The grounding in the mouth of the prince did not mention the deadline at all, and Xiao Er did not want to get close to the front palace where the prince and the doorman were located, usually in addition to going to the martial arts training field is to spend time reading books in the library, on this day, Xiao Er finished reading a few volumes of books, and when he came out for a walk, he suddenly saw an acquaintance playing with chess pieces under the long pavilion.

The scholar in an ink-colored coat and a felt scarf on his head is not Yan Qingxun?

Xiao Er remembered that he had not been able to visit since he saw him in the main hall of the East Palace half a month ago, so he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yan, good morning." ”

Yan Qingxun raised his head, saw that it was Xiao Er, and said with a smile: "Son-in-law, good morning." Would you like to come and sit? ”

The son-in-law is a very high title for women in this world, even if he is facing these three words, Xiao Er is willing to talk to Yan Qingxun.

Xiao Er bowed his head and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Yan Qingxun handed over a cup of Mengding tea and said, "Son-in-law, please." ”

Xiao Er smiled: "The only thing I know in the qin is water, and the tea is Mengshan." People in the world will enjoy it the most, and I think Mr. Yan will enjoy it the most. ”

Yan Qingxun took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "Dongshan is lying high, when will you please ask for it?" ”

Xiao Er chuckled: "Loose food stream, it's really not what I want." ”

The eyes were attracted by Yan Qingxun's chessboard, which was called "Shanhe Chess", which was first flowed out of the court of the Eastern Qi Jun clan, and was later improved and popularized in the world by hundreds of famous people.

Yan Qingxun asked, "Can you play mountain and river chess?" ”

"A little bit of it. The sunspot is Nanxia, the white is Dayan, and I hold the sunspot. ”

Yan Qingxun said: "One game will determine the winner." ”

Time passed little by little, and before I knew it, it was dusk.

Xiao Er put down the chess pieces and said with annoyance: "I lost." ”

Yan Qingxun fell and said, "It's Nanxia who loses." Today's Southern Xia is not able to compete with Dayan. ”

Xiao Er's eyes cast his eyes on the clouds in the sky, the twilight of dusk, and the remnant sun was like blood, "The world is impermanent, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer." ”

Yan Qingxun smiled, picked up a black spot, and said softly: "Really? ”

Xiao Er watched Yan Qingxun fall down, his eyes were slightly gloomy. glanced at the place where the last piece landed, and was speechless for a while: "Mr. chess is a step higher, and the defeat is a victory, admire!" ”

The chess set on the board is staggered, and the sunspots move like a decided, vertical and horizontal and calm; Baizi brakes with static, and the situation is determined by movement. Take a closer look, it is actually a chess game, and each one sees the real chapter.

Xiao Er became more and more aware that he had already fallen into the trap laid by Yan Qingxun.

Removing his gaze from the chessboard, Xiao Er said: "Take precautions, don't use the hidden dragon; Kang Long had remorse, and the abyss stopped. Mr. Yan's heavenly skills are thanks to Mr. Yan's teaching. ”

Yan Qingxun said: "Boguan makes an appointment, accumulates a lot, and so does the son-in-law." ”

Xiao Er smiled slightly, thought about it, and said unclearly: "Watching the world with chess, chess is also a gambling game." The son is a soldier, the country is a gamble, and the heroes are not in vain. So, Mr. is also gambling? ”

Yan Qingxun smiled faintly: "Yan rarely does things with unknown endings. ”

Xiao Er asked: "Really?" ”

"Naturally. I am a minister, and I should live for Your Highness until death. ”

Night fell quietly, and there was silence all around, only the chirping of spring insects fell unexpectedly in my ears. A hazy moon emerges from the clouds, casting a silvery glow on the ground.

Xiao Er smiled slightly, like a good Huayu, warm and light, as if the temptation just now was just a joke on a whim.

Yan Qingxun raised his eyes, and looked at Xiao Er's eyes as deep as Tan Di, and he was in a trance for a while. The moonlight is cold, but the eyebrows and eyes of the people in front of him are gentle, but unfortunately the smile is not yet in the eyes.

After a pause, Yan Qingxun finally spoke: "Yan used to use his son-in-law in and out of the book pavilion until he accidentally read the annotations of the book, which was quite insightful. If the son-in-law is interested in the future, she can come to the library to exchange and debate with Yan. ”

Xiao Er had heard earlier that Yan Qingxun had inherited the Lingyuan Valley of "famous people all over the world", reading the past and the present, and judging the situation.

Now that we have a conversation, it is indeed worthy of the name, and if we get this opportunity, it will be a blessing, so I responded: "Thank you Mr. Yan for your attention." ”

When Yan Qingxun heard this, he was relieved for a moment, and said with a smile: "The son-in-law is really fast!" ”

In the days that followed, the exchanges between Xiao Er and Yan Qingxun often had their own opinions and fierce debates, which could be described as quite rewarding.

has intersected several times, and Yan Qingxun is Xiao Er's rare friend in the East Palace. Maybe his friends can't talk about it, but he is a person who rarely appreciates Xiao Er in the entire East Palace, and has something to talk about with Xiao Er.

On this day, Yan Qingxun suddenly asked: "Yan has something to ask his son-in-law." A few days ago, Yan picked up half a bamboo slip engraved with a clever plan in the East Palace, I don't know if the son-in-law has an impression? ”

Xiao Er seemed reluctant to talk about this, and said, "Sir, should I ask the fourth brother, what is a thief who can't read a few big words?" ”

The corners of Yan Qingxun's mouth hooked slightly, and said: "That half of the fake bamboo slips will happen in the east window in a few days, why do you pretend not to know?" The fourth son is pampered, how can he use the decayed simple lettering that has been eaten by insects. And if it is copied again, it does not match the handwriting of the previous bamboo slips, and the flaws are even greater. From the very beginning, he was already full of flaws. Whether it is a frank recommendation like Yan or taking it for herself, the son-in-law can occupy an absolute advantage, and it is really lofty to walk in front of the prince. ”

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Yan Qingxun saw the fake bamboo slips but didn't say much, but helped himself. Thanks to the fourth brother, he brought his cronies on weekdays and squeezed out Yan Qingxun in many ways, he deserved it!

