Section 745, 746 Is this ceremony... a crime of deceiving the king?(2/2)
"Your Majesty..." The ministers were a little worried.
"It's okay. I believe in the words of the Hou of Phoenix Township." Li Luofeng smiled lightly.
Thank you for your hard work, you respectfully put the colorful snake into Li Luo's hands. Li Luo felt a cool feeling when he started, and the disadvantages were that he smelled the fragrance.
It's indeed a bit famous and unique.
The little snake is only the size of a middle finger. When it reaches Li Luo's hand, it wraps his wrist, like a colorful bracelet. Without looking carefully, it is not obvious that it is a small snake.
"Can you really repel mosquitoes?" Li Luo asked.
He knew that there was a kind of fragrant snake in South America that could avoid mosquitoes and was expensive. This colorful little snake had never been seen in later generations, but it was obviously not a fragrant snake. This should be a snake that was about to extinction.
"Your Majesty, this snake is one meter in a circle, and mosquitoes dare not enter. Moreover, the aroma of this snake can refresh the mind, which is really a rare alien species." He said with a little satisfaction, "It's a pity that there is only one, otherwise it would have been dedicated to the Empress. This year, I have sent many people to look for it, but I can't find the second one."
The snake has a strange fragrance, and mosquitoes are very afraid. Last summer, she wore the snake around her and was not disturbed by mosquitoes again.
"Then I will accept it. Thank you for your hard work, I like this gift very much, and I am determined." Li Luo was also a little happy. If he could repel mosquitoes, it would be a good thing.
In ancient times, mosquitoes were even more rampant. Many of the poems and dictionaries recorded the suffering of mosquitoes. Even the palace was also troubled by mosquitoes. Although incense burning, sachets, and the original mosquito repellent "fen rope grass" invented by the Song Dynasty were somewhat useful, the mosquito repellent effect was not good, and it mainly relies on mosquito nets.
Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, in order to repel mosquitoes, Cixi ordered a huge mosquito net to cover the bedroom. Even if you are the supreme and live in the deep palace, you will be bitten by mosquitoes.
Li Luo and Cui Xiuning worked at night in Xia, so there was not much help with mosquitoes. You can’t burn mugwort in your bedroom, right? There were more mosquitoes in ancient times. In the words of the poet, it was really “the faint thunder” and “the fan could not be deterred”.
The little snake seemed to be sleepy, wrapped around Li Luo's hand and stopped moving.
"Your Majesty, this snake eats small fish, preferably tadpoles and loaches, which need to be fed once every five days." said hard, "I have already fed it once today."
Li Luo nodded and handed over the "Colorful Spirit Snake" to Kangxi for safekeeping.
The ministers were relieved when they saw that the emperor was not angry, and Li Qiang felt even more relieved.
Next, the royal family gave a gift.
The birthday ceremony of Prince Li Zheng was written by himself. He didn't recognize many of the words in it, so he wrote them down in a stroke.
Li Zhengxi is young and does not need to give gifts.
Princess Luoning Li Yuan gave her hands-made thousand-layer dragon-patterned boots, and hand-sewn midsuit and cotton socks.
The gift from the Supreme Emperor Yan Duo was "The Painting of the River and Mountains in Dawn" by himself. The scroll is more than three feet long, and the painting is magnificent and has a very artistic conception. This is a painting that Yan Duo took three months to complete.
Finally, it is the birthday ceremony of Queen Cui Xiuning.
Li Luodun is extremely looking forward to it.
"I am offering you a gift... bring a colorful real gold treasure!" Cui Xiuning said with a smile, and the female guard Shi Shanhu immediately handed over an exquisite box.
What?
Li Luo took the box in surprise, and when he opened it, he was stunned. Isn’t this the belt he sold to the Lord of Chuandeng Temple and was given to Prince Mongyuan Zhenjin?
I bought it for hundreds of thousands of yuan back then, but it was just a luxury in later generations, but in ancient times, it was a unique thing.
"How did you get it?" Li Luo asked in a low voice.
Cui Xiuning whispered: "I took it out of Prince Zhenjin's mansion. I can still get something from Prince Zhen's mansion. Special inspection bureau plans it."
"It's not bad, it's indeed a surprise. I thought this thing would never come back. It's our capital to start." Li Luo was very happy. This is the original owner. And it's a very memorable thing.
Cui Xiuning is really meant.
After finally finishing the gift list, I finished drinking the second wine.
Next, the dishes were changed. At this time, the dance music on the stage suddenly changed and became more powerful. In an emergency, the tall warrior with a wooden halberd, swords, shields, bows and arrows came on the stage with a heroic spirit.
"Huh! Drink!" As more than a hundred warriors shouted, they followed the grand drumming and sang: "The head of the law will be heard, and the prime minister will be punished for the traitor. Xian sang "Breaking the Formation Music" to admire the peaceful people together..."
This is the most famous "Qin King Breaking the Formation Music" in the Tang Dynasty.
"The Music of the King of Qin" was very famous at that time, and was well-known in the Western Regions. It was known as the number one dance music of the Tang Dynasty. However, the Central Plains had been lost for hundreds of years. Only the Japanese envoy Su Tianzheng and others sent Tang Dynasty envoys, carefully sorted out the collection of Tang dance scores and brought them back to Japan, and completely retained the nine dance scores of "The Music of the Broken Formation".
