Chapter 152: Six people in one courtyard


After the new emperor of Liyang ascended the throne, he attached great importance to the rule of culture, especially the Hanlin, and the love for the latter was simply to the point of no return, first of all, the site of the Zhao family urn was moved to the right side of the middle line between the Baohe Hall of the Wuying Palace, and then after the edict was issued, the master of the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites jointly presided over the imperial examination, which was established as the practice of the dynasty, so the saying that "in the future, non-Hanlin shall not enter the cabinet" was in the capital.

Today's great housewarming of the Hanlin Academy can be described as a gathering of heroes, a good dazzling scene of the prosperous era originated here in the Ministry of Rites Lang Jin Lan Pavilion, in the Hanlin served in the first year of the Xiangfu new branch champion Lang Li Jifu, is not only Tanhualang but also Wu Congxian, a rookie in the Yi world, because of merit from the local rise to move into the Hanlin Academy of the Song family Feng Song Kaili, Dongyuan Pavilion scholar son Yan Chiji, is already the door of the Yang Zheng Sanpin high-ranking officials of the province left scattered cavalry standing attendant Chen Wang, once served as the right sacrifice wine of the Guozi Jian Sun Yin.

Before this group of young Junyan, who was only thirty years old, gathered together, in fact, many important ministers and ministers who had a relationship with the Hanlin Academy had dispersed one after another, such as Qi Yanglong Zhao Youling, the first and second in command of Zhongshu Province, Tantan Weng Huanwen, who was recognized as an old Hanlin scholar, Yin Maochun, a Tianguan who had been in charge of the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years and had recently joined the main ministry, and Lu Baijie, the Shangshu Tangxi Sword Immortal of the Military Department who had the title of Xia Guan, either alone or together, really made this new Hanlin Academy shine.

Stained with the official spirit and elegance of the fairy ybdu but not a chess player, not even in the capital defeated three national players in a row and the reputation of Wu Congxian, but two people from the government and the opposition feel face-to-face, the age difference between the two is very serious, a stone table with four stone benches, a "old taste Mijia" Huanghuali chessboard on the table, the black and white chess box on the left and right confrontation is divided into white and black chess pieces, there is a splendid cushion on the stone bench, the two of them are of course sitting and talking about chess, but the remaining two stools, The seated figure is the apex of the world's glory, when today's son Zhao Zhang, the queen Yan Dongwu.

In the chess game of the opponent, in addition to the emperor His Majesty nicknamed "small bookcase" of the handsome young man, there is still a white Ding identity of the Liyang people, is Guangling Dao Xiangzhou people Fan Changhou, and Wu Congxian and called "successively double nine", in the past battle Fan Changhou and a step higher, so in the world Yilin also has the reputation of "Fan Shiduan", at the same time, because Fan Changhou is good at painting dry stones, wild plums, winter bamboo, three things, among which the wild plum is the best, arrogant and noble, now Tai'an City has Fan Changhou "a tree alone before the world spring" said, His paintings can be described as a thousand feet of gold in the officialdom of the capital and have no price.

Before Tanhua Wu Congxian became famous, Fan Changhou, who was hidden in the depths of the boudoir, was specially summoned into Beijing by the Son of Heaven, the reason for this will is that the real identity is the small bookcase of the Qintian Supervisor, under the emperor's instruction, he played six games of chess with Wu Cong in one breath, three slow and three fast, Wu Congxian lost neatly, then Fan Changhou, who is known as the first person in today's chess world, naturally entered the emperor's sight, and His Majesty the Emperor personally set this game of chess is not small, if Fan Changhou wins, then you can directly stay in the Hanlin Academy as Huangmenlang, Today's Hanlin Academy is a well-deserved Dragon Pavilion for scholars in the world, and everyone watching chess is the smartest group of people in the Liyang Dynasty, in fact, they know that Fan Changhou's win or loss on the chessboard is not important, and Fan Shiduan has already won outside the chess.

