Chapter seven hundred and fifty second piano
When Brother Wang and Prince Wang’s concubine heard this, they couldn’t help but look embarrassed, but Brother Wang’s concubine still walked onto the piano platform. She gently brushed the guqin and the guqin actually trembled.
Unexpectedly, before everyone could applaud, the guqin disappeared again. The prince's concubine's face looked a little ugly and she said, "I can't play it either."
The envoys of the Rong clan became even more proud: "The great Xia is nothing more than that!"
At this time, the king stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I know someone, and maybe I can play this silent piano."
Not long after, the person recommended by Brother Wang arrived.
The person who came was a trembling old woman. Brother Wang introduced that this was the Guqin teacher in his house. Although he was not very famous, he had a high skill.
Everyone was a little disdainful when they saw the old woman's appearance.
The old woman was very kind and bowed to the king and bowed to the court officials.
The king asked, "May the old woman play this piano?"
The old woman nodded and said, "I am sure to play this 'Tianfeng Qin'."
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was filled with an uproar.
The Tianfeng Qin is the most famous treasure zither in China, but this zither disappeared twenty years ago. How could the silent zither brought by the envoy of the Zhang Rong clan be the Tianfeng Qin?
The king took the lead in retorting: "This one is obviously a silent piano, how could it be a Tianfeng piano? Old woman, have you read it wrong?"
But the old woman said confidently: "Have the king ever heard of the 'Fengyin'?"
The king shook his head.
"If the king is patient, why not listen to me tell a story." Then the old woman slowly began to tell the story.
It turned out that twenty years ago, a young lady from a genius general's house named Qinsang. Qinsang learned the piano since she was a child and had excellent piano skills. There was also a Tianfeng Qin presented to her by experts. Qinsang's playing can be said to be a combination of human and piano, and everyone appreciated her piano skills.
Uncle Wang's family, who was enfeoffed, had a son who was publicly selected for his concubines at that time. It is said that the prince was obsessed with the guqin and used playing the piano as a test question for selecting concubines. Any woman with excellent piano skills may be favored by him. In this way, everyone believes that Qinsang is the best candidate for the prince's concubine.
On the eve of choosing a concubine, my friend’s daughter Qiongrui found Qinsang and said sadly: “Maybe you will become the princess soon. Once you enter the palace, you will be as deep as the sea. I don’t know when I will hear your piano again. Can you play a song for me today?”
Qiongrui and Qinsang are good friends who have been playing since childhood. After hearing what she said, Qinsang was also very sad, so she played the song "Birds Singing in the Empty Mountain".
Qiongrui also specially placed a bronze beast incense burner next to Qinsang to add incense to her performance.
This song "Birds Singing in the Empty Mountain" actually attracted all the birds around to stop and listen. Qiongrui was also very moved after listening, and the two hugged each other and cried.
Three days later, the crown prince's concubine was elected. Tian Qinsang was practicing the piano, but suddenly found that Tian Fengqin could not play any sound. She hurriedly found the master who gave her to her and asked the reason. After checking the master, King Lei, asked, "Have you encountered anything unusual recently?" Qinsang shook his head.
The master frowned and said, "That's strange. The Tianfengqin must have been hit by the technique of "sealing the sound."
The so-called "sealing sound" means using a container that uses a secret technique to seal the sound of the guqin, and the sealed guqin can no longer make any sound.
Qinsang was frightened and hurriedly asked what to do on the day of the concubine's election. The master said that he could only use another piano instead, and he could take one step at a time.
On the day of choosing a concubine, Qinsang came to the prince's mansion nervously. She was surprised to find that Qiongrui was also there. It turned out that she was shortlisted for the selection of the prince's concubine.
The prince politely asked Qiongrui to sit down and play the piano. When Qiongrui made a move, Qinsang was shocked. Not only because the song she played was beautiful, far beyond her usual level, but also because the tune seemed familiar, it was "Birds Singing in the Empty Mountain" played by Qinsang!
At this time, Qin Sang discovered that the bronze beast incense burner of that day was placed on Qiongrui's piano desk. Only then did she remember what her master said: In addition to the art of "sealing sounds", there was also the art of "reposting" the art of "reposting" and "reposting", which was to "stole" other people's piano sounds and spread them as her own piano sounds.
Obviously, the incense burner was the prop that Qiongrui "stole" her piano sound and stole it for herself.
After the song was played, Qiongrui's skills were shocked, but Qinsang's face turned pale with anger. She never expected that Qiongrui would betray her!
