March [-]th is a good day when the sun is rising, the breeze is refreshing, and the flowers are blooming.

The Zhenghe Palace is full of spring, and the solemn and magnificent palace shows the prosperity of the Great Qin Dynasty. Musicians play the piano, and dancers dance gracefully. Looking west.

"Emperor Brother, have you ever been to the Western Regions?"

Xuan Cheng didn't know what he meant, but shook his head, "I've never set foot here." He told him in his heart that the Western Regions in ancient times is today's Xinjiang, and he has been to Zhongwei in the westernmost part of modern times, but he didn't travel all the way west to Xinjiang.

"The Western Regions, that is a vast place, and I have never been there. It's a pity, it's a pity."

"Brother Emperor, the emperor can't leave the capital, and the country is prosperous, and it's a blessing not to go to the Western Regions."

Fu Jian turned to look at him, "But I want to go, I want to go to the Western Regions."

Xuancheng thought, I want to go too.

"If that day comes, there will be only the two of us, and we will travel all over the world." Fu Jian said this, it is a kind of good wish, after all, he is the emperor, unless he dies, otherwise, he can't go anywhere .

Fu Jian took him by the hand and sat down. There were musicians playing the zither in the hall. The sound of the zither was melodious. Everyone in the hall held their breath and listened quietly. Xuancheng looked around the outside of the hall, and the shadows floated. He didn't feel suspicious.

"Does the emperor know about Qingshangle?"

"Qing Shangle?"

Xuancheng couldn't help widening his eyes, he looked straight into Fu Jian's eyes, "What are you going to do? Qingshang music, that is a kind of court music that has been lost for a long time."

"Your Royal Brother, don't panic. I just found Qingshangle. No, to be precise, it's not pure Qingshangle. Maybe you'll understand after listening to it."

Xuancheng knows the Qing Shang music of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, which has always been regarded as the sound of the emperor, the official sound of the emperor.

The music and dance of the Qing Dynasty in the Han, Wei and Western Jin Dynasties were female music and dance. Zhang Heng described in "Xijing Fu" that "to promote the narrow sitting in the middle hall, and to go with the wine glass is useless. Xia Ji, whose beautiful voice is fluent in the Yu family, started slowly and gradually won her shape, as if she didn't let Luo Qi go, but turned around after chewing on the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Chanjuan used this."

Several emperors in the Cao Wei period were fond of Qing business music and dance. "Taizu was a frivolous man with no prestige. He was good at music and advocated excellence. He always lived day and night." Cao Cao also ordered that after his death, his courtiers would live on Tongque Terrace. "On the first and fifteenth day of every month, from morning to noon, they often play tricks in the account."When Cao Pi established the Wei State, he specially set up the Qingshang Administration, which is a specialized agency for female music and dance. "Every time the emperor sees the beauty of the nine relatives, he may keep it to pay the Qing Dynasty." Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, etc., Cao's father and son, wrote many poems with singing and dancing according to the music of the three tunes of Qing and Shang.Later generations once said, "Today's Qing and Shang Dynasties are actually composed of Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Rui, the three ancestors of the Tongque Wei Dynasty. They are romantic, Beijing and Luo are high-ranking, and Jiangzuo is heavy." It can be seen that after the Jin Dynasty, the music and dance of the Qing and Shang Dynasties were also very popular. .Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty Sima Yan was also an emperor who loved music and dance in the Qing Dynasty. He retained the Qing Dynasty Commercial Office during Cao Cao's period.After Ping Wu, 5000 Wu prostitutes were admitted.Xun Xu once sorted out the three adjustments of the Qing and Shang Dynasties.At that time, famous musicians Song Shi, Chen Zuo, Lie He, Hao Suo, Zhu Sheng, etc. all participated in the arrangement work, among which Chen Zuo was good at singing Qing songs.

