Where does Boyikao know that the two pieces of music played by the "Guo Shi", one is taken from "The Wild Geese Falling on the Sand" and the other is taken from "The Eighteen Beats of Hujia", both are famous songs of "later generations" and can be called eternal masterpieces. Even the last few farewell sounds were selected from the famous score "High Mountains and Flowing Waters", which was played by famous guqin masters of later generations and played through the super computer. Although Ji Chang and his son are both good at playing the qin, and Boyikao is even more proficient in it, at this time The development of piano art in China is still at a relatively early stage, and the music score is also limited. How can it be compared with the masterpieces of later generations that have been tempered and improved for thousands of years?
Zhang Zixing turned his gaze to Boyikao, who had a dull expression, and said: "Bo Yikao, I have already spoken. If you are really unparalleled in your piano skills, you should be reunited with Ji Chang. Now it seems that although you have outstanding piano skills, you are far away." You are not as good as the Imperial Master, and you will definitely not be worthy of the reputation of "unparalleled in the world"! I miss your filial piety and cannot bear to punish you for the crime of deceiving the emperor. I asked the Ministry of Rites to return the three treasures you presented to the Huanghua Posthouse. You can retreat and there is no need to worry about Youli. If you say any more, I will leave Chaoge within seven days."
At this time, Fang Xi, who had been promoted to the head of the Ministry of Etiquette, stood up and asked: "Your Majesty, there are still ten beauties in the Boyi examination this time. What should I do..."
The emperor glanced at Daji, frowned, glanced at Fang Si, and said impatiently: "The beauties... also all returned to the post house, and will leave together with Boyikao."
Fang Si was glared at by the emperor, suddenly realized, and showed a remorseful expression, but he was just as obedient as he was, not daring to say anything more. All the ministers laughed at this man for being so smart, but in a moment of confusion, he actually did this in front of the beautiful concubine who was so favored by him. Ask the emperor about the beauties. As soon as he said this, even if the emperor wanted to keep those beauties, he would not be able to say it in front of the beautiful concubine.
Daji glanced at Fang Si with satisfaction, nodded and praised: "I have heard for a long time that the great minister is attentive, and everyone in the etiquette department is convinced. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true."
When the emperor saw Daji praising Fang Xi, he immediately ordered to give Fang Xi a heavy reward. Those ministers looked surprised, that's what happened! They couldn't help but secretly admire Fang Xi's method: although this move seemed wrong on the surface and made the emperor temporarily unhappy, it was able to obtain the beauty of Fang Xi. The attention and appreciation of the concubine are indeed very wise. No wonder this man was able to serve as a general, win the trust of the emperor, and be promoted repeatedly. It is indeed no accident.
Unexpectedly, Boyikao was defeated in this duel, and the emperor even returned all the tributes he had given. It seemed that there was no room for change in the matter, and he couldn't help but look ashen, and almost lost his footing.
Daji took the Golden Jue, filled it with fine wine, handed it over to Zhang Zixing, and said: "Now that I heard the master's natural music, I realized my unparalleled skills. I have been proficient in music theory since I was a child, and I have the intention to seek advice from the master and pass it on to the Tao of Qin. As soon as my concubine has learned well, she will accompany your majesty in the morning and evening, so as to enjoy her leisure time. Please do it for your majesty."
Zhang Zixing was greatly surprised by this request. Even though Boyikao's admiration for Daji was fleeting, he noticed it. In the original book, it was not Daji who fell in love with Boyikao's "male lust". Was she trying to seduce her in the name of learning piano? Why did her target suddenly change to that national teacher this time? Could it be that she was attracted to the "Xiaoyaozi" who was covered in metal, didn't reveal his true face, and almost killed her? It was simply absurd!
But having said that, if Daji wanted to seduce Boyikao like in the original work, Zhang Zixing would never let it go. Although Daji did not really want to be his wife, she was his woman after all, and she had the same appearance as Yuxian , Zhang Zixing is not like a bastard king like Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, who is willing to wear a green hat on his head. To deal with Boyikao, there are many strategies, and he cannot let himself be known as a "turtle"!
The question is, now the person Daji wants to "pass on her skills" is actually "Xiaoyaozi". What is her purpose?
Seeing his hesitation, Daji said again: "I remember that Your Majesty once promised me to give you the jade pipa to wind up and play for Your Majesty. Now that the Imperial Master has returned, I just took this opportunity to ask the Imperial Master for details."
.”
