Chapter 974: Map of Mountains and Rivers
"Are you the master cultivator?"
Qing Ji sat on the throne and looked at the teacher sitting far away with great interest.
"Return...report to King Wu, I am the master cultivator."
"Hahahaha! Sir, I have admired your name for a long time!"
Qingji laughed loudly and said: "Last year, I offered a huge reward to invite musicians from all over the world to compile a "Song of Wu" for my great Wu, so that it could be spread throughout the world and be famous forever!"
"Sir, your name has long been famous all over the world. I even sent a person to Wei County specially to invite you to join Wu and take charge of the compilation of "Wu Song" music. I just heard that your husband was missing. I never thought that you, sir, had already entered the throne.
He became an envoy to the country."
"Thinking about it, it really makes me sigh. You sir are so talented, why did you leave Wu instead?"
Ode, the basic meaning includes praise, blessing, etc.
This is a dance music used during sacrifices. Some of the lyrics to the music are included in the Book of Songs, which is divided into three categories: Zhou Song, Lu Song and Shang Song.
Qingji believed that Wu's achievements were unparalleled in the world, and that his own martial arts skills were unparalleled, so it was necessary to write a "Song of Wu" to praise his own merits.
Shixiu is not an ordinary musician either.
Shi Xiu's father is Shi Xiang, and his grandfather is the famous "Le Sage" Shi Kuang.
Shi Kuang was a minister of the Jin Dynasty during the Jin Dynasty. He was the Grand Master, the Grand Master of the Palace Music, the founder of Tai Chi in ancient times, an educator, and a thinker. He was the first to propose that "the people are more important than the king."
He is good at divination and deduction, and is revered as the ancestor of fortune tellers.
He was born blind (one theory is that he blinded his eyes because he concentrated on practicing the piano), so he called himself blind minister or Mingchen.
Shi Kuang was erudite and talented, especially good at music, good at playing the piano, and had a strong ability to distinguish music.
He was famous for his "Shi Kuang's cleverness" in later generations. It is said that Shi Kuang could hear the sounds of heaven. He was also proficient in the language of birds and beasts. When he played the piano, he could make phoenixes come to perform rituals. He was the prototype of the wind-eared person in myths and legends.
He has extremely high artistic attainments, and the famous piano music "Yangchun" and "White Snow" were composed for him.
As Shi Kuang's son, Shi Xiang is also not simple.
Shi Xiang was good at playing chimes, also known as Chime Xiang. He once served as a court music official in Weiguo and as a ritual and music master of Confucius.
When it comes to Shixiu's generation, he is also an amazing musician.
Three generations of his ancestors and grandson are all world-famous musicians.
"The King of Wu praised me erroneously. I...should...should not deserve such high praise from the King of Wu."
Shi Xiu swallowed, cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously, and his voice was trembling slightly instead of stuttering.
When Qing Ji saw this, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and asked with interest: "Sir, why are you so frightened? Is it possible that I look so scary that I scared you, sir?"
"Don't dare."
The teacher Xiu quickly lowered his head.
Yu Zheng, who was sitting on one side, bowed to Qing Ji on the throne in a neither humble nor overbearing manner and said, "Please forgive me, King Wu."
"Master Xiuzi saw the majesty of Wu and the prowess of King Wu, so he lost his composure."
"He was born into a family of rites and music. He was once a music official in the state of Wei, but he has never seen such a big scene!"
Hearing this, Qing Ji smiled and said, "So, Yu Zheng, are you someone who has seen big events?"
"I don't dare. I am a blind man, how can I see such a big scene?"
Qingji looked at Yu Zheng and saw that this man was blind. His eyes were stabbed, not blind from birth.
This aroused Qingji's curiosity and asked: "Yuzi, please forgive me for asking, you are a blind person, how can Dai Jun trust you and let you go to Xianyang as an envoy to discuss important national affairs?"
"..."
Before Yu Zheng could answer, Bo Xi, who was sitting on the side, sneered: "This is really disrespectful!"
"Is there no one left in the country of Dai? Is there no one available for the king of Dai? It is really unreasonable to send a blind man like you as an envoy to Wu!"