The small bookcase is probably gifted, but after all, the child's heart, sitting without a sitting appearance, crooked body, one hand on the cheeks, the other hand is like flying, almost knocking on the plate when Fan Chang falls.

On the other hand, Fan Changhou, who was dressed in simple clothes, fell behind invisibly in the demeanor of a master outside the world, but this disadvantage of being at the bottom of the wind was only for the eccentricity of the Qintian Supervisor, in fact, Fan Changhou sat quietly and concentratingly, whether it was the "move" of slowly picking up the chess pieces from the chess box, or the twist "not moving" during the long exam, they were all very rich in the style of a grandmaster, and for the aggressive offensive inside and outside the small bookcase chessboard, Fan Shiduan's response was not in a hurry, and the two of them could not see the clues of gain or loss for the time being.

Together with Emperor Zhao Zhen, the characters who can stand on the sidelines and watch chess, not to mention Wu Congxian, who has a very high chess ability, even Chen Wang, who has never played against anyone, must not have bad eyesight, and even the queen Yan Dongwu, who was known as the "Beiliang Female Bachelor" in the past, also looked at it intently and was quite focused.

Yan Chiji stood behind the sister of the mother's world, and only he gave up halfway in the border of the government, and parted ways with the military brigade from the north of Jibei to Liaoxi, and returned to the capital alone, which damaged Yan Chiji's reputation in Shilin, but with the great talisman of the uncle of the dynasty, no one dared to jump out and say irresponsible things.

Yan Chiji looked at the intrigue on the chessboard, quietly raised his head and looked at the old sycamore with green branches and spring joy, and his face was full of exhaustion, if the trip to Liangzhou disappointed him and Kong Wuzhi, then the trip to Jibei made Yan Chiji feel angry, the Jibei defense line, since the Han family is the Central Plains to resist the Beimang's military power, although Liyang attaches more importance to the two Liao, but the generals who can hold the military power in Jibei are all carefully screened by the Ministry of War and are the candidates who are highly expected by the imperial court.

But Yan Chiji saw what it was to retreat before fighting in Beiguan, Jizhou, and took the initiative to shrink the defense line in the face of his reprimand, several border generals were vague, and Gao Tingshu, who was picky in Beiliang Road, was surprisingly silent, obviously receiving instructions from some people in the capital.

Yan Chiji retracted his gaze and looked coldly at Jin Saburo who was not far from his side, the latter was also keenly aware of the young uncle's bad eyes, and just responded with an impeccable gentle smile, Yan Chiji looked at him, suddenly, Yan Chiji felt that his sleeves were pulled, lowered his head, and saw his sister pointing to a chessboard and laughing softly: "Xiao Jian Zheng seems to have played a wonderful chess hand, do you see it?"

The boy looked up and grinned brightly when he heard the queen's compliment.

Yan Chiji sighed softly, no longer competing with Lord Shilang, and turned to watch the chess game.

Fan Changhou's backhand response was still tepid, which made Chen Wang, who was also a relative of the emperor like Yan Chiji, suddenly a little impressed, ordinary poor scholars can see the face of the sky, and the peacock is too late to open the screen, it is not easy to be soothing like Fan Changhou.

The champion Li Jifu is a son of the wealthy lord family in Liaodong, and in terms of poetry, he is not as good as Gao Tingshu in the list of eyes, and he is far inferior to Wu Congxian in terms of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, so most of the government and the opposition think that he is not worthy of the name of the champion who is a little wooden.

In fact, in the poetry society founded by Jin Lanting, it is rare to hear how Li Jifu talks about it, but a few days ago, Bai Yu, the head of the household department, opened his mouth to borrow Li Jifu from the Hanlin Academy, which made people realize that Li Jifu may not be as unpleasant as he seems.

Chen Shaobao, the only one in the group today who can compare the size of an official hat with Jin Lanting, only chatted with Li Jifu for a few words, Wu Congxian originally wanted to get up and get a familiar face with Zuo Sanqi Chang Shi without showing a trace, but he quickly became cold.

