From a freeloader to a world leader

Chapter 191: 1 Song of God

This short, sudden alliance song and dance festival in Zhangshu Hutong has far-reaching significance.

It not only records the blood-drinking brotherhood between Sun Shan and Chen Kun, but also enables him to enter the eyes of the real powerful people in the empire at a faster and higher speed.

Before, most people thought that he was just a gigolo who used his good looks and sweet words to please the King Heng and his daughter.

With the blessing of Chen Kun, the eldest son of the Chen family, one of the four great families of the Sui Empire, they formed an alliance of brothers by drinking blood.

It makes people realize more deeply that it might be Sun Shan's own ability that made Chen Kun, who was already a sixth-rank official and had already stepped into the threshold of middle-level officialdom, swallow his pride and become sworn brothers with him, a scholar who did not even have the time to go to school.

Moreover, the song "A Laugh in the Sea" that night, both the lyrics and the melody, as well as his legendary performance of both singing and swordplay that ended with Wuhua.

All of these helped Sun Shan to gain a firm foothold and take the crown of the music world in the Sui Empire.

Everyone openly acknowledges that Sun Shan is the king of today's music scene and the eternal singing god of the current music scene!

Even Yang Yuanfeng, the Emperor of the Sui Empire, who was thousands of miles away, received the detailed information sent by the Embroidered Uniform Guard via an express delivery of 800 miles on the afternoon of the third day.

In fact, during the month that Sun Shan was comatose, the Jinyiwei had basically collected all the information about Sun Shan's actions.

It was sent back to the imperial capital like a play, so that the increasingly depressed Emperor Yuanfeng could read it to relieve his boredom.

Of course, if he wasn’t someone close to Sun Shan.

Anyone who knows or has seen Sun Shan’s development trajectory in just three or four months, can he not say that this is a drama and a dream?

"Ha ha------"

Yang Yuanqing watched and slapped his thigh happily: "This kid is amazing! I didn't expect that not only does he sing well, but his martial arts are also so strong. He can pierce five flowers with one sword. It's really rare!"

"Father, are you talking about the scholar in the mountains?"

Yang Kewei saw her father, who had always been frowning, slap his thigh with joy after reading a secret letter. She couldn't help but move closer and asked, "Does he really have martial arts? He is studying and doing business, where does he have time to practice martial arts?"

"how could I know?"

Yang Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows, and seeing his daughter approaching, he simply handed her the secret document he had already read: "See for yourself, this kid is incredible!"

Queen Qian Ruyu, one of Sun Shan's fans, has always been paying attention to Sun Shan's movements. During these days, she learned many details about Sun Shan from the secret reports sent by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

I became more and more curious.

"Your Majesty, if this scholar from the mountains really becomes Ke Xin's consort, he would be too talented."

Yang Yuanfeng frowned when he heard the sound, but said nothing.

This has been the old custom of the Sui Empire for two or three hundred years.

At first, they were just afraid that after the daughters of the royal family got married, the princes-in-law would become officials and might look down on the princesses and princesses.

Only in this way can their entry into officialdom be controlled to a limited extent.

But it is not completely blocked.

Some princes-in-law with good backgrounds and abilities can still appropriately join the royal family and consolidate the royal family's status.

However, as the royal family grew larger and larger, the number of its own children increased, and it became increasingly difficult to take care of these peripheral forces of the royal family.

In particular, the powerful class represented by the four wealthy families, in order to control the royal family and suppress the imperial power, targeted the princes-in-law and completely blocked them from the officialdom of the Sui Empire.

They even took control of the Imperial Household Department, which managed the royal family, and controlled the married lives of the princesses and princesses through maids at all levels.

The women of the royal family had to bribe them before they could even meet their princes-in-law.

As a result, the princesses of the Sui Empire quickly became the sour apples in the eyes of the young talents of the empire - pretty but useless!

Gradually it became a useless existence.

This made the royal parents and royal women extremely miserable.

Qian Ruyu and Yang Yuanfeng had been married for more than 20 years, so they naturally understood his thoughts very well. Qian Ruyu sighed and continued, "This mountain scholar is both civil and military, and he is an outstanding figure in every aspect. It would be a waste if he were to become a local businessman!"

