God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 9 Pretending in front of the ministers 13
"Come here, get me a pipa!"

At this time, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun looked at each other, they must be thinking in their hearts, when will Li Chengqian know how to play the pipa, and Li Chengqian has never been to the Yuefu to learn any musical instruments, how can this be a demonstration?

Taking advantage of the absence of the pipa, Li Chengqian first said: "I have watched the craftsmen pluck the strings of the pipa more than once countless times, and I also know that the four strings can produce more than ten thousand kinds of sounds...so I also pluck the strings in my spare time. After crossing this string, I realized a new way of playing."

He was talking nonsense, and everyone was stunned when they heard it, as if they believed it.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian was a musician before time travelling, and he was proficient in the guitar. The pipa and the guitar still have something in common. He had tried it before, and he had seen a master perform it on a certain website.

Soon, the pipa was picked up. This one is a red lacquered pipa, and the whole shape is very beautiful.

It's just that these things are like giants in front of Li Chengqian.

It was a bit difficult for him to even pick it up, but it caused everyone to laugh.

If Li Shimin was not here, I am afraid they would have laughed out loud.

"This……"

Empress Changsun felt distressed and tried to help, but was stopped by Li Shimin.

"Let Gao Ming do it himself, I, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, will be responsible for what I say!"

Li Shimin's strictness is well known.

However, Li Chengqian didn't ask for help. This was his business, so it shouldn't be looked down upon.

If it was before, this weight is really nothing, but the eight-year-old child is indeed a little hard, but fortunately, he found a relatively stable point and put the pipa horizontally.

Unexpectedly, this tyranny made all the officials laugh.

Originally, the audience was silent, but because of his behavior, one person came out to stop him and said, "Your Highness, why are you doing this? That's not how you play the pipa!"

Everyone is in a hurry, but anyone who has used the pipa knows that the pipa is meant to be played vertically, so what's the point of playing it horizontally like him?
Some people already showed a look of doubt or even disdain on their faces. They thought that this was a blasphemy against the pipa. How could such an all-encompassing instrument be treated like this?

In their opinion, Li Chengqian is a child who doesn't know how to play musical instruments!It's nothing but sensationalism!
At the same time, everyone looked at Li Chengqian strangely, and some people began to wonder if Li Chengqian was lying to them!But he is His Royal Highness, even if he did this, Li Shimin would naturally punish him.

This

The sound of the pipa even aroused everyone's disdain.

Someone who understands the reason first said: "His Royal Highness must be auditioning, and he hasn't played it yet, why are you so anxious!"

Maybe that's the only way to explain it.

But Li Chengqian set up the pipa directly and said:

"Who said you can't play the pipa like this? Who made the rules? As long as you play it smoothly and well, I can play it however I like."

There is a big one, or you will bite my posture!

Xu Jingzong questioned directly: "His Royal Highness, the method of playing the pipa has been passed down from generation to generation in ancient times. It is not appropriate for you to do this!"

Li Chengqian turned his head and ignored Xu Jingzong, this guy wasn't worth arguing about.

"Everyone listen to me, the soundtrack of my article is different, and it must be played in this way to complement each other!"

Although Li Chengqian said so, no one was optimistic about him.

In their solidified thinking, the pipa can only be played vertically, not horizontally. This is also a rule passed down from the ancestors and cannot be broken.

Some people simply broke into a cold sweat for Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian smiled, this is the best, the shock brought about by this can bring me more points.

Li Chengqian showed disdain for all worldly views.

The pipa he holds in his hand is like holding a guitar before.

When he was holding the pipa, he felt like a guitar.

The pipa has four strings, while the guitar has six strings. These two instruments have both similarities and differences.If different feelings pop up from the same place, it can be regarded as a kind of progress.The effect of playing the pipa on the guitar, in this era, he is definitely No.1.

(Words are unsubstantiated, there are videos as evidence, see Li Chengqian's experience in "The Master of Chinese Music Plays the Pipa as an Electric Guitar" on Li Chengqian's website)
Li Chengqian didn't use the guitar to play the melody of the song, but used it as an accompaniment to give new chords.

咚

Li Chengqian's immature hand touched the pipa, making a booming sound.

He wanted to say, this time, it hurt a little, but this body is still too petite.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be sent.

This bang surprised the people around. People didn't know that this was the so-called drumbeat, which was the sense of rhythm brought by beating on the board.It can make the whole song more alive.

From now on, one lute becomes two instruments.

A burst of crisp, a burst of solid

Li Chengqian began to play the chords. It has to be said that the chords were a bit strange for everyone to hear.

Accompanied by the prelude that was familiar to him, he began to sing.

"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky for wine..."

Every sentence here will be accompanied by chords, and he began to sing with his somewhat immature voice.

The people present were fascinated, especially Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, but they heard a new feeling.

The better Li Chengqian performed, the more face he would have for Li Shimin.

"……Nung, moon and new moon."

When he finished the last word, everyone paused for a long time before realizing that it was the end of the song and they had no choice but to applaud.

Everyone in the Taiji Palace, including the officials and maids, applauded from the heart.

At this time, Xu Jingzong didn't say anything else. After all, the performance of this instrument has proved everything. Regardless of whether the article was written by Li Chengqian or not, just judging from his horizontal playing of the pipa, this is definitely a master.

It was just the right dose of medicine.

Because at this time, in Li Chengqian's mind, there were already continuous voices.

"Congratulations to the host, you have gained ten points."

"Congratulations to the host, you have gained ten points."

"Congratulations to the host, you have gained twenty points."

……

This way, at least brought him more than 2000 points, and now he has reached 2000 points, which is more than [-] points away from [-], which should not be considered slow.

However, my hands were already red and swollen, and it was really painful!

Li Shimin was very happy.

"Come here, copy this song "When Will the Moon Come" into the Yuefu, and incorporate it into a work handed down from generation to generation!"

This is amazing, so that's why Li Chengqian is highly valued!

At the same time, this song will also be spread. In their free time, Li Shimin and the officials can listen to it one more time. They think that Li Chengqian's ability to compose this song must be accidental.

So I didn't ask him to compose again. After all, he is a prince, and he should focus on his studies instead of doing these illusory things.
