Han Ruzi returned to the palace and finally felt at ease. The 50,000 Northern Army troops could all arrive within three days. Even if they could not encircle and annihilate the Huns, they were enough to defend the city and retreat to the enemy. At least he didn't have to worry about external worries. On the other side, Cui Hong was too cautious, but in time, he could always encircle and annihilate the rebels.

Release food, select people, eliminate traitors... Next, he will start all the same.

Before going back to his room to rest, he went to meet Meng E once, but he still talked across the door, and there were no outsiders around him.

"The Huns have not arrived yet."

There was a silence in the door for a while, "I just told Your Majesty what I know."

"I understand that the Holy Military Advisor is a savage person, very insidious. He may have intentionally disclosed this news and let you out of the city, but it is useless. The large number of soldiers and generals of the Great Chu are enough to calm down internal and external troubles at the same time."

The silence in the door was a while, "It is not easy to escape from Linzi. If it was arranged, the Holy Military Advisor must have the ability to predict the future."

Han Ruzi returned to her room to rest, feeling regretful. Meng E was still one of the people he trusted the most, but her connection with the rebels was too deep and it would be difficult for her to stay by her in the future.

Since "taken bribes under the order", Nie Loach has passed on every word he heard to the emperor, especially when he thought it was useful, and he kept talking, "Miss Cui's third lady is really famous this time. Eleven men are famous children of aristocratic families, including princes and grandchildren, five dead and five injured, one in prison. Tsk tsk, who has such ability?"

"No one." Zhang Youcai said coldly, loach was just talking, and even ignored the full-time job of serving His Majesty. "You said you were six men in the morning, but now you doubled."

"This... the news is always heard little by little." Loach didn't notice the abnormality at all, and still had an excited smile on his face. "Miss Cui's third lady is amazing now. Everyone says that she is a tough life and is capable of defeating men. Those who see him will die, and those who are close to him will be unlucky..."

"Cui Teng is fine, Cui Hong is even more fine. The Cui family is quite prosperous." Zhang Youcai interrupted.

Loach was stunned and scratched his head, "I don't count my family. In short, she is a tough life. Most people can't surrender her. Is it your Majesty to be the supreme body?"

Zhang Youcai was cold-eyed. Han Ruzi smiled, then felt something was wrong and asked, "Who said this?"

"Many people say that. I'm walking around the streets, and everyone is talking about this."

Han Ruzi decided to move out of Jincheng tomorrow and live with the soldiers of the Northern Army to avoid causing more rumors, but he felt strange that this round of rumors was too fierce.

As soon as he got to bed, the sound of the piano outside came on time. These days, he fell asleep in the sound of the piano almost every night. The feeling of being so floating and ecstasy was very little, but after waking up, he became more and more addicted to it.

It was a bit strange tonight, and the sound of the piano was still melodious, but he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He always felt that the sound of the piano was too low and had to prick up his ears and listen, but the more he listened, the more he became more and more excited.

"Zhang Youcai." Han Ruzi stood up and shouted.

"Here, your majesty." A response came from the outside world immediately.

Han Ruzi originally wanted to amplify the sound of the piano, but there were many people living in the palace, and only a few people liked and enjoyed the sound of the piano. So he changed his mind and said, "Summon the piano master, father and daughter." He added a special sentence so that Zhang Youcai would only call Zhang Qinyan.

Han Ruzi clearly felt that the people around him were too concerned about some of his life. Giving women was like giving valuable medicinal materials that were hard to find in the world. The emperor was already terminally ill and needed this medicine to cure the disease.

He was very angry at first and thought it was the act of a slander minister, but in a historical book he found a reason: an emperor of the previous dynasty ascended the throne for many years without children, and was believed to be likely to shake the state. From the palace to the court, everyone tried to solve this problem. There were thousands of women who offered, invited monks to do the trick, Taoists taught the art of the room, and some ministers even made detailed suggestions to the emperor in the memorial...

The emperor today is also facing the same situation. He feels that he is still young, but his ministers hope to see the prince as soon as possible.

