Chapter 40 The Royal Dance

Chapter 40 Royal Dance

Looking around, there is a huge Taoist temple in front of me, covering a huge area, with many pavilions, pavilions, gardens, flowers and plants, and it is very grand. There is a high wall on the outside. This is not the place where monks cultivate their body and nature, it is clearly the royal villa.

Listening to Chen Zairong and the others' surprise words, Chen Wanrong was not sure. Fortunately, Chen Zairong knew him and explained to Chen Wanrong: "Brother, this Yuzhen Temple was specially built by the emperor for Princess Yuzhen. Speaking of Princess Yuzhen, it is actually very pitiful. Not long after he was born, Empress Zetian Shunsheng's maid Tuaner falsely accused Concubine De of Concubine Zetian Shunsheng day and night, and Empress Zetian Shunsheng killed Concubine De in anger, and the remains of the corpse has not been found yet."

Concubine De's surname is Dou, and is Li Longji, Princess Jinxian, the biological mother of Princess Zhen. She died innocently and was never found where the body was abandoned. After Emperor Xuanzong of Tang became emperor, he issued several orders to search but failed to find it.

In the palace, there were many bloody bloodshots. In order to become the emperor, Wu Zetian even started killing her. There was countless innocent people killed by her. It was no wonder. Chen Wanrong looked around and saw that there was no one near him. Only then did he feel relieved. Ma Gao and the other were busy instructing their friends to move things, set up oil curtains, and prepare to camp here.

"Brother, don't worry, no one, I'm watching, how can I say such things in front of others?" Chen Zairong was very vigilant, and then said: "Last year, Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian decided to pray for their mother and became a monk. The emperor repeatedly persuaded them ineffectively and issued an order to build two Taoist temples for them. At that time, it was the busy farming season, and the people had to put down their farm work to practice Taoist temples, which caused the ministers in the court to write a letter saying, "Your Majesty loves two girls, and creates two Taoist temples, burns tiles and transports wood, and fills sand. The rumors on the road all said that they use a million yuan.' While encouraging all officials to write a letter, the emperor issued an order to continue practicing Taoist temples."

Chen Wanrong laughed silently. This Ruizong had no achievements in history, and was not as incompetent as people imagined. There were still some means. It doesn’t matter if you want to advise. Not only will I not punish you, but I also encourage you, but I just won’t execute it. I have no charge of “refusing to advise” and preserved the relationship between father and daughter. It is really a good means.

"It took nearly a year to practice the Taoist temple. On the day of the completion of the temple, the emperor personally arrived and praised the two princesses." Chen Zairong frowned and commented: "The emperor likes the two princesses. It's natural for him to be wrong. It's just that the people are working hard to cultivate such a big Taoist temple, so there is no need to."

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "After Rong, don't say these words in the future. The emperor loves his daughter very much, and it goes without saying that the emperor misses Concubine De, loves the house and the Wu, and loves the two princesses very much."

"Brother, I understand." Chen Zairong also knew that these words would inevitably cause great disasters if they were heard by others: "The prince and the golden immortal, Princess Yuzhen, were born with a mother. They had a strong relationship and often had a visit to the Taoist temples of the two princesses. Whenever the prince came, the princess would prepare musical instruments and dancers. Whenever the prince came, the prince would make a sound of music and singing. The prince would be superb in music and drums. Whenever the prince played, the people would watch outside, and there would be crowds of people."

Li Longji's outstanding musical talent is unreasonable, but it is not easy to attract people to listen to. Chen Wanrong then realized it. He only felt that Yu Zhen's name was very familiar, and seemed to have heard it somewhere. He asked casually: "What is Princess Yu Zhen's name?"

Although Chen Zairong didn't understand Chen Wanrong's intention, he still replied: "Princess Yuzhen's name is Jiying."

Chen Wanrong slapped his forehead and remembered that this Princess Yuzhen was the one in the poem "Yuzhen Immortal's Poem". Chen Wanrong remembered this poem "Yuzhen's Immortal, I went to Taihua Peak. In the morning, I sang the sky drum and sang the two dragons. I kept making electric power, and I had no trace of the clouds. When will I enter the young room, and the Queen Mother should meet each other."

