Chapter 9: The General Loves Chess

Linglong wiped her tears and ran out to make tea for the two big guys, and Fang Yiai stood by the table as a good student.

"Xuan Ling, this is what you said about the table and stool, it's really good, it's much more comfortable to sit on it than to kneel on the couch, it seems that you are going to get rich this time, if I have no money in the future, you have to help me" Du Ruhui sat on the stool and experienced the different feeling, and humorously quipped.

"Hehe, Keming, we are not that kind of layman, how can we talk about money every day like a businessman" Fang Xuanling said with a serious smile.

"Xuan Ling, this is a bad statement, everything is born with its survival reason, I don't think it's a shame to talk about money, you see those officials, one by one, they are pretending to be old and high, and they don't know how to make money behind them" Du Ruhui said without scruples.

"Keming, please also ban it, if you let the officials know what you said, you will definitely play a copy in front of Your Majesty, although we don't have to be afraid, but those officials are too annoying" Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"Hehe, I dare to talk about it here, anyway, there is no one else here, I believe Jun'er should not be a big mouth," Du Ruhan said with a smile, and glanced at Fang Bereavement out of the corner of his eye. Fang Yiai smiled very knowingly: "Uncle, I was distracted just now, I didn't hear anything, is there something good, please uncle can you say it again!" ”

Du Ruhui knocked on Fang Yiai's arm and scolded with a smile: "Little slippery head! ”

Looking at the chess on the table, Du Ruhan asked with a smile: "Jun'er, I watched with your father for a long time just now, you seem to have evolved from chess in the Warring States Period, I feel pretty good, can you tell us about this chess move, and I will talk to your father about a few games!" ”

Fang Yiai dared to say a word, and said the chess move very neatly.

The two bigwigs are worthy of being high-IQ people, and in the first game, both of them were familiar with this kind of chess move, but from the second game, the two began to fight inseparably, and half an hour was over, and the second game was not over yet. Fang Yiai pulled Linglong's sleeve and said staggeringly: "Linglong, compared to them, we are both stinky chess baskets!" Linglong smiled and nodded, the second young master is really right, these two big guys are playing chess, they are simply fighting.

The two of them played for a whole hour, and a game of chess was finished, and in the end, Fang Xuanling was one step higher. Du Ruhui arched his hand and said with a smile: "Xuan Ling, admire and admire, in terms of strategy, I have always been inferior to you, just now you replaced me with a car, I thought I took advantage." Now that I think about it, you deliberately did it to disrupt my defensive strategy and find a loophole that would allow you to keep attacking, and I didn't lose this game unjustly. ”

"Hehe, Keming, I also admire your courage to decisively give up a cannon, and then withdraw the car to guard the house. If you come back one step later, then I can have won a long time ago" Fang Xuanling admired Du Ruhui's decisiveness, this is exactly what he lacks, I believe that if he encounters this kind of problem, he will definitely hesitate, but Du Ruhui did not hesitate, and decisively gave up the cannon.

"Xuan Ling, what do you think of this thing?" Du Ruhui asked meaningfully.

"Keming, this thing contains thousands of changes, it can be said that it is a collection of soldiers' thoughts, if it is promoted well, it will play a big role" Fang Xuanling touched his beard and said with a smile.

Du Ruhui nodded, and asked Fang Yiai who was standing next to him, "Jun'er, is this thing from your hand?" ”

"Uncle, this thing is something I thought of occasionally, because I felt that there was too little entertainment, and it was not too good to always go to bed so early every day, so I figured out the current chess according to the dispute between Chu and Han and the Warring States Chess. I think that in the chessboard, you can fully show your thoughts, you can attack and defend, you can advance or retreat, you can not only seek stability, but also surprise to win, deception, detour, all tactics can be shown from the chessboard," Fang Yiai quietly explained.

