Chapter 204: A Dead Chess

The seventh year of Xining, autumn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Beiyan decided to marry Nanli in Qin and Jin, which was a marriage that attracted the attention of the Four Kingdoms, and historians recorded that it was a once-in-a-lifetime wedding in a prosperous era.

The dowry and dowry of the two countries of Beiyan and Nanli are countless rare treasures, not to mention the pomp and momentum, and Dongchen and Xixia also sent gifts to congratulate.

There is a panicked look everywhere in Beiyanjing City, and I don't feel the joy of the upcoming grand wedding.

Cui Zhen, the head of the household department, and He Changyan, the head of the department, got together and muttered:

"I don't know what kind of medicine the emperor sells in this gourd? Such a grand wedding has indeed attracted the attention of the world, but the drawbacks of this are... Hey..."

"Who's to say it isn't? The marriage between the two countries is full of strangeness. ”

"First of all, it is not uncommon for Nanli Kingdom to take the initiative to seek peace and marriage as a defeated country, but it is indeed a preferential treatment for the victorious country to ask Princess Wanxi to marry."

"The weirdest thing is that Emperor Nanli turned out to be the marriage that proton Wei Ruozi begged for."

"It stands to reason that Nanli Kingdom originally wanted to take Princess Wanxi as a hostage to threaten Beiyan, but when it came, he replaced the prince who asked for marriage with Wei Ruozi, didn't he send the sheep into the tiger's mouth and go around the sheepfold again?"

"Beiyan naturally agreed to marry Wanxi to Wei Ruozi, who is a proton in Beiyan, isn't this a 'double guarantee'."

"Ahem, who's to say it's not? This marriage is full of other people's games, one ring after another, interlocking. ”

"If Lord He says so, then isn't the person who is in charge of the game a man of God, and how many variables there are in the marriage between the two countries, can they be counted one by one?"

"No, no, no, the person who does the game is not a god, or rather, not a person."

"Oh?"

"Someone planned the overall situation, and then used subtle things to affect the overall situation, and everyone in the game is a chess piece and a person who does the game."

"This made the old man more confused the more he listened."

"To put it simply, the initiator completely guessed and grasped the minds of the two monarchs, and then used the subtle people and things to advance the development of the situation little by little..."

"Oh! Speaking of which, this person is still extremely terrifying, and he can even pull the whole body..."

But what is the purpose of this man? What does he have to gain from it? ”

"This... The old man didn't understand it, this person painstakingly involved all the people, but no matter what the final consequences were, there was no universal benefit to be gained, but it was more like..."

"More like... A child who doesn't know how to play chess just wants to fill the chessboard with chess pieces and then mess around and use them to play tricks. ”

"Yes, Master Cui's description is very apt."

"But the people who are involved may not have any interests to gain, but will be burdened by trouble."

"Now you and I are not also one or two pieces on a chessboard? It's just that most of us are dead chess pieces that make up the numbers, and they don't have much use. ”

"It's better to just make up the numbers, so as not to be implicated by the situation, my old bones can't withstand any torture."

"But the inconspicuous dead chess is often a sharp blade that breaks the kettle."

"What do you mean..."

"In the opinion of Lord Cui, among the upstarts who are now rising in the DPRK, who is the one who can decide the outcome of the overall situation in a seemingly inconspicuous dead chess?"

"The most inconspicuous dead move... The new magnates... Is it the book repair that makes Hua Yunzheng? ”

"This person is low-key, but he secretly envelops many forces, mixes like a fish in water, and has a delicate relationship with Nanli Proton Wei Ruozi..."

He Changyan pinched his mustache and shook his head pretending to be mysterious.

"Oh? That's... A prime minister who ascended to the sky in one step? ”

"Prime Minister Jun, as the emperor's lonely minister, is indeed a candidate who is willing to saddle the horse without seeking benefits."

He Changyan still shook his head, Cui Zhen didn't follow now, blew his beard and glared:

"Forgive the old man for his clumsiness, and he can't guess the 'new magnates' in the hearts of adults!"

He Changyan explained with a smile:

"Lord Cui, Lord Cui, why don't you guess the best one?"

Cui Zhen reacted and said, "What do you mean... Luo Wushuang? ”

He Changyan nodded at this time and said eloquently:

"Among the upstarts, the most dazzling one is the Jiangnan Luo family, Luo Wushuang, who worships Shaoqing from Sanpin Dali Temple, this person acts casually and perversely, and he is favored by the emperor..."