The poetic immortal was called a poetic immortal to later generations. There was a sense of elegance in the poem, but not many poems were written specifically for monks. This poem "The Poems of Yuzhen Immortal" is one of these few poems, which was deeply impressed by Chen Wanrong.

According to the development of history, this Princess Yuzhen highly praised the poet. It was she who repeatedly introduced Li Bai to Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. The poet was able to become an official in the court, and to ask Gao Lishi to take off his boots and the drunk grass scare manshu to spread popular stories such as popular stories.

It’s a pity that the talented Li Bai is only in his teens now, and it will take many years for the two to know each other. Chen Wanrong felt very sorry for not being able to witness the legend of the Immortal Literature Garden.

After understanding the whole story, Chen Wanrong and his brothers no longer stayed away and spoke to themselves, helping to move things. Gao Ma and his two are very good at choosing places, choosing at a high place, which is a little far from the Taoist temple and cannot see clearly. This is the only shortcoming.

After putting the things in, everyone started to work together, supported the oil curtain, and then moved the things in. Gao Dean asked the guy to drive the car back to Chang'an and send some food. The wine came over. The prince usually performed at night. Now he only prepared a meal of food, so naturally it was not enough and he had to buy it again.

The guy took the order and left. It was a silence. It was still a long time before it was dark. If it weren't for Li Longji's name and wanted to appreciate his outstanding musical talent, Chen Wanrong really didn't do it.

The facts proved that this method of silence was no longer correct. Not long after, the observers came and the originally empty wilderness suddenly became lively. These people who came from the news were extremely excited, which made Chen Wanrong think that fans in modern society could not eat or sleep in order to see the idol's style. Unexpectedly, there were so many "fans" in Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty.

After waiting for a while, it was very boring. Gao Ma and the other two discussed the business alliance. Chen Wanrong gave them some advice. At noon, Gao Dean took out the food and everyone had eaten it. Then Gao Dean suggested that he had a good sleep and keep his energy in mind, and that the prince would play well in the evening. This proposal was immediately responded by Chen Zairong and Ma Zhizhong, and fell into the oil curtain and fell asleep and took a nap.

Everyone was preparing for the performance. Chen Wanrong was bored and had to sleep. He was sleeping and woke up a song. When he opened his eyes, he saw Chen Zairong and Gao Ma and his eyes were blurred. He half opened his eyes and muttered, "The prince played? It's still early."

Chen Zairong reacted quickly and said, "No, it's the tourists who are bored waiting and singing."

When I came out of the oil curtain, I saw that there were already oil curtains in the wild, and there were no less than a thousand people who came to see it. Many of them held hands and hit the ground with their feet and were singing. It turned out that they were bored and had fun.

Many people came from all directions, and at this speed, they guessed that there would probably be thousands of people at night, and the news spread so quickly.

A group of Imperial College students rushed over excitedly, Gao Jian, Zheng Wanru, Zheng Qing and his daughter were among them. Chen Zairong was sharp-eyed and saw it first, and he touched Chen Wanrong: "Brother, Aunt Zheng, Sister Zheng and others are here."

Chen Wanrong looked in the direction he pointed out, and saw Zheng Qing walking among the Imperial College students holding her mother, pretty, like Lingbo's fairy, and particularly conspicuous. I really didn't expect them to come too, Chen Wanrong greeted her and smiled and said, "Auntie, you are here too."

Zheng Zhou smiled and said, "How rare is the voice of the prince? How can I not come?"

"Brother Chen, you are here too. I'll just say that, how can Brother Chen not come for such a good thing?" Zheng Qing was so crisp that she was very happy to see Chen Wanrong.

Gao Jian and Zheng Wanru were busy coming to see the ceremony. After the ceremony, Chen Wanrong invited them to go upstairs. Gao Ma and the Zheng mother and daughter had seen the ceremony. Zheng Qing and the others brought the oil curtain, so Chen Wanrong naturally wanted to help them. Gao Jian and the Imperial College students all looked excited, and they set up the oil curtain next to Chen Wanrong and the others.

After finishing his work, Gao Jian came over and said, "Brother Chen, let's sing."

Singing is all right, but Chen Wanrong doesn’t know a single line of the popular lyrics of the Tang Dynasty. Isn’t this a difficult person? Chen Wanrong smiled and said, “You sing.”

