When the eunuch heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly handed over a handkerchief and tea.

After Xiuce took it, he wiped the sweat off his head and took off his hat.

If this bareheaded was in the past, there would definitely be people who scolded Xiuce for being rude, but now everyone's hearts are on this chessboard, and no one cares about Xiuce's rude move.

After a while, Fan Shimin breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he picked up the teacup, his hands were trembling, and the tea lid kept shaking.

Seeing this situation, the ministers hurriedly stepped forward, and at this time, Fan Shimin held the teacup and let Fan Shimin drink tea slowly.

After Fan Shimin drank tea, it was the end of the show.

After the two hands, Zhu Jixin also entered the closing stage, although Zhu Jixin did not tremble, but this tea was drunk, and it immediately turned into sweat and stayed.

Liu Shufu and Shi Budo have also entered the closing stage one after another, and now Huang Shilong is left to fight in the middle game.

People outside are also discussing, and at this time, the chess edict also began to talk, and the ending is not clear, the victory or defeat is between one or two sons, and the situation is still very delicate.

The deputy envoy of the Xuanwu Kingdom said to the envoy: "My lord, this time, I'm afraid that the celebrity of Xiuce will be defeated here." ”

"It seems that yes, this Huang Shilong looks dangerous, but he is doing a Panyan Dragon, if it was before, Xiuce celebrities would have beaten Huang Shilong a long time ago, but now it is really difficult to fight with five people."

The deputy envoy said yes, these five people are all first-class masters, and any one of them will have to work hard under Xiu Ce, and now it is even more difficult to go down with the five of them.

Time passed slowly as everyone cared about it, and the fan in Huang Shilong's hand was also closed, Huang Shilong looked at the chess board, thought for a long time, and finally put that one down.

This son went down, even if his big dragon was saved, Xiuce saw this situation, picked up the chess piece, and prepared to go down, at this time he coughed, wow, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

With such a big change, the eunuch immediately told the sage: "Sage, Xiuce Guoshou vomited blood." ”

When the sage heard this, he lifted the curtain and said, "Pass the imperial doctor and seal the plate." ”

When the five of them heard this, they immediately collapsed there, and at this time, Xiuce staggered, put down the chess pieces he picked up, and continued to play.

The five of them didn't know what to do, but when the sage saw this situation, he said with a cold look in his eyes: "Since Xiu Ce Guoju is willing to continue playing chess, then you can continue." ”

"Yui."

The five of them played a quarter of an hour again, Fan Shimin won with two sons, and the next thing was Zhu Jixin, Liu Shufu, Shi Budo, and Huang Shilong won with one son and won all five games.

When the hundred officials who were watching the chess outside saw this situation, they danced with their hands, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and said: "My emperor Shengming, long live the saint, long live, long live." ”

The saint also ordered that a feast be held today to entertain both sides.

The saint was not stingy with rewards, and sealed five people as chess to be edicted, from six lives, Xiuce to a piece of jade pendant rewarded by the saint.

After everyone thanked him, they all withdrew from the main hall.

At this time, the envoys of the southern kingdom also came up to ask for sin, they said that the southern countries had never come to pay tribute, so they did not understand the rules of the Central Plains, and asked the saint to forgive them.

Naturally, the saints would not punish them, and the envoys of the southern kingdom also said their intentions, they heard that the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains was the holy king of the wheel, and it was the Buddha who descended to earth, purified all sentient beings, and was blessed by a hundred gods, so they came to meet them.

Saying that, the envoy of the southern kingdom also handed over the offerings, among which were the seven treasures, and this offering of the seven treasures showed that the saints were exactly what they thought.

"In the past, when Emperor Taizu Gao, there was a saying that the Wheel Holy King ruled the Central Plains, and the Central Plains monks thought that it should be on Emperor Gao, and now it seems that it should be on you, the Holy Son of Heaven."

When the sage heard this, he smiled and said, "No wonder I always have a heart out of the dust, it is so, it is so. ”

The ministers congratulated again, and the saint was happy.

Next, the banquet was held, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, so it was not lively, and it was more lively than last year's Qiansu banquet.

After the dinner, everyone left, and the five national players had no place to stay, so they could only go to the Lin Mansion.

When they arrived at the Lin Mansion, Lin Duowen didn't talk to them much, and the five national players were very tired, so they went down to rest.

But Lin Duowen couldn't sleep, this matter ended like this, but he didn't feel the slightest sense of relief.

Lin Duowen felt a kind of tiredness, and he didn't know where this kind of tiredness came from.

Lin Duowen sat and sit, and suddenly fell asleep, in the dream he seemed to see his father, Lin Quan seemed to say something to him, but he didn't understand the most, he looked at Lin Quan's anxious appearance, his heart was also tight, and he was about to lean forward, and suddenly, he woke up.

Lin Duowen looked around, but he was confused. At this time, a maid stepped forward and said to Lin Duowen: "Master Hou, you should go back to your room to rest." ”

Lin Duowen nodded, returned to his room, this time he was not dreaming, after he woke up, it was already three strokes in the sun.

After Lin Duo smelled it, the housekeeper handed over the post, and Lin Duowen said casually: "Who's it, it must be because of the recommended thing, you can push it for me." ”

"Master Hou, it's Gongzi Fu's post."

