Kyoto commanded Ding Jichang's mansion, and Changru made a move. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info only heard the wailing voice of Lord Ding, who was over fifty years old: "Oh, I was fooled...... No, no, you take a step back...... No, take three steps back......"

Changru didn't care, and carefully laid out the chess game before the three moves.

The room was burning with Su Hexiang, the hot cage was more prosperous than usual, Ding Jichang only wore a Taoist robe with double gauze feathers, holding a chess piece in his right hand and a sweat towel in his left hand, staring at the chessboard for a long time, and finally became impatient, waved his hand to disrupt all the chess pieces, and said negatively: "I really don't know if there is anyone in the world who can beat you." ”

A maidservant girl served Guanyin tea, and the two moved from the chess seat to the tea seat, and Changru smiled and said: "My daughter's chess skills are also quite good, and I have often lost games with her in recent years." ”

"Oh?" Ding Jichang showed curiosity, he was handsome and tall when he was young, he was slightly blessed in middle age, and he was a good military general, and now he gives people the feeling of a tiger's back. "Is your daughter a good girl? My daughter also loves to play chess. ”

The meaning of Ding Jichang's words was to let the little daughters move around each other in the future, and Changru smiled and said, "It's time to go." But he ignored the latter sentence.

Ding Jichang smiled as before, and poured a cup of tea for Changru with his own hands.

The two of them talked about old things from Shen Qihuan, "When I accompanied my father to Puyin Temple to make a vow, Master Chengkong once said to my father that among the three disciples he sat down, he only had the fun of playing with Chang Ru, and now I think about it more than ten years ago." ”

Speaking of the deceased, the two couldn't help but sigh, and when the tea was over, an eight-foot-tall guard came in and replied: "My lord, the person sent to Shuijing Hutong has returned, saying that he has detained two soldiers and soldiers for private use by the military department, and a woman has been detained, who is the mother-in-law of Lord Shisun, the treasurer of the military department." ”

Ding Jichang was stunned, and immediately slapped it on the table, scolding, "How can this be true, I look at Sun Hengyi's official being too comfortable." ”

Sun Hengyi, the secretary of the military department, is a protégé of Ding Jichang's father, and he was an official in the same year as Ding Jichang, and his personal relationship is also good.

Changru was alerted in Ding Jichang's words, the secretary of the military department is Sun Hengyi, that is the official career of the great yuan who came up from the poor door, Sun Gang is also surnamed Sun, can he become a person in suspense in the case of the Protector's Mansion, is it possible to be Sun Hengyi's nephew, think about it, but can't, Sun Hengyi finally managed to do six, he is only forty-three or four this year, and it is not impossible to make efforts to be a prime minister, such a person often will not seek any official position for his relatives under his own system, not to mention that Sun Gang's reputation is not good for all to see.

Changru suppressed his thoughts and thanked Ding Jichang solemnly.

On this day, Ding Jichang personally sent Changru out of the mansion, and returned to the inner hall, Mrs. Ding complained to her husband: "Why do you want to offend Lord Sun for a cloth dress?"

"What do you know?" Ding Jichang was served by his wife and changed into regular clothes, and said quietly: "When the first emperor was sick, he discussed the matter of passing on the throne with the old marquis, Tian Ge Lao, and Zunchun County King, and the emperor originally believed in the king's heart, but when Tian Ge Lao was about to put pen to paper, suddenly a eunuch reported, saying that Master Chengkong asked to see, and the first emperor immediately dismissed everyone and summoned Chengkong. ”

When Mrs. Ding heard this, she was already shocked, and couldn't help asking, "At that juncture, you have dismissed three important ministers and want to see a mage?"

Ding Jichang nodded solemnly, the old marquis had only told him once before he died, he looked out the window at the snow, and then said: "The most surprising thing is that an hour after summoning Chengkong, the first emperor asked Tian Ge Lao to immediately draft a decree to pass on the throne to King Jing at that time, that is, the current Long Live Lord." ”

Mrs. Ding pressed her chest hard, as if she was uncomfortable in one breath, and it took a long time to spit out a sentence: "My God, there is such a thing......"

Ding Jichang looked at her like that, and couldn't help but remind her with a solemn face: " I'm telling you these things to make you cautious in the affairs of the back house, although you won't be able to tie up that Miss Shen San, but if you encounter something related to Miss Shen San, you can avoid it, and if you can't avoid it, you must not oppose it, this matter is very widespread, the three old ministers at that time were all guarding this secret until death, and the people who knew it were none other than me and the son of the Zunchun County Wang family, as for Tian Ge Lao, it is said that he died in office, and he didn't even leave a last word, and this secret is estimated to have not been passed on. Therefore, you should only keep it in your heart, and you must not say it to anyone, even to your son and daughter. ”

Mrs. Ding had a white face and only said "understood". Mrs. Ding thought of her son, his mind has not been on the official career, and it is obviously no longer possible to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and with the ability of the master, he can find him a five-grade foreign official, but Mrs. Ding has always been reluctant, and she is jealous of her son's useless Yue family, not only can not help her son, but also drag her son back.

Mrs. Ding regretted in her heart, if it wasn't for the lord who had set this marriage for her son earlier, the son might be able to marry Mr. Changru's daughter now, that is Miss Chengping's grandson, with the lord's official prestige, it is not considered to be high, and maybe even the lord's official fortune will be smoother at that time.

Mrs. Ding thought about her own thoughts, and Ding Jichang's thoughts gradually drifted away.

In fact, there is another thing Ding Jichang did not make it clear to Mrs. Ding, after Master Chengkong passed away, the emperor had transferred two million taels of silver in the household department, no one knew where the silver went, but Ding Jichang found that Zonghua Temple began to build the empty Grace Treasure Hall from that time, and after the Empty Grace Treasure Hall was built, it is said that a golden body was invited back in the country, Ding Jichang suspected that the empty Grace Treasure Hall was enshrined for the Chengkong Master to build, which just explains why the emperor has to write the "Amitabha Sutra" every year to Zonghua Temple to burn offerings.

There are three disciples under Chengkong's seat, the eldest disciple walks in the four countries and his whereabouts are uncertain, the second disciple is resident in Wan'an Temple, and Changru is the only lay disciple of Chengkong, and his weight in the emperor's heart is self-evident.

But Ding Jichang also doesn't understand, Changru has been studying abroad for 19 years, and his return to Beijing this time is not unhigh-profile, but whether it is the name of Mr. Changru or the identity of the Shen family's son-in-law, the environment in which Changru is now is inevitably too quiet.

This kind of quiet is too weird, not to mention anything else, the prince has searched all over the world to accept Mr. Changru as a guest, he already knows that Changru has returned to Beijing, why is it so far away?

Ding Jichang thought that everyone should be waiting and seeing, such a strategist who can subvert the situation of the court, whoever stands behind him will have half of the chance of winning. But after all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and no one's attempt can be grandiose, they can only watch Mr. Changru look at Mei to quench their thirst, waiting for the right opportunity to come.

Ding Jichang has a hunch that such an opportunity should not be too far away.