Yagyukata took several years to restore dozens of songs and dances of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, including "The King of Qin Breaking the Formation Music".
Then, five women wearing armored ribbons, holding long swords on the stage, the swords danced and the danced belts flew. Five women held the pipa, playing and dancing, playing and dancing, like flying in the sky.
More than one hundred armored warriors are also divided into multiple formations, with complex changes, which are dazzling. They dance vigorously and vigorously while changing formations, either raising halberds, raising shields, or pulling bows, just like thousands of troops. More than one hundred people actually performed a powerful momentum with a huge atmosphere, which really made people's bloody blood.
The drum sound became more and more intense, and finally it was like a thunderous battle on the battlefield. The woman in white and the black-armored warrior were combined with hardness and softness. The melody of the singing and dancing was filled with storm, full of tension, which made people feel heart-wrenching and breathtaking.
Just as everyone was surprised and so beautiful, a loud female voice, like a jade bottle suddenly cracked, suddenly rising from the ground, through the grand sound of bells and drums and the exciting singing, overwhelming all sounds, as if coming from the sky, containing countless desolation and distantness.
But it was the lead singer of a female team holding a pipa.
"Sogun!" Cui Xiuning said to Li Luo immediately.
Li Luo looked at the stage without blinking, and said excitedly: "Yes, it's a soprano!"
This female voice that entered the sky immediately brought everyone into a vast and lofty state. In an instant, she felt the vastness of the world and the distant time.
All the dances are inspired by the singing and become more vigorous.
Then at this moment, a thick sound seemed to come from the depths of the earth. It was vaguely heard at first, but gradually it became louder and higher, and finally it became like the Yellow River breaking the dam, with thousands of horses galloping, overwhelmingly overwhelming the female voice, like the yellow bell, which was shocking.
"Tenor!" Li Luo said in surprise again.
Tenors and sopranoes are one after another, either vast and high, or pissing off the eight wildernesses. The dance postures of more than a hundred dancers are sometimes slow and soothing, sometimes more intense and vigorous. In a moment, they change into nine dance formations!
Many people were nervous and almost jumped out of their hearts, especially the generals, who clenched their fists with excitement.
This whole process is like a swearing to go out to war, a battle on the battlefield, a pursuit of death and a triumphant return.
This dance not only has a battlefield and a killing battle, but also shows the world, time and space, and family and country.
It was not until the drums gradually stopped and the singing and dancing gradually stopped that everyone recovered from the intense visual and auditory impact, and their minds seemed to remain in the previous artistic conception.
Even Li Luo and Cui Xiuning, who have seen the great world in later generations, enjoyed it very much.
Before, Li Luo had never understood that "The King of Qin Breaking the Formation" was just a dance after all. No matter how outstanding it was, it would not be so famous.
But now I realize that it is not just a dance. It is a master who combines the five elements of soprano singing, grand and complex dance, multiple instrument ensembles, costume props aesthetics, and battlefield situation simulation, and perfectly combines visual and auditory feelings.
An epic interpretation.
This difficulty is very high! The dancer's physical energy consumption alone is extremely large.
It is indeed the famous "Qin King Breaking the Formation Music" that has been around forever.
It was not until the dancers came to their senses.
"The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" is truly well-known. When I see this dance today, I will inevitably be bland and boring when I see other dances.
"I am going to congratulate you!"
"What a "Qin King Breaking the Formation Music"!"
"This is the dance music that I should have in the Tang Dynasty!"
The ministers raised their glasses to congratulate each other, and were very happy. However, Princess Dayuan was suddenly lost, but she couldn't help but feel deeply worried.
She was worried about Dayuan! Although this dance was beautiful and nice, she liked it very much, but it also scared her!
Li Luo happily touched his beard, "Where is the Taile Office Ling Yau Sheng?"
A short middle-aged man immediately walked forward, "Mr. Taile Office ordered Yagyu Kazuya to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
His real name is Yayoi Kazuya, and he was originally a music official in the Japanese imperial palace. He was renamed Yayoi Kazuya by Li Luo, and was in charge of the palace dance and music of the Tang Dynasty. He was a fourth-rank official.
"You have made contributions in music management. From today on, the Taile Administration has been promoted to the third rank. Not only will you be in charge of court dance music, but you will also be responsible for the education of Tang Dynasty music and train musicians." Li Luo said.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness! Long live long live long live long!" Yagyu Kazu was very happy. His Taile Administration not only became a third-rank official, but also had a lot of authority.
Li Luo actually handed over the errands of the Supreme Music and Dance Academy to the Taile Administration.
"Yao Shenghe rewarded ten gold coins, and the Chief Secretary and others reduced it in half. All warriors rewarded one gold coins! Men and women led the dance, and each rewarded two gold coins!" Li Luo rewarded generously.
Money is a square hole coins minted by gold. Money is not the main currency and is generally used for rewards. According to the weight, a piece of money can be exchanged for at least eight yuan silver coins.
This reward of one piece of money is equivalent to rewarding the dancer's salary for several months.
Soon, Huang Chengcheng's "Hongwu Money" was rewarded. The Taile Administration ordered the dancers to make a contribution and thank him again.
The minister was also a little excited when he saw the "Hongwu Money".
Emperor, I should be rewarded with Hongwu today!
Chapter completed!
