Chapter 158: Breaking Feet

However, Shen Lanying's face changed suddenly, and she subconsciously spit out three words softly: "Ding folds his feet!"

Her voice was very small, and only Xuan Ling could be heard, but Xuan Ling didn't know the score and didn't know the meaning of the song "Ding Fold Foot". Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info can't understand the horror in Shen Lanying's heart at this moment.

This piece is decades earlier than the history of the Yong Dynasty.

The previous dynasty of the Yong Dynasty was called the Xia Dynasty. This piece tells the story of the last years of the Xia Dynasty.

Xia's penultimate emperor had a cowardly personality and did not dare to fight with other countries, and once there was friction on the border, he always chose to cede land and pay reparations in exchange for temporary comfort. So the Southern Barbarians, the Northern Yi, the Xirong and the Dongdi did not take the Xia Dynasty seriously, bullied and oppressed, and put forward all kinds of rude terms.

But although the emperor of the Xia Dynasty did not have the courage to go to war, he was not corrupt, and the situation in the country was quite stable.

It is said that the Xia Dynasty would not have died so quickly, but at that time, there was a traitor who leaned towards the government and the opposition. The traitorous ministers had a bad relationship with the eldest prince, and it was expected that after the eldest prince ascended the throne, he would definitely reform the old and clean up the old ministers in the court. The traitorous ministers were afraid that their official duties would not last long, so they joined hands with the little prince to spread rumors everywhere, saying that the eldest prince was addicted to wine, unlearned, and incompetent.

When the emperor was seriously ill, the traitor found an opportunity to attack the eldest prince, and after the successful assassination, he took the seal of the eldest prince and wrote an edict to seal himself, saying that he was not capable of inheriting the throne of the monarch, and voluntarily gave up his position to the little prince.

The traitor stole the jade seal of the country, and falsely passed the holy decree that the emperor was seriously ill, and the little prince had both ability and political integrity, and the emperor voluntarily abdicated to make way for the virtuous, and after the holy decree came out, he launched a palace change at night, put the emperor under house arrest, and helped the little prince to ascend the throne.

And the little prince was only sixteen years old at the time, and he didn't know how to govern the country, so he only blindly reused the traitor who gave him the throne at the beginning, and when he got older, he realized that the country had already appeared The phenomenon of "hundreds of officials do things, report to the prime minister first", and at that time, the situation of the country was already beyond his control.

In the food of the new emperor, he was mixed with poison by the prime minister all the year round, and the new emperor's health deteriorated until he couldn't afford to get sick every day. When the prime minister suddenly informed the ministers that he wanted to help the new emperor's concubine ascend the throne, there was finally opposition in the court.

The courtiers were against the abolition of the concubine, but for the prime minister, the concubine was a little older, and the mother concubine came from a big family, which was difficult to control. The status of the biological mother of the concubine is not high, and she is young, so it is naturally easy to control.

So the new emperor's concubine died violently inexplicably.

On the day the news came out, many courtiers could guess the truth, but they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Only one old minister took possession, and angrily scolded the prime minister who was wielding power in the court, exposing his crimes of interfering in court politics and interfering in the succession to the throne for decades, and another sentence broke his mind of usurping the throne.

The old minister is a literary scholar, has the ability to export chapters, his long remarks used a metaphor, the power of the royal family is the tripod, if the power falls, it is like the tripod folded a foot, the things in the tripod are poured, corresponding to the country, is a subversive disaster.

As soon as the remarks came out, he was immediately killed by the prime minister and made an example, and his death was extremely miserable. But his deathbed words were transcribed.

More than ten years later, the Xia Dynasty was replaced by the Yong Dynasty, and this statement was widely circulated.

The founding emperor of the Yong Dynasty in order to warn future generations of courtiers not to move their minds, but also specially praised this article, so this article spread faster, and was later adapted into a song, named "Ding Zhizu".

In order to pretend to be Princess Zhaoying, Shen Lanying has carefully studied most of the music scores that have been handed down, and naturally she has heard of this ancient song for a long time. Relying on his sensitivity to music, after only listening to half of the prelude, he heard that this piece was "full of folds".

There was only one thought in her head: which one didn't have an eye for choosing this song?

For ordinary people, this kind of song is not popular enough, they prefer lovesickness, resentment, chanting and other themes, so they don't immediately hear what the track is.

But this does not affect the guests' understanding of this work, this song is played and sung at the same time, and the content of the lyrics is the original text of the "Ding Fold Foot" back then.

The lyrics are similar to the style of the Book of Songs, they are all four-word works, which are catchy to read, and the content tells the story of the traitor and the little prince who met each other, to the little prince who ascended the throne, and finally lost the country. The lyrics at the end of the song warn future monarchs to stay away from traitorous courtiers and beware of ambitious courtiers.

To ordinary people, this song sounds nothing more than a long history, the selection of materials is unique, and there is nothing special.

But for some, it's a different story entirely.

If the girl who played the piano didn't know that Shen Lanying was Princess Zhaoying, then in her cognition, the biggest boss present was Zhou Zai of Longzhou. If she wants to show herself in front of many Longzhou officials, she can choose difficult repertoire or songs that praise the scenery of Longzhou. Instead of this song satirizing the collusion of courtiers and friends to interfere in imperial power.

To be reasonable, the Yong Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Hui was in its heyday, and no one in their right mind would choose this kind of undesirable subject.

So everything is very obvious, the reason why she chose this song is because she knows very well that Shen Lanying sitting on the island in the middle of the lake is Princess Zhaoying.

This is an obvious insinuation.

The virtuous prince of the Xia Dynasty in "Ding Fold Foot" alludes to the virtuous former prince of the Yong Dynasty. The meaning of the girl playing the piano is very clear, the former prince is innocent, and there is a villain who frames him.

However, in the eyes of the people, the eldest prince Jiang Yuhan is a virtuous person, and there are not a few people who guess that he has been wronged, so if this girl simply wants to express her sympathy and grief for the eldest prince's suffering, it is okay.

But there is another key character in the story of "Ding Fold Foot", and that is the little prince.

Jiang Yuhan has a large number of younger brothers and sisters, and there are not one or two who have the ability to inherit the throne, and who the little prince refers to, those who know the situation have long known it.

If you want to know who the little prince refers to, the key is to see who the traitor refers to.

The second, third, fourth, and sixth princes each have their own power, but they have not gotten the kind of strong man who "gets it and wins the world". The only heirs who have been supported by the strong are the five princes and Princess Zhaoying. And that's not an ordinary powerhouse, it's the second-ranked talent in the list of talents. Legend has it that there must be great deeds. So the meaning of the player couldn't be clearer.

The little prince refers to Princess Zhaoying and the five princes, and the traitor refers to Sikong Yan.

In fact, when she first saw the article "Ding Fold Foot", what Shen Lanying thought of was also what the team did to win the heirs.

Therefore, after hearing this song, Shen Lanying's heart chuckled.