Gao Jian smiled and said, "Brother Chen doesn't sing, what's the point of singing this song?"

Zheng Wanru immediately agreed: "That's it! We have appreciated Brother Chen's poetry and should also appreciate Brother Chen's singing."

If Chen Wanrong sang a modern song, at least he would not go out of tune. Tangren's songs would be troublesome. He didn't even know the lyrics. He talked about the voice and said with a smile: "You sing, you sing."

The student of the Imperial College is in his prime and passionate. He has long held hands and formed a semicircle. Zheng Wanru pulled Gao Jian with his left hand and his mother with his right hand. Gao Jian held Chen Zairong with the other hand. Chen Zairong held Chen Zairong without thinking. He kept going to battle and never left his father and son soldiers, and fought with his own brothers. Chen Zairong didn't pull Chen Wanrong, who else could he pull?

In this regard, Chen Wanrong had to join, so he had to hold Chen Zairong's hand. Before he could pull anyone with his left hand, he held it with a soft and warm little hand. When he saw that it was no one else, it was Zheng Qing, who was smiling and looking at him.

Chen Wanrong smiled and gently held her jade hand. The Imperial College Student, Chen Wanrong, brothers, Zheng Qing and daughter, and Gao Ma, surrounded them hand in hand, and dozens of people occupied a lot of space.

The Tang Dynasty was strong and the people lived a good life, which made tourism become a trend. Tourists did not simply visit famous scenic spots and rivers, explore famous mountains and rivers, go out for a walk, enjoy flowers, worship Buddhas in ancient temples, and also held some cultural and entertainment activities during the tour, such as horns, fighting cocks, swings, cuju, playing polo, singing, and joining, as long as the conditions are available.

They are singing, people holding hands, hitting the ground with their feet, stepping out the rhythm, and then singing popular lyrics, which are melodious and melodious. The famous line of the poet "Li Bai is about to walk on a boat, but suddenly he hears the sound of singing on the shore". In the poem "singing" is a very popular entertainment activity in the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Wanrong and Zheng Qing were closest to each other. Listening to her melodious and melodious songs was not necessarily worse than singers. Her singing was the most wonderful, and naturally became the leader of everyone. She only heard her singing: "The precious trees in the brocade banquet are the atmosphere of the colorful ones. She looks at the slight moon on the Yaotai and scatters the morning clouds on Wushan. Youth is unmatched, let alone the beauty of the beauty. Who can appreciate the fragrance of the fragrance? She complains about the peerless and unknown. The red and green beauty sits and watches, and the passing years are not waiting for you. Therefore, I think of the Qi tree in Kunlun and hate the colorful peach and plum blossoms."

This is the "Song of Colorful Trees" by Chen Zi'ang, a great poet in the early Tang Dynasty. Chen Zi'ang opened up a generation of poetry style, laying the foundation for the prosperity of Tang poetry. He wrote many poems throughout his life, especially "No ancients in front of him, no comers in the future" is a masterpiece that lasted for thousands of years. His poems were widely circulated in the Tang Dynasty and could be sung in many ways.

The students of the Imperial College are all in their twenties and like to play the game the most. It’s not bad to start singing. They all sing with Zheng Ming with their voices. The song spreads from afar, attracting the attention of those tourists.

There are already many tourists singing, but they are not as hard as they work hard and sing with great momentum. Anyway, everyone is bored and singing and relieving boredom is also a kind of fun. Their singing is exactly what they like, and many people join them and sing with them.

One person sang, thousands of people were in harmony. After a while, the whole wilderness was drowned for the songs. Before Li Longji could perform, he became lively and was not afraid of losing the main character.

It was very lively outside, and the people in the Taoist temple had no intervention at all. You sing yours, I am mine, and the palace ladies were still busy with theirs. This is the princess’ “practice of Taoism”. She was so noisy that she would not disturb the princess’s cultivation. Princess Yuzhen did not send anyone to drive away the tourists. This mind is still admirable.

There were many songs that were sung after song, but I don’t know how many songs I sang, but suddenly the song was interrupted by a thunderous sound of hooves. Chen Wanrong looked around and saw a team of troops coming from Chang'an. They were tall, bright and shiny, and they were extremely majestic. They fought with horses under their crotch, like dragons, horses like tigers, and as powerful as rainbows.

