Others did not know this person, but those who were regulars in the restaurant were very familiar with him.
Isn't this the crazy layman Mr. Drunken Poetry who loves to compose poems after being drunk all the time?
This man's surname was Shangguan, and he enjoyed poetry, but others liked to call him Mr. Drunk Poetry because he left many famous poems after being drunk, including many quatrains criticizing Li Tai's tyranny and praising beautiful love.
Chu Suiliang, who was in charge of Enke for the first time, was well aware of his literary talent. He visited him three times, just to use his talents for the Han Dynasty, but he was kicked out of the house. This time, he was able to use the name of the Han Emperor to recruit this person.
When the drinkers and literati saw someone coming, they all came forward to pay their respects.
A guest in Tsing Yi raised his hand in greeting and said: "I have seen Mr. Drunken Poetry. The Emperor of Han Dynasty first ascended the throne and held this ten-mile-long banquet. May I ask if Mr. Drunk Poetry will come to present the calligraphy treasure?"
Shangguan Yi impatiently motioned for him to get out of the way: The peerless wine is at the side, Miss Pei is at the front, you mediocre people who don’t understand the joy of life at all, why are you gathering around me?"
One sentence brings his free and easy temperament to the extreme.
"Look, Miss Pei is about to take action."
At the ten-mile long banquet, Qin Huaidao and the officials were at the main banquet in the center. Cheng Xiaomei, who was in charge of the cooking section of the state banquet, led her female officials to place countless delicacies in front of the officials' table, when they suddenly saw a strange aroma hitting their nostrils.
, it is more beautiful than all other rare treasures.
Even several princes who accompanied the Han Emperor to conquer the world were discussing the source of this fragrance.
immediately.
The beautiful and fragrant woman quietly jumped from the carriage to the center of the hundred officials. When she saw the Han Emperor, her expression did not change. She held the pipa and pressed it lightly with her fingers, and the sounds of nature came out.
Even Qin Huaidao couldn't help but applaud the pipa with such music.
The ancient pipa in her hand is probably of great origin.
Sure enough, when the knowledgeable officials saw the musical instrument, they couldn't help but paled: "Is this the legendary dragon-headed pipa Xiaohu Lei?"
After pointing it out, Pei Xianzhu (the name in the previous chapter was wrong and has been changed) nodded in agreement, which once again shocked the officials.
She was not in a hurry. After pressing the pipa, she tried to play two notes, and then bowed to Qin Huaidao: "Pei Xianzhu, a daughter of the people, paid her respects to the Emperor of Han. She has always heard that the Emperor of Han established the country with force and was invincible in battle. The daughter of the people dedicated a special song."
"The Music of the King of Han Breaking the Formation", please don't laugh at it."
Qin Huaidao told him that there was no need to be too polite: "Today the emperor is having fun with the common people, there is no need to stick to etiquette. All officials must have heard of Miss Pei's music, but I have never heard of it. Please don't hide your clumsiness."
His words were not really because of admiration for Pei Xianzhu. It was just that the officials were here and the emperor was on the throne. Even if the common people were well-informed, they were still just common people. It was impossible to say that he was not nervous at all, so he said this.
, I really just want her to relax.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After thanking him, Pei Xianzhu took his time and started playing music.
When I first heard it, the sound of the pipa was like the rustling of the autumn wind, a deep whisper that could not be heard unless you listened carefully. Then the music suddenly changed, and the sound was chaotic and noisy, like a battlefield with thousands of horses galloping, with swords, swords, shadows, horse hooves, and the sky filled with yellow sand.
Fly all the way.
As everyone listened, they couldn't help but be entranced, as if they were in the midst of thousands of armies, surrounded by enemy troops on all sides. Facing the moment of life and death, the soldiers showed steel-like will and still faced the opponent with a tired posture.
When they charged forward, the hero's life was short-lived and his bones would wither. Instead, all the soldiers burst out with an astonishing force and broke through the enemy's formation with ten thousand people surrounding one hundred thousand people.
