Chapter 34: Hitting the muzzle

Han Jian played the most basic harmonica introductory song "Two Tigers", which is a popular children's song, relatively cheerful and with a strong sense of rhythm. It is easier to "deviate" Pan Fuzi's piano music.

When Pan Fuzi first heard the song "Farewell", which was melodious and lyrical, he made preparations for slow music, but when he heard the music played by Han Jian's harmonica, he immediately felt that his two hands were not enough, and it was basically difficult for him to use piano music to keep up with the speed of Han Jian's blowing, and what was even worse was that the rhythm of Han Jian's blowing was getting faster and faster.

Pan Fuzi was sweating profusely, what a rare opportunity to perform, but it was an "ensemble" with a person who had no tacit understanding, he felt more uncomfortable than death, the faster Han Jian played, the more chaotic he played, and he didn't know what he was playing in the back.

To outsiders, it is just extremely discordant voices coming together, saying that this is an ensemble, it is better to say that two people are fighting with each other's music, it is simply a state of hand-to-hand combat. In the back, Pan Fuzi knew that he couldn't fight Han Jian, so he directly slowed down the rhythm and played the so-called sound of mountains and flowing water little by little.

None of the people present thought how good Han Jian's "musical" tune was, and if it weren't for the presence of the empress, they couldn't wait to plug their ears. One plays fast-paced, while the other plays slowly. There was only one person in the audience who had been trying to find the tune that Han Jian was playing, and it was Yang Li'er. Yang Li'er couldn't believe that the "stringless piano", which had been in her hands for two days, and couldn't even find the complete sound, could play such a fanciful tone in Han Jian's place, and the coherence of the piano sound was as if there was no need for ventilation in the middle, which she felt incredible.

It's just that because Han Jian didn't tell her, the harmonica can not only be played, but also sucked, and she hasn't figured it out yet.

Han Jian played a simple tune several times, because without Qi'er's vivid voice to accompany him, no one present knew what he was playing. When Han Jian stopped, Pan Fuzi also stopped, and at this time, Pan Fuzi's whole person was about to collapse a little. In his opinion, this "ensemble" is even more thrilling than going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

At the end of the song, no one applauded or coaxed, everyone looked at the empress.

The empress smiled slightly, and first clapped her hands and said, "The ensemble of the prince of the East King and the son of Pan is very good. I accepted this gift with a smile. ”

Only then did the officials below breathe a sigh of relief, and some flatterers also echoed two sentences. The empress smiled and nodded to Han Jian, signaling that he could go back first, while Han Jian went to Yang Li'er first, returned the harmonica, and then returned to his seat. And Pan Fuzi, on his side, also returned to his seat with the Jiao Liuqin that the empress had given him again.

When Han Jian just sat down, Cui Mingli whispered with some annoyance: "What are you playing!" ”

Not a question, but an exclamation. Han Jian smiled, he estimated that Old Man Cui had been tortured enough by the "ensemble" just now, and his old face drooped.

When Han Jian's dedication was over, according to the usual practice, the empress should ask some about the customs and customs of the Four Kings realm. But at this moment, a figure came out from behind the crowd, holding something like a book, and fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a playbook." The man shouted, with an indomitable momentum.

When Han Jian saw this person, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, it was Hu Deming, the Shaofu of the Tingwei Mansion who had a lot of "fate" with him in the past two days. Han Jian thought to himself, this old guy doesn't want to participate in me, right?

The empress said: "Today's banquet in the palace is not related to court affairs, and the concert will be postponed and discussed." ”

Hu Deming didn't get up, and said stubbornly: "What the minister played is related to the foundation of my Wei Dynasty and the foundation of the future. Don't be slack. Please be sure to take a look! ”

As soon as Hu Deming said this, the people of the four kings and the civil and military officials present all felt that he was too ignorant, and if he really had such an important recital, he should not have played it at this time, or he could wait for the banquet to end.

Seeing Hu Deming's insistence, the empress sighed and signaled to Lu Shaokun, who stepped forward to take the notebook and handed it to the empress. Everyone looked at the empress and watched her reaction to determine if it was as strict as Hu Deming had described.

The empress opened the notebook, looked at it twice, and suddenly threw it on the desk, looked up at Hu Deming, and said, "You participate in the play of the prince of the East Wang?" ”

Everyone looked sideways at Han Jian, Han Jian glanced at Hu Deming, and thought that this old guy had really come to the door.

"Exactly!" Hu Deming raised his head and said with a resolute expression, "The minister has seen with his own eyes, this rebel minister is in Qingyue Fang, and he has a secret meeting with the Qi people, and it is like a business plot. ”

Han Jian had a moderate expression on his face and didn't say anything, but no one present at this time didn't look at him. Conspiring with the Qi people, this is a big case, and there are not a few people in the Wei Dynasty who were killed because they had a very close relationship with the Qi people.

