At midnight, the moon and stars are sparse.
Compared with the sensual singing and dancing in the East Palace, the style in the Tai Chi Palace is much more elegant.
Sandalwood curled up, and the palace maids on both sides held fan handles and kept blowing air on the soft couch.
Snap, snap.
On the soft couch, there were two old men playing chess.
One person looked calm, but the other person was already frowning and scratching his head.
finally.
There was a snap.
"Your Majesty's chess style is so steady, I really can't find any flaws..."
One of the old men reluctantly raised his hand.
While admitting defeat, he also did not forget to flatter the emperor.
This is the basic skill of being a favorite minister and loving your minister. The more solid the basic skill, the richer the power and salary will be.
"hehe……"
Li Yuan, who was wearing a dragon-patterned silk robe, couldn't help but smile when he heard this and responded,
"Xiao Aiqing has always been gentle and kind, and she has great respect for Buddhism. But why is she so murderous on this chessboard?"
"Although your attack is strong, there will inevitably be loopholes in a sudden attack. If I fight you steadily and for a long time, you will definitely be defeated."
"This style of chess needs to be improved."
While pointing, he also ordered the slave:
"Come here, give Mr. Xiao Ge a cup of tea."
"yes,"
The palace maid left in response, and Mr. Xiao Ge also handed over his hand again, and then said extremely seriously:
"His Majesty's teachings really enlightened Xiao Yu. I will think about it carefully when I get back and strive to improve."
Although the words were so sincere and beautiful, he didn't take it seriously.
Am I killing too hard?
Haha, those are all the flaws I deliberately left out to you, you old bastard!
If it weren't for this, with your level, I would have killed you dozens of times!
In the chess game just now, I would have had to admit defeat in the middle of the game if anyone was of equal skill. It was only you, a bad chess player, who could have fought so hard for so long...
You came to guide me, it’s really...
Of course, such thoughts can only be lived in the heart, and cannot be expressed in the mouth or even on the face.
Go is just a tool to please the emperor. As long as the emperor is happy, what does it matter if he loses a thousand games?
When a cup of tea was served, Li Yuan seemed to still have something to say, and said:
"One more kill?"
Xiao Yu was confident, he cupped his hands and said:
"Then please give your Majesty another round of guidance."
The two squared off again, as enthusiastically as an old man playing chess in a park, completely ignoring that it was already late at night.
Snap, snap.
Xiao Yu made moves faster this time. He seemed not to listen to Li Yuan's words, and his attacks became more rapid.
Li Yuan was moved by his rhythm, and his moves became faster. He didn't even have time to think. In just a few breaths, the two of them had already played dozens of moves, chasing each other.
Snapped!
Xiao Yu made the key move, raised his head slightly, and said casually:
"Your Majesty, why are you suddenly convening a court meeting tomorrow? Is there something urgent?"
Li Yuan was caught in a long test at this moment, hesitating with the chess pieces in hand.
When Xiao Yu asked, he finally dropped the chess piece at will and blurted out without thinking:
"Of course there is something wrong. It's not because of those traitors who fight for it every day. Even I dare to..."
"Well……"
His voice stopped suddenly and he looked up at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu looked as if nothing had happened, continued to make moves, and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, it's your turn again."
Li Yuan looked at the chessboard: "..."
Damn it!
That move just now was a really bad move! Being trapped by Xiao Yu, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive even 100 hands!
Suddenly, he lost all interest.
"No more, it's boring!"
Li Yuan pushed away the chess piece, stood up and said,
"It's so hot and annoying today! It's so boring!"
With that said, he stood up and left the table, dragging his loose silk robe and walking barefoot outside the hall.
Xiao Yu curled his lips.
If chess quality is equal to character, then the character of our Emperor is really not that good...
He adjusted his robes and stood up to follow.
The two of them, one behind the other, stopped at the railing outside the hall.
In the middle of the night, the night wind was blowing, and it was actually cooler outside than inside the palace.
"Xiao Aiqing..."
Li Yuan held the railing with one hand, looked at the starry sky in the distance, and said lightly,
"You also know about this farce, right? I was fooled around by my good son..."
"Tell me, how should I reward him properly?"
Xiao Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The main event is here!
"Wei Chen doesn't know the whole story and dare not comment."
Xiao Yu said cautiously.
"Oh, old slick guy!"
Li Yuan snorted coldly and said,
"Then I will let you know the whole story!"
"I have already found out that the prince's rebellion is completely false!"
"Wei Ting, the commander of the left guard of the East Palace, secretly delivered armor to Yang Wenqian. This crime is not big or small. If it were only these five hundred pairs of armor, I wouldn't be frightened by it."
"But after the two small officials in the East Palace reported to me, Yang Wenqian immediately raised his troops to rebel! Why did he do this? Anyone who is a normal person knows that doing this will lead to death. He only has a few soldiers? But he still chooses Directly rebel!"
"Why?"
Xiao Yu bowed and remained silent.
At this time, he can only be a listener.
"The purpose is to cause me a misjudgment! I misjudged that the prince has also conspired to rebel. They want to cooperate with the outside and send troops from Chang'an and Qingzhou to attack Yuhua Mountain!"
Li Yuan held the railing tightly with his hands, his tone turned cold,
"I did think so at the time, so I fell into a moment of panic and anger."
"Then he urgently summoned the King of Qin, asked him to protect him and quell the rebellion, and granted him the title of crown prince."
"I also ordered the prince to come here immediately, but the prince came obediently and didn't even bother to let me be imprisoned. I suddenly came to my senses at this moment."
"There's something fishy here..."
Xiao Yu squeezed his hands, and his palms were already sweating a little.
"Yang Wenqian has no reason to rebel. He doesn't have the strength; the prince has no reason to rebel! If he really wants to rebel, how can I persuade him with an order?"
Li Yuan sneered and said,
"Someone was causing trouble and deceived us all! He wanted to turn me and Jiancheng into Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the violent prince, so that we could not resolve this misunderstanding and made us attack each other out of desperation!"
"Tell me, is this person... cruel enough?"
Xiao Yu trembled all over and immediately fell to his knees.
"Weichen, Weichen..." He hesitated, unable to hold back any farts.
"Under my severe torture, the two small officials in the East Palace finally gave in."
Li Yuan's voice seemed to come from afar and fell into Xiao Yu's ears.
"There is a premeditation and there is someone behind the scenes!"
"Who is the mastermind behind the scenes? It's a gangster named Du Fengju. So who is this Du Fengju?"
"It turns out that he is an illegitimate son from Tiance Mansion who joined the army..."
Xiao Yu raised his head slightly and saw Li Yuan smiling.
But that smile was biting and colder than the cold wind!
"This game is really well set up..."
Li Yuan grinned and boasted,
"The good thing about it is that it took advantage of my weakness and I almost fell into his trap."
"The good thing about it is that it can make those people work for him wholeheartedly and not let go, even if it means sacrificing their lives."
"The good thing about it is that even people who are not him on the surface can secretly sacrifice their lives for him. Even if the consequence is that the whole family is killed, they still have to use the banner of rebellion to complete this scam!"
"Okay, okay...that's great."
The more he praised, the brighter the fire in Li Yuan's eyes!
boom!
The next second, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and slammed his hand on the railing.
The railing made a dull sound and shook!
Also shocked was Xiao Yu's heart!
