Chapter 170: The genius of heaven caught her off guard
The main hall was silent at this time, so Mutipo's question seemed louder, so that many literati who were good at chess became a little angry!
“Xie Langjun used blind chess skills to fight against Zu Zhongshu, but he was also able to play the chess strategy of rushing out pieces, and the chess skills of Chu Yin and Xuan Pao. Such superb chess skills, even if they cannot be classified as the highest state of trance, But it’s also time to sit and take photos!”
The nine grades of Go are divided from high to low: entrance, sitting, concrete, secluded, using wisdom, compact, fighting, foolish, and clumsy.
Sitting in the photo is the second level. Chess players can easily respond to it and get it without thinking!
Not to mention the state of trance, it is the state of sitting in the second level. Very few people in this world can reach such a state, let alone the evaluation of "Cui Yin Xuan Pao"!
"Mother, what is Chuyinxuanpao?" Mutiva asked Lu Lingxuan in embarrassment.
Lu Lingxuan replied: "It is an intrusion tactic. After the opponent has established its position, the chess player directly enters the opponent's camp, goes deep alone, and tears apart the enemy's formation. It is also an extremely sharp attack tactic!"
After saying this, even her own heart skipped a beat, as if she thought of something, and then she cast her disbelieving and suspicious eyes on "Xie Zhen" who was taking off the blindfolded silk veil in the palace!
"Zu Zhongshu, I see in this chess game that you are not completely defeated. Why did you admit defeat?" At this time, Grand Tutor Gao Guiyan also stood up and asked.
Zu Jue sighed sincerely and explained: "Even though Xie Langjun responded with blind chess, Zu tried his best. Although it was a tie in the end, in fact, I, Zu, lost!"
"Such chess skills are truly top-notch! My ancestor Jue is willing to be defeated!"
Hearing Zu Jue's heartfelt admission of defeat, both King Lanling and Li Mi, who was beside the emperor in the palace, let out a long, almost unnoticeable sigh of relief!
The monk's face showed a look of despair and panic. He turned to Gao Zhan and saw Gao Zhan looking at Xie Zhen with indescribable admiration.
"I don't know who Xie Langjun learned from, but it's really unbelievable how his chess skills reached such a level at such a young age!"
Zu Jue asked curiously.
Xiao Jinyu smiled and said: "A deceased person!"
"Chen Qingzhi!"
Chen Qingzhi!
Is it the Chen Qingzhi who often played chess with Emperor Wu Xiao Yan all night long during the Southern Liang Dynasty, working tirelessly and gaining the respect of Emperor Liang with his superb chess skills?
Is it the Chen Qingzhi who led the Northern Expedition in his forties and created the legend of annihilating 500,000 enemies with 7,000 white-robed soldiers and conquering Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty in one fell swoop?
Famous teachers and generals should not keep themselves in prison, and thousands of troops should avoid white robes!
This is a genius who truly applies chess skills to military strategy!
This young man actually said that he learned his chess skills from Chen Qingzhi?
"Don't be ridiculous, Xie Langjun. General Chen has been dead for many years. You were not even born when he died, right?"
Zu Jue thought she was joking.
Xiao Jinyu disagreed and smiled: "Then just think I'm joking!"
Although her tone was smiling, there was no smile on her face. Although Chen Qingzhi was not her teacher in her previous life, she had regarded him as her teacher in many games with him, and her skills in reviewing chess games and blind chess were also there. It was slowly honed by talking to his hands.
"This Xie Zhen is truly a genius. His talent for debate and argumentation from the elegant gatherings on Fahua Mountain in the Southern Dynasties should not be in vain. Such chess skills and chess skills are really convincing!"
"Indeed, if I get to see Chu Yin Xuan Pao's chess skills today, my life will not be wasted!"
Chu Yin's chess skills were listed as one of the "Five Excellent Skills" by Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty during the Southern Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, in the end, his father was involved in the political whirlpool and was sentenced to death. Although Chu Yin petitioned He Shangzhi for help, He saved his life, but since then his chess career has died, and his original technique of "Cui Yin Xuan Cannon" has become an unknown legend!
Chu Yin hangs the cannon!
Amidst the continuous exclamations of everyone, Gao Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for his talent!
After being silent for a long time, he quietly asked He Shikai and Li Mi beside him: "In your opinion, for such a genius, what kind of official position should I give him?"
"Your Majesty, isn't the competition over yet? This is just a chess competition!" He Shi said with a smile.
Li Mi glanced at He Shikai coldly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I heard that the post of Zhongshu Sheren was vacant, but I don't know..."
"Who said that the post of Zhongshu Sheren is vacant? Isn't that Xin Deyuan a human? Although he has taken a leave of absence to attend weddings at home in the past few days!" He Shikai said.
Li Mi was too lazy to pay attention to him, and only said seriously in Gao Zhan's ear: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. The people of Xinshe have been holding weddings at home these past few days. They have taken in several concubines in a row. Last night, they even spent the whole night together. The third girl may be too excited and a little bit... Your Majesty, you should understand!"
