【Chapter 24: Playing Chinese Music without Concealing Flaws】(2)
This tune is clearly the ritual music of Fangcai, but it is not the same, some places are slightly modified, and some places seem to have been re-scored, combined with Shang Zanlu's statement, but not all copied, some places seem to be improvised, but it is more appropriate and beautiful than Shang Zanlu thought.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at the sound, and saw that under the seats of King An Guo and Princess Taiping of Zhenguo, there was a handsome young man sitting at the head. He gently blew a dragon-headed jasper flute, his eyes closed lightly, as if he was completely immersed in the music, detached from everything outside of him.
Shang Zanlu recognized him, it was the eldest son of King Anguo, Li Chengqi, King of Shouchun.
Seeing that the accompanying brother was about to speak, Shang Zan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him. He knew what his brothers were trying to say, and that this piece was not a new piece based on what he had said, and he thought so at first, but the more he heard it, the more he was impressed.
He knew that the Prime Minister of Anguo's family was all fluent in music, but he didn't expect that there would be such a superb talent. This person reacts quickly and is familiar with the rhythm, and he is really a first-class master. It's just that...... This changed song is full of high spirits and pride, could it be made by this Lang Jun, who seems to have a very gentle temperament?
Princess Taiping also knows how to appreciate music, and when she saw Shang Zanlu's expression, she couldn't help but chuckle. Turning her eyes and glancing at Li Chengqi with appreciation, she said proudly: "The envoy has heard of mending the dead, and I think he has specially learned my Tang culture, I don't know if I have ever heard another sentence, called when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses?" ”
She paused as she spoke, and when she saw that the Tibetan envoy was about to speak, she continued: "Why is my Tang Guole a fly in the ointment, it is because of this. No matter how ordinary the Datang musicians are, where can they really not know what went wrong in this music? I just know it, and I don't want to change it. One of the envoys also said that the flaws are not hidden, and the other is that if you blow it casually like my nephew on weekdays, it will be enough, after all, national music is national music, and it is related to the fortune of the country, how can it be easily changed? ”
Li Chengqi had finished playing at this time, so he stopped indifferently and put away the flute as if nothing had happened. He turned his eyes to look at Li Longji, smiled on his lips, and nodded slightly.
The attention of everyone in the hall was on Princess Taiping and Shang Zanlu and others, and Li Chengqi's small action just now was only noticed by Li Dan and Monk Zanlu. Li Dan only glanced at it fixedly and then withdrew his gaze, his tranquil face could not show any emotion, only his eyes were lowered. Shang Zanlu was a little abrupt, and when Li Longji looked at him like a bystander, he bowed his head to him.
Li Longji's five brothers were sitting at the same table, sitting very close, Shang Zanlu turned his head, and everyone thought he was looking at Li Chengqi, but Li Longji happened to meet Shang Zanji's gaze, first surprised by the insight of this slave, and then hooked the corner of his lips, and bowed his head without a trace.
As early as the beginning of the debate between the Tibetan envoys and the Tang courtiers, Li Longji quietly changed positions with Li Chengyi, and whispered to Li Chengqi the score he had finalized in his heart. When I told it, I found that there was something that was not tasteful enough, and I improvised a change.
According to Li Chengqi's previous temperament, this kind of thing would never be done, but at this moment, the saint queen, ministers, ministers, and women obviously have nothing to do, and the orchestra is on the second floor, the entire first floor of the hall, I am afraid that he is the only one who carries the flute with him.
Everything has its own saint to be the master, but at this moment, the saint can't be the master, so what should it do?
Compared with Xiangwangfu, after all, Datang is more important.
Li Chengqi saw Shang Zan's head and returned the salute, but he didn't say anything. Shang Zanlu no longer continued to be confined to the matter of music, and the page was finally turned. Li Xian nodded at Li Dan and Princess Taiping before announcing the opening of the table. At this time, a piece of music with a bit of turtle style was uploaded spontaneously, brushing away the unhappiness of Fang Cai, and a little hearty spontaneously appeared.
First of all, Shang Zanlu led all the Tibetan envoys to toast Li Xian, and then Li Dan and Princess Taiping toasted Shang Zanlu and others on behalf of the emperor. Li Xian and Shang Zanlu chatted while eating, and gradually became in a better mood - Shang Zanlu and others couldn't say anything about the food of the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing that Empress Wei turned her head to laugh with Princess Anle, the ministers and nobles who accompanied the banquet also began to laugh and laugh with the neighbors.
Listening to the cheerful music and voices in the hall, Xiao Jiangyuan still stood with his back against the palace wall, without moving a single step.
