. Li Tong remembered that Mi Baizhu had ordered five names, but only three came.A bearded man named Kang Duobao, a woman in her early thirties named Pan Sanniang, and another orchid named Mi Daman, who turned out to be Mi Baizhu's eldest daughter.

Li Tong looked at Mi Baizhu's rough appearance, and then at his daughter's shy, timid, charming appearance, and his mood couldn't help being a little messy, Lao Mi, why don't you go home and ask your wife if there is something wrong?

Probably yes, as a parent, if you have a little love for your children, can you name them?It's nothing big, full size, full size, whatever you want, it's pretty good.But Mi Damang sounds so sweet, so reckless that you are afraid!

But when he thought of the nicknames of the three brothers, Li Tong fell silent again.

The three of them stepped forward to present themselves, Hu Ren Kang Duobao is good at Jiegu and Hu Jia, and is a part of the "Yan Yue" department.

Hearing this introduction, Li Tong glanced at Mi Baizhu, who had drooping eyebrows and eyes, and knew that he had seen a master. "Yan Le" was the first part of Shi Bu Yue. Who could be the head of it? Mi Baizhu is comparable to miscellaneous parts.

The woman Pan Sanniang is good at pipa and vertical harp, and was once a member of Zabujue. She was able to perform in the hall, but she was rejected because of her age and fading, but her musical skills are more proficient.

As for Huji Mi Daman, he is a kabuki and is best at Hu Xuan dance.Looking at the long nose, blue eyes, exquisite and small facial features, and exquisite waist, one can also imagine what kind of enchanting picture it should be when it dances lightly.This orchid is better than her father, and she is the leader of a Kabuki, that is, the lead dancer.

Li Tong wants to renew the song, but the dancer is useless, just turn a blind eye to the orchid's flowing eyes, and of course it's not good to flirt with her father's face, even if her father wants to, this name is too outrageous play.

The pipa is a big instrument of Yan Yue, so Li Tong first asked Pan Sanniang, a virtuoso, to try out a few pieces, listen to the melody, look for inspiration, and see if there are any poems to copy.The coquettish love between literati and poets cannot be called stealing. The key is to spread beautiful poems all over the world, and love is boundless.

Chapter 0049

The big strings are like a rain, and the small strings are cut like a whisper.

Pan Sanniang's pipa skills are really superb, at least much better than Mi Baizhu's pipa player with a good voice.Li Tong couldn't stop being engrossed when he heard it, and when the sound changed, he remembered the business again.

Generally speaking, it is always unavoidable to be jerky when doing something for the first time.Holding the repertoire in his hand, Li Tong saw that there were quite a few familiar titles on it, and tried to change some poems and chapters that he could remember in his heart, but he couldn't help hesitating.

The rhyme of Tang and Song Dynasties has not changed much, even if it has, it can be rescued.What he is hesitant about is not these, but to substitute his own background and people's judgments on him to make a choice. He can copy so much, so there is no need to show so many flaws.

To treat this matter as a business that can be operated for a long time, it is best to give people a sense of hierarchy, step by step, excellence, and continuous breakthroughs.His grandma had such a long life, and he had a lot of time to do nothing, so he couldn't hollow himself out with three tricks and one hammer.

Therefore, although the long song "Pipa Xing" was first thought of, he was the first to rule it out.The debauchery of the Six Dynasties has not yet dissipated, and the people of the Tang Dynasty still don't seem to have seen the world much, so it's easy to be fooled.

"Wait a minute, what song is this?"