Chen Wanrong had seen the imperial guards guarding the city in Chang'an, but he had never seen such a majestic Tang army. He couldn't help but be surprised. He only heard Chen Zairong say in surprise: "Longwu Army, Longwu Army, brother, it's Longwu Army!"

Chen Wanrong didn't know what kind of army the Longwu Army was, but from Chen Zairong's surprise, we can imagine that it must be an army that can fight well. Chen Zairong said extremely excitedly: "Brother, the Longwu Army came from the hundred cavalry selected by Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong personally selected hundreds of cavalry as his personal army, and gradually expanded the Chenglongwu Army."

It turned out to be related to Emperor Taizong of Tang, no wonder he was so excited, even Chen Wanrong was a little excited. Although Emperor Taizong of Tang passed away, his heroic deeds were still encouraging.

When the Longwu Army arrived in front of the Taoist temple, they immediately divided into two groups like water, surrounding the Taoist temple. Those people close to the Taoist temple ran like ducks until they were twenty feet away. The Longwu Army stood guard against the Taoist temple.

"Brother, the emperor is here! I really didn't expect it!" Chen Zairong had already seen the signs and said, "If the emperor hadn't come, he wouldn't have sent out the Dragon Martial Army's escort!"

This is the clearing of the scene. The emperor arrived. How important it was. It was already rare to only raise a cordon of twenty feet and not drive away all the tourists in the wild.

"Isn't you going to take the car?" Chen Wanrong thought that according to the etiquette, if Ruizong arrives, everyone here should kneel down to greet him.

Chen Zairong smiled and said, "No. Brother, look, the emperor is unwilling to disturb the people. He does not ride a dragon chariot, but comes by a light carriage. What the emperor dislikes the most is disturbing the people. If we welcome the carriage, he will be unhappy."

Ruizong was mediocre and had no achievements in history. He was not willing to disturb the people. It was really good. It was convinced. Although he was not a good emperor, he was a good person! Ruizong was "gracious and respectful, peaceful and convenient", and was low-key in his work. This kind of dealing with him was reasonable.

A group of people came out of the Taoist temple and welcomed Ruizong in with three kneeling and nine kowtows. The sound of long live was heard. The temple was solemn and solemn, but the tourists outside the temple were watching lively and had no respect at all. If Ruizong knew that his prestige was so low in the eyes of the people, what would he think?

As soon as the sound of long live, the sound of "I've seen the prince" sounded. It turned out that Li Longji came with Ruizong. When he heard the prince arrive, the tourists who were originally watching the fun no longer laughed, their faces were a little more solemn, and their eyes were more eager. I don't know whether they respected the prince or wanted to listen to the prince's performance earlier.

After a while of struggle in the view, it finally became quiet. Unfortunately, the silence did not last long. Another army appeared on Chang'an Road, with vehicles connected, crowns and caps facing each other, and flags fluttering. I don't know how many people came.

Chen Wanrong looked at the way he came and saw the word "Taiping" on the flag. Chen Zairong whispered in his ear: "Brother, it's Princess Taiping here."

Princess Taiping is so powerful that she is the most powerful person under Ruizong. Even the prince does not have her power, so no wonder she has such a big style.

The tourists were surprised, and many people even shouted "Princess Qiansheng" and knelt down to greet him, feeling more sincere than seeing Ruizong.

In Chen Zairong's eyes, the prince is the orthodox. It was wrong for these people to greet them like this, and he couldn't help but frown and angry. Chen Wanrong was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he pulled him hard in his hand and whispered in his ear: "Zairong, don't be reckless!"

Taking a breath and calming down, Chen Zairong nodded, and the anger on his face dissipated.

For Chen Wanrong, no matter how awesome Princess Taiping is now, she will be killed by Li Longji for a long time and she doesn't care at all. She thought to herself that the emperor is here, the prince is here, and Princess Taiping is here, and these three most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty are gathered together. This small Taoist temple will be staged. There is a good show. Open and secret struggle, I don't know how exciting it is!

Not long after Princess Taiping entered the Taoist temple, a pleasant sound of silk and bamboo came from the Taoist temple. The tourists were excited and said in a lingering manner: "It's beginning!"
