0048 Inner Teaching Workshop Matters
The layout of the inner teaching workshop, like Renzhiyuan, is an independent courtyard, and the scale is much larger.
This is also normal, since the name is a fang, there is naturally a place worthy of the name. Although it is impossible to really be as large as Liangdu Lifang due to the prohibition, as a place for the daily life and work of the palace households, the necessary supporting facilities must also be readily available.
Knowing the arrival of the two kings, the supervisor of the inner teaching workshop also hurriedly came out to greet him, but he was a middle-aged eunuch in his forties, with a white face and a loose skin.
The official rank system of the Tang Dynasty was very large, and around the palace there were six bureaus of the palace in the palace, the province of the inner servants, and the palace and so on, and the official positions and institutions looked chaotic. But in fact, it is also very easy to distinguish that the palace province mainly serves the emperor himself, and also has some attributes of the outer court, and is mainly held by scholars.
The Inner Servant Province and the Sixth Bureau of the Shanggong are mainly active in the ban, of which the Inner Servant Province is mainly held by eunuchs to hold official positions and manage affairs, and the Sixth Bureau of the Shanggong is a female official, with two sets of teams for men and women. A few years ago, the Ministry of Internal Service was renamed Sigongtai.
As for the official position of this eunuch Yang Xu, it is also very interesting, the matter in the palace is already from the fifth rank, which already belongs to the middle-level cadres who serve the scarlet and can shadow the son in the outer court.
At present, the Inner Teaching Workshop has not yet been judged independently, and it is still managed by the Taichang Temple, which is in charge of the rites and music, so the officials of the Inner Teaching Workshop generally have to hang up a part-time job at the Taichang Temple. Therefore, when this Yang Xu introduced himself, there was also the warden of the Taile Department under Taichang Temple. Of course, in the first year of the light house, when the military queen was in charge of the country, Taichang Temple was also renamed Sili Temple.
However, compared to the internal work from the five grades, the warden of the Taile Department is just a subordinate of the five grades outside the stream, and he is not a position that does not enter the stream.
It can be seen that the outer court is so arrogant in the face of the inner court, what about the internal affairs, what kind of scarlet robe to wear, you also deserve it! It is completely different from the arrogance and domineering of the eunuch dictatorship after the Tang Dynasty.
Li Tong is not very interested in this eunuch Yang Xu, even if you are called Gao Yanfu and have an adopted son named Gao Lishi, you will look at you twice. However, he also understands that although the forbidden middle school is the center of power in the Tang Dynasty, treasure boys like Zhong Shaojing are not everywhere.
Under the guidance of this eunuch, Li Tong and Li Shouli walked into the inner teaching workshop.
The inner teaching workshop is called the fang, and the pattern of the inner and middle schools is generally in accordance with the square city in the city, the square road is crossed, and the houses are distributed like a chessboard. Li Tong came to this world, and he has not been able to leave the forbidden middle school, and naturally he has no way to appreciate the style of Luoyang Fang City.
Under his inquiry, the eunuch Yang Xu also casually told about the personnel layout in the workshop.
There are hundreds of musicians in the inner teaching workshop, which are divided into the registered musicians and the musicians, the musicians on the fan belong to the musicians under the jurisdiction of the Sili Temple, and they are not purely palace people, eunuchs, and they have to leave the forbidden middle school after the end of the period, and live outside. And the dancers and musicians need to stay in confinement for a long time until they die of old age or be released from grace.
The northeast of the square is the pavilion where the management organization and the bell chime music is placed, and the northwest is where the dancers rehearse and practice, and at this moment all kinds of silk and bamboo drum music are coming from here, mixed with the singing of the singers, it can be seen that the rehearsal of all kinds of big songs is in full swing.
The Southwest Fang District is a residential area where some small tunes are rehearsed, including fish and dragon operas. The southeast square area is the area where the music household is located, and there are also officials stationed in the Taile Department, such as Xielulang, who are equivalent to this sound cover.
