Dress up as a queen and start the game with a card drawing system

After three rounds of drinking, a minister of Zhou Dynasty sitting in the back said: "Your Majesty, do you want the singing and dancing artists to come and perform?"

Zhang Wensheng saw Qi Yun frowning slightly and said quickly: "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. The singing and dancing performers are all the former dance and music officials of Dazhou. Feeling of Your Majesty's kindness, they volunteered to come to add color to Your Majesty's banquet."

Seeing this, Qi Ruyu came slightly closer and whispered an explanation in Qi Yun's ear.

It turns out that because the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty advocated aesthetics and indulged in pleasure, they were extremely diligent in various skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, singing, dancing, music and so on.

How sophisticated are their pursuits of these arts?

Each type of project has a complete grade system, and they also have dedicated officials responsible for managing assessments.

Taking piano art as an example, the levels of piano masters are divided into Miku, Xiaoya, Daya, Master, Grandmaster, and finally, there can only be one Qinxian at the same time.

If a luthier wants to be known, he must hone his qin skills and pass the exams one level at a time.

Those who have reached a high level of skill, regardless of gender, will be respected and praised by others, and can also be given official titles and receive salaries.

This type of officials are collectively called art officials.

Who can be named an art official, who is not an old artist who has been immersed in the art for decades?

They deeply love this career. If it is just to make a living and improve their status, their level will not reach that extremely high level.

So when Qi Yun took over Jiangling City, everyone else was happy, but these art officials were uneasy.

Dayu did not have an art officer system, and they also learned from Dayu's soldiers that Emperor Yu worked hard to govern and did not like silk and bamboo music.

These people were worried that Qi Yun would dislike these things and find it difficult to be an elegant person, so they directly abolished the art officer system, so they wanted to please Qi Yun more than others.

When Qi Yun entered the city last night, the following had originally arranged for these people to perform for Qi Yun on stage, but unexpectedly the banquet was canceled by Qi Yun.

Emperor Yu held a banquet today, and these people asked for a chance to perform no matter what.

After listening to Qi Ruyu's introduction, Qi Yun nodded slightly.

The art officer system has been deeply embedded in Dazhou society and is not easy to ban. Moreover, she does not intend to ban it.

A hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom, which is a good phenomenon.

What's more, because of the art officer system in the Zhou Dynasty, many women became art officers, and women's status was also the highest among the Three Kingdoms.

Zhou people would definitely accept women as officials very quickly.

These art officials were similar to celebrities in the Zhou Dynasty. They had a great influence on the people. The benefits outweighed the disadvantages by calming their hearts.

"In that case, let them perform."

"Yes."

After a while, the sound of guqin came from one side of the hall.

The sound of the piano is slow, indifferent and elegant, which gradually calms people's impetuous hearts.

If you close your eyes and listen, you will feel as if you are in an empty valley, with clear springs gurgling in your ears and birds chirping crisply.

Some of the former ministers of Zhou Dynasty sitting on the seats on the right had their eyes closed, their faces could not help but show intoxication, and their heads began to sway slightly with the music, which made the generals of Dayu opposite look quite speechless. .

Guqin has always had a high level of melodious music, and those who can appreciate it must at least have a certain level of music appreciation.

Naturally, these generals of Dayu could not appreciate them.

At this moment, the sound of the guqin stopped and was suddenly replaced by the distant and melodious sound of the flute. On both sides, women dressed in emerald green dance clothes and exquisite make-up walked side by side, like butterflies wearing flowers, charming and charming. People's eyes light up.

It was as if I had arrived in a southern water town in an instant, with weeping willows and lotus flowers blooming on both sides of the river. The fat carp scattered in the clear stream. The boatman's girl poked her head out of the green cattail leaf fan and smiled sweetly at everyone.

The originally silent hall became bright and lively because of the sound of flutes and these beautiful women.

This time, Dayu's generals could all hear the cheerful and lively meaning, and couldn't help but raise their brows and smile at the corners of their mouths.

