Crown Tang emperor

Among them, Xue Huaiyi had the greatest influence, but because he was born in the wild, he was too humble, no matter how much he was favored, he would not be accepted and attached by scholars.The contrast with the Zhang brothers is the most obvious. Zhang controlled the Crane Supervisor, recruited a large number of literati, and compiled classics such as "Three Teachings and Pearls".As for Xue Huaiyi, the master of the White Horse Temple, he raised scoundrels and had little contact with scholars.

Li Tong emphasized Shen Quanqi's role in the compilation of Daqu. In fact, he also wanted to strengthen this matter, including his own weight in Xue Huaiyi's heart. He could act as a bridge between Xue Huaiyi and the scholar group.

At worst, if you become a nodding acquaintance, these people will be able to slander him less.It doesn't matter whether Xue Huaiyi has clear political ambitions. Since he is in it and plays a role, this logic will have an effect on him.

For Xue Huaiyi's praise, Shen Quanqi was quite receptive, but his attitude was not too enthusiastic. After seeing the ceremony, he said that he would be busy with his own affairs and could not stay with him for a long time.

"Go together, go together! Since the establishment of the event, I have no time to come and watch, and I am also curious about how beautiful the music made by the king and others is."

While speaking, Xue Huaiyi also strode forward, and praised Li Tong: "Bachelor Shen is extraordinary in literature and art, His Majesty the God Emperor often praises it, and the king can invite the bachelor to work together, which is really exciting!"

Li Tong just smiled when he heard the words. He loves beauty and hates ugliness, human nature, good conduct is always looked at highly by others, and sometimes it is precisely because he knows that he can't do it with cold eyes.For example, he himself was originally in a peaceful state of mind, but he knew that the crisis was approaching but could only do nothing in the confinement. The collapse of his state of mind is really indescribable.

A group of people soon arrived at the rehearsal venue of the Inner Jiaofang, a boxy pavilion.Such a place is not suitable for any cultural performances. The ancients' acoustic knowledge is sufficient, and the inner teaching workshop is probably not worth serious management, so everything is simple.

Before Xue Huaiyi's arrival, the rehearsal was already going on in the workshop, and there was no need to rearrange it at this time.Following the order of the music officer, the dancers and musicians began to perform formally.

Xue Huaiyi has not yet identified the tune. Seeing the instrumental music team with as many as seven or 80 members, especially more than a dozen bald-headed monks among them, he probably felt very cordial, his eyebrows brightened, and he was full of praise: "Wang is so interesting Talent and skill, to be able to control so many vocal instruments, few people in the world can match."

"Bachelor Shen is still amazing, and Shouyi dare not boast."

Li Tong raised Shen Quanqi again. He only realized after working together that Shen Quanqi had a part-time job as a sixth-rank direct bachelor in addition to his previous official title.

It was also normal to hold multiple positions in the Tang Dynasty. Shen Quanqi held several positions that were noble, which shows that his literary and artistic abilities were also deeply appreciated by Wu Zetian.This "Vientiane" Daqu can attract Shen Quanqi to join, which is really lucky for Li Tong.

This may also imply a rebound from the trough. It has been unlucky for too long, and finally there is some ups and downs.

The music sounded, and all the spectators were silent.Seeing that Siyong King Li Shouli was also sitting in the pipa department, Xue Huaiyi was slightly taken aback, and then nodded to Li Tong, probably to praise their brothers for their versatility.

The "Vientiane" song book was mainly compiled by Shen Quanqi and the music officials of the Taiyue Department, and Li Tong really dare not take credit for this.

In the whole Daqu, there are as many as twelve times the prologue part of the prelude. Li Tong was worried that it would be too long to set off the atmosphere, but Shen Quanqi explained that the twelve times of the prologue still need to be selected by the Shangguan. When actually performing, it is necessary to select according to the occasion and effect, and there are not many preparations for twelve times.

If the time is not too tight, according to the framework of the whole Daqu, twenty times is a more reasonable length.

With four rapid and loud whistling sounds, the movement gradually unfolded.Not to mention anything else, just this preemptive opening method lifted Xue Huaiyi's spirits, and he opened his mouth to say something, but the dense music followed, and instantly blocked the words that came to his mouth. Shut up and listen carefully.

