In the late spring of March, the sky and the earth change color, and everything is new.

A month ago, Li Tong returned to the mansion for a short rest of two days to deal with some accumulated human affairs, and then he was recalled to the Yazhong to prepare for the Shangsi Festival with the rest of the two yas.

A few days ago, the court had already announced that all officials and their dependents above the fifth grade in Beijing would participate in the grand event of the Shangsi Festival to cleanse and eliminate filth, wet the old and welcome the new.

This activity has gradually become customized since the second year of Tianzhi. It is nothing more than the expansion of the scale of the team building to the families of hundreds of officials, so that the women in the boudoir can feel the new atmosphere of the new dynasty, and the supervision advises all husbands and husbands to cherish the beautiful life in front of them and don't toss blindly.

Li Tong's family has been squatting in Qianling in Guanzhong for three years, so naturally they are not qualified to participate in the event, but they will not miss it again this year.

The festival was held at the Shintoen Garden on the west side of Ouchi. Although there are as many as hundreds of people above the five grades in Beijing, the area of Shendu Garden is dozens of miles longitudinal and horizontal, and it is more than enough to settle it after two dynasties.

When Gui Ya received the duty task, Li Tong really felt that their Zuo Qianniuwei was really a good person.

In this grand event, the main duty task is the left and right Yulin Army, and the other guards are also more or less light, the left and right guards are responsible for the palaces in the garden, Jin Wuwei is responsible for guiding, and the prison guards are guarding the palace gates. And when Qianniuwei's task was issued to the government, the notice was written on the song!

Yes, this time, Qianniuwei was in a wave with all the musicians of Yunshao Mansion, and he did not participate in the guards, but was responsible for the performance, and the repertoire of the performance was also sent to the yazhong at the same time. Among them, there is the dance "Eagle Release" rehearsed with Jin Wuwei, and the garden pond song "Manting Spring" performed by Zhu Beishen.

The eagle music is also upside down, it belongs to a kind of halo book music, which is mostly used for autumn and winter hunting and soldiers' expeditions, and has a strong sense of ceremony.

But the song "Manting Spring" makes people feel inexplicably shy, the singer wears a brocade hairpin, a green cloak, and a green hood, and is dressed up in a dance robe, which is red and bright, which is very eye-catching.

For such an activity, Li Tong subconsciously rejected it, and pushed it to Zhonglang General Li Lingwen on the spot, and asked him to lead the thousands of cattle to practice in front of the yatang every day, which was red and dazzling.

However, when the third piece of music was sent to the yatang, Li Tong suddenly felt that he might as well sing with the little green hats with all the preparations. The music of this piece is called "Ascending Immortal Music", but if you want to describe it more accurately, it can also be called "Ascending Immortal Prince Music".

The reason why I say this is because this piece of music tells the story of the prince of the Zhou Dynasty, Jin Controlling the Crane and ascending to the immortal. Originally, in history, Wu Zetian canonized Prince Jin as the prince of ascending immortals, and the famous "Tablet of Ascending Immortals" in later generations was derived from this.

The ascension of the immortal prince was an important political image created during the Wu Zhou period, especially in the middle and late Wu Zhou period. Prior to this, although the story of the prince's promotion to immortal was also circulated, it was not until the Wu Zhou period that it received large-scale official publicity and was endowed with extremely profound political significance.

Of course, the reason why the ruler chose him to create and render is also because of the complexity of the prince's life history. In real history, he was the crown prince of King Zhou Ling, and was deposed for disobeying his father. According to folklore, he died young, and the king of Zhou was grief-stricken. In the myth of the Immortal Road, he controlled the crane to ascend to the immortal and lived high in Songshan Mountain.

Wu Zetian's Wu Zhou, in terms of legal system, was originally moving closer to the pre-Qin and Zhou dynasties, and various retro etiquette rules. From this point of view, the Ascending Immortal Prince can be counted as their pre-Zhou lineage. But in reality, whether it is the filial piety emperor Li Hong, who died young, or the abolished prince Li Xian, who was banished, there are quite similarities with the life experience of Prince Jin.

In a higher level of Taoist ideology, the image of Wang Zijin represents detachment and bliss. Shaping this image into a full-fledged one, so that Wu Zetian can embrace the beliefs of Taoists while worshipping Buddha, and at the same time meet her own needs for immortal immortality.

It can be said that the image of the ascending immortal prince, whether in the ideology of the upper echelons or in the actual political situation, can reach a compromise balance. In the late Wu Zhou period, the head of the body controlled the crane supervisor, which was also derived from this. And Wu Sansi and others, in order to avoid this image from moving too much closer to the Li Tang royal family, even attached Zhang Changzong as the incarnation of Prince Jin.

Even after the Shenlong Revolution, in order to digest the remnants of Wuzhou, he did not give up the political symbol of the prince of ascending immortals, but continued to quote it. Especially after Li Dan returned to the throne, a new member was added to the group of the ascending immortal prince, that is, Li Chongjun, the prince of Jiechou who launched a coup d'état and killed Wu Sansi's father and son but was wiped out in Xuanwu Gate.

Li Tong knew about this "Dengxian Music", and after looking at it a little, he realized that the score itself was a large excerpt of the longevity music he had previously presented. Because of his filial piety this year, and after fasting, he was busy a lot, and the original longevity music could not be staged, but he didn't expect it to be transformed into a "Dengxian Music".

