As the commander-in-chief of the troops and horses of the eight states, Huo Yan also manages a lot of opportunities every day.
Integrating the soldiers and horses of the eight states is not an easy task.
He is directly responsible for the training and ideological education of the army.
As long as there is any disturbance, he has to be dealt with.
Fortunately, the teachers in the army such as Yang Ji'an worked hard, and the advanced model report meeting was also quite effective. The eight states including Gyeongju have completely subdued tens of thousands of evils.
In addition, the state's defense and New Year's recruitment policies must be implemented in place.
He was dealing with military affairs in the camp when Li Shu came in suddenly and said in a thief-like way: "Commander, have you heard?"
Huo Yan didn't raise his head: "What?"
"It's about our prince."
Lou Yu is already a figure on the altar in Gyeongju, and the common people are quite concerned about his affairs.
It's no secret that the actors from the theater went to the residence of the Prince of Dong'an.
Of course, Lou Yu didn't intend to sneak around.
There is nothing to hide.
It's about Lou Yu, Huo Yan raised his head suddenly: "What's the matter?"
Li Shu smiled meaningfully: "I heard that our lord invited many actors to perform songs and dances in the mansion, and many of them were pretty good-looking. Think about it, our lord used to be pure-hearted and ascetic, but now he is eighteen. , should be—lead you where to go!"
Before the words fell, Huo Yan's figure had disappeared outside the camp.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Huo Yan galloped all the way to Xincheng and stood outside Lou Yu's house.
There was no sound of silk and bamboo in the house, nor was there a singing voice, but he had extraordinary hearing, and could vaguely hear some laughter.
When the young general guarding the house saw Huo Yan, he immediately stepped forward to salute: "I have seen the commander!"
Huo Yan said indifferently: "Your Highness has summoned actors to play in the mansion?"
The young general nodded: "Yes, but the commander has something important to meet with the prince?"
"Ah."
Huo Yan stepped straight in.
In Prince Qing's Mansion, Huo Yan saw that Lou Yu still had to abide by the etiquette, but in the Xincheng mansion, the two of them didn't need to worry too much, and the soldiers guarding the mansion were used to it.
Commander Huo does not need to be notified when he enters the house.
In the room, Lou Yu asked someone to give Yuanwei a seat, and asked gently, "How did you end up in Gyeongju?"
The iris eyes are full of luster, and the tear mole under her eyes is full of charm.
The King of Dong'an in front of him, compared to the young prince in his memory, is even more majestic and majestic, with a snowy soul and a cold soul.
"Back to the lord, after the capital was breached by the rebels, the slave escaped by chance, wandering around like duckweed, not knowing where to go. Later, when he heard that the lord was going to fight against the rebels, he decided to come to Qingzhou to ask for a living. When I saw the lord today, the slave only felt that he had lost his life." Fortunately."
Lou Yu couldn't help asking: "If you work for Huizong like this, there is no organization behind you? Why are you wandering alone?"
Yuanwei was startled in horror, and stared at Lou Yu with wide beautiful eyes.
Turns out he knew it!
He knows his previous identity!
Iris immediately knelt down and said: "My lord, please forgive me. I was raised by the trick house since I was a child, and I have to do what the master of the trick house told me to do. Later, the rebels rushed into the trick house, and the slave ran away in panic. gone."
He spoke tactfully, but Lou Yu understood.
That is to say, they are not specially trained special workers, but just because of their convenient status, let them do some light tasks.
Lou Yu only believed half of what he said.
After all, how can he be a simple person who has been living in a place where fish and dragons are mixed since he was a child?
But whether what Iris said is true or not, Lou Yu doesn't care.
He just needs Iris to do something.
Then he smiled and said: "Get up and talk. I called you here because I want you to do something for me. If you do it well, you will naturally be rewarded."
Iris immediately expressed her position: "Your Majesty, just give orders."
Lou Yu said: "You said you can compose music and write lyrics, but besides the melodious sounds you sang just now, can you compose sonorous tunes?"
"Clanging?" Iris asked with exquisite thoughts, "Your Highness, are you talking about heroic songs?"
Lou Yu likes to talk to smart people.
He intends to have someone compose a military song, which will be sung in every state, so that soldiers in all states can learn it.
This can better stimulate the sense of belonging and collective honor of soldiers.
In addition to military songs, there are also school songs.
Lou Yu nodded: "I want to compose an inspiring hymn for our Eight States soldiers, and create a college song for the students of Qingrong College."
Both songs must be positive and positive energy must be spread, not the singing of Yan Yuying in the theater.
Yuanwei has lived in the capital since she was a child, so she has seen a lot and is naturally not afraid.
"Please rest assured, my lord, I will live up to my trust!"
"it is good."
The two began to discuss the lyrics.
Yuanwei was born in a kung fu hall, her speaking ability is natural, her voice is soft, her language is lively and witty, she often makes Lou Yu laugh.