Han Ruzi could understand the urgency of his mother and Liu Jie and others, but he would not accept it, because the emperor of the previous dynasty did not get a son in the end. Instead, he died early in his prime in his thirties. Although it is usually hidden in history books, Han Ruzi could already understand that the emperor died of excessive indulgence.

The loach came in and lighted the lamp, laying mats and setting tables on the ground. Master Qin and his daughter arrived soon, and paid homage to the emperor and prepared to play the piano.

"Wait, I have been listening to the piano for many days, but I don't even know what the piano is. I'm sorry, Master Zhang Qin explained it to me." Han Ruzi kept marching and persuaded farmers, and it was not until today that I had the leisure to learn about Yao Qin.

Zhang Qinyan bowed his head as usual, and Zhang Zhuohe knelt on the mat and kowtowed to the emperor, and then said, "It's a blessing for the people, how much does Your Majesty know about Yaoqin?"

"I don't know anything... I know it has seven strings, and I heard that there are many taboos in playing the piano, so Master Zhang didn't see any refusal."

Zhang Zhuohe smiled and said, "The piano master is a good name. Caomin is actually a piano craftsman. He has been specializing in this art since he was a child and is only skilled in it. How can he be taboo?"

"Master Zhang Qin is too proud. If you have any taboos, just mention them. I will not force others to do anything."

Zhang Zhuohe kowtowed again, "Thank you Your Majesty to care. Caomin came from the market and worked in Guanlou and Mansion for decades, and visited famous teachers all over the world. He not only learned a craft, but also a craft."

Han Ruzi was a little interested, "Craftsmanship is playing the piano, what is the heart art?"

"Return to your heart and keep your own mind and not be moved by external things. When the grass people play the piano, they do not be happy with things or be sad with themselves. Even if they are on a cliff, if there is lightning and thunder in a house, the grass people only hear the gurgling sound of the piano. Outsiders can break the piano sound, but they cannot disturb the piano meaning. The grass people call it the heart art."

"A good skill is harder than craftsmanship."

"Your Majesty, who knows me, wants to know the two kinds of piano, craftsmanship, and heart skills. Which one is more interested in?"

Han Ruzi had heard of the "Music Sutra" and did not like Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu very much, so he said: "I wish to hear the way of heart and art."

Zhang Zhuohe stretched out his left hand and gently plucked the strings. His whole body suddenly changed. The old piano player who had been kneeling on the table before was suddenly a paradise who could compete with the emperor, with a straight waist and a calm expression.

Han Ruzi once heard the piano playing on the spot between father and daughter. She only cared about the sound of the piano at that time, but now she saw the changes in people.

"The sound comes from the heart, and the heart moves from the sound. Thousands of soldiers rise when they hear the horn, advance when they hear the drum, and retreat when they hear the metal. Although the sound is easy, the movement is very great."

Han Ruzi nodded, "The military forces in all directions all over the world use musical instruments as commandments, and there must be a reason. I do not understand the rhythm, but can be moved by empty music, which is the same."

"Your Majesty's great opinion." As soon as Zhang Zhuohe's hand left the strings, he immediately returned to the old zither who observed his words and expressions. "It still uses the soldiers as a metaphor. The drum sounds are excited. Just repeat the training, and the soldiers will feel excited when they hear the drum sound."

"Zhang Qinshi's heart is the same as this?"

"It is precisely that the drum sounds are touching, but 'repeated training' is the key. Ordinary people are moved when they hear the drum, and the sound is calm. The soldiers are excited when they hear the drum, and they are excited again. They are like climbing a peak, rising step by step, until they reach the peak, abandoning life and death, forgetting joy and sorrow, and killing the enemy with one mind. When Caomin first learned the piano, he also learned from mediocre people to set many rules, and they must burn incense and bathe, choose a quiet room to play for one or two soulmates. After that, they met a famous teacher to guide them, and put these many rules into their hearts one by one, and forget them one by one. The sound of the piano is like a soldier who hears the drum, and the sound of the piano rises again, three times, Caomin is already fighting bloody in his heart. When the voice sounds, Caomin is like a soldier who hears the gold, and the soldiers retreat, and there is no attachment."

