Almost everyone present was shocked by this turn of events.
The people exclaimed.
The queen looked gloomy.
All officials in Liangzhou were sweating profusely and their legs were shaking.
Zheng Yueru looked at Shen Manqing on the float with a pale face...
Is she crazy?
This "Ambush from Flying Daggers" is a relatively large piece of music, with majestic momentum and distinctive artistic image. The structure is very complete and uses musical narrative techniques to perfectly express the famous ancient and modern battles between Chu and Han, the most important of which is the Battle of Gaixia. Shen Manqing is a master of piano art. In her ups and downs and tense rhythm of the piano, Set off by the body movements of the courtesan accompanying the dancers, the exciting melody of this piece makes the listeners excited and excited.
"good!"
"This...is this a martial art?"
"Miss Manqing is so talented!"
This ancient Qin music can be divided into two categories, one is literary music and the other is martial music. If the "Prosperous Dragon Flame" just now is a literary piece, then this "Ambush from Flying Daggers" is a martial piece. It should be nondescript and unrelated to each other, but today, under the interpretation of the girls from Fengminglou, the transformation is natural. Although it feels abrupt for a moment, people will soon realize it!
Shen Manqing and others are playing the role of a person of extremely high status who encounters an ambush from all sides, surrounded by murderous intent. Assassins nearby are looking at him with eager eyes, and shouts of killing are heard in the distance.
This is a decisive battle!
"Ambush from Flying Daggers" was a piece Liu Zheng once taught to Shen Manqing at Fengming Tower. Today, he played it again and paired it with today's dance. The live performance was astonishing.
"good!"
"happy!"
The literati and common people cheered endlessly.
But what about the queen?
Everyone was shocked!
From "The Golden Age of Dragon Flame" to "Ambush from Flying Daggers", what kind of meaning does Fengming Tower want to convey? Could it be that he is mocking the current Longyan Dynasty, which has been exhausted for a long time and is on the verge of death? Or are you cursing that the queen has returned in glory, but is surrounded by murderous intent?
No matter what, has Fengming Tower taken advantage of others?
Chen Ping was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, sweating and said: "Queen, this matter has nothing to do with my Liangzhou Mansion, empress!"
"Too presumptuous!"
"Whose family does this Fengming Building belong to?"
"He who is treasonous and dishonest will have his heart punished!"
The other officials also beat their chests and knelt down after Chen Ping. Liu Dahao was also crying and scolding in his heart, "Zheng'er, what are you doing? How should I deal with it as a father?"
The maids and eunuchs were also frightened.
Queen Zheng Fu's gloomy face slowly cleared up, and she smiled faintly: "It's a good song, isn't it? You see, many people like it."
Everyone was frightened and kept kowtowing.
The queen said calmly: "Everyone, get up. I am not so stingy. The people of Liangzhou have been strong and strong since ancient times. When I come back to visit my relatives, I have to go back to my hometown and follow the customs. Today is the Lantern Festival, and Fengming Tower presents such a beautiful song. reward!"
Chen Ping wiped his cold sweat, then stood up and shouted: "The Queen is kind and virtuous!"
Everyone shouted loudly.
At this time, the Fengming Tower, the last float, finally came slowly and finished its song, and the whole city cheered. Today's Fengming Tower is truly wonderful, both civil and military. In terms of the program alone, it is definitely much better than the palace dance of the Lanxiang class.
"Mr. Liu, you are so willing!"
At this time, Du Biao burst into laughter and seemed to hug Liu Zheng sincerely, showing great admiration.
Is this why newborn calves are not afraid of tigers?
Is he really not afraid of offending the Queen?
Liu Zheng also smiled: "You are ridiculous, the third master. The Lanxiang class danced in the palace, and the boy had to deal with it hard. That's why he was so desperate!"
"Manqing is really blind when he admires you!"
Zheng Yueru glared at Liu Zheng fiercely.
Liu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew what Zheng Yueru meant. If the queen was angry during today's program, Shen Manqing would be the first to bear the brunt of her anger. But she knew the dangers of today's show, but she still accepted it calmly, and performed it so perfectly. On the one hand, it was really for Liu Zheng, a close friend, and on the other hand, it was her own pursuit of art.
Fortunately, what made Zheng Yueru feel at ease was that the queen's reward was coming soon.
"The program at Fengming Tower is novel and full of ups and downs. Shen Man's talent is outstanding in Liangzhou. Master Long Yan will be rewarded with 500 gold coins and be promoted to the palace piano master!"
Zheng Yueru was so excited that she knelt down to thank Shen Manqing.
Palace piano player, this is equivalent to an official status! And his rank is not low, he is a sixth-rank palace violinist. In other words, after tonight's performance, Shen Manqing can not only win the title of Liangzhou Oiran, but can even completely eliminate the impact of her father's exile on her.
As a best friend, how could Zheng Yueru not be happy for her?
Liu Zheng actually made the right bet!
Shen Manqing also had tears in her eyes: "The daughter of the people thanked the Queen."
The whole audience also kept shouting.
The Empress admired Shen Manqing alone, and her attitude was very clear. She must be the oiran tonight.
"The Queen has issued a decree to summon Mr. Liu Zheng and Mr. Liu of Fengming Tower, and Zheng Yueru of the Zheng family to appear before him!"
Just when people started to revel again, the eunuch had already ran down to the third floor.