The prologue is performed twelve times, even if each time is only three to five minutes, it will take less than half an hour to play the whole piece.Therefore, this rehearsal only played a few of the best fragments.

As the music paused for a while, Xue Huaiyi took off the felt hat on his head, his shiny scalp was flushed, and he patted his buttocks and got off the rope bed and said loudly: "These idlers in Yuefu really deserve to be whipped and punished. Huazhang, why bother playing the old tune for so long!"

Just listening to the preface, he was already extremely satisfied with this big song, which led to even greater dissatisfaction with the officials of the Yuefu.

I didn’t think much about it before, but I only found out the origin of the "Shengshoule" after being reminded by King Yongan. A few days ago, I had to bite the bullet and participated in Luodian. There was a cold sweat inside.If he had been able to achieve a new set of rites and music early on, why would he suffer so much!

As soon as this remark came out, the expression of Shen Quanqi who was sitting on the other side changed. He has worked in Yuefu for many years, didn't Xue Huaiyi mean him?

"Song arrives!"

Li Tong raised his hand and pointed to the stage, directing everyone's attention, and apologized to Shen Quanqi.

The singing part of Daqu generally focuses on soothing rhythm and is divided into multiple segments, which can best reflect the theme of a Daqu. What is the theme of "Vientiane" Daqu, I don't need to say too much, it sings about peace and praises the Holy Lord.

As the song started, Shen Quanqi's brows and eyes were slightly relaxed, and his thoughts turned back to the performance in front of him.Rao has listened to it many times during the composition process, but when the singing sounded, he still couldn't help feeling that the lyrics of this song are neat and solemn, and he closes his eyes to savor the words carefully. , is intoxicating.

The only regret was that Xue Huaiyi, who was sitting in the middle, kept clapping and applauding, which really disturbed people's interest.

Naturally, Xue Huaiyi had difficulty appreciating the beauty of the chapters, but he could really feel the grand and dignified atmosphere of several voice singers on the stage singing one after the other. Especially because of psychological factors, he felt that this big song In fact, it surpasses many previous chapters of "Shengshoule".

The opening song of "Vientiane" is a seven-character poem, and then the song is repeated five or seven times, and the song is repeated six times, and finally ends with a four-character song line.

"pretty!"

Shen Quanqi was still closing his eyes to give the speech, when he heard a sudden cry in his ears, his body shook with fright, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xue Huaiyi's face flushed with excitement, and his eyes were fixed on the stage.

At this time, the Daqu had already entered the stage, and Shen Quanqi hurriedly cast his eyes on the stage, and saw four dancers in colorful clothes stretched their arms and danced their sleeves, soaring into the air, straight to the stage, with a flying posture.Although it is not the first time to see this scene, Shen Quanqi couldn't help clapping his hands when we see you again at this moment: "Beautiful!"

Chapter 0075

Hearing the cheers from the two people in the banquet, Li Tong was also in a good mood.What he did soaring into the sky, although it only appeared for a few moments on the stage, it has troubled him for more than ten days off the stage.

The idea of ​​combining rope dance is very simple, but there are still some technical difficulties in achieving it.For example, the pole is rigid and does not move, and the simple hanging and dragging has no aesthetic feeling at all.It is more difficult to be agile and break through, to be amazed for a moment.

In the end, the physical and mechanical knowledge in junior high school helped me achieve this effect with a combination of pulleys and levers.Those levers were tied into colorful stands between the stages, and the ropes were wrapped with sleeves to cover them. Of course, the rehearsal is still only in primary colors, but the effect is already very impressive.

The flying dancers gathered in Taichung, and after that, smoke rose from the stage, rendering the whole stage like a fairyland.This is not the effect of dry ice, but real smoke. Fires are made elsewhere to collect pine smoke, and the leather bags are filled and sent out by bellows.

Considering the feelings of the dancers, during the official performance, spices are used to store smoke.But now the scene on the stage fluttering like a fairy is really full of fireworks.Considering the contamination of various props by the smoke, Li Tong didn't even arrange to use white silk satin, but the colors were rich and vivid.

