In the sky above the imperial city, the mountains shouted long live.
There are some different sounds mixed in,
Listen carefully, but it is some nobles such as Turk Qijin Teqin who are shouting "Khan".
A group of Turkic nobles who had just been crowned King Kegong and Grand General Zhonglang Jiang collectively presented the title of Khan of Heaven to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin.
Emperor Li Shimin was very happy and laughed loudly.
Shangshu Zuopu Shefang Xuanling stepped forward and declared, "I, the Emperor Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, have higher moral virtues than a hundred kings, and his talents have been outstanding throughout the ages. He has ordered all Xia internally, and conquered hundreds of barbarians externally. The Hufan Lord in the north of the Great Wall has been sent to Que Dunqing. Please
The title of the Supreme Being is Heavenly Khan. Later, he sent a seal to the Tibetan monarchs outside the Great Wall, and they all called the emperor Heavenly Khan, and he will unite all barbarians!"
The emperor happily accepted the title of Khan.
"Since ancient times, people have valued China and despised barbarians. I only love them like one, so all their descendants rely on me like their parents."
The emperor said these words in public, he was very noble and a loving father.
Wu Huaiyu watched from the side, but he was very clear-headed. You must know that Li Shimin had publicly said another sentence before: Yi and Di are like animals, fearing power but not being moral.
Today's joyful and harmonious scene is just that the Tang Dynasty completely defeated the Eastern Turks, not because of kindness.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has only been thirteen years, but more than eighty wars have been fought before and after. There is no love at all.
It is not unusual for the Turkic nobles to honor Li Shimin with the title of Heavenly Khan.
In ancient times, leaders of the Turks, Rouran, Tiele, and even the Khitan, Tuyuhun and other leaders were all called Khans. It was also common for them to call the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty a Khan. They added the word "tian" to express their surrender, but this was not the first time.
.
During the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen Yang Jian defeated the Turks, and the Turks gave Yang Jian the title of Saint Moyuan Khan. From below the sky to above the earth, under the sun and the moon, there is only the Saint Khan. Today is a great day. May the Saint Khan live forever.
It's always like today.
Tian Khan is almost the same as Sage Khan. Anyway, it means I am convinced, I am convinced, and we are convinced. Although Li Shimin doesn't like his cousin Yang Guang very much, he still respects his uncle Yang Jian very much.
Now that he has only been in power for three and a half years, he has been able to defeat the Turks and make all the Tibetans surrender and honor him with the title of Khan. This means that he has reached the level of Yang Jian in the hearts of the Tibetan people. How could he be unhappy?
"The Duke of Jin,"
Hou Junji looked over and said, "Why are you frowning at such a grand occasion? Do you think it is inappropriate for the Tibetan princes to confer the title of Khan of Heaven?"
Huaiyu looked at him, this guy was a censor and a minister, and he was still a prime minister involved in political affairs. He was getting more and more arrogant.
I heard that this guy has been ridiculed since he became prime minister because he didn't study much before. He really made up his mind to study hard. Even because Wei Zheng admired his efforts, he even worshiped Wei Zheng as his teacher and started reading the Eight Classics seriously.
Come on, I heard that I am pretty good at reading, and I can even write poetry.
However, when this guy opened his mouth, he deliberately dug a hole for Wu Huaiyu with ill intentions.
"It is very good that all the ministers present the title of Khan of Heaven to Your Majesty. In the whole world, who is the king's land, and who is the guest of the land, and who is the king's ministers?"
"Then why is Duke Jin frowning?"
Hou Junji still refused to give up.
Huaiyu said, "I just saw the scene of this prosperous age, and I suddenly felt poetic. I wanted to write a poem to record this situation. I heard that Duke Lu was studying with the Prime Minister of Wei and had achieved success, so why not compose a poem together?
First congratulations."
"In front of the Duke of Jin, I don't dare to do any tricks. I am willing to listen attentively to the new poems of the Prime Minister."
The two prime ministers exchanged words with each other, which soon attracted everyone's attention. Even Li Shimin smiled and asked Huaiyu to write a poem on the spot.
"Then I'll show my disgrace and put it together in a hurry."
"Who doesn't know that the Duke of Jin is very talented in poetry, especially his poems on frontier fortresses? Please let us enjoy them." Hou Junji said loudly, wishing that everyone could hear that Wu Huaiyu was going to compose a poem on the spot. He didn't quite believe it.
Wu Huaiyu could compose an excellent poem on the spot. He studied under Wei Zheng, also consulted with Kong Yingda, Lu Deming and others, and read many books very diligently.
