Li Longji's birthday is August 5 every year, and in the 16th year of the old calendar, Prime Minister Zhang Shuo wrote a letter suggesting that the emperor change his birthday to the Qianqiu Festival, and that the emperor's personal birthday become a festival for the whole country, and that the courtiers take a day off to show the emperor's kindness, so that the emperor is also happy, the ministers are also happy, and the common people are ...... Who cares if they are happy or not.

One day in the seventh year of Tianbao, a eunuch in the Xingqing Palace in the south found a cluster of Ganoderma lucidum on the pillar of the Datong Palace, and hurriedly reported to the superior eunuch, and the superior reported to Gao Lishi, Gao Lishi reported to the emperor, which is another auspicious event that symbolizes the prosperity of the country, so the hundred officials congratulated on the table again, and suggested that the Qianqiu Festival be changed to the Tianchang Festival, indicating the meaning of the eternal world.

Later, the Japanese learned from this dross, and the birthday of the Japanese emperor became the Tencho Festival, which continued into the 21st century.

In the autumn of each year, the state officials sent people to Beijing to offer congratulatory gifts, and the emperor feasted the ministers in the flower stamen building, although it was not as exaggerated as the feast of bliss, but it also spent countless money and luxury.

But today, the emperor is tired of the gifts sent by the border towns and places, because they are all those things over and over again, coral pearls in the south, spices and jade in the north, and you have the ability to order the specialties of South and North America.

He now pursues the beauty of art, the pursuit of spiritual things, good music, and beautiful dance, not those vulgar gold and silver.

So the emperor issued an order to these feudal officials, don't work hard and accumulate wealth anymore, now I don't like these things, if you really have the heart, then put on some programs to sing and dance, so that I can be happy at the same time, but also improve my artistic accomplishment, why not.

In fact, someone has long been called the emperor's vein, in the twenty-ninth year of the old calendar, Hexi Longyou Jiedu made Gai Jiayun in the Qianqiu Festival to present the "Ganzhou Song", the famous song card "Ganzhou Eight Voices" is an excerpt in the Ganzhou Song. When the emperor got it, he was very excited, and immediately ordered the teaching workshop Liyuan to choreograph a performance, and even spread it to the folk liquor teahouse, so that it later spread to Japan.

With this story, Li Siye felt that it was not enough for him to just play the suona, he had to arrange a program around the suona, and this program had to be combined with his military career, in addition to being able to entertain the emperor, he also had a more lofty reason.

The Tang Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, except for the border towns where the envoys of the Ten Sections are seated, the Central Plains and even the south of the Yangtze River have not experienced war for several generations, and there was no modern radio and television at that time, most of the people do not know anything about these wars on the border except for knowing the name of the emperor's year and treacherous minister, and even some county orders that rely on buying officials do not know that the emperor is waging wars year after year.

Did the emperor pay enough attention to the army? Of course not, he only valued victory, only paid attention to expanding the territory, and ignored the soldiers who participated in the war, and forcibly ordered Geshuhan to conquer the stone castle is the best proof. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the popular dance music in the court was the Qin King's Breaking Array Dance and the Great Array Music, and the popular folk was "Da Mian", that is, the Lanling King's Formation Song. From the Tang Dynasty to the Tianbao period, the palace was a pure artistic dance represented by feather clothes and neon clothes, and the popular folk dances had been replaced by Hu Xuan dance and Hu Teng dance. The emperor and the people themselves may not be aware that they are slowly abandoning the martial spirit from Zhenguan to the beginning of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

Since the gradual abolition of the government military system, the civilian population has gradually become contemptuous of the military profession. "Good iron does not nail good men and not soldiers" I don't know when it came out, but at this time there was this trend, coupled with the disaster of the feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty, and then there were five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and when the Northern Song Dynasty began, it was already common sense for the government and the people to control the military with literature.

You can take a look at what people are now filled with in the Longwu Army and the Right Xiaowei and Jinwuwei of the Central Suwei, when Xuanzong supplemented the formulation of soldiers, he asked the Liangjiazi in Guanzhong to participate in the recruitment and enlistment, and also underwent a certain physical fitness test and military literacy test, but in fact, most of the children of the Liangjia were unwilling to join the army, and spent money to buy some ruffians and hooligans to replace the quota, and when the Anshi Rebellion occurred, most of the Gyeonggi guard troops could not bear the armor, that is to say, they could not even do the most basic negative armor march, which shows how far they have been chaff.

Since this year, there have been problems with the source of troops sent from the local area to the frontier, most of them are useless, An Lushan also has an excuse, and he said to the emperor that the people recruited from the south and the Central Plains are weak, and there are many deserters, and he suggested recruiting from Hebei locally, so that the soldiers come from the local area, and there is no homesickness, and they can expand the territory for the saint with more peace of mind.

With such obvious intentions, the emperor happily agreed.

Far from it.

If Li Siye wants to use music to sweep away Chang'an's current glamorous sound, he must show the impassioned side of suona, and only the BGM "Men Should Be Self-Reliant" that no one can surpass in the movie Huang Feihong can do, Hong Kong ghost musician Huang Zhan extracted and adapted music from more than a dozen versions of the ancient song "General Order", and the ancient song of the General Order first originated in the Western Han Dynasty, and the song that has been passed down to this day is the song that originated in the Tang Dynasty, of course, there are many changes in the process of circulation.

He went out of his way to listen to the royal court version of the general's order, which was a guzheng and pipa version, and the tune was sometimes soothing and intense, sometimes soft and uplifting. It shows the sense of urgency of the general to give orders before the battle, but its status in the palace is not as good as "The Great Array", nor as good as "King Qin's Breaking Array Song", and even less than Tang Xuanzong's "Feather Wing Neon Song". However, after more than 1,000 years of circulation, countless artists have been constantly revised, and then rearranged by Huang Zhan, it will definitely play a deafening effect in Calyx Tower.

His favorite song when he plays suona, as long as the suona sound starts to resonate, it immediately gives people a super-burning feeling of exploding scalp, and there is also the momentum of tens of millions of people. Although his skills have become rusty now, there are still more than seven months before the Tianchang Festival, and some time is time to polish.

What he has to do now is to dig into the things in his memory as much as possible, such as the rhythm of the cowhide drum, the rapidity of the guzheng accompaniment, and the horizontal flute, because of the passage of more than a thousand years, the timbre of the instrument is also very different, and it needs to be constantly improved.

After making a plan, it is time to recruit the band, first looking for drummers in the army, this is not very difficult, the drummers in the army are all energy level, and they can use their greatest strength to transmit the sound of drums to the ears of the soldiers in front, so that their morale is high and they will never retreat. I also want to make a new drum on all sides, why do I want to make a new drum on four sides, because the space of the calyx building is not small, so that the four drums occupy four directions, so that the sound penetrates all directions, and then refracts back.

He also had to find a flute player who played the flute horizontally, fortunately, Hu music was prevalent in Tingzhou and Gaochang, and there was the "Eight Sounds of Ganzhou" that was circulated in Hexi. There are countless folk masters, he sent people to search in many ways, and finally with the help of Dunhuang Zhang, he found an old musician in his fifties, and the technique of playing the flute has become a trending realm, and it is estimated that he is on a par with Li Mo, a master of the music department in the pear garden.

However, there is still a lack of a person who plays the piano, and most of these masters come from the Central Plains and the south, and it is difficult to find such a musician in places like the north court of Hexi, where Hu music is prevalent.

Compared with these masters, his suona skills still have great flaws, in order not to lag behind, he has to go to the river outside the city every day to practice the tune, in order to win the emperor's favor in exchange for an official position, but also hard work.
