Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 668
Now that Yu Chixin put forward the policy of attacking Taiyuan first and attacking the city as the bottom, he changed his low-key stance before the change in Hedong and began to carry out high-profile military operations.

First of all, Yu Chixin sent a letter of persuasion to Shi Chaoyi, who was besieging the city of Qingzhou, in which he told Shi Chaoyi that Liaodong and Fan Yang had all fallen into the hands of the Tang army. If Shi Chaoyi surrendered obediently now, he would be given another chance. , they can only end up with An Qingxu!

Yuchixin played the banner of Wang Xuanzhi, the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, and attached a letter of persuasion written by Tian Chengsi, who had donated Zhuozhou City.

Yuchixin's letter was not only sent to Qingzhou, but also to Shi Siming's army who was fighting fiercely in the Central Plains. !

At the same time, the Yanzhou regiment training envoy Zhang Wu suddenly sent troops, and the army drove straight into Zizhou, completely cutting off Shi Chaoyi's logistics supply line outside Qingzhou city.

And Nan Jiyun, who had been shrinking in Qingzhou City during this time, also suddenly launched an attack. He rode a white horse and led five hundred elite cavalry into Shi Chaoyi's army, plundered wantonly and fled away.

When the news reached Chang'an, the court was shocked!

Wang Xuanzhi, the military governor of Pinglu, was only a military general with little reputation in the court. At that time, there was turmoil in Pinglu, and the imperial court granted Wang Xuanzhi the post of military governor just to disgust Hedong.

Later, when Shi Chaoyi attacked Pinglu, Pinglu lost contact with the Central Plains, and everyone in the government and the public thought that Wang Xuanzhi was dead.

Unexpectedly, not only did Wang Xuanzhi not die, but he also created a powerful battle, and now he has announced to the world that Shi Siming's lair, Fan Yang, has been broken, and he is targeting Taiyuan, an important town in the east of the river!

It’s incredible!
For such an important military situation, of course, the Ministry of War could not immediately believe it, but another piece of news seemed to verify Wang Xuanzhi's good news.

Shi Chaoyi, who was originally in front of Tongguan, suddenly separated an army of 5 people, withdrew from Tongguan in a hurry, and hurried north.

Some of the refugees who went south from Fan Yang also verified Yu Chixin's letter of success, Fan Yang is really recovered now!

The three towns of Hedong and the two towns of Fanyang, Pinglu all announced their recovery and belonged to Datang again.

Li Heng shouted excitedly: "There are loyal ministers in the Tang Dynasty!"

After grasping the news, Guo Ziyi of Tongguan and Zhang Xun of Luoyang took the initiative to attack and defeated Shi Siming at Tongguan. Shi Siming withdrew to Huayin in a hurry, and then re-stabilized the line of defense.

Guo Ziyi and Zhang Xun joined forces again, and the two sides regained the front to the south of the Yellow River, and the Bianhe Water Transport was once again in the hands of Datang.

In early June, the situation changed suddenly, and the Shi Siming rebellion in Anlu Mountain, which swept the country, finally saw the light of day.

At this time, the siege of Chengdu was lifted, and the Tubo army that besieged Lanzhou retreated, so the two news also spread to Chang'an.

The people of Chang'an completely forgot the chaos caused by the new money law and took to the streets to celebrate.

Li Heng also decreed to lift the three-day curfew, allowing the people to go out and celebrate at night.

The people of Chang'an spontaneously gathered in the square in front of the Xingqing Palace to celebrate, and the major restaurants in Chang'an also announced that they would be exempt from the drink fee for one day, so that the people could celebrate Fan Yang's great victory!
Hearing such a great victory, Emperor Li Longji, who was in the Xingqing Palace, was also overjoyed.

Since Gao Lishi was sent out to inspect the ancestral tomb, Li Longji's mood was depressed for a while.

Gao Lishi has served Li Longji for so many years, and he is most familiar with his diet and daily life. When Gao Lishi fled to Sichuan, Gao Lishi was inseparable. Li Longji is not used to the life without Gao Lishi by his side.

But it was related to his future burial mausoleum, so Li Longji could only reluctantly send Gao Lishi out.

Without Gao Lishi's company, Li Longji's life was even more boring. Except for some old subordinates, such as Chen Xuanli, who went to and from Xingqing Palace, Li Longji spent the rest of his time training actors.

Li Longji is a versatile emperor. He is not only proficient in temperament, but the Jiegu played by Li Longji is a must in Chang'an.

And Li Longji is also good at dancing. He will dance the Huxuan dance himself at every celebration, and invite all officials to dance together.

It has to be said that during the reign of the emperor, he was indeed more active than when the ailing king Li Heng was in power. This is the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Li Longji set up a pear garden in the Daming Palace, taught the palace people rhythm and dance, and rehearsed several popular operas all over the world.

However, when An Lushan entered Chang'an, most of the Liyuan disciples also dispersed. After the emperor returned to Chang'an, Emperor Li Heng recruited the original Liyuan disciples in Chang'an in order to please his father, and recruited some actors in Chang'an City, and sent them to Xingqing The palace relieved the emperor.

