Officials in the Beiting Prefecture recently discovered that Li Zhongcheng, a year after taking office, had begun to lose his job, and he had a few drummers and a flute musician to make music on the school grounds in the inner city all day.

I remember that when Zhongcheng came to Beiting a year ago, he was still full of ambition to raise the grain reserves and financial revenue of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate to a higher level, and also to increase the population of Beiting. He had to inspect the localities and military camps every day, and successively issued notices, and the administrative intensity far exceeded that of every previous Jiedu envoy, and in just one year, Beiting's financial revenue increased by 10%, and the grain stock also increased by 60 hoards.

But who knew that in the second year, he suddenly relaxed, no longer went to inspect places, no longer tried to improve military salaries and people's livelihood, but started suona. Everyone was shocked, and there were a lot of rumors behind the scenes. said that he came to Beiting to pretend to be a good official for a year, and now he finally can't pretend anymore, so he can only reveal his original form, which is called Xinda Maokeng incense for three days. Some people also secretly call him Gai Jiayun second, no, say that he Gai Jiayun second thinks highly of him, and the bad guy Gai Jiayun has already made great achievements before he falls, and he is also the envoy of the two towns of Longyou, Hexi. He is now just a small Beiting Festival envoy, with only a small amount of credit, what qualifications do he have to be arrogant, and what qualifications do he have to satisfy.

At the beginning, when the rumors came out, there was nothing, which leader still didn't have a hobby, but after a long time, they found out that this Li Zhongcheng was really obsessed with it, and it didn't look like a hobby. Several old subordinates also couldn't stand it, and decided to persuade Li Zhongcheng that if he continued like this, he would only be able to stop at the Beiting Festival in his life.

On the afternoon of this day, Li Siye led everyone to rehearse in the school yard with a pergola, holding a suona in his left hand and a reed stick in his right hand, holding it high in his hand and waving it in his hand. Four bare-chested drummers began to beat the big drums, and from the slow tempo of the first beat, the drums began to sound like a heavy hammer, as if shaking the dust on the school grounds.

After the dull and powerful prelude, there should have been a continuation of the sound of the zither, but the person who played the zither had not yet been found, so he had to use the sound of the flute to continue it, and Li Siye raised his head and blew the suona.

He had just blown half of it, and when he looked down, he saw the maidservant Daorou standing not far away, her hands clutching her sleeves tightly, and even her feet were firmly on the ground, as if she wanted to control her legs not to move.

His breath was interrupted, and the suona stopped abruptly, and he always felt that there was a lack of guzheng accompaniment, and there was a lack of that smell.

Li Siye put down the suona and sighed regretfully, turned his head and asked her, "Did the lady call you over?" ”

Dao Rou's eyes seemed to have little stars, and he looked at him with a flushed face, and even stammered when he spoke: "No, Ah Lang, I'm just coming over to take a look." ”

"Hmm," Li Siye nodded indifferently, nodding to the four drummers and flute musicians, ready to do it all over again.

Dao Rou suddenly saw the zither lying across the desk, and asked curiously, "Isn't there a Qin Zheng here?" I didn't see anyone playing. ”

"Oh, and I haven't found a musician to play the kite yet, so I can only leave it empty."

She plucked up the courage and recommended herself: "Ah Lang, can the slave take the place of the musician." ”

Li Siye asked, half-questioning, half-surprised: "Do you know how to play the Qin Zheng?" ”

"Ah Lang can let the slave maid try it first."

Dao Rou walked behind Qin Zheng in style, sat down cross-legged, rolled up his sleeves and lightly touched the strings with both hands. As soon as you look at this movement, you can see that you have been trained. Her fingers plucked and plucked the strings, and a song "Mountains and Flowing Water" flowed from her fingers.

The four military men didn't understand much, only the old man who played the flute stood aside and shook his head and enjoyed it, and the pearl and jade of the piano beat crisply and pleasantly, as if there was really a river flowing in his ears.

At the end of the song, the old man clapped his hands and praised: "Being able to play Qin Zheng to such a skillful level at a young age is indeed a great talent, and it is indeed a lot of effort." ”

Li Siye also applauded, pretending to be an expert, he nodded approvingly and said: "Yes, but I want you to play at a fast pace, follow the drum beat twice and progressively, both in the same tune, but one is stronger than the other." ”

Because he doesn't understand the guzheng, he can only tell this feeling, and as for the conversion from the simple score to the palace merchant Jiaoyuwei, he can't understand it himself, and he can't translate the music.

"Isn't that so?" She plucked her fingers to play on the Qin Zheng, and the two fingers hooked the strings and touched it lightly, and the speed was very fast, and sure enough, the sound was stronger than the other.

Li Siye suddenly became sour, this musical talent is really not covered, after he decided to sell this song to the emperor, he will never engage in music again, and honestly be his own festival envoy.

Dao Rou raised her head and asked with a light smile: "Ah Lang, do you want to try it with the drums." ”

"Okay."

Li Siye waved the order, and the four warriors beat the drum, and the sound of the drum gradually accelerated, and then Qin Zheng followed, the rhythm was bright and short, followed by the sound of the transverse flute. Li Siye raised the suona to play, and the bright and powerful suona sound burst in, covering all the tones, and also heralding the climax of the music...... And then the song ended.

He began to point out the shortcomings of the performance just now: "When your drum sound is sounded in the Qin Zheng, you should moderately reduce the force, go hand in hand with the sound of the Zheng, and when the suona sounds, you will increase the force." And Lao Sun, don't blow your flute at the beginning of the prelude, it won't be revealed, you just wait for the suona sound to end, and play that aftertaste. ”

"Let's do it all over again."

The four drummers looked strange, and when Li Siye looked back, he saw Duan Xiushi, the military envoy of the Han Navy, standing not far away with an embarrassed expression, not knowing whether to come over or not.

Li Siye put down the suona and walked over quickly, and asked Duan Xiushi with concern: "Did you encounter any difficulties, or is there something in the army?" ”

"No," Duan Xiushi said to him left and right: "Zhongcheng, this piece of yours is impassioned, like thousands of horses galloping, thousands of armies are changing, making people's blood boiling, and the pride soars into the sky." All the military music and drum music throughout the ages cannot match it. ”

Li Siye said of course, this song has been accumulated for thousands of years, and after Huang Zhan's purification and adaptation, it has already surpassed the concept of time.

"If you use this music to boost morale in the battle formation, keep it so that the sergeants will be enthusiastic and rush to the crown, and fight to the death without retreating."

Li Siye knew that he didn't want to say this, so he asked, "You didn't just come here to praise this song. ”

Duan Xiushi stretched his hand to the back of his neck and scratched it, and said with a smile: "I know this song is good, but compared to your and our merits, it is not worth wasting your time. Since you have made up the tune, why don't you hand it over to someone else to blow, now the North Court is in ruins, and Zhongcheng can't give up the roots. ”

Li Siye smiled: "Do you think I am not doing my job by blowing suona, it is indeed from the point of view." But don't worry, I can assure you that this is just my hobby of following the saints, not really tinkering with it. I'm just exchanging it for something in front of the saint, and when I sell it to the saint, I'll be my ambassador for the North Garden. ”

Duan Xiushi suddenly felt complicated and indescribable, when Li Siye played the suona song here, he felt that he was not doing his job properly, and he forgot the essence of his work. Now Li Siye suddenly said that creating such a piece is just to please the emperor, and he will abandon his craft after using it, and he feels that he is a tyrannical thing, and the talent to create such a deafening music is to be thrown away after only one use, how not to make people sigh.