When Huo Yan entered the courtyard, the actors of the theater were still waiting in the courtyard, looking enviously into the room.
They also want to talk to King Dong'an!
Seeing Huo Yan in military uniform at first glance, they took a few steps back one after another and made way out of the way spontaneously.
Feng Erbi happened to look outside the house, and when he saw Huo Yan, he reminded Lou Yu: "Commander Huo is here."
Iris was interrupted, so she raised her head and looked outside the house.
The young man in black clothes and red belt is full of heroism.
Without squinting, Huo Yan went straight in to salute.
"These hypocrisy will be avoided," Lou Yu said with a smile on his face, "Why are you free today?"
Huo Yan was serious: "I have military matters to report to the prince."
The two have been busy with official duties and have not seen each other for a long time.
Lou Yu didn't believe that he really had important military affairs, it was nothing more than hearing the news, which made him a little bit apprehensive.
He smiled and told Iris: "You go back and do what I ask, as soon as possible."
Iris saluted respectfully: "Yes. The slave will retire."
Before he left the room, his eyes inadvertently passed over the faces of Lou Yu and Huo Yan.
I was taken aback.
Feng Erbi also had a sense of humor, so he excused himself to leave the house and leave space for the two of them.
Lou Yu leaned on the couch and asked lazily, "Tell me, is there any urgent military affairs, and General Lao Huo made a special trip?"
Huo Yan took a step forward: "Does it look good?"
He rushed over in a hurry, his lips were slightly chapped, and his voice was a little hoarse.
Lou Yu felt distressed, got up and poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and handed it over.
"Do you mean singing and dancing, or beauties?"
Huo Yan took the teacup and seized Lou Yu's hand that was about to escape.
"Beauty?" The young man's eyes were dark.
Lou Yu nodded, "This beauty is an old acquaintance, you have seen it before."
Huo Yan raised his head and drank the warm tea, put the teacup on the table, picked up Lou Yu suddenly, and put it back on the soft couch.
"Can not remember."
Lou Yu tugged on his lapel, his eyes brightened.
"A few years ago when I came to Beijing to celebrate my birthday, he even pretended to be me. His name is Yuanwei. He is indeed a beauty. Do you remember?"
Huo Yan frowned subconsciously: "Isn't he Huizong's eyes and ears? How could he come to Qingzhou?"
Thinking suddenly turned a corner.
The ambiguous atmosphere dissipated instantly.
Lou Yu couldn't help laughing, and told him that he asked Iris to compose the military song.
"what do you think?"
Huo Yan stared at him, "OK."
"What good?"
"Everything is fine."
Lou Yu: "..."
Fool.
"It's getting late, when are you going back?"
Huo Yan said: "I still have military affairs to report."
Lou Yu laughed: "Then you can talk now, and leave after you finish speaking."
"Only at night."
"Okay, let's talk tonight."
Several months have passed since the Chinese New Year, and today I finally have free time, so I can't waste it.
On a spring night, the moon is shining, and the Luo mats are in pairs.The cold quilt suddenly warms up, and the jade pillow streamers.
Feng Erbi was standing outside the courtyard when he suddenly heard an uncontrollable sob.
His face suddenly became hot.
He couldn't help but think of the non-serious scripts he had secretly read before, and certain words flashed in his mind.
What playing the flute to make jade, what weeping dew and frost, oh, it's really embarrassing!
The red candle sheds tears, and the incense burner gathers fragrance.
Lou Yu fell into a deep sleep, and all the troubles in his mind disappeared.
He is exhausted.
The next morning, in the general office, Fan Yusheng came to find Lou Yu with a report, but was told that Lou Yu was not there, so he returned to the office wondering.
"Mr. Yang, did the prince say the day before yesterday that he would only take a day off? You already took a day off yesterday, why didn't you come today?"
Yang Guanghuai was writing at his desk, when he heard this, he said with a leisurely smile, "It would be nice to rest for a few more days."
"It's really good, but I'm not used to it." Fan Yusheng laughed.
Yang Guanghuai glanced at him and said meaningfully: "Combining work and rest is the right way."
Fan Yusheng thought so deeply.
Your lord has worked really hard these years.
Now that the development of Bazhou is on the right track, it is not a bad thing for the prince to take a break for a while.
Lou Yu didn't mean to be lazy on purpose.
He really overslept.
It was too late last night, and it was the first time, and there was no measure, it was really too much.
When he opened his eyes, it was already noon.
Feng Erbi was about to wait for him to wash, but was snatched away by Huo Yan.
He gave Huo Yan a hard look.
He is no longer an ignorant Xiaobai in the past, and he can see some clues from Huo Yan's lively expression early in the morning.
Thinking of His Highness suffering and suffering last night, how could he have a good face towards Huo Yan?
Huo Yan's face was full of radiance, and he didn't care if he was stared at. He happily stepped into the house with a basin in his hand.
Lou Yu leaned on the bed, his voice hoarse: "Water."
Immediately, a teacup was handed over, filled with warm water.