Hearing this, Yu Zheng said calmly: "The Kingdom of Zhao is not without people, but my king can trust me, so I asked him to envoy Wu. If the king of Wu looks down on disabled people, I will go back and let my king
Send another envoy to Wu."
"That's not necessary."
Qingji squinted his eyes and said, "It's just that, Yuzi, I am really a little confused. It seems that your blindness was not caused by congenital blindness, but by a stabbing?"
"The King of Wu is really insightful."
Yu Zheng lowered his head and said: "King Wu, to be honest, my eyes were blinded by an assassin. Not long ago, my king suffered an assassination. It was my king who protected me, which made my king trust me."
My dearest minister, I express my sincere condolences."
"However, I also lost my eyesight as a result, and both of my eyes were injured by the assassin."
"I see."
Qingji finally believed it.
After all, the assassination that Zhao Wuxie suffered more than two months ago could not be concealed from Qingji's informants in Dai Guo.
"Yu Zi, are you sincere in surrendering to Wu on behalf of your country?"
"There is a map of the country's mountains and rivers and a map of the state of Zhao, as well as the Suihou Pearl, which can be seen as a sign of sincerity!"
Qingji still knew a thing or two about this matter.
“Where is the map of mountains and rivers and the country?”
"Here is the map of mountains, rivers and the country!"
"Send it up."
"promise."
The government of Yu obediently handed over the map of mountains and rivers to Jiao Hua, the official of CRRC, and asked the latter to pass it on to Qing Ji for reading.
After Qingji saw the map of mountains and rivers, he was not interested.
After all, this is the territorial map of Dai State, which is not as detailed as the map drawn by Wu State.
It's just that the map of mountains and rivers symbolizes the state of Dai, so Qingji still smiled and accepted it.
"Where is the Suihou Pearl?"
"Suihou Zhu is here!"
Yu Zheng held a brocade box in both hands and said with great emotion: "Your Majesty, this is the pearl of Sui Hou."
"There is a Broken Snake Hill in the country of Sui. In the past, when I was traveling with my lord, I saw a big snake that was broken into two pieces. I saw that the snake had some supernatural powers, so I ordered my companions to treat it with medicine, and the snake was able to move immediately."
"This place is called the 'Broken Snake Hill'. A year later, when Suihou was on a boat, he encountered a sudden storm. A big snake held a big pearl in the water and offered it. It claimed to be the son of the Dragon King. It can be seen that Suihou's pearl does have an extraordinary origin!"
Qingji nodded.
Qing Ji still knew a little bit about the story of Suihou Zhu.
"The pearl of Suihou and the jade of Bian He. Those who get it are rich, and those who lose it are poor. I am lucky enough to get the pearl of Suihou and the jade of Bian He. It is really the destiny of destiny!"
"The king will live forever! The king will live forever!"
All the officials followed the complimenting Shan and shouted.
Such a proud Qingji is exactly what Yuzheng wants to see.
"King Wu, this Suihou Pearl is full of brilliance and can illuminate the room as if it were daytime. It is a rare night-bright pearl. If it is not dark and dim, you will not see its brilliance."
Yu Zheng said loudly: "I am bold and ask the king to cover this hall with a curtain to see the divine light of Suihou Pearl!"
"this……"
Qingji couldn't help but hesitate.
"Yuzi, why go to all this trouble? Since Daijun intends to offer the Suihou Pearl to show his sincerity, you can just hand over the Suihou Pearl to me."
"What King Wu said is wrong!"
Yu Zheng shook his head and said: "Mystical objects have spirits. The Suihou Pearl is a rare sight in a thousand years. It is a unique sacred object and a rare treasure in the world. How can it be easily revealed to others?"
"If you follow the rules, King Wu, you should fast and bathe for three days before you can welcome Suihou Zhu into Wu."
"It's just that my king sincerely offers the Suihou Pearl. However, the courtesy of King Wu must not be missed. If there is no corresponding etiquette to welcome the Suihou Pearl, I am afraid that the gods will be angry and punish the Wu Kingdom. Then it will be my fault and my king's fault!"
"
Upon hearing this, Qingji couldn't help but frown.
The ministers sitting under the throne could not help but whisper to each other.
This theory of God's punishment is as mysterious as it is mysterious.
