Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 263 It's Lantern Festival Night Again

Feng Daiwen has always been a man of action, he did what he said, and the next day he thought he would retreat from the court, so he went to the palace to see Li Shimin.

"What's the matter?" Li Shimin asked directly when he saw Feng Daiwen. It was really approaching the end of the new year, and he was very busy every day, so of course he didn't need to be polite to Feng Daiwen.

"Is this son here to borrow someone?" Feng Daiwen replied respectfully, it's not a bad thing to be well-behaved in front of the father-in-law.

"Borrowed by whom? What are you doing?" Li Shimin asked with his head buried in his hard work, reading the memorial all the time without raising his head.

"There are 200 people from the Jiaojiaofang Division, who are proficient in rhythm and musical instruments." Feng Daiwen said immediately after he had a draft.

"What are you borrowing for?" Li Shimin was very surprised, because Feng Daiwen had never been a lustful person in his heart.

"Do you want to train dancers for your family? You just choose dozens of them yourself." Before Feng Daiwen could speak, Li Shimin said generously. He thought it was the Chinese New Year, and Feng Daiwen wanted to train them for the family. For entertaining guests.

"No, Father, you have misunderstood..." Feng Daiwen hastily explained the idea of ​​building an opera house and an art troupe.

"Okay, you go and pick people. The opera house needs [-]% of the profit." Li Shimin didn't think too much, but saw that there was a bargain, and said directly. In his heart, he owns [-]% anyway. Suffering, simple and rude, but effective.

Although Feng Daiwen knew that Taotie was here, there was absolutely no reason to let him go, but he still hated this kind of unreasonable behavior, unfortunately he was powerless to refute it, so he had to reluctantly agree.

"Hey, let's go, I don't have time to entertain you!" Li Shimin took advantage and began to see off the guests without hesitation.

Feng Daiwen went to the Jiaofang Division to select 320 people. These were basically people of different races. After Feng Daiwen persuaded Li Shimin to pay attention to the population, the family members of the Jiaofang Division's offenders basically married separately, unless they were really heinous people.

Hand over people to Yuchi Baolin, and first train them to walk, sit and stand according to the barracks. Yuchi Baolin has been a personal guard by Feng Daiwen's side for several months and has been trained by him. Naturally, he knows how to train newcomers.

Then Feng Daiwen went to Li Yuan again and said that he wanted to prepare a program for him, so he selected 500 people of similar height from the [-] people he had personally trained.

How could the art troupe be without military songs, and of course the military songs are still sung by men with momentum, there are hundreds of people, and there is no need to report, they directly take the whole family and drag the soldiers to Zhujiazhuang for closed training.

As for Yuchi Baolin, they will come after the training. After all, their foundation is too poor, even if they are walking and standing, it takes more than ten days to take shape.

…………

The Lantern Festival is usually the busiest day in Chang'an City every year, because on this day not only King Wu can't help it, but almost all the people will go to the streets to watch lanterns and performances.

The noble ladies who usually hide in the deep boudoir will rarely take their maids and guards to the street. This is the best time for noble children to go out to find a spouse.

Zhuquemen has the largest and most beautiful lanterns made by the royal family every year, which are lit after nightfall for the common people to watch, and it is the place where the most people go every year.

This year is a little different. Not only are there huge lanterns, but a venue has been arranged early, and it is said that there is a program to be performed there.

It was not yet dark, and there was already a sea of ​​people outside Suzaku's gate, and countless soldiers were holding long sticks to maintain order.

Suddenly, many people came out of the palace, carrying drums one by one, and placed them on the open space, a total of one hundred and one drums.

As soon as the sky darkened, many huge torches were lit all around, illuminating the city of Chang'an. Li Yuan and Li Shimin also appeared on the city wall with their family members.

With the appearance of the Datang Dragon Banner, the flag representing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also flew high.

A thousand rattan armored soldiers were specially dispatched by Feng Daiwen, one to maintain the safety of the scene, and the other to adjust the atmosphere.

Just when Li Yuan and Li Shimin appeared, the rattan armored soldiers, led by Feng Daiwen, knelt on one knee and shouted loudly: "See my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

The huge voice drove everyone to kneel down and shouted: "See my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

This time, the whole of Chang'an heard it, so many people, such a tidy, loud voice, coming together to appear strong, powerful, and directly pointing to people's hearts, even those who were not present were excited and shouted "Long live!"

"Good! Good! Flatten your body!" Li Shimin was so excited, he didn't expect that he would be awakened by a huge shock when he appeared on the stage, and he raised his hand happily to signal whether anyone heard it or not.

"Holy decree! The celebration begins!"

As the eunuch's sharp voice sounded, one hundred and one shirtless and strong men came to the drum.

Another hundred men in the same attire walked in with neat steps, like the sound of one person's footsteps, stepping heavily on everyone's hearts. Although there were only 100 people, it gave people the feeling of a thousand troops.

"boom!"

"Bang! Boom!"

With the sound of one drum, other drums also sounded rhythmically.

"It's the general's order!" Just after a few rings, Li Yuan, who has always been fond of sensuality, recognized it, and said casually.

"Father, you are still very good, you can tell immediately." Li Shimin supported Li Yuan to sit on the built platform, and complimented him with a smile.

Fortunately, the guards had been notified long ago, so the loud drumming did not cause any misunderstanding.

Before Li Yuan could speak, there was action below.

"Ha!" The 100 people distanced themselves, opened up their movements, and practiced martial arts.

Laughing proudly at the waves,
Hot blood is hotter than red sun,
The guts are like iron and the bones are like steel,

With a broad mind and a long-sighted vision,

Swear to work hard to be a good man,

To be a good man is to improve yourself every day...

While posing various martial arts exercises, they sang loudly with the drumbeat!

From time to time, he would exhale "Ha! Ha!" The sound was so sonorous and powerful.

When the first drumbeat sounded, no one spoke, just watching the performance engrossed.

The general's order itself is an exciting song, a man should strengthen himself, it stimulates many people to tremble and excited.

Two hundred strong men performed with bare arms, and the sweat on their bodies under the light of torches made everyone's hormones soar.

The last drumbeat fell, and everyone stood at attention and clasped their fists.

"Okay!" A huge applause sounded.

"it is good!"

"Okay!" The onlookers applauded loudly, and kept clapping their palms vigorously, the voice was very loud, as if they couldn't express their excitement otherwise.

"Good! Good! What a man should be self-improvement. Although this singing method is not very elegant, it should be the true nature of a man, and this is the song that a man should sing." Li Shimin was equally happy, and said to Li Jing beside him with high fives.

"What the Holy Majesty said is very true. All the ministers are so stimulated that they want to join the battlefield immediately, so that they can show their true colors." Li Jing agreed with a smile, stroking his beard.

　Thank you Meng, big brother's monthly pass, thank you everyone.