Lou Yu was about to raise his hand, but was pressed down by Huo Yan.
"I come."
Lou Yu had no choice but to drink a glass of water with his hand.
He got out of bed and stooped to pick up his shoes.
A pair of hands picked up the shoes ahead of time, and put them on for him reverently.
Lou Yu: "..."
Forget it, he couldn't bear to refuse someone who was so gracious.
"Before I wake up, is there someone in the yamen looking for me?"
Huo Yan put on his shoes and socks for him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, A Yu, there is no urgent business."
"That's good."
After washing up, Feng Erbi brought meals, all of which were light in taste.
Lou Yu sat down to eat, and Huo Yan sat down to eat with him.
How long he ate, how long he watched.
Lou Yu was amused by his stickiness.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at him: "There is nothing to do in the camp today? Why are you always waving in front of my eyes?"
Huo Yan said seriously: "Things can be done tomorrow, I will accompany A Yu today."
Lou Yu: "..."
He tried to divert Huo Yan's attention: "There is news from the secret department of the capital that Tang Cheng's arrogance has become more and more arrogant. I am worried that if it continues, it will be detrimental to His Majesty."
For someone like Tang Cheng, if no one suppresses him, the power will blind him sooner or later.
Once his sanity is gone, he will bite people everywhere like a crazy wolf, and Lou Bing will definitely bear the brunt of it.
Huo Yan: "Yes."
Lou Yu asked, "What do you think is Tang Cheng's weakness?"
"Ah."
"..."
Lou Yu turned his head and looked over, and saw General Huo, who was usually brilliant and mighty, staring at him in a daze.
He shook his head helplessly and stopped asking.
After eating, he got up and went to the courtyard to digest food. Huo Yan followed him step by step, like a big dog clinging to people.
Lou Yu ordered Feng Erbi to inform the general office that if there is an important official business, you can come to the mansion to report it, if not, just let it go.
The general government already has a mature mechanism, even if he is not around, it can still function normally.
Lou Yu spent another day leisurely.
Huo Yan was so clingy for a day.
But at night, the loyal dog who was gentle and considerate during the day turned into a fierce and greedy lone wolf, hugging Lou Yu and refusing to let go.
After all, being young and energetic, coupled with the essence of food and taste, is another night of absurdity.
If it weren't for Lou Yu's hard work and strong body, he might have been gnawed to pieces.
A few days later, Iris came to see Lou Yu with the manuscript of lyrics and music in her pocket.
Lou Yu read the lyrics first, sonorous, forceful, loud, catchy, full of power, really good!
He asked, "Can you find someone to sing and listen to it?"
"If the prince doesn't dislike it, I can sing to him." Yuanwei said aggrieved in a low voice.
Lou Yu explained: "It's not that I don't want to listen to you sing, it's just that your voice is mellow and melodious, and singing this kind of song should not be very suitable."
iris:"……"
He suddenly changed his voice and said: "My lord, do you think this is possible?"
Both Lou Yu and Feng Erbi were surprised.
This voice is thick and upright, quite different from the one just now.
Feng Erbi hurriedly said: "Why did you change your voice? Are you still good at ventriloquist?"
Iris shook her head: "It's just that the guests don't like this kind of voice. We have learned how to make the voice mellow and slender without leaving traces since we were young."
Lou Yu was amazed in his heart: Awesome!
A good baritone, forcibly practiced into an oriole.
But I have to say that after switching back to the baritone, Iris' temperament has also changed.
I felt pity for him before, but most of the charm in his brows and eyes has dissipated now.
Lou Yu said sincerely, "It's very good of you."
Iris smiled and said, "Thank you, my lord."
He stepped into the courtyard and stood under the sun, his handsome face glowing faintly.
It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
"My lord, please listen to the slave singing."
The next moment, Qingyue's loud and clear singing sounded suddenly, sonorous and frustrating, awe-inspiring and majestic. After hearing it, one's heart is surging and blood is passionate.
After a song, Iris said generously: "My lord, if the sound of the flute and the drum are added, the effect will be better."
Lou Yu couldn't help clapping his hands.
"Yes, very good, that's all. After you go back, select singers with loud voices to form a choir. There must be at least 50 people, both men and women. Then let the musicians rehearse the accompaniment. I will see the overall effect at that time. "
Iris understood roughly, but: "A singer?"
"It's an actor who can sing." Lou Yu paused, "If you practice well, you will be performing on stage in the future, so you should be called actors."
Iris's eyes were slightly red, and her voice softened again: "Thank you for your kindness."
Lou Yu smiled.
After the military song was finalized, the school song was also finalized.
I have to say that Iris' creative talent is beyond doubt.
But creating songs is only part of it. He organized these actors to create a performance troupe. When the time comes to tour the eight states, he will not only teach military songs, but also offer condolences.
"I heard that there are still performers in the theater?"
Harmony means that actors play clowns to make the audience laugh.
In the eyes of the people at the time, these were all low-level activities, which were very contemptible.
