However, playing chess with Zhang Tian, Qi Xiaobai can feel the fun of playing chess, although he must win every battle, but every battle, it is not easy to win, it can let Qi Xiaobai experience the fun of playing chess, and at the same time, Qi Xiaobai will not feel that this is Zhang Tianshang releasing water.

Of course, as for whether Zhang Tianshang released water, Qi Xiaobai didn't care, what he cared about was that he could experience the fun in this chess game.

In this world without electronic devices, the only things that entertain Qi Xiaobai are some singing and dancing, playing chess, and appreciating some rare beasts, and Qi Xiaobai's time in a day is mostly at work, and his time is very scarce.

It can be said that the profession of emperor is the most tiring profession in the world, but at the same time it is a profession that everyone in the world envies, as for why people envy it, Qi Xiaobai thinks that it is because they think that when they become emperors, they have everything and everything, but Qi Xiaobai knows that what is lost when he becomes an emperor is freedom, and many times he can't help himself.

And every day in official business, not busy with work, just thinking about playing, I'm afraid that you, the emperor, can't be in office for two years, then you will have to be knocked out of power.

Zhang Tianshang played chess with Qi Xiaobai, and then after walking a few steps, Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said: "Your Majesty, I came this time to tell Your Majesty that Zhou Baotong conquered the Sulu Kingdom, won a great victory, broke through Lava, destroyed the pirate base there, and also killed their Sulu East King!" ”

Qi Xiaobai nodded: "My Qi country's navy is an invincible division, how can it be that small Sulu country can fight?" The moment Zhou Baotong played, I already knew the result! ”

"Your Majesty is famous!" After Zhang Tianshang took a step, he said in a low voice.

And Qi Xiaobai looked at the step Zhang Tianshang took and laughed: "Zhang Shangqing, you are really confused, it seems that I am going to win this game against you again!" ”

And Zhang Tianshang frowned, looking at Qi Xiaobai with a puzzled face: "Why did Your Majesty say this?" ”

"I just put on the big dragon!" Zhang Tianshang looked at the chessboard and said lightly.

"Then I'm going to be a dragon slayer today!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and said lightly.

And Guan Zhong on the side looked at Zhang Tianshang and shook his head, he knew that Zhang Tianshang was letting Qi Xiaobai, although he put a big dragon on the chessboard, it seemed that he wanted to kill Qi Xiaobai steadily and win the chess game, but Guan Zhong knew that there were all kinds of loopholes in his chess game, although this loophole could not be seen by ordinary people, but he knew that Qi Xiaobai could definitely see it.

Qi Xiaobai's chess skills were trained under him and Zhang Tianshang, as well as Tian Ji and various Zhongqing bigwigs, although he was not a peerless master in chess, and he was not a master, but he generally understood how to go.

Guan Zhong looked at Zhang Tianshang, he also had to admire Zhang Tianshang's mastery, Zhang Tianshang unintentionally leaked a loophole, and this loophole was also seen by Qi Xiaobai.

Zhang Tianshang knew where Qi Xiaobai's level was, and he also knew how to go, so that Qi Xiaobai could win, but at the same time, he would not let Qi Xiaobai win too easily.

If a game of chess is won too easily, then the fun of playing chess is lost, although Qi Xiaobai likes to win every battle, but he is not willing, easily win this chess game, if it is easy to win, then what is the point of playing this game of chess?

Qi Xiaobai fell, and then Zhang Tianshang's big dragon was besieged and killed, and when Zhang Tianshang saw it, he showed a shocked expression: "Your Majesty's chess skills are a lot more superb, and I am less and less of an opponent!" ”

Qi Xiaobai laughed and said, then looked at Zhang Tianshang: "When did Zhang Shangqing win against me?" ”

"You, you still have to practice this chess skill, practice, I still want you to win me once!" Qi Xiaobai laughed, laughing while collecting the chess pieces he ate.

Zhang Tianshang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although you have slaughtered my big dragon, you haven't won the whole game yet, and you can still fight!" After Zhang Tianshang finished speaking, Qi Xiaobai was stunned when he saw it, and then said in a low voice: "You, there is something!" ”

And Guan Zhong shook his head, he also admired this Zhang Tianshang in his heart, no wonder Qi Xiaobai likes to play chess with Zhang Tian, it is obviously a mortal game, Zhang Tianshang let him come back to life, and after coming to life, from the outside, Zhang Tianshang has the upper hand, as if he wants to kill Qi Xiaobai, but in fact, Guan Zhong knows that there are various loopholes exposed on this upper hand, and this loophole can be seen with Qi Xiaobai's strength.

Even if Qi Xiaobai can't see it, Guan Zhong also believes that Qi Xiaobai will not lose, because Zhang Tianshang will cooperate with Qi Xiaobai to play this chess game and let Qi Xiaobai go to victory, of course, this victory is a miserable victory.

But Guan Zhong knew that if Zhang Tianshang wanted to win, Qi Xiaobai would basically lose at this time, although Zhang Tianshang had loopholes on the chessboard, but the whole expectation was that Qi Xiaobai had more loopholes.

"Your Majesty's chess skills are growing, how can the minister's chess skills stop?" Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said with a smile.

Qi Xiaobai nodded: "That's right, people are improving, if you don't move forward, then there is no difference between people and death!" ”

"Your Majesty, Zhou Baotong has brought some gifts for Your Majesty!" Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

Many times, when Qi Xiaobai was playing chess and watching songs and dances, the ministers below would slowly reveal some official affairs to Qi Xiaobai.

"Gifts?" Qi Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhang Tianshang.

"It's some gold, jewelry, and of course, some Nanyang specialties!" Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

Zhang Tianshang is the finance minister of Qi State, the internal minister, he usually doesn't ask about military matters, but Zhou Baotong is a person from his faction, so it can be said that the navy is standing under Zhang Tianshang's door.

Of course, the other two prime ministers did not mean to win over Zhou Baotong, because the navy consumed military spending, and it was difficult to pull out some political achievements for them.

So they willingly gave it to Zhang Tianshang, and Zhang Tianshang accepted Zhou Baotong because Zhou Baotong helped his son Zhang Zhen many times.

For this organization that consumes funds, Zhang Tianshang actually doesn't want it, after all, the cost is huge, and the benefits brought to him are meager, if it weren't for Zhou Baotong helping his son, he would not want to have anything to do with Zhou Baotong.

However, in recent years, Zhou Baotong's fight against pirates has brought a lot of benefits from maritime merchants, and some of these benefits have been given to Zhang Tianshang, and Zhang Tianshang has become more and more different about Zhou Baotong.

Of course, this change is a personal change for Zhou Baotong, not a change for the Qi Navy, although the Qi Navy can get huge benefits from the maritime merchants every year, but the maintenance of the navy and the maintenance of warships are all huge sums of money.

Zhang Tianshang has to think of a way to deal with this huge amount of money every year.