Compared with the old music, the biggest change in the new music is the addition of a dancer in a feather coat and a crane, and it is specified that Li Tong will play it, and even the relevant performance props are sent.

Seeing the feather weaving, colorful feather coats in the cage, and the beautifully carved wooden cranes that are ready to fly, Li Tong's heart is full of "beep"!

Wearing colorful clothes and singing and dancing in court, Li Tong did not contradict this. Gu Xiao also has Lao Lai Banyi, drama and entertainment, and performs on stage, which can be regarded as filial piety for his two fathers.

But the problem is that this doesn't mean right, their two fathers are already two ascended immortal princes, so maybe he is the third! Having said that, their Li Tang family, this Ascending Immortal Prince, is really endless. But no matter how much it is, Li Tong doesn't want to join it!

Recently, Li Tong has always had a feeling that due to the emergence of such a variable as him in the current situation, the trend of the world has become very different. And as his variable has an increasing influence on the current situation, this trend is becoming more and more obvious.

Even if not to mention the change of the fate of some small people, the originally scattered Jiangnan scholars have gradually developed a trend of their own under his influence. And his fourth uncle Li Dan should have ushered in the most dangerous crisis in his life in January.

But now, although the two concubines have died, the crisis has not really been added to Li Dan himself, and the related cases are also in a state of delayed eruption.

So much so that Li Tong didn't dare to rely on his prophet anymore, but relied on the current information to make some predictions. At present, compared with these figures, his advantage in information is incalculable, and he is also at a loss about the future situation.

Therefore, at the moment, Li Tong also has a sense of urgency, and he is not even sure whether the Shenlong Revolution will break out in advance, and who will lead it.

Previously, his aunt, Princess Taiping, introduced Doulu Zhensong, which had already made him vigilant. Now that the political symbol of the Ascension Immortal Prince has been applied in advance, and it has a direct connection with him, which makes him even more worried.

The Prophet's context is no longer reliable, and he knows exactly that once the conflict erupts, it will be a series of brutal coups, and this half-understanding is really torturous.

In January, King Wei and King Liang replaced the imperial heir. Now on the first day of March, there is another prince who has ascended to the immortal. With such frequent reinforcement of political symbols, Li Tong can confirm that his grandmother is playing with fire.

Of course, Wu Zetian has rarely had a moment of stability in his life. Although history has proven that she was a well-deserved king of power struggles during this period.

But now with Li Tong's variable, he is really not sure if his grandmother can climb mountain after mountain like in the original history, and buy him enough time to grow stronger.

No matter how different the trend has been, for Li Tong at the moment, his biggest protector is still his grandmother, based on the protection of his grandmother's wings, as quickly as possible to strengthen his own strength, so as to grasp the greater initiative, this is his only way out.

So although he was quite resistant in his heart, he still had to accept this reality, replace the original Zhang Changzong, put on a feather coat, and control the crane to dance.

At the same time, he also had a little regret in his heart, he knew that the situation would enter such an unpredictable state so soon, and he should not have refused Yang Zhirou's overtures at that time. Hongnong Yang's Kansai clan, maintaining a harmonious relationship can give more help, and it can be more stable in the next shock.

As for whether to do it or not, whether you have feelings or not, you can't save your life, whatever!

Of course, this chagrin is just a boring reverie, if he really confirmed the marriage with Hongnong Yang at that time, a series of subsequent changes may not happen, at least his grandmother will not have such a strong support for him. And now, this support seems too much, and it is too high.

No matter how Li Tong felt in his heart, the preparations for the Shangsi Day celebration were still in full swing.

In the Qianniu Wei Mansion, Zhu Bei learned that His Royal Highness the Acting King was going to take the stage on the day of Shangsi to present the Immortal Prince Jin, and they all cheered on the stage.

Whenever Li Tong put on that colorful feather coat in the shooting hall, hung a wooden crane on his waist, and danced and rehearsed, the surroundings were full of green things, constantly clapping and applauding, Li Tong was shy, but also couldn't help but sigh, what kind of prince to ascend to immortals, isn't the Wizard of Oz bad?

The only thing he is glad about now is that the current prince Jin has not been sublimated at the political level, and he is not yet the prince of the ascending immortals.

If this image continues to be strengthened in the future, his own momentum will grow day by day, but he will not fall directly into the air, and there is still room for struggle. But even so, he is more vigilant about his own safety.

On the first day of the first month of March, all the families in Beijing began to enter the Shendu Garden one after another. Although Qianniuwei does not directly participate in the Shendu Yuan's guards, Li Tong, as the general of Qianniuwei, still has to take turns with other generals to stay in the Dragon Scale Palace in the Shendu Garden. Of course, the holy car will not come to the Shendu Garden until the day of the Shangsi Festival.

When entering and leaving the Shendu Garden, Li Tong had already asked Yang Siqiao, who was carrying him, to replace the ritual knife with a real knife, if something really happened, he would not use a wooden stick to poke people to protect himself in a hurry.

Before the Holy Driver entered, if the Yulin Army was so strict that they even searched for this point, then what would they do in there, which showed that they were already holding back their strength to get him, and they would have to run away if they didn't rebel.
