Chapter 141: The Contest by Order
When the apprentices who participated in the big exam heard this, they couldn't care about staying quiet any longer, and they talked about it one after another.
What's going on? The difference between excellent and poor is too big, how can this Gu Wensheng be both?
If she gets another excellent grade, it will be an excellent grade for three days in a row, if she only gets a bad grade, her results will plummet, which means that she has withdrawn from the top ten competition.
Old Master Tan smiled: "I don't think they understand what you mean, you can tell me in detail." ”
Tan Ruibo answered "yes", and then explained: "Because of the inconvenience of her left hand, she played a loose sound." The big exam of the Silk Tong Palace, by the saint himself, this is the biggest event at the moment, since you are interested in becoming a musician, no matter what accident you encounter, you should not hurt your hand. If it were me, even if I disfigured my face and was blind, I wouldn't dare to hurt myself. This is one of them, and secondly, this paragraph of prose does not match the gist of the eight methods of wonderful sounds, and even has the meaning of going in the opposite direction. So I'd love to give her a bad sentence as a punishment. ”
Old Master Tan let out an "um".
Seeing Wen Sheng standing up, holding the qin with a respectful demeanor, everyone had no intention of refuting Tan Ruibo's words, and they all secretly thought: "This girl is really calm." ”
Wen Sheng knew that Tan Ruibo, as one of the chief examiners, must have something to say when he said this.
Sure enough, Tan Ruibo paused and said, "But I feel that this piece of music is unusual." There seems to be some subtle music in it, which looms in the music and is difficult to touch, and I want to listen to it more closely. ”
Tan Ruibo's words made the group of apprentices who participated in the big exam even more commotion.
Old Master Tan nodded slightly, he saw that his second son Tan Ruide had nothing to add. Fang Dao: "If Xiao Wu was here, he wouldn't have such hesitation." ”
After saying this, he kindly motioned to Wen Sheng to be listed: "Recorded as excellent." ”
Mr. Tan personally spoke, and Wen Sheng's excellent rank was a certainty, and he deserved his name.
And it seems that his father and son all have a high evaluation of the piano music played by Wen Sheng's hand, and there are three excellent grades in a row, which makes many people who participate in the big competition together envious and jealous.
Wen Sheng saluted and returned to the line. The exam continues.
Wen Sheng was secretly rejoicing. Today's big game can be done without the left hand. That's great.
Soon after, it was Zhong Tianzheng's turn to play.
This time, he sat down in a proper manner and played a flute in front of Old Master Tan.
When he finished blowing, the huge silk hall was silent for a while.
Zhong Tianzheng's flute sound has changed a lot compared with the previous days. The melody is more tactful and varied, and there seems to be an unusual charm in it, which makes it difficult to extricate oneself.
The two brothers of the Tan family looked surprised. Even Old Master Tan was a little surprised when he looked at it.
After a while, Tan Ruibo asked, "Have you ever learned the Eight Methods of Miaoyin before?" ”
"Back to Mr. Tan Da. The student did not learn. ”
"I think so. Terrible understanding. Tan Ruibo sighed and directly gave Zhong Tianzheng a priority.
The Eight Methods of Miao Yin are currently the most profound methods mastered by musicians, and there are many musicians in the Xuanyin Pavilion who have been studying for many years, but they are still trapped in the first three. They also had the chance to hear Old Master Tan playing the piano, but no one had ever been like Zhong Tianzheng, who didn't even know the trick of the method. I vaguely glimpsed the doorway.
Listening to Zhong Tianzheng's flute sound, it is not much different from a real musician.
The exam went on very quickly though. It took more than two hours for all the 120 first-class apprentices to complete the exam.
It will be noon, and the will of Emperor Jianzhao will come out from the Sitong Palace, and the exam will be suspended for an hour, so that everyone can rest and eat.
The father and son of Emperor Jianzhao and the accompanying civil and military ministers stayed in the main hall to eat, and the imperial dining room and Xuanyin Pavilion in the palace today have already been prepared, and the wine and food are sent like water.
Emperor Jianzhao was accompanied by his two sons, and specially called Tan Lao Guoshi and Li Chengyun to his table, and said: "The imperial doctor doesn't let me drink, and it's the same with the national teacher, you three brothers drink two more glasses." ”
Li Chengyun said in a deep voice: "Yes." "I sat down and didn't eat something first, but picked up the glass in front of me, drank it on my back, and then filled the empty glass myself.
Seeing this, Emperor Jianzhao glanced at his two sons.
The second prince, Yang Hao, smiled frugally: "My cousin is really a good drinker. Come, big brother, let's dry this glass of wine too. ”
Yang Hao responded, and the two brothers drank the wine.
Li Chengyun didn't react, he ate two mouthfuls of food with an expressionless face, picked up the cup again, this time he raised his glass to the two princes, drank all the wine in the cup, rushed out with his wrist, and flashed the bottom of the cup to the two people.
The two princes had no choice but to drink another full glass.
