Chapter 253: Breaking the Formation Song

"Too happy to make Lu Cai ......"

Flipping through the post, Han Rui was a little surprised, just nodding his head, Lu Cai found that he had something to do, and he was strange in his heart, but he didn't slack off, and hurriedly went out to greet him.

Outside the door, Lu Cai, who was dressed in white like snow, had a graceful demeanor, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and saluted: "I came rashly, but it was rude, I hope Han Gongzi will not be surprised." ”

"It is rare for Mr. Lu to come to the Humble House, and he will only feel that it is too late to welcome him, so there is no reason to be surprised." Han Rui smiled and hurriedly welcomed the person into the living room.

After serving the wine and greeting politely for a while, Lu Cai didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I came here today, but I want to ask Han Gongzi for help." ”

Help, what's the matter, he hesitated in his heart, Han Rui smiled: "Mr. Lu has something, and the order is that as long as he can do it, how can the kid excuse himself." ”

Lu Cai sold a pass, and asked with a smile: "King Qin, what does Han Gongzi think?" ”

Although he was a little puzzled in his heart, Han Rui still replied honestly: "When I was fortunate to witness it at the Ligong meeting, I only felt that it was majestic and moving, but unfortunately it was only a fragment of it, which made people still unsatisfied, and I couldn't wait to see the whole picture." ”

"Huh." Lu Cai smiled happily, he himself was one of the choreographers of this large and magnificent royal dance music, and he was still a little happy to be affirmed and praised by others, but he didn't forget the business, and smiled mysteriously: "So, if Han Gongzi is free, accompany me to Taichang Temple now, maybe you can get your wish." ”

Well, after glancing at Lu Cai, Han Rui smiled and said, "If you want it in your heart, how can you refuse." ”

Please wait a while, Han Rui went back to the room to change clothes, put on a light coat, and then said hello to Zheng Nao and others, and went out.

Taichang Temple, in charge of the court ceremonial music, said important and not very powerful, said not important and can not be ignored, put hundreds of years ago, the court system of government or the three public and nine Qing system, from the word Xiangqing, you can know how much power Taichang Temple has, but unfortunately now it is three provinces and six ministries, and there is the power of the Ministry of Rites under the jurisdiction of Shangshu Province, the scenery of Taichang Temple is naturally not as good as before.

However, the Ministry of Rites is only in charge of the promulgation of government decrees and the formulation of etiquette principles, and rarely asks about the specific details of the etiquette system, so Taichang Temple will not be reduced to the Qingshui Yamen, after all, it is also the head of the Imperial Court Secretaries and Supervisors, and it is still very respected, and it is not as cold as imagined.

For example, this year's birthday celebration of the Son of Heaven, although it is held in the name of the Ministry of Rites, but the specific person responsible for the actual work is still the officials of the Taichang Temple.

Therefore, when Han Rui came to the official office of Taichang Temple under the enthusiastic guidance of Lu Cai, what he saw was a chaotic scene, if it wasn't for the shouting people, all wearing blue and red official robes, and there were no shop stalls and goods, otherwise Han Rui would definitely mistakenly think that he had come to the downtown on the east and west sides of the city.

Not to mention the official office, even the slightly spacious corridors are occupied, and one by one the officials, leaving behind the gentle and elegant reserve, are foaming at the mouth and directing groups of musicians to play and sing and dance, which can be described as passionate and full of vitality.

"Han Gongzi smiled." Accustomed to it, Lu Cai naturally didn't feel anything, but when he noticed Han Rui's surprise, he felt that it was inevitable to explain, and said with a smile: "There are many rehearsals, and the place is not spacious enough, so I have to practice here." ”

Han Rui nodded with a smile, looked at it curiously, noisy, dazzling, and the rehearsal was intermittent, naturally he couldn't see anything, and then he lost interest, followed Lu Cai, walked for a while, and came to a very spacious place, majestic drum music, burly military guards, armor and sharpness, short handover, roaring and colliding, Jin Ge iron horse, horse neighing, listening to the feeling of blood boiling.

Two thousand military horses, each in their own formation, assassinated against each other, at first glance, it almost makes people think that there is a rebellion here, someone is going to attack Miyagi, it is worthy of the dance of the military formation, it is extremely realistic, the roar is shocking, the sound of fighting is endless, which makes people's hearts stir, Han Rui appreciated it carefully, his face slowly flushed a little ruddy, and his excitement was overflowing.

"Han Rui, you're here." A familiar voice came, Han Rui looked up, but saw Li Chengqian coming over, with a smile on his face and a friendly attitude, in Han Rui's eyes, this is very normal, but in the eyes of others, it is an enviable thing.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." Han Rui called, everyone watched, and naturally saluted respectfully.

Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to support him, and said with a friendly smile: "I haven't seen many people, but I have learned this set of false etiquette." ”

"This is Taichang Temple, the place in charge of etiquette, you can't learn it." Han Rui quietly retorted, and asked with a chuckle: "Naturally, I haven't seen you for a long time, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got married, I haven't seen you anymore, and I want to go to the palace to meet you, but I think that you and the crown princess are newly married Yan'er, and your love is sweet, and you definitely don't have time to see me, so you don't dare to go and disturb." ”

"Aren't you the same." Li Chengqian glared, and then laughed.

