Zhuo Qihua

Concubine Xi said at this time: "By the way, I know that you are not in good health. Your Majesty loves you, and the Queen Mother also loves you. You still have to show your face on today's big day of worshiping the ancestors. Your Highness and Second Highness are just young and childish." Son, I will follow His Majesty all day today."

The Empress Dowager frowned inwardly, Zhuo Ji said obediently: "The imperial concubine taught me that." Then there was no more.

Jia Guixie said: "Queen Mother, the weather is so good today, why don't we play some games to make it more fun?"

Jia Guixie naturally turned away from targeting Zhuo Ji, the queen mother smiled and nodded and said, "Very good. Then tell me what kind of games you can make?"

Jiagui Xie was about to speak when Concubine Wen took the first step: "Queen Mother, why don't you write a poem? Today is the Double Ninth Festival, so let's use the Double Ninth Festival as the theme? How do you like it?"

There was nothing wrong with Concubine Wen's proposal, and the Empress Dowager couldn't refute it, so she said, "Well, let's write poetry. Since you suggested it, you should come first."

Concubine Wen got up and saluted, sat down and pondered for a while, and said, "The yellow chrysanthemums reflect the morning light, and the dogwoods hold the patriarchal affection. The wa Nu looks down on the heaven and the earth, and the brilliance comes to illuminate Kyushu."

"Okay!" Concubine Xiao was the first to speak out, praising, "As expected of Sister Concubine Wen, this poem not only mentions the Double Ninth Festival, but also points to His Majesty's meaning of climbing the mountain today to worship heaven and protect our country's prosperity. Sister Wen Concubine's poem ,well done!"

The queen mother also nodded with satisfaction: "Concubine Wen's talent is indeed impressive, this poem is well done."

"Thank you Queen Mother for your compliment." Concubine Wen thanked her, and gave Zhuo Ji a special look.Zhuo Ji drank tea with downcast eyes, pretending not to see the provocation in Concubine Wen's eyes.

Dejue said: "Concubine Wen won the first place, so I will serve you next." When he said this, Dejuan was looking at Jiaguixie.Jia Guixie smiled at him.There is often contention between the servants of the harem and concubines, and everyone is no stranger to it.Concubine Wen is a concubine, and Concubine De is a concubine, and the two have equal status.You Dezhen also made sense to Concubine Wen.If Jiagui Xie is the second, it would be a downfall.

Dezhen also thought for a while, and then he uttered a poem: "When the sun and the moon are together, when you are young and strong for ten years, the chrysanthemum wine falls on the land, and ninety-nine will return to one."

"Good!" Jia Guixie praised greatly, "Your Majesty has been on the throne for ten years, we old people can follow His Majesty around, see His Majesty become a Mingjun in a prosperous age, and meet our ancestors in the future, we can also boast about it."

The Empress Dowager smiled a lot: "Okay, okay, Deju's poem is very well done."

Dezhen got up and saluted to thank Zan, Concubine Wen's face was a bit unattractive.Concubine Xiao said: "Then the next one will be my concubine."

Jia Guixie and Xi Guifei are the bosses of their respective camps, so naturally they won't show up too early.Concubine Xiao made a seven-character quatrain, which also used Chongyang to praise His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts.The seven-character quatrains were somewhat difficult, and Concubine Xiao's poem immediately overwhelmed Concubine Wen and Dezhen when it came out.Concubine Xiao is on the concubine's side again, and Mrs. Jiagui's complexion is not very good-looking.

Ming Xun is relatively low-key in the palace, but on this occasion, if he remains low-key, he will be ridiculed.He smiled reservedly, and said: "Concubine Xiao's seven-character quatrains are very wonderful, so the waiter should also come with a seven-character quatrain." poem.Not only praised His Majesty's achievements, but also expressed the deep love between His Majesty and the Queen Mother through the meaning of Chongyang.The Empress Dowager said four good things in a row, and even gave Mingyu a glass of chrysanthemum wine. Mrs. Jiagui smiled subtly, while Concubine Xi smiled coldly.

In the case of witchcraft, the only four left are the concubine and concubine of the harem.According to the status, it was the turn of the concubine and the aunt.These seven-character quatrains came out, and the people behind were in trouble.None of the concubines and aunts showed their heads, and one of them bit his lip and walked out.Seeing him, Jia Guixie's eyes flashed a dark light, and Zhuo Ji, who was watching the play, raised his eyebrows.

"Empress Dowager, noble concubine, noble concubine, ladies and gentlemen, my servants are bold enough to show off. The humble servants have ordinary literary talents, let alone seven-character quatrains. The humble servants compiled the poems just made by the concubine and the empress into Play the song. If the Empress Dowager doesn’t blame me, I will play it for the Empress Dowager, your concubine, your concubine, and all your concubines and empresses.”

The queen mother said lightly: "In such a short period of time, you actually composed a song? The old man might as well listen to it."

Jia Guixie also said indifferently: "Then you can play it and listen to it."

Yan Xuan kowtowed excitedly to thank Min Le.When Min Le came, he was holding the piano case, and the eunuch brought the piano case and put down the rattan mat.Yan Xuan sat down on the rattan cushion and put his hands on the piano.

