Chapter 66

The jujube trees in the front yard of Guozijian have begun to draw new branches, which indicates that the cold winter in Chang'an has passed.

The warm sun of early spring, under the early trees, above the chessboard, criss-crossed, black and white fighting, a game of chess stalemate, seems to be a draw.

The two old men sat opposite each other, wearing wide white robes, concentrating, and under a closer look, one of them was the old naughty man who pretended to be a homeless person yesterday and mixed into the academy, he was suddenly happy, picked up a white chess piece between his fingers, and decisively fell into the chessboard, playing chess with extraordinary momentum.

The other old man was not annoyed, but shouted: "Good chess! ”

With just one move, the board immediately changed the stalemate that had existed before, and white firmly gained life, and with only a few more moves, black would fall into a dead end, while white would occupy the board.

This is the charm of Go, one more move, one less move, one more move, one less move, it will be different.

It turned out that the old man who infiltrated the academy was Situ of the Chu Dynasty, one of the three dukes, and a product of official residence, named Ge Liuyuan, and he said: "Brother Wang, I have conceded." ”

The old man opposite Ge Liuyuan was also one of the three dukes of the Chu Dynasty, and he held the position of Sikong, named Wang Jing. He smiled and said: "The chess game is like a battle game, how can you say it?" Er chess is a step higher, Wang admires, willing to gamble and lose, today I will go to the Dark Fragrance Pavilion to find out, to see what kind of fairy nest that woman has built. ”

Ge Liuyuan smiled and said: "Yesterday I pretended to be a homeless person and painted ashes on my face, and you want to enter the Dark Incense Pavilion today, but you are pretending to be a rich and noble family, so you still make a profit, and I lose." ”

Although Wang Jing was willing to gamble and lose, he wondered why Ge Liuyuan had to go to explore a shop, and asked: "Master Ge, Wang is not talented, and he is very puzzled, you value that woman so much?" Could it be that this woman is really a genius? ”

Ge Liuyuan picked up the chess piece he had just played, put it in front of Wang Jing, and said: "She is like this chess piece that reverses the situation, she plays chess step by step, just seeking a turnaround, and she is this turnaround." ”

Hearing Ge Liuyuan say this, Wang Jing became more and more curious, and asked, "How did Lord Ge dig up such a strange woman?" ”

"That's a coincidence." Ge Liuyuan said, "A few days ago, I passed by Beizhuang, you know, Beizhuang has always been the most barren Zhuangzi in Chang'an City, that day, I actually saw a few children squatting in front of the house, writing on the ground with branches, if it is only one or two children, it is not surprising, and when I go further, I found a few older children arguing about the problem of pheasant and rabbit cages, that is really shocking me, I thought to myself, when did a barren Zhuangzi have so many children who read, could it be that there are gods here to guide me? ”

Wang Jing was also shocked, if it was just literacy, it would not be surprising, but the problem of pheasants and rabbits in the same cage, when would even children be able to solve it? He hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Ge Liuyuan continued: "I have doubts in my heart, I went to Beizhuang again the next day, and this time it really scared me. Brother Wang, let me ask you, how many people can have a full meal in Chang'an City now? ”

Wang Jingdao: "Seven or eight times out of ten, tenant farmers can't eat enough and dress warmly. ”

Ge Liuyuan nodded and said, "But I found that the tenant farmers in Beizhuang are now full of food!" Obviously, a year ago, he was a poor Zhuangzi who changed his son for food, and this year's harvest was not good, why can everyone eat a hot meal, and children can read and understand etiquette...... I had no choice but to continue to investigate in secret. ”

"It's a pity that the people in the village are all tight-lipped like bottles, I sent people to follow and investigate day and night, only to find some signs, now I only know that Beizhuang, Sanwei Academy, Jingwang Mansion, Dark Fragrance Pavilion, there is an inseparable connection between these four, and a qiē all point to a genius woman, Princess Jing."

