Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Chess Game

Sima Yao came to collect evidence of his power and usurpation in person under the pretense of visiting the sick, he had such thoughts, how could Sima Daozi not know, a few days ago Wang Gong (Wang Fahui's brother) reported to Sima Yao that he was privately recruiting troops in Yangzhou, and Wang Guobao (Wang Minhui's cousin) overheard it, and Wang Guobao told him everything truthfully.

(The two kings were also cousins, but the former was loyal to Sima Yao, and the latter was attached to Sima Daozi.) )

When Sima Daozi heard Sima Yao's words, he immediately laughed loudly and said: "The younger brother drank too much wine last night, and he was dizzy in the morning, and he couldn't get up, not to mention the early dynasty, so he sent his subordinates into the palace to report to the imperial brother, but I didn't expect the imperial brother to come here to visit the younger brother, which really made the younger brother grateful."

He deliberately avoided talking about Fang Cai, not wanting Sima Yao to come to find fault, so he pretended to laugh and said: "You just misunderstood my kindness, I can't spare you."

Sima Daozi smiled at him, and said, "How does the imperial brother want to punish his younger brother?"

"This ......" Sima Yao pretended to think, and finally said: "It's better to punish you for playing chess with me, if you dare to lose to me, I will have to punish you to go to Goguryeo to endure hardships."

Sima Daozi smiled, answered, and gave Ru Qianqiu a look.

Ru Qianqiu went to move the low table and put it on the soft couch, and then turned around and moved the chessboard chess pieces.

Sima Yao holds the black son, Sima Daozi holds the white son, if these chess pieces are the major scholars who are standing today, then this chessboard is Sima Yao's country, the chess game is like a court game, how can the minister win the king, there is no draw in Go, Sima Daozi can not win, today's loss, he is afraid that he will be determined!

Thinking that he has superb chess skills, he has been the one who won when he played chess with Sima Yao since he was a child, and after winning, he laughed and said that the imperial brother let him every move, but now it is different from the past, winning or losing is a dead end.

He smiled deliberately: "Then this Goguryeo, I'm afraid my brother will not be able to go."

The implication is that he has won, Sima Yao smiled and said nothing, just play the chess pieces.

The two played chess, Sima Daozi was unscrupulous at first, and every step seemed to be forcing Sima Yao to a dead end, but it seemed to be a dead end, but in fact, he deliberately left him a way to live, although Sima Yao's chess skills were not as good as him, but he also saw it.

He praised him and said, "Lao Qi's chess skills are still so exquisite."

Until the last step, Sima Daozi deliberately took the wrong step, so that Sima Yao would survive and win him once.

At the end, before Sima Yao could speak, Sima Daozi preemptively smiled and said: "The younger brother just said a big thing, the imperial brother didn't let the younger brother this time, and the younger brother really lost."

How could Sima Yao not know what he meant, and laughed loudly: "It's the seventh man who let me be."

After that, he suddenly smelled a smell of wine, so he stood up and said intoxicated: "What a smell of wine!" As he spoke, he followed the aroma of wine, went out of the study, and found outside the door of the east chamber, and said, "This is it."

After finishing speaking, he pushed the door and entered, and Sima Daozi followed him into the house.

Sima Yao entered the room and saw a jar of wine on the round table, walked over quickly, opened the jar of wine and sniffed it, turned to face Sima Daozi, and said deliberately seriously: "Old Seven, you ask yourself, where did I treat you badly?"

Hearing this, Sima Daozi was slightly stunned, didn't the imperial brother want to have a showdown with him! He sneered and said, "What does the imperial brother mean, the younger brother doesn't understand."

"I see that you are confused," Sima Yao suddenly sneered, pointed to the wine jar behind him, and said: "You have secretly stored such a fine wine behind my back, and I will punish you for the crime of deceiving the king!"

He alluded to the fact that he was recruiting troops behind his back, Sima Daozi naturally heard it, and he smiled slightly: "Brother Huang forgives his sins, how can his brother hide the wine privately, this wine was given by Prime Minister Xie a few days ago, and the brother has been reluctant to taste it, and he wanted to keep it for a few years, since he is called the emperor brother to see it today, then the brother will not be stingy."

As he spoke, he poured down two glasses of wine, handed one to Sima Yao, and said, "Brother Huang, please."

The two brothers drank until dark, they were both slightly drunk, and although Sima Yao drank well, he was not as drunk as Sima Daozi.

Sima Daozi drank too much wine and wanted to be flattering, but he didn't worry about what Sima Yao would look at while he was away, so he gave Ru Qianqiu a look and told him to keep an eye on Sima Yao.

Whoever wants Sima Daozi to go out on the front foot, Sima Yao will go out with the wine jar on the back foot.

At that time, Tao Ge was in Beiyuan, and suddenly saw a maid who was originally waiting by Xiao's side in Xiyuan come over, and said: "Girl, Aunt Xiao still had a lot of things to take away when she left, and they were all put in the house.

Tao Ge had changed into his nightgown and was about to rest, when he heard that he was going to Xiyuan, he was naturally reluctant, and said lazily: "What are you?"

The maid said: "It's all the jewelry that Aunt Xiao wears on weekdays, and some of it is treasured by Aunt Xiao."

"You have served my sister in the past, so I will divide these things equally among you."

The maid was naturally embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Girl, let's take a look, there are some things, I'm afraid Aunt Xiao brought them from her mother's house."

Tao Ge was still not interested in watching it, but he couldn't resist the maid's repeated requests, and finally went with her.

Thinking that in the past, she and Xiao sat in the house to eat together, talking and laughing, but now there are only utensils and furniture in the house, but Xiao Shi is not seen.

A few maids piled up valuables on the round table, most of them were some gold and silver jewelry, jade jewelry, Tao Ge glanced at it, and suddenly saw a red rope with a bell hanging on it, she suddenly felt familiar, so she went to take it in her hand and looked at it carefully, she remembered the red rope.

She remembered that this red rope was given to her by her mother when she was alive, and she had always loved it when she was young, but unfortunately she couldn't take it away when she left the Xiao family four years ago, but she didn't expect her sister to keep it for her.

Thinking of my sister, and thinking of my mother Yang, and my father, and many unforgettable things when I was young, thinking about it, tears fell without obeying the call, she wiped away her tears, put away the red rope, turned around and said to a few maids: "It's all jewelry, it's not very useful, a few of you see if you like it, just pick some, it's good to keep it as a dowry in the future."

Several maids were overjoyed when they heard this, and said one after another, "Thank you, Miss Taoge."

Tao Ge walked out with the red rope and walked north along the corridor outside the door, and it happened that Sima Yao had no intention of coming here, standing outside the courtyard, and saw her walking by from a distance, and was stunned.

Thinking that Tao Ge and Wang Fahui were very similar, and the side face was also carefully carved out of a mold, Sima Yao looked at her, and was overjoyed for a while, and the woman who was exactly the same as Zitong finally appeared!

He hurriedly chased after him...... (To be continued.) )