Iris nodded: "Yes."
"You go back and ask them to arrange a play. When you perform on stage, if you can make more than half of the audience laugh, I will reward you very much."
"Yes!"
After Iris went back, she told the owner of the hall the news, and the owner notified all the actors and actresses in the hall.
At the end of April, the military department received instructions, saying that in early May, King Dong'an would come to inspect the barracks, and express his condolences to the soldiers.
The official document says inspection, but no one knows how to inspect it.
Li Shu muttered, "Commander, what do we need to do?"
Huo Yan ordered: "Build a table and make it look better."
"..."
Li Shu asked curiously: "What are you doing with the platform? Is the prince going to speak to encourage the soldiers in the battalion?"
The corners of Huo Yan's lips rose: "I'll know when the time comes."
"Commander," Li Shu looked at him in surprise, "I found that you are in a good mood recently, have you met something good?"
Huo Yan suppressed his smile instantly, and glanced at him lightly: "Hurry up and get ready."
"Yes!"
Knowing that the prince was coming to inspect, the soldiers in the battalion geared up and trained desperately.
Everyone knows that the king of Dong'an attaches great importance to the combat power of the army. This time he came to inspect, and he will definitely test their training results.
On the first day of May, Lou Yu drove his car to the barracks.
Behind the car, there is still a string of teams.
In the team, everyone was wearing the same dark green outfit, tall and handsome.
The common people gathered on the side of the road to watch the excitement.
"What is this for?"
"I heard that our prince is going to inspect the barracks today."
"Then what do they do?"
"do not know."
"Huh? Isn't that the owner of the trick house? Why is he here?"
"When you said that, I remembered it. No wonder I saw a few people familiar. They turned out to be actors from the theater!"
"Why did the prince bring so many actors to the military camp?"
"do not know."
Amid the discussions among the common people, the convoy slowly approached the barracks.
The high platform has been set up, and the audience below is also in place.
Except for insiders, the rest of the soldiers in the camp did not know what the high platform was for.
Li Shu whispered to Zhou Man: "Does the prince want us to compete in martial arts?"
It's not just him who thinks so, the soldiers basically think so.
Zhou Man shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
"How to say?"
Zhou Man pointed to the flowers around the high platform, "Is this platform for us?"
"It's not like that, but it's ordered by the commander, maybe it's just to meet the prince." Li Shu winked, "You know, the commander treats our prince differently."
Zhou Man: "..."
He is much more careful than Li Shu.
Although Lou Yu and Huo Yan didn't show it on weekdays, but the natural eyebrows and lawsuits between the two, as long as there is a caring person, you can definitely see the clues.
Moreover, Huo Yan would rather give up the position of Patriarch, just to repay his kindness?
Zhou Man knew it well, but didn't say much.
He reminded: "My lord, don't guess randomly."
Li Shu nodded: "I know, I'll tell you."
If the prince can succeed in the future, people like Li Shu might be labeled as "peeping the emperor's heart".
"It's almost time, we have to go outside the camp to greet the prince."
"Let's go then, I haven't seen the prince for a long time."
When Lou Yu came by car, he saw a group of generals waiting respectfully outside the camp.
Huo Yan personally stepped forward and placed the car stool for him.
The two of them were one up and one down, their eyes met, and they both showed a bit of a smile.
"Welcome to your lord!"
Everyone half-kneeled and saluted.
Lou Yu said lightly, "No courtesy."
Then he glanced at Huo Yan.
Huo Yan understood and told his subordinates to introduce the performance troupe into the camp to make preparations.
A group of people in dark green clothes walked in the camp, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
But today when the prince came, they didn't dare to look around, and they didn't dare to whisper.
When Huo Yan asked people to build the stage, he had already set up a waiting area in the backstage according to Lou Yu's instructions.
The front was covered with a curtain so that the soldiers under the stage could not see what was going on behind them.
When they heard that the prince had arrived at the barracks, they all sat upright, fearing that the prince would be dissatisfied with their military appearance and discipline.
Not everyone in the camp was able to watch the show. In order to impress the prince, the audience selected by Li Shu and others were all the best in the camp.
Lou Yu's status is distinguished, so he naturally has a separate position.
All the generals are guarding the left and right.
At the right time, Yang Ji'an appeared on the stage, wearing a military uniform, tall and straight, with a radiant look.
The soldiers below have basically taken his ideological lessons, and they feel very cordial when they see him.
With a solemn face, Yang Ji'an ordered everyone to stand up and salute.
All the soldiers knelt down to Lou Yu in unison, very neat and solemn.
Lou Yu smiled and nodded.
Huo Yan gestured to Yang Ji'an, and Yang Ji'an asked everyone to stand up.
After everyone was seated, he spoke again: "Brothers, the prince came to the barracks today to express his gratitude for the hard work of the big guys, and specially asked our top performance team in Qingzhou City to perform a sympathy performance! Everyone applauds and welcomes!"
