Crown Tang emperor

In the side hall, Li Tong and other three brothers were isolated on the edge of the side and rear of the hall together with everyone in the club. Layers of curtains hung down to block the line of sight, and the scene of the officials ascending the hall could not be seen.

The advocacy and music sounded, announcing that the emperor and the attendants had arrived at the Xiangdian, followed by the sound of mountains shouting and worshiping.Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, all members of the music club behind the curtain bowed in the direction of the throne in the hall.

Li Tong followed the crowd as they carried out the ceremony of worship, his mood can be described as disturbed and subtle.On the one hand, he was excited to be closer than ever to Wu Zetian, the actual supreme ruler of the empire, but the distance was only a few layers of curtains and less than ten feet away.On the other hand, I feel that such a short distance is the two worlds of people before and after.

In the hall, apart from the sound of drumming and music, there were also the undulating and chaotic sounds of the officials, which echoed in the spacious hall, creating a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

Not to mention the many messy thoughts in his mind, but upon hearing these voices, Li Tong came up with a new idea. The layout of this hall has its own effect of gathering and gathering sounds, and it should be good to perform Daqu in a while.

He used all sorts of messy thoughts to calm down the tension in his heart. The ceremony in the hall had already started formally. Li Tong didn't hear any haughty and cold voice saying "free from ceremony and flat body", but could only hear the slightly dull and dry voice of the ceremony officials. The tone of voice seemed to be reciting a difficult and obscure imperial edict.

Because there was a hanging curtain to block the sound insulation, Li Tong couldn't hear the contents of the edicts clearly, but after thinking about it, he knew that it was nothing more than the prosperity of the country under the leadership of the wise emperor, and the efforts of all the kings to encourage each other.

It took a long time to recite the imperial edict, and Li Tong gradually became aware of some flavors. Every time a certain point was reached in the recitation, all the officials would start to pray to the mountain. When the entire edict was read, there were no other noises in the hall. .

And during this process, everyone in the music club had to kneel on the ground all the time, unable to get up or raise their heads.The etiquette in the hall is a game between rulers big and small. All the members of the music club are lowly, and they are not even qualified to participate in it. They can only silently kowtow to the ground.

The advocacy and music stopped, and all the officials in the hall were seated. Only at this time did a deep female voice sound from the hall: "Hundred officials work hard, the community wishes good luck, ancient etiquette, wine and food are ready, and I will share with you."

Li Tong thought the salutation was over, and just lifted his hands off the ground, when the sound sounded, there was another series of salutations from outside the curtain, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's really not easy for these officials to eat a meal.

No matter how lengthy the etiquette was, it finally came to an end. At this time, the rising sun had penetrated into the hall, but it made the light in the space behind the curtain even darker.

Two ceremonial officials led a group of legislators to the palace to toast and celebrate, and gave the prince a meal. After some exchanges, another half an hour passed, and finally a low voice from the ceremonial officer came from nearby: "Let's go to the music department, go to the palace!" Hall of Fame!"

After Li Tong heard the words, his spirits lifted immediately, but Li Shouli, who was standing behind him, suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes: "Xunnu, are you, are you nervous?"

"Go, go, practice hard for many days, and use it at this time. There are so many people in the room, you just treat it like nothing."

Li Tong patted him on the shoulder and cheered him up in a low voice.The three brothers each have their own needs, Li Shouli needs to play the pipa, and Li Guangshun needs to coordinate with the ritual officer to order the order of the music club on stage.As for Li Tong, as a music presenter, he waited until the performance of the Daqu was finished, and all the members of the Taiyue Department came to the hall to invite him to appreciate it.

The musicians filed out from behind the curtain. Standing behind the curtain, Li Tong couldn't help but feel happy when he heard short, uncontrollable exclamations from the hall.It must be that there are too many people in the club, which has far exceeded the inherent cognition of these people. The crowd is so powerful, and this effect is what they want.

As the instrumentalists with the largest proportion took the stage, the space here gradually became deserted. Li Tong looked around and found some female officials standing behind the crowd, and Shangguan Wan'er was among them.

