The fourth master really had time to play with those instruments. The key is that most of these instruments were later lost. They can only be restored by relying on murals. For example, this pipa is a five-string pipa. Later pipa has four strings.
The murals can prove that the pipa of the Tang Dynasty was a five-stringed one. In later generations, Japan also preserved a pipa given to them by the Tang Dynasty. Because it was a reward, this pipa has been well preserved. Only that one
With the beautiful Pipa, it is not difficult to imagine how glorious the Tang Dynasty was back then.
And now, Fourth Master has collected a whole room of musical instruments in this room.
In fact, all the aristocratic children play this game, and Li Hong’s konghou is very good. But it’s from the British government... How should I put it? Among the few men now, is Li Jingye interested in learning from him? Or is he the original fourth master?
Do you have the physical conditions to learn this? However, it is not that Li Jingye cannot play a musical instrument. For example, during the banquet, Lin Yutong heard the sound of drums. It can be seen that Li Jingye can use the waist drum.

Of course, the fourth master dares to go out and socialize, that’s because the fourth master already knows how to play the flute and guqin. Even if he is unfamiliar, everyone understands. But now, he has mastered so much! He can play almost all the musical instruments he can find.
Got it.
Li Xian followed and looked at it and said, "If you have a preference, it doesn't matter if you play around with it." Isn't it unnecessary to learn one by one? He didn't find that his brother-in-law was inappropriate at the banquet! He can make drinking orders,
If you can play the flute and piano and have reached an average level, that’s pretty good.

I definitely think so! Fourth Master’s artistic quality is quite good. He has a very good foundation!
The fourth master looked at Li Xian and said, "The princess likes it. It's okay for me to learn a few more things. Fortunately, there are not many good things!" After giving him the method of making iron, he will not participate in the rest. Lin Yutong: "..." Although
I guess the fourth master may have other intentions, for example, not to let people think that he inherited the Duke's mansion and can do whatever he wants in terms of military power. However, if you say this, others will misunderstand.
That's what Li Xian thought. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Seeing that the emperor's sister is living so smoothly, I will feel relieved."
Then the two of them stayed with Li Xian for a meal and then sent him away.
As soon as they left, Li Ji came over. He was over seventy years old, and he looked older as soon as he rested.
After sitting in the study, Li Ji sighed, "Why do you think of playing musical instruments?"
The fourth master brought the tea and handed it over, pulling Tongtong to sit with him. Then he looked at Li Ji and said, "There is a drought this year..."

"Next year there will be a disaster." The fourth master said, "The territory is large now, but it is unstable! Since Tubo expanded to the east and the Qiang people were harmed, and the imperial court was busy pacifying Korea and abandoned the Qiang land, it shows that the imperial court is in the use of troops.
Weakness has appeared. If the imperial court is tired of responding to the disaster after two years of disaster, then do you think that no matter which protective center it is, can it be stable? The Western Region is a union of various tribes. Some people obey, and some people rebel. So,
The Anxi Protectorate is in trouble. You have pacified Goguryeo, but the imperial court cannot even recruit 20,000 soldiers to control Goguryeo... So based on your life's war experience, can Goguryeo be pacified in a short time?"
This is simply not something that can be accomplished in one battle! In fact, various rebellions in Goguryeo continued for several years.
The fourth master then said, "Towards the west, the Western Region is unstable and needs troops, money and food; towards the east, it will take several years for Goguryeo to regain some stability. The north is afraid of the Turks' disaster, so they will either seek help or occasionally plunder; the south is afraid of floods.
Civil unrest breaks out. At this time, the use of troops is particularly important. To use troops, not only must we have weapons, but more importantly, money and food supplies. However, the distances in any of the four directions, southeast, northwest, and northwest are very long, and once the expedition is launched, there is a risk that it will be unsustainable.
What's more, sharp weapons cannot be made in a day. The imperial court does not have the ability to replace everyone with sharp weapons. This will take time! Therefore, we estimate that the war in the past two years will not be optimistic. No matter who is fighting this battle
If you fight, the result will not change."
Li Ji understood. This meant that if he didn't retreat at this time, when would he retreat? He was old and had to retreat. He just took over and he was not good at military affairs. Therefore, whoever was asked to fight this battle would have to follow the British government.
Nothing to do.

He moved sheepishly, then looked at the princess.
Tongtong also knew what Li Ji meant, so he said, "...Father may not be happy for the prince-in-law to take over this too eagerly. Slower, slower, is appropriate! The queen must have something in mind, but she is too eager.
, if the father has a taboo, it will ruin the mother's affairs! I am the princess of the auxiliary country, but now this position is also difficult. I am caught in the middle, sometimes it is left or right! If I were not afraid of violating the taboo
, I am willing to lead troops to go on an expedition. But even if I have this ability and my heart, no one in the court or in the government will agree. The military system of the Tang Dynasty... is actually difficult to use and difficult to use.
Do you think, besides this method, what else can be thought of in the short term? Moreover, we know in our hearts that the Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, but its population is growing slowly. With a very small population, it is necessary to garrison the vast territory.
Deterring foreign races is far from being as simple as being stretched thin."

