Verses 387 and 388 Wen's Return to Tang... Mid-Autumn Festival

In the symphony of drums, the inside and outside of the Tanghou Mansion were full of joy. Li Luo personally invited Wen Tianxiang into the flower hall of the middle courtyard to serve tea, and Cui Xiuning also came out to greet him, calling him "Mr. Wenshan".

Cui Xiuning was actually happier than Li Luo. National hero Wen Tianxiang, but she planned to rescue her. But is she proud? No.

"Wen, I've seen the queen." Wen Tianxiang stood up and bowed. As soon as he saw Cui Xiuning's temperament and pomp, he knew that she was the wife of the monarch of Tang Guo.

Cui Xiuning smiled: "Mr. Wenshan is polite. The concubine is not the queen, but the lady of the Tang Kingdom. The king is not king, my Tang is just a small marquis. ”

Wen Tianxiang then remembered that this Tang Jun had indeed not yet been crowned king, but Tang Hou.

He was very emotional. If it were a different person and had this foundation overseas, I guess I wouldn't be able to wait to become the king, right? Even if he doesn't claim to be king, at least he will be called a prince. But this Tang Jun is just a marquis.

This shows that the monarch of the Tang State is well known for his important weapons, has orthodox thoughts, is very self-aware, and knows the opportunity and is pragmatic.

This alone shows its style. This person is definitely not a reckless hero. Tang Guo is not a grass platform team.

Not to mention anything else, just the temperament of Tang Jun and his wife surprised Wen Tianxiang. He has seen many emperors. But the bearing of these two people is the only one he has seen in his life.

This kind of bearing is indescribable, but it feels very different and unusual. Wen Tianxiang has read countless people, but he has not found this temperament in the third person.

At this time, Li Luo changed into a more formal shirt and shirt, and said with a smile: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Mr. Wenshan has to get out of the cage and drive to Haidong, which is really a double happiness." ”

Wen Tianxiang said: "The prince is so courteous, Wen is a relict of the country, and he is really ashamed to survive. ”

Mr. Wenshan said it seriously. Mr. is the pillar of the country, the hero of the Han family, towering and towering. The widow respects Mr. is just to revere the Chinese integrity, which is also the duty. Li Luo said solemnly.

Li Luo immediately ordered to hold a banquet to welcome Wen Tianxiang. He also ordered all the military generals at the brigade commander level, as well as civil officials at the Cao level and above, to come to the Tanghou Mansion to accompany them.

The palace banquet etiquette of the Tang Kingdom, Li Luo had already set the regulations, but he didn't use it once. Today, I used it for the first time.

At the sound of an order, more than 100 people, including female officials, deacons, and cooks from the Tanghou Mansion, all moved to prepare a banquet.

More than 200 musicians and dancers captured from the Japanese Imperial Palace will also come in handy for the first time.

Li Luo treated Wen Tianxiang so politely, of course, not only out of respect for Wen Tianxiang, but also because of Wen Tianxiang's value.

Wen Tianxiang is not only a brilliant literati, he is also an underestimated good looks and good general.

In later generations, many people who did not know Wen Tianxiang well were influenced by Wen Tianxiang's "integrity", thinking that he was more than righteous and lacked military and political talents, which was purely a misunderstanding.

Strategically, Wen Tianxiang resolutely opposed the negotiation of peace, and advocated that the Song court should organize a large-scale civil group training and send ministers to establish Fangzhen, which was actually Zeng Guofan's method of organizing and training the Hunan army.

Moreover, he repeatedly suggested that the Song Dynasty use the advantage of the naval division to restore Jiangsu and Zhejiang across the sea, and blockade the sea areas of Fujian and Zhejiang and the Yangtze River. Then concentrate forces to build a western defensive line.

At that time, the Song Dynasty also occupied Fujian, Jiangxi, Liangguang and Hunan. The sailors are still strong, and this strategy is very operational.

Then, the Song court ignored it all and just bent on peace. Even in order to seek peace, the traitor and traitor Lu Wenhuan's brother was crowned king, and his nephew was appointed as the governor of the political affairs, and Tian shamelessly curryed favor with Lu Wenhuan, hoping that Lu Wenhuan would mediate and reach a peace.

When the Yuan army attacked Changzhou, Wen Tianxiang keenly pointed out that Changzhou was a place that must be saved and must not be lost. However, the Song Dynasty passively resisted the war, and Wen Tianxiang could only lead his weak troops to rescue Changzhou.

It wasn't until after the Song Dynasty was at the end of his rope that he realized that many of Wen Tianxiang's military strategies were right, but it was too late to waste two or three years.

