Although this competition is nominally Sai Xiulun vs. Cui Geng. But in fact, this competition has been related to the Turkic and Dingzhou governments, as well as the face of the Boling Cui clan.

Therefore, this competition is not just Cui Geng and Sai Xiulun on the field. They are just leaders of the two forces.

……

……

In front of Cui's ancestral hall is a whole open space, even if more than 1,000 people are together, it is not crowded at all.

The Turkic mission is in the west, the Cui clan is in the east, and the civil and military forces in Dingzhou are in the south.

Sai Xiulun said loudly: "I have heard for a long time that Cui has long known astronomy and geography, and knows everything and everything. But at the moment, I don't know anything about the Turks, and I hope to give me advice! ”

Then, he waved his hand, "Come on, bring the divine pipa!" ”

In a short time, a Turkic man brought two lutes, one large and one small, from the salute.

The large one is about three feet long, and it is full of flowers, birds, fish and insects. The small one is only about two feet, but it is ordinary and has no decoration.

Sai Xiulun pointed to the small pipa of the two lutes and introduced them one by one: "This small pipa was used by my Turkic Mur Khan when he was a teenager. At that time, he lived in Heisha City with the Gu Dulu Khan, and the people were no more than a thousand, and he was extremely embarrassed. It is really precious to be able to get this pipa as a musical instrument, and the Khan cherishes it very much. ”

Then he pointed to the big pipa and said, "This big pipa is the birthday gift of the Qiuzi Kingdom to congratulate my Great Khan on the throne this year, which is beautiful and rare in the world. However, when this big lute is played......"

When Seshulun said that he had sold a pass here, he did not continue, but glanced at the Turkic man holding the big lute, and said, "You will know as soon as you hear it! ”

Suddenly, ding ding dong ~~

The big pipa is played, although it is not very pleasant, but it is simple and desolate, and it has a unique charm.

Zhang Xingrang, the director of the Ministry of Rites, has a deep understanding of Turkic culture, and as soon as he heard this pipa song, he immediately introduced it to Cui Geng and others: "The name of this piece is "Moya Lagul", which is translated into our Chinese, which means 'Turkic Dangxing'!" Legend has it that this song was created when the Khan of Gu Dulu led 17 cavalry troops. ”

Cui Geng saw the formation on Sai Xiulun's side, and guessed: "Could it be that this guy wants to compete with us in musical instruments?" There should be a master in our Bolingcui clan who is good at pipa, right? ”

Cui Qi, the grandson of Anping's second room, said loudly: "Of course, there are people in our clan who are good at pipa, but the one who is the best at this scene at the moment is Lu Muyue's little lady. ”

Hearing this, Cui Geng subconsciously glanced at Lu Muyue, who was sitting not far away, and secretly said, my daughter-in-law Lu Ruolan plays a good flute, this Lu Muyue is good at playing the pipa, it seems that the daughters of the Lu family in Fanyang are all proficient in music and rhythm.

Knock knock~~

Just when Cui Geng guessed what Xiulun wanted to compete, there was a moth!

It turned out that the little lute on the other side was playing.

The point is that no one touched the little lute, just lying quietly on the ground, but no one screamed to themselves!

Hell yes, hit the devil?

Almost everyone turned their heads to look at the little pipa, shocked and surprised!

What's even more amazing is still to come, the little pipa that no one is sonicating, the strings seem to be gradually harmonizing with the sound played by the big pipa, quite rhythmic!

It's okay that others don't understand Turkic culture, but it's just shock and bewilderment!

But Zhang Xingrang, the head of the Ministry of Rites, changed his face greatly, he could understand the Turkic tune, and exclaimed: "Mo Ya Lagul! Moyalagul! These are the five words that this little pipa plays back and forth, how can this be? ”

Of course, the whole piece of music played by the big pipa is not only these five words, but only these five words are harmonized by the small piano, which is simply too incredible and too reverie!

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Sai Xiulun called a stop, and then said to Cui Geng very proudly: "Now the question is, why is it that when the big pipa is played, the small pipa is harmonious, and the tone is Turkic?" Could it be that it is the destiny of heaven, and I am Turkic? I also hope that Cui Changshi can clarify the doubts and doubts of this special envoy and the Turkic subjects! ”

Swish!

Suddenly, all the eyes of the people present were cast on Cui Geng's body.

That's not a good question to answer.