The melodious guqin sounded, and Zhuo Ji covered his mouth with one hand and held back a yawn.He did it secretly, but he did not hide it from the eyes of the Queen Mother, nor did he hide it from the eyes of the few people who had been paying attention to him.I have to say that Yan Xuan is indeed talented.He played the piano and sang at the same time, and he really put together the four poems, which didn't sound out of harmony.It's just that during the process of playing, Zhuo Ji couldn't help but secretly yawned several times.

After Yanxuan finished playing the song, Concubine Wen said, "It sounds good, it's really good. I didn't expect there to be such an elegant person in the palace who is good at piano and singing."

Concubine Xiao also echoed: "It's really good to hear, I want to listen to it again."

Concubine Xi looked at Zhuo Ji: "Shun, you and Yan Xuan were drafted into the palace in the same year, right?"

When Concubine Xi asked, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly changed, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face disappeared, and Yan Xuan stood up nervously.Jia Guixie and Dezhen frowned slightly.Zhuo Ji nodded without hesitation, and said: "Yes. Shishen and Yan Yaren entered the palace in the same year. When Shishen was in the West Third Courtyard, he knew that Yan Yaren was outstanding at piano, but he didn't know that Yan Yaren was also so good at making music. Queen Mother, should you also enjoy a glass of chrysanthemum wine?"

The Empress Dowager smiled: "It's time to reward. Yan Xuan's song is well composed, enjoy a glass of chrysanthemum wine."

The eunuch brought a glass of wine and walked up to Yan Xuan. Yan Xuan saluted and thanked him, and took the chrysanthemum wine.He had a smile on his face, but his heart was full of resentment.This glass of wine was rewarded by the Empress Dowager, but it was Zhuo Ji's reward for him!This is more embarrassing than Zhuo Ji slapping him directly to retaliate.Yanxuan drank wine in public, and was about to leave with his zither in his arms before his expression fell, and one of them stopped him.

"Yanya people wait a moment."

Yan Xuan looked over.Zhuo Ji stood up and bowed to the Queen Mother, saying: "Queen Mother, it's okay for Shishen to write an article with the theme of 'Chongyang'. If you want to compose a poem, Shishen really can't do it. People from Yanya compose music to help the fun. How about you, Queen Mother?" Let the waiter sing a song to add to the fun."

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "You can sing, but this song must have the meaning of Double Ninth Festival."

Zhuo Ji said: "Empress Dowager, the Chongyang Festival worships the ancestors, and it is the ancestors' heroic spirits who pay homage to them. What they are grateful for is the ancestors' contribution to the peace and prosperity of the country. There is no Double Ninth Festival in the song of Shishen. Shishen only wants to be in today's During the days, I express my admiration to the emperors of the Mata country, thank the ancestors of the Mata country for creating the country, and thank Your Majesty for his hard work, so that we can sit here today and enjoy the chrysanthemums and write poems in peace."

The empress dowager was very moved by Zhuo Ji's words, some of the others were surprised, some were jealous, and some were disdainful, thinking that Zhuo Ji was flattering all the time.

The Empress Dowager said: "You can sing. If you sing well, you will be rewarded in old age. If you sing badly, you will be punished."

"it is good!"

Zhuo Ji walked out of the gazebo, and said to Yan Xuan who was still standing there: "Men Yan Ya, can I borrow your qin?"

Yan Xuan regained his senses in a panic: "Of course, please." He stepped aside.

Zhuo Ji sat down gracefully, nodded to the queen mother and everyone, and put his hands on the piano in a dignified manner.Jia Guixie was surprised, didn't His Majesty say that Zhuo Ji's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are only good at painting?Could it be that Zhuo Ji can play the piano?

Can Zhuo Ji play the guqin?Of course he will.Emperor Yong'an thought that he could only play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Zhuo Ji hadn't shown it to him.As a seventh-level brain power user with a brain comparable to a supercomputer, although Zhuo Ji's brain has degraded a lot in this life, it is still above the level of a genius.His brain area has degenerated, but the things he once remembered have not disappeared with the degeneration.His learning ability is still strong compared to people in this world.You know, he has been hanging out in theaters and restaurants since he was a child!

I tested the timbre on the guqin with both hands, played a few more times to recall the feel, and then raised my head: "Queen Mother, the song I want to sing is called 'Borrowing from the Heaven for Another 500 Years'."

"It's only been borrowed for 500 years, can you borrow it for a thousand years?" Concubine Wen said sarcastically, Zhuo Ji ignored her, and moved his finger.The tune played sounded very strange, but before everyone could figure out what kind of tune it was, Zhuo Ji spoke.

"Along the ups and downs and gentle curves of the mountains and rivers, let the horses love the Central Plains and love the North and the South of the Yangtze River.

In the face of the passionate companionship of ice, snow and sword, I cherish the golden years given to me by heaven.

Be brave and courageous, be a person without fear of hardships and dangers, and your pride will not change year after year.

