Crown Tang emperor

After hearing a cheerful melody, Li Tong's eyes lit up, he raised his hand to stop the sound of the pipa, and then asked.

Musician Pan Sanniang paused while pressing the strings, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, this is the melody "Drunken Son"."

What a coincidence!

Li Tong was even more amused when he heard the name of this tune. It seemed that he really had the talent for this kind of career, so he said, "Do you have an old song? Play and sing it again."

Pan Sanniang did as she said, the rotating shaft bounced from her head, and when she changed the tune, she began to sing: "Que'erkou, crispy hands, turn over Qiluojienu pomegranate..."

Yep, it's another erotic speech, it's the prostitute who accompanied the drink complaining that the guest has no mood after drinking.

When Li Tong heard the libretto, regardless of Li Shouli, who was very interested in patting and humming along with Pan Sanniang, he glanced at the eunuch Yang Xu who was standing aside.

Although the inner teaching workshop has been soaked in slang, but playing and singing tunes such as "Treading Mother" and "Drunk Prince" all day long, don't these eunuchs in charge get angry when they listen to it?

Of course, when making these malicious guesses, he forgot that Pan Sanniang also played seven or eight pieces of music, long and short, but this one was stopped by him.It can be seen that his own appreciation of music also urgently needs to be corrected.

"This old term is too vulgar, let's try a new term here."

He already had a plan in mind, picked up a pen and wrote, and without hesitation, a new speech was written.

Not only Pan Sanniang, but even other people in the hall were curious and surprised when they heard the words. They thought that the new song by the king was just a leisurely talk, but they didn't expect to come to their desks and write a new speech.

Pan Sanniang was still a little timid and did not dare to go forward, so the eunuch Yang Xu stepped up, holding the paper in both hands, and couldn't help singing according to Pan Sanniang's singing: "Walk this way, walk that way, just looking for flowers and willows. Walk that way, you While walking, don’t you hate gold cups and gold cup wine?”

The new speech was not long, but only two couplets. Yang Xu had finished singing before he walked in front of Pan Sanniang, and seemed to be a little hesitant. He looked back at King Yong'an, and couldn't help but sing again in a low voice.It's just that his voice is dry and dry, far less melodious and melodious than Pan Sanniang's, and it doesn't arouse people's interest.

Pan Sanniang took the new speech, recited it silently a few times, and then picked up the pipa and tried to play and sing: "Walk this way, walk that way..."

Li Tong raised his hand to interrupt Li Shouli's chorus, and listened carefully with his eyes closed. He only felt that there was still a bit of a jumpy tune, and one word was shortened compared to the old diction, so Pan Sanniang's playing and singing were a little messy, but even so, listening It sounds much better than the old one.

He thinks it's good, or maybe it's just a psychological effect.But after Pan Sanniang played and sang several times, she gradually became harmonious, and at the end of the song, Mi Baizhu clapped her hands and cheered: "The King's New Ci, really, really... wonderful!"

Li Tong rolled his eyelids and glanced at him, he was indeed a salty fish who couldn't even call Liu bad.

The musician Kang Duobao on the other side also stepped forward, bowed and said: "The speech written by the king is elegant, but for this song, it is slightly resigned, the tune is redundant, and needs to be refined..."

Listen, this is called professional advice, don't just talk nonsense, if it's not good, why should I write it?Professional is professional, it's because the tune is redundant and jumpy, not because my new words are not well written.

"Then according to the head of Yikang, is there still room for improvement? And Pan Sanniang, if you have any experience, you may wish to speak up."

For people with real skills, Li Tong has always maintained a respect, and he is not ashamed to ask.

Kang Duobao also brought a pipa and plucked the old tune, which was no worse than Pan Sanniang.At least from the perspective of Li Tong's appreciation level, there is no difference between high and low.

The song "Drunk Makeup Ci" written by him is the work of Wang Yan, the former Shu and later master of the Five Dynasties.Generally speaking, those who lead the front with a back are basically not good guys, and Wang Yan is no exception. Listen to this song "Drunk Makeup Ci", and you will understand how he is.

This poem is neither solemn nor harmonious, neither persuading nor teaching, it only appeals to romance, because it is pure and has its own fun.People can understand that this is a frank and voluptuous person.

Let's put it this way, I came to the brothel just to sit back and criticize the world, but when I heard the singer singing this song, I wanted to drink two more glasses of flower wine.It's not that I'm salty, it's that works of art have their own appeal.