It turned out to be about the pipa spirit! Zhang Zixing secretly sneered. Daji's scheming was probably in vain. The jade pipa had long been banned by Kong. Unless a saint took action, it would be impossible to give the pipa to her.
Back to basics. At present, Daji's "confusion" of him is very successful. Will Nuwa be so affectionate and willing to waste her efforts to save Pipa Jing, a loser? What's more, according to Zhang Zixing's judgment and observation, Nuwa and Daji are at best
It is through a certain method and occasional contact, but it is rare to see him face to face. To say the least, even if Pipa Jing is resurrected, it will just become another pawn of his.
Zhang Zixing thought for a moment, smiled, took the Golden Jue and drank it down in one gulp, and said with a smile: "My beloved concubine is so virtuous in explaining her words, how can I refuse? It's just that the Imperial Master is an outsider and doesn't like worldly things.
It was only by chance that I became the Imperial Preceptor. I also had a promise to him not to follow the court etiquette, so he just left without saying goodbye. Now that you are your beloved concubine, I should fulfill your wish, so I will send someone to convey the edict, please
How about going to Zhaixing Tower to teach the piano right after the Imperial Master’s Banquet?”
When Daji saw that the emperor agreed, she looked happy and resorted to various means to persuade him to drink again and again. Zhang Zixing was trying to take this opportunity to get drunk and deceive others, so as to plot against the Boyi exam. He drank several titles in a row and drank with all the ministers. Finally,
Sure enough, he was so drunk that he fell unconscious.
When all the ministers saw that the emperor was drunk, they all got up and left. Daji ordered the palace attendants on her left and right to help the emperor return to the Longevity Palace to rest.
In the Shouxian Palace, not long after Daji put Zhang Zixing to sleep, she heard that Gun, the palace maid nearby, came to repay the donation. The Imperial Master had replied to His Majesty's order and asked the empress to wait a moment and immediately went to Zhaixing Tower to pass on the piano.
As soon as Daji heard this, she immediately became energetic. She asked Gun to take care of the sleeping emperor, put on makeup, and went to Zhaixing Tower. Not long after Daji left, Bingxue, who received the master's instructions, immediately came to Shouxian Palace.
He transformed into Zhang Zixing and lay on the couch.
Zhang Zixing quickly put on Mokai and flew out of the palace. To avoid Daji's suspicion, Zhang Zixing specially activated Mokai's filtration system and took a special refreshing pill to completely eliminate the smell of alcohol on her body. Daji came to Zhaixingxing
Go downstairs and order people to take two qins, arrange the seats, tables and chairs for the upper and lower parts, and make a formal posture of passing the qin around.
After a while, I heard a report from the chamberlain: "The Imperial Master Xiaoyaozi has arrived in front of Zhaixing Tower and is waiting for your Majesty's orders."
Daji ordered: "Invite the national master to go to Zhaixing Tower to teach the piano according to the emperor's imperial decree."
Soon, I saw a man wearing a cloak and armor walking upstairs.
When this person saw Daji, he just nodded a little, and still said in the strange mixed voice: "Xiaoyaozi has seen the beautiful concubine."
Daji deliberately said angrily: "Although you are a national teacher, you are also a minister. Why don't you worship me when you see me?"
The Imperial Preceptor replied: "Your Majesty has already promised that a poor Taoist will not follow the court etiquette. Why should I ask the question knowingly?"
Daji smiled and said: "Don't be offended by the Imperial Master. I really don't know. The Imperial Master is the master of a country. I should also treat the Imperial Master as a disciple and invite the Imperial Master to take my seat."
The imperial master did not refuse. After thanking him, he took his seat.
Daji gently plucked the strings of the qin and said in a loud voice: "The qin is the sound of a gentleman, and it cannot be heard by ordinary people. Move back to the left and right, so as not to disturb the master's teaching of the qin."
Daji was deeply favored by the emperor. Although the palace maids and servants around her knew that this move was inconsistent with etiquette, they were intimidated by the power of the beautiful concubine and did not dare to say anything. They bowed their heads and retreated.
After retreating left and right, Daji Yingying stood up, walked to Zhang Zixing, smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Xiaoyao, are you okay?"
Zhang Zixing snorted coldly: "Didn't the Yanfei Empress still want me to bow down?
Daji covered her face and smiled softly, displaying her seductive charm, and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, so we are joking with each other. Please don't take it personally."
"Now that you are a beautiful concubine and have won the favor of the emperor, you have just fulfilled your original intention of entering the palace. I am too lazy to care about your affairs. What is the purpose of summoning me here today by His Majesty's decree? Is it really just to learn the piano?
