He Kui.

This name may not be very famous in Luoyang, but when he was in Chang'an, his reputation was almost everywhere.

He is one of the six surnames in Chang'an, and his status is second only to that of the Feng family.

He Kui lost his mother when he was young and was unrestrained when he was young - calligraphy, parallel essays, tea tasting, and prostitutes... all of them were good. He was dressed in a fancy dress and was a famous playboy in Chang'an City.

But what really made him famous was his piano skills.

He Kui is a genius zither who is rare in a century. According to rumors, when he was playing the zither in the mountains, the white crane whirls, the tiger ponders, and its sound and color are like a chorus singing in the world.

When he was seventeen, his father was infected with a serious illness and passed away in just a few days. As a result, on the day his father was in funeral, he was delayed by getting drunk with his friends in the flower building. From then on, he was removed from the clan by the He family.

However, he was the only son in the family. His parents left behind hundreds of acres of fertile land and countless manors inside and outside the city. Living on such a mountain of gold and silver, He Kui was afraid of delisting - except for his name, there was no old person to care about him from now on.

At the age of nineteen, He Kui got married and had his first son the following year. He was one of the few people who could understand He Kui's depression. The couple was very loving, playing and having fun in the same place, and their lives gradually became warm and peaceful.

However, the two of them occasionally had a conflict - He's wife had a stupid brother, and the brother-sister relationship was very good. Even if He's wife was married, she often went home to visit her. She had to stay for two or three days every time she returned home. He Kui complained about this many times.

In a flash, he reached middle age. He Kui thought that his life would probably pass by so peacefully, but he didn't know that God had made a big joke with him at this time.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 14th year of Chengping, when He Kui and his wife returned to their parents' home to live together, the two of them had an argument over some trivial matters.

He Kui and his wife teased and sarcastically, just like they quarrels in the past many years, and they pulled back and forth to He's wife spent too much time taking care of the stupid brother.

However, what neither of them expected was that every word they said was heard by the concubine's sister who was the wife. The next morning, the two of them had a quarrel written in documents that night and sent to court anonymously.

——You must know that the female emperor of the dynasty, Sun Youwei, was the favorite emperor of the late emperor, and later became able to ascend the throne because her brother was weak and sickly after ascending the throne, so many things were entrusted to Sun Youwei for handling.

As a result, Sun Youwei not only handled the government affairs of his brother's previous dynasty, but also dealt with the harem together. Until her royal brother died, none of them successfully gave birth to a prince in the harem.

But He Kui was furious and casually said, "You take care of your stupid brother like this. Can he still leave a throne for you if he dies?"

The people from the yamen received the report and did not dare to decide without authorization, so they just asked for instructions one by one.

If it were in normal times, Sun Youwei would still have the strength to accommodate these criticisms from the public.

She knew that such rumors were getting worse and worse. In addition to solving some extremely bad-influenced typical examples when necessary, she never pursued other chats after dinner. Even if someone reported them, she would just smile.

But in the autumn of the 14th year of Chengping, it was when the cabinet chief was leading all the ministers to take a hunger strike outside the Zichen Hall. Sun Youwei's anger that had endured for many days was suddenly detonated at that time, and he gave an unprecedented heavy punishment - the destruction of the three tribes of He Kui.

Since He Kui has been removed from the He family's genealogy, he will not be able to implicate the people in his family according to the Great Zhou law. Instead, his wife and family were implicated. Only then did the concubine regret it and confess that he had evil thoughts because he hated his sister for being harmonious after marriage.

He Kui and his wife were in amazement and hatred, and then he realized that the so-called "God's will" could reach such a point.

On the day of execution, He Kui's uncle could not bear his nephew and risked his life to Taichu Palace to plead with Sun Youwei. After tears in his eyes, He Bo finally asked for a life-saving imperial edict from Sun Youwei, changing He Kui and his three sons from beheading to exiling to the border, and the rest were beheaded without mercy.

He Kui was unwilling to live alone, but he could not withstand the mercy of his wife on the execution ground. At that time, the youngest child of the two was only four years old and without his father's care, how could he survive the various ups and downs of the Southwest Shu Road?