Putting this kind of personality on the host is undoubtedly a fool.But Li Tong wished to be regarded as a lustful man, a handsome, talented and fun king of wealth and leisure, he was perfect!

Having professionals involved to help makes things easier.That Kang Duobao plucked the strings for a long time, and Li Tong gradually realized the taste. Every time he plucked the strings, there were nuances. He removed the so-called redundant tunes to match the new words, and he was actually a talented arranger.

Realizing this, Li Tong was even more relieved. Before, he only felt that it was not good to be Wu Zetian's grandson, but now it seems that it is not.With their identities here, the copywriting can be turned into a gang to commit crimes. Those poor nerds, can they have this arrangement?

Lost sticky rhyme?If it doesn't exist, it must be a problem with the song, change it!

Li Tong himself actively joined in, and even brought over Li Shouli, who was sneaking eyes at Hu Ji Mi Daman, learn something serious, you will never bother others with everything in the future.Besides, if the empress knew that you skipped classes and didn't go to school, she came to the inner teaching workshop to molest orchids, and you would be beaten to death!

When several people in the hall were coordinating the song, a palace servant in the inner teaching workshop hurried in and whispered in the ear of the eunuch Yang Xu. While not being noticed, he quietly walked out of the hall.

Li Tong glanced at this scene from the corner of his eye, but he didn't take it seriously, he was busy with his career at the moment, and had no time to care about other things.Besides, it's useless for Yang Xu to stay, there are many disadvantages, but no advantages, nothing at all.

It has to be said that in everything, experts watch the doorway, and laymen watch the excitement.

The barbarian Kang Duobao plucked the strings and tuned, and the pipa player Pan Sanniang was not idle, so he took out a two-foot-square thin wooden board from somewhere. In his hand, Pan Sanniang placed a red bean on the wooden board when Kang Duobao plucked the string.

"This is the palace board, which is specially used for the recording of Xielu."

Mi Baizhu also approached, and seeing that King Yong'an was a little puzzled by Pan Sanniang's movements, she explained in a low voice: "Most musicians are not good at pen and ink, so they use common utensils to record music and cooperate with rhythm."

Li Tong nodded after hearing the words. He had never heard or seen this recording tool, but he could probably imagine the principle of its use.The study of Tang music by later generations is nothing more than the collection of old papers and the scrutiny of unearthed objects. Even a true master of ancient music can't boast that he can inform everyone. It is normal for him to have blind spots and loopholes.

Musician Kang Duobao also stopped his plucking and explained: "It's simpler to turn over the melody and coordinate the rhythm. The palace tune is fixed, and you only need to adjust it up and down in the palace. As for the renovation of Qing and Shang operas, you need to hang expensive instruments." Find the palace and follow the law, and do the research again."

The so-called Yue Xuan refers to bells and chimes and other great instruments of ritual and music, which are solemn artifacts handed down from ancient times.The so-called Twelve Rhythms of Ancient Music, Huang Zhong Da Lu, etc., determine their tunes through bells and chimes, and are also called Gong Lv or Gong Shang.The position of the palace refers to the starting tone of the music and the overall tone. Finding the palace and responding to the rhythm is to determine the palace tone of the whole piece of music, whether it is melodious or deep, or light or sad.

Yanyue has 28 tones in Sijun, Gongshang Jiaoyu is Sijun, and Yijun contains 28 tones, a total of [-] tones.

Li Tong is just a layman in music theory. Although musician Kang Duobao explained a lot, he couldn't understand so many terms for a while.In the end, I just had a vague understanding that the more tones there are, the more mellow a piece of music should be, and the style of the music is changeable.

As for Qingshang music, there are not so many tuning changes. After all, it is used on occasions of worshiping heaven and ancestors, or it should be solemn and solemn, otherwise what should they do if they listen to it?

Although Kang Duobao claimed that it was easy to turn over the miscellaneous tune, after some adjustments, he put down the pipa, picked up a flute, and started playing to test it out.Yanle mostly uses wind music to set the tone, because the timbre is relatively pure and recognizable.When Kang Duobao changed the instrument, even Li Tong could clearly feel the change in the tune of the music.

If so, an hour later, Kang Duobao finished the song translation, and Pan Sanniang also recorded the new song as Gongban Hongdou.In this way, Li Tong could see clearly, because compared with the original arrangement, those red beans were moved down by one line, and a dozen were subtracted, and they were closer to each other.

"Your Majesty's new speech is elegant, better than the old frivolous speech, so Xiaoshi is downgraded to the next level..."