He raised his hand to make a gesture, and nodded to the other party, but Shangguan Wan'er just glanced at him sideways, and his gaze stayed on the sachet on his waist for a few breaths.

Chapter 0086

At this time, in the chamber hall, the ministers sat in rows according to shifts, and their food tables had already set up fine wine and several types of dishes.

On such an occasion, since etiquette is the main thing, those dishes are prepared in advance. After a lengthy etiquette, the heat is not much when it is served, and naturally no one is hungry to eat.

Hearing the repertoire of the "Vientiane" grand song announced by the ceremonial officer has already aroused a round of curiosity among the officials. There are not a few of them attending the ceremony year after year, but they have never heard such a banquet grand song.

Da Jiu's occasions were not always demanding seriousness, after some whispering, many people soon knew that this was a new song made by Liang Guogong Xue Huaiyi for Da Qinguo.Xue Huaiyi soon became the focus of attention in the hall, but the eyes he cast on him were complicated.

Xue Huaiyi sat at the table, holding a wine cup and smiling, looking forward to the appearance of all the members of the music club.As the number of people on the stage increased, exclamations gradually sounded among the officials.

There are really too many people on stage in the club, there are nearly a hundred people in the blink of an eye, and there are as many as dozens of categories of musical instruments. Just seeing this posture has far surpassed many old music.

Not to mention Xue Huaiyi's elation when he heard everyone's exclamation, Shen Quanqi was also present today because he was also a part of Taile Department.There are many colleagues in Xi Zuo, and they also know that Shen Quanqi is related to this Daqu, so they couldn't help leaning forward to ask out of curiosity: "The bachelor's expansion of this piece is completely contrary to the usual, what kind of quality is it that requires so many voices to play?"

"Everyone, please sit still and wait, today's new song should not insult the eyes and ears."

Although he is not very willing to talk with Xue Huaiyi, but as the main compiler of the song book, Shen Quanqi is quite confident when talking about this work.

Everyone was amazed, at first it was just because of the large number of performers, but when Li Shouli, who was dressed in Zongwang uniform, appeared on the stage with a pipa in his arms, some people couldn't help but exclaimed in the audience.

It can't be blamed for their fuss. It is really the second half of the fourth year of Chui Gong, and the situation of the Li clan kings is really sensitive and embarrassing.Previously, there were many Li clan kings present in Luodian, but in the short period of ten days before and after the year, most of these people faded out of sight.

The young king with the pipa in his arms was unknown to most of the people present, and for a moment they couldn't control their curiosity to ask around, and there was a buzz of private discussions in the hall.

Wu Chengsi, who was in the front row, naturally knew the other party's identity. Hearing the discussion of the officials, he couldn't help but glance at Wu Sansi who was seated by the side, full of anger.Wu Sansi was also full of resentment at the moment, clenched his fists under the food table, his eyes flickered, and motioned for the waiter behind the table to come forward and whisper a few words.

Today, the Emperor of God is wearing a crown and a twelve-chapter suit, sitting on the imperial bed, looking refreshed and full of majesty, his eyes are piercing behind the bead, and the small movements of the ministers whispering to each other are under his eyes, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised , turned his gaze to Xue Huaiyi in the banquet under your majesty's steps, and said with a smile: "The voice has not yet risen, and the crowd is excited. Today, Master, Quyue will win with momentum!"

Hearing what the Divine Emperor said, Xue Huaiyi became more interested, and he got up from the table to worship again: "The ministers unite their talents and abilities, and I respectfully present this chapter. The winners are not limited to human power. I respectfully ask you to retire for a while, and Rong Chen will act calmly. Congratulations to my lord on the best occasion!"

"Go, don't laugh at others."

Shenhuang raised his hand to signal, Xue Huaiyi bowed again and retreated.

"Happy!"

After worshiping again, all the people in the music department returned to their respective positions. Following the order of the ritual officer, the Buddhist chant of the monks sounded first.

Hearing this structure with a completely different arrangement of sounds and colors, the expressions of the officials in the hall became even more different, but before they had time to appreciate them carefully, the sounds rose one after the other, and movements with rich categories and styles poured out like a tide, dense and meticulous. It makes people feel that they have no time to respond, and can only listen and accept passively.