Gao Zhan didn't know what he was thinking, so he just asked:
"What does it mean to be upset?"
"The mouth is crooked, the eyes are slanted, the whole body is shaking, and drooling. In short, the appearance and demeanor are extremely ugly and unsightly!"
After saying one sentence, He Shi almost had his mouth watering!
Lu Lingxuan on the side looked at Li Mi in horror, and then turned her gaze to "Xie Zhen".
At this time, Li Mi didn't care what the two people's reactions were, but he looked at Gao Zhan very seriously and explained, "I live near Xin Mansion, so I know that this happened last night. I heard that Early this morning, the people from the Xin Mansion submitted their resignations to the Ministry of Civil Affairs! "
Gao Zhan didn't know what to say for a moment, and the expression on his face was very strange!
He Shikai seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly pointed at Li Mi and shouted: "Li Yonghe, this matter is your fault..."
"What are you doing? You're so loud that it scares His Majesty!" Li Mi quickly interrupted.
He Shikai noticed that Gao Zhan was indeed a little impatient, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "I deserve to die, but I don't believe that people from Xinshe will suddenly get this strange disease. There must be something fishy about this matter! Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
Lu Lingxuan also wanted to stand up and speak, but Gao Zhan actually waved his hand and said: "If you are sick, just be sick. Xin Deyuan is not required to do this. Since he has submitted his resignation, the matter will be dropped. After two days, Let’s see if his condition improves in the future, just go and take a look for me!”
Lu Lingxuan's face darkened, and He Shikai nodded and replied, "Yes!"
"It's late today. The talent test will continue tomorrow. All the ministers, please go back!"
A chess competition took half a day, but no one of the scholars present felt that the time was long. Such a hearty chess game was unique in the world, and may not be seen again in the future!
"It's really like playing blind chess! You haven't seen such a scene with your own eyes. It's more powerful than fighting on the battlefield. It's so enjoyable!"
"Yes! This Xie Zhen is really a genius, and he is well-deserved!"
"His reputation as a debater has spread throughout the Southern Dynasties, and his chess skills have shocked the Qi court. I wonder how many surprises there will be in the future?"
Lu Lingxuan's face turned livid when she heard the rumors spread outside. This was the first time that Mutipo saw so much anger and helplessness on her mother's face.
"What happened to Xin Deyuan?" she asked.
A craftsman who went to inquire about the news and came back replied: "There was a concubine in his house who fell out of favor and wanted to regain his favor. She used too much Five Stone Powder. Maybe the Five Stone Powder was used too hard." Some, so the Xinshe people... became like that!"
"A concubine who has fallen out of favor... ha..." Lu Lingxuan laughed disapprovingly, "I'm afraid this concubine is just a chess piece being used by others! Can you use the Five Stone Powder to test it?"
The woman in charge lowered her head in shame: "No, the Five Stone Powder has been taken by the Xinshe people, and this concubine was also killed by the mistress of the Xin Mansion for seducing her husband!"
With a "pop" sound, Lu Lingxuan slapped her palm on the table, as if she was trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart, and then managed to keep her calm face. "What a move, Chu Yin Xuan Pao! Did he play this move for me to see? He took advantage of my unpreparedness and penetrated deep into our camp, and he broke one of my wings so quietly!"
Mutiva was still a little confused after hearing this, and asked in confusion: "Mother, you said that Xie Zhen played that game of chess specifically for my mother to see? How could he be so good..."
"Then tell me, why did Xin Deyuan not have a stroke earlier or later, but just when Xie Zhen walked up to His Majesty the Tai Chi Hall and was appreciated by His Majesty for his chess skills, he had a stroke?"
"What mother means is that they... actually planned this situation a long time ago and set it up specifically for us?"
"Yes! It seems that they want to place their own people beside His Majesty! And this Xie Zhen is the best candidate!"
Thinking about this, Lu Lingxuan asked again: "Where are the people you captured from Yecheng Station?"
Mutiva brought Lu Lingxuan to a dark and cramped secret cell. Inside, there were seven or eight boys of about eleven or twelve years old, some dressed as businessmen, and some dressed in rags as beggars. All of them looked frightened. He looked at the woman in gorgeous clothes with a high bun outside the iron gate.
Lu Lingxuan glanced at each boy's face one by one, suddenly gritted her teeth, turned around, and slapped Muti Po on the face!
Mutipo was a little dazed after being beaten. She looked at Lu Lingxuan aggrievedly and shouted: "Mother!"
"Do you think Prince Lanling and his concubine are that stupid? They would let Murong Jue dress up as a child? Since they are trying to hide their identity from others, they must change their identities to something you wouldn't expect!"
"What's more, there is Xie Zhen now..."
When it comes to Xie Zhen, Lu Lingxuan can be described as gnashing her teeth in hatred!
"How many people have walked out of Yecheng Station in the past two days?"