The current population of the Tang Dynasty is less than 4 million households. Even if it is calculated as 4 million households, each household is calculated as ten people, which is only 40 million people.
But in fact, there are really no 400 households, and each household has less than ten people on average, so the population of Datang today must be less than 40 million. This population is roughly equivalent to the total population of a province in later generations. Of course, there are also
It cannot be a province with a large population like Shandong or Sichuan. It is just an ordinary province with a population.
If you spread the population of a province over such a large land area, you will know that except for Chang'an and Dacheng, the Tang Dynasty is far from prosperous today.
Population is wealth, right? There are only so many people. You remove the dignitaries from it, get the slaves from it, and remove the women and children from it. I would like to ask, how many young and strong people can really be used for production and war?
How many?
And with such a small population, such a long border, and having to be stationed, and if there is a need for replacement transportation, how do you do it?
Li Ji remained silent for a long time, and then he smiled. From the perspective of the British government, these two people were in charge, and the British government was safe! But from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, the words of these two people made him feel uncomfortable.
.The Tang Dynasty is on an uphill road, and its national power will become stronger and stronger. But the crisis is also hidden. Once triggered, it cannot be dealt with!
He stood up, waved his hands and left. He thought that he should retire and just go to the palace. The British government should close its doors and rest for a few years. It was just right to tie up the grandson Jingye in the palace.
At home - attending to illnesses.
As soon as they sent the people away, Fourth Master and Tongtong were devastated. The situation in front of them was like this. Some things are not something you can do just because you want to do them. Just like Goguryeo, if you just ask Tongtong to go there, you can immediately put down the rebellion and make this place long-term and stable.

When the laws of nature are irreversible, you have to hide your capabilities and bide your time. In short, Tongtong cannot be a person who is seen as a person who has a strong desire for power and wants to get her hands on everything. If so, she will become a victim of the power struggle, which is unwise.
!
Fourth Master took Tongtong to look at the musical instruments, "Which one do you want to learn? I can teach you after I learn it."
Lin Yutong has a big head, is he really going to learn this thing? It would be very difficult for him. He walked past these strange instruments and raised his hands to play them. Like the pipa, it is said that Li Yuan plays it very well. You can get started... It feels like
so complicated.
Finally, Tongtong's eyes lit up, and she raised her hand to take the gilded suona, "Let's take this!"
Fourth Master: "..." You can't learn this at any time, why do you have to learn it now! The musical instruments of the Tang Dynasty cannot be encountered at any time.
Don't worry about it. For a person who has no artistic talent, learning related things is just like being punished. Why do you have to embarrass me?