The empress asked, "The prince of the east, is there such a thing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has no conspiracy with the Qi people." Han Jian got up and said, "Yesterday, in the Qingyue Fang, there was a person who came up to explain the identity of Hu Erjin, the general of the green capital, and the minister didn't know that that person was a Qi person, and he was Zhu Tongjing, the envoy of Southern Qi. Hu Shaofu, you said that I conspired with the surnamed Zhu, but there is evidence? ”

Hu Deming sneered: "You are whispering together, do you still need evidence?" ”

"Say that we whisper and don't even know what to say, and that there is a conspiracy? Since you don't know what to say, then let the minister play back and forth to His Majesty. Han Jianxin said Fortunately, I was prepared, and at that moment he took out a scroll from his arms and asked Lu Shaokun to hand it to the empress, "Your Majesty, this is the beginning and end of the dialogue between the minister and Zhu Tongjing yesterday, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can find the people who sat at the same table yesterday and ask them one by one." ”

Han Jian said and glanced at Yang Xi, the sixth prince sitting next to the empress, this was one of the parties.

Hu Deming saw that the empress was holding the scroll that Han Jian had played, and nodded while looking at it, which seemed to be unfavorable to him, so he hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "Your Majesty, you must not listen to the words of this rebellious minister......

"Hmm." The empress raised her head and nodded, "What Hu Shaofu said makes sense, but as far as I know, it was indeed not the only prince of Dongwang who was present at that time. ”

"Or a conspiracy!" Hu Deming added.

"I don't know if there was a conspiracy." The empress suddenly glanced sideways at Yang Xi, "Xi'er, you were there at the time, so tell me, what was the situation at that time?" ”

"Yes, Sister Huang!" Yang Xi stood up in front of everyone.

When the people present looked at it, they said that this was lively, and the six princes, who had never been conspicuous, were actually present? What's going on?

Yang Xi got up and told the conversation between Han Jian and Zhu Tongjing yesterday, and even the private words between several people were very clear. After Yang Xi finished speaking, the people present knew that Han Jian and Zhu Tongjing had just met by chance, and they didn't talk much about each other, and the conspiracy was even more imaginary.

After listening to this, the empress nodded again, looked at Hu Deming and said, "Hu Shaofu, what do you think?" ”

Hu Deming hurriedly kowtowed and argued forcefully: "If the minister does not investigate, please forgive your majesty." When he knew that the kid who was with Han Jian was actually the sixth prince, he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

The empress said calmly: "Framing me as the backbone of the Great Wei Dynasty can be punished." Someone came, took Hu Deming down, and handed it over to the Department of Prudence and Law for investigation. ”

"Old minister...... Thank you! Although he was dismissed from his post and questioned, Hu Deming still thanked the emperor.

From this alone, Han Jian knew that Hu Deming was a member of the royalist faction, but he didn't know that he was being used as a gunman, and he picked a bad time to talk about it. If he reported it behind his back, and there was no Yang Xi to testify, then this matter would definitely make the Dongwang Mansion and the imperial court suspicious.

A good feast, because of Hu Deming's ignorance, the next content is a little dull. The empress didn't seem to be in a good mood, and she was not in the mood to ask any more about the customs, so she went back early on the grounds that she was too strong to drink. Before the empress left, she also explained the matter of worshipping the heavens at the imperial mausoleum in Luoyang City the next day.

Without the presence of the emperor, the banquet would be over, and those present began to leave one by one under the arrangement of the people of the Ministry of Rites.

Han Jian stood up and went to the gate of the hall with Cui Mingli, ready to leave. He wondered in his heart whether Hu Deming's matter was a single incident, or if there would be a series of slanderous voices next.

At this time, Yang Li'er walked up to him and looked at him with an angry face.

"Miss Yang Er, is there something?" Han Jian asked.

"If you want to make music, you want to give it yourself, why do you want to borrow a stringless harp in public?"

Han Jian spread his hands, meaning "I can't help it".

Yang Li'er snorted coldly and said, "How do you know, I will bring the stringless piano with me, if I don't bring it, wouldn't you be a bully?" ”

Han Jian didn't expect Yang Li'er to be entangled with him about this, he laughed and said: "Miss Yang, in fact, you and I are both piano lovers, but I just compare my heart to my heart, I brought a stringless piano on my body, so I expected you to bring it too." Even if you didn't bring it, wouldn't you have my own? ”

Han Jian said, taking out the piano from his arms and gesturing. Only then did Yang Li'er know that he had brought the piano and deliberately borrowed it from her.