This is also because there is no combination of light and shadow in the wide scene, and white is really not easy to create a clear sense of hierarchy.Li Tong didn't dare to use any combination of light and shadow. The only thing he could think of and do in such a short period of time was an open flame, but there were so many silks and satins on the stage. run away.

Xue Huaiyi was fascinated by watching the dance, but Li Tong suddenly raised his hand to stop the performance, turned to Xue Huaiyi and asked solemnly, "Is it possible for Master Xue to write scriptures before we can inquire?"

What he asked was naturally the "Da Yun Jing Yi Shu". This scripture will be written next year, which is the first year of Zaicu, but the content is not a secret.

Xue Huaiyi was taken aback for a moment, a little puzzled and embarrassed: "Recently, everything is busy, and I really don't have time to ask. Wang asked these..."

"Success or failure, take this meaning. I don't know if Master Xue is interested in showing off the jade tree on stage?"

Li Tong asked again.

"Me? I want to fly too?"

When Xue Huaiyi heard this, his face immediately became more excited, and he was eager to try.He watched the dancing girl flying up, and felt extremely amazed, and he also likes to play and like to be in the limelight, so when he heard King Yong'an say this, he felt a little itchy.

"The dance of teasing is strange but dangerous. Please ask Master Xue for another respect."

Li Tong denied it casually, he was already a little used to this monk, and he didn't know what to think, you look good when you fly?

Of course, if you really want to talk about danger, there is actually no danger. The dancers seem to be very dangerous in the air, but the ropes around their waists and behind them are very tenacious.Li Tong had to think about himself and also be responsible for these dancers. It was just a song and dance performance, and it was not worth risking his life.

Therefore, when selecting the material, he also put in great effort to think about it. Although those light and thin strands are beautiful, they are not suitable for use.It wasn't until Shen Quanqi's personal connections were entrusted that he got some tough enough materials from the Advocacy Department under Tongsi Lisi.The Advocacy Department is in charge of Lubu military music, and their utensils are far more abundant than the Taile Department.

Seeing Xue Huaiyi's face full of eagerness to move, he dragged Xue Huaiyi to the stage, and the dancers stood side by side in the middle of the stage. Holding it up, there is a huge lotus bud cut and tied in colored silk.

"Master Xue, please come here and sit firmly among the flowers. After the tricks have danced twice, the lotus will appear on the stage. At that time, Master Xue will divide the flowers from the pistils and hold the scriptures. From this stage, lotuses will grow step by step and enter the stage. For this arrangement, does Master Xue..."

Li Tong was still raising his hand to explain, but Xue Huaiyi was already waving his arms, stomping his feet and laughing loudly: "Wonderful, wonderful! It's really wonderful! It's so interesting, and the king is so handsome, who would have thought! I want to sit in the middle? I It is necessary to divide the flowers and present the scriptures! Haha, it is really wonderful!"

Seeing Xue Huaiyi losing his temper with joy, Li Tong felt somewhat sad in his heart.

The "Da Yun Jing" is Wu Zetian's pavement for public opinion when he was in the Tang Dynasty. He, the king of Tang Zong, used this trick of presenting scriptures in different ways, which is really embarrassing.

But there is no way, for the sake of my life.At worst, in the future, this dedication will be changed to Guixi, and it will be used by his uncle or himself. Once he goes in and out, it can be regarded as a small tour within the family.

In fact, in this last scene, Li Tong originally had another idea, that is to let his second brother Li Shouli sit in the lotus, the flowers bloom and people come out, and the pipa sings, so as to make a sense of presence in front of their grandma.This kind of limelight is not afraid of showing off. The grandson of a drunken person is not worthy of Wu Zetian's vigilance.

Li Tong has confidence in his own appearance, and also feels that there must be more stunning effects on his body.But he also understands that he is in the state of mind of a petty person like him, and he is really familiar with Wu Zetian, and he often comes and goes, and peeping his mind every day can exhaust him to death.

Li Shouli was careless and had no intention of scheming, so perhaps his grandma would love him even more.After all, in terms of routine, a domineering president always prefers silly girls.A type like Wei Tuan'er, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to make a big death, he can get along well under Wu Zetian's wings.

The situation in Wu Zhou was turbulent, and the future should not be ignored. Li Tong felt that even if he couldn't survive it himself, he might be able to suffer less blows and tortures in the future if he won some protection for his second brother's life.This kid's fertility has also been proven, and he will have a son to continue his heir in the future, so that the incense will not be cut off after him.