"But, didn't Lord He let the old man guess the most inconspicuous dead chess, this, this... You are really unkind, deliberately leading the old man to guess in the wrong place. ”

"No, no, the more dazzling it is, the more people ignore other places, don't they?"

Cui Zhen was so little bit by He Changyan, and suddenly realized, because he found that he really didn't know Luo Wushuang, except for those things that were out of line, Luo Wushuang didn't show any weakness in himself.

Cui Zhen patted his head and said: "This is the small hidden in the wild, the middle hidden in the world, and the big hidden in the city!" ”

"But if Luo Wushuang is a dead chess piece that decides the situation, it will also be forced by the emperor or profitable interests, but at the moment, Luo Wushuang is completely unnecessary."

"Didn't Princess Wanxi spread it with her before... said that Luo Wushuang wanted to ask Princess Wanxi to marry, but because of the injury, it was delayed, and the emperor quickly pointed out Princess Wanxi to Nanli Proton Wei Ruozi..."

"These days, I have been in the house **** to buy drunk and nourish emotional injuries... Could it be that this is because of this, so Luo Wushuang will become the most critical chess piece that determines the situation? ”

He Changyan shook his head again and again after listening to Cui Zhen's incoherent analysis, in fact, he was not sure who was the dead chess that decided the situation, but he faintly regarded Luo Wushuang as the first choice in his heart, if it was really as he guessed, I am afraid that anyone could become that 'dead chess', because there was no logic in this chess game.

Cui Zhen saw He Changyan shaking his head again and again, and he couldn't figure out his head, so he had to speak:

"Don't talk about that, even if you guess who the 'dead chess' is, what about that? The initiative to change the situation will not be in our hands. ”

He Changyan thought about it for a while, and then gave up this idea and echoed:

"Master Cui is right, we just need to wait and see what happens."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and continued to drink and talk.

Luofu.

"Lord Luo, do you say that this set of begonia brocade woven with cloud fei makeup and satin looks good or is it a smoky silver luo silk silk brocade dress

Pretty? ”

Wanxi stood in front of the bronze mirror with a bunch of regular clothes and kept gesturing, Luo Wushuang grinned helplessly and smiled:

"The princess is beautiful and fragrant, and naturally everything she wears is beautiful."

Luo Wushuang was very speechless, this Princess Wanxi is a person who wants to be a bride, but Helan Jingheng still opened one eye and closed one eye to allow Wanxi to sneak out of the palace to find herself, and she didn't know what kind of heart An was, Luo Wushuang always felt that Helan Jingheng was quietly yin herself.

Otherwise, a princess who is about to marry has found a foreign minister of her own as a 'boudoir handkerchief', even if Wei Ruozi doesn't think much about it, if Nan Liguo knows, then he has to peel off Luo Wushuang's skin.

In Luo Wushuang's imagination, after Nan Liguo learned the news, a group of ministers gathered around:

"Our imperial concubine is in and out of a foreign minister's house, if the imperial concubine loses her virginity, she has to divide the foreign minister's five horses!"

"Yes, before that, the palace will be executed, and then the bones of the person will be scraped one by one, and then salt water will be poured on the body..."

"Throw it into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave and let it feel the pain that will be unforgettable!"

"And make it a human being!"

Wanxi saw Luo Wushuang holding the tea cup in a daze, put down the clothes in his hand and went over to scare Luo Wushuang and said:

"Lord Luo! What are you thinking..."

Before Wanxi's words were finished, she was doused with the tea in Luo Wu's hands.

Wanxi took a few deep breaths before squeezing out a smile and said, "Thinking so intoxicated..."

Luo Wushuang swallowed his saliva, took out a handkerchief and presented it to Wanxi like a dog's legs:

"Princess..."

"I don't know if the princess has heard recently that washing her face with tea can make her skin white and flawless..."

Wanxi said suspiciously:

"Really?"

Luo Wushuang smiled even more happily when she heard this, and in order to make what she said more convincing, she picked up the remaining half cup of tea and poured it into her hand, then applied the water to it, patted her face and said:

"You see, Weichen often washes his face with tea."

Wanxi took Luo Wushuang's handkerchief to wipe the water stains off her face, sent everyone away, sat back on the chair, and said a little sullenly:

"Lord Luo doesn't want to see Wanxi?"

Luo Wushuang smiled and said modestly: "How can there be..."

But under the pressure of Wanxi's sharp gaze, Luo Wushuang casually continued:

"Yes, Weichen doesn't want to see Princess Wanxi at all..."

"The princess is about to get married, and a foreign minister really wants to avoid suspicion, where do you dare to take the initiative to provoke the princess?"

