Li Chengzong said that the little widow gourd asked for himself, this is something to refer to, the current widow king, the emperor has been dishonest, she has been king Li Chengzong's Han State sent spies to test the truth, in a vain attempt to get involved in the Chinese mainland, not long ago Jinyiwei got the solid evidence of the Huang Ji old lady, arrested a few widow spies, and sat on the crime of the widow state, which provided the best excuse for Li Chengzong to commit a black hand on the widow country, how could Li Chengzong not be happy?
As soon as Li Chengzong is happy, he likes to hum a few sentences, yes, this guy is still a music fan, he not only loves to listen, but he can also create his own composition, but he has a quirk, his new songs, until he is tired of listening to it, will be allowed to spread it, if anyone breaks the rules and spreads it in advance, he will be severely punished.
Li Chengzong walked out of the side hall, came to the square in front of the main hall, looked up at the night sky, and remembered that the day before the Shangyuan Festival today, the willows on the moon, the silver light was everywhere, Li Chengzong took Yang Rong, Liu Tao, Pei Fu'er and the three daughters to the palace tower, while admiring the full moon, while looking at the three daughters, couldn't help laughing. Yang Rong looked at it and said angrily: "Ah Wei, you can see that we are all embarrassed." β
Li Chengzong couldn't help laughing and said: "People often say, upstairs to watch the mountains, the city to watch the snow, the lamp to watch the moon, the boat to watch the glow, the moon under the moon, I think the most intriguing is the beauty under the moon." β
Hearing this, Yang Rong and the others were happy in their hearts, as the eldest sister of the three daughters, Yang Rong suggested: "Since Ah Wei has such a Yaxing, why not make a new song, and we can listen to it as soon as possible?" β
Li Chengzong also had this intention, he closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and then ordered someone to bring a pen and paper, and by the light of the full moon, he waved his pen and wrote a book, and after a while, he composed a new song called "Spring Night Moon". When he was done, he put his pen aside and summoned the musicians who had been standing on either side of him to play the song "Spring Night Moon".
To say that Li Chengzong is indeed talented in music, everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this "Spring Night Moon", and they really didn't expect him to be able to make such a breathtaking tune.
At the end of the song, the crowd almost forgot to applaud. When Li Chengzong saw it, he was overjoyed, and it was not until the moon was in the west that Li Chengzong was full of interest, dismissed everyone, and went back to rest.
One day later, it was the Shangyuan Festival, and Li Chengzong's interest was still very high, he changed into civilian clothes, took an attendant, and quietly slipped out of the palace, intending to go to the street to enjoy the lanterns.
The Qindao City of Shangyuan Festival is very lively, with busy traffic and people coming and going. Just as Li Chengzong walked to the most famous "Drunken Immortal Residence" restaurant in the city, a melodious flute suddenly came from upstairs. Li Chengzong stopped, listened carefully, and as soon as he listened to a paragraph, his face changed, he flicked his sleeves, and walked back angrily, and the attendants who followed did not know what to do, so he had to trot all the way behind to catch up.
When he returned to the palace, Li Chengzong didn't even change his clothes, so he called the eunuch and sent a decree to do two things, one was to bring the flute player upstairs of the "Drunken Immortal Residence" to the palace, and the other was to summon the musicians in the palace, and he had something to ask.
Soon, the piper of the "Drunken Immortal Residence" was brought into the palace, and Li Chengzong raised his eyes and saw that this person was a handsome young man. Li Chengzong asked directly: "Where did you get the score of "Spring Night Moon"? β
The young man was really frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "I really don't know the score of "Spring Night Moon". β
Li Chengzong slapped the table heavily and shouted, "What kind of tune are you playing in 'Drunken Immortal Residence', don't you know?" β
Only then did the young man understand what was going on, and he hurriedly kowtowed upwards and told the origin of the song. It turned out that this young man's name was Li Shang, who loved to play the flute since he was a child, and because of his good flute playing, he was called "the flute boy". Last night, he had nothing to do, and happened to turn to the Tianjin Bridge outside the palace, and suddenly there was a burst of music from the palace, and he wanted to write it down, but there was no pen and paper at hand, so he hit the bridge pillar with the sound of music. When the music was over, he returned to his lodgings, took pen and paper, and wrote down the score while striking the columns again.
After listening to this explanation, Li Chengzong sneered: "What a hit pillar song, you can figure it out!" β
Just as Li Chengzong was about to continue the interrogation, a eunuch reported that the musicians had all come and were waiting outside. Li Chengzong waved his hand and ordered them to come in. After the musicians entered the hall, they saw that Li Chengzong's face was full of anger, and no one dared to squeak, and even the musicians who led the team stood with their heads bowed carefully.
Li Chengzong said with a gloomy face: "My new song "Spring Night Moon" composed last night, it was only one night, and it was passed out, which is really annoying!" I ask you, who sent it out? β
After waiting for a long time, no one below admitted it, Li Chengzong's gaze swept over everyone's face and said, "Very good!" The person who played my tune is called Li Shang, and he is kneeling below, and I have said ugly things in front, if I admit it now, it will be fine, otherwise I will interrogate him and he will be severely punished! Again, I ask, who exactly spread the word? β
The musicians stood and shivered, but no one came forward to admit it. Li Shang, who was kneeling on the side, kowtowed again and again, and said: "Your Highness, what the grass people said is not false at all, if Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can verify it on the spot!" β
Li Chengzong sneered a few times, then said what Li Shang had just said, and then asked, "Do you believe such words?" β
The musicians didn't squeak, and the waiter next to them suggested: "Your Highness, let's play two tunes, don't we know if we verify them on the spot?" β
Li Chengzong pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, just according to what you say." β
Li Chengzong instructed the musicians to take their instruments, sit down in a side hall, and then close the door, allowing Li Shang to stand in front of a stone pillar outside the hall. After a while, melodious music came from the side hall, and Li Shang closed his eyes and listened carefully while hitting the stone pillar with his fingers. At the end of the song, he opened his eyes, took the pen and paper from the hand of the waiter next to him, gently hit the stone pillar with one hand, and wrote on the paper with the other hand. After a while, the musician handed Li Chengzong the score recorded by Li Shang, and Li Chengzong saw that there was no error in the score.
However, Lee Seung-jong didn't seem to believe that this was true, and ordered the musicians to play two pieces in succession. Li Shang hit the stone pillar, and then according to the feeling of hitting the stone pillar, he quickly wrote down the score, and there was still no mistake.
At this time, Li Chengzong couldn't help but believe it, he praised and said: "It's really amazing!" If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, but it seems that I was wrong to blame the big guy. After speaking, he put on a smile and asked, "Li Shang, are you willing to come to the palace band?" β
When Li Shang heard this, he was really unexpected, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Highness Longen." β
In this way, Li Shang went from a commoner to a court musician, often accompanying Li Chengzong.
One day not long after, Li Chengzong got drunk, and only through the wine did he tell the truth: it turned out that he had already discovered Li Shang's talent in music, but if he was summoned directly into the palace, it would definitely cause jealousy and dissatisfaction among others, so he thought of a way to let Li Shang show his skills in hitting the pillar, so that everyone could be convinced...