As for Li Shouli's lack of heart and lungs, there is no need to worry about this, people only grow through suffering.In the future, he still lived happily for so many years, especially during Xuanzong's reign, the clan's situation was not as easy as that of the Wu Zhou period, and he could still have a litter of children.

But before that, it was discovered that Xue Huaiyi's mood was not right, which made Li Tong's heart grow dark.Dajiu's performance of music is what he can think of and can do right now, the only thing that can get close to Wu Zetian, to gain a sense of presence and earn sympathy points, it is really not to be missed.

So after weighing for a long time, Li Tong decided to give this opportunity to Xue Huaiyi, to strengthen Xue Huaiyi's participation, and to ensure that there were fewer variables in this matter.

Xue Huaiyi simply fell in love with this arrangement of King Yong'an, and even if he couldn't wait to rehearse it.

He sits on a lotus-shaped cushion and rises on the stage with the dance music. When he steps off the lotus platform and walks forward from the stage, the dancers on both sides hold the lacquerware on the ground and pull their bare hands. Under the lacquerware, lotus petals made of colorful silk and bamboo strips pop out, showing the beauty of lotus growing step by step.

It was the first time that Li Tong showed the stage effect of this scene. Not to mention Xue Huaiyi on the stage for a while, all the people watching the rehearsal around, including Shen Quanqi, cheered and applauded. The effect was really good.

When Li Tong saw this scene, he was basically half relieved.The level of the whole Daqu is already extremely high, and the last scene of presenting the scriptures even elevates the artistic conception.Besides, he couldn't think of a better way to show obedience and show usefulness.

Putting aside distracting thoughts in his mind, he also concentrated on appreciating.It has to be said that Xue Huaiyi is indeed dignified, and after walking out of the lotus platform, the lotus growing every step of the way makes him look like a jade monk.Just walking, there is always a trace of hesitation in the publicity, and the eyes are wandering, which is still not solemn.

But these are small issues, as long as someone loves them.Li Tong can't afford to point and point, which is annoying.

For this dance scene, Xue Huaiyi really loves it, he can't extricate himself from it, so much so that his eyes are red from the pine smoke and he doesn't stop.Li Tong was really worried that he would be poisoned by the smoke, so he hung up in the rehearsal. After several attempts, Xue Huaiyi finally gave up.

"Wang is really a great wit and talent. Such a stunning drama and dance can be made in a short time! Such a talent, how many people in the world can match it!"

After getting off the stage, Xue Huaiyi held Li Tong while rubbing his red smoke eyes, and kept praising him, but he didn't forget to put forward his own opinion: "It's just that the smoke is choking, it's not beautiful. But it's a trivial matter, I There are spices in the White Horse Temple that can be used to store smoke, which will be sent to the prison later, and we will take advantage of the short few days at the end of the year to carefully rehearse a few times, and when it comes to the big wine ceremony, we will amaze the world at once!"

Li Tong also readily accepted Xue Huaiyi's praise, and kept saying that Shen Quanqi also contributed a lot.This time, Shen Quanqi did help a lot in arranging the music. Li Tong knew his current situation, and there was no hope of repaying him. He only hoped that Xue Huaiyi could give Shen Quanqi some rewards by borrowing flowers and presenting Buddha.

The effect of the music is gratifying, and Shen Quanqi is also honored.After that, Xue Huaiyi thanked him politely, which also relieved him a little.

Because Xue Huaiyi was obsessed with rehearsals, it was already late at the end, and Shen Quanqi was a foreign minister after all, so he was not allowed to stay in the confinement, and took advantage of the sunset to bid farewell and leave.

Li Guangshun in the Inner Literature Center also finished his day of study, and hurried into the Inner Teaching Workshop to meet his two brothers.Xue Huaiyi was in a good mood, and when he learned that the three kings had a long journey back, he offered to send them back to the Institute of Renzhi.

On the way, Xue Huaiyi tugged at Li Tong's sleeves, motioning him to walk with him, and said in a low voice: "Wang is born noble and full of talent. Such a talented person is really rare. Under the protection of His Majesty the Emperor, you will be safe for the rest of your life." .Recently, it is only in the ban, so don't come in and out at will."

