Chapter 317

It seems that Yu Shiji's gesture of goodwill is to show his goodwill to the Yang and Li families.

Since he is so low-key, this is in line with Yang Ning's consistent thinking. It is better to be low-key as a person.

After all, the emperor's favorite ministers, whether Yu Wenshu or Yu Shiji, can be regarded as powerful people.

However, they are constantly at odds with each other and have many enemies.

Not long after, countless imperial cavalry with imperial flags on their backs, or eunuchs and waiters, and of course the personal servants of those aristocratic families, rushed out one after another, and walked along the bank of Yongji Canal where literati gathered.

Or maybe it's the poetry masters who have been waiting all over Qinghe City, and the courtyard where the poets are staying not far away.

Yang Qian was also in the courtyard. He was already bored. He was drinking boiled water and pacing slowly in the corner of the courtyard. Finally, he squatted in the corner again and watched the ants move with great gusto...

Yang Qian felt as if he had returned to his childhood, squatting with a group of good friends from the kindergarten and watching the ants move. It was a childlike scene for a long time.

The waiters on the side stared blankly at the talented and handsome scholar Yang Xiaoshu sitting on the pony, throwing a chicken bone on the ground from time to time, and then watching with relish the ants carrying the bones.

When he thought of the ministers in the courtyard who were like demons and chattering like gods, the waiter couldn't help but feel sincerely in his heart.

Sure enough, these people are really not ordinary people.

At this moment, the eunuch's distinctive shrill voice came from the distance.

"News has arrived. Everyone and officials, please come together and be quiet. Please be quiet!"

Yang Qian dropped the bones in his hands, clapped his hands and stood up, about to rush towards the sound.

I saw Eunuch Wang running over panting. The moment he saw Yang Qian, Eunuch Wang showed a relieved smile and bowed to Yang Qian.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Qian heard that the question has been given?"

"Exactly, our family came here specially to report to Principal Yang."

"The title is "Shui Tiao Song", which His Majesty wrote, composed and composed the lyrics and music himself while meditating for more than a month in Xianren Palace."

"..."

#####

""Water Melody Song"...was it chosen by His Majesty?" Yang Qian was stunned and asked subconsciously.

"Xiao Shu Yang is really great, and he hit the nail on the head. Yes, His Majesty personally selected it. His Majesty also said that "Looking to the South of the Yangtze River" is incomparable, so he chose "Water Melody Song"..."

Then, Wang Gonggong said again, "Of course, it is not the whole song of "Shui Diao Song", but the beginning of the song. That is, the ninety-five characters at the beginning of the song, so that the world's literati and writers can fill it in."

Yang Qian rubbed his brows and sat down slowly. "In other words, His Majesty's proposition is actually "Water Melody Songtou"."

"College Yang is a wise man, that's exactly what it is." Wang Gonggong laughed happily. Talking to smart people has this advantage and it's not troublesome at all.

"Eunuch Wang, do you think this Sui Dynasty's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" is different from other..."

"Others? What else?" Looking at Yang Qian with a dull expression, Wang Gonggong was completely confused and didn't quite understand why Yang Qian had such an expression.

Yang Qian sat frozen on the pony, haha...neon lights flashed in his consciousness again.

Mission: capture the title of the literary event, reward: a treasure chest.

Very good, System Dad, you always come out unexpectedly and let me know how powerful you are. Do you need me to shout 666 for you?

"Shui Tiao Ge Tou" is obviously a Song poem, right? Could it be said that the Shui Diao Ge Tou in this Song poem originated from the middle-aged Yang Guang?

Now, there is only one thing that needs to be done. Yang Qian raised his eyes and looked steadily at the confused Wang Eunuch in front of him.

"I dare to ask Wang Eunuch, these days, you have given Qian a lot of music scores and lyrics, but those things don't seem to include "Shui Tiao Song", right?"

"Oops, we were in such a hurry that we forgot to pick it up. Mr. Yang, please stay here and don't move around. We'll come as soon as we go..."

"..." Yang Qian looked at Eunuch Wang's back with a dark face. Why do everyone in Lingtian like to use this kind of joke to hurt me again and again?

Yang Qian didn't know how to do it, but Wang Gonggong hurried back with two pieces of rice paper in his hand.

"This is what His Majesty ordered to be copied just now, in order to let those who don't know the lyrics and rhymes of water-melody songs know the words."

Yang Qian raised his hand to take it, looked at it carefully, and only glanced briefly, then Yang Qian let out a long sigh of relief.

Although it seems that the rhyme and rhyme are slightly different from those of the Song Dynasty, Yang Qian really doesn't know if it is due to changes in the times.

However, the format is exactly the same. If you think about it carefully, Tang poetry is about reading, while Song poetry is about singing. It makes sense that they are inherited from the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

"Xiaoshu Yang, do you have any other needs? If so, just ask. Our family has obeyed His Majesty's decree, and I will be here to protect you."

"Your Majesty, how about, um, your Majesty, please help me hire someone who can play this song? It doesn't matter if it's a pipa, a flute or a zither."

Yang Qian had never heard the original ancient version of "Shui Tiao Song", so he naturally took this opportunity to experience the excellent ancient music.

"No problem, why are you standing there in a daze? Let's invite someone who can play the pipa. By the way, let's invite a singer too."

Listening quietly to the sound of the pipa and the singer's low singing, Yang Qian thought about it and asked the question he wanted to know most.

“Can the rhyme and pronunciation be changed while the number of words remains the same?”

The musician holding the pipa glanced at Eunuch Wang, and then bowed to Yang Qian.

"Of course it's possible. In my Sui Dynasty, the southern and northern sounds are different, and the singing methods are different, so the pronunciation will naturally change."

"The beginning of the song "Shui Tiao Song" composed by your majesty shows the difference between the pronunciation of Jiangnan and the pronunciation of Guanzhong."

As expected of a veteran of the Royal Orchestra, he gave such a perfect answer.

"Thanks for the tip."

Yang Qian's eyes lit up. After saluting this person, he clenched his hands into fists and finally showed a relieved smile on his face.

"I don't dare to take it seriously..." The musician was a little confused. He didn't quite understand why such a simple change of rhyme was worthy of such excitement by this great talent, who was famous in both the government and the public.

Of course Yang Qian didn't know, since he had never written lyrics or composed music.

Feeling relieved, Yang Qian gestured to the musician. "You two can continue, please allow Yang to listen carefully..."

The music sounded again, and the singing became clearer and clearer. Yang Qianye had already begun to search in his memory for the "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" that would be the most decisive and unparalleled song in the world...
