Zi Yan wanted to refute Rong Chang'an, but Rong Chang'an's words were logical, Zi Yan knew nothing about music, so he couldn't speak at all; he just mumbled his mouth, stared at his almond eyes, and was full of anger.
Li Hai was very interested in Rong Changan's words. She actually said that what the musician just played was not the closest to the real "Guangling San", and there are other "Guangling Sans" that are closer to the real in China.
"Queen, tell me, who is that person?"
Rong Chang'an smiled brightly: "He is none other than Prime Minister Yan Liyan, the pillar of the emperor!"
When Rong Changan was in disaster relief, he not only heard Yan Li play the flute and flute, but also heard him play the guzheng, which was really wonderful.
When Li Hai heard that it was Yan Li, he frowned: I didn't know Yan Li could play music, but Rong Changan did!
"Could Prime Minister Yan really know how to play the zither?" Li Hai didn't want to let down the good time on such a beautiful day, so it was good to ask Yan Li to help the fun.
Rong Chang'an said: "If the emperor calls him here, he will know."
Li Hai called Eunuch Liu over, took off a jade pendant from himself, and handed it to Eunuch Liu.
"You take my jade pendant to see Prime Minister Yan, and tell him that I summoned him in Jinmingchi and asked him to come over right away!"
"The old slave obeys the order!"
Ziyan took a sip of the sweet wine, smashed her mouth, squinted at Rong Changan: "Queen, what if Prime Minister Yan can't play "Guangling San" for a while?"
Rong Changan said: "What do you think should be done, Concubine Ziyan?"
Mingli and the two respect each other, but in fact they are engaged in a secret war.
Zi Yan covered her mouth and smiled: "How about this, Prime Minister Yan will come in a while, and he will be your doorman; the musician just now will be my doorman. We two are fighting music, whoever's doorman can play the music well will be How about the winner and the loser drink?"
Zi Yan never wanted to embarrass Rong Changan.
Rong Changan saw through her thoughts, thought for a while, and his eyes were full of confidence: "Then who will decide the winner?"
Ziyan wanted Li Hai to decide the outcome, but Li Hai first said the way to decide the outcome: "Queen Rong and Concubine Ziyan, do you think this is good? Prime Minister Yan or the musicians have finished playing, let the concubines present raise their hands , If you lift more, it means whoever plays well, and if you lift less, it means that this person is not very good at playing. Let's win two out of three rounds, okay?"
This method is the most fair, Rong Changan has confidence in Yan Li, so he clapped his hands repeatedly: "The emperor's method is the best, I agree!"
Zi Yan had no choice but to agree: "I also agree with the emperor's method."
The whole boat was waiting for Yan Li's arrival.
When Yan Li heard that Li Hai asked him to go to Jinmingchi, he was still angry with Rong Chang'an and didn't want to go; helplessly, Eunuch Liu brought Li Hai's jade pendant, if he didn't go, he would have committed a crime of disrespect.
Hearing that Eunuch Liu said he was going to play the guzheng, Yan Li knew that this was Rong Changan's idea, and he was even more unhappy.
Holding the zither at home, he followed Eunuch Liu to the Jinming Pond.
An eunuch greeted, and there was a noise from the other side of the painting boat, and a small boat was rolled over, and Yan Li and Eunuch Liu were boarded to the painting boat.
Seeing Yan Li, Rong Changan smiled triumphantly, as if saying: You said you didn't want to see me, but it's only been a few days, and you have to come to see me again!
Yan Li lowered his head and didn't look at Rong Changan. When he came to Li Hai, he prostrated and shouted long live.
"Prime Minister Yan Li kowtows to my emperor, long live long live long live!"
"Prime Minister Yan doesn't need to be so courteous! Come here, give me a seat!" Li Hai pointed to the guzheng in Yan Li's hand, "I heard from the queen that you can play the guzheng, and you can also play very old tunes, yes." no?"
Yan Li replied cautiously: "I know how to play music, but I can't play it well. In front of the emperor, it's really making a fool of myself, so it's better not to play it well."
Zi Yan grinned, looked at Rong Chang'an, and then at Yan Li: "Empress Rong said just now that the prime minister can play "Guangling San", but now you say that the play is not good, is this not giving the queen face, or is it Is the queen joking with the emperor?"
The purpose of Zi Yan's words is obvious: if Yan Li can't play, then Rong Chang'an is deceiving Li Hai, which is a crime of deceiving the emperor!
Rong Changan was not in a hurry, the corners of his mouth curled into a beautiful arc, like a crescent moon in the third and fourth grades of junior high school.
"Prime Minister Yan, you have to be honest. If you know how to do it, if you don't know how to do it, you don't know how to do it. If you don't know how to do it, I don't blame you. The emperor will definitely not punish you. He will imprison me for a month at most. Punish me for lying."
After hearing Rong Changan's words, Yan Li couldn't bear it: If he didn't play "Guangling San", Rong Changan might be punished by Li Hai. After pondering for a while, he replied:
"Your Majesty, I know how to play "Guangling San", so I don't know if I can get into the ears of the Emperor."
Li Hai really didn't expect Yan Li to be so versatile, and he couldn't help admiring him in his heart.
"Prime Minister, you start playing now, I want to hear what the Queen's so-called 'splash' technique is like."
Eunuch Liu has already led the eunuchs to lay down shelves and chairs for Yan Li. Yan Li sits among the concubines, wearing a wide robe and sleeves, he tuned his voice clangingly, and then made a salute to Li Hai and the concubines. The expression is fixed, as slender as a woman's finger flicks, clangs and gurgling, then ripples ripple out round after round.
Yan Li played it quietly and elegantly, like the rushing water, like the gurgling of a mountain spring. It can be said to be the latent flood dragon dancing in the secluded gully, and the Li woman weeping in a lonely boat. Soon, all the little sparrows around Jinming Pond were attracted to rest on the side and mast of the boat.
But when it came to the seventh section of "Guangling San", Yan Li suddenly sped up the rhythm. His hands seemed to be splashing something outside, plucking the strings on the guzheng. It's like it's raining, and the eaves are dripping water.
No matter whether Yan Li played slowly or hurriedly, those sparrows always stopped at the original place, only occasionally turning their heads, as if possessed by a demon. Those concubines, when the musician played just now, they were still bowing their heads and whispering, but as soon as Yan Li played, they felt that there was not a pore of discomfort on their bodies, and all the boredom and impetuousness in their hearts were completely washed away. Skills, self-cultivation, and judgment.
When Yan Li stopped playing, Li Hai and all the concubines were still immersed in the tune just now.
"Your Majesty, how did Prime Minister Yan play?" Rong Chang'an already knew about this round, and Zi Yan lost.
Before Li Hai recovered, Zi Yan tugged at his sleeve: "Your Majesty, what do you think of Yan Li's playing? Is it better than the musician's playing just now?"
Seeing the hatred in Zi Yan's eyes, Li Hai coughed twice, and did not say that Yan Li played well, but only said: "Prime Minister Yan played well. But whoever played well between him and the musician, I can say Forget it. Now ask all the concubines to raise their hands, whoever gets more concubines who raise their hands means that he can play better."
