Taichang Temple is an official yard, an official yard in charge of rituals and music.

In the important activities of the Tang Dynasty for offering sacrifices to heaven, gods, mulberry sacrifices, etc., the emperor led a group of court officials to pray and burn watches, asking God to give him face, and stood in the distance and ringing bells and drums, and the sacred and flutes, silk and bamboo were extremely lively, and the musicians in Taichang Temple.

In general, Taichang Temple is equivalent to the National Song and Dance Theater Troupe. It not only manages the Si Music, which is a major event in the court, but also the rituals and music in the palace. Li Shimin was very happy and in a good mood. He invited a minister to drink a few more drinks, so he waved his hand and said, "Summoning Dance Music". Dozens and hundreds of singing musicians walked into the hall with graceful steps, singing and dancing to cheer the king and his ministers. Of course, it is definitely much more elegant than the rough style of demon dancing in the Cheng Mansion.

These singular musicians and musicians who were summoned by Li Shimin were under the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple. During the Wude period, Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan issued an order to set up a private singfang to teach dance music and music. Yes, the so-called "singfang" at this time was not a singfang that was dedicated to the powerful and wealthy people visiting prostitutes thousands of years later, but a serious and elegant dance music. Except for the emperor, who dared to stretch a finger at them while drinking, and would be thrown into the prison. Not everyone could move the things in His Majesty's pot.

Major activities are not available every day, so the karaoke musicians in Taichang Temple are mostly idle. However, eating the salary of the country is impossible to make them really leisurely. So when they are idle, they will be rehearsing new songs endlessly.

It is not easy for Li Su to enter Taichang Temple. After all, it is a national opera troupe, and it is not something that a small county can enter just by wanting it.

After leading Wang Zhi around outside Taichang Temple for a long time, he found that the soldiers at the door had no intention of letting them in, Li Su blinked, turned around and headed straight for Cheng's mansion.

At this time, I have to use the energy of the playboy.

There is always such a group of people in Chang'an City. They are not engaged in childbirth, do not like to work, and they either ride horses and hunt or cause trouble all day long. They rely on the blessings of their parents and ancestors. This group of unstable factors in the harmonious society of the Tang Dynasty was actually all given official positions, although it was just an idle and empty title that was not in power.

Entering Cheng Mansion twice in a day not only requires courage, but also to overcome considerable psychological barriers. After all, no one knows something suddenly pops up inside, carrying his collar and bringing a long list of "Wowhahahahahahahaha".

Li Su was lucky. Cheng Yaojin might have drunk a lot of alcohol when he was entertaining him today, and now he has fallen asleep. So Li Su quickly asked his servant to call Cheng Chumo out.

When he heard that he went to Taichang Temple to listen to music, Cheng Chumo suddenly showed a very disgusting expression: "The women there can't be touched, so what's the point of sitting inside?"

Obviously, in Cheng Chumo's life, the standard for entertainment is whether he can touch a woman.

Li Su sighed, "Brother Cheng, can't you sit in your arms and stay upset once?"

"Don't make a fuss about it, my brother... I can't even touch the karaokes in Taichang Temple, let alone sit in my arms, it's completely impossible..."

After saying that, Cheng Chumo smacked his lips with great regret: "The women inside are all very graceful, what a pity..."

Li Su's face was also a little dark: "Brother Cheng, don't make trouble... Can you just listen to a song? After listening to it, I'll invite you to the brothel, and the women there will touch whatever they want."

Cheng Chumo was shocked, raised his hand and stroked Li Su's forehead: "Brother, what's wrong with you? You are so sick... You were so irritated before, but why are you so generous now? Old God Sun happened to travel back to Chang'an yesterday. I'll take you to see..."

Li Su suddenly realized that he had found the wrong person today, looking for the Duan family and the playboys in the Fang family were much more ideal than looking for Cheng Chumo. At least there was no need to say so much nonsense, and there was no need to be angry to death.

Facts have proved that although Cheng Chumo was verbose, his efficiency was still very good. Except for Tai Chi Palace, there was basically no place in Chang'an that could stop them. Every place looked like he was rushing forward and domineering.

Entering Taichang Temple is too difficult for ordinary people, but it is even simpler for Cheng Chumo. When he arrived at the gate of Taichang Temple, he pointed at the soldiers guarding the gate very arrogantly and ordered them to invite Dr. Taichang out.

Dr. Taichang is a unique official position in Taichang Temple. From Zhengqing, Shaoqing and Temple Chief down there is Dr. Taichang, who is in charge of music and singing and dancing. It is almost equivalent to the hard-working sing and dancing. A person who swings a whip stands next to him. Whoever practices well will whip it with a whip. Dr. Taichang's power is roughly the same, and his hatred is equivalent to Yang Yan of the Firearm Bureau.

Dr. Taichang, who was welcomed out, was named Liu, and his name was Fang Zhong. He was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was slightly thin and looked... difficult to describe, with small eyes, big nose, wide mouth, and a pair of scattered eyebrows raised from a strange angle. His face looked fierce. However, facing Duke Lu's eldest son, Liu Fang Zhong showed a very warm smile. With his fierce eyebrows, he looked... he couldn't stand it.

Cheng Chumo and Liu Fangzhong obviously knew each other. Seeing Liu Fangzhong approaching, Cheng Chumo pointed at Li Su and said, "This is my brother, Li Su, a son of Jingyang County... and this one is also my brother, Wang Zhi."

Liu Fangzhong faced Li Su and Wang Zhi, and immediately showed an exaggerated long-term look of admiration, not knowing whether it was true or false.

"Listen, my brother is in good spirits today. I want to go into your broken temple and give you some face. I don't need to have any food and drinks. We brothers go in and take a look and then leave."

Liu Fangzhong was dug: "Break...Break the temple..."

Cheng Chumo pushed his shoulder unceremoniously: "What are you rubbing? Hurry up, the girl inside must be held or touched. I don't know what's good about it. Only my brother is happy. If I change to my master, I will not come if I invite me a hundred times."

Liu Fangzhong smiled bitterly and invited the three of them into Taichang Temple. With Dr. Liu leading the way, the soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to stop them.

Taichang Temple occupies a large area. Although it is a place where music is in charge, its power is far more than music. It is responsible for everything related to rituals and music. After entering, it is an empty large courtyard. Many slaughter-in-laws were sweeping snow in the yard. Liu Fangzhong was very enthusiastic and led the three people in, and also temporarily acted as a tour guide.

On the left side of the yard is the Taibu Bureau. Whenever major affairs of the state court require divination and good or bad, the officials inside will be summoned to the palace, and on the right is the Sacrifice Bureau. Simply put, the three animals used for sacrifices in the state court are under their jurisdiction, and walking forward is the Zhongtang. Walk around the Zhongtang and then go in. On the left and right are the Taile Bureau and the Gongshu Bureau. As the name suggests, this is the part of musical singing and dancing.

After Liu Fangzhong introduced it, Li Su learned that the music in this era was mostly divided into two categories: elegant and popular, and the division of labor was very clear. The Taile Administration and the Gongshu Administration were responsible for the elegant part, so they came out to perform and dance during major activities such as national sacrificial rituals. Each instrument and every dance move is strictly trained and cannot tolerate any mistakes. People these days are too superstitious. Once a mistake occurs in sacrificial activities, it means that it is unlucky to the country and those who make mistakes will be punished.

As for the popular ones, it is the legendary Neijiaofang. When Li Shimin was having a banquet in the palace or when he drank and had fun, the one who summoned singing and dancing to cheer up the fun was the Neijiaofang. This is relatively less serious, because occasionally Li Shimin would come to interact with the kabuki people when he was drunk. As for whether he had any actions such as eating tofu to take advantage of it, it is really untestable.

Listening to Liu Fangzhong's endless introduction, Li Su smiled while walking, but the expression in her eyes was a bit strange.

Walking through the courtyard between the Pacific and the Gushu Administration, the four of them heard the faint sound of silk and bamboo coming from the front.

Li Su suddenly laughed and said, "It's cold and the earth is frozen. Is there anyone in the Neijiaofang rehearsing?"

Liu Fangzhong grinned: "It is said that Kabuki and musicians are all poor people. If you want to be proficient in your career, you will care about the weather. You are all entertaining people who are entertaining for Your Majesty. If you don't practice singing and dancing well and sweep your Majesty's interest, you should die."

"Dr. Liu, can you take me to the Neijiaofang to have a look?"

Liu Fangzhong hesitated for a moment, and saw that Cheng Chumo looked bad, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

The rehearsal of the Neijiaofang is in a spacious and bright hall. It is said to be a hall, but in fact there is no wall on all sides, which is a bit like an enlarged pavilion. The solid wood floor in the hall is painted with varnish. When Li Su and others approach, they heard the sounds of various musical instruments playing, such as pipa, zheng, guizheng, sheng and flute. Dancing in the hall with the pleasant music were a group of beautiful dancers wearing high-waisted palace outfits. It has to be said that the girls here are indeed much more beautiful than those in the brothel outside. At this time, even Li Su couldn't help but feel the same regret as Cheng Chumo. He could only watch but not use it, which was a waste of beauty.

Looking at Cheng Chumo and Wang Zhi again, their expressions were dull at the moment, their eyes shining, and their faces were staring at the dancers in the hall. This look was enough to make any gentleman in the world cut off their robes without hesitation.

Li Su was different from them. When his eyes were turned to the hall, his attention was directly over the stunning dancers, but he looked at the musicians in the corner of the hall.

The musicians who played the pipa, flute, and zither were passing by one by one, as if they were looking for something.

After scrutinizing for a long time, Li Su gradually frowned, and she couldn't help but wonder about her memories of her previous life. Could it be... she remembered it wrong?

Li Su looked for the second time without giving up. Fortunately, he had good eyesight and could barely see the faces of the musicians from a distance.

The second time there was no result, Li Su's expression became more and more disappointed, but he still did not give up and continued to search for the third time.

Finally, during the fifth search, Li Su found a handsome and handsome boy standing behind a middle-aged musician who was ringing the chime. The boy looked beautiful and looked like a petite person. Although he didn't say anything or smile, he showed a faint charming temperament, a standard appearance of a boy and a girl.

Li Su's eyelids hopped suddenly.

The appearance of this young man... seems to be very consistent with what is recorded in history books.

Standing quietly outside the hall, listening to the pleasant rhythm, Li Su closed her eyes, as if listening to the sound of fairy sounds, showing an enjoyable expression, and seeing Cheng Chumo and Wang Zhi beside her a chill.

After a long time, when the music in the hall came to an end, Li Su finally opened his eyes and gently stroked his hands and smiled: "It is worthy of being the song and dance and music trained by Taichang Temple. It is indeed well-known. I heard about it today and I have been lucky in my three lives."

Liu Fangzhong had a lustful face, but smiled very reservedly.

Suddenly, Li Su deliberately exclaimed, pointed to the handsome young man behind the musician who was ringing the chime, and said, "That musician is so beautiful, is he... a man or a woman?"

Liu Fangzhong followed his fingers and smiled, "That's not a musician, but a Le Tong. He learned chimes from his master and was not qualified to play. Li Countyzi should not see that he had a female appearance, but he was a perfect man. He was fifteen years old and his parents had lost their names since childhood. Lord Shi Cheng gave him a bad name, called Chengxin."