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
They don't know what the top performing troupe in the city is, but they know that this is a reward from the prince!
After Yang Ji'an withdrew, the chorus, led by Iris, boldly stepped onto the stage, and quickly stood in several rows according to the high and low steps.
The musicians beside the stage are already in place.
Everyone was astonished when they suddenly heard the sound of a drum, which shook their hearts.
After that, the drum beats became more and more dense, mixed with the clear and high-pitched flute sound, the sound shook the forest trees, and the sound stopped the clouds.
The strong men are about to go to battle. Looking around, they can only see banners and iron horses flying around.
They are clad in armor and wield sharp knives.
Ahead is a road full of thorns, and behind is a beautiful and peaceful home.
The enemy is coming.
Those wolves ruined their homes, slaughtered their relatives and friends, and destroyed everything they had.
They roared vigorously, brandished their knives and guns, cut through thorns and thorns, and thrust their sharp knives into the jackal's body.
The whole body was stained red with blood, whether it was the enemy's or his own.
They are firm rocks, they are fearless warriors, they cast their bodies into the Great Wall of Steel, desperately blocking the ferocious slaughter of wolves, tigers and leopards.
How strong they are!How great are they!
They blocked the pace of enemy aggression!
They guarded the homeland behind them!
They are heroes.
The singing was exciting and the music was majestic, but everyone heard tears and bowed their heads and wept.
Even Huo Yan couldn't help being moved.
He stared at Lou Yu beside him, his heart was burning.
Such a bright king, how can people disrespect or love him?
After the song is over, the audience is silent.
And this kind of silence happens to be the most extreme compliment to this song.
Lou Yu applauded first.
Huo Yan followed suit and applauded.
All the generals beside him clapped their hands.
All the soldiers in the audience stood up and applauded the choir.
Yang Ji'an came to the stage with red eyes.
"The title of this song is "Ode to the Torrent", which was specially written by the prince for us, which means that we are as tenacious and unyielding as a torrent of steel! From now on, this will be our military song!"
"My lord is mighty!"
I don't know who yelled, and everyone was hoarse.
"My lord is mighty!"
"My lord is mighty!"
"My lord is mighty!"
Lou Yu had a slight smile on his face, his eyes were noble, and his bearing was dignified.
Integrating the soldiers and horses of the eight states is not an easy task.
He is directly responsible for the training and ideological education of the army.
As long as there is any disturbance, he has to be dealt with.
Fortunately, the teachers in the army such as Yang Ji'an worked hard, and the advanced model report meeting was also quite effective. The eight states including Gyeongju have completely subdued tens of thousands of evils.
In addition, the state's defense and New Year's recruitment policies must be implemented in place.
He was dealing with military affairs in the camp when Li Shu came in suddenly and said in a thief-like way: "Commander, have you heard?"
Huo Yan didn't raise his head: "What?"
"It's about our prince."
Lou Yu is already a figure on the altar in Gyeongju, and the common people are quite concerned about his affairs.

It's about Lou Yu, Huo Yan raised his head suddenly: "What's the matter?"
Li Shu smiled meaningfully: "I heard that our lord invited many actors to perform songs and dances in the mansion, and many of them were pretty good-looking. Think about it, our lord used to be pure-hearted and ascetic, but now he is eighteen. , should be—lead you where to go!"
Before the words fell, Huo Yan's figure had disappeared outside the camp.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Huo Yan galloped all the way to Xincheng and stood outside Lou Yu's house.
There was no sound of silk and bamboo in the house, nor was there a singing voice, but he had extraordinary hearing, and could vaguely hear some laughter.
When the young general guarding the house saw Huo Yan, he immediately stepped forward to salute: "I have seen the commander!"
Huo Yan said indifferently: "Your Highness has summoned actors to play in the mansion?"
The young general nodded: "Yes, but the commander has something important to meet with the prince?"

That is to say, they are not specially trained special workers, but just because of their convenient status, let them do some light tasks.
Lou Yu only believed half of what he said.
After all, how can he be a simple person who has been living in a place where fish and dragons are mixed since he was a child?
But whether what Iris said is true or not, Lou Yu doesn't care.
He just needs Iris to do something.
Then he smiled and said: "Get up and talk. I called you here because I want you to do something for me. If you do it well, you will naturally be rewarded."
Iris immediately expressed her position: "Your Majesty, just give orders."

"Beauty?" The young man's eyes were dark.
Lou Yu nodded, "This beauty is an old acquaintance, you have seen it before."
Huo Yan raised his head and drank the warm tea, put the teacup on the table, picked up Lou Yu suddenly, and put it back on the soft couch.
"Can not remember."
Lou Yu tugged on his lapel, his eyes brightened.
"A few years ago when I came to Beijing to celebrate my birthday, he even pretended to be me. His name is Yuanwei. He is indeed a beauty. Do you remember?"
Huo Yan frowned subconsciously: "Isn't he Huizong's eyes and ears? How could he come to Qingzhou?"