Is this such a boring thing?"
"On that day, my fellow Taoist allowed me to live, destroyed the cold palace, and attracted the emperor to meet me. That's why I am where I am today. Including the grace of saving my life when we first met, I owe a lot to my fellow Taoist. How dare I meet you?"
forget?"
Zhang Zixing still had a bad tone, and said coldly: "The emperor indulged in beauty, gradually neglected the government, and set up cannons and torture, which made people in the court panic. You can be regarded as a great reward for your hard work. I entered the court as an official, originally to achieve a certain cause and effect.
You are not really loyal to the great merchants, so I let you live. But I have to remind you, don't think that there is a saint behind you, and you can rest easy. If you want to subvert the power of the dynasty and the princes rebel, you will definitely lead the emperor to commit crimes.
You have committed countless sins and evil deeds. If you are lucky enough to succeed, you will be regarded as a sinner in the world and be blamed by thousands of people. When the time comes to investigate, the saint will definitely push you out of the crime for the sake of cause and effect. You will be irreversible and it will be too late to regret!"
What he was talking about was exactly the tragic ending of the three Xuanyuan demons in the original book. In the final battle, the three demons were betrayed by Nuwa and handed over to Yang Jian. They were killed in public. In the end, they were not even granted the title of god. In fact,
desolate.
Daji lowered her head and let out a long sigh: "Every word of what you Taoist said is true. However, since I am already in the situation, I can't look back. If I and my Taoist get along in a different place, what will you do?"
Zhang Zixing pondered for a while and answered word for word: "If you want to be safe, it is better to have broken jade. Since you are destined to have a miserable end, why do you have to endure hardships? If you fight hard, there may be a turn for the better. My life is up to me, not others. That's all.
!”
When Daji heard the words, her body trembled slightly. She thought for a long time and finally shook her head: "An ants still want to survive, let alone us cultivators? Besides, the saint is a person with great supernatural powers, how can he bully a little monster like me? Although my fellow Taoist has great ambition,
I admire it, but I disagree."
Zhang Zixing knew that she had not given up on Nuwa yet, so he did not explain, and said: "If you don't talk about it, just half a sentence. You and I are alone, and I fear being criticized by others. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Daji said anxiously: "Wait a minute, Taoist friend! Today, Taoist Taoist in Xianqing Hall played a song that made the emperor and his subjects intoxicated. I came here to learn the music from Taoist Taoist for the enjoyment of the king."
How could Zhang Zixing have the heart to teach her to learn the piano? Besides, the sound of the piano was originally a masterpiece of Super Brain. He immediately threw out a booklet that he had prepared earlier and said: "The method of playing the piano, as well as the music scores, are all in it. If you practice carefully,
, there should be some progress.”
Seeing him making a move to leave, Daji quickly said: "Fellow Taoist, please go slowly, I have one more thing to ask of you."
Zhang Zixing knew that she wanted to mention the pipa spirit, so he heard Daji say: "Has the emperor ever given a jade pipa to a fellow Taoist? Please do your best and pass it on to me as a gift. This matter has been approved by the emperor."
Zhang Zixing said coldly: "The jade pipa fell into my hand. This object was transformed by a goblin and was subdued by Jiang Shang, a disciple of Yuxu's sect. Why do you want it? Could it be that you know the goblin? Or... this goblin is related to
What does it have to do with you entering the palace?"
Daji was frightened by Xiaoyaozi's ability to draw inferences from one instance to another, so she had no choice but to say: "Fellow Taoist, don't worry too much. This monster was a disciple of my old master. Unfortunately, he was destroyed by the disciples of Chan Cult. Now I am determined to get his remains back."
, wind up the strings and practice, and make friends pay tribute."
Zhang Zixing revealed her plan with one word: "Winding exercises? Don't try to deceive me. I have improved my cultivation and received guidance from my master. Things are no longer what they used to be. If you want to take this thing back, I'm afraid you just want to borrow the sun and the moon."
Essence, help it return to its original state!"
Daji felt a chill in her heart, feeling that she was naked in front of this person, as if nothing could be hidden from him. After Zhang Zixing bluffed her, he stopped forcing her and took out the jade pipa from the magic bag.
, said: "Well, since the emperor has made a promise to you, as a national teacher, I can't hold it by force. I have already wound up this thing and now hand it over to you, so you can take care of yourself."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help!"