After hearing the sound, the divine emperor in the hall, his eyes were exquisite and radiant, and he almost caught the brilliance of pearls. Especially when he saw Li Shouli, the king of Siyong, who was playing the pipa in the music department, his expression was kind.

Behind the curtain, Li Tong did not see the specific situation in the hall, but listening to the dense and smooth music, he also felt that the effect was far better than during the rehearsal, which was really different from the previous audio-visual enjoyment.

If he was the only one who felt this way, it could be attributed to psychological effects, but Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing a few meters away, also showed an intoxicated look, and looked at him frequently, with unbelievable splendor in her sight.

At the beginning, the feedback was good, and Li Tong's mood gradually stabilized, but soon he found that the surrounding atmosphere was a little different. Standing not far from him, there were two officials in green robes who seemed to be paying close attention to him, and two other officials in the hall. The wielder is also faintly approaching him.

After realizing this, Li Tong couldn't help laughing inwardly. He just felt that the Wu family really didn't know what to say, and couldn't figure out the key point.He didn't dare to forcefully drive him away in the corridor just now, but now he is already in the hall, how can such a posture scare him?

Now that the flattery has been shot, if the effect is not satisfactory, even if the Wu family pulls him forward, he has to think about whether he should retreat back and think about something else.

But if the effect is great, even if Wu Chengsi and the others come up to stop him in person, Li Tongchong will have to go up to meet his grandma for some compliments. Do you still dare to kill me in front of the officials in the hall?

Thinking of this in his heart, Xue Huaiyi came back from the back of the palace, he had already changed his attire, and when he saw King Yong'an head-on, he waved again and again, with an excited look on his face.He walked to Li Tong's side, patted Li Tong's shoulder and said with a low smile: "The music is moving, the officials are fascinated, and His Majesty the Emperor admires it. Haha, these rare and strange vulgarities, the real surprises have not yet been staged!"

"It's only natural. Master Xue has an outstanding demeanor, ascending the lotus platform to the palace, stepping on the flowers and offering it, who can't be amazed by the audience!"

Li Tong smiled and complimented, and watched the enthusiastic Xue Huaiyi enter the stage under the guidance of the club staff and prepare to take the stage.

At this moment, the music in the palace turned again, and officially entered the opening part of the song. The left, middle and right triple chorus sounded, and the music also dropped to the palace to set off the lyrics.Although he was not original after all, Li Tong had a strange feeling in his heart when he heard the lyrics written by himself being sung at the most high-end banquet occasions in the empire.

"Your Majesty is so strange that people dare not look at him with ordinary eyes."

When he was closing his eyes and listening to the song, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Li Tong looked sideways and saw Shangguan Wan'er walking over at some point, staring at him with slightly frowned eyebrows.

"I don't know if a talented person speaks music, or speaks rituals?"

Li Tong took a small step back, and his eyes drifted to the few people watching him around him, implying that the current situation is not calm.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't seem to have accepted Li Tong's hint, her pink neck stretched slightly, and while listening to the song that was still being sung, she looked at Li Tong with a smile that seemed to be self-deprecating: "The king himself said that he is nostalgic In the past, the concubine also felt that she should be an old acquaintance, but the hand in hand, the relationship was completed, and the old entanglement, I think the Fang family played me?"

Li Tong felt dizzy when he heard this resentful question, and didn't know how to answer. After pondering for a while, he bowed his hands to Shangguan Wan'er: "I must thank the talented person for saving me, and the non-talented person for protecting me." , Shouyi is probably unlucky enough to stand here."

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, the corners of her mouth trembled, but her eyes fell on the sachet around his waist, and she became a little hazy again, and then she whispered: "There are all kinds of personnel affairs, and it's not easy to make an inch. Your Majesty can go this far, so I don't think so." I need advice from Yu Zi. But the flowers are blinding the eyes, and there is a murderous intent in every inch, I hope the king will be cautious."

After she finished speaking, she walked away and returned to her original position to stand still.

Li Tong stood where he was, opened his mouth but made no sound.