Thinking suddenly turned a corner.
The ambiguous atmosphere dissipated instantly.
Lou Yu couldn't help laughing, and told him that he asked Iris to compose the military song.
"what do you think?"
Huo Yan stared at him, "OK."
"What good?"
"Everything is fine."
Lou Yu: "..."
Fool.
"It's getting late, when are you going back?"
Huo Yan said: "I still have military affairs to report."
Lou Yu laughed: "Then you can talk now, and leave after you finish speaking."
"Only at night."
"Okay, let's talk tonight."
Several months have passed since the Chinese New Year, and today I finally have free time, so I can't waste it.
On a spring night, the moon is shining, and the Luo mats are in pairs.The cold quilt suddenly warms up, and the jade pillow streamers.
Feng Erbi was standing outside the courtyard when he suddenly heard an uncontrollable sob.
His face suddenly became hot.
He couldn't help but think of the non-serious scripts he had secretly read before, and certain words flashed in his mind.
What playing the flute to make jade, what weeping dew and frost, oh, it's really embarrassing!
The red candle sheds tears, and the incense burner gathers fragrance.
Lou Yu fell into a deep sleep, and all the troubles in his mind disappeared.
He is exhausted.
The next morning, in the general office, Fan Yusheng came to find Lou Yu with a report, but was told that Lou Yu was not there, so he returned to the office wondering.
"Mr. Yang, did the prince say the day before yesterday that he would only take a day off? You already took a day off yesterday, why didn't you come today?"
Yang Guanghuai was writing at his desk, when he heard this, he said with a leisurely smile, "It would be nice to rest for a few more days."
"It's really good, but I'm not used to it." Fan Yusheng laughed.
Yang Guanghuai glanced at him and said meaningfully: "Combining work and rest is the right way."
Fan Yusheng thought so deeply.
Your lord has worked really hard these years.
Now that the development of Bazhou is on the right track, it is not a bad thing for the prince to take a break for a while.
Lou Yu didn't mean to be lazy on purpose.
He really overslept.
It was too late last night, and it was the first time, and there was no measure, it was really too much.
When he opened his eyes, it was already noon.
Feng Erbi was about to wait for him to wash, but was snatched away by Huo Yan.
He gave Huo Yan a hard look.
He is no longer an ignorant Xiaobai in the past, and he can see some clues from Huo Yan's lively expression early in the morning.
Thinking of His Highness suffering and suffering last night, how could he have a good face towards Huo Yan?
Huo Yan's face was full of radiance, and he didn't care if he was stared at. He happily stepped into the house with a basin in his hand.
Lou Yu leaned on the bed, his voice hoarse: "Water."
Immediately, a teacup was handed over, filled with warm water.
Lou Yu was about to raise his hand, but was pressed down by Huo Yan.
"I come."
Lou Yu had no choice but to drink a glass of water with his hand.
He got out of bed and stooped to pick up his shoes.
A pair of hands picked up the shoes ahead of time, and put them on for him reverently.
Lou Yu: "..."
Forget it, he couldn't bear to refuse someone who was so gracious.
"Before I wake up, is there someone in the yamen looking for me?"
Huo Yan put on his shoes and socks for him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, A Yu, there is no urgent business."
"That's good."
After washing up, Feng Erbi brought meals, all of which were light in taste.
Lou Yu sat down to eat, and Huo Yan sat down to eat with him.
How long he ate, how long he watched.
Lou Yu was amused by his stickiness.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at him: "There is nothing to do in the camp today? Why are you always waving in front of my eyes?"
Huo Yan said seriously: "Things can be done tomorrow, I will accompany A Yu today."
Lou Yu: "..."
He tried to divert Huo Yan's attention: "There is news from the secret department of the capital that Tang Cheng's arrogance has become more and more arrogant. I am worried that if it continues, it will be detrimental to His Majesty."
For someone like Tang Cheng, if no one suppresses him, the power will blind him sooner or later.
Once his sanity is gone, he will bite people everywhere like a crazy wolf, and Lou Bing will definitely bear the brunt of it.
Huo Yan: "Yes."
Lou Yu asked, "What do you think is Tang Cheng's weakness?"
"Ah."
"..."
Lou Yu turned his head and looked over, and saw General Huo, who was usually brilliant and mighty, staring at him in a daze.
He shook his head helplessly and stopped asking.
After eating, he got up and went to the courtyard to digest food. Huo Yan followed him step by step, like a big dog clinging to people.
Lou Yu ordered Feng Erbi to inform the general office that if there is an important official business, you can come to the mansion to report it, if not, just let it go.
The general government already has a mature mechanism, even if he is not around, it can still function normally.
Lou Yu spent another day leisurely.
Huo Yan was so clingy for a day.
But at night, the loyal dog who was gentle and considerate during the day turned into a fierce and greedy lone wolf, hugging Lou Yu and refusing to let go.
After all, being young and energetic, coupled with the essence of food and taste, is another night of absurdity.
