Chapter 13 Chess Pairs
Mother Bai was playing with the cute little white fox in her arms, and Yin'er waited aside, making herself a well-behaved daughter-in-law. On the other side of the room www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion, Zhan Bai and his father sat on both sides of the chess game under the service of the piano sound.
Zhan Bai can play chess, but his chess skills are difficult to disagree, but fortunately, the father and son don't really want to distinguish between high and low in the chess game.
"Last month, your cousin Liangchen gave birth to a son, named Uncle Zhan, Uncle Zhan." As Zhan Aotian spoke, he dropped the white seed in his hand, and immediately swallowed Zhan Bai's three black seeds.
On the chessboard, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, but Zhan Bai has no consciousness of admitting defeat at all, and Zhan Aotian has no unforgiving people, and the offensive launched is tepid.
"Heh, is this a fight with uncle?" Zhan Bai chuckled lightly, not paying too much attention.
Zhanbai's generation, the generations are divided into "good", such as Zhan Liangyuan, Zhan Liangchen, as for the next generation, it is definitely not "uncle".
When Yin'er named her son, she didn't take into account her seniority, and it was based on her own preferences. Unexpectedly, such an unintentional move, coupled with Uncle Zhan's fire, would replace the original "Hui" character on the Zhan family tree.
According to Zhan Aotian, after the discussion of several older generations such as Zhan Caigu, the word "uncle" was corrected, while "Hui" was postponed by one generation. For this reason, regardless of the descendants in the family, the people of the same generation all changed the original "Hui" character to "uncle" and wrote it into the family tree.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is already a big event, but for the core figure of the exhibition, it is just an elegant taste.
"Yudu has already left the Zhan family and gone to the Spring and Autumn Continent, and he accepted the recruitment of the Qin State." Zhan Aotian continued.
"Well, that's in his temperament." Zhanbai didn't have too many surprises.
Taking advantage of the situation was originally what Yudu was best at.
The Spring and Autumn Continent belongs to this world, and in another world history in Zhanbai's memory, there is also such a very similar history, which is called the war country.
In that world history, there were seven heroes in the Warring States, but in the end, they swept away the Qin State and completed the unification.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or some kind of inevitability, Zhanbai believes that in the Spring and Autumn Continent in this world, the Qin State must also be the strongest or the most potential among the many vassal states, otherwise it will definitely not be favored by the capital of Xu.
It's just the Spring and Autumn Continent of this world, can the Qin State still complete the great cause of unification?
Zhan Bai is conservative about this answer.
Thinking of the Chu State he chose, Zhanbai couldn't help but think of another interesting thing.
In the previous life, the Qin State unified the country and ended the Warring States disputes. originally thought of thousands of generations, but finally the second, if you really talk about it, it seems that the one who destroyed the Great Qin Dynasty was the overlord Xiang Yu, who claimed to be a descendant of the Chu State.
"It's interesting, it's really interesting." Zhan Bai laughed inexplicably, which aroused the confusion of his father Zhan Aotian, but in the end he didn't ask.
"Father, I don't know what kind of help my Zhan family has given to Xudu?" After laughing, Zhan Bai asked.
"This son is both civil and military, his talent is amazing, and he has a good father-in-law. Your sixth uncle was also extremely generous, and did not hesitate to select a hundred people from the personal guards of the head of the family he had just formed, and went with him to act as guards. Zhan Aotian replied.
Zhan Bai sighed slightly, "Father, I don't know if the military commander or the military general is chosen by Xudu?" ”
"Wenchen, to be exact, it should be a strategist." Zhan Aotian replied.
The strategist is a special being ****** Wenchen, who will not hold any position, but has the power that is not inferior to that of Wenchen. Compared with the civil ministers, the advisors are no longer loyal to the state, but to their lord alone. In other words, the power of a strategist does not depend on the laws of the country and the family, but on the status and trust of the lord.
If the lord is strong, the strategist is strong. If the trust is high, the strategist is strong. If the lord to whom he is loyal becomes the king of a country, and if he has more of his cronies, he can even reach the point of leaning towards the government and the opposition, and achieve a generation of "hidden appearance".
To sum up, the strategist is a think-tank type of civil servant.
"Hey, those who know me, too." After learning of Xudu's choice, Zhan Bai sighed for no reason.
Before, when Ning Xiaoning asked Zhanbai about his choice, Zhanbai didn't actually tell the truth.
In fact, although Zhanbai did not give Gongzi Jun a clear answer, he already had a choice in his heart, and that was the strategist.
This kind of decision is not made arbitrarily, but the most appropriate choice made according to reality.
In the Chu State, Zhan Caigu is already ranked among the three princes and one of the big princes, but if the monarch of the Chu State has a little political acumen, in order to balance the distribution of power between the court and the Chinese government and prevent one family from becoming the majority, it will inevitably greatly limit the power of the Zhan family. In this way, if Zhanbai chooses to enter the court as an official, he will inevitably be constrained.
Besides, what the people of Chu really value Zhanbai is only Gongzi Jun.
In this way, becoming Gongzijun's strategist naturally becomes the best choice for Zhanbai.
As for the generals, Zhanbai actually didn't think about it from the beginning.
Compared to playing with intrigue and trickery, Zhanbai really doesn't like the kind of character who is ordered by others to charge ahead.
Zhanbai believes that it is precisely because he sees through his choice that he will choose to become a strategist in the same way.
It seems that no one but himself can arouse even the slightest interest in him.
"Where's the second brother?" Zhan Bai suddenly asked.
So far, how can Zhan Aotian not see the ugliness between the two brothers, when he thinks of this question, his mind hurts a little.
"Originally, your second brother was reluctant to enter the Spring and Autumn Period, but in the end, under the pressure of your grandfather and me, he still compromised. He accepted the solicitation of your fourth grandfather and fifth grandfather, and became the Huya general of Qi in one fell swoop, and he was about to leave soon. Zhan Aotian said this, and it was difficult to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Zhan Bai knew why his father was disappointed.
The so-called Jackie Chan, although the Zhan family did not force the choice of children, it obviously still valued Wenchen more.
After all, for a family, strong force is indeed indispensable, but the wisdom of the city government is the responsibility of the family.
Just look at Zhan Caigu's generation, among the six brothers, except for Zhan Caishen, who went to see the home nursing home, the other five, only Zhan Caibao is a military general, and his right to speak is the lowest among the brothers.
Zhan Liangyuan chose a military general according to his own preferences, which undoubtedly made Zhan Aotian feel disgraced. I can't say, it is precisely for this reason that I took my wife to visit my grandson in the name of suddenly driving to the Sword Pavilion and staggered the time to see off Zhan Liangyuan.
"The so-called children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the father should not disturb them. Maybe one day the second brother will become a general, so his status is not much compared to his grandfather's big Sikong. Zhan Bai reassured, although he also knew that this probability was almost none.
Unlike Wenchen, the promotion of military generals is difficult to climb to the sky, and there is no shortcut to go, only relying on military exploits. Not to mention, there is no major war in the Spring and Autumn Continent now, and even if there is, it will be a life of nine deaths. Moreover, the general is really high and powerful, and I heard Gongzi Jun say that the Spring and Autumn Kingdoms rarely passed this position to outsiders, and most of them were held by the imperial relatives and nobles.
"Oops, I lost, I lost." Zhan Bai bowed his head fiercely, as if he had just seen the chess game at this time, and smiled and surrendered.
That's where the conversation shifts.
"What are you going to do?" While retracting his white only on the chess game, Zhan Aotian finally couldn't help but ask. (To be continued.) )