In order to relieve boredom, Li Longji also wrote and choreographed these actors himself. One of them, Wu Yang, was the most favored by Li Longji.

Wu Yang, the player, was originally a student of a top drama academy. According to his normal life trajectory, he worked hard to get admitted to a drama troupe when necessary, and then continued to pursue his artistic dream with a salary of several thousand a month.

It's just that when Wu Yang's dream was competing for a local theater troupe, a certain young actor who came to Gilded gave up his salary, and the theater company offered Wu Yang a monthly salary of 3000 without a salary.

As soon as he thought that the young actor didn't need to work in the troupe and could occupy the staff he dreamed of, Wu Yang resolutely rejected the troupe's invitation.

Just happened to meet the Datang Fengyun public test, Wu Yang applied for it casually, and was lucky enough to get the test qualification.

Wu Yang is considered a six-test player, and has not caught up with the benefits of the previous waves of tests.

There is no way to become popular like Su Nuan and Yu Xiaoxiao and become a first-line Internet celebrity, but relying on the unique style of ancient dramas, she can also get rewards from some netizens, and her life is much more comfortable than in a theater troupe.

As a student of the Academy of Drama, Wu Yang still has a strong interest in Li Longji, the ancestor of Liyuanhang.

Although Peking Opera only appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, Li Longji is also recognized as the founder of Peking Opera. Almost all traditional operas regard Li Longji as the founder of Peking Opera.

Although the Academy of Drama does not worship ancestors in the background like ancient theater troupes, Li Longji is also a topic that cannot be avoided when talking about the origin of ancient drama history.

After entering Chang'an, Wu Yang also performed several times in Su Nuan's pipa shop, and the effect was naturally unprecedented.

Compared with pipa playing and dancing, the entertainment form of drama naturally attracts more audiences.

Both pure music and dance require a certain level of music appreciation, but the art of drama itself has its own plot, and it is an art form that appeals to both refined and popular tastes.

Wu Yang became famous in the pipa trade. Later, the emperor searched for actors in Chang'an, and sent Wu Yang and other actors in Chang'an City to Xingqing Palace.

Wu Yang was quickly noticed by Li Longji in the Xingqing Palace, and Li Longji became very interested in the "home town drama" performed by Wu Yang.

After figuring out some basic elements of Peking Opera, Li Longji praised Wu Yang's "Small Hometown Drama"!
Li Longji even personally wrote an excerpt for Wu Yang, trained musicians to accompany him, and even acted as an old student himself, and set up a play with Wu Yang.

Wu Yang recorded this drama and posted it on the Internet, which immediately gained tens of millions of views and made a lot of money.

After the news of Fan Yang's victory reached Chang'an this time, Li Longji was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

"God bless the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Longji even called the musicians, lit the lights of the Huae Building and danced a piece of Qin Wang's Breaking the Array.

After the dance, Li Longji directly asked for a pen and paper to write a play overnight.

This play is about the story of Taizong Li Shimin coming out of Tongguan to defeat Dou Jiande's army and attacking Luoyang. Li Longji intercepted Taizong's plan to attack Luoyang. .

Li Longji named the play "Triumph", and personally called Wu Yang and other actors to rehearse.

After a day of hasty rehearsal, Li Longji personally played the role of Taizong and set up a stage on Huae Tower, which immediately attracted a large number of people.

Since Li Longji became obsessed with Peking Opera, he often set up a stage to sing on the Huae Building, and the common people were also happy to watch in the square.

It happened that the news of the great victory reached Chang'an, and the people gathered in front of the Xingqing Palace, and immediately waited excitedly in the square to watch the play.

The stage was set up until night. These three days coincided with the lifting of the curfew by the imperial court, and more and more people gathered in the square of Xingqing Palace. Wang Chengwei, the magistrate of Wannian County, was afraid of being trampled on the square, so he sent yamen servants to maintain order at the scene.

At eight o'clock in the evening, torches were also lit on the stage, illuminating the stage brightly, and Li Longji, who was dressed in a bright light armor costume, painted his face and stepped onto the stage.

I have to say that Li Longji is in good health, and he performed well in both singing, reading, and playing. The story of Taizong's breaking Dou Jiande was originally a famous story in Chang'an. Once Li Longji sang, everyone knew what he was performing.

This excerpt lasted only one hour. When Taizong defeated Dou and built the German army, the people cheered, as if the Tang army would soon be like Taizong, smashing Shi Siming's rebel army and bringing the world back to unity.

When the whole excerpt was over, Li Longji washed off his facial makeup and put on costumes and stepped onto the stage. The people at the scene once again chanted long live in unison, and some old people in Chang'an even knelt on the ground and kowtowed in tears.

After the stage was removed, Li Heng in the Daming Palace got a report from the Dongchang newspaper, and the Dongchang banner even recorded all the libretto.

Li Heng once again sighed with emotion that Xiao Muzi handled things quickly. After reading the report, Li Heng's face became even more ugly.