Yang Kewei, who was watching with great interest, felt the same way. She took over her mother's words and interrupted, "Yes, father, didn't you see that Chen Kun from the Chen family became his sworn brother and even swore an alliance by drinking blood-----"

As he spoke, he pointed at the secret memorial and exclaimed in astonishment, "He is already a sixth-rank official, yet he dragged a scholar from the mountains to sing and dance in the middle of the night, and finally, he had servants carry him back at night. Isn't this too funny?"

Qian Ruyu, who hadn't read the secret report yet, didn't know about this and was even more surprised: "Is Kewei talking about the third child of the Chen family in Linzhou? I heard that he is a very steady child, how could he be so reckless?"

Yang Kewei, who had already quickly read it, saw that her mother didn't quite believe it.

He happily walked to his mother's side and handed the secret letter to Qian Ruyu.

Yang Yuanqing would usually treat secret memorials like these about interesting folk stories as a way to pass the time in the deep palace after finishing his official business.

After Qian Ruyu quickly glanced through it, he raised his head and looked at Yang Yuanfeng in surprise: "Your Majesty, this matter can be big or small-----"

"Ok, I know."

Yang Yuanfeng finally spoke, nodded and said: "This kid is a monster. From the rich and powerful to the common people, no one has anything bad to say about him."

"What's so strange about this------"

Yang Kewei, who is already 13 or 14 years old and already has a little feminine charm, cutely stuck out her pink tongue and said, "I heard that he is very handsome and talented. Every time he sings a song, it becomes a sensation across the country. Who wouldn't like him?"

Yang Yuanfeng's heart trembled slightly after hearing this, and he pretended not to care and asked back: "Kewei, do you like it?"

"I like it-----"

Yang Kewei responded quickly subconsciously.

Then, she instantly realized that as a woman of the royal family, how could she just say that she liked someone?

This is a very shy behavior. She immediately blushed and waved her hands: "I just like his songs and the music he wrote------"

This scene made Yang Yuanfeng laugh again: "I didn't say you like him, Ke Wei, do you need to explain?"

Yang Kewei, who was just beginning to fall in love, was so embarrassed by these words that she could no longer sit still. She blushed and rolled her eyes at Yang Yuanfeng: "Father, I won't talk to you anymore. You keep talking nonsense-----"

Then, he ran deep into the palace.

Qian Ruyu looked at her daughter's slim back as she ran, and at Yang Yuanfeng's squinting eyes.

Thinking of the fact that in three or four years, her daughter would most likely not have a happy marriage, she sighed, "Your Majesty, why are you teasing Kewei for no reason? How many more years can this child stay in the palace? By then, she will still be------"

As she spoke, Qian Ruyu's eyes welled up with tears of heartache.

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Yang Yuanfeng naturally felt very distressed about his daughter, who was the closest to him and whom he loved the most.

He returned to reality from his joyful expression, thinking of the relationship between Prince Heng and Sun Shan, and said through gritted teeth: "It's too early to tell what will happen in the future!"

"It's still early? But Wei is already fourteen after the New Year-----"

Qian Ruyu held back her tears in anger and amusement. She looked at Yang Yuanfeng and felt a little strange. She couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have any other ideas that you can't arrange?"

Yang Yuanfeng smiled and did not answer. Instead, he talked about the matter between Prince Heng and Sun Shan: "Why do you think Yuanqing is not sure about the relationship between Ke Xin and Sun Shan?"

After hearing this, Qian Ruyu was stunned again.

She has been studying Sun Shan a lot these days.

"Didn't you say that Yuanqing wanted to wait until Sun Shan passed the imperial examination so that he could have a certain status that matched him------"

"no!"

Yang Yuanfeng interrupted Qian Ruyu before she finished speaking: "With Sun Shan's current wealth and future prospects, he is already a good match for Ke Xin, and their relationship is already so close, so why don't you think Yuan Qing break through this layer of paper?"

These words made Qian Ruyu fall into deep thought.

Countless thoughts ran through my mind.
