Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

The prime ministers first entered the Daming Palace from the waiting courtyard, and the remaining ministers followed the prime ministers and entered the palace in a neat row.

Hanyuan Hall is the largest hall in Daming Palace, but it is impossible to accommodate all the officials in Chang'an.

Only officials from the fifth rank and above are eligible to enter the Hanyuan Hall and participate in the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting.

The remaining officials, such as seventh-rank officials like Wang Chengwei, stood in the corridor of the eaves of the palace of Hanyuan Palace to participate in the grand ceremony of Hanyuan Palace.

The Zhengdan Grand Court will also invite the envoys of the tributary countries, and the envoys of the feudal towns will enter the hall, so after Wang Chengwei stood under the eaves, Shang Bo led Wei Yuan into the Hanyuan Hall.

On the other side, many officials looked curiously at the stage set up on the square outside the Hanyuan Hall. Yesterday's Nuo dance was over, so why set up this stage outside the Hanyuan Hall?
At this time, the stage was covered with a cloth, and it was impossible to see what it was for. The curious young official had just stretched out his head, but was scared back by the patrolling censor coughing.

When Shang Bo walked into the Hanyuan Hall, the hall was already full of officials in red and purple official robes.

Under the imperial steps, several adult princes of the emperor stood, and a bead curtain was set up on one side of the main hall, and behind them sat the princess and wives.

As the envoy of the King of Yue, Shang Bo could only stand in the last row of envoys.

The envoys of these Jiedu envoys from Shangbo are quite normal. Those envoys from the small tributary countries all wear their own country's national costumes, and even topless savage costumes.

After all the officials stood still, Li Fuguo went to the foot of the imperial steps and shouted: "The auspicious time has come! Your Majesty goes to court!"

Only the Ninth Five-Year Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor Li Heng, came in from the main hall and walked slowly along the imperial steps to the dragon chair.

Li Heng wore the emperor's crown with twelve eaves and a dragon robe that was only worn on formal occasions. He sat high on the throne and looked at the officials in front of him.

Li Fuguo shouted again: "All ministers, thanks!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Under the leadership of the prime ministers, the ministers recited Long Live to the emperor, and formally performed a grand ceremony of worship.

The etiquette and law of the Tang Dynasty were not as strict as those of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. On weekdays, the prime minister and the emperor did not have to bow down when discussing matters.

But the Zhengdan Grand Court is an important annual ceremony, and the prime minister also pays homage. This majestic kneeling official made Li Heng feel that every inch of his pores were stretched.

It's no wonder that the emperor likes these grand ceremonies the most. Sitting on the throne and accepting the worship of his ministers is really the most enjoyable thing in the world!
After all the ministers paid their respects, Li Heng said: "The emperor caught a cold a few days ago. Although the imperial doctor has diagnosed him, he is very tired, so the emperor will not be present at the court meeting today."

It was expected that the emperor would not attend the Great Court Meeting. Since returning to Chang'an, the emperor has never been out of Xingqing Palace except to pay homage to the tomb of his son Yongwang.

The emperor withdrew from almost all political activities in Chang'an, which also made many ministers breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, there is no second day, and Datang really can't stand the toss.

Without the presence of the emperor, there was no trouble in terms of etiquette, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were also relieved.

Next, the emperor summed up the major events of the two years of Zhide with a four-six parallel prose edict.

Moved from Lingwu to Fengxiang Mansion, quelled the rebellion along the way, and finally regained the two capitals and returned the capital to Chang'an. He is the master of ZTE.

It's just that the emperor's parallel prose edict was only half read, and it was given to Li Fuguo to read aloud. There was a brief commotion among the officials, and everyone was worried about the emperor's physical condition.

After all, Li Heng was known for his weak health before he ascended the throne, and it took too much effort to put down the chaos. In the past few months, news of the emperor's poor health has spread widely.

Shangbo still has first-hand information on this matter. According to Princess Yanguang, the emperor's headaches have become much more serious these days, even to the point where he cannot handle government affairs.

The emperor could only give the imperial edict to Li Fuguo to read aloud, and then asked Empress Zhang to write down his opinions and send them to the officials again.

The most serious thing was that the emperor fainted during a meeting with the prime ministers. Although the imperial doctor diagnosed him as fine afterwards, the prime ministers had been on duty in the palace for a week, which showed that the prime ministers were worried about the emperor's health.

After Li Fuguo finished reading the imperial edict, Li Heng opened his eyes.

After summarizing, the next step is the highlight of this Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting, the part of presenting gifts to the emperor.

This year's Zhengdan Dynasty Conference is even more meaningful. This is the first Zhengdan Dynasty Conference held by the emperor in Hanyuan Hall after the Tang army made great strides to recover the two capitals.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on the crown prince and King Qi.

According to the order, first the tributaries of the foreign vassals presented gifts to the emperor, then the officials and ministers presented gifts, and finally the princes presented gifts.

Just when the Uighur envoy stepped out, he heard a female voice behind the bead curtain saying:
"Father, the ministers and daughters have played."