Mutipo hurriedly called the spies over to ask, and the spies replied: "There are old people, women, and children...most of them are merchants, and there are also sergeants transporting grain and grass...but it's not the army of King Lanling, but Gao Rui, the king of Zhaojun." of……"
Gao Rui, the king of Zhaojun, is now the agent for Bingzhou affairs, and because of his outstanding achievements, he has been promoted to the ministerial order. It is not surprising that he sends people to transport grain and grass to Bingzhou.
And it is not surprising that King Lanling used his relationship with Prince Zhao to place a boy among the sergeants transporting grain!
Lu Lingxuan was full of doubts. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible. She was so angry that she raised her palm again, but before the slap could be delivered, Mutiva had already lowered her head and curled up into a ball.
"There is no need to look for this Murong Jue anymore. Xu has followed Prince Zhao's army out of the city a long time ago. I have also let these children go!"
"Mom...are you going to just let me go without interrogating me?"
"What can a group of ignorant children find out through interrogation?"
Lu Lingxuan yelled, flicking his sleeves and striding towards the corridor ahead. Mutipo ordered the Chang Shi next to him to let them go quickly, and followed his footsteps out of the secret prison!
"Our biggest enemy now is Xie Zhen, the staff member of King Lanling. If we can prevent this Xie Zhen from becoming an official, or simply kill him, we can also break the arm of King Lanling and his princess!"
After saying that, Lu Lingxuan looked at Mutipo, "So the top priority is to find a way to kill this Xie Zhen!"
"Let's leave this matter to Gao Anahu. It will also give him an opportunity to make meritorious deeds on his behalf!"
"Yes! Mother!"
…
In Prince Lanling's palace, Xiao Jinyu had changed into women's clothes after bathing, and was sitting next to the chessboard, holding a book and reading it carefully.
It was getting late, and the afterglow of the setting sun was smeared on her fair and clear cheeks. Her pure white clothes made her look like a fox banished to an immortal.
The white and black chess pieces on the chessboard were in a confrontation. She was reading so seriously that she didn't even notice that Prince Lanling walked behind her.
Still feeling warmth on her waist, and a warm embrace behind her, she raised her head slightly and looked up and back, just in time to meet Gao Changgong's doting starry eyes.
"Chang Gong——" she called with a slight smile.
But I heard him ask, "Ayu, why do I feel like it's unreal?"
"Why is it not true?" Xiao Jinyu asked with a smile.
Gao Changgong said casually: "I always feel that you are an extraordinary person, Ayu, how can you know so many things, and do everything better than anyone else? Now people outside say that Xie Zhen is a genius, sometimes even I don't know Can you believe that I really married you?"
Xiao Jinyu hugged his neck and covered his lips.
"How can we still have a holiday? Am I not with you every day now?"
After saying that, he pulled him to the chessboard and said with a smile, "I haven't played chess with Chang Gong yet, why don't we play a game?"
"You don't dare. You can play blind chess now. You are almost in a state of trance. I'm afraid I will lose miserably!"
"Don't belittle yourself, Chang Gong. Playing chess on paper is nothing more than arm talk! Since ancient times, literati have been fond of eloquent words, coaxing, and slandering generals with words and writings. But how can these arm's-length tactics on paper compare to the real battlefield!"
"The battlefield is changing rapidly. Those soldiers and comrades are all living beings of flesh and blood. They are not chess pieces on this chessboard. No one should be abandoned and sacrificed as a chess piece!
Chang Gong, am I right? "
When Xiao Jinyu said this, Gao Changgong couldn't help but feel excited. He thought that many of his comrades who had fought with him on the battlefield over the years were indeed no longer alive. He himself also had a narrow escape from death. He had escaped from swords and guns many times under the protection of his soldiers. Rain of arrows.
"So, Chang Gong, there's nothing great about being able to play chess. The most amazing thing is you generals and soldiers who risk your lives on the battlefield to protect your country!"
At this point, she smiled again and added, "It's just that Ayu still hopes that her husband can live a long life! In this way, Ayu will not feel lonely!"
Gao Changgong was very moved when he heard this, and he covered her lips with his deep love, telling thousands of words in his lingering sorrow.
Fenghuang was sitting on a locust tree in the mansion, and happened to see their silhouettes projected on the window paper through the window lattice. He felt disappointed but also felt a touch of relief in his heart.
At this moment, Lu Yu hurried to the other courtyard of the mansion. It seemed that he had something important to report. He rushed straight into the pavilion where Prince Lanling usually rested. He saw that his own prince was hugging the princess and kissing her. …
Lu Yu quickly turned around and ran back!
Before running a few steps, I heard Xiao Jinyu calling: "Is it Li Langjun who has sent some news?"
Lu Yu paused, turned around with a smile, walked up to Prince Lanling and Xiao Jinyu with a blushing face, and reported:
"Yes, I heard that Your Majesty is going to send someone to send Zhou Guoyu Wenhu's aunt Yang out of Yecheng to Zhou Guo..."
"This is a good opportunity. Do you know who your Majesty will send?"