"I heard that Miss Qinsang has the best piano skills for a long time. Can you give me some advice today?" The prince looked at Qinsang with anticipation.
At this point, Qinsang had to bite the bullet. However, Tianfeng Qin had changed to an ordinary Qin, and she was indignant, so she performed quite averagely when playing.
After the play, the prince asked disappointedly: "This is not a Tianfengqin, Miss Qinsang, why don't you use Tianfengqin?"
Qinsang was stunned and had to lie and said, "The Tianfeng Qin is broken, I'm sorry I can't use it."
At this time, Qiongrui fell into trouble and said, "As far as I know, Tianfengqin should be in the mansion."
When the prince heard this, he was furious: "Miss Qinsang, but I look down on my palace?"
It was too late for Qinsang to explain. Under Qiongrui's slander, Qinsang's father was dismissed from his post and his whole family was sent to the border. On the way, Qiongrui sent a killer to cut off Qinsang's tendons and pushed her down the cliff. Fortunately, she survived the disaster and was rescued by Wang Di's father. Not only did she find a famous doctor to cure her hand, but she also asked her to teach Qinyi to Wang Di, who was still the prince at the time. In this way, she stayed in the palace for twenty years.
Finally, the old woman said that she was Qinsang from that time!
After hearing Qin Sang's story, all civil and military officials changed their faces. First, the story was very bizarre, and second, twenty years ago, the prince was the current prince's younger brother, and Qiongrui was the nickname of Prince Prince's concubine! This old woman told this story, accusing the evil deeds of Brother Wang and Prince's concubine.
The king said furiously: "This woman is confusing the public and begged the king to order her to be dragged out and behead her!"
Qinsang was very calm: "What I said is true or false. Can you wait for a moment and let me play a song?"
There was no consensus between the two sides. The king looked at the Rong envoy beside him and said, "Forget it, you can play a song first."
Princess Wang's face was also very ugly. In order to destroy the evidence, she gave the Qin to a Rong ronin. Unexpectedly, after many years, Qin Sang actually appeared at the same time as this Qin!
Qinsang started playing the piano, but he still didn't sound after the strings were plucked.
Princess Wang let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "You can't play, don't you admit to lying?" But Qinsang was not disturbed at all and still played calmly.
Unexpectedly, something strange happened. Brother Wang suddenly changed his expression, as if he heard some wonderful music, looking intoxicated.
The envoy of the Rong clan stood up in surprise: "This is the song of the heart? The legend is that the silent zither is not impossible to play, but the song played cannot be heard by the ears. Only those who are destined to hear it with their hearts!"
Seeing that more and more people were "hearing" the music, Wang's concubine was anxious: "What kind of heart songs? These must be her accomplices, who cooperated with her to act!"
Brother Wang said angrily: "Is it true or false? Why are you impatient to wait? Why are you so anxious?"
At this time, a miracle happened, and suddenly there were birds singing in the palace. On the window frame, swallows and sparrows were covered with beams.
"A phoenix sounds, and hundreds of birds come to watch." The musician who is familiar with music was also stunned and thought of this ancient prophecy.
Qinsang glanced at Prince Wang's Concubine coldly and said, "The song I am playing now is "Birds Singing in the Empty Mountain"! Why, now you are so obsessed with greed, can't you hear it?"
The concubine of the king wanted to refute, but the king waved his hand and said, "Stop talking, I heard it too!"
In fact, twenty years ago, Master Lei Wang also told Qinsang that although the sound of Qin was sealed, the sound of heart is still there, and he taught her the method of playing the "Heart Song" and asked her to try it at a critical moment.
Before Prince Wang was convicted, she also asked to use the Tianfeng Qin to play the Heart Song, but she did not expect that the Prince was a person with a reputation and could not hear the Heart Song at all. Instead, she hated her even more and cured her for being exiled by her whole family.
When everyone saw that the king said this, they saw that the eyes of Wang and Wang's concubine changed. The king also sighed. He never expected that his younger brother and sister-in-law would be so cruel and insidious! But after all, they were relatives of the king's country, and he could not punish them for such a trivial matter.
At this moment, a general ran in and whispered to the fourth brother of the king for a while.
After hearing this, the fourth brother of the king changed his face and reported: "Master, this Rong envoy is unjust. As soon as he enters the royal city, he contacts the court officials and makes plans."
The king of the king was furious: "Who is so bold?"
The fourth brother raised his hand and pointed: "It's the seventh brother." (To be continued)