Yan Qingxun said: "What is the son-in-law's plan, Yan will never interfere." It's just that although I know the flaws after thinking about it, I can't think of a perfect solution. I wonder if the son-in-law can give advice? ”

"Sir, you might as well come and hear it."

"The first flaw is that the fake bamboo slip once promised the opportunity to make a comeback against the king, which is indeed very tempting to him, but the king will not believe it, and the prince can't do it. It seems to be perfect, but it is a waste move. If the best promise is made--"

The two said in unison: "King Qin's head!" ”

Yan Qingxun's eyes softened when he looked at Xiao Er, and continued: "The second flaw lies in the core strategy to deal with King Qin, although it is indeed ridiculous to let the anti-king commit suicide, but ...... Yan couldn't think of a perfect solution. Either the risk is too great, or the King of Qin is crazy to fight back......"

Xiao Er said: "Mr. still remember the battle between Chu and Han in the past, Fan Zeng once said something to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu?" ”

Hearing this, Yan Qingxun pondered for a long time, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly said: "Let the anti-king accept the invitation to surrender to Beijing, and set up a Hongmen banquet with his hand." ”

Xiao Er nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, if you advance like this, you can get rid of King Qin, and if you retreat, you can let the anti-king escape, and treat King Qin for the crime of ineffectiveness." ”

Yan Qingxun said convincingly: "Bow to the wind." ”

At this moment, he realized that if the crown prince still wanted to deal with the King of Qin, the success of one and a half times was not more important than winning over such a person.

Xiao Er didn't know what Yan Qingxun was thinking, so he brought up another thing and said, "The person who transferred the guards since the day of the grounding, and at the same time deliberately ordered me to pick up the pass token, must be Mr., right?" ”

"Yan is incompetent, so if you make this decision, I hope that the son-in-law will not blame."

Xiao Er asked, "Sir, aren't you afraid that someone will slander the prince?" As far as I know, Mr.'s life in the East Palace is actually not very easy. ”

Yan Qingxun didn't answer, but Xiao Er was not ready to let him go, and continued to ask: "The little girl heard that Mr. was once a first-class strategist of the Qin Palace. Since he is highly valued, why is he willing to go undercover for the prince? Mr. set up a plot to assassinate the King of Qin, and although he was lucky enough to get his life back, he almost ended up ruined. Now the old Lord is eager to get rid of you quickly, and the new Lord is not as dependent on you as he used to be. Some of the prince's children and disciples are shameless to be in the company of rebellious scum, and some are hated to replace Mr. Mr. has ever regretted his decision? ”

Yan Qingxun shook his head and said, "What's worth it when it comes to the word loyalty?" What do others think of me, and what does it matter to me? Be loyal to the Lord, repay the kindness of the past, and be the duty of a 'scholar'. ”

"It is said that good birds choose trees to perch on, sir, is it worth it?" She asked.

The prince values Yan Qingxun's talents, but he is afraid of talking to others and refuses to reuse them in the open. Therefore, the suppression of children is not restrained, and the bullying of customers is pretended to be ignorant. Even though Yan Qingxun is sorry for King Qin and the people of the world, he is only worthy of him!

Yan Qingxun lowered his eyes and said, "Zifei fish knows the bitterness and joy of fish? The soldier died as a confidant, and the officials of the Qin King and his party were eager to stare at the mistakes of the East Palace, and His Royal Highness was now like being roasted on the fire all the time. If it is out of my big handle, how can His Highness's storage position be stable? ”

Xiao Er didn't agree with this kind of willing behavior, so he said, "I'll tell my husband a story." A friend of mine used to make decisions for me and only informed me afterwards. Even if I had known at the time, I would probably have made the same decision, but if he had told me in time, I would have felt respected. ”

Just as Yan Qingxun understands the prince's difficulties, whether the prince is willing to make efforts for this is another matter.

Yan Qingxun smiled faintly and didn't say anything, how could a person who was extremely demanding of herself persuade her to be tolerant of others? Even if that person was her father.

"The son-in-law is wise, and the disciples who take refuge in your command in the future are blessed."

"I treat Mr. with sincerity, and Mr. will be heartbroken when he says this." Seeing that the people were unmoved, Xiao Er changed his mind and continued: "How dare I, a much-despised concubine, dare to think of this? ”

Yan Qingxun knew that the girl in front of him was not a person who listened to persuasion easily, so he only said: "The honor and disgrace of the family are closely related to yourself, and it is difficult for you to be alone if you have the ability to go to the sky." ”

Xiao Er said: "Mr. is honest, and I will tell you frankly." If a gentleman is like me, full of hope to meet the Lord, his heart is robbed, his reputation is slandered, and he is humiliated many times, will you still be loyal to such a person? ”

"Never!" Yan Qingxun said: "But there is an inseparable blood between the son-in-law and His Royal Highness the Prince, and the strategist can vote for his master, but you can't." ”

Xiao Er sneered and said, "I'm just a little girl, rootless duckweed." With the prestige of the prince and the talent of Mr. Yan, if I don't know how to lift, let me 'disappear', and from then on, the whole value of keeping me alive from now on is to make suggestions for the East Palace silently. Is it? ”