Compared with everyone present, Song Kaili's appearance today is the most unexpected, the two masters of the Song family, who have dominated the literary world for decades, can not deserve the words "extremely mournful", and the posthumous nickname is only considered to be middle and lower, Song Kaili was sent from the Qinggui Hanlin Academy to the local county lieutenant at that time.

Jin Lanting, who is more and more familiar with the rules of officialdom, is very curious, how can the Song family's young phoenix, who has fallen from the mud from the high branches, return to the capital, is it to climb which line of the sect nobles does not have this ability for the time being, Tan Tanong has always had a bad impression of the Song family, resulting in the old people of Zhang Lu will not have a good face for Song Kaili, and I have not heard that the Chinese book makes Qi Yanglong have any intersection with the Song family.

Jin Lanting thought for a moment, he didn't know the essentials, and he didn't bother to care, the ups and downs of a Song Kaili were destined to not affect the overall situation, and Jin Lanting did want to take the initiative to show favor to the eldest grandson of the Song family who was also a Huangmenlang in the Hanlin Academy, and he couldn't wait to send hundreds of knives to make a self-made signboard to make a familiar announcement, but now Lord Shilang can turn a blind eye to this person.

At the small court meeting full of ministers, he Jin Saburo can only accompany the last seat, just "phoenix tail", but here and now, but it is a well-deserved phoenix, with the Hanlin Academy in the Liyang Imperial Court, the status of the Ministry of Rites will inevitably rise, he will be in charge of the Ministry of Rites in the future is a sure thing, the imperial examination, then the Ministry of Rites will be the main Hanlin Academy as a supplement, then he Jin Lanting will be the common "teacher" of all scholars in the auspicious years Jin Lanting smiled and bowed his head and bent down, looking down at the chess game, one hand on the mutton fat jade belt around the emperor's waist, and the other hand quietly clenched.

The context of the world is in my hands, so why worry about the temple connections Wu Congxian may be the one who cares most about the outcome of the chess game, and he looked at Fan Chang, who had played against him many times, with a complicated expression, and his thoughts were bitter.

Fan Changhou, a remnant of the Spring and Autumn Period, the word Moon Tian's Buddha, when he was in Xiangzhou, was the thorn in his heart that he couldn't pull out, no matter how the two talked about each other in public and private, Wu Congxian knew that he both despised this person and envied this person, despised Fan Changhou for ignoring the imperial examination, and envied Fan Changhou for his superb chess power as if "there are heavenly people on the side, planning for him".

Before and after his defeat in a row of three major chess players to be Zhao Guo, Wu Congxian did not mention this Fan Changhou once, but the well-informed capital still quickly learned that there was a Fan Shiduan in Xiangzhou, and His Majesty the Emperor had a relaxed atmosphere of the monarch and minister Q&A with him before summoning Fan Changhou into Beijing, Wu Congxian had to bite the bullet and say an insincere sentence "The minister and that Fan Yuetian, the victory and defeat are mixed", but unfortunately it still can't stop the curiosity of His Majesty the Emperor, especially after he lost to the child who is simply the reincarnation of the chess fairy, According to Jin Saburo, the Son of Heaven almost every day urges the Ministry of Rites to ask when Fan Shiduan will enter Beijing and can have this privileged treatment.

When Fan Changhou entered Beijing alone, Wu Congxian went to the post house that night, and "spoke seriously" told Fan Changhou about the prodigy's chess style, "The first layout seems to be sloppy, unintentional and weak, and the middle plate falls into the table, suddenly changes, trance like rubble and ruins, suddenly rises a towering high-rise building, there is a condescending lion fighting rabbit."

Of course, Wu Congxian also knew this kind of illusory statement, and if he said it, he didn't say it, and Fan Changhou was useless after hearing it.