"Okay!" Shangguan Yi, who was far away at the edge of the banquet, clapped his hands. He found a ladder from nowhere and climbed to the eaves of Zhuque Street. He took out the jade flute in his arms and started to resonate with the pipa.
Qin Huaidao heard the melodious and long sound from the majestic formation music, and the slow and rapid transitions made the scene change again. After the victory, the general returned, the soldiers disarmed and returned to the fields, picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely seeing the Nanshan Mountain.
After the song ended, everyone had endless aftertaste and was intoxicated by the indescribable beauty.
After a while, the crowd burst into roaring applause.
"What a great song, "The Music of the King of Han Breaking the Formation", powerful and atmospheric yet filled with the joy of returning home. Only this kind of music is worthy of the Han Emperor's ascension to the throne, and this kind of music is worthy of the founding of the Han Dynasty!" Fang Xuanling applauded loudly.
Wei Zheng, who has always claimed to be upright, also praised: "The meaning of the song is not only to praise the Han Emperor for his bravery, but also to express gratitude. There is softness in the hardness, and hardness in the softness. The girl is good at playing the piano."
Qin Huaidao was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Since you all have praised me, I will reward you with ten strings of jewels, twenty pieces each of silk and satin, some gold, silver and jade articles, and I will give you the title of 'State Banquet Music Leader'."
Pei Xianzhu was surprised and happy, but his face remained calm: "Thank you Your Majesty, the daughter of the people has one more thing to offer. This dragon-headed pipa is engraved with a dragon's head, which implies that your majesty is the supreme king, so the women of the people specially offer this pipa."
To Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty long live, long live, long live!"
Although this dynasty had corresponding taboos about real dragon names, etc., Qin Huaidao did not have so many objections, and it was even more impossible to kill people because of violating taboos.
So it's okay to leave this ancient pipa in Pei Xianzhu's hands.
but……
Governing a country is no better than managing a family. You cannot go your own way. In addition to Qin Huaidao's will, he also needs to take care of the will of the officials and the will of the people in the world. Conservative thinking cannot be changed overnight and can only have a subtle influence.
After thinking about this, he suddenly had an idea.
"I accept your dragon-headed pipa, but I have something to ask you. I wonder if you are willing?" Qin Huaidao said.
Pei Xianzhu saluted the Han Emperor and said, "Your Majesty just said so."
Qin Huaidao smiled and said: "The world has just been settled, and the people have just fled from the war. I want to use your joy to heal the people's pain of separation and tragic death of their loved ones. Therefore, I need you to do two things. First, I will open a Guo Yuefu in Chang'an.
Encourage talented people from all over the world to practice good music and spread it all over the world to inspire the world. You are the leader of the music. However, the Chinese Yuefu has no hierarchy and is directly under the orders of my commercial Yuefu, which is the business department."
"If you can't survive alone, I'll leave my team of musicians to you."
"Second, a good sword should be paired with a general, and a good musical instrument should be paired with the right person. You will keep this dragon-headed pipa for me, and use music to inspire the world on my behalf. Can you do these two things?"
Pei Xianzhu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty. The daughter of the people will not hesitate to die, but I dare to ask what this business is?"
The old troops who followed Qin Huaidao were no longer surprised by the strange ideas that the new emperor came up with, but the people below were surprised to hear them.
Even Mr. Zui Shi, who originally disdained officialdom, couldn't help but feel his eyes light up.
"The business editor has no rank and directly takes orders from the Han Emperor?" He was thinking about whether he could take this opportunity to make a big impact in his field.
At the central banquet, Qin Huaidao explained: "Yes, the Han Dynasty founded the country. I want to take this opportunity to implement a dual-track system. Those who handle administrative affairs, such as officials at all levels, are called administrative editors, and those who handle business transactions with various places are called business editors."
