Want to win the palace fight? Better to be crazy than to be idiotic!

The Queen Mother didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Qin Feng'an bowed and said, "Mother, please don't blame the Imperial Concubine. She has good intentions. She is indeed guilty of ignorance. She didn't know that the imperial harem forbids the use of military music and sword dancing. She just heard me talk about the sword dance of Gongsun from Jiangnan a few days ago, which was famous all over the world. But people outside the palace should not be invited into the palace, so the Imperial Concubine imitated it herself to open my eyes."

"Your Highness keeps saying that the Imperial Concubine is ignorant, but he is actually excusing her and ignoring the great sin of cursing our dynasty!" The Queen Mother smiled coldly, "Do you know what song she ordered the musicians to play?"

Isn't it just "Breaking the Formation"? What's the big deal?

Qin Feng'an was dismissive of the Queen Mother's ostentation.

On the surface, Qin Feng'an followed the Queen Mother's words and continued: "I don't know, I only know that this song is to boost the morale of our army. I hope the Queen Mother can teach me the rest."

"I can't say I'm giving you advice, but if this 'Breaking the Formation' was just an ordinary military music, it would be fine." The Queen Mother raised her eyes slightly, and Han Shuang slowed down the rhythm of kneading her shoulders. "Ordinary military music is passionate and has the effect of boosting the morale of the soldiers. When it is played before our army charges, how can it have such a strong sense of blood and murder?"

There are all kinds of military music. What's so strange about that?

Qin Feng'an still didn't take it seriously and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This song has been circulated among the generals for a long time, and I have also heard of it. If it didn't come from a legitimate source, how could it be praised by so many people?"

"I wouldn't say it's ill-gotten, it's just a song of revenge!"

The Queen Mother's tone suddenly became cold and stern.

"Often only when the country is destroyed and the family is ruined, and the battle is a last-ditch effort, will the soldiers have the same determination to die as in the song! Our dynasty is now in a good situation and is more than rich. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and civil wars are all over the world. What is the intention of Concubine Jia in choosing this song!"

Qin Feng'an was shocked. He resisted the urge to look back at Wu Jiayan's expression and answered for her: "I'm sure Concubine Jia doesn't know the reason..."

However, he said this with a guilty conscience, and the Queen Mother also heard the vagueness in his words and knew that he was indeed shaken.

"If Concubine Jia doesn't know the reason, I will tell her!"

The Queen Mother's words were like a freezing cold wind, cold and hard, and every word was like a sharp blade piercing people's hearts.

She sat in the seat that originally belonged to the emperor, staring down at Wu Jiayan, and said word by word:

"This song originated from the most tragic battle between our great ancient country and Fan Xie during the hundreds of years of tug-of-war - the Battle of Dingting. About four hundred years ago, our dynasty and Fan Xie had constant border conflicts. The ancient Ming Emperor was eager to achieve success, so he assigned all the soldiers to guard the border, leaving the Central Plains empty, which led to Fan Xie's spies secretly manipulating people with ulterior motives to stir up civil strife, and eventually they attacked the imperial city and directly attacked the palace."

Qin Feng'an has read this period of history. The whole palace was in chaos, blood flowed like a river, and Emperor Minghuang almost hanged himself with a white silk scarf.

The Queen Mother continued, "At that time, the traitors killed innocent people indiscriminately in the palace, and the corpses were everywhere. The palace servants fought one after another, just for the emperor to escape. In the end, they all turned into cold corpses, hanging on the tips of the invaders' knives. The blood flowing under their feet merged into a gurgling stream, pouring into every inch of the land in the palace, nourishing the flowers and plants so lush and flourishing in the future."

"However, in the following ten years or so, no matter how the gardeners worked on the land, the flowers of all the trees were as red as blood, and no other colors could be found."

In the meeting hall, the concubines turned pale. Few people like to read ancient books like Lin Xiuqing, and this past is not glorious, so few people know about it. After hearing what the Queen Mother said today, they knew that such a tragic tragedy had happened in the palace they were in.

Su Feiran inexplicably thought of the red crabapples in the Chitang Garden, and then shook his head, thinking that this was just an unreasonable association.

"In the end, it was the Empress at the time who died admonishing the Emperor to not abandon the country. They held out until reinforcements arrived and began to eliminate the traitors from the periphery, and only then did they quell the chaos in the palace. But most of the traitors fled, and the blood debt was not paid with blood." The Queen Mother said quietly, "Although the foundation of the ancient dynasty was barely saved, the lives lost could not be restored. The ancient Ming Emperor did not let the ancient dynasty fall, but he eventually made a big mistake and developed a heart disease. He immediately passed the throne to the prince and passed away the next year."

"But this battle was the last disastrous defeat in the many years of fighting between the ancient dynasty and Fan Xie," said Qin Feng'an.

"That's right." The Queen Mother nodded, "Don't you know this very well?"

Qin Fengan asked: "What does this have to do with "Breaking the Formation"?"

"Do you know which formation is being broken by the so-called 'Breaking the Formation'?" asked the Queen Mother.

"......" Qin Feng'an was silent for a long time, and then he answered after thinking it through, "The formation of the traitors to destroy the palace."

"That's right." The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "This is the song of revenge that they sang when they saw the imperial palace being ravaged by thieves and everywhere was a sea of ​​blood and mountains of corpses, and they put their lives at risk and threw themselves at the enemy with their flesh and blood."

The concubines were horrified. This was not a song of revenge, but a song of death! If the emperor dared to issue an order in person, and let his loyal subordinates take the lead, while he himself ran away on the river of blood of millions of people, no one would be willing to obey him even if he returned in the future.

After the Queen Mother explained this, they finally understood why she was unhappy when she heard this song. This song is unlucky! Concubine Jia was really ignorant to perform this song!

Concubine Jia was so ridiculous! If she knew the origin of this song and chose it to decorate the sword dance, she would probably curse the ancient dynasty to suffer another civil strife and the palace to be bloodbathed by thieves again!

Wu Jiayan's face turned pale. She knelt down and apologized, "I don't know the meaning of this song. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."

Qin Fengan opened his mouth. He wanted to defend Wu Jiayan, but he didn't know where to start.

Did Wu Jiayan really not know? Not necessarily.

She has always been cautious and has never made any mistakes in her years in charge of the harem. Now she is wearing a red dress, holding a long sword, and specifically asking the court musicians to play this song. Is it really out of ignorance?

What does she mean? What message does she want to convey through this song?

A hint of doubt flashed across Qin Fengan's eyes.

He turned his head to look at Wu Jiayan who was kneeling on the ground. Her face was pale and she looked terrified, as if she really didn't know the truth.

If she really had the courage to choose this song, she should have thought that it would bring trouble to herself. Why couldn't she come up with an excuse to refute it?

Qin Feng calmed down and bet that Wu Jiayan didn't know.

"Mother, please, for the sake of your son, don't blame Concubine Jia."

Qin Fengan paused for a moment, and finally decided to stand up and protect Wu Jiayan.

"It was I who insisted on watching the sword dance on the battlefield. It has nothing to do with the concubine."