He would never feel that Shangguan Wan'er's remarks were jealousy because of the close interaction between him and Wei Tuan'er. His own situation and the current overall environment could not tolerate the slightest romance between men and women.After this reminder, it is natural that most of them are good thoughts, and they are worried that they will be confused by the beauty and lose their position.

Gratitude is naturally there, but Li Tong couldn't laugh or cry when she thought that Shangguan Wan'er regarded herself as a middle-school kid with a hard time getting through.

At this time, the song in the hall had come to an end, the singing gradually weakened, and the voices of people became noisy.Li Tong could hear that there were already many courtiers chanting or admiring the solemnity and elegance of the lyrics, and his heart was filled with joy.

The singing became intermittent, and the emperor in the hall also raised his hands and clapped his hands to express his appreciation, and praised Shen Quanqi by name in the hall: "The music is so beautiful that it is difficult to enjoy it leisurely. This chapter makes the tune pale. The song has been repeated several times, the style is dignified, the style is elegant, and the design of the insect is as gorgeous as it is. The new chapter made by the bachelor, so far has surpassed the previous ones! "

Hearing that the Divine Emperor gave such a high evaluation to this Daqu, there were few voices in the hall, not only because of the authority of the Divine Emperor, but also because of the evaluation that expressed their respective inner feelings.

Originally, because of Xue Huaiyi's participation, everyone in the hall inevitably lowered their evaluation of this Daqu, but the content presented so far is indeed extraordinary.

The huge music club and the rich music collocation are already dizzying, and not everyone in the group of officials is familiar with the rhythm, and may not be able to fully appreciate the rich skills contained in it.But after the song has been performed several times, the rich and dignified lyrics are heard in the ears, and each of them arouses different responses in the bottom of my heart.

Being named and praised by the God Emperor was something to be proud of, but now Shen Quanqi was in a messy mood.He saw the gloomy demeanor of the former Wu family's two ministers, especially the heavenly official Wu Chengsi who was directly subordinate to him, and his unkind eyes made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

What made Shen Quanqi even more uncertain was the attitude of the Emperor.Before Dajiu, the music club had already presented the detailed rules, and the Emperor of God must have known that this song was written by others, not to mention that there was a King Siyong sitting on the stage at the moment, but now the Emperor only praised him by name. What kind of intention do you have?

Chapter 0087

Shen Quanqi's embarrassment did not last long, because the performance quickly reached the stage of flying into the sky.

Dozens of actors in beautiful clothes came on stage, holding pipas, or dancing sleeves, dancing in various poses and with different poses, like dazzling flowers. Although the scene is gorgeous, there is no priority. feel.

Many courtiers in the palace shook their heads and sighed when they saw this scene.So far, they have generally been able to feel the meaning of this big song, just like the track "Vientiane", which is inclusive and richly presented.

So far, the Daqu has gone through the preface and the song, both of which are highly completed, which can be said to gradually elevate people's audio-visual experience.The prologue is already wonderful in terms of arrangement, just as the emperor said, people worry that the follow-up songs will not be able to enhance the interest based on this.

After singing the song several times, the hidden worries in everyone's hearts have disappeared.If the arrangement of the music in Sanxu is too fancy and ostentatious, then after the lyrics are sung, it already gives people a sense of grace that is mellow and all-encompassing.

Just when everyone's expectations were higher, the music broke through, and it should have been more interesting, but the dance music picture presented is beautiful, but it is chaotic and lacks a theme to guide and draw, such as the scene in the prologue The sound of Fanbai and the elegant lyrics in the song are like a group of demons dancing wildly, but there is no point at all.

Ordinary Daqu, even if the front structure is mediocre and vulgar, at the beginning and end, it must be brilliant and amazing.But this "Vientiane" Daqu, the first part is already so rich and stunning, if it only stops at the kind of seemingly radiant, but in fact chaotic and disorderly noise after breaking through, it will be really disappointing.

But how to sublimate the fun, everyone present thought hard, but they didn't have a plan. In fact, the content presented in the previous part has already advertised the fun too high, which makes people feel that there is no way to surpass it.