Even Liu Mengyan, who served as the prime minister of Zuo at that time and later surrendered to the Yuan court, said to Kublai Khan that there is no one in the south who is better than Wen Tianxiang. Obviously, it is not Wen Tianxiang's literary talent, but military and political talent.

Therefore, Kublai Khan repeatedly persuaded Wen Tianxiang to surrender, promising that as long as he surrendered, he would be the prime minister.

Actually, just think about it. As a civilian official, Wen Tianxiang raised tens of thousands of troops in just one month, insisted on resisting the war for several years, and suppressed the rebel forces when he was in Jiangxi, and fought guerrilla warfare with the Yuan army. Military talent is not good, it has long been over, how can it last so long?

You must know that his soldiers and horses are militia, not well-equipped regular officers.

In addition to talent, Li Luo values this banner more. Wen Tianxiang was a banner of resistance to the Yuan, especially in the southern provinces. With Wen Tianxiang to serve, once the army is raised, Li Luo will get more talent support.

Li Luo had already made up his mind to accept Wen Tianxiang for his own use. If Wen Tianxiang does not comply, he must not be let out of Haidong.

Li Luo and Wen Tianxiang talked about the history of the late Song Dynasty for a while, and found that Wen Tianxiang's heart was already very peaceful. Obviously, a few years of Chu prisoner career has made him figure it out a lot.

"Da Song, An Neng will not die." Wen Tianxiang sighed and said, "When death is about to happen, I still have a fluke, blindly suppressing loyal ministers and righteous people, begging and doing everything I can, I have no spirit of recovery, and I have just broken my will, just like a woman, and I have lost the morale of the people in the south." ”

Li Luo nodded, "Mr. Wenshan is high-minded, and the widow thinks so." Yes, the Song court cannot be helped. Now that the Song court is dead, it is even more irretrievable. But the Central Plains must not be restored, and the Mongol Tartar cannot be destroyed. ”

"The widow is deliberately planning to immigrate overseas to establish a country, accumulate grain, grass and ordnance, and reorganize the soldiers and horses, in order to one day drive out the Tartars, restore the Central Plains, and open up the prosperous era of the Han family."

"If Mr. Wenshan is only loyal to Zhao Song, then the widow doesn't need to say much. However, if Mr. Ruo is loyal to both Zhao and Song and Huaxia, then I will also ask Mr. to help me and serve for the restoration of the Han family. ”

Li Luo said very directly, Wen Tianxiang is a smart person, and he doesn't need to detour at all. Moreover, he will never agree to serve just because he rescued him from prison, only with righteousness can he be moved.

Sure enough, Wen Tianxiang was not surprised when he heard this, "The heart of Huaxia, Wen will not forget for a moment." The world of one family and one surname, the world of people, which is more important and which is more important, knows which is more important. It is not impossible to change the dynasty, but it is impossible to perish in the world. ”

"Wonderful! What the gentleman said is very true, and the few people are taught. Li Luo bowed, of course he knew this truth, but as a Song person, Wen Tianxiang could come out, it was not easy.

Wen Tianxiang returned the salute, finished. continued: "The heart of the prince is bright, I know it. It's just that Wen still doesn't know what the situation is in the Tang of the Princes. Please allow me to visit for three days, and then reason. ”

Li Luo understood. What he means is, I don't know much about the situation in your Tang Kingdom, please give me three days to find out. I think it's OK, of course it's in. But if you don't think you can't, I'm sorry, you better let me go.

Li Luo was already very satisfied with this answer. Li Luo was very worried about what he said, "Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters". However, Wen Tianxiang didn't mention it, obviously not a pedantic person.

Whether he is completely dead to Zhao Song or not, at least he has agreed halfway.

Li Luo was happy, and thought of a very important thing. While the banquet was not ready now, he wanted to invite Wen Tianxiang to watch the newly built Shijing Pavilion of the Tang Kingdom.

"Mr. Wenshan, I have a collection of unique and unique ancient books in the Tang Shijing Pavilion. The secret of this cabinet is not revealed, but the widow allows Mr. to enter. ”

A one-of-a-kind ancient book?

Wen Tianxiang's eyes lit up suddenly, "Is that really the case?" Then Wen thanked the prince. "As a scholar, it is impossible for Wen Tianxiang not to be interested in a lone ancient book.

Next, Wen Tianxiang followed Li Luo, who was extremely proud in his heart, to the location of the Tang Kingdom Stone Pavilion.

Because those simple books and ancient books are very important, the Shijing Pavilion was built in the Tang Hou Mansion, which was only ten zhang away from the Tang Hou's bedroom, and it was completely part of the inner house.