Han Ruzi praised: "What a 'heart art', if you learn piano, you will do this in all walks of life. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. When you are in it, you will be crazy when you are in it, and when you are outside, you will be like a stranger."

Zhang Zhuhe plucked the piano several times, which was quite joyful. Zhang Qinyan also plucked the piano strings. She was a weak woman, but she played generous ambitions.

Han Ruzi was just chatting, but her interest was getting higher and higher. "Why did the only thing that affect me by the hollow music?"

"The meaning of the memorial meaning of the music of the Kongyin is the word "未". It is suitable for people and changes according to the heart. Your Majesty is the supreme, and the world is in his heart, and he is eager to do something. Therefore, when he first listens to the song, he will feel as if he ascends. Your Majesty is patrolling all the way, and all the people respect the chaos and encourage farmers to achieve success. Your Majesty's thoughts gradually stabilize. When you listen to this song again, you should be moved and calm down. Ordinary people do not have the ambition of Your Majesty, and naturally they do not have the state of mind of Your Majesty."

Han Ruzi felt that she should have talked to Zhang Zhuohe for a long time.

"In this way, the hollow music has not changed, but my mood has changed."

"Everything changes will never leave the sect, and they are all the same as the word "empty". Please listen to this song again."

The Zhang father and daughter play the piano at the same time.

Han Ruzi intentionally relaxed his mind. After listening for a while, he gradually realized that his thoughts were solemn but not heavy. It was a kind of confidence that he was sure to win, and he liked it very much.

Because of this, he felt angry when the sound of the piano was interrupted.

"I want to see Your Majesty! I know Your Majesty is not sleeping yet, and it is delayed by major issues. Can you bear the responsibility?"

The Zhang father and daughter can only stop.

"Let him come in." Han Ruzi said loudly.

Cui Teng entered the house with a smile and said to Zhang Youcai who followed in: "I told you a long time ago... Oh, Master Zhang Qin is here too, Miss Qinyan is fine. Your Majesty has really leisurely and ambition. He doesn't call me to listen to music at night. It's interesting to listen to music while drinking..."

"Cui Teng, what's wrong with you?" Han Ruzi asked, his anger gradually dissipated. For him, this was also a "heart art". He should retreat when he heard Cui Teng's noise.

Cui Teng saw Zhang Zhuohe also, so he felt relieved. He stepped forward a few steps and said, "I just remembered that the seventh day of next month is the queen's birthday. Is Your Majesty ready? My sister cares about this kind of thing..."

"The Queen's birthday is May 15th, and there is more than a month left." Han Ruzi said coldly.

Cui Teng slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory, I remembered it wrongly. Whose birthday will be next day seven?"

"Cui Teng, are you drinking too much again?"

"No, I didn't drink a single drink today." Cui Teng was a little scared and said in a hurry: "Actually, I came here to suggest that Your Majesty inspect the city wall."

"Why?"

"Because...the Huns might come." Cui Teng said seriously, unable to think of any other reason.

Han Ruzi stared at Cui Teng for a while, "Okay, go and prepare horses and patrol the city with me."

Cui Teng regretted it. If he had known this, he should have made other excuses. But after glanced at Zhang Qinyan who was bowing his head, he felt it was worth it, "Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go now..."

Cui Teng ran out, Master Qin's daughter also said goodbye. After seeing him off, Zhang Youcai came back and said, "Your Majesty really want to go patrol the city?"

"Anyway, I can't sleep. When the Northern Army first arrived, the main force was still on the road, so I was indeed a little worried."

Zhang Youcai scolded Cui Teng in his heart, and after many guards got up, they also blamed Cui Teng.

Cui Teng himself didn't know that, so he happily rode a horse to accompany the emperor out of the palace and climbed the city wall. The King of Donghai did not follow him, which made him even more happy.

Everyone still didn't know that Cui Teng made great contributions tonight (To be continued.)