Because why the little pipa has no one to sing itself, and it can be in harmony with the big pipa, no one can guess the principle. Whether it is the officials on the Dingzhou side or the smart leaders in the Boling Cui clan, they really can't figure out where the joints are.

If you can't answer, doesn't it prove what Sai Xiulun just said - the destiny of heaven is returned, and the Turks are in trouble?

At that time, Wu Zetian will be the first to spare Cui Geng.

Everyone shook their heads secretly, and while scolding Sai Xiulun for being tricky, they also looked at Cui Geng sympathetically, could it be that he was unfavorable in the first game, and he wanted to eat a mouthful of?

However, Cui Geng, who was the party concerned, did not see the slightest panic on his face.

He shrugged, pointed to the little lute, and smiled, "What? Is this question difficult? What kind of bullshit Turkic is exciting, don't put gold on your face, don't you? The reason why no one is singing on this little pipa is very simple, a little bit is thorough, Shao Nima uses this broken thing to fool people in our Central Plains! ”

"Cui Erlang, Hugh is blowing nonsense!" When Sai Xiulun heard this, he was anxious, "Since you know, then say that you are ugly!" ”

"Don't worry, this official will convince you. But well, there's no hurry now," Cui Geng smiled slightly, and said, "Before that, I'll tell you a story first, and after listening to the story, everyone will understand why no one will be ssonant with this little pipa!" It is said that there is a monk in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, called Zhi Zhi ......"

In the house of the mad monk, there is a bell. Every day at noon, when the bell rings in the front hall, no one will ring the bell.

At that time, the mad monk was very puzzled, and secretly wondered, could it be that there are monsters in the Buddhist temple? So, he invited many senior monks to come here to exorcise demons, but of course the result was ineffective. In the end, the mentally demented monk was so frightened that he fell ill.

Coincidentally, the crazy monk has a good friend, who is the Taile Ling of the imperial court named Cao Shaokui, who is the best at music. When he came to visit the patient, he found something strange and said, "Don't be afraid, monk, you invite me to a vegetarian meal tomorrow, and I will help you get rid of this monster." ”

The insanity monk was suspicious, and prepared a sumptuous meal for Cao Shaokui the next day.

After Cao Shaokui finished eating, he took out a file from his sleeve and filed it a few times in several places on the clock.

Strange to say, by noon, the bell had ceased to sound by itself.

……

At this point in the story, everyone also understood Cui Geng's purpose in telling this story.

I saw Cui Geng pointing to the little pipa and said with a smile: "Now everyone should understand the reason for the bell striking, right?" It has the same frequency as the bell in the front hall, and when you strike the bell, the bell will naturally respond. This phenomenon is called resonance. In the same way, as soon as the big pipa is played, the small pipa will play 'Moya Lagul' in harmony, which is also because of the resonance. ”

"That's!"

Although he felt in his heart that what Cui Geng said was likely to be true, Sai Xiulun still argued strongly, "What is frequency? Which is called resonance? This envoy is unheard of! These are all the words of your Cui Erlang's family, which is equivalent to the same kind of nonsense! ”

Cui Geng had long expected that he would have such a hand, and he was not in a hurry, but stretched out his hand and said to Sai Xiulun: "Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you try it." You can give me that little lute, and I'll file it a few times with a file, and see if it can still be a monster, and if it can still be uninhabited? ”

"How?" Se Xiulun was so anxious that he shook his head again and again and refused, "This little pipa is my family's favorite treasure of the Silent Khan, how can it be destroyed?" ”

Obviously, this grandson has started to play a scoundrel in order not to eat.

Almost all the Central Plains people present showed disdain on their faces, except for Sun Yangao, the assassin of Dingzhou.

Sun Yangao coughed lightly and said, "Since this little pipa is the beloved treasure of the Molu Khan, it naturally cannot be damaged. Then, it is difficult to verify whether what Cui Changshi said is true or false. In this way, why don't you make a draw in this one? ”

"Sun Yangao, you are a courtier of the Great Zhou in vain, why do you turn your elbow out?"

"The surname is Sun, are you the assassin of our Dingzhou?"

"Sun Yangao, you are obviously favoring this Turk, shameless!"

For a while, the children of the Boling Cui clan, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, stood up and pointed at Sun Yangao without hesitation and scolded.