Shijing Pavilion is not big, only a three-zhang square bluestone house, and a small pond is dug next to it, and there are more than a dozen wooden barrels filled with clean water lined up by the pond.

According to the management regulations of the Stone Pavilion, outside the Stone Pavilion, eighteen wooden barrels filled with water must be prepared at every moment.

There were four people guarding the door, guarding the Stone Pavilion.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Li Luo, the four Jing Pavilion guards saluted together.

Li Luo took out a bunch of keys, opened the door himself, and invited Wen Tianxiang to enter. And one of the guards in charge of the guard said loudly according to the regulations: "Remember! On the fifteenth day of August in the second year of the Tang Dynasty, the king personally led people into the Shijing Pavilion! ”

Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, was he so strict? What kind of solitary book is it? Is it worth taking it so seriously?

When I entered the Stone Pavilion, I found that there was a round stone table and several original stone benches in the middle. And around, there are dozens of stone lattices.

Each lattice is the size of a suitcase, and is surrounded by sand, and inside the sand is a layer of charcoal powder, and inside the charcoal powder is a layer of dry leaves, which seem to be camphor leaves.

Wen Tianxiang knew that this was of course a measure to prevent fire, moisture and insects.

Above the stone grid, there are Chinese characters in seal style. Wen Tianxiang looked at it at a glance and immediately showed a look of disbelief.

He naturally knew the seal characters on these stone grids. But the meaning of these words could not be calmed down.

It turned out to be dozens of kinds such as "Yu Xia Book", "Three Tombs and Five Classics", "Eight Suo and Nine Hills", "Han Zhu", "Book of Books", "Yellow Emperor Outer Classics" and so on.

Each of them is an ancient book that has either been lost or mutilated in China! Several of these names exist only in the book.

Wen Tianxiang took a deep breath, and touched the stone grid with the "Book of Books" written with a little trembling, his eyes lit up a little abnormally, and he looked back at Li Luo with anticipation, "This... Really? ”

Li Luo nodded solemnly and forcefully, "The whole book of Shangshu is inside." ”

Then, Li Luo took out a key engraved with "Book of Books" from a large number of keys and opened it carefully.

As soon as the stone grid was opened, the first thing I saw was a cowhide bag inside, and when I opened the cowhide bag, it was a bamboo tube. Each bamboo tube is marked with a number.

Li Luo picked up a bamboo tube marked one, unscrewed the lid, gently took out a roll of bamboo slips, smiled and held it with both hands and handed it to Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang took it with both hands, carefully opened the simple book, and slowly, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"It's true! It's Shangshu! It's an ancient book! Your Majesty, this should be a real scripture, not a forgery, not a forgery! Wen Tianxiang's face was full of tears, but he looked ecstatic, and he no longer had the slightest demeanor, and even the title of Li Luo unconsciously changed from a prince to a king.

Wen Tianxiang is a great Confucian in the world, and he is a Wenzong in the sea. And the Shuo Confucians of the Song and Ming dynasties did not study the ancient characters of Jinshi. If you don't have the foundation of gold and stone, you are not a real Confucian. Therefore, most of the words on the ancient Jane can be interpreted by Wen Tianxiang.

When the other stone grids were opened one by one, Wen Tianxiang was even more excited and couldn't help himself.

"Yu Xia Book! There really is such a book! ”

"梼杌"! The eight hundred years of the Chu State are all in it! ”

""The Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics", I didn't expect there to be this book!"

……

"Unexpectedly, most of the source of Huaxia is in this small stone pavilion!" Wen Tianxiang carefully rolled up the "Book of Luban", "Dare to ask your lord, where did these priceless treasures come from?" ”

Li Luo roughly told him about the process of getting the Jianshu, Wen Tianxiang was very emotional when he heard it, and said in a loud voice: "Providence!" Providence! Providence! Unexpectedly, the great unification of China, the luck of the Heavenly Dao, is actually in the body of the king! ”

Li Luo is very proud, isn't it providence? These precious books, because of several fires in Ise Jingu, were also not preserved in Japan, causing irreversible loss of civilization. Now that Li Luo has taken it back and copied a copy, it can be re-published and passed down for generations.

Suddenly, Wen Tianxiang tidied up his clothes, bowed solemnly and said, "Minister Wen Tianxiang, I've seen the king!" ”

Originally, he also wanted to spend three days to get to know Tang Guo well, and he was deciding whether to take effect. But after reading these brief books, there is no need to do more.