Everyone looked at Zhulian, and it turned out that it was Princess Yanguang who said to the emperor.

Princess Yanguang said: "My daughter rehearsed a song and dance, and I want to present it to my father, please allow me to be the first to present a gift."

It is normal for the Zhengdan court to present music and dances to the emperor. Princess Yanguang is the emperor's daughter, so it is understandable to present such a gift.

Li Heng is also in a good mood, he is very satisfied that his daughter has such filial piety, and he heard that Princess Yanguang was rehearsing this music and dance before returning to Chang'an, which made Li Heng feel that his daughter is paying attention.

"Prelude!"

The emperor issued a decree, and Li Fuguo stood on the imperial steps and shouted: "Princess Zhun Yanguang will come and sing and dance!"

The eunuch standing at the entrance of the main hall then shouted: "Princess Zhun Yanguang is here to present singing and dancing!"

The eunuchs sent messages one by one, and their voices echoed in the square outside the Hanyuan Hall. After receiving the order from the officers of the Shence Army guarding the palace gate, they opened the palace gate. Yu Xiaoxiao and Su Nuan led the music and dance troupe into the Hanyuan Hall. on the square.

The little eunuchs rushed into the square and took away the cloth covering the stage. Eunuch Mu turned on the camera. The eunuchs rehearsed this action of uncovering the cloth no less than ten times. In terms of the uniformity of the performance, even later generations The old Mouzi will bow down in Datang.

Wang Chengwei, who was standing outside the main hall, saw the musical instruments hidden under the cover. A device composed of copper pipes like a hill appeared on the square outside the Hanyuan Hall. The young officials looked at this device suspiciously. what is this?Is this an instrument?
Looking at this strange device made of copper pipes, Wang Chengwei couldn't help but feel that players can play it.

When Su Nuan proposed the idea of ​​replacing the bell with a piano, it was quickly rejected by the players.

How can a piano replace the rich timbres of chimes and bells?

Moreover, there was no loudspeaker device in this era, playing the piano on the square outside the Hanyuan Hall, the sound could not be heard inside the Hanyuan Hall.

Are you really looking for a musician who plays the bell?

At this time, Lu Hang put forward his own new suggestion.

Lu Hang is a player who opened a musical instrument shop in Longyou, and the pianos in Su Nuan Pipa Shop were designed and installed by Lu Hang.

Lu Hang's suggestion is, since the piano is not good enough, build a pipe organ on the square outside Hanyuan Hall!

As a musical instrument lover, if there is any musical instrument that is the most difficult to access and manufacture in reality, it must be the organ.

Most of the musical instruments, as long as you have certain hands-on ability and a little knowledge of music theory, you can make a similar one.

But the pipe organ is different. This thing first needs a place.

As a religious instrument, the early pipe organs were embedded in churches.

The whole church is the resonance cavity of the pipe organ!
Other musical instruments are played indoors, and the pipe organ is simply a building!
As an obsessed musical instrument lover, Lu Hang's biggest dream is to DIY a pipe organ by himself.

But in the real world, this dream will probably never come true.

After all, the value of a pipe organ in reality is tens of millions, not to mention the value of the buildings and land that can put down the pipe organ.

But Lu Hang did not expect that he would have the opportunity to realize his dream in the game.

Su Nuan reported this plan to the princess, and Princess Yanguang used her savings to support Lu Hang's plan to manufacture pipe organs in Datang.

After working in the game for a month, and with Guo Ping's help, this huge pipe organ, which is placed in the center of the Hanyuan Temple square and has the entire Hanyuan Temple square as its resonant cavity, was finally designed and manufactured.

Lu Hang didn't even have a chance to adjust it, so he hurriedly set up this pipe organ on the square of Hanyuan Hall.

Su Nuan was also quite excited, being able to play this king of musical instruments with her own hands, she didn't even have the chance to touch the organ in reality, let alone make a special organ for her to play.

Su Nuan and the musicians stepped onto the accompaniment stage first, and twenty young eunuchs gathered under the pipe organ. They pulled up the lever of the bellows and began to inject air into the pipes of the pipe organ.

Su Nuan pressed the keys, and the first note jumped out of the sound pipe. Under the rebound and superposition of the palace wall of Hanyuan Palace, a magnificent note jumped out.

The monarchs and ministers sitting in the hall were also amazed by the forceful tone of this note.

At this time, other musicians also began to play, and the rapid sound of the pipa and the simple sound of the sheng resounded in the square, but they could not stop the majestic notes of the pipe organ.

As the playing became more and more rapid, and the rumbling drums also sounded, Li Heng felt that he was on the battlefield, facing the enemy's large formation, and the chilling atmosphere made the battle imminent.

Musical notes like gold and stone echoed in the square, drumbeats accompanied by footsteps, and a group of dancers in bright silver armor stepped onto the stage on the square.

The emperor stood up from the throne and said to Li Fuguo, "I'm going to look outside the palace!"