If it weren't for Lou Yu's hard work and strong body, he might have been gnawed to pieces.
A few days later, Iris came to see Lou Yu with the manuscript of lyrics and music in her pocket.
Lou Yu read the lyrics first, sonorous, forceful, loud, catchy, full of power, really good!
He asked, "Can you find someone to sing and listen to it?"
"If the prince doesn't dislike it, I can sing to him." Yuanwei said aggrieved in a low voice.
Lou Yu explained: "It's not that I don't want to listen to you sing, it's just that your voice is mellow and melodious, and singing this kind of song should not be very suitable."
iris:"……"
He suddenly changed his voice and said: "My lord, do you think this is possible?"
Both Lou Yu and Feng Erbi were surprised.
This voice is thick and upright, quite different from the one just now.
Feng Erbi hurriedly said: "Why did you change your voice? Are you still good at ventriloquist?"
Iris shook her head: "It's just that the guests don't like this kind of voice. We have learned how to make the voice mellow and slender without leaving traces since we were young."
Lou Yu was amazed in his heart: Awesome!
A good baritone, forcibly practiced into an oriole.
But I have to say that after switching back to the baritone, Iris' temperament has also changed.
I felt pity for him before, but most of the charm in his brows and eyes has dissipated now.
Lou Yu said sincerely, "It's very good of you."
Iris smiled and said, "Thank you, my lord."
He stepped into the courtyard and stood under the sun, his handsome face glowing faintly.
It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
"My lord, please listen to the slave singing."
The next moment, Qingyue's loud and clear singing sounded suddenly, sonorous and frustrating, awe-inspiring and majestic. After hearing it, one's heart is surging and blood is passionate.
After a song, Iris said generously: "My lord, if the sound of the flute and the drum are added, the effect will be better."
Lou Yu couldn't help clapping his hands.
"Yes, very good, that's all. After you go back, select singers with loud voices to form a choir. There must be at least 50 people, both men and women. Then let the musicians rehearse the accompaniment. I will see the overall effect at that time. "
Iris understood roughly, but: "A singer?"
"It's an actor who can sing." Lou Yu paused, "If you practice well, you will be performing on stage in the future, so you should be called actors."
Iris's eyes were slightly red, and her voice softened again: "Thank you for your kindness."
Lou Yu smiled.
After the military song was finalized, the school song was also finalized.
I have to say that Iris' creative talent is beyond doubt.
But creating songs is only part of it. He organized these actors to create a performance troupe. When the time comes to tour the eight states, he will not only teach military songs, but also offer condolences.
"I heard that there are still performers in the theater?"
Harmony means that actors play clowns to make the audience laugh.
In the eyes of the people at the time, these were all low-level activities, which were very contemptible.
Iris nodded: "Yes."
"You go back and ask them to arrange a play. When you perform on stage, if you can make more than half of the audience laugh, I will reward you very much."
"Yes!"
After Iris went back, she told the owner of the hall the news, and the owner notified all the actors and actresses in the hall.
At the end of April, the military department received instructions, saying that in early May, King Dong'an would come to inspect the barracks, and express his condolences to the soldiers.
The official document says inspection, but no one knows how to inspect it.
Li Shu muttered, "Commander, what do we need to do?"
Huo Yan ordered: "Build a table and make it look better."
"..."
Li Shu asked curiously: "What are you doing with the platform? Is the prince going to speak to encourage the soldiers in the battalion?"
The corners of Huo Yan's lips rose: "I'll know when the time comes."
"Commander," Li Shu looked at him in surprise, "I found that you are in a good mood recently, have you met something good?"
Huo Yan suppressed his smile instantly, and glanced at him lightly: "Hurry up and get ready."
"Yes!"
Knowing that the prince was coming to inspect, the soldiers in the battalion geared up and trained desperately.
Everyone knows that the king of Dong'an attaches great importance to the combat power of the army. This time he came to inspect, and he will definitely test their training results.
On the first day of May, Lou Yu drove his car to the barracks.
Behind the car, there is still a string of teams.
In the team, everyone was wearing the same dark green outfit, tall and handsome.
The common people gathered on the side of the road to watch the excitement.
"What is this for?"
"I heard that our prince is going to inspect the barracks today."
"Then what do they do?"
"do not know."
"Huh? Isn't that the owner of the trick house? Why is he here?"
"When you said that, I remembered it. No wonder I saw a few people familiar. They turned out to be actors from the theater!"
"Why did the prince bring so many actors to the military camp?"
"do not know."
Amid the discussions among the common people, the convoy slowly approached the barracks.
The high platform has been set up, and the audience below is also in place.
Except for insiders, the rest of the soldiers in the camp did not know what the high platform was for.
Li Shu whispered to Zhou Man: "Does the prince want us to compete in martial arts?"
It's not just him who thinks so, the soldiers basically think so.
Zhou Man shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
"How to say?"
Zhou Man pointed to the flowers around the high platform, "Is this platform for us?"