When Fang Yiai finished speaking, Du Ruhui applauded happily and said to Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling, there is such a unicorn in the family, you are still not satisfied." I have another hero in Datang, I believe Your Majesty will be very happy to know it. ”

Fang Yiai didn't understand what Du Ruhui meant, but felt that Du Ruhui was really crossing him. But Fang Xuanling frowned, "Keming, Jun'er is only a little over 14 years old now, is it too early to let him touch these things?" ”

"Xuan Ling, we are only responsible for recommending, as for the rest, it should be decided by His Majesty personally, there is a way to be virtuous and not to avoid relatives, as long as there are talented people, we will recommend to Your Majesty, this is our responsibility. And Your Majesty is so wise, he will definitely make arrangements," Du Ruhui laughed.

Fang Xuanling knew Du Ruhui's temper, since he had already decided to do this, it would be useless to stop it even if he stopped it.

After Du Ruhui left, Fang Xuanling led Fang Xuanling to his study, Fang Xuanling sat on the newly built chair and thought about it and asked solemnly: "Jun'er, what are your plans, what do you want to learn?" ”

"Father, child, I want to learn martial arts!" Fang Yiai answered very seriously, he had thought about this question for a long time, what Datang values most is military merit, as long as he has made the most military merits, he has his own connections in the military. Then the house can be preserved completely, otherwise a title will not be able to keep the house, because the house is too dazzling, and the dazzling makes people jealous.

"Jun'er, why do you want to learn martial arts, you must know that learning martial arts will be very tiring, why don't you learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Fang Xuanling asked with a frown.

"Father, there are two reasons, first, the house is not a title that can be kept, to keep the house, you must have enough strength, only if the military has a foothold, plus the support of the eldest brother in the court, then the house can be foolproof, otherwise once the father dies, the house will be ruined; Second, I'm not very interested in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my father also knows my surname Bing" Fang Yiai replied seriously, he didn't know if these words could impress Fang Xuanling, but he had to tell the truth, because in the face of his father, there was no need to lie.

After Fang Xuanling listened to Fang Xuanling's words, he looked at his son in front of him carefully, and suddenly smiled with relief, and the wrinkles on his face also stretched, as if he was more than ten years younger, "Jun'er, do you know, I'm happy for my father, because you have finally grown up." Very good, since you want to learn martial arts, then the father will find the best master for you, but the father still has to say that learning cultural knowledge does not mean cowardice, the father is also a literati, but he can still ride a horse and shoot arrows, and the civil and military are not separated from each other, do you understand? ”

"Father, the child will follow the teachings carefully, and he will definitely work hard to enrich his knowledge, but when it comes to learning martial arts, I also ask my father to help me a lot" Fang Yiai also understood his father's words, a soldier without knowledge is just a reckless man, and he will never be able to be a marshal.

"Jun'er, don't worry, how can your father lie to you? By the way, Jun'er said today that what you and my father and son said must not be mentioned to a third person, even if it is not your eldest brother, your eldest brother's temper is too modest" Fang Xuanling instructed earnestly, he has been worried about the future of Fangfu, the eldest grandson Wuji is too powerful, and because of his and Du Ruhui's obstruction over the years, the eldest grandson Wuji has already been jealous and resentful. Now that he is still alive, the eldest grandson Wuji has no choice, but once he dies, with the surname of the eldest grandson Wuji, he will definitely uproot the house. Just like his son said, the title of Duke Liang Guo can't keep the house, only strength can, the Tang Dynasty is the most important military merit, as long as the military supports the house, then the eldest grandson Wuji, no matter how great the energy is, he can't do any tricks.

Fang Yiai nodded, and then said with a hippie smile: "Father, it's better to have you covered, so that I can be a carefree child!" ”

"Stinky boy, begging for a beating, is there an itchy skin?" Fang Xuanling scolded with a smile on his face, and after a while, he asked with a smile: "Jun'er, let me ask you a question, if you have the power in your hands now, will you support a prince?" ”

"Father, do you want to hear the truth or do you want to hear lies?" Fang Yiai asked with a shy smile.

"Poor mouth, of course it's true!"

"Then I'll be blunt, when Your Majesty was alive, it was absolutely to support Your Majesty's authority, and I would not support anyone. But once His Majesty dies, then I will definitely support a prince with a good relationship," Fang Yiai said very easily.

