Three hundred musicians played in unison, and the momentum was magnificent. King Xuan was very satisfied. Mr. Nanguo was also good at flattery, and was praised by xuanwang. but it didn't last long. King Xuan of Qi died and he succeeded. Xinwang liked to listen to solos, so Lezheng recommended Mr. Nanguo to perform.
