When he heard that Tao Qiu was going to present the dance of the mulberry forest, even if there were four kings present and the prime minister of a great country, he was still very excited. Because this is the joy of the Son of Heaven that has been inherited for a long time, not everyone is qualified to appreciate it!

The famous overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Mourning Gong, because he helped the Song State resist the attack of the Chu State, the then monarch Song Pinggong entertained the Jin Mourning Duke with the dance of the mulberry forest, and as a result, the Jin Mourning Duke saw the banner of Jingxia that the Son of Heaven could have, and was directly frightened to quit. The Song people had to remove the flag before they could complete the performance. As a result, after this incident, Jin Mourning Gong suffered a serious illness on the way back to China, saying that it was possessed by the god of mulberry forest, which frightened Jin Qing Xun Yan and Shi Kuo to continue to return to Song with Mourning Gong and pray, but only under Xun Gang's persuasion, they did it. Even so, in order to make Jin Hou feel at ease, the Jin State had to destroy a small country on the way back to China, and sacrifice its monarch as a prisoner for sacrifice, in order to comfort the heart of the public, before doing it.

If the monarchs present now were to be rebellious except for Zhao according to Zhou Li, they would naturally not avoid the banner of Jingxia. On the contrary, they felt that Tao Qiujun really respected them by putting out the high-level music and dance that only this day could be qualified to enjoy!

Under the guidance of the Summer Banner, musicians and dancers appeared separately. If it were the original mulberry forest, there would be hundreds of musicians, and thousands of dancers! Today, even in the miniature version of Mulberry Forest, the number of musicians has shrunk tenfold, but the number of dancers is still in the hundreds!

To the music played by the musicians, the dancers begin the dance. Under the command of wild music, hundreds of dancers dressed in the costumes of Xuanniao began to wave the flags in their hands, twisting their bodies and starting the performance.

As a traverser, Dai Yan has also seen a lot of dances in later generations, some graceful and elegant, some sexy and hot, and Sang Lin has nothing to do with either. However, every time I watch it, I can still give Dai Yan a strong shock!

In Dai Yan's view, such a dance should be classified as a religious dance. In this kind of dance, there is a power that directly touches the heart, which can make people feel a sense of infinite worship, which is heart-pounding!

There is such a thing as religion, even Dai Yan is incomprehensible as a modern person. Some people say it's superstition, some think it's philosophy, and some think there's a certain scientific truth in it. Either way, it's a useful thing. And the mulberry forest is to make use of the useful things in the religion of the Song Kingdom: such a power that touches the heart, giving the viewer a shock and a feeling of beauty!

The reason why Dai Yan was able to design such a revolutionary product was because he had been cultivating in India and gained inspiration from Indian religion, so that when he saw a crazy person, he couldn't put it down, giving people a feeling of heartbeat!

Then there are more than N kidney mutters in the world.

In Dai Yan's opinion, this mulberry dance, whether it is movement or music, is put together alone, he will not feel anything. However, when combined, it can make people feel beautiful and feel the soul shocked, and this is definitely what religion can do.

Even a modern person like Dai Yan, who has admired it many times, will feel the beauty and feel the shock, not to mention the remaining kings of the Four Kingdoms and Zhao Xiang. After reading it, everyone feels that this kind of music and dance is really worthy of the quintessence of the Song Kingdom, the joy of Yin Tianzi!

Among them, King Zhongshan, as a monarch with talents, is very good at music. He saw the piano and asked Dai Yan directly: "Cao Gong, what is such a percussion instrument?" Why haven't I seen it before? ”

Dai Yan replied directly: "This is my new musical instrument that is a specialty of Taoqiu: the piano." Although it seems to be percussion, it is actually plucked with the steel strings inside, so I call it a piano by the Taochu musicians. ”

King Zhongshan's attainments in musical instruments are indeed very deep. He himself knows how to drummer, and he is very accomplished. As soon as he heard that such a big guy was also a plucked string instrument like the piano, he immediately came down to watch it himself. And when he mastered the rules of piano playing and the sounds he produced, with a little training, he was able to play a piece of music through this primitive piano!

Such a high level of music not only surprised Dai Yan, but even the monarchs of other countries were stunned!

Obviously, the king of Zhongshan was stunned and proud of the kings of all countries! Subsequently, he personally explained to the monarchs of various countries that he would personally use this piano to perform a song of Zhongshan Kingdom to perform for the monarchs of various countries!

When the kings saw this, they naturally agreed with it very much. Everyone has fun to enjoy, so why not? For Zhongshan Kingdom, this matter is even more important to them, because the King of Zhongshan has such a high attainment in etiquette and music, and has clearly made a declaration to the people of the world: Our Zhongshan Kingdom is not a barbarian.

Dai Yan was a little unhappy that Zhongshan Kingdom would seize the dominance of culture at the meeting of the Prime Minister. Originally, everyone would pay so much attention to the dance of the mulberry forest, and they had a deep affection, and the focus of Zhongshan's performance was all focused on Zhongshan Kingdom, and there was nothing to do with Taoqiu!

Soon, however, Dai Yan's dissatisfaction vanished. Because King Zhongshan bluntly said that he was very fond of things like pianos and wanted to buy them. When Dai Yan heard that business came to his door and knew that there was money to be made, that dissatisfaction immediately disappeared. Instead, there is a sincerity that treats customers like God!