Fang Xuanling nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Jun'er, I only found out now that you have been pretending to be stupid all along. You know, if it were your eldest brother, he would have told me to be neutral, and the kind to be neutral until I died. But he didn't think that since he had stepped into this trend, how could he be alone. A neutral person is always a displeaser on both sides. ”

"Father, in fact, there is no harm in having a surname like the eldest brother, at least there is no way for others to harm him, because the eldest brother is too modest and will not leave any handle for others" Fang Yiai said with a smile.

"Jun'er, you're wrong, do you think Eldest Sun Wuji needs a handle, he only needs one reason, and according to this reason, he can create countless evidence" Fang Xuanling said through gritted teeth.

After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Fang Xuanling's love was like an empowerment, and it turned out that he was still too pure. Fang Yiai had to admire Fang Xuanling's strategy, wasn't what he said about the method of the eldest grandson Wuji to bring down the Fang Mansion later, in the name of rebellion, fabricated a bunch of messy evidence, wiped out the entire Fang Mansion at once, and also cut off Wu Wang Li Ke by the way, it can really be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"Father, it seems that the child really doesn't know much about politics" Fang Yiai shook his head with a wry smile.

"Jun'er, you don't need to understand this, you just need to remember to let the military have your voice, as long as the military supports you, then no one dares to touch you, even the eldest grandson Wuji has to taboo you. And your marriage should also be prepared early, your eldest brother and your sister-in-law are very affectionate, but the combination of the two of them has not brought any benefits to the house, so I have discussed with your mother, and I plan to let you marry the daughter of a prince," Fang Xuanling said undoubtedly.

"What, father, are you going to marry me?" Fang Yiai can't accept this kind of thing from the bottom of his heart, no matter how he is a modern person, how can he accept this kind of emotionless marriage.

"Jun'er, I know you don't want to, but there is no way to be a father, in order for the house to continue, I have to do this" Fang Xuanling looked at his son's lonely face, and felt uncomfortable, but what can he do, the eldest son is already married, and the marriage can only be placed on the head of this younger son.

Fang Yiai knew that this was his fate, he had no way to resist, for the sake of Fang Fu and his parents, he had to accept such an arrangement. Fang Yiai smiled bitterly and said lightly: "Father, my marriage can be arranged by you, but can I talk about marriage in a few years, I just want to learn martial arts with peace of mind in the past few years!" ”

Fang Xuanling stood up and walked in front of Fang Yiai, touched Fang Yiai's hair, and said with a lot of emotion: "Silly child, how can my father be so unsympathetic, since you want to be quiet for a few years, let's talk about it in a few years." ”

The next day, Du Ruhui dedicated the Chu-Han chess to Li Shimin, who was playing chess with Cheng Yanjin with his eyes at this time. Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the table and scolded: "You old horseman, you still have to be shameless, you have regretted a few moves, do you regret playing when you fight?" ”

"Your Majesty, I, Lao Cheng, just charge into battle, as for regretting it or not, that's your problem, which battle was not commanded by you and the pharmacist" Cheng Biting Jin grinned widely, showing his big teeth and shamelessly defended, as for the cheekiness that Li Shimin said, Cheng Biting Jin didn't care for a long time, he didn't think about being cheeky since he came out to mix.

Listening to Cheng Biting Jin's words, Li Shimin felt that the fire in his stomach had nowhere to vent, and he trembled his fingers and held back his fingers for a long time before scolding: "You old horseman, why can I play chess with you?" ”

"Your Majesty, who knows, I heard that I could fight anyway, so I came, but to be honest, this chess is very fun, Your Majesty, I think it's better for you to find a pharmacist to play chess, my old Cheng will kill people, playing chess is not my strong point" Li Shimin is out of temper, that is, Cheng Biting Jin dares to call himself Lao Cheng in front of him, if it were another person Li Shimin would have cut him down, and his own emperor has not called himself Lao Li, you are an old puppet who actually runs old Cheng and Lao Cheng all day long, and others seem to be younger than you.

From this day on, Chu and Han chess quickly became popular, if you want to ask the generals of the Tang Dynasty what they love, then they will tell you that the generals love to play chess.;