"Mr. Wenshan, please get up!" Li Luo happily stopped Wen Tianxiang from paying homage, "Mr. Widow, Xiao He is Han Gao, and Zhao Lie is Wu Hou!" ”

Wen Tianxiang said solemnly: "Chen An dares to compare with Xiao He Wuhou!" I am only willing to do my best for the king, do my best, and restore the Central Plains! ”

Li Luo laughed and said, "Okay, good! It is said that Mr. Wenshan is only loyal to Zhao Song, but he doesn't want to be so deeply aware of righteousness, elegant and elegant, Mr. returns to Tang, and the widow is worry-free! ”

Wen Tianxiang also said a rare good word: "The ministers and the monarch, there is the style of Taizong, and it is really Xiao Zuhu!" ”

After a few polite words between the two, Wen Tianxiang asked a question of concern, "Your Majesty, can you copy these ancient slips?" ”

Li Luo nodded: "Sir, don't worry, the copy has been copied, but it has not been published." ”

Wen Tianxiang said: "The king sees it clearly, but it is really inconvenient to circulate it at the moment. Danchen suggested that 10,000 copies should be printed first and stored for later use. Once the army is sent to the Central Plains, it will be issued to the world in the name of my Tang Dynasty, and it will be passed on to Shilin. Then the corporal of the world will not return to the heart. ”

"Sir's words, the widow deeply agreed. Then, according to Mr.'s opinion, 10,000 copies will be printed for later use. Li Luo felt that what Wen Tianxiang said was very reasonable, and immediately agreed.

The two left the Shijing Pavilion and returned to the flower hall, and Cui Xiuning rumored that the wine banquet was ready for singing and dancing, and asked Li Luo to order the banquet.

"Let's have a feast!"

With an order, the main hall, which is usually used as a court hall, immediately became a temporary palace banquet place. There is no way, the small country of Tang was founded, and Li Luo did not build his own palace in a big way.

One by one, the wine cases were moved to the main hall of the court, and the wine and food were sent up like water, but they were all seafood-based.

As the civil and military officials came to participate in the banquet, the hall was suddenly full of joy, musicians and dancers also entered, and Huang Zhong Dalu also played.

These musical instruments were all stolen by Li Luo from the Imperial Palace of Japan. Even the musicians and dancers are all Japanese.

This group of musicians and dancers from Heiankyo has almost completely inherited five of the eight works of the Tang Palace, including Yale, Yanle, and Qingle in the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Japan was greatly influenced by the Sui and Tang dynasties, and many things were almost directly used. It was not until the Warring States period that the Japanese developed their own culture and gradually abandoned the old system of the Tang Dynasty.

In other words, there is a great cultural difference between the current Japan and the Japan of the Warring States period. If the Japanese at this time can be regarded as a pirated version of the Little Tang Dynasty, then the future generations will be the real Japanese Kingdom.

Eight Tang music, now the Central Plains has been lost. In the whole of East Asia, only Japan is the most intact, followed by Goryeo. After Li Luo captured Kyoto, most of these musicians and dancers were captured and brought back to Haidong, providing conditions for Li Luo to restore Tang music.

Li Luo's restoration of Tang music, of course, is not only for the feelings of the Tang Dynasty, but more importantly, Tang music is indeed the highest peak of Chinese classical music.

Wen Tianxiang sat in the most distinguished seat on the right, and when he heard the sound of the bell chime before the banquet, he felt that it was not Song Le, nor was it Yuan Le. Could it be Tang Le?

At this time, all the civil and military personnel who were qualified to participate in the banquet arrived, and more than 100 people sat together. Li Luo sat in the main seat, and Taigong Yan Duo and Cui Xiuning sat on the side next to Li Luo.

After seeing Li Luo and his wife, the civil and military officials all came together to greet Wen Tianxiang, especially Lin Biju and other scholars who were born in Xiucai, and they were extremely respectful to Wen Tianxiang.

No way, who called Wen Tianxiang so famous? Now that such a person is in front of them, how can they be calm?

After learning that Wen Tianxiang had agreed to serve the Tang State, Lin Biju's first reaction was that he should give up the position of Shangqing to Wen Tianxiang. With Wen Tianxiang here, what qualifications does he have to be the head of civil officials? Even if others don't speak, he can't bear the pressure on himself.

After the wine and food were served, Li Luo picked up the wine glass and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Zhuqing, Mr. Wenshan returned to Tang today, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the widow is very happy. This first cup of wine, on behalf of more than 700,000 subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and on behalf of the people of the Central Plains who are still suffering, respect Mr. Wenshan! ”

After Li Luo finished speaking, he raised his neck and drank the cup.

Wen Tianxiang hurriedly stood up, "Your Excellency said this, and the ministers are ashamed and terrified. After speaking, he drank all the wine in his glass.