When Daji saw it, it turned out to be the jade pipa spirit. She was moved by the scene and felt sad. She was about to take it when she suddenly heard the other party say: "Just now you mentioned playing practice... can you play this pipa?"
Daji didn't know what she meant and shook her head. Zhang Zixing stretched out his armor-covered right hand, secretly dialed up a musical instrument program, plucked the pipa a few times, and said softly: "Listen to this piece."
Just listen to the sound of the pipa, sonorous and exciting, which directly shakes the heart. After a while, I noticed that this single pipa actually played a complex scene similar to the sound of gold, drums, gold, swords, and the sounds of people and horses.
, and yet silent. In the battle of life and death, there are strong feelings and deep sorrow. The tragic sound suddenly stops. The listener is excited at first, sad at the same time, and unable to shed tears at the end.
Daji's heart was attracted by this pipa music, and her face was alternately shocked and sad. When the song ended, she only felt tragic and at a loss as to what to do. She was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that my Taoist friend not only has unparalleled piano skills, but also has such wonderful pipa skills."
!What’s the name of this song?”
Zhang Zixing sighed: "This song is called "Ambush from Flying Daggers". Now the killings are about to start, and all parties are plotting against each other, even those saints. You have different intentions, lurking in the palace, seemingly hidden
In the dark, you are plotting against others, but your own situation is also very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be killed just like before. We meet today, or it is fate, so I will give you this song. I hope you will do well.
.”
Zhang Zixing's performance of "Ambush from Flying Daggers" was also improvised, with the intention of expressing one's own thoughts. Now the Western religion has begun to extend its hand into China, explaining that the contradiction between the two religions will further escalate, and the saints will begin to make their own plans, and
As the human world where the immortals want to end the massacre, he, the emperor, is naturally the focus of all parties. Dashang is surrounded by dangers, and a hard and long-lasting open and secret struggle is inevitable, just like the "ambush from all sides" encountered by Xiang Yu in later generations.
I wonder if he will suffer a tragic defeat like the Overlord of Western Chu in the end?
How did Daji know what he was thinking? Her eyes gradually glowed with wonder. She took the jade pipa from his hand, lowered her head and caressed it for a while, then suddenly raised her head: "Fellow Taoist, you have been very kind to me, but it's a pity that I have never seen you."
Zhenrong, I have a merciless request, can you please take off your mask and fulfill my wish?"
Zhang Zixing secretly thought that Daji would not be able to see through his true identity with that mask, so he took this opportunity to confuse her and make her identify Xiaoyaozi's face, so as not to doubt the emperor's identity in the future.
He pretended to be silent for a while, then secretly removed Mokai's helmet and revealed his face.
Daji quickly looked at it and saw that Xiaoyaozi had good features and bright eyes, but his appearance was a little ordinary. There was a shallow scar above the cheekbone on the left cheek. This face did not have the prowess of an emperor, nor the dignity of an emperor.
Wu Boyikao was handsome, but for some reason, Daji always found him very pleasing to the eye. She looked at him carefully with her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to remember this ordinary face in her heart.
Xiaoyaozi smiled at her, and then hid his face in his helmet again.
"Now, a murderous calamity is about to occur. Although you have a mission, you must not go too far. If you harm living beings and make people angry, I will try my best to offend the saint and turn you into ashes! I am about to go far away, so you can
Take care, I'm going on my own."
Zhang Zixing warned her a few words, thinking about the matter at Huanghua Inn, and stood up to leave.
Just as he was about to go downstairs, Daji suddenly called out from a distance: "Xiaoyao... fellow Taoist! If I am willing to fight as hard as you said, will you..."
Zhang Zixing did not expect that she would highlight these words, and was stunned immediately, stopped, and thought about Daji's usual tricks to deceive people, and was secretly wary in his heart. Daji hesitated to speak, her lips parted several times, but she could not muster the courage in the end.
In the end, he could only say vaguely: "Fellow Taoist, please take care of yourself and see you again someday."
Zhang Zixing nodded, turned and left, leaving Daji standing there in a daze. It took a long time for her to come back to her senses, gently violate the pipa, and turn all her thoughts into a long sigh.
After Zhang Zixing walked out of the Zhaixing Building, he hurried back to Shouxian Palace, changed his clothes, drank a few sips of the wine he had prepared in advance, and lay down on the dragon couch, still looking drunk.
At this time, a mosquito suddenly appeared in the Shouxian Palace, lingering in his ear for a long time, buzzing. Although Zhang Zixing closed his eyes tightly, a knowing smile appeared on his lips.