As for why he only said that he played the game first and did not say the end, it was not that Wu Congxian deliberately hid his secrets, but that Wu Congxian played chess with the child, and there were no more than 200 chess games, and Wu Congxian, who was the most faceless and well-known, was embarrassed to say anything at all.

Wu Congxian finally made a splash in the capital, how could he be willing to Fan Chang later steal his limelight in Tai'an City, I wish Fan Changhou would be defeated, simply put, Wu Congxian, a strong player in today's chess world, can lose to the genius boy who is rumored to be from Qin Tianjian, that is like the world's top martial artist losing to the land immortals, without losing his reputation, but he must not lose to Fan Changhou too much, this is like Li Chungang lost to Wang Xianzhi back then, and then Wang Xianzhi lost to Xu Fengnian, lost once, and lost completely.

An hour later, when Fan Changhou continued to "take a long test" of more than a dozen hands, for the first time with a thunderous momentum, the child with a leisurely look seemed to see the opponent for the first time, no longer holding his cheeks, no longer looking left and right, sitting up straight, but not looking at the chess game, but staring straight at Fan Changhou, who was lowering his head and reaching out to roll up his cuffs.

Everyone present couldn't even see the full essence of this hand, and the rest of the spectators who were watching the battle were naturally like falling clouds, among which Jin Lanting couldn't help but turn his head and whisper to ask Wu Congxian, and the latter didn't dare to say anything.

Sun Yin stretched out his fingers and rubbed his earlobes before yawning.

Song Kaili squinted his eyes and pursed his lips tightly.

Chen Wang was carefully observing the change in the young eunuch's expression that year.

Li Jifu cautiously looked at His Majesty the Emperor who was frowning and leaning forward.

Yan Chiji, who was all on the chessboard, bent down and exchanged words with his sister Yan Dongwu.

If you add Fan Changhou, the self-satisfied authority, not counting the emperor Zhao Seal Empress Yan Dongwu and the Qintian Supervisor, then under the Qingtong tree in the Hanlin Academy today, there are as many as four people from Beiliang Dao, Chen Wang, Sun Yin, Yan Chiji, and Jin Lanting.

Jiangnan Province has Wu Congxian, Guangling Road has Fan Changhou, Liangliao Road has Li Jifu, and Beijing has Song Kaili.

From this point of view, it seems that today's son is more open-minded to Beiliang than the first emperor.

The emperor looked at the small bookcase with great interest, showed a vicious expression to someone, and said, "Seal the plate for the time being, and the two of you will fight later."

Small bookcase, after Fan Chang, try his best to play this chess game through the ages.

If the ending is more brilliant, I will let the Danqing Holy Hand in the palace paint for you.

I'm going to go to a small pilgrimage meeting soon, and I'm going to be late, but I'll be talked about by Tantanong for a long time. ” Jin Lanting, who was wearing a purple-robed official uniform, hurriedly bowed his waist slightly, making a way for His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Mother.

The emperor took the empress's hand, left with a smile on his face, and was sent off by Yan Chiji.

Jin Lanting, as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, also had to participate in the small court meeting full of purple, but the emperor didn't speak, so he naturally didn't stick to the emperor's side, after all, he was suspected of being a fox and a fake tiger.

After the three "family" took the lead in leaving, he deliberately pulled Wu Congxian out of the Hanlin Academy and walked a distance, originally the latter was in the Ministry of Rites to observe politics, and compared with Li Jifu, who ranked higher in the palace examination but was taciturn, Jin Lanting was more optimistic about Wu Congxian, who was also the backbone of the Poetry Society, and even more highly regarded Gao Tingshu, who had already made a name for himself in the Ministry of War.

Yan Dongwu said softly: "Why do you attach so much importance to that Fan Changhou?"