But before many people had time to sigh, there was a rush of jiegu sound like a broken silver bottle, and the sound of pipa burst out like water slurry, the melody was only a rush, and even the basic rhythm board was lost. There is no existence, which makes the hearts of all the spectators tense, lest the curve will collapse!

"Huh...ha! That, that is!"

An exclamation sounded, and all the people in the hall looked up together, only to see that the enchanting and chaotic scene of dancers on the stage suddenly changed suddenly, and four dancers in colorful feather skirts suddenly rose from the ground, like Lingbo Feixian danced directly in the air!

clap la la...

The first thing that sounded in the hall was not a human exclamation, but a series of broken cups and cups knocked down. The sound was not only in one place, but sounded everywhere in the hall.

That astonishing scene was like a thunderbolt, and the shock brought by the sudden transcendence of the world is really indescribable. Because the officials lost their composure, many people stood up in surprise from the table, eating cups and cups Scattered all over the ground, still unaware!

Although Wu Zetian, the emperor in the hall, knew this scene from other people's verbal descriptions, when he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help showing admiration and clapping his hands in praise: "Flying to the sky is astonishing, it's rare to see it in the world!"

Although Li Tong behind the curtain could not see the amazed scene of the spectators in the hall, he could still imagine the shock brought by that glimpse when he heard the sound of cups falling. , Turning around and shaking his fist heavily at him, it can be seen that the performance effect is indeed amazing.

Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing on the left side of the hall, and the other female officials also couldn't see the beautiful scenery of the hall, but they were able to capture the astonishment of the officials. At the same time, the words of the emperor's joyful gaffe came clearly, and Shangguan Wan'er was extremely curious in her heart for a while. , and even looked at Li Tong with her beautiful eyes, secretly complaining that the young king didn't know how to make up such a beautiful scene, it's a pity that he couldn't see it with his own eyes.

After a while, a series of exclamations sounded from all over the hall. Everyone in the audience was emotionally excited. All kinds of discussions and exclamations even overwhelmed the music on the stage for a while, and the various sounds could not stop for a long time.

Chunguan Shangshu Wu Sansi also stared blankly at the flying maiko on the stage who was still dancing in the air. After a while, he suddenly felt that his clothes were cold and wet. has fallen into his mat, and has wet his robe.

Wu Sansi took a deep breath, slightly adjusted his sitting posture and moved his seat closer to Wu Chengsi's side, and whispered: "The young king is good at playing with coquettish scenery and arranging extraordinary manpower, it really can't last long!"

It’s okay if he didn’t say that, but as soon as he said it, Wu Chengsi subconsciously turned his head to look at the happy emperor in the hall, then turned around and gave Wu Sansi a bitter look: “You just have to be responsible for everything you do. Your Majesty can hardly see such a strange mind! What's the use of being disgusted now..."

Wu Sansi's face darkened suddenly when he heard the low reprimand, the bulging masseter muscles on his cheeks wriggled like reptiles, and he deeply regretted not being able to expel the three kings before the ceremony.He really didn't expect that the Daqu made by Xue Huaiyi and the Three Kings was so strange, that the flattery was actually photographed in the sky!

The dance and music continued. At this time, the officials in the palace no longer had the time to comment on whether this big song was good or bad. They just raised their heads and widened their eyes to appreciate the enchanting dance of the flying maiko in midair, for fear of missing a moving scene. Breathtaking beauty.When the maiko flew into the sky, any evaluation has become superfluous, and the facts have proved that their previous regrets are just groundless worries!

Everyone's eyes were focused on the maiko dancing in the air, and they didn't realize that the stage was filled with cigarettes, making the whole stage look like a fairyland on Yaotai.Fortunately, the guards in the palace were still able to fulfill their responsibilities. After realizing this abnormality, they walked out, circled the steps for a week, and guarded the emperor above.

The Emperor of God sat on the imperial seat, enjoying the dance and music with great interest.

Wei Tuan'er, the maidservant standing behind, was also blushing with excitement at the moment, while staring at the stage, he frequently looked at the corners of the hall where no one was paying attention and the curtains were hanging down, so that there was a bit of bitterness, young Wang Qu It is moving, and the expansion of such a stunning and beautiful Daqu is for people to marvel at, but itself can only hide in a dark and uninhabited corner.