Sun Yangao was also thick-skinned, and he was not ashamed to be scolded by everyone like this, but turned his head to look at Sai Xiulun and asked, "I don't know what the special envoy thinks?" ”

Sai Xiulun was like Meng Dahe, and hurriedly said: "Okay, the draw is good!" This one is a tie! Let's start the next round! ”

"Tie? You've got a lot to think about! ”

Cui Geng snorted coldly and quit, "Who told you that if you don't destroy this little pipa, you can't verify whether I am right or wrong?" Someone, go and get a lyre. ”

The lyre, also known as Yaoqin and Yuqin, has been born in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was very popular during the Warring States Period, and is still the most widely circulated piano today.

A member of the Cui clan brought the lyre, and Cui Geng asked again: "All of you here, are there any people who are good at paper-cutting?" ”

Paper is expensive these days, who will practice this skill?

The sons and daughters of the Bolingcui clan shook their heads one after another.

But seeing Lu Muyue raise her right hand, she recommended herself with a little shyness: "The slave family has cut window flowers, and there is no problem with the paper-cutting people, but I am worried that the paper-cutting people are not good-looking." ”

"Haha, it doesn't matter if it's not good-looking, it's just that way." Cui Gengdao.

"Then the concubine's body will be ugly."

Much better than Cui Geng imagined, Lu Muyue was ingenious, and after waiting for the people of Cui's mansion to present paper and other materials and tools, she immediately cut a few maid paper figures, which was not vivid, but it was really like that.

Immediately afterwards, he asked Lu Muyue to paste these paper figures on the two strings of Shaogong and Shaoshang on the lyre, and then said: "I heard that Lu Xiaoniang is the best at music and rhythm, I wonder if there is a music score in this world that does not need Shaogong and Shaoshang Erxian?" If there is, bother the little lady to play a song. ”

Lu Muyue thought for a moment, nodded and said: "There are some, there are many ancient songs that only play the five strings of Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu, and the concubine will play a song "Youlan". ”

"Okay, Little Lady Lu is invited." Immediately, Cui Geng glanced around and reminded everyone: "Don't patronize and listen to music, but also pay attention to the villains in the Shaogong and Shaoshang." Soon, a miracle is about to happen! ”

Sure enough, with the sound of the pipa, the paper figures suddenly trembled, as if they were dancing!

People who have quite a good understanding of the rhythm have suddenly come to their senses, and they shouted: "If the second string of Gong Shang moves, then Shaogong and Shaoshang move twice, this is the resonance that Cui Changshi said!" Seshulun, the facts are right in front of you, what else do you say? ”

Seshulun looked at the lyre in disbelief and shook his head, "How is this possible?" How so? ”

At this time, Feng Changqing scooped half a spoonful of dung with a huge soup spoon, stepped forward, and shouted, "Turks, you have lost!" Willing to lose! If you know each other, come and have a bite! A certain family only scooped half a spoonful of manure to ensure that you won't eat it! ”

Sai Xiulun was so frightened that his face was like a blank sheet of paper, and he took a few steps back!

Cui Geng shouted at Feng Changqing: "Changqing, the special envoy of the race is a guest from afar, how can you let the family eat dung when you meet for the first time?" ”

When Sai Xiulun heard Cui Geng's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, even if he Cui Erlang was kind!

Cui Geng said again: "Come on, go get half a spoonful of frosting." Half a spoonful of frosting, half a spoonful of dung, so that the envoy can swallow some better, isn't it? ”

Seshulun no longer had the strength to speak: "......"

On the side of the Boling Cui clan and the Dingzhou officials, they immediately burst into laughter!

In an instant, someone who really had a good deed took half a spoonful of frosting and handed it to Feng Changqing.

Feng Changqing held half a spoonful of frosting in his left hand and half a spoonful of dung in his right hand, and approached Sai Xiulun step by step.

Suddenly, Sai Xiulun was in a hurry, raised his arms high, and shouted, "Wait, wait! This envoy has something to say! ”

Feng Changqing continued to approach and sneered: "Willing to gamble and lose, what do you want to quibble?" ”

Sai Xiulun had already smelled the disgusting smell of dung, he quickly turned his head, looked at Cui Geng, and shouted: "Cui Changshi, even if what resonance you said is true." But why doesn't this little pipa resonate with anything else, but has to resonate with the five words 'Mo Ya Lagul'? Doesn't this show that we Turks are in the ascendant and destiny is returned? ”