But things didn't go as expected. It is said that He Kui's three children died in the territory due to the epidemic.

Feng Yan heard the story of the piano master He Kui when she was a child from Li.

Every time, Li warned her to be cautious in words and actions, and to be cautious in words and actions. At the beginning, just a word of unintentional conflict would eventually turn into such a tragic separation of life and death, which no one could have expected.

"It's him..." Feng Yan was shocked, "No wonder."

No wonder Yin Shiyun said that the score of "Hundred Six Yang Jiu" may have been found.

Before He Kui left Chang'an, the He family knew that he had always loved to caress the piano, so they secretly asked someone to send him a guqin to him in prison, hoping to relieve his loneliness on the way.

Before getting on the prison cart, He Kui played a song "Hundred Six Yang Nine" by the Luo River.

The sound of the piano was so sad that the disasters in the world were impermanent and the desolation and desolation of the rest of their lives were all... Everyone present wept and shed tears.

At the end of the song, He Kui threw the piano vigorously, and the strings were cut off. He also vowed not to play the piano for life.

"Have Your Majesty pardoned him?" Feng Yan asked.

"Yes." Wei Xingzhen nodded, "Last year, Mr. He's uncle passed away. Before his death, he asked His Majesty to release He Kui back to Chang'an. His Majesty was right. It happened that Di Yang met this person while traveling in Shu in the early years, so he simply wrote a letter to propose to pick him up to Luoyang. Anyway, Mr. He's houses in Chang'an have long disappeared."

Feng Yan couldn't help but sigh again, "I lost my father when I was young, my wife when I was middle-aged, and my son when I was old, if this is the case with Mr. He..."

She originally wanted to say that if He Kui played "Hundred Six Yang Jiu" again, it would probably be a real world masterpiece, but she realized that such words would be too cold - after all, it would be a life full of blood and tears, but the first thing she thought of was the music score.

"What if it is?" Wei Xingzhen asked.

Feng Yan shook her head, "I remember Mr. He was born in Jingming in the 14th year. So far... he should be fifty-four years old, right?"

Wei Xingzhen nodded again, "Does A Yan want to see him?"

Feng Yan thought for a long time, "...I don't want to, but I don't want to."

"So do you want to, or don't?"

Feng Yan smiled, "If Lord Wei has the opportunity to recommend it, I will be fine if I take a look at this person from a distance. When I really meet, I don't know what to say to others..."

"Okay," Wei Xingzhen whispered, "Then wait for Di Yang to come back."

Feng Yan looked at Wei Xingzhen.

"...Why does Ayan look at me like this?"

"The life of the eldest princess and Taiwei Xue is only in the evening. Lord Wei still wants to talk to me about these things... I think you should be confident about solving the problem of "unreasonable sleepiness."

Wei Xingzhen was about to speak, but he faintly realized that Feng Yan seemed to have some hints in her words, and she pondered for a moment.

"Mr. Wei... is really a secret." Feng Yan gently shook the water from the tea spoon, "I remember you said you would check the origin of the tree demon that climbed around Mingtang... I don't know how it is now."

Wei Xingzhen then remembered this incident, "Well... there are a lot of things happening these two days, so I haven't taken care of it for the time being."

Feng Yan smiled again.

"When Lord Ji came in the daytime, he asked me, the tree demon was obviously very good at doing things, so why did I not take action until you came."

She said as she turned off the stove and threw the residue of the tea into the small bamboo basket beside her.

"Does Lord Wei know why?"

Seeing Wei Xingzhen frowning and not answering, Feng Yan continued, "Because I have never encountered a monster who hates me so deeply. They are sometimes afraid, sometimes excited, and sometimes reveal their contempt and disgust for people... But this is the first time I have experienced such a strong hatred in a tree demon."

Feng Yan raised her head, "Do you know what she said to me before her demonic essence dissipates."

Wei Xingzhen didn't say anything, sat aside and listened quietly.

"She said that she would never let me hurt Lord Wei."

Wei Xingzhen was stunned for a moment.

Feng Yan stared into Wei Xingzhen's eyes.