Dai Yan and Zhongshan Wang pulled a lot of old pine wood, steel wires that can only be had after a hundred exercises, and some special high-tech in machinery, anyway, how to promote high value for the piano, and finally Dai Yan pretended to be generous, and at an extremely "cheap" price - 50,000 gold, to help Zhongshan Guo make another piano!

And for such a piano, the total material and labor cost will definitely not exceed 500 gold!

made such a profit, which made Dai Yan feel a little more comfortable. However, not long after, Zhao Cheng's words touched Dai Yan greatly: "Gong Cao, what you are doing now is a little too high-profile. Taoqiu is already so rich, but you don't know how to converge, and you have cultivated a music and dance team that Song Jun can only be qualified to enjoy, and your actions will make Suiyang feel worried! ”

When Dai Yan heard it, he really understood Zhao Cheng's words.

In the history of China, since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty and the creation of the ritual music civilization, music has never existed alone, but has always had a profound impact on politics.

Ji's eight dances in the court, and Confucius's directly angry beard exploded: "It's bearable, it's unbearable!" "Although in today's era, in the context of the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms, it has been completely ruined, but some consciousness in people's hearts has not been eliminated!

The Dance of the Mulberry Forest, a band directly under the monarch of the Song Kingdom, is not an ordinary music and dance, but also undertakes the most important sacrifice in the entire Song Kingdom. In the context of the still flourishing religion of the Song Kingdom, such a music and dance team is actually not only a band, it is the right to speak, and it symbolizes a certain orthodoxy of the Song Kingdom!

And Dai Yan's unscrupulous "cottage" is a band that can perform mulberry forest, what does this want to do?

Dai Yan, who came from later generations, was aware of this matter in hindsight. And the entire Taoqiu may also have people who understand, but because there is no Confucianism at the core decision-making level, everyone has a different attitude towards such things. The Mo family directly "non-music" felt that any music was bad, but when they knew that music was used to entertain monarchs of various countries, and that Taoqiu was the livelihood of the common people, the pragmatic Mo family did not say much.

The attitude of the peasant family and the Mohist family was similar, but their roots were in the countryside, and even if they had ideas, they could not stop the monarch. Taoism completely adheres to the trend of "going with the flow" and developing freely for Lile, and does not say anything more in front of Dai Yan. And the Guiguzi faction, which has a deep knowledge in power and strategy, has long "seen" Dai Yan's plan, but they are rational and will not openly sabotage Dai Yan's "plan", so they choose to keep silent on this matter!

Only Zhao Cheng, who belongs to the same son as Dai Yan and has deep influence on their respective countries, sees this matter more clearly. And out of concern for his niece and son-in-law, he naturally wanted to mention Dai Yan in this matter, so as not to go astray and undermine the stability of the Song Kingdom!

In Zhao Cheng's opinion, although Taoqiu is very prosperous today, it is only a city after all, and it is impossible to compete with the entire Song Kingdom! When observing the situation of Taoqiu, this minister of Zhao actually substituted Dai Yan's status in the Song State into his position in the Zhao State.

And in his opinion, Dai Yan's status in the Song State was more dangerous than his position in the Zhao State! Because whether it was when his brother was in power, or now when his nephew is in power, the abilities of the two are biased towards military strategy, and in this regard, Zhao Cheng is impossible to compare with them, so the two have never worried about what Zhao Cheng can set off in the country!

And the situation of the Song State is not like this, the Song Junzi is happy, although the Dai family has completed the Song Dynasty, but the princes of all countries do not think that this monarch has any real outstanding talents. On the contrary, Zi Yan's virtuous son is famous all over the world, and all the knowledgeable people in the countries think that Zi Yan's ability is far stronger than that of this Song monarch!

Therefore, in this context, the virtuous son Ziyan did not stay in Suiyang and participated in the decision-making of the core of the Song Kingdom, which was actually regarded by all countries as the jealousy of Song Junzixi for Ziyan!

Zhao Cheng is naturally the one who has long seen the internal situation of the Song State, and in his plan, Tao Qiu, and even the Song State, are an important ally of the Zhao State in the southeast! From the country's point of view, he also did not want to see Zhao's allies weakened by civil strife. After all, Ziyan's ability is stronger than that of Song Junzixi, and even if Zixi can suppress the "rebellion" launched by Ziyan, it will take great effort, which will make Song fall into a long-term stalemate!

And the political factions in the Song State are supported by various countries, which also determines that once the Song Dynasty is in turmoil, it will be affected by the surrounding powers!

Zhao Cheng directly issued a warning to Dai Yan with the personal experience of a powerful minister, which also made Dai Yan attach great importance to it! In his opinion, such a mistake was actually ignored by his identity as a traverser. In the future generations, what songs to listen to, what dances to watch, where there are so many restrictions in this era!

So after the banquet of King Xiang was completed, Dai Yan immediately disbanded the mulberry band, and loaded the piano, the king of musical instruments, as a tribute, and sent it to Suiyang in person.

And Suiyang's reply to Tao Qiu for the piano sent also made Dai Yan's heart sink slightly, and there was no joy at all to receive the tribute, only a pure coldness! That cold attitude made Dai Yan instinctively feel a trace of danger!