Li Luo gave Yan Duo another glass of wine, said a few words of "I Tang can have today, thanks to the service of Zhuqing", and after drinking the wine of Baiguan, he ordered Jule to start the banquet.

The music in the main hall changed, and the first music and dance began.

Chimes, jade chimes, gonghou, pipa, qinse, erhu, xiao flute, hu and other musical instruments played together, and the whole hall was suddenly immersed in the magnificent artistic conception.

Sixty-four dancing girls danced on the stage, wearing purple wide-sleeved skirts, wearing leather shoes in a bun, covering their faces with white gauze, each holding a pipa, and dancing to the music, which was a song "Qingshan Le".

"Qingshanle" was created by Taizong Li Shimin, and it was the most commonly used palace banquet music and dance in the Tang Dynasty. It is not only magnificent, but also elegant and gorgeous, symbolizing the harmony of civil and military, and the prosperity of Chang'an.

This song and this dance, the Central Plains has been lost. Where has Tang Guowenwu seen this? Suddenly they all stopped to watch, amazed, and forgot to drink and eat.

It's really Tang Le! Wen Tianxiang finally determined that this must be Tang Le. He is no stranger to palace music, and he also attended the palace banquet of Lin'an Song Palace many times to watch Song music.

In all fairness, the Song music has an elegant tune and a graceful dance, but it is by no means as gorgeous and magnificent as the Tang music in front of him, and the dance posture is dazzling.

Only, which song is this? "Da Dingle"? "Celebration of Kindness"? Or "Jing Yunle"? But it must not be "Breaking the Array".

Soon, the rhythm of the music changed rapidly, and the sixty-four dancers left the stage with the pipa in their arms. It didn't take long for one hundred and forty young women to enter the field, dressed in colorful mountain armor and holding wooden halberds, with strong and powerful postures, but their postures were never the same.

"Hey!"

"Duh!"

"Phew!"

The dancers are dancing with their spears and their voices clear, heroic, playful and cute.

At the same time, the music is more and more vigorous and sonorous, the pipa is as urgent as a splash bead, the bells and drums are like a battlefield, accompanied by the crisp shouts of the dancers, the momentum is magnificent, the atmosphere is tense, people can't help but feel emotional, and they want to shoot the case.

This is the "Dading Music" created by Tang Gaozong, which symbolizes the martial arts of pacifying Goguryeo, and is the only music and dance of "Qin King Breaking Array Music" among the many "martial music" in the Tang Dynasty.

Great! Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but nod, he couldn't imagine that Tang Guo was now just a small marquis, and there was such a song and dance. This is the song and dance that the Han family should have.

It's a pity that Wen Tianxiang's most anticipated "King Qin's Breaking Array Music" was not staged in the end. Because, the dancers of "King Qin's Breaking Array" are all men, and the number of them is extremely large, and the scenes required are also larger. Such a song and dance cannot be choreographed in the short term.

After a few songs, everyone was still immersed in the music, and Li Luo stood up again and said: "Mr. Wenshan returns to the Tang Dynasty, of course the widow has to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and I hope that Mr. Wenshan will not shirk." ”

As soon as Li Luo's words fell, Lin Biju left the table and said: "Your Excellency, Weichen is shallow and weak, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be qualified for the post of Shangqing, I hereby ask for your resignation, and I sincerely ask for your grace!" ”

Shangqing? Is this the prime minister of the Tang Kingdom? The name is very quaint. Only then did Wen Tianxiang know that Tang Guo still had the post of secretary.

Wen Tianxiang also stood up, "The king is elevated, don't think that the minister is despicable and useless, and the minister dares to disobey his orders." ”

Li Luo looked at Lin Biju and said with a smile: "Lin Qing has contributed to the country, his political achievements are outstanding, and the widow is satisfied." This resignation from the post of secretary is not necessary, and the widow does not allow it, and this matter cannot be mentioned again. ”

Lin Biju is a very practical talent, his ability has also improved greatly, and his achievements are obvious to all, of course Li Luo will not remove him. Moreover, he is extremely familiar with the Tang system and is the most suitable prime minister today.

Lin Biju raised his voice and said, "Minister... Thank you! ”

Li Luo said again: "Mr. Wenshan, the widow is preparing to set up a military division office, which is responsible for the general strategy of military aircraft, military preparation, logistics transfer, and martial education. The military division's mansion has four captains. Please ask Mr. Wenshan to be the first lieutenant of the Military Division's Office, and the position is the same as above! ”

Captain of the Military Division's Mansion!

Wen Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Minister Wen Tianxiang, thank you!" ”