There are bitterness and sweetness in being a human being, good and evil are separated from each other, and it is all for the dream of tomorrow—"

The queen mother was stunned, everyone was stunned, even Concubine Wen who satirized Zhuo Ji was a little dumbfounded.The sound of the piano suddenly rose here, and Zhuo Ji's tone also rose accordingly.His voice was not rough, but the scalps of those who listened were numb and their hearts trembled.

"Looking at the clattering of iron hooves, walking all over thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, I stand on the cusp of the storm and hold the sun and the moon tightly.

May the world of fireworks be peaceful and happy, I really want to live another 500 years—"

The Queen Mother stood up, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.Everyone else stared blankly at Zhuo Ji who was playing and singing, even the palace people of Xiangfu Palace who followed Zhuo Ji were all dumbfounded, this song!After a transitional song, Zhuo Ji raised his eyes, kept his hands on his hands, and looked straight at the tearful Queen Mother.

"Being a man is courageous, and being a man is not afraid of hardships and dangers... I stand on the cusp of the storm and hold the sun and the moon to rotate. May the world of fireworks be peaceful and happy. I really want to live another 500 years. I really want to live again. 500 years..."

The sitting people stood up one by one, whether spontaneously or following.Jiaguixie, Dexie, Mingxie... Even Concubine Xigui couldn't help but shed tears.They seem to have seen how the emperors of the Mata country have pointed their swords at the country, how they have devoted themselves to the country's country, and how broad-minded and heroic they have.The most direct one is His Majesty the Emperor.They seem to be able to see that at this very moment, His Majesty ascended Wa Nu Mountain, and prayed to God as an emperor to bless the prosperity of the country, the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people, and the prosperity of the country's country and society for thousands of years!

At the end of the song, Zhuo Ji stood up.The queen mother choked up: "Okay, okay, okay, you are worthy of being Zhuo Ji, you are worthy of being Zhuo Ji. If you don't sing it, you will be amazed! This song is great, great! By the way, what reward do you want?"

Zhuo Ji got up and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, you can give me a jar of wine. The wine in the Palace has been confiscated by Your Majesty, and now I feel hungry when I see the wine."

The queen mother laughed, pointed to Zhuo Ji, sat back and said, "This old man can't agree to you. The emperor said that you like to talk nonsense when you drink. You can choose something other than wine."

Zhuo Ji was very wronged: "The waiter drank too much that day, and I still won't get drunk after a glass of wine."

"No." The Queen Mother insisted.

Zhuo Ji had no choice but to say: "Then Queen Mother, you can watch and reward, she likes everything."

The queen mother laughed again, and then, in full view of everyone, she took off the beeswax [-]-zi bracelet on her left wrist.This move by the queen mother changed the faces of many people present, especially Concubine Xi.Seeing this, Zhuo Ji couldn't help guessing that the meaning of this string of bracelets should be extraordinary.

Sure enough, he heard the Empress Dowager say with nostalgia: "After I gave birth to the emperor, Emperor Shenzong bestowed on Laoshen. Emperor Shenzong gave Laoshen fifteen bracelets of various colors in his life, and this one was worn the longest. Today , I will reward you with it."

"Queen Mother, this reward is too expensive to be accepted." Zhuo Ji knelt down.

The queen mother smiled lightly and said: "Shun, I gave it to you. You should understand the high hopes I have for you. Take it. The emperor gave you the jade that Emperor Mingzong bestowed on him. I will take this ten The eight sons are for you, don't let the emperor and the old man down."

As soon as the queen mother's words came out, even Jiagui Xie, who had always been calm, couldn't keep calm.His Majesty actually gave Zhuo Ji the jade 韘 personally bestowed by Emperor Mingzong?When did that happen!

The queen mother didn't mean to explain, and no one dared to ask aloud.Zhuo Ji stood up, walked up to the Empress Dowager, took the eighteen wax beeswax with both hands respectfully, then knelt down to thank her again.The Empress Dowager bent down and helped Zhuo Ji up personally, causing another shock in the audience.When Zhuo Ji stood up, the Empress Dowager said in front of him in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Zhuo Ji, for Your Majesty, guard these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."

Zhuo Ji put on the bracelet, bowed deeply to the queen mother, and agreed to the queen mother's request.The queen mother happily pulled Zhuo Ji back to sit next to her, and said: "Shunyou also helped, who should do it next?"

Concubine Xi: "Queen Mother, let me do the rest."

Concubine Xi Gui wrote a poem, and the Empress Dowager applauded again and again, giving her a glass of chrysanthemum wine and a piece of chrysanthemum cake.Jia Guixie wrote a poem immediately afterward, and the queen mother also enjoyed chrysanthemum wine and chrysanthemum cake.Both of them have their own strengths in literary talent, and Jiaguixie's lyrics are slightly better, but with Zhuo Ji's stunning song, their lyrics are less flavorful.However, the Queen Mother is in a good mood, and those who can compose poems and lyrics have shown it, and those who are not good at writing can also sing songs, play the piano and so on.When the chrysanthemum wine was almost drunk and everyone finished adding to the fun, the queen mother said that she was tired and wanted to go back to rest, and there would be a palace banquet in the evening.Everyone sent the queen mother away together, and left the imperial garden. After the queen mother got on the chariot, the others dispersed.
