Chapter 18: The World Chess Game
Guo Zhiyuan slipped his head secretly, Zhu Changluo blocked the conversation without waiting for him to finish speaking, obviously unwilling to help Guo Zhengyu come out, but he had already thought of a way to deal with it, and continued to arch his hand unhurriedly: "Then I want to congratulate His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”。
Zhu Changluo was slightly stunned, a little unable to understand the meaning of his words, instantly regained his calm, and said with a wry smile: "This palace is in a difficult situation, it is difficult, and it is in a hurry, how can you be happy?" ”。
Guo Zhiyuan smiled slightly, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince, which is the righteousness of the world, and what is missing is just an opportunity to show himself, and the demon book case shocked the government and the opposition, and everyone in the court and the central forces are in danger, at this time, if the prince can stand up and speak up, it will definitely improve the prestige of the prince, and it can also win more alliances and support for the prince in the court, which is a good opportunity for the prince to expand his influence!" What a joy came down from heaven! ……”。
Zhu Changluo's eyes flashed, and he secretly wondered how powerful the young man in front of him was that Zhao Shizhen said was not a lie, and he was really able to argue, but he was scheming, and he had already made up his mind about the demon book case, and it was impossible for him to be moved by Guo Zhiyuan's words, so he pointed to the chessboard in front of him and said: "The demon book case is very involved, my father has never liked me to discuss the government in vain, and the palace has never quarreled, and he has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the court, so he can only entertain ......himself here."
Guo Zhiyuan saw that Zhu Changluo was still pretending to be and did not break it, he glanced at the chessboard, the chess game was fighting fiercely, and both sides of the game were lacking horses and artillery, so he couldn't bear to see it, so his eyes lit up, and he pointed to the chessboard and smiled slightly: "In the boy's opinion, the general trend of the world is like this chess endgame, killing everywhere, no matter whether His Royal Highness the Prince fights or not, he is already in this chess game, and he can't help ......himself."
"Oh!" Zhu Changluo raised his eyebrows, his eyes were more shining, and he smiled slightly: "Although Guo Shilang has been an official in this palace, he has never told this way of chess with this palace, you are the son of Guo Shilang, you have a family history, and you must also be good at this way of chess, why don't you accompany this palace to play a game?" Have a seat! ……”。
Guo Zhiyuan knew that Zhu Changluo's move was tantamount to saying that he had the qualifications to negotiate, so he honestly and unceremoniously sat down cross-legged opposite Zhu Changluo, took a closer look at the chess game, and was happy in his heart.
Zhu Changluo took the lead, picked up the "car" and went on a rampage, eating the "phase" on Guo Zhiyuan's chessboard, which has become a general's trend! He said with a smile: "In this chess game, this 'phase' is the most useless, it has its name, it can't cross the river to kill the enemy, and it prides itself on being square, only taking the word 'Tian', which is in the way of this chess game, so it is better to abandon ......it."
Of course, Zhu Changluo's words are in his words, and they also represent his true thoughts, the Donglin Party represented by Shen Li and Guo Zhengyu has a straightforward personality and cannot be completely used by Zhu Changluo to become his prince. The party forces have made enemies everywhere, and now they have been hit by Shen Zhengyi's case of borrowing demon books, or they have been placed under house arrest or imprisoned, which has no use value for Zhu Changluo, so he naturally refuses to take the risk and comes out to help Guo Zhengyu speak in this extraordinary period.
Guo Zhiyuan naturally understood Zhu Changluo's voice, and said with a slight smile: "Although the kid doesn't dare to claim to be proficient in chess, he doesn't dare to agree with His Royal Highness the Prince's words, in the kid's opinion, every chess piece in this chess game has its irreplaceable role, and the key is how you use ......."
Zhu Changluo frowned, his face was cloudy, Guo Zhiyuan saw his hesitation, so he simply said it thoroughly, and said loudly: "This 'appearance' is like Shen Ge Lao and my father, they have a square personality, they are not good at greeting, they may not be liked by His Royal Highness the Prince, but they represent the power of public opinion in the government and the opposition, even if the Zhejiang Party is the head of the dynasty and Shen Zheng, they dare not underestimate it, so they will use the demon book case to frame and attack their ......."
"And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must also know that His Royal Highness's ability to sit on the throne of the crown prince is the result of the fierce struggle of the Qingliu public opinion forces represented by Shen Ge Lao and my father, so they are by no means dispensable outcasts, but indispensable arms and supports of His Royal Highness the Prince! His Royal Highness's name of benevolence and righteousness is known to the whole world, and now sitting back and watching his former lecturer in prison, doesn't it make the world feel cold?! ……”。
was praised by Guo Zhiyuan for being sarcastic, Zhu Changluo's face was also a little unbearable, and he said embarrassedly: "If it is not the injustice of the palace, it is really a lonely force, and it is difficult to protect ...... yourself."
Guo Zhiyuan withdrew the "Shi" on the chessboard to defend, blocked the general of Zhu Changluo's "car", and said unhurriedly: "The reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is lonely is because he did not use every chess piece in this chess game well, and it will be difficult to step by step, just like this "Shi", which can only move between these square inches, which seems to be useless, but it is often accompanied by the Son ......of Heaven, and its role cannot be underestimated."
Zhu Changluo's eyes lit up, and he said with understanding: "You mean ......."
"The boy Su Wen Si Supervisor Bingbi Eunuch Chen Changgong is straightforward and generous, and he understands the general situation, His Royal Highness the Prince can recommend the princess Chen Chang to the Holy Lord to try the demon book case, one can be publicized to Chen Chang, making it a big help for His Royal Highness in the inner palace, and the other can also make my father sink his grievances, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, why not do it? ......" Guo Zhiyuan smiled slightly.
(Note: Chen Changgong: refers to Chen Ju, the head of the Dongchang Factory, who was the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor at the time, and the eunuch power was not as invincible as it was later, and Chen Ju was upright and enjoyed a clear reputation, which was a rare positive figure among the eunuchs)
Zhu Changluo was also slightly moved, if he could bring the eunuch forces represented by Chen Ju over, it would indeed be of great help to him, but he was afraid that the truth of the demon book case would be revealed, so he set himself on fire, his fingers lightly tapped the chessboard, and he muttered: "It's still inappropriate, the demon book case has made my father very angry, and I have ordered Shen Xiangzhu to investigate the case, and the palace will rashly recommend it, I am afraid that my father will not like ......."
Guo Zhiyuan saw that Zhu Changluo was still shirking, and he was a little out of breath, and he talked about it in his heart, are you still pretending to be interesting? With a hot head, he blurted out: "What is the truth of this demon book case, is there anyone in this world who knows better than His Royal Highness the Prince?" If you really let that Shen consistently find out the truth, I'm afraid that the prince won't be able to get out of it! ……”。
Zhu Changluo's gaze suddenly turned cold, a murderous intent burst out in his eyes, and he threw the chess pieces in his hand heavily on the chessboard, and said coldly: "Bold!" Are you blackmailing Hongu?! ......", as he fell, several masked men with sharp knives appeared in the hall like ghosts, dressed exactly like the masked assassin who assassinated Zhao Shizhen!