Li Tong came here in the name of selecting some musicians to renovate a few old songs. When the eunuch Yang Xu asked if there was a familiar and desirable musician, he had a faint sense of shame that the newcomers in the party did not have a good wind and moon phase, and he didn't want to show his timidity, so he casually said the name of Mi Baizhu. Except for this one, he really didn't know the rest of the Inner Sect.
The eunuch Yang Xu first apologized, saying that the workshop was rehearsing the great music used in the ceremony, and the many people used may not be able to successfully find people, and then invited the two kings into the northeast pavilion to sit temporarily, and then ordered the servants to hurry to visit Mi Baizhu.
After about a quarter of an hour, the bearded rice Baizhu hurriedly walked in, and after seeing the second king, he hurriedly stepped forward to bow and apologize: "The party is in a hurry, and I hope that the king will not be guilty." ”
"It's just a trivial matter, since you have returned to the workshop, can you rehearse any new songs?"
Li Tong asked lightly with the attitude of a happy veteran.
"When you enter the workshop, you will return to the house, and it has not been useful."
Hearing Mi Baizhu's answer, Li Tong's face suddenly stiffened, I only know your old boy, and you came by name, but you didn't give me a long face, and everyone else was rehearsing, but you went back and sat on the cold bench!
Seeing this, Yang Xu, the eunuch standing on one side, stepped forward and said with a smile: "If the king renovates the song, there is still an external assistant in Fangnan who can distinguish the sounds, and it can be used with the introduction." ”
Hearing this, Li Tong's face turned even darker, showing your sharp eyes, right? It's already embarrassing, and you still laugh at my unclassy old friend? I don't need it!
"The sound is overturned, and the entertainment is enough, so there is no need to disturb a lot."
He waved his hand lightly, and Li Shouli next to him also nodded and said: "Mibutou drum skills are quite good, and the rest don't know the advantages and disadvantages, so they don't need to be called." ”
If you can't speak, you don't open your mouth less, and you don't see Mi Baizhu's old face is red!
Mi Baizhu was very grateful to the king for his promotion, and he chased him to the inner teaching workshop without seeing him for a day, but in front of the supervisor of the teaching workshop, it was still not good to brag about how good his skills were, and he stepped forward and said: "Thank you for your humble position, but it is difficult to make the whole song alone, please recommend a few more voices for the king to be replaced." ”
Li Tong raised his hand to hold down Li Shouli, who was about to speak, and nodded to Mi Baizhu in agreement.
Mi Baizhu pointed out a few names to Yang Xu on the side, and the eunuch suddenly looked a little embarrassed, but looking at the two kings sitting in the hall, he still nodded reluctantly, and sent someone to summon the few people that Mi Baizhu ordered.
This time it took a little longer, almost half an hour passed, and the summons arrived one after another. Of course, Li Tong and the others were not waiting, and the eunuch Yang Xu ordered someone to get some music scores for the two kings to pick.
But seeing the book-like music score that day, Li Tong couldn't help but feel that this eunuch seemed to be embarrassing him, if I can understand it, what is the use of the country raising you?
However, in addition to these scores, Li Tong still found some useful things, such as some case study materials in the inner teaching workshop, the description of musical instrument music theory, the analysis of the palace merchant position, etc., because the musicians are generally not highly educated, so these music theories are also easy to understand.
Li Tong raised his hand and picked up a roll of drum drums, and casually showed some doorways, some skills were not even mentioned when Mi Baizhu taught him to play drums before, so he secretly poked and poked the fox in his heart, this old boy is clumsy and hides his skill, I am afraid that he is not looking at his outstanding talent, and he will learn it, and he wants to eat for a few more days, right?
Mi Baizhu didn't know that this sunny and handsome king was so dark in his heart, so he only lowered his head and sighed on the side: "It's a pity that the servants are stupid and can't be taught, and they can't read words, otherwise they can read all the music books and learn more wonderful music skills, and they can also be good to the king." ”
"You can't read?"