But I only know a little about the allusions. As for the poems, they are at the level of limericks at most. The yellow dog is white on the body, and the white dog is swollen on the body. They are already rare works that praise the snow without seeing the snow.
Prince Chengqian asked someone to get paper and pen, holding a scroll in one hand and a pen in the other, and stood next to Huaiyu,
"The teacher recited poems, and I came to record them."
The emperor also looked at him with a smile, and even said to Jieli Tuli and Li Simo that Wu Huaiyu was not only a capable commander in command of the army, but also an excellent poet, calligrapher, painter and doctor.
"The Turks are in the northwest, apart from the outer areas of Juechen. They are far away and dangerous, and even if they are arrogant, there is no danger for us.
King Lielie is the teacher, Xiong Chi is his apprentice. The dragon flag rolls over the waves, and Yu rides across the sky.
·····
The emperor sat facing south, and thousands of barbarians and Di people came to him.
Offer the title of Heavenly Khan to cover the capital of our country, and the troops will not fight each other, and everyone will protect their lives and bodies."
Wu Huaiyu said one sentence after another,
A long poem was recited, with powerful and powerful sentences.
The prince Chengqian wrote hard and fast. The more he wrote, the more excited he became, and his face turned red.
Li Shimin high-fived and praised, "Okay, well written."
Hou Junji followed the high-five, but actually did not understand the good and bad, but just echoed. Li Shimin asked Hou Junji with a smile, "I heard that Sanshui has studied hard in the past two years, and even learned to write poems. Do you understand Huaiyu?"
This poem?”
"Back to the sage, the poem on the frontier fortress is well written, and it corresponds very well to this situation."
"Wei Zheng, you are teacher Hou Junji. Please tell him about the poem Huaiyu."
Wei Zheng came forward with some helplessness, first crossed his hands and saluted, and then said to Hou Junji, "This poem by the Duke of Jin should be a rap song."
Hou Junji was really stunned.
Wei Zheng had no choice but to say, "Rao music and Bei Ge are both drum music in Yuefu songs. The music originated from Beidi and the Western Regions. Rao music is used as military music.
Rap songs and northern songs are bold and unrestrained, and the language is strong and straightforward.
Since the Han and Wei dynasties, there have been rap songs and lyrics, but not in the Tang Dynasty. I heard that the Taichang Temple Advocacy Department has Rong music, but the lyrics are not included.
Rao songs, drum music, and lyrics are usually a group of poems. I would like to ask the Duke of Jin how many poems are in this group of poems, but twelve?"
Compared with Hou Junji, who knew nothing, Wei Zheng was indeed a knowledgeable prime minister. He could immediately tell that Wu Huaiyu's poem was unusual, and was actually a poem about rap and drum music.
"This poem is indeed a lyrics for Rao music drum music. For now, I only have this one. I will think about it when I have time."
"Then I'll just wait for the completion of the twelve poems of Tang rap drum music,"
Rap songs and drumbeats are official elegant music. They are not only given to soldiers fighting on the front line to boost their morale, but also to noble ministers. Some of them are given as posthumous gifts, and some special dignitaries and ministers will also give drumbeaters to drummers during their lifetimes. This is a status treatment.
symbol of.
The status of drumming and elegant music is very high. Today, the rap and drumming music in Taichang Temple in the Tang Dynasty was restored and rebuilt by Taichang Shaoqingzu Xiaosun of Fan Yangzu's family, but there are no words for the music.
Hou Junji stood there, feeling that he looked very ignorant.
"The Duke of Jin is such a talented person, why not make another song? No one is satisfied with it," Hou Junji said with a smile.
Wu Huaiyu pretended to be embarrassed, but Hou Junji deliberately made trouble.
"Sanshui," the emperor called to Hou Junji,
Wu Huaiyu crossed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will present another rap song and drum music. The Eastern Turk song just now, and now I will sing Iron Mountain Breaking."
The iron mountain is broken and the desert is comfortable. The two barbarians are strong and even the Qionglu. With its back to the North Sea, it is dedicated to Kunyu. When Sui Lai invades the border, he may be in the capital. The emperor orders the marshal to work hard for his ambition.
Defeated Dingxiang, descended to Kuiqu, lived in the huts, and scolded Yu Wu. Hundreds of barbarians broke the courage, and the border gangster Su. Showed his might and made the ghost district clear.
The benefits are numerous and the contribution is insurmountable.
Officials and ministers bow to me because of the emperor's kindness."
The smile on Hou Junji's face froze. He didn't expect that Wu Huaiyu would compose another song as soon as he said it. He suspected that Wu Huaiyu must have finished it a long time ago, but now he recited it and said it was freshly made. He secretly looked at the faces of Wei Zheng, the emperor and others.