Hearing Kang Duobao's words, Li Tong felt even more satisfied. The flowers and willows have become elegant and not frivolous. What else is there to say, talent!

It's superfluous to say anything else, and he can't understand it, so it depends on the finished product.He got up, stretched and sat back on the seat, and then told Pan Sanniang: "Let's try it out."

Pan Sanniang picked up the pipa and played it again. When the new words came in, Li Tong closed his eyes and listened, his eyebrows raised frequently. It was obvious that the first tune had undergone a qualitative change, the rhythm was more compact, and the words were harmonious. The harmony is also smoother, as expected, as what Kang Duobao said, it is less frivolous and charming, and becomes more refreshing and elegant.

Talent!

At the end of the song, Li Tong felt emotional again. Before he opened his eyes and had time to praise the other party, applause suddenly sounded outside the hall, accompanied by a slightly hoarse but hearty female voice: "Look left and right, Jinbei Hualiu, It's really fun to turn the wind around!"

Chapter 0050 Princess Taiping

Li Tong really hates this way of appearing on the stage without seeing the person and hearing the voice first. The demo is quite big, what do you think of me?

But soon, Li Tong knew that compared to the other party, he, the Pojun King, was really nothing, and even Li Shouli, the Si Yong King, was no good.

Among the chaotic footsteps, the first person to enter the hall was the eunuch Yang Xu who had just left.The sagging pale face was slightly flushed, and after entering the hall, he rushed straight to the seats of Li Tong and Li Shouli, cupped his hands and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness is here, please Your Majesty..."

Princess?Return Your Highness?

Hearing the other party's address, Li Tong's heart skipped a beat. He pulled Li Shouli who was still a little dazed, and they stood up from the seats together and walked into the front of the hall.They are also a pair of kings, and they are not qualified to be called His Highness, but there is only one person who can be called His Highness Princess, Princess Taiping!

As the two of them stood up, Musician Kang Duobao and the others hurriedly moved aside, while many people poured into the entrance of the hall.These people were obviously divided into two groups, surrounded by more than a dozen people in the periphery, and their clothes were more monotonous and simple, and they should belong to the inner Jiaofang.

There are more than twenty people in the middle, both men and women, and the clothes are much more gorgeous and colorful, and each of them holds utensils in their hands, or round fans, or screen stands, or incense burners, or hanging curtains.

Originally, the size of this hall was not small, nearly seventy to eighty square meters, even with some utensils erected, it was very spacious and bright.But when such a group of people rushed in together, it suddenly seemed a bit cramped, and even Li Tong and Li Shouli were forced to step back and stand on the inside.

Now that he had already guessed the identity of the person who arrived, and seeing the mighty posture in front of him, Li Tong's mentality collapsed.They are also members of Li Tang's clan, let's see what they look like!

Just now he was flattered that as the king of the Tang Dynasty, he could commit crimes in gangs, but seeing Princess Taiping's ceremonial guards before and after her trip, there is nothing else to say.

Not to mention that the Inner Literature Museum arranged for them two or three palace servants to accompany them, even the two of them stood in the ceremonial procession by themselves, and their attire might be lost to everyone.

Probably before entering the hall, the eunuch Yang Xu had already informed their brothers that they were in the hall, so there were no powerful servants coming up to drive and tease them, and there was one less chance to slap them in the face. , I really don't have the mood to do this kind of operation.

After these servants entered the hall, they separated and stood on both sides, naturally showing Princess Taiping who was surrounded by the crowd.

Li Tong looked up, and the first thing he saw was the aunt's body and clothing.Princess Taiping is not short, at least she is taller among women.The food has been good in the past six months. Li Tong's height has grown rapidly. It is estimated that it should be almost 1.7 meters, but it is still half a head shorter than Princess Taiping.

She is wearing a purple and red sable velvet cloak, which does not show the plump figure of a young woman. Her hair style is a relatively simple Japanese bun, with a palm-sized flat gold hairpin decorated as a flower ball. Large white pearls and other bright-colored pearls hang down on the forehead, appearing jeweled and gorgeous.

But at this moment, Li Tong's mentality collapsed, and he really had to bury his conscience and comment, vulgar, really vulgar!The majestic princess of the Tang Dynasty, wearing gold and silver, looks like a nouveau riche!But I'm so envious!