Hearing this, Li Tong's heart skipped a beat, and then he heard Xue Huaiyi sneer and said: "On the way to Luodian, Zuojin Wuwei Qiu Shenji visited me and begged me not to have close contact with the king and others. What a joke! I made friends Who wants him to be blocked by an army!"

Xue Huaiyi said that Qiu Shenji begged him, and he was putting gold on his face.

A few days ago, he was traveling with his driver to Luoshui. Unexpectedly, the general of the Zuo Jinwu Guard, Qiu Shenji, led his soldiers to lead him away from the ceremony team, and immediately pressed his knife to talk to him, and the tone was not very polite: "Xue is from Yuri. It's been a long time, or I don't know the past. Qiu is a loyal soul, fearless in everything, I just ask Master Xue to stay away from a certain number of people, and give me a mile away, so that we can be safe!"

The Jinwu Guards were in charge of the defense of the city of Shendu, Luo Dian even sent out all the troops, and Qiu Shenji used the name of guidance to lead Xue Huaiyi to isolation.Although Xue Huaiyi was sure that the other party would not dare to hurt him, but at that time the lone car was besieged in the countryside, surrounded by tigers and wolves, it was a lot of courage not to be so scared that he peed his pants on the spot.

After returning to the city, Xue Huaiyi also mentioned this matter to the God Emperor on the sidelines, but the God Emperor just smiled but did not express anything in particular, which also made Xue Huaiyi a little uneasy.

Xue Huaiyi was naturally a little annoyed by Qiu Shenji's sway, but all his authority also came from the God Emperor, and if the God Emperor didn't speak out, he really had nothing to do with a general like Qiu Shenji.

After weighing it for a few days, I still felt that there was no need for Qiu Shenji to miss King Yong'an and others. This time I came to Neijiaofang, but I actually planned to get out of the matter.However, the magnificence and magnificence presented by the dance music afterwards, especially the sense of accomplishment of being a showman after participating in it personally, also made him intoxicated.

What Qiu Shenji wanted to do was his business, and Xue Huaiyi didn't want to interfere.But that thug thought that a few words of intimidation would make him shrink his head, Xue Huaiyi was really not afraid!This time, being willing to warn King Yong'an is the limit of mutual friendship.

Chapter 0076

Xue Huaiyi's warning this time made Li Tong feel Qiu Shenji's urgent determination to kill the grass and roots, so he even threatened Xue Huaiyi.

It can also be seen from this that Qiu Shenji is really arrogant to a critical point, or he is conceited of his great achievements and weight, thinking that Wu Zetian cannot do without him.With such a mind, the facts will give him an answer.

Li Tong just kept this matter in his heart.

At least he now has the hope of Dajiu, otherwise he will really go back to the Institute of Renzhi and stay behind closed doors, and organize to frame Li Dan's black materials, and he is going to fight to the death.Even though he didn't know what he could receive on this big drink, it was really useless to think too much.

At the end of the year, not only many great gifts were staged in the imperial court, but also various folk festivals came one after another.For example, on the winter solstice not long ago, the concubine Fang also proposed that the three kings could take a day off from school to celebrate at the Renzhi Academy.

But at that time, Li Tong's mind was full of compiling Daqu, and the time was getting tighter and tighter, so there was no feeling of festiveness.Even Li Shouli loves to play around so much, knowing that there is a Qiu Shenji watching their family, he just said that he is dedicated to learning and refuses to play around, but it moved his aunt Fang to tears, and sighed that Erlang finally With the weather can be expected.

After the twelfth lunar month, there are also gatherings on the ritual day, and there are frequent music calls in the Neijiaofang.If it was just Li Tong brothers, the rehearsal would be impossible if the dance and music were not in order.However, with Xue Huaiyi here, the situation is different. No matter how short the staff is, the "Vientiane" Daqu should respond to relevant people, etc., and the inner teaching workshop still dare not divide and dispatch at will.

If so, five or six days later, Shen Quanqi left and announced that the selection of dance music had begun.Everyone in Neijiaofang is also proficient in rehearsal. Under the leadership of Xue Huaiyi, more than two hundred people went to participate in the election.