The fourth master raised his hand and it was confiscated. There was a suona sound in the house all day long. Is it nice to hear it?
Tongtong touched another bamboo board, which was like the predecessor of Allegro. Several pieces of bamboo were threaded together. When he touched it, Fourth Master confiscated it again and pulled Tongtong to sit next to a piano.
Lin Tong raised his hand and took the panpipe, "I'll learn this..." Don't ask me to play the piano.
That’s okay! Pan flute, right? Let’s learn it.
Therefore, for a while every day, the elegant music of the piano would always be mixed with a few uncoordinated tones. At first, the servants in the house looked curiously in that direction, but day by day, slowly
are all used to it.
Empress Wu was leaning on the couch with a cotton mattress draped over her body. She was holding a book of "Book of Han" in her hand and reading it back and forth. Sometimes after turning the page, she would go back and read it again.
"When do you think your end will be?"
At this time, Lin Zhou came in with a message saying that Li Taishi was asking for an audience.
The sage asked, "I heard that many people in Chang'an City admire the immortal master?"
Li Chunfeng looked at Lin Yutong's face again, and a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes. He held up his hands and said, "Your Highness, there is no limit to what you can achieve!"
Li Chunfeng sighed, "Whenever the saint ascends the throne, I will ask my ministers to search for the imperial mausoleum together with Yuan Tianshi."
Therefore, the history books say that Li Zhi and Empress Wu almost obeyed this person's advice. However, there is no record of this person's evil behavior in the history books. This shows what kind of relationship they had. If they obeyed their advice, then
Only when the other party says what they want to do will they listen.
When the song ended, the saint summoned Ming Chongyan.
This person has a connection with both myself and Fourth Master. It’s a rare visit, how can I not see him?
This said: "The saint and the empress are orthodox, and they have the protection of the immortals."
Ming Chongyan looked at the indifferent emperor, and then thought about the queen who had not released the book for a day, and his emotions were restrained.
Lin Yutong just listened. In Li Zhi's view, it doesn't matter whether what Ming Chongyan said is true or false. What matters is that he can win the trust of so many people. As long as the people believe in him, it will be easy! Everything he preaches
It is the orthodox thought that is beneficial to the saints, so why not?
Li Chunfeng pondered for a long time and then said: "It's just that Master Yuan Tianshi told me privately that everything is good there, but the yin energy is strong, which is beneficial to the heroine!" After saying that, he stared at Lin Yutong's face for a while, and then stood up, "Chen
Excuse me!" Lin Yutong: "..." Doesn't it just look like a lying woman? It's just for the heroine's benefit? Besides, what do you mean by those glances at me? She called out to the other party, "
Li Taishi stayed behind."
Li Chunfeng frowned, "The destiny of heaven cannot be violated! As long as I can do what you said, I will do it."
Lin Yutong stretched out his hand, "Give me your arm."
Li Taishi!
Ah? That was the day we went down the mountain. What was special about it?
She knew what was going on, but she didn't say anything. Immortals will be immortals, orthodox will be orthodox, just pass it on! That's all!
There are bursts of music and it is very quiet.
Ming Chongyan stopped talking. After a long time, he said: "If I can always protect the saint and my empress, it will be my blessing. The saint is surrounded by peace and tranquility, and people like me will not be disturbed by others.
It’s a blessing.”
Ming Chong looked panicked, "I only went down the mountain once, but I don't know much else!"
Lin Yutong: "..." I can predict death, but you can't. It's endless, right? Let's be honest, what do you want to do?
The saint soaked in the hot spring water, the heat was lingering, he leaned against the pool wall and closed his eyes. When he listened carefully, he heard that it was indeed the wandering clouds and wild cranes, Xiao Yao was at ease.
The sound of the piano is ethereal, and those who listen attentively feel like they are sitting in the clouds, with cranes by their side.
Ming Chongyan seemed to be thinking about it, and after a moment he suddenly looked like he said, "When I left the palace, I met a gentleman who had returned from paying homage to his parents. Behind the gentleman, I saw two shadows following. One was a man in rich clothes.
The woman was a bald, leprous-like man, dressed in linen clothes, like a beggar, with a wretched expression but extremely excited. I didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business, but the woman seemed to speak, and I heard her crying to me, saying,
Let me ask her son why he sent such a person to be buried with her. I was shocked, so I told her what she said. It was just a word. Unexpectedly, the man's face changed drastically, so he just said, maybe he moved.
His father's bones were moved in the wrong place. I don't know whether it was right or wrong. I'm back on the mountain now."
Li Chunfeng? In fact, this man is not entirely a magician. He rarely shows off his skills as a magician. He is proficient in astronomy, calendar and mathematics. What he did in the court was to compile mathematics textbooks or annotate certain books.
Then there is the calculation of the annual calendar to serve the farming season.
what?
Li Chunfeng sighed: "Within two years!"
Tongtong put down the pan flute and asked Lin Zhou: "Who is coming?"
Um!
This is Ming Chongyan playing the piano.
"There is a disaster in the sky, and you should be warned." Lin Yutong looked at him, "It's not that destiny cannot be changed, but you have to exchange it with merit! Saving others is saving yourself! It doesn't matter who the imperial mausoleum benefits or disadvantages! What's important is that you
You have to do something to benefit the people. You are proficient in astronomy and calendars, so you should be able to see that the disaster is right in front of you. How to give early warning to the people to help themselves, you are good at it, you go and do it."
"It means that if I keep you for a few more years, you have to do a few things for me."
What's the meaning?
Lin Yutong pulled his wrist to feel his pulse, and after a while he said, "The King of Hell really wants to invite you, but I can keep you for a few more years."
If you play the harp in this place, Empress Wu can hear it, and the saints can also hear it.
The saint then smiled and said, "Then keep it."
These things are so legendary that not to mention the common people, even the servants in the house are convinced that Ming Chongyan is a semi-immortal. Those true, false and extremely fantastic things have all reached Lin Yutong's ears.
Lin Yutong said, "Please!"
I know! It’s Qianling.
The saint sighed, "If you think about it, then it must be the wrong move."
Therefore, Ming Chongyan stayed with Li Zhi and Empress Wu, and his reputation was even higher than that of Li Chunfeng.
The one said, "I'm afraid the saint and the empress are born as constellations, so they illuminate the Buddha like this."
Li Chunfeng stopped, turned around and looked at Lin Yutong, "Your Highness."
Lin Yutong: "..." I really want to pull out this magic stick's tongue!
"It's on Gyeonggi Road, on a mountain called Liangshan! The place chosen by me and Yuan Tianshi is the same."
Then Li Chunfeng came and mentioned something to Lin Yutong, "I always feel that my end may be approaching..."
Yes! Exactly so.
