Chapter 36: Nocturne
Wang Zizheng made no secret that he liked men far more than women.It is very easy for an emperor's family like them to develop the habit of breaking their sleeves.Although most of the princes have this tendency, they still marry wives in order to reproduce, even if they still can't resist the temptation of male pets from the bottom of their hearts.
Wang Zizheng is deeply aware that the era he is living in is the worst era and the best era.Although people are aware of such a special feeling, they all adopt a tolerant attitude of indifference.
But there are also individual incidents that have been dealt with severely.For example, the crown prince of a certain dynasty often secretly favored young people who played palace music in private, and one of them was very beautiful. At that time, their relationship developed to the point of sleeping together.When his father heard about this incident, he arrested and killed the young man playing palace music.From then on, the prince's grief and longing for that young man for four years was often difficult to extricate himself, making sacrifices day and night, wandering around and shedding tears.
And as early as thousands of years ago, this kind of atmosphere was more popular.
In the era of Xia, Shang, and Zhou, some slave owners would easily take advantage of their social status to take some hard work as male favorites to satisfy their indulgent selfish desires.
The Qin and Han Dynasties were simply the age of luck.This era has the same characteristics as the pre-Qin era. The prosperity of Longyang mainly occurred between the emperors and their lucky ministers, such as Han Gaozu and Jiru, Wendi and Deng Tong, Wudi and Han Yan, Li Yannian, Chengdi and Zhang Fang, Aidi and Dong Xian and others.Fortunately, there are eunuchs and scholars, and they have received great political benefits because of their romantic relationship with the emperor.
Sima Qian's "Historical Records", the 120th volume and five volumes are the biographies of Ning Xing.Among them, the story of the broken sleeve that people talk about is especially popular. The protagonist Dong Xian was ranked among the three princes at the time, and he was only 22 years old when he was the chief Sima.Emperor Ai even said with a smile that he would follow Yao and Shun's abdication and pass on the throne to Dong Xian.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, wars broke out frequently, and life was as short as morning dew, and a kind of unrestrained and unrestrained atmosphere formed in the society.From the high school to the lowly scholars, they all love Qingxuan, pay attention to demeanor, and try their best to get rid of the shackles of various etiquette laws and regulations.
Therefore, in that era, such a fashion became more popular, even surpassing the favor of women.And these male favorites are even more talented, playing and singing, piano, chess, poetry, calligraphy and painting, tea, wine, singing and dancing.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and it has been a month since he entered the palace. The time Anu stayed in the harem accumulated day by day. As he gradually became familiar with the other followers, he finally got used to the loneliness.
On this day, the head of the harem came to pass a message, saying that the festive season was approaching, and the harem needed to prepare some celebration programs for the king of Fujian, and asked what props everyone needed.Anu thought about it for a while, remembering that his mother liked humming a lot back then, and he had learned a lot of tunes by accident, so he replied to the manager and asked him to find a piano.
Among the entourages in the harem, Lu Qiao from Jianzhou City was lively and sympathetic to Anu, and had a very good relationship.Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, Lu Qiao didn't feel any sense of urgency.
He said, anyway, I don’t know any programs, and I didn’t say that if I don’t prepare a program, I will be punished. It’s just that I don’t have rewards.
After hearing this, Anu sweated for him, he was born in an ordinary family, and his life was ordinary, he didn't understand the intrigues in this deep palace compound.Therefore, Anu persuaded him with good words and asked him to prepare a show with him. Anu played the piano and he danced.Anu taught him some simple dance moves, which complemented Anu's immature tunes and complemented each other perfectly.
After hearing this, Lu Qiao cheered and said, everything depends on Brother Anu.
Anu smiled and said, are you not afraid of losing money if you dance with me?
Lu Qiao patted me on the shoulder and said, oops, everyone in the harem wants to make me suffer, only Brother Anu, you wish to let me take advantage of it, I, Lu Qiao, am a discerning person.
So, at the hour of every day, Anu and Lu Qiao practiced playing the piano and dancing in the courtyard of the harem on time.Lu Qiao is quite smart and clever, and Anu can understand the key skills when he simply talks about the dance steps.It's just that Lu Qiao is a lazy person. After practicing for a while, he sat aside to rest, eating fruit and listening to the Anu Fuqin.
Before, Anu didn't learn the rhythm and playing the piano, but he often listened to his mother humming, and he kept it in his heart over time.Now, Anu can only hum the tune, and it is very hard to find out the scales one by one from the strings according to the pitch.When other attendants heard my piano sound, they came to watch and enjoy it one after another.
After chatting with everyone, Anu discovered that everyone did not specially prepare any celebration programs, but just some daily praise poems and songs.They thought so, King Min is a king who is diligent in government and loves the people, galloping on the battlefield, so how could he care about enjoying the performance of playing the piano and playing music.
The words of the entourage are actually not unreasonable, King Min has no intention of celebrating, even if we try our best to please, it will be futile.But I still didn't give up the idea of playing the piano, not to win the favor of the King of Fujian, it is a kind of nostalgia for my mother.
In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the celebration dinner is held in the garden of the apse of the Min Palace.Due to the order of the king of Fujian, the celebration will be held as a family banquet, and everything will be kept simple. All people outside the palace will go home for the festival and will not be entertained.Therefore, this Mid-Autumn Festival celebration in the garden seemed very simple and casual, and the people present were nothing more than the King and Queen of Fujian, several princes, and these domestic slaves in the harem.