Although Li Shouli was also a member of the music club, he was the heir to the king after all, and the location of the dance and music was placed in the official office of Sili Temple, not in Da Neizhong.In the absence of a clear edict, no one dared to lead him out of Da Nei privately.

So the two brothers waited anxiously in the inner teaching workshop until noon, and in the evening, Xue Huaiyi, with fluttering monk clothes, strode back to the inner teaching workshop. Ming Tang’s new play! All the voices are still waiting to be recorded in Sili Temple, because I’m afraid that the king and others will be anxious, I’ll go back and let you know!”

The seventh day of the first lunar month of the Tang custom is Human Day. Hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help but smile, and Li Shouli even shouted: "It's done, it's done! Sunnu, we've done it..."

But Li Tong still keenly noticed a question: "Registration?"

"Music is presented in front of the imperial court, there are many musicians from inside and outside, and when passing through the palace, it is natural to collect and record the names and records."

Xue Huaiyi replied casually.

"But my second brother is also a member of the club, should I also enter it?"

Li Tong asked anxiously, don't be too busy to fail.

"Of course there is no need for the king and others. At that time, there will be a palace envoy to guide you directly into the shrine, so you don't need to go to the outer court, and naturally you don't need to ask questions by name."

Xue Huaiyi saw Li Tong's anxious eyebrows and eyes, so he also guessed what he was worried about. He patted his chest and said, "When we first met, I was like a king. You and I have the same righteousness. What people say about me, I know in my heart, the only righteousness." There is nothing to lose here. There is no need to talk about other things, but this song was completed by me and the king, and it will not be half-way perfect!"

It is not for nothing that he said so firmly and with awe-inspiring righteousness.

Whether a big song is successful or not is a trivial matter.The key point is that there are scripture-related content, this "Da Yun Jing Yi Shu", which is closely watched by the emperor, Xue Huaiyi did not dare to make a private decision.

Although he loves to be in the limelight, it is not too important to lose weight, so he also mentioned this matter to the God Emperor and asked if it was okay.Of course, when asking for instructions, it is inevitable to praise this big song, and I don't want to let go of such an opportunity to show off.

After hearing this, the Emperor Shen took the initiative to ask the three kings to attend the meeting that day, so Xue Huaiyi dared to pat his chest to show his loyalty.Otherwise, it's okay to play music, he is not sure whether to lead the three kings to attend, Qiu Shenji's threat still left some influence on him.

Of course, Li Tong didn't know the twists and turns, but seeing Xue Huaiyi express his attitude so loyally, he was really grateful, he pulled Li Shouli and thanked Xue Huaiyi.

"The king is a man with a heart, and it is even more difficult to be willing to work hard besides his talents. Everything is done from the bottom of his heart. After many days of hard work, he is exhausted after thinking about it. After today, he will return to his residence to take care of him and wait for the next day to enjoy himself!"

Xue Huaiyi raised his hand to pat his shoulder again to express his encouragement, but when he dropped his hand, he felt that his hand was empty, and saw that King Yong'an had already slumped on the ground, and his face changed suddenly: "Come here, come here! Help the king quickly!"

After a while of jumping around, when Li Tong woke up again, he found that he had returned to his own dormitory in Renzhiyuan.The aunt Fang's reprimand came from outside, blaming Li Guangshun and other two elder brothers for how they could make the younger brother work so hard, there should be a standard for studying hard.

As soon as he moved here, Zheng Jin, the nanny who was drooping her head and wiping her tears by the side of the couch, had already noticed it and bowed her head to ask questions. Li Tong raised his hand to indicate that he was fine.

His fainting this time was not due to his physical weakness. His living environment has improved, and he is also exercising intentionally, so his body has become much stronger.In addition to mental exhaustion, it is more that the mood has changed from long-term extreme tension to sudden relaxation, and it is really unbearable.

Being in a desperate situation and immersed in it for several months, there is no glimmer of hope in sight, but the danger is getting closer and closer, and after a lot of hard work, I finally see a ray of hope.The taste in it is really hard to express.

Li Guangshun and the two of them were scolded by the empress, but they managed to keep their tongues tight and didn't say that the third brother was not so tired because he studied hard, but because he was teased by dance and music.