Suddenly, the sound of pipa and drums appeared in the music, and the goose-yellow long sleeves in the hands of the dancers were flung to both sides. Their waists were bent deeply, and their bodies were like graceful weeping willows. In the middle, one of them was a flower. The man dressed as a fairy spins and rises.

The man had no makeup on his face, but he was handsome and tall.

The dance clothes on his upper body were close to his body, and some parts were hollow. He used colored pigments to directly draw beautiful lotus patterns on his skin, which highlighted his graceful body lines.

His body is incredibly soft, and he can perform various difficult movements in an endless stream, combining hardness and softness, with a faint and natural charm.

He is like a little white dragon that strayed into the world, intoxicated and playing among the beautiful mountains and rivers.

As soon as this person appeared, he occupied the attention of everyone in the audience. Even Qi Yun, who had always had only a faint appreciation on his face, couldn't help but sit up slightly and began to appreciate his performance seriously.

Seeing Qi Yun's interested expression, Zhang Wensheng hurriedly introduced: "Your Majesty, this is the dancing fairy Lin Xiao, whose name is Jin Ci."

"Yeah." Qi Yun responded lightly.

At this time, the music had gradually come to an end, and Lin Jinci's body in the middle began to spin rapidly and continuously along with the music, his clothes flying in the air, like a fairy flying in the sky, trying to fly away.

This time, it was Dayu's turn to look like bumpkins.

After all, Dayu's artistic background was too low. Except for Qi Yun and Qi Ruyu, everyone else was not from a very high background and had never seen such a wonderful large-scale palace banquet dance.

The beauty of art has no language and does not distinguish between national boundaries. Let alone women, even Lu Bu and other men present were stunned.

Qi Ruyu looked at the handsome man with an expressionless face, and his eyes suddenly flashed.

The spinning dancer stumbled suddenly!

"what!"

Lin Jinci screamed and fell heavily to the ground.

The severe pain from his feet made his mind go blank and he almost fainted.

The immortal fell from the clouds, embarrassed and unbearable.

The surrounding dancers were all frightened, their faces as pale as paper under their makeup, and they all knelt on the ground trembling.

"Presumptuous! Discourteous! Damn it!"

The ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty over there stood up one after another, and Li Zhu said angrily: "I actually presented this flawed dance to His Majesty, which is an insult to the Holy Spirit. Come on! Press these sinners down and beat them to death with sticks!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!" The girls cried in fright, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Slow down." Qi Yun stopped him.

A Zhou official said: "Your Majesty, if there are flaws in the performance of the artist before the emperor, he should be punished according to the law."

Although the artistic officer of Da Zhou has a high status, it is not all smooth sailing.

If a person makes a mistake while performing in public, the penalty will be determined according to the person to whom he performed and the seriousness of the mistake.

It could range from losing one's official position to jail, ruining one's reputation, and never being able to return to his old career, or losing one's life directly.

For an occasion like this, which is the highest level to perform for an emperor, such a major mistake occurred. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, the entire dance team, including the musicians, should be punished.

Just because they dedicated their imperfect art to the emperor.

Zhou people's pursuit of perfection has reached an almost perverted level.

Similarly, because of these cruel laws, countless art officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty lost their lives, but because of this, the Great Zhou Dynasty gave birth to countless talented artists and works of art.

Because these artists really focus on their lives, pursue their dreams, and complete their works.

"According to the law? According to what law? The Zhou law?"

Qi Yun's words immediately raised the eyebrows of these sensitive people.

Qi Yun said coldly: "Do you still want to serve Yu Wen?"

This question was so heartbreaking that all the surrendered ministers in the hall knelt down in fear and trembled.

At this time, Lin Jinci, who was on the ground, finally recovered from the severe pain and struggled to kneel down. The severe pain of broken bones in his ankle almost made him faint again, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.

He gritted his teeth and forced himself to confess, "The crime of Jin Ci deserves death. I am willing to commit suicide to apologize. I only hope that Your Majesty will be merciful and pardon these musicians and dancers."