"These regular clothes are all for Wanxi's casual clothes in the 'rivers and lakes' in the future, Wanxi has been changing and trying different wedding dresses and jewelry these days, and she is really panicked."

Baili Yunzheng, who was far away in Nanli, sneezed a few times in a row, he put down the scroll in his hand, moved his stiff neck left and right, and looked at the broken jade viewing platform on the table and lost his mind.

The jade platform was originally intact, with a double-headed carved lion, which is very worth playing.

Yuguantai is a birthday gift from my father, saying that it is the most suitable time to read, I have always felt that this thing is too fancy and not suitable for placing in the study, but I can't bear the kindness of my father and mother to use it in the study.

One day, my brother came to the study to look for himself, and he had to go to a wine tasting party, where would he be free? So the younger brother was angry and went by himself, but he took advantage of his inattention to quietly take away the Yuguantai, and then caused trouble at the wine tasting party.

When he rushed to the ancestral hall, his younger brother was already only holding a breath, and asked the reason, it turned out that the six princes had fallen in love with the Yuguantai, and they had to use their power to suppress people.

Without saying a word, he started to move, naturally the six princes had the upper hand, and they wanted to smash the jade viewing platform in front of Baili Qingjue, and Baili Qingjue knew the importance of this jade viewing platform in Baili Yunzheng, so he suddenly broke the fence with the six princes in his arms and fell down to the second floor together.

Fortunately, it was the six princes who made the back, and although Baili Qingjue intended to protect the Jade View Terrace as much as possible, the Jade View Deck was still broken into two.

And even more unfortunate is that the sixth prince almost fell half to death, and Baili Qingjie was taken into prison that night, and then it was Wei Ruozi who said it badly, running back and forth... Only then did Baili Qingjue get out of prison, speaking of which, Wei Ruozi was more humane to Baili Qingjue than the people of the Baili family, because as soon as this matter came out, the first result of the discussion in the clan was to abandon Baili Qingjue.

Although Dad is the patriarch, he can't stand the unity, if there is no Wei Ruozi, Baili Qingjue would have turned into a wisp of lonely soul smoke many years ago.

Although the six princes promised not to pursue the matter, they still wanted Baili Qing to hand over the Jade View Tower, so...

After arriving at the ancestral hall, no matter how Daddy beat and scolded, Baili Qing refused to hand over the jade viewing platform.

Even being beaten to his knees on the ground, his mouth overflowing with blood refused to let go of the jade viewing platform, seeing Baili Yunzheng coming, he grinned with blood-stained teeth and smiled, struggled to stand up, and walked to Baili Yunzheng while laughing, and handed the jade viewing platform in his hand to Baili Yunzheng and said:

"Brother, pay you back."

After finishing speaking, he rolled his eyes and fell forward, and Baili Yunzheng held his younger brother in his arms, just like when he was a child.

Baili Yunzheng picked up the only half of the remaining Jade View Platform and played with it, feeling that he suddenly missed that perverse brother a little.

"The eldest young master... The eldest young master..."

A man who looked like a scholar hurriedly ran into the study, and asked in a calm manner:

"What?"

"The lord said... The little master has sent a letter, asking you to go through the main hall. ”

"Okay."

Before Baili Yunzheng wanted to leave, he corrected the scholar again:

"I've said it a few times, don't call me the eldest young master again, I have already been granted an official position, if you make a mistake in front of outsiders, you will be slapped."

The scholar suddenly remembered the laws of Nanli Kingdom, this is not that Baili Yunzheng is mean, but as a henchman who often follows Baili Yunzheng in and out of the court, he must be careful at all times. And this is indeed this article in the law of Nanli Kingdom, which is to slap the mouth at the lightest, and to lose the head at the worst.

That's why the corruption in Nanli is so rampant, and it is also related to the laws of Nanli because it gives the officials of Nanli the supreme glory and respect.

Baili Yunzheng reminded the scholar that he didn't want outsiders to catch the pigtails, and the scholar slapped his mouth bitterly and said:

"Remember, Lord Shaoqing."

Baili Yunzheng relieved his frowning brows at this time, not because the scholar listened to his words, but because he heard a letter from Baili Qing.

The scholar smiled slightly when he saw the rare Baili Yunzheng, today's letter from the little young master really made the eldest young master look better.

When Baili Yunzheng came to the main hall, the main hall was already full of the elders of the Baili family, and he faintly felt uneasy in his heart, could it be that something happened to Baili Qingjue?

The Baili family has always been cultivated by Baili Yunzheng as the next patriarch, and those stubborn elders are also very fond of it (to be continued.) )
