He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

On the red lacquered table in the nave were shiny cream crabs. One hundred and eight elderly people from one hundred and eight states attended according to their age, and each of them had a boy beside him to help peel the crab shells and get the crab meat.Sitting at the top of the seat was Mrs. Zheng, whose white hair was hanging down to the ground, and she was already a hundred years old. For this reason, Taichang Temple Minister Wei Heng personally accompanied him, not only letting the old man sit first, but also pouring sweet-scented osmanthus wine for him.

There were not many civil and military princes attending the banquet, and they were all dressed in crimson gauze robes, wearing Jinxian crowns, and sat around the throne of the emperor.Crown Prince Li Ying, Zhong Wang Li Heng, and Shou Wang Li Mao entered the palace, greeted the guests one after another, and whispered a few words to each other.

There are five people standing on the right seat, the head of the Zhongshu Ling and the Minister of the Ministry of War, handsome and extraordinary, with a pair of jade trees facing the wind, his eyes are as bright as torches; the Zhongshu servant next to him has a graceful temperament, a rosy face, and smiles when talking to anyone; The minister, You Cheng, stood the straightest and spoke loudly; then the servant of the household department, who was thin and capable;

Under the light of the bright temple fire, more than a thousand fresh faces were clearly in Su An's eyes as if they were his own. Not only Han people, but also guests from various ethnic groups and countries, each of them spoke and behaved differently.

Lin Zhenzhen leaned into his ear: "Mr. Xiao Ge quelled the three-year Tubo rebellion and established himself with martial arts. Although he doesn't need to go into battle now, he still has the spirit of a dragon and a tiger. Those brave generals in Hexi are all led by him." from."

"Zhang Shilang is modest, personable, and has countless disciples. He previously excavated Dayuling in the south of the Five Ridges. He made remarkable achievements and benefited one party. His poems are also brilliant, mostly embodying emotions. He is often called by the Supreme Being to play chess and chat."

"Han Xiu doesn't need to talk about it. You listen to his voice. He quarrels with the Supreme all day long. The palace says 'the king is thin and the country is fat'. Every time the Supreme realizes that he has made a mistake, he just asks the left and right Han Xiu if he knows, and the admonishment is over. arrive."

"Pei Shilang is a middle-aged boy at the age of eight, with a weak crown and rank. He is familiar with everything from prefectures, counties, royal residences, and three provinces. The Supreme Master said that he is a know-it-all. He can handle everything from fighting military supplies to disaster relief."

"As for Li Shilang, it's hard to describe. He was recommended by Lord Shou and Concubine Hui. He is proficient in melody. When there is no one around, he is very able to please the Supreme Being. If you enter the Liyuan in the future, you will see him every day."

Su An observed very carefully and did not reply.But amid the joyful conversation, Xiao Qiaofu asked, "I heard that Zishou played against the Supreme again yesterday?" Zhang Jiuling replied, "Oh, yes." Smiling kindly: "Your Majesty's cat won." Xiao Qiaofu said: "Zi Shou."

The next moment, the music of "Taihe" filled the hall, one hundred and eight old people got up, and the civil and military princes adjusted their robes and put on a welcoming gesture.The old man is exempt from courtesy. When all officials kneel down, they put their hands in front of their knees, nod their heads on the back of their hands, and bow their heads three times. "The sage is here, worshiping the moon, welcome..."

Su An will never forget the moment when he saw Li Longji with his own eyes. This person who was worshiped as the emperor by Huayi Kyushu, with light eyebrows and silver hair, dark eyes, and demeanor as plain as water, was the concubine Hui who was beside him. It is a Du Ruo plant watered by all the culture, rituals and music of the Tang Dynasty.

"The flowers are beautiful and the moon is full, so there is no need to be too polite." The colorful sleeves of three thousand female prostitutes fluttered in front of the Linde Hall. Li Longji took the jade hand of Concubine Hui and called everyone to be flat. , Prince..."

"The first chapter of Zuozubu, "Jingyunle"..." After the female prostitute left the stage, Gao Feng, the chief inspector of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, screamed again.Su An can't forget this moment, in fact, because he can't remember anything at this moment.

He was so nervous that his legs became weak, and he was forced to walk to the front of the hall.His hands were shaking violently, as if he didn't know the pipa strings at all.What's worse is that there is only Si Le in Sanxu, and if he doesn't play the five strings, no one else can play them.

At this juncture, Li Shengping held a wooden mallet and tapped the chime lightly. Fortunately, it was the palace sound that woke up Su An. He took a deep breath, and with a string of fingers moving like clouds and flowing water, he finally plucked the melody.Immediately afterwards, Lin Zhenzhen's fingers splashed on the strings of the harp like chaotic beads, connecting to the beginning without any pressure.Su An's hands are still trembling, but because of practicing too many times, it has become a subconscious habit, just follow the sequence, and survive the sequence and sequence.

