[On the first day of November, please vote for the fourth update. Thank you for your support. I will work harder this month]
Drinking and eating meat during the day, and hunting in your spare time. At night, you go back and carry your woman into the tent. This is the life of the grassland people. Not only on the grassland, it can be said that in the early Tang Dynasty, this was the case for both nobles and slaves in the surrounding foreign countries.
lifestyle.
The only difference is that the nobles can do some human-creation activities at night.
At night, the slaves did more work under the supervision of the whip.
Life in the Tang Dynasty seemed magical. When the envoys came to the Tang Dynasty, this New Year celebration really stimulated them deeply.
First came the fanatical and most fanatical Tang Dynasty.
If the magical shadows and paintings were the magic of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty, then the Games of the Tang Dynasty were the joy of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Especially the long-distance ball game that made people watch the blood boiling made the nobles from foreign countries a little envious of the life of the Tang Dynasty.
.
And today, His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty’s song "About to Enter the Wine" has ignited the fire in the hearts of foreign nobles.
Heroic poetry seems to be the realm of nobility.
A pipa song sings that wine will come.
It turns out that a beautiful woman can not only be carried into a tent and sleep, but also the melody can be sung very well.
Li Yuanxing leaned lazily on the soft cushions. The charcoal fire of the stove was so warm that it made him want to sleep. He squinted his eyes and casually looked towards where the envoys were.
Li Yuanxing was waiting, waiting for him to be asked to speak.
The Shiwei people became rich, and made a huge fortune. They had 20,000 strong cattle, 3,000 beef fans, and 100,000 pigs. They also had 20,000 slaves and 40,000 tribesmen who came to work in the Tang Dynasty. They were exchanged for them.
There was as much food as a mountain, and linen. Not to mention the nobles of Shiwei, even some slaves with higher status had a new piece of clothing in winter.
The people of Shiwei were willing to act as a trustee for Li Yuanxing.
But while Li Yuanxing was waiting for the people from Shiwei to come out and speak, the Khitan King stood up, came to the main stage with a wine glass in his hands, toasted Li Er, and thanked the Tang Dynasty for the kind hospitality.
"Your Majesty, the great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have eighteen sons and twenty-one daughters. I want to select the two bravest sons and the two smartest sons to study in the Tang Dynasty. Learn the sword skills of the Tang Dynasty.
, learn the archery skills of the Tang Dynasty, learn the reading of lyrics of the Tang Dynasty, and learn the rituals and music of the Tang Dynasty!"
King Khitan's words are true, and he does not want to be lying.
Li Er was confused by this sudden request, and he was thinking quickly about the pros and cons in his head.
Generally, this kind of matter should go through Honglu Temple and then be reported to the authorities through formal procedures, where it would be raised directly during the banquet.
Seeing that Li Er seemed to be thinking, Li Yuanxing took up the topic.
"My imperial brother is considering establishing the Datang Royal University, but your sons have never learned any knowledge. Why not send them to the Datang Royal Primary School in Chang'an County to learn some basic knowledge first?"
"Okay, let's learn from the beginning!" King Khitan smiled cheerfully.
Barbarian, barbaric. How can one be considered a barbarian? Seeing the life of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitan King thought that he was a barbarian and that the Tang Dynasty was the civilized people.
"His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. I want to choose my most beautiful daughter to marry his Majesty the Great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. Please agree to my request!"
, actually bent down and gave a salute.
Li Yuanxing's head was about to explode. He married another wife. He wanted to marry another wife!
Crazy, this will drive people crazy!
Li Er didn't care. He was also very satisfied with Li Yuanxing's answer to his study just now. It didn't matter if he had one more woman thrown into the harem. One more woman didn't matter, and one less woman didn't matter.
But Li Yuanxing is different.
This time, before Li Er could speak, Li Yuanxing said hurriedly: "I have a suggestion, why don't you think about it!"
"Please tell me this suggestion, Your Highness, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty!"
"I and my brother have planned to build the Imperial University of the Tang Dynasty. My sister-in-law is also planning to build a college for women of the Imperial Tang Dynasty. The contents taught include poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, music, virtue, benevolence, filial piety, and
Embroidery, parenting and other courses. Why not send your daughter to study here, I will bear all the expenses."
Li Er saw the damn Royal Women's College of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuanxing didn't want to add any more women to his family.
The Khitan King did not expect that women also had so much to learn, and was very shocked.
Not only him, but also the foreign envoys looked here in surprise, wanting to hear what Li Yuanxing would continue to say.
"As for marrying a daughter, the noble daughter of the Khitan King should be qualified to become the royal wife. At the Datang Royal University, there are children of the royal family and children of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many talented people. The Royal University of the Tang Dynasty
The university holds poetry and painting meetings like this every month with the Royal Women's College of the Tang Dynasty."
When Li Yuanxing said this, King Khitan still looked confused.
Li Yuanxing smiled, stood up and walked to the side of the Khitan King: "A warrior of the Khitan clan returns from hunting one day and sees a beautiful woman herding sheep. What will he do?"
King Khitan can answer this question.
"A Khitan warrior would pick a bunch of flowers in the most dangerous place, and then hunt a deer to show his love to a beautiful woman!"
