Chapter 34 Banquet
<>Chapter 34
Big banquet
—————————————————
The galaxy is brilliant, elegant
Although he only greeted an envoy from the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty still showed his grandeur.
It far exceeded the imagination of those envoys from the Western Regions.
In modern terms—
“Poverty restricted his imagination.”
Since there is a banquet, how can there be no singing and dancing?
Dancers and singers will never be missing in the Tang Dynasty.
The prosperity of music and poetry has long been the atmosphere created by Li Bai and Du Fu, like the immortals and saints of poetry, where is the atmosphere created by the Tang Dynasty.
However, the only thing that made Lu Ankang embarrassed was that it was his turn again.
The banquet was placed outside the Zhenggan Palace, and the banquet was invited by some important civil and military ministers in the capital of the Gods. There were not many, but not many. Ankang, who was just a sixth-rank Dali Temple Master, was lucky to be here. So he could sit in the last seat, in a remote place, and others could not see him, but he could see others clearly.
That's fine.
It also suits his personality of hiding in the dark to observe people.
It was precisely because of this observation that he caught several figures behind the scenes that surprised him.
Princess Taiping sat opposite Helan Minzhi.
It seems harmonious, but there is a little confrontation hidden. For some reason, Princess Taiping kept drinking Helan Minzhi. Did she want to get him drunk?
Such a person who has been living in a romantic place for many years will naturally have a good alcohol tolerance, so he can get drunk with just a few glasses of wine. However, the purpose of this drunkenness is mostly to hope that Helan Minzhi can do something unexpected after drinking!
As for what?
I'm afraid only the two of them know it themselves.
In addition to those who were expected by Di Renjie and others, Lu Ankang actually saw the Princess Fanbang. Unfortunately, the Princess Fanbang was the woman who rescued by him and Shangguan Qianxun that day. She was almost ruined by Helan Minzhi, so at this moment, she naturally felt a little resentful when she looked at Helan Minzhi.
Judging from Wu Meiniang's current attitude towards Helan Minzhi, at this moment, Helan Minzhi is still in Wu Meiniang's favor. Therefore, the way the princess of Fanbang wanted to report Helan Minzhi by complaining about the imperial examination was gone.
After all, Wu Meiniang is a very protective person, especially the person she values, she protects her shortcomings even more.
Therefore, the princess of Fanbian had a dark face throughout the whole process, without a trace of joy. Even the messengers of Fanbian were helpless.
In the end, the messenger had to give up on himself.
As for what is worth mentioning next, Princess Taiping's wine pouring finally worked. After another period of singing and dancing, Helan Minzhi, who was flushed, stood up and toasted Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi and said, "I wish your Majesty, Empress Wu will be blessed with great blessings."
Everyone smiled, but he continued to say drunkenly: "These songs and dances are so beautiful. How about the empress who is here to present a poem to His Majesty and Empress Wu?"
Helan Minzhi's talent is famous throughout the gods.
He has extremely profound attainments in poetry and folk art.
So his actions were naturally allowed by Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi.
In exchange for a lot of applause and Li Zhi's reward, he naturally shook his body and returned to his seat with satisfaction, and continued to be drunk by Princess Taiping.
However, the point is here
Just as Di Renjie was about to get up, he subconsciously looked at Lu Ankang. Lu Ankang was also staring at him, shaking his finger at him, and Di Renjie sat down slowly.
Sha Tuozhong, who was standing beside him, said in confusion: "Why are you sitting back?"
"Wait first!"
Di Renjie whispered to Sha Tuozhong.
At this moment, Li Zhi's eyes deliberately circled around the crowd, and then pretended not to see Lu Ankang and asked, "Where is Lu Ankang in Dali Temple?"
Lu Ankang lowered his head, slowly stood up, and walked into everyone's sight.
"I'm here."
Li Zhi pointed to Lu Ankang and said, "Dali Temple mentioned that you have profound poetry attainments in your recommendation book. Today, all the officials are here, and many of them are familiar with this attainment. Please give me a poem and let me see it. If it is good, I will have a reward."
Then, in order to be more inconsistent, he said to the others: "If other families have any talent, they can also prepare."
At this time, Di Renjie saw Lu Ankang's fingers shaking twice again, and knew that this was the time to take action, but they no longer had to take the initiative.
The most proactive one is to be silent and seemingly ordinary.
Lu Ankang bowed to Li Zhi and then said, "I am not good at poetry and lyrics. I am not good at singing and dancing. I am prepared to ask His Majesty, Empress, Envoy, and All Officials to evaluate."
After worshiping politely.
Get up slowly.
Standing in the middle of the dance, accompanied by the sound of his void high-flashing.
A group of young men wearing only military trousers and wearing spacious vests walked into the venue.
At first glance, it was full of redness, and at another glance, it seemed like there was a feeling of burning in the fiery redness.
Everyone knelt on one knee, and accompanied by Lu Ankang bowing slightly to Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang.
Sha Tuozhong pushed the Guser who had already prepared to the front of Lu Ankang.
The drum is like a snare drum, not standing but lying.
There were a few gangsters hanging on the side, as if they were matched.
The moment the drum hammer fell gently
The tune came out of Lu Ankang's throat.
For reasons, those who are knowledgeable and like Di Renjie have recognized that the tune that was originally matched was actually Humai, the grassland people.
According to research, the history of Humai can be traced back to the Humai period, that is, in the Humai era, Humai was produced. The ancestors of the Mongolian Plateau devoutly imitated the sound of nature during hunting and nomadic times. They believed that this was an important way to effectively communicate with nature and the universe and live in harmony. Therefore, some potentials of human vocal organs have been developed. When one person imitates the sound of waterfalls, mountains, forests, and animals, he can make "harmony", that is, the prototype of Humai.
Regarding the emergence of Humai, the Mongolians had a strange saying: In ancient times, ancestors were moving in the deep mountains, and saw rivers diversion, waterfalls pouring, mountains and valleys were singing, which was moving, and the Śrāvakas imitated for dozens of miles, thus resulting in Humai. Among the Mongolians in the Altai Mountains, Xinjiang, Humai still has Humai. Due to the limitations of special singing skills, Humai's repertoire is not particularly rich. Generally speaking, there are three types: one is to sing beautiful natural scenery, such as "Ode to the Altai Mountains" and "Ebu River Water"
Class; second is to express and simulate the cute images of wild animals, such as "Cuckoo" and "Black Walking Bear", which retain the musical remains of the forest pig hunting culture period; third is to praise horses and grasslands, such as "Four-year-old Sea Horse". In terms of its musical style, Humai mainly uses short music, but can also sing some short long-toned songs, and there are not many such songs. Judging from the legends produced by Humai and the theme content of the song, the singing form of "grosy" is a product of the Mongolian mountain forest hunting culture period
At this moment, Lu Ankang shouted out the unique products of the northern nation, so naturally his intention was.