She knew she should get out of here, but for some reason, she didn't want to leave, but she didn't want to go in if she stayed here. Such a complex and contradictory mind was only once when Wu Cao was seriously ill.
I don't know how long it took, but the sun was already setting a little westward. Yang Siqiao suddenly rushed out of the Linde Palace, and hurriedly greeted the nearby little eunuchs and forbidden soldiers: "Everyone has an order, after half an hour, the Tang Dynasty will bow in front of this Linde Hall with Tubo." We have to quickly clean up this land neatly, and we must not embarrass Datang! ”
Xiao Jiangyuan thought about it, and finally walked over: "Brother, this is ......"
"Brother Xian?" Yang Siqiao had been following Li Xian's side, and when he entered the hall and didn't see Xiao Jiangyuan, he was a little puzzled, and when he saw her here at this moment, he was even more puzzled, "Since you came, why didn't you go in?" ”
"A dignified state banquet, how can the younger brother easily participate?" Xiao Jiangyuan said lightly, "Brother hasn't told my younger brother yet, what the hell is going on, the state banquet is eating well, why did you suddenly remember to play polo?" ”
Yang Siqiao snorted lightly: "It's not that group of slaves yet!" First of all, I said that our national music is not good, and after eating it for a while, I said that the people of the Tang Dynasty love to play polo, and they are like this in Tibet. No, everyone should be on board, and they are going to have a fight with them! ”
Xiao Jiangyuan automatically replaced Yang Sixuan's exaggerated and radical part, and roughly understood what had happened in the hall. Just now, after the national music rested, there was a flute sound, which turned out to be the reason. King Shouchun is good at flute, but he has always refused to stand out, and it is really rare to stand up today, but ...... King Shouchun is still like this, what did he do?
This polo game can be regarded as a war between the two countries, and it is just a game, but in fact, who doesn't care about the outcome - he won't be playing at this time, right?
Xiao Jiangyuan asked: "Needless to say, Tubo can bring up this matter, it will inevitably bring a powerful bower, who will my Tang Dynasty fight?" ”
Yang Siqiao said: "Everyone has played in the palace, and they have personally trained a polo team, and now if they want to fight for Datang, it is naturally the most suitable for this protégé of the Son of Heaven to fight." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "This matter is easy to do, but it is just to set up two goals, pull up the fence, and then move the seats out, and put them in front of the hall and in the corridors on both sides." On the court, the forbidden army was sent to find the Son of Heaven polo team, and let them do it themselves, and the rest was completed by the eunuchs and the forbidden army, so that it was all done in less than half an hour. ”
Yang Siqiao still had a headache, and when he heard this, he said happily: "It really saves a lot of worry to have such a virtuous brother for my brother." ”
Xiao Jiangyuan didn't feel a little helpless: "Brother don't hurry up and move?" ”
It really didn't take half an hour, everything was done, just waiting for Li Xian and the others to come out of the hall. At this time, two groups of small eunuchs walked down cautiously from the Yuyi Building and the Neighboring Building on both sides of the Lin De Palace, carrying large and small drums, and placed a row outside the corridor. Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan was puzzled, Yang Siqiao raised his chin and smiled: "I asked them to borrow it from the musicians on the second floor, and when the polo was played for a while, I relied on them to cheer!" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan sighed in his heart, bowing is really a sport that Datang loves all over the country.
"I'm going to ask everyone to come out." Yang Siqiao turned around as he spoke, and just took two steps for a moment, "You can go in with me." ”
"I don't have to." Xiao Jiangyuan hurriedly said, slightly stunned by his reaction for a while, hesitated for a while, and then said, "I have a low status, just nest in any corner, you go and invite the saint." ”
Yang Siqiao didn't force it, but just muttered: "Everyone is clearly an internal servant, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, you should call the Son of Heaven 'everyone', why have you never ......"
Xiao Jiangyuan said with a smile: "I don't dare to call myself a close minister of the Son of Heaven. ”
"You don't come." Yang Siqiao glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan, "On the night of the prince's coup, why don't you dare?" ”
Xiao Jiangyuan didn't refute either, but only pushed Yang Siqiao: "You don't want to go quickly?" ”
When he was young, Li Xian led everyone out, and when he saw that everything was properly arranged, he had to praise Yang Siqiao a few words. Yang Siqiao was willing to take credit, so he smiled and said: "Everyone praises it, these servants, slaves and maids are the most incompetent, these are all arranged by Xiao Neishou." ”
Li Xian smiled slightly, looked at the brand-new polo field in front of him, and said non-denially: "Yes......"