What I noticed later was Princess Taiping's appearance. "New Book of Tang" says: The main party, E Guangyi, has many conspiracies.In short, this bitch has a square head, a big face, and a bad stomach. Ouyang Xiu and his group are also really bad.

Looking at it now, the square head and big face are real, and the white forehead is there.However, when evaluating a person's appearance, it is still not possible to just talk about the part, but to look at the combination of facial features and face shape.Just like Li Tong himself, one of his facial features is already quite exquisite, but when combined, he is even more handsome.

Princess Taiping has a slightly wider forehead, so does Shangguan Wan'er, and even Wei Tuan'er, whom she met once before, but this does not affect their respective beauty.Probably the people of the Tang Dynasty prefer the dignified and gentle appearance that can be called small and exquisite in aesthetics, but they don't see much of it.

Li Tong has not had the chance to meet his grandmother Wu Zetian so far, but he wanted to get a glimpse of the appearance of this aunt who claims to be like her mother, but before he could take a closer look, he was soon caught by Princess Taiping's bright and radiant eyes. Unstoppable, Li Shouli bowed his head and said: "My nephew Shouyi and my second brother Shouli, I pay my respects to my aunt."

It's not that he's afraid of this woman, he doesn't dare to make eye contact, it's because grandma doesn't kiss her, and she doesn't speak forcefully.As long as my grandma gives me some color, I can stare at you all day long!

Princess Taiping was also looking at the two kings with great interest, her eyes roving over the two of them, and she smiled when Li Tong saw the ceremony: "You are righteous, is that observant? Sanlang, right? Seeing you, it's a good thing for me to see you." Thinking of my second brother. You guys, alas, take your seats, don’t be too formal, I’m just passing by in my spare time, and I know you two are here to make a new song, and take a walk to have fun.”

While talking, she looked deeply at Li Tong again.

In this short period of time, someone has already set up a soft couch in the hall, and moved down the previous seat for Li Tong and two people.When Princess Taiping boarded the couch, other people came forward to greet the two kings.

Hearing their respective introductions, Li Tong's mood became even more gloomy.It turns out that the eunuch Yang Xu is not the only one in charge of the Neijiaofang, there is Le Zheng from the Taile Department and two eunuchs who are in charge of the case. In this leadership team, the eunuch Yang Xu only ranks four or five.

None of them were there before, but now they all showed up behind Princess Taiping.The warmth and coldness of human feelings are really exposed.

But right now in front of his aunt, even if there was any resentment in his heart, he couldn't express it. He just pulled Li Shouli, who was obviously restrained, and sat in front of Princess Taiping's bed.

"What's the piece you played just now? Walking around, going that way? Just now, I was outside, and I heard it scattered. Can you play it again?"

Princess Taiping looked down at the two relatively unfamiliar nephews and said with a smile.

Before Li Tong could speak, Yang Xu, the eunuch below, had already clapped his hands and said, "Head of Kang Bu, Pan Sanniang, come in and play!"

This dog guy, who has no bird under his crotch, is very quick to answer!

Treating each other differently, being neglected by this, Li Tong was full of resentment, and he couldn't spread his hatred to everyone present, too much to remember. Seeing the eunuch Yang Xu's enthusiasm, he could be regarded as hating the eunuch. Just pack you up!

It can be seen that more mistakes are made, you know, when they came to Neijiaofang, only this Yang Xu showed up, and the other supervisors avoided as much as they could.

Two male and female musicians who participated in the song translation stepped forward, but Kang Duobao still asked for instructions and looked at Li Tong. After seeing him nodding, he stepped forward to salute and put out the instruments.

Listening to the melody, Li Tong looked at Princess Taiping, who was slapping along with the music, out of the corner of his eye, but he couldn't help being surprised.

He really did not expect to see Princess Taiping at this time and here, it is already November, in other words, Princess Taiping's husband Xue Shao has already been implicated and imprisoned, he is not far from death!

Doubts abounded in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to ask this aunt: Your husband is going to die, and you are still looking for flowers and willows here, why are you so big-hearted, aunt?

But as his thoughts turned, he quickly figured out the logic.

Li Tang's clan rebelled, and the aftermath lasted until next year and even beyond.During this process, Wu Zetian was iron-blooded, merciless, and involved many people, and she never treated Xue Shao differently because she was her son-in-law.

Against this background, the imperial palace can be said to be one of the few peaceful places in the current situation. Like Li Tong and his family, it is boring, but in fact life is not too turbulent.