I noticed that they kept nodding their heads, and it seemed that this song was also done well.
"The prince will give this copy of the rap lyrics to the Propaganda Department of Taichang Temple. It cannot just contain music but no lyrics."
Hou Junji was a little unwilling to give up, "The Duke of Jin is such a talented person, can he still compose another song?"
"Why don't Xiang Hou play a song?"
Hou Junji was defeated by his general. He smiled ugly, and his limericks were not neatly written. How could he dare to embarrass himself here?
He retreated sullenly, saying that the Duke of Jin would slowly think of new poems in the future.
"I suddenly had some inspiration, so why not write another song "Zhan Wu Lao" to dedicate to His Majesty,
Fighting in Wulao, moving Heshuo. Adversary help, trying to break the horns. Angry quails, resisting Qiao Yue.
The cute teeth are curled up, and the frost and hail are proud. The king has made an internal decision, and the application is in control.
Spread the Yi, and bind it with the two masters. Fear the Huarong, and seal it briefly.
If you are destined to be evil, be humble enough to cut it. If you are virtuous, you can only realize it first."
Rao music and drumming music and lyrics are actually the same as writing lyrics. The music comes first and then the lyrics. You have to be familiar with the rap music and then fill in the lyrics. Is it difficult to say whether it is difficult or not? Of course there are many restrictions.
Even if Hou Junji studied for three lifetimes, he would not be able to compose any quality music or lyrics, but Wu Huaiyu composed three in a row, and everyone took it for granted.
Everyone high-fived and admired her very much.
Especially for these three lyrics, although he wrote the lyrics for advocating music and has a strong rap style, the content is basically about praising the emperor and praising the Tang Dynasty.
The first song, Tian Khan, talks about the Tang Dynasty destroying the Eastern Turks, and the Tibetan chieftains were bound to Chang'an and presented their prisoners to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. They all presented the title of Tian Khan to the emperor. The second song, Iron Mountain Broken, is about Wu Huaiyu leading the Northern Expedition.
The story of the attack on Tieshan to pursue Jieli is also a record of Li Jing, Wei, Chi Gong, Su Dingfang and others in the Northern Expedition to attack Dingxiang, fight at Baidao, break Tieshan, attack Qikou and capture the chieftains.
As for the third song "Battle at Wulao", it praises Li Shimin's great achievements in fighting Dou Jiande's 100,000 horses with thousands of horses at Wulao Pass.
On today's occasion, when the lyrics of these three rap songs came out, they really suited the occasion and made the emperor very happy.
Hou Junji no longer dared to speak.
Every time Wu Huaiyu composed a song or lyrics, it was like a slap in the face.
The emperor laughed and rejoiced. Today he has averted his previous humiliation and feels proud.
"Preparing an edict,
Li Jing, Wu Huaiyu, and Li Daozong made great achievements in the Northern Expedition. Each of them was given a propaganda department, and Wu Ben was given forty men to hold swords.
Li Ji, Su Dingfang, and Yuchi Gong each gave Wu Ben twenty men to hold swords."
It is extremely rare to be given the encouragement, tiger and sword, and sword during his lifetime. It was quite common in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, but it had not happened in the Tang Dynasty.
Generally speaking, after death, the ministers would give Yu Bao Guan Guan, Hu Ben Ban Swords, etc. to the clan after death. For example, after Princess Li Sanniang of Pingyang died, she was buried with military honors and given Yu Bao Guang Guan, a large coat, a commanding banner, forty Ban Swords, and Tiger Bend Armor Soldiers.
.
Before the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan accepted Zen and proclaimed himself emperor, Sui Emperor Yang You issued an edict to give Tang King Li Yuan swords and shoes to go to the palace.
Even Pei Ji, the leader of the Wude Dynasty officials and the Emperor's confidant, never gave him any encouragement.
The emperor waved to Wu Huaiyu, "Erlang will ride back to the palace with me,"
"The prince is here too," the emperor waved to Cheng Qian again.
Hou Junji stood there and could only watch with envy as Wu Huaiyu got on the emperor's carriage. Among the civil and military officials, this treatment was unique to him.
Hou Junji also wanted to advocate that Ban Jian, his dignified prime minister, and the official minister were not as good as Su Dingfang, a remnant of Hebei who came to join the imperial court only during the Zhenguan Dynasty.
That guy is now the General of the Youtun Guard and the Duke of Linqing County. He has been granted the title of 100 households, and he has also been given the title of twenty tiger warriors holding squad swords. I can't bear it!