During the Han, Wei and Western Jin Dynasties, the music and dance of the Qingshang Dynasty developed day by day due to the attention of the royal family. Kucha music is combined to become Xiliang music.Another part of Qing Shang music spread to the south of the Yangtze River with the Sima regime in Jin Dynasty, which promoted the development of folk music and dance Wu Sheng and Xiqu in the Yangtze River Basin.However, the central plains such as Chang'an, Luoyang and Yecheng in the north have lost the voice of **, which has also led to the situation in the traditional sense that ** is in Jiangzuo.

The biggest feature of Qingshang music is the singing of poems. All ancient poems can be composed and sung. It is different from the melody of Stone City. It seems to be similar in style, but its essence is different. Qingshang music sings reality, or has beautiful and romantic love. , or there are sad parting feelings, or there are voices of folk suffering.

The Qingshang music that Fu Jian talked about was not pure Qingshang music, that is to say, it was integrated with the sounds of the Western Regions.

I saw him waving his sleeves to push away the musicians in the hall, and everyone looked at him with puzzled eyes. After a while, a person came from outside the hall. To be exact, he floated in like a man without legs, dressed in gray Robe with wide cuffs, a guzheng in his arms, and a long crown tied up in his hair. He looks boneless, slender, fair-skinned and beautiful. He seems to be in his 40s. He bends down on the ground and bows three times.

"The villain Gu Mo Shifu pays homage to His Majesty the King of Qin."

Fu Jian raised his hand to signal, "Musicians please come up."

Xuancheng followed the puzzled eyes of everyone in the hall and fixed on that person at the same time. He seemed to be a musician, and his attire was much more noble than that of ordinary musicians. He was not like ordinary musicians, but more like the level of a court music bureau chief. However, ever since the Han people crossed southwards, there is no longer a Yuefu in the Central Plains, and there is no way to talk about the Qingshang Administration. If it is true as Fu Jian said, he found the Qingshangle, then this person must be the Qingshang Administration middle man.

Dozens of flying dancers suddenly gathered in the hall. The dancers were dressed in thin yellow shirts and red silk ribbons.

Flying to the sky, the musicians play the zither, like a stream in the mountains, flying straight down.

"The prosperity of the past, Anling and Longyang; Yaoyao peach and plum blossoms, burning with brilliance; Joy ​​is like nine springs, and sweetness is like autumn frost; Longing is beautiful, words and smiles are fragrant; hand in hand waiting for love, the same clothes in the past ; Wishing to be two birds, soaring together with wings together; Danqing's famous oath, never forget each other..."

When Qing Shang music was playing the qin and zither, the musicians sang ancient poems. This song was written by Ruan Ji, a famous Caowei celebrity in the Three Kingdoms period. It is difficult to realize the depression of the ideal in the times, there is as much depression as there is silence, as much crying as there is depression, how sad Ruan Ji is crying when he has nowhere to go.

In the past, both Anling and Longyang were favored by the kings. Ruan Ji's poem, which seems to express same-sex love, can hardly conceal the grand ambition of serving the country in his heart.

"Okay, very good." Fu Jian sighed deeply, and the Feitian dance was formed by combining old dances from the Qin Dynasty with dances from the Western Regions. This is a dance of national integration, and everyone nodded and sighed.

"Shi Fu, you come forward."

The man approached gently with the kite in his arms, and when he was three steps away from Fu Jian, he knelt down and did not move forward.

Xuancheng didn't know this musician named Shifu, but Fu Jian seemed to be in love with him.

"You lift up your face and let the emperor take a good look."

Xuancheng didn't understand what he meant, but still stared at the slightly raised face of the man, his appearance was indistinguishably exotic, no different from that of a Han Chinese.

"What can the emperor see?"

Xuancheng said slightly, "He is Han."

Fu Jian nodded, "Shifu's original name was Zhongli, and his ancestors were musicians in the Qing Dynasty during the Cao Wei period. Later, the Sima family usurped the throne and took over the Cao family. .”

Xuan Cheng thought to himself, so that's the case, no wonder he came from the Western Regions, but he didn't have any exotic style on him. He turned out to be an old man of the Cao Wei court. After a hundred years, he never thought that he could return to his hometown.

