Tsk! Confucius would blow your head off if he knew about this!

The moment Gu Zhong walked into the academy, for some reason, his scalp suddenly went numb.

Was it because he was too nervous?

Gu Zhong thought that was the case. After all, this was no longer a small fight. After this period of fostering his reputation, he successfully invited (tricked) the great scholar Tong Xin Tong to give his lecture, and the great scholar Quan Yingzhang also came after hearing the news.

If the lecture goes well this time, he can tell others that the two great scholars also look at him with new eyes! If the lecture is not good, he can tell others that the two great scholars do not like his doctrine.

No matter which one it is, he will win!

Success or failure depends on this move!

Gu Qian straightened his clothes, walked in with a confident smile, and glanced at the center of the venue: "!!!"

His Majesty? !

Gu Qian saw the familiar face in the crowd at a glance, was slightly stunned, and then ecstatic.

This time, in addition to the two great scholars, he also wants the support of His Majesty! As long as these three treat him differently, what does a mere age matter!

Almost immediately, Gu Qian changed his previous plan -

he originally planned to give a lecture right away, but now it seems that it is more important to start with something elegant and elegant to make these three great figures feel good.

Coincidentally, he had obtained the score of a lost zither music before.

"Although I'm not proficient yet, it's enough to fool around. Anyway, the two great scholars have never heard the original tune of this song, and the emperor is a peasant, so he must have just listened to the whole song."

"

Before this lecture, I will play a song for you."

The virtuous lady sat under the acacia flowers with her zither in her arms, and nodded slightly to everyone present, which could be considered polite. Her hands

touched the strings of the zither, and the sound flowed out from her fingertips. The warm sunlight on him, the slight curve of his lips, and the softness of his eyelashes all seemed so perfect.

The people present were intoxicated by the sound of the zither, and even the old emperor who hated the virtuous lady had to admit that she did have some real skills.

Quan Yingzhang sat cross-legged in the front, eyes closed, fingers tapping the melody on his thighs.

The young scholar next to him nodded slightly, his mind immersed in the music.

There was no other sound here except people's breathing, the plucking of strings, and the rustling of trees.

Xu Yanmiao turned on the system and prepared to kill time playing the piano.

Coincidentally, the virtuous gentleman was playing the piano there to show his presence, and Xu Yanmiao took the opportunity to take a look at his gossip.

The first and most conspicuous one was——

[Eh? Did you play it wrong? ]

It suddenly pulled Quan Yingzhang back from his intoxicated state.

[Ah! Played it wrong again! ]

[Here is also played wrong! ]

[And here! If you can't play, can you fill it in with another tune? 】

With the wrong notes, Quan Yingzhang felt that the beautiful piano sound suddenly became dry. Moreover, he can play the piano, and his piano skills are not bad, but he has never heard this song before. In addition, Gu Zhong's piano skills are not low, so naturally he can't tell the mistakes. But after Xu Yanmiao's reminder, he can hear the wrong tune and the subtle sadness when he listens again.

Quan Yingzhang: "..."

Very good, fooling him, right?

...

Gu Zhong kept playing the piano, raised his eyes slightly, and smiled at the corners of his lips.

Come, let him see how these people fall for him...

Gu Zhong saw Quan Yingzhang frowning and looking at him.

His heart skipped a beat.

"Snap--" The sound of the piano rang out. It was not connected to the quiet tune of the water flow before. It was a complete discontinuity, not a change of tune.

Gu Zhong saw that Tong Xin Da Ru also had a strange expression.

Gu Zhong quickly adjusted his state and simply played a passionate song along the same tune, as if it was not a mistake just now, but a stream rushing out of the valley mouth, breaking free from its restraints, and splashing into a huge waterfall.

Seeing Tong Xin Da Ru's slightly puzzled look, Gu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and continued playing with gritted teeth.

——From here on, it was really forced, and it couldn't go back to the original frequency.

And Quan Yingzhang... was listening to Xu Yanmiao's thoughts, and trying to be serious so as not to laugh.

[Hey! Passionate music! I can do it too!

Xu Yanmiao immediately began to amuse himself.

He cleared his throat in his heart and started to sing—— 【The great

river! Flowing eastward! The stars in the sky! Fighting north and south! 】

It was like the howling of ghosts in a KTV.

The emperor and his ministers of Daxia were immediately shocked.

What the hell is this? !

But...

the old emperor was in high spirits.

In fact, he could probably tell that the piano sounded good, but it just didn't suit his taste - just now he was just forcing himself to stay awake and not fall asleep.

Now Xu Yanmiao's music! He loves it!

How magnificent! How exciting!

The other generals who followed him nodded vigorously in their hearts.

...

After Gu Qian played for a while, he couldn't help but sneak a peek at Quan Yingzhang's expression again.

"?!"

Why are you so serious? !

Could it be that he heard that he was playing randomly?

In his restless state, he accidentally played a wrong note. This time, Gu Zhen did not notice the slightly wrinkled brows of the scholar with a childlike heart. In his panic, he made a wrong decision——

[Eh? It's changed again. This time it feels a bit like a love song. ]

[Love songs... I can sing them too! ]

Xu Yanmiao pinched her throat.

[Ah~ah~ah~]

[Quietly—quietly—asked—the holy monk∽]

[Is my daughter—beautiful~]

[Is my daughter beautiful?]

The sudden female voice almost made the group of rough men twist their waists.

But the eyes of the civil officials lit up.

In addition to those dignified and elegant singing, they also like this kind of tender and affectionate singing. It is better to say that the talented man and the beautiful woman just tickle their taste.