Zheng Yueru looked worried, but Liu Zheng took a deep breath. Didn't he risk his life just because he wanted to see the queen? This destructive act, if done well, will shock the world, but if done incorrectly, it will result in bloodshed and even broken bones. Fortunately, so far, he has already succeeded halfway!
The two of them followed the eunuch all the way, and the eunuch told them some things to pay attention to in a sharp voice, such as how to kneel, how to say hello, how to talk to the queen, and the queen was not allowed to shout or look up.
The two of them kept it in mind.
On the top floor of the flower building, the queen had already sat back in her chariot, accompanied by hundreds of officials from Liangzhou. The eunuch first asked the two of them to wait here, then returned to the queen step by step, and then said in a loud voice: "Xuan Liu Zheng, Zheng Yueru comes to see you!"
The two of them walked in together and knelt down on the ground.
"Queen, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
Liu Zheng felt that at this moment, nearly a hundred pairs of eyes on the top floor were all focused on his back, which doubled his pressure.
Then, there was a moment of silence.
Disconcerting silence.
Queen Zheng Fu smiled and looked at the two young people who were kneeling in worship, and slowly said: "I'm afraid if there are more of these ambushes from all sides, this palace may not even last a hundred years."
Everyone was shocked.
Liu Zheng also quickly said: "Empress, "House of Flying Daggers" is a work of art, please don't take it seriously..."
Zheng Yueru was too frightened to speak.
The queen said calmly: "Master Liu, raise your head."
Liu Zheng took a deep breath and raised his head calmly. When he walked in, it was the first time he dared to look into the eyes of the current empress, a being who was inferior to one person and surpassed ten thousand people. Although the queen is already in her forties, she is indeed a rare beauty. She looks graceful and luxurious, with jade-like skin. She looks like she is in her early thirties. It is hard to imagine that this woman already has a son who is fifteen or sixteen years old. This queen's eyes are sharp and she looks like an ordinary person. She definitely cannot be the kind-hearted person Zheng Yueru said...
Seeing that Liu Zheng still dared to look at her, the queen sneered and shouted: "How brave Liu Zheng, what if I want to punish you?"
The whole audience was shocked. Chen Ping, Liu Dahao and others were so frightened that they knelt down again.
Liu Zheng was not afraid, he looked at the queen and smiled faintly:
"Empress, the common people believe that art should be free from any shackles before it can produce fine works!"
"What is handed down from generation to generation should not be the complicated and unoriginal palace dance!"
"In the thirty states of Xiliang in ancient times, tens of thousands of grievances and grievances belong to celebrities. The prison basin is full of guests, and the talented people are in the upper reaches. They avoid the banquet and fear the literary prison, and the books are all plotted by Daoliang. Five hundred people in Tianheng are here, Is it possible that all the princes will be conquered when they return?"
"If our Longyan dynasty is not powerful enough, how can it be passed down for more than a thousand years?"
He looked at each other calmly and spoke in a coherent manner.
Zheng Fu couldn't help but have a look of surprise flash in her eyes.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! What a person who avoids the literary prison and writes books for the sake of rice!"
Zheng Fu laughed loudly: "What a celebrity who has come from thirty states in Xiliang since ancient times and has tens of thousands of grievances and grievances! In my opinion, the entire young people in the Longyan Dynasty are not as good as you!"
For a dignified queen, this can be regarded as disregarding etiquette and being dissolute. But she couldn't help but laugh. Everyone else present looked unhappy. Liu Zheng's poem almost cursed everyone present! Liangzhou, which is famous all over the world, is controlled, divided, managed, and persecuted by a group of so-called celebrities who have no knowledge, no ideals, and no ethics. with...
On the contrary, those who truly read literature, truly pursue scholarship, and read through the past and present, stay far away, dare not speak, dare not speak out, and even if someone writes books, it is only to support their families.
In this way, how can civilization progress?
How does a country progress?
How can people's livelihood improve?
Although there was no "literary prison" in the history of the Longyan Dynasty, there were many people who were convicted for their words, especially those who offended the royal family, who were often exiled and beheaded. Therefore, Liu Zheng used this metaphor, and it was not inappropriate. Appropriate.
He also used art to talk about academics, showing Liu Zheng's fearless feelings about speaking out and worrying about the country and the people.
"good!"
Zheng Yueru couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she looked at Liu Zheng's side face with fascination.
She suddenly thought of Shen Manqing today, following Mr. Liu like him, even if he was shattered into pieces today, so what? They just want to have fun!
For a moment, Liu Zheng became so majestic and romantic in her eyes...
The queen laughed for a while and then realized that she had lost her bearing. She looked at Chen Ping beside her and covered her mouth with a smile: "Master Governor, what do you think?"
Chen Ping complained endlessly in his heart.
Whether he rushed quickly or slowly, pressed openly or covertly, Liu Zheng still stole the show today. No one could tell at this time that the Queen had no intention of punishing Liu Zheng! And not only will he not be punished, he may even be favored!
Chen Ping had so many thoughts in his mind that he walked out and was about to speak.
No matter what, he must first recognize Liu Zheng as his "son-in-law" today!
The queen suddenly looked at Zheng Yueru and said with a smile: "You are Yueru, right? Look up, well, you look a bit like me when I was young. Can you marry me? What does Yueru think of this Young Master of the Liu family?"
"ah?"
Zheng Yueru's delicate body trembled, her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she was at a loss.
Chen Ping almost missed the step and fell down on the steps.
What the hell?
Is this a gift of marriage?