"It's not like that, but it's ordered by the commander, maybe it's just to meet the prince." Li Shu winked, "You know, the commander treats our prince differently."
Zhou Man: "..."
He is much more careful than Li Shu.
Although Lou Yu and Huo Yan didn't show it on weekdays, but the natural eyebrows and lawsuits between the two, as long as there is a caring person, you can definitely see the clues.
Moreover, Huo Yan would rather give up the position of Patriarch, just to repay his kindness?
Zhou Man knew it well, but didn't say much.
He reminded: "My lord, don't guess randomly."
Li Shu nodded: "I know, I'll tell you."
If the prince can succeed in the future, people like Li Shu might be labeled as "peeping the emperor's heart".
"It's almost time, we have to go outside the camp to greet the prince."
"Let's go then, I haven't seen the prince for a long time."
When Lou Yu came by car, he saw a group of generals waiting respectfully outside the camp.
Huo Yan personally stepped forward and placed the car stool for him.
The two of them were one up and one down, their eyes met, and they both showed a bit of a smile.
"Welcome to your lord!"
Everyone half-kneeled and saluted.
Lou Yu said lightly, "No courtesy."
Then he glanced at Huo Yan.
Huo Yan understood and told his subordinates to introduce the performance troupe into the camp to make preparations.
A group of people in dark green clothes walked in the camp, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
But today when the prince came, they didn't dare to look around, and they didn't dare to whisper.
When Huo Yan asked people to build the stage, he had already set up a waiting area in the backstage according to Lou Yu's instructions.
The front was covered with a curtain so that the soldiers under the stage could not see what was going on behind them.
When they heard that the prince had arrived at the barracks, they all sat upright, fearing that the prince would be dissatisfied with their military appearance and discipline.
Not everyone in the camp was able to watch the show. In order to impress the prince, the audience selected by Li Shu and others were all the best in the camp.
Lou Yu's status is distinguished, so he naturally has a separate position.
All the generals are guarding the left and right.
At the right time, Yang Ji'an appeared on the stage, wearing a military uniform, tall and straight, with a radiant look.
The soldiers below have basically taken his ideological lessons, and they feel very cordial when they see him.
With a solemn face, Yang Ji'an ordered everyone to stand up and salute.
All the soldiers knelt down to Lou Yu in unison, very neat and solemn.
Lou Yu smiled and nodded.
Huo Yan gestured to Yang Ji'an, and Yang Ji'an asked everyone to stand up.
After everyone was seated, he spoke again: "Brothers, the prince came to the barracks today to express his gratitude for the hard work of the big guys, and specially asked our top performance team in Qingzhou City to perform a sympathy performance! Everyone applauds and welcomes!"
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
They don't know what the top performing troupe in the city is, but they know that this is a reward from the prince!
After Yang Ji'an withdrew, the chorus, led by Iris, boldly stepped onto the stage, and quickly stood in several rows according to the high and low steps.
The musicians beside the stage are already in place.
Everyone was astonished when they suddenly heard the sound of a drum, which shook their hearts.
After that, the drum beats became more and more dense, mixed with the clear and high-pitched flute sound, the sound shook the forest trees, and the sound stopped the clouds.
The strong men are about to go to battle. Looking around, they can only see banners and iron horses flying around.
They are clad in armor and wield sharp knives.
Ahead is a road full of thorns, and behind is a beautiful and peaceful home.
The enemy is coming.
Those wolves ruined their homes, slaughtered their relatives and friends, and destroyed everything they had.
They roared vigorously, brandished their knives and guns, cut through thorns and thorns, and thrust their sharp knives into the jackal's body.
The whole body was stained red with blood, whether it was the enemy's or his own.
They are firm rocks, they are fearless warriors, they cast their bodies into the Great Wall of Steel, desperately blocking the ferocious slaughter of wolves, tigers and leopards.
How strong they are!How great are they!
They blocked the pace of enemy aggression!
They guarded the homeland behind them!
They are heroes.
The singing was exciting and the music was majestic, but everyone heard tears and bowed their heads and wept.
Even Huo Yan couldn't help being moved.
He stared at Lou Yu beside him, his heart was burning.
Such a bright king, how can people disrespect or love him?
After the song is over, the audience is silent.
And this kind of silence happens to be the most extreme compliment to this song.
Lou Yu applauded first.
Huo Yan followed suit and applauded.
All the generals beside him clapped their hands.
All the soldiers in the audience stood up and applauded the choir.
Yang Ji'an came to the stage with red eyes.
"The title of this song is "Ode to the Torrent", which was specially written by the prince for us, which means that we are as tenacious and unyielding as a torrent of steel! From now on, this will be our military song!"
"My lord is mighty!"
I don't know who yelled, and everyone was hoarse.
"My lord is mighty!"
"My lord is mighty!"
"My lord is mighty!"
Lou Yu had a slight smile on his face, his eyes were noble, and his bearing was dignified.