The emperor turned his head and winked at the queen, and whispered: "Playing chess to win, it's just a trivial matter, in fact, what is nine paragraphs and ten paragraphs, what is the benefit of the country, but Zhao Xun, the king of Jing'an, still has a blind chess player Lu Xu, I am the lord of a country, how can I not have a Fan Shiduan by my side" Yan Dongwu couldn't help but smile: "This can also make Your Majesty angry, are you still a child?"

The emperor said with a grumbling face: "Am I already old in your heart?"

Yan Dongwu Ji followed his younger brother Yan Chiji after getting up, coughed lightly, the emperor laughed, disagreed, deliberately slowed down his pace, and let the brother-in-law who had touched a gray nose in Jibei to follow, and then comforted softly: "I don't advise you about Jibei's affairs, I just want you not to worry."

I heard your sister say that she doesn't want to stay in the military department anymore, where do you want to go to the Ministry of Rites, or the Ministry of Officials" Yan Dongwu was about to speak, but the emperor held her hand with a slight weight, and she had to swallow the words back into her stomach.

Yan Chiji was obviously a little afraid of the more and more majestic sister, and hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to come to the Hanlin Academy, there are many books here." ” The emperor glared and said: "When there are no outsiders, it's okay to call your brother-in-law to come to the Hanlin Academy, but start with Xiaohuangmenlang first, otherwise I don't care if you make Dahuangmen, your temper is too gentle, and you don't want to fight for anything, you will definitely be excluded and neglected by many old-timers, those old literati who are older are not the same as the officials of the Sixth Ministry, but it doesn't matter what kind of uncle you are." ” Yan Chiji snorted.

The emperor turned his head to Yan Dongwu and smiled softly: "Talk more about your brothers and sisters, I, an outsider, will not be an eyesore." ” When the emperor was accompanied by Song Tanglu, the first eunuch of this dynasty, and gradually drifted away, Yan Dongwu asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you return what I gave you to that person." ” Yan Chiji's face was slightly pale, and he said weakly: "I didn't see Brother Feng'er." ” She snapped, "Shut up" Yan Chiji, whose body trembled, asked cautiously: "Otherwise, I will destroy it secretly."

Yan Dongwu was furious almost instantly, and then tried his best to suppress his anger, his face was cloudy, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Hide it" Yan Chiji hung his head.

After Yan Dongwu calmed down, his tone slowed down, and he said with appreciation: "You didn't say that you were going to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, it's good." ” Yan Dongwu stood face to face with this younger brother, helped him tuck the collar of his shirt, and said softly: "You have to remember one thing, Wen Zheng Wen Zhong Wen Gong, these three beautiful words must come from the Hanlin Academy."

Yan Chiji said timidly: "Sister, I didn't think about it so much, really." ” Yan Dongwu bent his fingers and knocked on the forehead of this younger brother, and he smiled, "You, fools have foolish blessings." ” Yan Chiji wanted to speak and stopped, Yan Dongwu obviously guessed what he was thinking, shook his head and said, "Don't worry about the things in the palace."

Go back, I have a gut feeling that the young people in that yard now will."

Speaking of this, the queen mother stopped talking and looked up at the sun, dazzling, so it was a little dazzling.

Yan Chiji returned to the courtyard, and under the green tung tree, the child was asking with a cold face, "Who are you learning chess with?"

Fan Changhou smiled and said, "Since I was four years old, I have been learning chess with the ancient people. ” The child pointed to the last move on the chessboard, "The ancients couldn't play this hand" Fan Changhou said calmly: "My generation is not better than the ancients, what face is it true to see future generations learn chess with the ancients, but it is your turn to play chess, and you can't sit in the eternal." ” The child snorted coldly and glanced at the chessboard endgame, "If it weren't for the change in Qin Tianjian that happened, I would be absent-minded, and I wouldn't have given you any chance to win or lose today, and you will come to Qin Tianjian to pick up the star pavilion tomorrow."

Fan Changhou was noncommittal.

The old-fashioned child strode away, and only at this time did he have a little childishness at his age.