Although they were far away, they couldn't hear what the two were saying, but seeing them talking and laughing really made many officials envious, and they inquired about Han Rui's details.

After saying a few words, it was clear that this was not a place to talk, Han Rui asked, "You asked Lu Taile to bring me here, is there something wrong?" ”

"You're wrong this time." Li Chengqian smiled: "I just proposed, but it was Lu Cai who decided to invite you here." ”

"Oh, what's that for?" Han Rui asked curiously.

"Let's go in and talk." Li Chengqian said, beckoning slightly, Lu Cai walked over quickly, and the three of them walked towards the official office.

The building of the Taile Department is still relatively simple and elegant, and the interior furnishings are not luxurious, but it can also be called exquisite, and what impressed Han Rui the most was the various musical instruments on the rows of bookshelves next to him, and naturally there were many bamboo books, which should be related to music and song scores, but now Han Rui is not in the mood to go over to watch.

Walking to the side of the screen, the three of them sat in separate seats, and the officials of the official office hurriedly brought charcoal, and a person from Donggong Temple put aside a bronze stove with exquisite shape and auspicious cloud beasts, and then ignited the precious ambergris spices, and after a while, a rich and refreshing fragrance permeated the room.

These trivial matters did not affect the conversation between the three of them, Li Chengqian took the lead and smiled: "Father's birthday banquet this year is fully responsible for Taichang Temple, Lone is just a spectator, Han Rui, if you don't understand anything, just ask Lu Taile." ”

Obviously, after Li Chengqian got married, he started a family and started a business, Li Shimin felt that it was necessary to properly involve him in the political affairs of the imperial court, and it happened that the birthday was approaching, so he asked Li Chengqian to come over to help, obviously to supervise, but in fact to study, after all, similar to a banquet at the level of a state banquet, it must follow the rules and regulations formulated by the imperial court, and there can be no mistakes.

Although the Tang Dynasty said that it was to rule the world with filial piety, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was still a matter of etiquette, as long as the etiquette was thoroughly pondered, it was not difficult to deal with the political affairs of the imperial court, as long as it was applied to it, even if it could not be done the best, but it would not do things badly, Li Shimin's intentions, Li Chengqian may not be able to understand, but he can understand the meaning of this move.

This is a test, if you can't even pass this pass, how can your father rest assured that he will hand over other important political affairs to himself, that is, with this awareness, so after Li Chengqian came to Taichang Temple, he just listened more, watched more, asked more, learned more, and easily did not open his mouth to make a decision.

For Li Chengqian's approach, Lu Cai still appreciates it very much in his heart, as a subordinate, what he is most afraid of is to encounter a boss who doesn't understand anything, but he prefers to point fingers at his boss and make a mess of things, so he puts the responsibility on his subordinates.

It's just that he was worried in his heart, and it was not flattery, so Lu Cai smiled calmly: "The prince can coordinate the overall situation and strategize, and the rest of the trivial matters will naturally be carried out by Weichen and others." ”

Han Rui agreed: "Yes, as a high-ranking person, you only need to know people's talents, choose the best, and do everything personally, but it makes everyone feel that the prince does not believe in his subordinates, and he is resentful." ”

"It makes sense, I've written it down." Li Chengqian nodded, his expression solemn, and he obeyed seriously.

Surprised glanced at Han Rui, this is not what the subject should say, but the prince's attitude is also a little abnormal, Lu Cai was thoughtful, and he didn't mean to delve into it, and said calmly: "Master Han, I rashly invited you to come this time, but I asked for something. ”

"Mr. Lu is polite, just come down if you have something to order, dare not do your best." Han Rui said with a smile, here Li Chengqian, he is not afraid of Lu Cai's difficult request.

"I don't dare to tell you, I just want to beg Han Gongzi to write a new lyric for Breaking Array Music." Lu Cai smiled and said, the lyrics of previous years were written by Wei Zheng and Li Baiyao, and this year was no exception.

First, it is difficult to refute the face of the crown prince Li Chengqian, and the second is that Han Rui's poetry is talented, which has been recognized by everyone, and many civil officials and scholars in the imperial court are sighing to themselves, and asking him to compose a wonderful lyric will definitely add a lot of color to the music of breaking the formation.

Hearing this request, Han Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and frowned slightly: "This matter is not difficult, the question is whether there is anything special to pay attention to in the poem." ”

"There are many foreign envoys, and it is best to be magnificent, raise the prestige of our country, and shock the four countries." Lu Cai thought about it and added: "Don't forget, this is to celebrate Your Majesty's birthday." ”

Sure enough, it's not that simple, there are so many requirements, Han Rui thought about it for a long time, and when he saw him like this, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry, go home and think about it slowly, just send the poems a few days before the birthday banquet." ”

His eyebrows moved slightly, and Lu Cai didn't say much, but when he saw Han Rui scratching his head, he smiled shyly: "It seems that I thought of the first, but I don't know if it's okay." ”

Frightened, so fast, Lu Cai was surprised, hurriedly got up, did it himself, took the pen and paper, Han Rui didn't pinch it, took the brush in his hand, waved it, others crowded to watch, read it lightly, looked at each other silently, sighed in unison, and obeyed.