Li Chengyun put the empty cup on the table and beckoned to the waiter on the side: "Change the big cup for me and the two highnesses." ”
Yang Haoyu drank lightly, and his face turned pale with fright when he heard the words: "Cousin, don't you want it, in front of so many people, it's not good to be drunk and lose your manners, and besides, your father and emperor will be handpicked by the top ten for a while, don't you want to see the excitement?" ”
Emperor Jianzhao looked at the three of them, as if he hadn't noticed the turmoil between the three of them, and said to Old Master Tan with a smile: "The carrier is straightforward and has a large amount of wine, which is like when I was young." ”
Old Master Tan echoed with a smile: "Long live what you said is true. As the old saying goes, 'nephews are like uncles', and there are a number of them. ”
After a meal, Li Chengyun was slightly drunk, Yang Haojian's face was flushed, Yang Haoyu was the most poor, and his eyes were straight by Li Chengyun and his younger brother.
Emperor Jianzhao saw that his eldest son was staggering, and his words were almost unclear, so he scolded with a smile and ordered someone to send him to rest.
Li Chengyun was drunk for a minute or two, his face was not as tense as before, and he and Yang Haojian were around Emperor Jianzhao, and occasionally they could tell a few jokes.
Emperor Jianzhao finished his lunch, rested for a while, and asked Old Master Tan to arrange the next big competition, and he stood up.
Li Chengyun and Yang Haojian came to help together, and Emperor Jianzhao stood firmly on Li Chengyun's hand, walked to the seat in the middle of the hall, and slapped him twice on the arm when he sat down.
At this scene, Feng Songchuan, who was sitting with Yan Guogong and others, changed his face slightly.
For three days in a row, there were only six apprentices with excellent results.
It is said that these six people should be named as the top ten, but since it is hand-picked by Emperor Jianzhao, he must always be given room to make decisions.
The next competition will be held in front of the emperor in the Silky Tong Hall.
The topic of the competition was set by Emperor Jianzhao.
He ordered the six people to be the best, and if the others wanted to compete for the first place, they could choose one of the six to challenge.
Emperor Jianzhao also studied the piano, although he did not become a musician in the end, he understood the way of the musician very well in his heart, and the topic was also his hollow thought in the past few days, and he felt that it was very appropriate.
Among the seven feelings, the easiest to express with music is sadness and joy, his topic is called the competition of two people to toss copper coins to decide which side is sad, which side is happy, the two play together, influence each other, to see which side has the upper hand in the end.
Wen Sheng originally thought that he had injured his hand, and he was a woman, so there must be people who were not convinced, and he was afraid that there would be many people who came to challenge him, but the result was otherwise.
Most of the other dozen or so people bypassed Zhong Tianzheng and her, and there were even many people who challenged Xiang Jiarong, and in the end, only Yang Lanyi chose Zhong Tianzheng without fear of death, and none of them chose her.
In fact, this is very understandable, among the 120 people selected for the first class, there is only one woman, Wen Sheng, who is rumored to have a deep background and has received the full support of Cheng Guogong and Tan Wugongzi.
Even without these messy rumors, Wen Sheng's piano sound seems unfathomable, she has even eliminated serious musicians, and everyone is really not sure about defeating her.
Moreover, in the pre-imperial competition, every move will fall into the eyes of Emperor Jianzhao and Tan Laoguoshi, challenging a woman is already a victory, but she is still injured, losing is embarrassing, and winning will inevitably give the big man the impression of picking up soft persimmons while others are in danger.
So to sum up a few points, the fool chose Wen Sheng to challenge.
Wen Sheng stood aside, watching others fight in pairs, and they were very happy.
That Yang Lanyi was almost powerless against Zhong Tianzheng, and was quickly defeated.
Xiang Jiarong also won a few games in a row.
Later, after the competition was completed, Emperor Jianzhao tilted his body, discussed a few sentences with Tan Lao Guoshi on the side, and suddenly ordered Xiang Jiarong and Zhong Tianzheng: "You two come to play." ”
Everyone was awe-struck when they saw this, and the two champions were in a contest, which seemed like Emperor Jianzhao wanted to determine the candidate for the top spot based on this.
Zhong Tianzheng and Xiang Jiarong stepped forward as ordered.
Emperor Jianzhao had already discovered that the musical instruments of the two of them were cave flutes, and he couldn't help but smile at the old national teacher Tan: "National teacher, guess which of the two of them will win?" ”
Old Master Tan cared about Zhong Tianzheng in his heart, but he didn't say anything on his face, and said: "Both of them are good seedlings, let's see who plays well." ”
Emperor Jianzhao nodded, motioned to the inner servant to throw the copper coin, and said: "They are competing with the two Dong Xiao, I think that the side that chooses the 'sad' will take a big advantage, it is better to do this, if it can't hold each other, then the 'sad' side loses." ”
Old Master Tan was a little unimpressed by Emperor Jianzhao's statement, but he didn't refute it, he only bowed slightly to the upper seat, and said, "Your Majesty." ”
At this time, the results came out, Xiang Jiarong took "sadness", and Zhong Tianzheng got "joy".
Against Xiang Jiarong, Zhong Tianzheng's demeanor was quite calm, Wen Sheng was watching from the sidelines, and even had a feeling that he had never taken this opponent to heart at all.
The two separated His Highness and blew the hole flute together.
Xiang Jiarong's flute sound came out first, like a drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, bright and elegant, tactful and sad. (To be continued)