Since he was a child, he ran around in the small bookcase of Qin Tianjian and finally found the queen mother who was the closest to him, which was diametrically opposed to the domineering momentum of this child when he played chess with others, he saw Yan Dongwu is face full of immature smiles, just like a child meeting his sister who loved him.

Yan Dongwu rubbed the head of the small bookcase, and said with pity: "It's hard for you, Qin Tianjian has suffered such a great change, His Majesty still wants you to play chess with someone, and I will help you scold him a few words when you turn around." ” In the tightly sealed accident not long ago, there were more than 800 guards who died in battle, most of them were martial arts warriors of the forbidden army, not to mention, there were dozens of masters with koi fish bags, especially the latter, on the way to Guangling Road, more than 100 of the top Jianghu who were recruited by the Imperial Court Criminal Department were all mysteriously killed, Zhao Gou had already suffered heavy losses, and this time the loss was tantamount to making matters worse.

But compared to the real loss, the death of the Qi cultivator in the Qin Heavenly Prison is nothing at all.

These so-called immortals in the world, there are many masters with supernatural powers, and they have an indispensable effect on the Liyang Imperial Court, and their existence itself is a magnificent deterrent that can symbolize the majesty of the Heavenly Dao.

The emperor is the one to whom the destiny of heaven returns, so he is carried by heaven.

As a result, Liyangbei sent Fulong to practice qi, and in that bloody battle, he died completely Today, who has always regarded the matter of Go as an "idle path", why did he hastily relocate the Hanlin Academy, and why did he personally build momentum for Fan Shiduan and Fan Changhou, or because he wanted to divert the attention of his courtiers and try his best to suppress the turbulent ripples that affected the entire capital Yan Dongwu even saw the gentle and elegant "Four Princes" with his own eyes, and locked himself in the imperial study for a whole night.

When he came out, even the great eunuch Song Tanglu didn't dare to approach, but she had to step forward in person to bandage his bloody left hand.

The little bookcase shook his head and said, "Grandpa Jianzheng said that everyone is going to die, and I am not sad."

If it weren't for the fact that I still had to play three games of chess with someone for Grandpa Grandpa, or it wouldn't matter if I died there. ” Then the child muttered in his heart that although the old man was dead, his apprentice might have appeared.

He won't tell anyone about this matter, not even the queen's sister.

Yan Dongwu smiled angrily: "Don't say bad things, you are only a little older child, live well." ” The small bookcase smiled and said, "I want to eat osmanthus cake." ” Yan Dongwu took his little hand and walked in the palace, "Then we have to wait until autumn, so ah, we have to live well." ” In the Hanlin Courtyard, when Yan Chiji approached, he found that the atmosphere was a little delicate, Chen Wang, who had the highest rank, and Li Jifu were standing aside and chatting, and Sun Yin, the madman who had been in the Guozi Prison and Confucianism, was lying on the stone table, and Fan Changhou, the tenth national player, was reviewing it in detail.

Yan Chiji had already stopped, but suddenly found that Song Kaili, who was alone, smiled at him, Yan Chiji smiled and stepped forward.

In the spring of the second year of Xiangfu, on this day, there were six people in this small courtyard.

Chen Wang, Sun Yin, Song Kaili, Fan Changhou, Li Jifu, Yan Chiji.

Originally, more than 2,000 words had been written in the Battle of Hulukou in Youzhou, but if you want to synthesize a chapter, you have to write at least another 4,000 words, otherwise it would still be too intermittent to upload only 9,000 words.

That's all for today's 6,000 words.

This kind of "transition" chapter is estimated to be as "pleasing" as Li Jifu in the book, but I hope you will pinch your nose and read it, of course, I still have a lot of feelings when I write it myself, well, it's that the feelings rarely boast of anything, but writing this kind of picture similar to "can freeze history" is really emotional.

S: Don't worry, it's going to be one big battle after another.

Beiliang and Guangling can be regarded as fighting one country with one place. “”:
