The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

After getting Li Changge's permission and support, Mian'er looked at him with joy in her eyes, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Does Childe really know how to play the piano?"

Li Changge decided to put down the matter at hand for the time being and give himself a short rest, after all, he was going to leave for Chang'an the next day.

Faced with the maid Mian'er's curious inquiry, he just smiled mysteriously and responded: "I have a lot of ability, you will see it slowly in the future." "

Although Mian'er has followed Li Changge for many years, she has never seen him play the piano, and her heart is full of curiosity at this moment. But her trust in Li Changge's talent made her firmly believe that Li Changge could easily master whether it was playing the piano or other skills, and even if he said that he could fly, Mian'er would not hesitate to believe it. Of course, behind Mian'er's simple trust, there is also a trace of expectation, in case Li Changge is a layman in music, then she will have the opportunity to teach him.

At dawn the next day, Li Changge got up early, carefully packed his bags, and prepared to embark on the journey to Chang'an.

On this day, he wore a strong outfit that he wore when hunting on weekdays: short on a black background, loose and fit, and his style was slightly similar to a Taoist robe, although it was slightly different from the clothes of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty, but after experiencing the fusion period after the turmoil at the end of the Han Dynasty, the customs were different in various places, and his dress was not abrupt, but it was a little less luxurious than silk and satin.

After the carriage departed, Mian'er looked restless, her little face ruddy and nervous, and full of anticipation.

Li Changge noticed her abnormality, "Mian'er, what's wrong?"

Mian'er replied shyly: "Childe, it's okay." "

Li Changge instantly understood, Mian'er was originally from a large family, well-educated, and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and this time he went to Chang'an with him, just to show his talent.

Li Changge encouraged: "If you can beat the crowd in Chang'an, I will give you a piano of your own choosing." Mian'er was pleasantly surprised and grateful.

As the sound of horses' hooves approached, the carriage gradually approached the bustling Chang'an City. Mian'er's mood became more and more excited, and she tried her best to restrain the joy in her heart.

Li Changge was equally excited, realizing that the arrival of Hu Shang could mean the discovery of rare treasures, such as foreign music theory books or geometric manuscripts. This knowledge may be familiar to him, but its valuable collection value cannot be ignored. Li Changge secretly thought to himself, if he had the opportunity, he must try to get the original manuscript of the geometry - thinking that countless cultural relics in his previous life were lost overseas, and now he is in this time and space, he should protect and collect a wave.

This is the first time that Li Changge has participated in a large-scale commercial celebration in the Tang Dynasty, which is different from the previous experience of only catching markets in Youzhou and other places, and this event can be regarded as the "Double Eleven of Musical Instruments" in the Tang Dynasty.

Immersed in experiments and thinking for a long time, physically and mentally exhausted, this trip to Chang'an is not only a journey, but also a rare feast of knowledge and culture, which makes Li Changge feel very excited.

At the same time......

Qin Qiong, Li Jing, Du Ruhui and other important ministers received an urgent order from Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and they quickly took action and began the intense and orderly work - to develop HUO medicine.

This not only means the consumption of a lot of resources, manpower and material resources, but also involves the endless efforts and time of many ministers of the DPRK and China. In the face of such a laborious task, no one dared to slack off or delay in the slightest, because everyone knew that the value contained in those thousands of catties of grenades was almost comparable to that of hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.

The 300,000 troops that were originally holding the city lost their original advantage in front of this mysterious weapon in an instant, as if they had become a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Therefore, whether it is Tang Taizong Li Er or the ministers, they all attach great importance to this matter and go all out.

Despite their busyness, Qin Qiong and the others were also full of curiosity about the identity of the mysterious son mentioned by Li Er. First the Divine Arm Bow was born, and now it is an amazingly powerful grenade, these subversive weapons make them have to guess that this "Childe" may be a hidden old-timer, and the title of "Childe" may just be a code name out of respect.

Among them, Cheng Yanjin's curiosity is particularly strong. Although he was a bold and rugged founding general, he had an extremely keen fighting instinct. He realized that with the advent of such new weapons, the era of relying on individual martial arts might be rewritten, and even fist and foot kung fu could be gradually phased out. Thinking of the future of his son Cheng Huailiang and the fate of Datang, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but move his mind and wanted to get to know and consult this master.

After several twists and turns, Cheng Yanjin finally heard some news from Li Er: a grand event will be held in Chang'an City soon, and a wealthy Hu merchant wants to sell all kinds of famous pianos in the west of the city, attracting many local piano shops to gather, intending to take this opportunity to make a big deal. In addition, due to Li Er's edict to implement the reform atmosphere, the curfew was lifted in the whole city on this day, the people celebrated, and talented and beautiful women came to participate in the grand event.

Li Er even intended to participate in it personally, although Cheng Yanjin himself did not understand the piano and was not very interested in it, but he knew that his kid Cheng Huailiang might take the opportunity to travel. But more importantly, since the master may appear at this event, Cheng Yanjin decided to go to the scene to see what ...... anyway

......

After arriving in Chang'an, Li Changge learned that the grand ceremony of the piano trade was named the "Thousand Qin Conference".

It was midday when he arrived, and there was still plenty of time before the evening piano session.

Ying'er was supposed to be busy in the store, but Li Changge proposed to let her rest for a day, but she resolutely refused. In desperation, Li Changge had no choice but to take Mian'er to wander around the market and shop.

Chang'an City has a tradition of festivals accompanied by lantern festivals since ancient times, and it is rumored that this event has received the support of the emperor, so the scale is unprecedentedly grand. Although night has not yet arrived and the lanterns have not yet been lit, the streets and alleys of Chang'an are already a lively scene at this moment. Li Changge strolled around, and unconsciously compared with the situation when he came to Chang'an last time, he found that this ancient city had unconsciously added a bit of prosperity, and it showed the signs of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

During the tour, Li Changge noticed that many of the famous places in Chang'an in his memory of his previous life had not yet been established at this time, which was also in line with the historical background of the early Tang Dynasty. The people who were in a hurry around were full of energy, and the conversation was full of expectations and longing for the future.

"I heard that next year's imperial examination will not start until April?

"Hey, even if you have an extra month of revision time, don't think you'll be able to win the Jinshi exam!"

"Alas, although the imperial examination system was founded by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty in the previous dynasty, now His Majesty can restart this selection mechanism despite public opinion, and we, the children of the poor family, have finally ushered in the opportunity to turn over!"

"But don't be too optimistic, the imperial examination high school does not mean that everything is fine, and the real challenge is still to come!"

"Doesn't it mean that everything is fine?".

A seemingly thoughtful young man explained to his companions, "Although the imperial examination system provides a path for students from poor families to be promoted, those intertwined families have deep roots in the court, and even if we are lucky enough to get into the office, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not be squeezed out." You must know that since ancient times, the family gate valve is like a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, although Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, have been greatly weakened, but they have never been able to completely eradicate their power.