Ge Liuyuan said that Princess Jing was amazing, but Wang Jing was still skeptical, after all, it is not easy to get the entire Zhuangzi out of poverty and become rich in a year, how can a woman have such ability?

Seeing that Wang Jing didn't believe it, Ge Liuyuan asked, "Brother Wang, I know this is a bit unbelievable, but guess who I saw when I infiltrated that academy yesterday." ”

"Who?"

"Han Ke, Han University Scholar! Even a person like Han Ke, who only reads books, is definitely not something that can be touched by gold and silver, but he was dug up like this, do you think this academy can be simple? ”

Wang Jing fell into thought, if it was really as Ge Liuyuan said, then this woman would be too rebellious. In the middle of the ring, he asked, "Then Master Ge, are you going to use her to save the current situation?" ”

At present, the most urgent thing is the homeless, the wolf is very hungry will eat people, and the people are very hungry will grab food, if there is really turmoil in the capital, the court has been a bad heart of the rebels, will not let go of this opportunity.

When the Chu Dynasty was in chaos, the Southern Barbarians, the Northern Yi and the Western Xiongnu would naturally follow and stab the knife.

It's a problem that affects the whole body.

Ge Liuyuan nodded and said, "That's right! A few days ago, I came to report that the Xiongnu invaded in the northwest of my Chu Dynasty, burned, killed and plundered, and a large number of people fled to the east, and now only the first batch of people arrived in Chang'an City, there are already thousands of people, if they all migrate over, I am afraid that there will be three or five thousand people, this problem has to be carefully considered. ”

Wang Jing was more optimistic than Ge Liuyuan, and said: "This morning, the emperor has issued an edict to open a warehouse and release grain, I believe that the displaced people will be able to receive the national grain in a few days, and after this period of time, Lord Ge does not have to worry too much." ”

Ge Liuyuan shook his head and frowned: "What are the characters in the court now, you and I both know very well, how much grain can be distributed to the people when opening a warehouse for grain relief?" Even if it is distributed to the people, they have endured this period of time, and the food is gone, where should they go to find food again? It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, as the Situ of the country, I should consider more, and it is my duty to resettle and resettle the displaced people. ”

"Then you can't pin your hopes on a princess, let alone that she is not in Chang'an at this time." Wang Jing persuaded that he still didn't believe that a woman could solve such a problem.

The doctor doesn't rely on himself to rely on a woman, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth when it is passed out?

Ge Liuyuan said: "My spy said that she and Prince Jing will return to Chang'an in the near future, and if you want them to make a move, you must make plans as soon as possible." ”

Wang Jing saw that Ge Liuyuan was so obsessed with this matter, and he didn't do much persuasion, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, maybe there was a glimmer of hope, if the problem of the homeless people was dealt with by him Wang Jing, I am afraid he would also have more than enough heart and not enough strength.

Now that the emperor is old, he has been lying on the sickbed for a long time, the court has formed a gang and a strict faction, and the strength of the Chu Dynasty is not as good as before, otherwise, how dare the Huns come to invade my northwest in winter, and how can they be exiled?

Wang Jing understood that Ge Liuyuan valued Princess Jing so much, and naturally he would have his reasoning, and maybe there was a deeper secret that Ge Liuyuan hadn't told him yet.

Wang Jing asked, "How is Lord Nage going to control Princess Najing?" With King Jing here, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

Ge Liuyuan said: "Others can control it, but the phoenix in the sky, no one can control it, I never thought of controlling her, after these days of exploration, the old man can only admire her, and the old man is willing to be controlled by her." ”

Wang Jing's color changed suddenly. He said in a low voice: "Lord Ge should speak quietly, in the world of the Chu Dynasty, only the queen can be called a phoenix, and Lord Ge will be killed if this word is spread!" ”

Ge Liuyuan didn't care about it, and continued: "I'm not afraid of this, in the old man's opinion, whoever can calm the world is the dragon, and whoever can assist the king to make the people live and work in peace and contentment is the phoenix!" ”