When Lin Duowen heard this, he couldn't help but take a closer look at the worship post, and saw that it said that he came to visit this afternoon, Lin Duowen said, "Go and prepare, and entertain Fu Gongzi well." ”

In the afternoon, when Fu Gongzi arrived, Lin Duowen personally greeted him at the door, Fu Gongzi got out of the carriage and said to Lin Duowen: "There is no need to be so polite, Dingbei Hou please." ”

Lin Duowen said that it should be, and made a gesture of please, and Fu Gongzi also made a gesture of please, and then Fu Gongzi walked around first.

Fu Gongzi and Lin Duowen went to the living room together, the two sides saluted again, and after they took their seats, Fu Gongzi said to Lin Duowen: "Dingbei Hou, Fu Mou's visit this time must have been beyond your expectations." ”

Lin Duowen nodded, this was something he really didn't expect, Fu Gongzi said to Lin Duowen: "Presumably Beihou also knows about the matter between me and Brother Ling." I speak very straight, Brother Ling, Fu Mou looks down on him, but for Dingbei Hou, Fu Mou admires him very much. ”

Lin Duowen didn't know whether he was happy or angry, so he had to listen quietly to see what Fu Gongzi was going to say.

Fu Gongzi continued: "Of course, it's not the Marquis of Dingbei, you are the Marquis, the former general of Rong. Outsiders may think that Dingbei Hou has a higher official position than your brother and is more favored than your brother, but in Fu's opinion, Brother Ling is the holy family Zhengnong, he is the auxiliary minister, Dingbei Hou You should not have been entrusted with this important responsibility. ”

Lin Duowen nodded, this is true, his brother should be the minister of Tuogu, and after the new emperor ascends the throne, the throne is indispensable.

As for himself, if he has been a military attache all his life, then he will definitely not be as good as his brother.

Fu Gongzi continued to say to Lin Duowen: "I value you because you learned, in fact, at the beginning, Fu thought that you didn't learn and didn't know how to learn, that was Fu's prejudice, Fu is here, I won't compensate you first." ”

Lin Duowen didn't even dare to say that he didn't dare, Fu Gongzi said that he had done a good job to pacify the rebellion of the enemy Di people, if he led people to go on his behalf, he might not be able to do so well, and this time the royal game, Lin Duowen recommended it properly, and the five national players deserved it.

Lin Duowen was about to say that three of them were recommended by his brother, but Fu Gongzi didn't give him a chance, and kept talking.

Fu Gongzi said that after the new emperor ascended the throne in the future, he would definitely recommend Lin Duowen in front of the eldest prince, so that Lin Duowen could be reused. At that time, if Lin Duowen served as the chief priest, they would be able to comprehensively reform the military system of the Yu Dynasty.

Fu Gongzi said that now the Xiang army lacks exercise, and there are too many forbidden troops, these people are empty of food and salary, Fu Gongzi thinks that the forbidden army should be cut off to 50,000 people, as for the Xiang army, it should also be halved.

This number is large, if it is not trained, it is wasted, the Song Dynasty can be said to have a large number of soldiers, but this elite is controlled by the feudal town, as for the army of the imperial court, it is large and useless.

Therefore, Fu Gongzi thought that the soldiers should be streamlined, and after these soldiers returned, they could cultivate the fields, so that there would be one more cultivator and one less person who would eat grain in the world.

Lin Duowen didn't sound right, how wrong it was, he couldn't say, he could only say yes.

When Fu Gongzi finished his thoughts and asked Lin Duowen's opinion, Lin Duowen suddenly thought of what Li Changji said to himself, so he relayed it.

After Fu Gongzi heard this, he felt the same way, he smiled and said: "It's really the same as the hero's vision, Dingbei Hou, you are the big Si Heng, you are decided." ”

At this time, the housekeeper stepped forward and told the two that dinner was ready, Lin Duowen made a gesture of please, so Fu Gongzi went to eat.

After dinner, Fu Gongzi continued to say that Fu Gongzi was an assertive person, and there were many things he was dissatisfied with in this court, so he naturally had to change.

These words were undoubtedly playing the piano to the cow, and Lin Duo only dozed off when he heard it, and fell asleep unconsciously.

This Fu Gongzi said and asked Lin Duowen, and saw that Lin Duowen was already asleep, so he shut up.

The housekeeper said to Fu Gongzi: "Fu Gongzi, these days, my Hou Ye has not slept well. ”

"It's me who is confused, such a big thing, how can he rest well, okay, I'll leave first, and I'll visit you another day."

"Master Fu, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, it's a trivial matter, why don't you mind, after Dingbei Hou wakes up, if you ask, just say that I said the same, so he doesn't have to worry."

The housekeeper nodded, and asked people to drape the big coat on Lin Duowen's body, and let people carry Lin Duowen back to his couch to rest.

————

After dawn, after Lin Duowen woke up, he asked the housekeeper, "When did I fall asleep yesterday?" ”

The housekeeper told the matter for a while, and Lin Duowen said that it was rude, rude, why didn't the housekeeper wake him up at that time.

"Master Hou, you haven't slept well these days, how dare we wake you up." The housekeeper said to Lin Duowen with some concern.