"What's that on stage?"

Finally someone noticed the strangeness on the stage, raised his hand and pointed, and exclaimed.

Hearing this exclamation, everyone came back to their senses, and looked into the stage again, only to see that in the center of the stage, besides the dancers, there was a huge lotus bud slowly rising at some point.

The sound of the music became soothing and melodious, and the height of the flying maiko also dropped, and each dancing water sleeve circled around the rising lotus, and soon this huge lotus became the focus of the entire stage.

The lotus was originally closed, but with the sound of the tune, the petals peeled off one by one to make a blooming posture, and soon someone noticed the strangeness, and exclaimed again: "There is someone in the flower!"

"There is someone among the flowers... yes, it is Master Xue!"

The lotus finally fully bloomed. Xue Huaiyi was wearing a purple gold monk's robe and sat on the lotus platform. The monk's eyes were closed, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly when he heard the exclamation of everyone in the hall.But I have to say that Xue Huaiyi has a handsome appearance, and now he closes his eyes to hide a pair of eyeballs that are too oily, which is really a bit of a solemn treasure.

At this time, all the miscellaneous music on the stage stopped, only the drums of various colors came and went one after another. Xue Huaiyi slowly got up from the lotus platform and walked down the lotus platform.As his feet landed on the stage, many maikos had already been scattered. His slim figure was stretched and prostrate on the ground. With one step, a lotus flower bloomed. .

Xue Huaiyi walked proudly, holding the scriptures wrapped in gold silk in his hand, and he was supported by lotus flowers every step of the way. He was sent to the edge of the stage, and then he danced and worshiped. Picking up the Buddha's words and presenting them to His Majesty..."

Behind the curtain, Li Tong was stunned when he heard Xue Huaiyi's singing. This was not part of the Daqu he had composed before.And the lyrics were frank and unreserved, and they weren't written by him at all.

Although he is occasionally crazy, he is not without scale. It is fine to offer scriptures, but he will not do such a simple and blatant expression.

Now that such a situation occurs, it is obvious that he has been taken advantage of by others.It's just that they don't know whether it's Xue Huaiyi's think tank next to him, or Wu Zetian in the palace who made this extra play.

Although a little depressed in his heart, Li Tong just smiled wryly to explain himself.He was relying on the pretense of the fox and the tiger to get rid of this big dragon and phoenix, but after all, the initiative is not his own, and it is inevitable to be fueled halfway.

At this moment in the hall, the Divine Emperor stood up from the imperial seat with a reserved smile on his face.As the emperor stood up, the atmosphere in the hall was suddenly solemn, except for the sound of drums that was about to end, only the sound of Xue Huaiyi's dancing, dancing and singing echoed.

"Okay! What a fairyland of Yaotai, what a spectacle flying in the sky, Liansheng presents the scriptures! Receive the scriptures, and you will be rewarded!"

Standing on the hall, Wu Zetian overlooked the audience, with his hands slightly extended, and his tone was even more vigorous and powerful.As soon as she finished speaking, a middle official came down, took the Buddhist scriptures presented by Xue Huaiyi with both hands, and returned to present the imperial case.

The Daqu "Vientiane" came to an end, but the atmosphere in the hall was silent for a while.At the beginning, the officials were just immersed in the rich and colorful audio-visual enjoyment presented by the Daqu, but with the scene of the lotus offering the scriptures, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Wu Zetian reached out to hold up the scriptures in the yellow silk, and looked down with his eyes behind the beads. Wu Chengsi, the official minister of heaven, raised the case, and bowed: "The emperor of the gods ruled the world, and the lotus gave birth to the scriptures. Fate, the country will prosper forever!"

Following Wu Chengsi's visit to pay homage and congratulations, the hall was no longer silent, and all the officials left the table to pay respects and congratulations.It's just that this link is not a fixed protocol of etiquette, and the reaction of the officials varies from time to time. If so, the three gradually converge.

Li Tong and the others behind the curtain also prayed three times under the supervision of the ceremony officer. He lowered his head, only feeling that in the hall outside the curtain, men and women are really shameless, even more shameless than him.