Li Yuanxing pointed to the distance: "Look over there, my eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty, the son of the eldest son, eldest son Chong, is writing a long poem dedicated to my brother's most beautiful daughter, Princess Changle. From acquaintance, to knowing each other, and then to
From falling in love to joining hands for this life. Isn’t this beautiful?”
The Khitan King somewhat understood, but was still a little confused.
"Pursuit, in the words of the Tang Dynasty, is called pursuit. People can pursue their dreams. A soldier dreams of becoming a general. And a man can also pursue his beloved woman and hold her heart tightly.
Put it in your own hands and put it in your own heart!" Li Yuanxing's ability to deceive has greatly improved.
The Khitan King cried, kneeling on the ground and crying loudly.
He suddenly understood what love is.
The King of Khitan cried and told about his love. The love between his wife and him was so simple and simple. The passing of his wife made him sad. Now his women make him unable to feel that kind of trust, and even sometimes
Be careful, even if you sleep at night, keep the knife at hand.
"Love is beautiful! Let your daughter come to the Tang Dynasty and attend the Royal Women's College of the Tang Dynasty. There will be outstanding talents who will dedicate poems and flowers to her. Give them a chance to love, and don't let them become
Gifts, or trading items, the friendship between Datang and Khitan must be maintained with your and my sincerity!"
"King Qin! The noble King Qin of the Tang Dynasty..." King Khitan cried in tears.
Li Yuanxing turned around and looked at Wu Zhao: "Girl, how about I give you a very poignant story."
Wu Zhao held up the hem of her skirt, and a palace maid presented her with an ancient nine-stringed harp!
Her Royal Highness Princess Mingyue wants to play the piano!
I don't know who shouted, and the entire inner courtyard fell silent instantly. Only the Khitan King was still sobbing faintly. Li Er personally comforted him. Such a temperamental man is worth having friends with.
"Butterfly Lovers"
The divine comedy, and the story told by Wu Zhao's sweet voice, made the whole inner courtyard drunk.
Countless noble ladies were clutching their chests with their hands, nervously listening to this poignant story.
At the twelfth minute, the music suddenly stopped, just as Wu Zhao was talking about the part about sending each other off at the eighteenth birthday. Wu Zhao pressed his wrist, and his hands were sore. After all, he was only three years old. A piece of music like Butterfly Lovers is quite difficult.
.
"But it took us all the time to come!" Concubine Yang came to Yuan Wu Zhao in person to massage her wrists.
While Wu Zhao was resting, there was still no sound in the entire inner courtyard. At Li Er's signal, Eunuch Gao brought some fine incense and placed it in front of Wu Zhao's piano.
Not only the inner garden, but also the middle garden became quiet.
Li Yuanxing had no intention of using the speakers, and Li Yuanxing would never do anything without a purpose.
In order not to be silent, Li Yuanxing started to talk: "This story originated from the Jin Dynasty, in what is now Jiangnan Road. The song Mingyue Princess is divided into four sections, with a total of twelve acts. The whole song is a quarter of an hour long." The quarter of an hour Li Yuanxing mentioned is modern.
Half an hour.
"Your Highness, please tell us these twelve scenes!" Yu Shinan asked.
"Okay! In order not to affect Princess Mingyue's music, I will give you a brief explanation."
Twelve acts, respectively: Act 1: Studying in Yingtai. Act 2: Becoming sworn friends in Caoqiao. Act 3: Classmates for three years. Act 4: Mediators in Yingtai. Act 5: Farewell. Act 6: Missing each other.
Act 7 of Yingtai: Shan Bo's visit and blessing. Act 8: Party on the terrace. Act 9: Shan Bo's death. Act 10: Yingtai's cry. Act 11: Forced marriage. Act 12: Praying to the tomb and turning into a butterfly.
Twelve acts!
In order to pursue the effect of playing, Wu Zhao took three breaks. On the third time, Empress Changsun massaged her arms in person.
The court musicians were in the audience, immersed in recording the music score. Several musicians argued over a syllable several times. If Eunuch Gao hadn't stopped them, they might have started fighting.
There are hundreds of people recording the stories told by Wu Zhao.
After Wu Zhao played the last scene and transformed into a butterfly, even Empress Changsun couldn't help crying.
"This song only exists in heaven, but it is rare to hear it in the world!" Li Yuanxing sighed with emotion, and then stole a famous poem from the Tang Dynasty.
The Khitan King made a great gift to Li Er: "I would like to send all my children to study in the Tang Dynasty, and I would like to ask His Highness the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for permission. I, the Khitan, would like to donate thousands of good horses!"
"I'm sure, I will naturally treat your children as Lian's children!" Li Er helped the Khitan King up angrily.
Li Yuanxing said next: "You Khitan nobles can send their children to Chang'an to study. For those who are particularly outstanding, I will teach them the art of war!"
Originally, this pursuit of study attracted the hearts of many foreign envoys.
When Li Yuanxing taught him the art of war, it was like adding a bundle of dry firewood to the pot of water that was about to boil, which made the envoys really excited. What is the art of war? The most mysterious, magical and powerful weapon of the Han nation.
The kings of Tang and Qin fought against the Turks, that is the magic of the Han people’s art of war! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