It wasn't until the filming sequence was over that Su An was distracted. Amidst the clapping sound like rain, he saw Lin Ye jumping into the hall, his eyes opened suddenly, shining brightly, another somersault, and the landing was as light as a feather, ushering in the climax "Break".

In an instant, dancers and music filled the hall, pipa pearls, sheng feathers, flute meteors, human voices sang like the wind, thirteen-stringed zithers and harps were like the sun setting gold on the clouds, the running footsteps of travelers were clappers and drum beats, forest leaves leaned over and lifted The female princess's slender waist was thrown into the air, and the ribbon was swayed and spun, and then she caught it with precision, her steps were steady and silent.

Seeing the seniors forgetting their feelings, Su An's hands finally stopped shaking, and he didn't care who was watching, the more he played, the more intoxicated he became, the more he played, the more intoxicated... Even if there were a few mistakes and the banquet was fine, he could still continue the song .

A piece of "Jing Yun Le" lingered for half an hour. At the end of the song, Su An woke up suddenly and kowtowed to the ground along with the other musicians.

In the Hanlin in the front hall, there was one with a particularly clear voice, who drank three buckets of wine wildly, chanting and restraining himself.

How luxuriant the red brocade is, everyone climbs the cloudscape.

Xiangyin chases the peony, and enters the broken trembling golden branch.

Five strings cover catkins, and An Tian is a charming eyebrow.

When the song is done, the waves are still charming.

Linde has no old songs, and Shengzhao Duoye's lyrics.

If you want to see the place where the city is beautiful, look at when the moon is full.

Su An buried her face, in front of her eyes was a red carpet worth a thousand dollars, and in her mind was what Lin Zhenzhen said, the Hanlin Academy is less than a hundred feet away from the Linde Hall, and it gathers the world's great writers. pearl.

"The melody is in rhyme, the dance is amazing, and the new five-stringed strings are also intriguing, but..." Li Longji said, "When it breaks, it's 'returning to the wind and dancing in the sky'. When the moon is full and beautiful, it should be scattered in the shadows." , but there is a Gong Yin, which condenses the melody of the silk part, which seems a bit muddy, Shengping, isn't it?"

Su An was taken aback.This Gongyin was exactly what he had discussed with Li Shengping, and he just popped it out on a whim, he didn't pay much attention, but he didn't want to be caught alive by Li Longji on the dragon chair.

What made him feel even more incredible was that Li Shengping waved his sleeves, rang the chime, and replied: "Your Majesty, water has its source, tree has its root, everything in the world has a reason, so that the waxing and waning of the moon, It is not an instantaneous change, therefore, the palace tone of the five strings is just a link between the past and the future, I don't think it is muddled."

Li Longji sighed with a smile: "You say that, it reminds me of Daoji again, he is ill, I am worried." Gao Feng wiped his tears: "The prescription was prescribed by His Majesty himself with the imperial pen, how could Duke Yan know?" Holy Grace." The officials were speechless.

The crown prince and King Zhong glanced at each other, lifted their robes neatly, and knelt down to pay respects: "My son and minister are willing to devote themselves to the prosperity of the country and the country." With this heart."

Concubine Hui embraced a cat, her jade fingers gently stroked the white fluffy cat's hair: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with Shengping. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, so it is good to be reunited and prolong the year." All the officials agreed.Fortunately, Li Shengping didn't reply, and Li Longji laughed it off. Xiao Qiaofu and Zhang Jiuling commented on the poems, and the hall became lively again.A drop of sweat dripped quietly on Su An's forehead, only to realize that everything was just a joke.

Lin Zhenzhen was behind him, and whispered with a smile: "Asu, don't worry, the Supreme and the adults will never get angry when enjoying dance music, they just like to participate in it, and they are the most tolerant towards poets and musicians of."

The scene was joyful again, and the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Contest began. Li Longji respected the heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and respected more than one hundred and eight elders present. Share the days and years.

"Zuobuji, "Celebrating Shanyue"..." When Gao Feng spoke up again, the band of "Jingyunle" withdrew, and there was no room for anyone to take another look and stay for a moment.Su An tidied up the pipa, his hands were covered with sweat, but his heart was a little more daydream.

All the musicians passed by the front hall and walked on the curved bridge over the pool. The female officials in the palace surrounded Lin Zhenzhen and Lin Ye. Some gave fragrant handkerchiefs, some gave white jade bracelets, and some wrote poems. To block.

In the traffic jam, Gao Feng sneaked over from the palace and said in a low voice: "Young Master Lin, His Royal Highness King Shou gave a special reward to the lychees in Sichuan, and they have been delivered to the mansion." Lin Zhenzhen said: "I know, father-in-law has worked hard. .” Lin Ye didn’t speak.