In the night, after the Master Chief read out the festive speech written by the King of Fujian, the dinner officially began.They enjoyed the dinner while watching the show.It turned out that not only the domestic slaves in their harem prepared the show, but several princes also brought their own performances.Unfortunately, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no sign of the full moon.
The manager announced the curtain from the side, and the programs started one after another.
The first one to perform was the second prince. He was tall, beautiful and clear like jade, and he was good at reading and had a good knowledge of classics and history.He recited a current policy theory written by himself, eloquently, and won the applause of everyone.Unexpectedly, the King of Min was very displeased, and reprimanded him, saying that the literary talent of this article is not inferior, but it has no direction, and it shows a slightly rebellious heart. It is a medium reward!
The second performer was Yan Chen. He practiced martial arts since he was a child and had fought in the battlefield. He was highly regarded by King Min, but he had always been at odds with the second prince.Yan Chen's thesis may not be as flattering as the second prince's, but he is the best in martial arts.Yan Chen drew his sword and danced, pointing the sword at the second prince, showing an aggressive attitude, which made everyone watching the show sweat from time to time.After the show, the King of Min commented that the swordsmanship is top-notch, but the murderous intent is too heavy, a medium reward!
After the performances of the two princes, there were two performances by domestic slaves, corresponding to literature and dance respectively, and both received moderate rewards.
After that, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the moon flickered between the clouds.
Under the light of the moon, the third prince, the seventh prince and the thirteenth prince performed performances one after another to add to the fun.Except for His Royal Highness Seven Kings Wangzheng who received the first-class reward, the other two princes also received middle-class rewards.Wang Zheng's performance is to recite a poem:
The BMW Tamron, the fragrant car is swept away by the wind.Welcoming the Weaver Girl in Yinhan, and engaging Chang'e in the Moon Palace.
Show off outside the clouds, make noise in the cave.When the makeup is finished, the Ruiyu condenses the color, and the clothes are beautiful, but the morning glow is red.
Xiao bid farewell to cross the stream, and return to Wuyuan in the evening.The more he thought about it, the more Wu thought it was too late.With a song, you are drunk, and with a smile, you are full of love.
Sit down and make a sycophantic mouth, because of the pearls and greens to make a speech; set up a counselor, abandon Hongtao and never return.
Gou Jian used electricity to drive away thunder, and the stars were destroyed by arrows.Throw mash and the soldiers get drunk, taste gall and open their minds.
The tiger bites the bones and shatters, and the landslide destroys the eggs.The guards at the waist of Chu turned into ghosts, and the Phoenix Pavilion and Dragon Tower were burned to ashes.
Therefore, the wine of Tusu was ordered to go to the platform of Gusu. Where will Yibaye go, and the wind of Russia and Britain will come.
Finally it was the turn of Anu and Lu Qiao to play.At this time, all the dark clouds dispersed, and the moon hung in the night sky like a big disc, pouring out its light.
Anu sat by the piano, immersed in the moonlight, and slowly plucked the strings with his fingertips.Lu Qiao danced and danced, accompanied by Anu's side.At the end of the song, Wang Zheng was the first to applaud, and after that, there was a burst of applause.
The king of Fujian sighed, saying that the melody connects the heaven and the earth and connects the soul. I have never realized it until today. Fascinated.What's the name of this song?
The piece was cobbled together from several other pieces and has no title.Anu told the truth.
你 叫 什么 名字？
My name is Anu.
Oh, I remember you, King Min continued, I have to decide a name for your song, look at the night tonight, the full moon hangs in the sky, what a peaceful atmosphere, let’s call it "Nocturne".The show undoubtedly, and rightly so, rewards the best.
After King Min finished speaking, there were warm cheers at the banquet.
Anu was overwhelmed by the flattery, while Lu Qiao cheered and jumped on his knees to thank him at the same time.Just when Anu stood up, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the displeased expression on Queen Huang's face.Anu suddenly felt worried, as if a crisis was coming.
At this time, Queen Huang said to King Min, "Your Majesty, everyone is in high spirits during the Mid-Autumn Festival today, and I also want to join in the fun. I'm afraid that this beautiful scenery will be hurt if the age is not diminished and the splendor is no longer.
The king of Min patted the back of the queen's hand, and replied with a smile, the queen's singing is always memorable to the king.
Queen Huang then got up and sang:
The day is miserable and the wind is sad, to the place where Yuyan died; the flowers are sad and weeping, and they recognize the weeping marks on the red face.There are thousands of praise clouds, and the heartbroken new ones come from the singing apes; the Qin trees are layered, and the wings are not as good as the birds...
The tune is resentful and tactful, and the lyrics are full of desolation and tragedy.I couldn't help feeling terrified when I heard it, thinking to myself, I don't know whether Queen Huang sang this song unintentionally, or whether she deliberately used this song to express her sorrow and sorrow after the King of Fujian was elected to the harem.
The queen's singing voice is still transparent and melodious, but although the lyrics are high-key, they are inevitably too sad, which does not match the beauty of this beautiful day, a great reward!King Min also commented.
When King Min said that Queen Huang's reward was the best, everyone was speechless and completely silent.And Anu was so frightened that he wanted to find a hole to get in.
How can this be good? The queen got the best reward, but Anu got the best reward. The reward of a small entourage is higher than that of the noble queen. Suddenly, Anu didn't know what to do, and he didn't have the heart to watch it performance.