Their family was escorted back from Bazhou and imprisoned in Da Nei for several years. To be honest, quite a few of the cruel officials in the outer court who bared their teeth and claws should not even know their existence.

After all, there is no cloud search in this era, and the transmission of information mainly depends on word of mouth.

Before and after the Wu Zhou Dynasty, it was also known for its frequent changes in the current situation. Although Li Xian was the prince, it was a matter of many years ago. The emperor has changed two, and the remaining one is also in danger. Who is still familiar with the stories of these old people?

Even if someone still remembered, when they inquired about the whereabouts of Li Tong's family and searched for criminal evidence, maybe their colleagues had hunted down several targets and settled several unjust cases.

These cruel officials are also competing with each other. Although there are many Li Tang clans, they have not yet reached the level of endless beheading. It is better to hurry up and hug a few conspicuous ones first.

In such a current situation, Wu Zetian still remembers to take her daughter into the palace to protect her. It can be seen that she really loves this daughter, but it is far from the level of loving the house.

In contrast to each other, Li Tong's family had already lived in Da Nei, but Wu Zetian casually mentioned them to make people in the current situation notice their existence again.Although this is also the result that Li Tong hoped for and contributed to, it is still chilling to think about the difference in treatment.

Wu Zetian didn't care at all, whether their family would be involved in the political turmoil in the outer court because of this!

Thinking of the former aunt Fang's tears of gratitude because their three sons were able to go to school, and comparing it to Princess Taiping who was sitting on the high seat and listening to music leisurely, Li Tong felt really awkward.

When people talk about Princess Taiping in later generations, there are always many people who sigh because of her lifelong love and hatred, but why does Li Tong feel so innocent?

Your princess Taiping is dead and your husband is pitiful, so you have the right to be willful, exercise power, and be crazy about love?The dead husband didn't stop you from playing noodles, you are just like your mother, you just want men's bodies, whore!

Li Tong felt that he was really qualified to complain about this aunt, and if he really wanted to confront her, it was nothing more than this kind of rhetoric: You just lost a life, but Taiping lost her love!

Alas, extreme.

Of course Li Tong also knew that the suffering of their family had nothing to do with Princess Taiping, and that his grandma was willing to show her daughter more sympathy, that was not for others to decide.He has no conflict with this aunt, and even if the interaction and relationship can be strengthened, the situation of their family will be improved.

Of course, this must only be a later story.Seeing the bright light in Princess Taiping's eyes, and the leisurely look of snapping her fingers, she still doesn't know that the black tide is engulfing her husband's house.

But even if there was news between the inner and outer world, it was only a few days behind. At first hearing the news, it was life and death. Although Li Tong didn't have much sympathy, but thinking about it, he felt quite embarrassing.

Chapter 0051 "The Happy King"

At the end of the song, Princess Taiping liked the new rendition very much, and ordered two musicians to play and sing it several times.

Seeing this, the eunuch Yang Xu hurriedly found the piece of paper that King Yong'an had just written his resignation on, and wanted to present it with a shy face, but was stopped by Princess Taiping's female history, who took the paper from her and handed it to the princess.

Li Tong looked at the officials of the Inner Jiaofang with cold eyes, carefully observing Princess Taiping's joy and anger with wide-eyed eyes, but paid little attention to their brothers.

His heart moved, and he had a whim, since his grandma has brought up their family again, it is impossible to stop here, whether it is a blessing or a disaster in the future.No matter what the future is, he is unwilling to return to the palace to live the life of tormenting the dead. He must consider the matter of leaving the cabinet and establishing a government. Is it possible to fight for an official position that is too happy?

Tai Le Ling belongs to Tai Chang, that is, Si Li Temple, but it is only a seventh-rank official position, but it can also manage the inner teaching workshop.Don't fight for the steamed buns, if he can make Tai Le Ling, he must give this group of guys who are stalking the power one more time!

This matter is not without room for maneuver.

Although I don't know what kind of disasters will come during the Tianshou years, so that the eldest brother Li Guangshun was whipped to death, and the big baby Li Shouli was also tortured into rheumatism, but for now, even if their brothers die again, they will still be the king of the Tang Dynasty. .

When the butcher's knife is raised, that's another set of logic.But before that, as long as the skin is on his body, he still looks like a dog.

The reason why Li Tong has confidence in leaving the cabinet is that he knows that during the years of the heavenly grant, their family was actually released once, and they came out of the cabinet together with Li Dan's son.It must be his grandma who wants to fish for law enforcement, let people out, and see if they can catch a few restless targets.