Su An was leisurely and leisurely, looking at the excitement that had nothing to do with him, his steps were as light as a shadow, but suddenly he heard a familiar and clear voice behind him, that voice was like a sword slashing across the lake under his feet.

"Stay with the five-stringed pipa, son, stay with me. I'm not talented at the Imperial Academy, but Lin Yiyuan is waiting for the edict. I take the liberty to make a comment. The Gongyin changed by the son is unconventional and pleasant. If I guess correctly, it must be the person who composed the song "Gift to Xiuxin"."

Su An turned around and saw a man with a black ribbon on his head standing among the flowers.This man had chanted 'Red Brocade He Weirui' in the palace just now, and he looked a little presumptuous, but his eyes were like twinkling stars in the night sky.

Su An said: "I don't know how you heard it? My name is Su An." Lin Yiyuan said: "Mr. Su's style of music is dissolute, flamboyant and uninhibited. The mistakes are very obvious. It's not hard to hear." Su An: "... "

This man actually used such a serious tone.Su An said: "Are you praising me?" Lin Yiyuan said: "Yes." Su An said: "Then you are really good at talking."

Lin Yiyuan smiled: "If I can speak, I won't be able to compose such poems in the hall, but if I don't recite such poems, I will really feel sorry for Mr. Su, so...do you dare to let me Fill in a sentence?"

Su An said: "No, I don't know how to read." Lin Yiyuan said: "Young Master Su, under the Yinhua tree is a half-immortal play, three thousand moon shadows play Nan'an." Su An said: "Have you heard of "Nan'an"?" Lin Yiyuan said: "I'm homesick too."

Su An was stunned, and suddenly felt that this person was a bosom friend, but unfortunately there was not much time, and with just a few words, the other musicians had already gone a long way, so he had no choice but to say goodbye first, then turned his head and hurriedly chased after him.

Across the door, the Shengxiao in Linde Wonderland went away, and Su An walked in a daze.Lu Lan was next to him, pinching his waist just right again.Su An didn't dodge, touched her cheek, and rubbed off a strip of lead powder.

Passing through the door, there was a small carriage parked outside the right Yintai door. Hearing the neighing of the horse, Su An took a deep breath, first said goodbye to Lu Lan with a smile, and then hid alone in the dark doorway without making a sound.When he was hiding, Gu Yue, who was opposite him, was standing in front of the carriage, holding a roll of rough bamboo slips in his hands, and he didn't urge anyone, pretending that he didn't see anyone.

Su An just came out when all the gorgeously dressed musicians were gone. He wanted to laugh, but also felt sad. He ran across the palace road, took off his colorful gown and threw it into the carriage, and got on the horse in no time. .

Gu Yue took out a cloak and put it on him: "Asu, did the Supreme give you mooncakes?" Gu Bo said: "Young master, you are blocking my way." Su An pointed forward: "I want to eat mooncakes." Moon cakes, I'm hungry."

"Old Tang Book. Yu Fu Zhi": "Clothes have four systems: ordinary clothes, official clothes, court clothes, and sacrificial clothes." Clothes for watch worship and important events are also called court clothes. Crowns, hairpin guides, crimson gauze singles, white gauze middle singles, black collars, sleeves, black skirts, skirts, skirts, white skirts, jackets, leather belts with gold hooks, False belt, curved collar and square heart, crimson gauze covering the knees, white scorpion, black leather scorpion, sword, fan, bag, double sash, and double ribbon. The sword, sash, and ribbon are removed below the sixth rank, and white pens are used for the seventh rank and above. For hairpins, the eighth and ninth grades remove the white brush, and the white gauze is single in the middle, and the shoe is replaced by a shoe."

The court clothes of the Tang Dynasty, regardless of whether they were first-rank officials or ninth-rank sesame seeds, whether they were ministers or royal officials, whether civil servants or generals, all wore the same crimson gauze single clothes. Accessories are distinguished. Therefore, in various film and television dramas, the use of color to determine the official rank is limited to ordinary office clothes (round neck robes) (purple robe→red robe→green robe)

Thanks to little friend He Wenmo for creating poems for this article. Because the accent in ancient times is different from modern ones, it is difficult to restore Tang poems. I am really grateful. I also saw a little angel leaving a message. I am very happy and very warm.

As for King Shou, I would like to explain here that because he is relatively far away in the ranking and is still relatively young, he was named king for about six or seven years. It will be a while before Concubine Hui chooses a wife for him and gets involved in power struggles. Secondly, Most of the legends about the daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan happened during the Tianbao period, and I will write some, but it is not the main line of this article.