The hometown of Cao Wei is in Luoyang, and the Qing Commercial Office is located in Luoyang, so Zhongli's hometown is Luoyang.

Xuancheng came across from 640 years later, and once entered Luoyang Wangcheng, so Fu Jian said that this person is an old friend, and it is probably the same reason.

Xuancheng couldn't help smiling, "Get up, come forward."

The man put down the zither in his arms, and bent forward lightly. Seeing the bright smile on Xuancheng's face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised a slight arc. The smile made people feel extremely comfortable.

After the flying dance, everyone stepped forward to toast, "Congratulations to the king of Qin for getting this correct pronunciation."

Fu Jian responded with a smile and held up a lamp.

Xuancheng also invited wine, but Fu Jian stopped him, drinking and laughing with everyone.

The voice of ** has been lost for decades, and it has not echoed in the Central Plains since the Yongjia Rebellion in the Jin Dynasty.

Perhaps, Xuancheng understood Fu Jian's painstaking efforts.

No one's country is orthodox.

Cao Cao established the country of Wei by virtue of his meritorious service in conquering the south and conquering the north. However, the three masters of the Cao family were all young masters. The Sima family usurped power and seized the throne. The people are the most sinister and vicious. They are afraid of the family, jealous of warriors, and play tricks. The land, but he has no choice but to have two surnames in the world, why doesn't he sigh, why doesn't he feel sad?

"I understand your heart." Looking at Fu Jian's earnest eyes, Xuancheng said to himself.

A court musician can still return to the original place in the Central Plains, let alone those tens of thousands of common people and gentry?

The republic of the five races, the great unity of the world, and the ideal of the emperor as the father will eventually come.

——Shi Fu, Chun Zhanzhi, and Fu Lang hit it off at first sight, the three of them talked very happily, but laughed a lot after a few words, Xuancheng was relieved to sit aside and watch.

Chun Zhanzhi asked Shi Fu about the customs of the countries in the Western Regions, and Shi Fu shook his head helplessly, "The countries in the Western Regions are now in turmoil, and the people have no clothes, no food, and no fixed place to live. How can we talk about the customs?"

"How could this be? Didn't the 62 countries in the Western Regions establish diplomatic relations with Great Qin and live in peace?"

"Wars broke out among the countries in the Western Regions. The Gumo Kingdom was destroyed, and more than a dozen small countries were annexed one by one."

Xuan Cheng wondered, "A dozen countries have been destroyed? What's going on?"

"Yanqi Kingdom and Qiuci Kingdom, the big countries in the Western Regions, united to destroy other small countries. In the south, Subi Nvguo and Ruoqiang joined forces to attack Jingjue and Xiaowan. They wanted to dominate the Western Regions."

Xuancheng frowned. If what Shi Fu said was true, Yanqi and Qiuci would unite to destroy other countries in the Western Regions and then dominate the Western Regions. That would not be a good thing for Great Qin. Except for the Jin Dynasty south of the Yangtze River, There will be one more powerful country on the northwestern border of Great Qin. If war breaks out between Qin and Jin, and the Jin Dynasty and the great powers in the Western Regions join forces to attack Qin, then Yanqi and Qiuci will become the hindrances of Qin.

"Uncle Emperor, does Your Majesty know about this?" Fu Lang asked.

Xuan Cheng asked Shi Fu, "Can you tell Brother Huang about this?"

Shi Fu shook his head slightly, "I came from Gumo, the subjugated country, and His Majesty treated me with courtesy. I haven't informed His Majesty of the affairs of the Western Regions yet."

Xuancheng suddenly remembered that years ago, it seemed that he had heard that Fu Jian had received the envoys of the Western Regions, and it had only been three months. Could it be that the envoys of the Western Regions at that time were just a cover, and their purpose was to continue to make peace with Great Qin? Well, to prevent Qin from meddling in the affairs of the countries in the Western Regions.

Thinking of this, he suddenly paid more attention to Shi Fu's return this time, it was not just the return of a court musician.