- Although this talented man is a bald man. Although they have never heard of the singing style and arrangement, the charm is still there.

The civil officials collectively think that listening to Xiao Bai Ze singing is much better than listening to the one who always plays the wrong notes.

Gu Qian looked at Quan Yingzhang again, and this time he was even more upset.

Quan Yingzhang was actually trying to hold back his laughter!

Did his actions actually make Mr. Quan laugh?

The sound of the piano became more and more chaotic. Even many students could hear something wrong and looked at each other.

"Hmph!" Tongxin, the great scholar, could no longer bear it, and stood up, ready to leave in anger.

Turning his head, he saw Quan Yingzhang listening with great interest, and was stunned: "Xiangpu?"

- This is Quan Yingzhang's nickname.

Tongxin paused, but still couldn't control his suspicion: "You're not leaving?"

When did this man become so angry? !

Quan Yingzhang waved his hands, not even facing him: "I'll sit for a while."

Xu Yanmiao was already singing another song.

[You carry the load! I lead the horse! Welcome the sunrise! Say goodbye to the sunset~]

The voice was passionate and full of emotions.

This is more interesting than doing other things.

Tongxin was puzzled and greatly shocked.

Xiangpu wouldn't really think that thing under the tree is nice, right?

[Huh? 】

Xu Yanmiao seemed to notice something wrong in front of her, and her inner voice suddenly stopped.

According to past experience, what will happen next is probably something else.

- In other words, there will be no more songs to listen to.

Quan Yingzhang stood up, as if nothing had happened just now, and his eyes fell on Gu Qian: "Boy, let me tell you something."

Gu Qian began to stutter when he spoke: "What, what?"

Quan Yingzhang knocked the ground twice with his cane.

He did not get angry because of the other party's deception. This great scholar who is known to many people for his hot temper, is very calm at this moment: "Scholars, in terms of knowledge, fooling others is fooling themselves. You think about it carefully."

In the academy, some students were obviously lost in thought.

After seeing this, Quan Yingzhang smiled with relief. The leader of the literary world nodded to another great scholar and said, "Let's go." The

old emperor tilted his head slightly to look at Gu Qian, and found that he was obviously dissatisfied and impatient, so he couldn't help but sneer.

He turned his head and saw that Xu Yanmiao was almost about to carve the words "What is the old emperor laughing at" on his face, and his sneer turned back to amusement. He didn't intend to explain Xu Yanmiao's doubts, but only said to the ministers, "Let's go back. There's nothing good to see in this academy."

After returning to Fuzhou, the old emperor dismissed all the ministers and called the prince's four illegitimate sons and several of his own grandchildren. The old emperor described what happened today and asked them, "Do you know why Lord Quan didn't get furious?"

Someone answered, "He just follows what the crowd says. Lord Quan might not be as hot-tempered as the outside world says."

Someone answered, "Lord Quan is kind-hearted and always leaves a way out."

Someone answered, "Maybe he knew that Grandpa Xiao was present and did it for Grandpa to see."

Only the youngest child looked around at his brothers, and in the dazzling daylight, he raised his head and said, "It's because he is the leader of the literary world!"

- Quan Yingzhang would slam the table and quarrel because of academic disputes, and would get furious because he felt offended. However, as a leader in the literary world, when he saw his students going astray, instead of getting angry, he wanted to enlighten them more.

The old emperor laughed and held his grandson in his arms: "My son, my unicorn!"

Then he asked him seriously: "Then tell me, will that ordinary man Gu change?"

The grandson: "..."

Whether he will change or not, the grandson didn't know if he could make a correct inference, but he could see that you hated him.

*

The next day.

"Huh? Confucius reincarnated?!"

Xu Yanmiao's eyes were wide open with a bit of confusion. He repeated the question: "Confucius? Reincarnation?"

The nosy official invited Xu Yanmiao to dinner. At the dinner table, he couldn't wait to tell her about this matter: "Yes. It was Gu Qian, the one we listened to the piano yesterday. I heard that today was his child's full-month banquet, and he brought the child out to show the guests. Suddenly, a man dressed as a Taoist priest came and laughed and asked Gu Qian to give him the child, saying that he wanted the child to return to his old ways."

Xu Yanmiao was even more shocked.

[Gu Qian? Didn't he lose all face yesterday after being told that by Master Quan, and left the academy quickly with his face covered? Why is he still in the mood to do this today? ]

[Will anyone really buy the bill? 】

The good-natured official lowered his head and ate a mouthful of food, as if he had not heard the inner voice, and continued: "Gu Qian of course wanted to kick him out, but the one-month-old child smiled at him and shook his head, and the Taoist sighed and said: You actually chose to be reborn, and this is the only time we have in this life."

Xu Yanmiao: "..."

【Baby? Shaking head? 】

【...Ghost story? 】

The piece of spicy fish meat that the good-natured official picked up almost choked his throat, and he quickly took a sip of warm water in the cup and said: "Then Gu Qian asked what was going on. The Taoist didn't say anything at first, but later he was forced to tell him that Gu's son was the reincarnation of Confucius."

As the official spoke, he secretly observed Xu Yanmiao's expression.

——There is a reincarnation of Bai Ze, what if this is true?

The dagger was revealed, and he began to test it.

"I don't know if it's true."

"I heard that many people believed it."

This really aroused Xu Yanmiao's curiosity. He responded to the official verbally while opening the system.

[It can't be a real reincarnation? ! ]

[I was scared to death. It turned out that he was not the Taoist priest. Gu Qian also spent a lot of money to hire him. Tsk tsk, he lost face in the literary world yesterday and his reputation was half ruined, so he wanted to do such a stupid thing. ] [