Li Tong was surprised when he heard this, and he was not rude when he heard this person's conversation, so he inevitably glanced at him, but he didn't expect to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail with him.
Mi Baizhu smiled bitterly and explained slightly, he only belonged to the Lehu family of Sili Temple, and the music skills he learned were only passed on by word of mouth from his parents. As for the palace, although there are pavilions and internal literature museums to teach the culture of the palace people, they do not include these lowly musicians, so they are born to only engage in these superficial and humble skills, and their future is bleak.
When Li Tong heard Mi Baizhu's explanation, he was also a little sympathetic in his heart, compared with these humble people who had no future for generations, he was also lucky. Meeting is fate, Lao Mi, you will mix with me in the future, you have to get me to get me, understand?
When he learned that there were four or five boys and girls in Mi Baizhu's family, Li Tong was even more happy, ready to serve this nest, and told Mi Baizhu that if he had the opportunity, he could introduce a few children to him. Of course, the daughter is okay to say, if the son wants to study in the Inner Literature Museum, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep the little finch.
With this level of gratitude, Li Tong does not shy away from outsiders. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have to go out of the door, lying on the bed and pretending to be dead.
Seeing that a lowly musician in Mi Baizhu District could actually win the favor of the two kings, there were questions and answers, and Yang Xu, who was standing next to him, also showed a little envy on his face. He is from within the five grades, and he should be a palace official of the queen as a rule, but since he took office, he has not seen the queen even once.
It's useless to be envious, an old eunuch with loose skin and flesh has no value in cultivation, if he really wants to bring out any children, Li Tong has to stay away from it, and he can't afford to provoke him.
At the time of the answer, several musicians had already arrived, and Li Tong remembered that Mi Baizhu had named five people, but only three came. A bearded man, also a Hu person named Kang Duobao, a woman in her early thirties named Pan Sanniang, and another orchid named Mi Daman, is actually Mi Baizhu's eldest daughter.
Li Tong looked at Mi Baizhu's rough appearance, and then looked at his daughter's shy, timid, and delicate appearance, and his mood couldn't help but be a little messy, Lao Mi, don't you go home and ask your daughter-in-law if there is anything wrong?
Probably yes, parents who have a little love for their children can give this name? It's nothing, it's a full size, it's a good thing. But Mi Da Mang sounds so good, so reckless that you are afraid!
But when he thought of the nicknames of the three brothers, Li Tong was silent again.
The three of them each stepped forward to show themselves, Hu Ren Kang Duobao is good at drums and Hu Ji, and is a head of the "Yan Le" department.
Hearing this introduction, Li Tong glanced at Mi Baizhu, who was frowning, and knew that he had seen a master, "Yan Le" was the first of the ten music, and those who could serve as the head of it could be compared to Mi Baizhu.
The woman Pan Sanniang is good at pipa and erection gonghou, and was once a member of the sitting department, able to sit in the hall and perform, but was eliminated because of old age and decay, but her musical skills are more proficient.
As for Orchid Mi Daman, he is a kabuki and is the best at Hu Xuan dancing. Looking at the nose and blue eyes, delicate and small facial features, and exquisite waist, you can also imagine what kind of enchanting picture it should be when it dances. This orchid is better than her father, and is the head of a kabuki, that is, the lead dancer.
Li Tong wants to renovate the song, the dancing girl is useless, she only turns a blind eye to the orchid's flowing discharge eyes, of course, it is not good to flirt with her father's eyes, even if her father is willing, this name is too dramatic.
The pipa is a big instrument of Yan music, and Li Tong first asked Pan Sanniang to try out a few songs, listen to the melody, find inspiration, and see if there are any poems to copy. The love between literati and artists cannot be called stealing, the key is to sprinkle beautiful poems all over the world, and love is boundless.
