Who would have known that Luo Heihei, who was hiding behind the tent, would already know all about it.
Emperor Taizong saw the hints made by the palace attendants and knew that Luo Heihei had mastered the playing skills, so he twirled his beard and smiled, and said to Monk Hu very disdainfully: "Is this music considered a sound of nature? I can do whatever I want here.
Anyone from the same palace can play it."
Then, he ordered someone to bring a pipa with thicker and bigger strings than the instrument played by Monk Hu. He pretended to hit Luo Heihei casually and asked her to play on the spot.
This Luo Hei Hei has a bad appearance and is dressed as a little palace maid. She looks very ordinary, but when she plays the pipa, the tune is exactly the same as that of Hu Seng.
Monk Hu was shocked, and with great respect for the Celestial Empire, he returned home in despair.
Later, in order to protect his reputation and status, Monk Hu exaggerated the culture of the Tang Dynasty. When all the countries in the Western Regions heard about it, they were all amazed. Seeing the tyranny of the Tang army, dozens of countries surrendered.
It can be said that the actor Luo Heihei made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's pacification of the Western Regions.
Speaking of this, the actor Shi Yezhu looked at Li Jie: "May I ask His Highness King Shou, have you ever heard of Luo Heihei's deeds?"
Li Jie pursed his lips and replied: "I really haven't heard of it."
Shi Yezhu led the way and said, "Then I guess His Highness Prince Shou has never heard of the deeds of Lei Haiqing and Gao Cuiwei?"
Li Jie said: "I really don't know. I would like to ask the actor to help me clarify my doubts."
The actor Lei Haiqing was born during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong. It is said that he was the third prince of the Jade Emperor. Because he loved human drama and was good at music, singing and dancing, he was reincarnated as a mortal and traveled around the world.
Emperor Xuanzong set up a teaching studio and selected musicians. Because of his outstanding talents, Lei Haiqing was named the Music Camp General and was responsible for managing and teaching all the children of the royal troupe.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan captured Chang'an and captured the civil and military court officials, concubines and musicians, including the music camp general Lei Haiqing himself.
After the rebels occupied Luoyang, the eastern capital, they held a banquet at the Ningbi Pond in Luoyang and forced the children of the Liyuan Garden to sing and dance to celebrate. Lei Haiqing, the general of the music camp who was in charge of the musicians, refused this request and even hit the rebel top brass with a pipa on the spot.
, he should be beheaded in the theater hall and die for his country.
After the chaos was settled, Emperor Xuanzong conferred the titles of "Tang Zhonglie Music Officer" and "General Manager of Liyuan in the World" to Lei Haiqing.
It is said that after Lei Haiqing's death, he returned to heaven due to his perfect merit and deeds, and spread many miraculous deeds in the world. People respected him as the "god of drama", "general marshal of Oshiwentian", and "general marshal of Zhonglie of Jiutian Fenghuoyuan".
”, so both court actors and folk troupes respected him as their patron saint.
King Mu Li Yi was fascinated by the story and urged the actor Shi Yezhu to quickly go on to tell him who Gao Cuiwei was.
Li Jie, the longevity king, was not obsessed when he heard this, but vaguely felt that the stone wild boar seemed to have something to say, so he did not interrupt the stone wild boar's ancient talk.
Although it was Mu Wang Li Yi who urged him to tell the story, Shi Yezhu looked at Shou Wang Li Jie intentionally or unintentionally and said: "That Gao Cuiwei was an actor in the palace during the reign of Emperor Jingzong. He was only good at making fools in his life to amuse the audience.
.”
Emperor Jingzong was a very interesting person. He only served as emperor for two years in total. He was only sixteen years old when he ascended the throne. During his reign, he was polite to his courtiers, but also indulged in having fun.
In other words, although Emperor Jingzong was addicted to Cuju, liked to catch foxes in the palace late at night, and ignored government affairs, he was obviously not a good emperor; but he was also very kind to his loyal ministers and did not implement any policies that abused the people. It seems that
He is not a bad emperor who is obscene and immoral.
Emperor Jingzong's character was very frivolous and fun. Once, when the actor Gao Cuiwei was acting crazy and acting foolishly, Emperor Jingzong became interested and asked his envoys to go up and push Gao Cuiwei's head into the water. It took a long time to release him.
The emperor just wanted to see how this guy, who seems to be happy with everything he encounters all day long, can get so crazy after being teased like this. Unexpectedly, after the actor got out of the water, he didn't curse, but started laughing wildly.
Emperor Jingzong curiously asked him why he was laughing, and Gao Cuiwei replied: "Just now when I was in a daze, I saw Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan asked me: 'I sank into the Miluo River because of the unrighteousness of King Huai of Chu. You
After meeting the Lord of Holy Might, why did you come here?'"
Gao Cuiwei was obviously satirizing Emperor Jingzong who indulged in fun and had no regard for human life, and was not a wise monarch.
Although Emperor Jingzong was playful by nature, he was not a real bastard. He admired Gao Cuiwei's daring act of sarcasm, laughed it off, and rewarded the actor Gao Cuiwei with a hundred pieces of cloth.
King Mu Li Yi, who was only 6 years old, liked the story very much and asked curiously: "Did Emperor Jingzong listen to it?"
Shi Yezhu shook his head, but did not dare to go into details, so Shou Wang Li Jie told his younger brother Li Yi: "Emperor Jingzong likes to party, ignores government affairs, and is gullible. During his reign, the palace was occupied by dyers' riots.
In the second year of his reign, he was killed by the eunuch Liu Keming and others at the age of seventeen."
King Mu Li Yi lamented: "Oh, what a pity that Gao Cuiwei advised him."
The stone wild boar smiled, said nothing, and led the two of them directly to the depths of the pear garden where the current emperor Li Xuan was.
After arriving at the place, Li Jie and Li Yi discovered that the fifth brother had called most of the brothers. Even Li Yi, who was only 6 years old, was not the youngest. Almost everyone who could talk had been called over. There were also a few under the age of three or four.
He didn't call.
The emperor was completely bored and just wanted to find some playmates to play with. He asked everyone to go fight ducks. Everyone was confused. They had only heard of cockfights and goose fights, but never heard of duck fights.
ah!
Li Zhang laughed loudly: "It's just because I've played cockfighting and goosefighting, but you guys are no match for me, that's why I want to find something else to play with."
"I have thought about it. Whether it is a rooster, a goose or a weaver, they are all vicious creatures. Only an emperor like me in the world can subdue the strongest beasts. It is really unfair for you to compete with me.
"
"But fighting ducks is different. Ducks are gentle in nature. Only by taming and stimulating them in various ways can they develop the desire to fight. In this way, it is obviously more fair to compare skills instead of fierceness. What do you think?"
What do you think? All the princes think this idea is not good, but they don’t dare to say not to play, even Li Jie is the same.
Everyone went to the duck house to choose fighting ducks, but after all, they had no experience and made a mess. Their techniques were directly borrowed from cockfighting and goose fighting. Obviously, they were not accustomed to the local environment. They were easily defeated by the fighting ducks carefully raised by Emperor Li Xuan.
The emperor laughed loudly when he won at first, but when he won more, he felt it was boring, so he asked everyone to take the ducks home to tame them and fight again next time.
If he wins, he also wants to win happily! Win with fairness!
