Chapter 64: The chess room swept away the fear of the princes
Wei Ying turned around, but saw a handsome cloth man ushered in, "I heard that Mr. is quite proficient, I don't know if you are willing to teach?" ”
Wei Ying was surprised: "Who are you?" How do I know I like chess? The cloth cloth said: "It's just a bachelor." Anyi City has no secrets about Dong Xiangchun. ”
When Wei Ying heard that it was a scholar from You, he couldn't help but smile with relief: "I don't have this thought today, if I meet next time, I will definitely ask for advice." Bu Yishi said: "Dong Xiangchun can be talked about by hand, and can be widely heard, why don't you patronize Mr." ”
Wei Ying laughed teasingly: "How much patronage? Dongxiang Chunbo is as golden as the sea, but I am afraid that it will become a Gu Guang. The cloth man was amused and laughed, and suddenly smiled mischievously like a child, "Where are you afraid of it?" The Dongxiangchun chess room has never taken a penny. Besides, they asked me to plan a renovation of the private room and allowed me to have a good friend visit. ”
Seeing that he was as innocent as a young man, Wei Ying's childlike innocence suddenly rose, and he laughed and said, "Then I'll say, find such a cloth cloth to study?" His hand gestured to his delicate appearance. The cloth man actually blushed and smiled: "You don't need it, I will know when you enter the door." ”
Wei Ying smiled: "It's okay, anyway, I'm going to come here once in the near future." The cloth said, "It's better to do it the night after tomorrow." Wei Ying smiled and asked, "But why?" The cloth-clothed man smiled and replied, "I will stop working the day after tomorrow." Wei Ying laughed: "Doing things for others is involuntarily." Well, I'm leaving. "Say goodbye and leave. But the clothed man stood in the shade of the tree and watched his back quietly until the guard was far away.
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the Prime Minister's Mansion began to sweep the court, Wei Ying rode out of the city on a white horse.
There was a rush along the shore of the water, and he was already sweating slightly.
Let the horse run for more than 30 miles, and then go back. Thinking of the white-haired old man he met in Dong Xiangchun last night, he couldn't be at peace, and he always felt that there was an indescribable mystery in the old man.
Wei Yingyou thought of the ancient Jiang Shang, Baili Xi and even his own teachers, these old but still have the world's great talents and high hidden, they are all strange people who can not be found. Yesterday, after some attention from him, it was indeed a bit of a sudden feeling. How could he have thought of the Qin State?
How could it have been imagined that such a weak country could make a difference? It seems that he has been focusing on the Wei State for several years, concentrating on the study, and he has become a little unfamiliar with the situation of the war country. Dong Xiangchun seems to have to go, and the naked debate and undisguised propagation of secret rumors there is almost a different form of wisdom Warring States.
Wei Ying believed that if he went a few more times, he would be able to determine his own way out. Thinking of this, the handsome and bright cloth-clothed man appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of his childlike naughty smile and his good intentions for hand talk.
In the vast world and the vast sea of people, it is a comfortable thing to meet a chess friend who has no scheming unexpectedly.
I have to stay in the cemetery for at least a while, and I sometimes feel bored and unbearable when I study hard, and if I can invite such a naughty and lovely little chess friend to spend time, it is also a happy thing...... Suddenly, he saw a small boat moored at the pier on the south bank of the water!
The man in red on the boat seems to be yesterday's opponent in Dong Xiangchun? Wei Ying's eyesight is excellent, and he believes that he will not be mistaken. An inexplicable feeling made him not want to meet this person here. He turned his horse's head around and went up the hillside, where he hid behind a tree and looked out at the river.
On the south shore came a magnificent chariot with a squad of knights behind it. Judging from the gait of the officer who got off the car, he looked like General Pang Juan. Wei Ying was not mistaken, this was the general Pang Juan seeing off the man in red. Although the conversation between the two is in the wind, it is very clear.
"General, this car is worth a lot of money."
"Mr. smiled, this is given by the King of Wei, and he must take it to welcome and send him off. Pang Juan can't disobey the king's orders. ”
burst into laughter, "General, in the eyes of King Wei, which is more important to you or jewelry?" ”
The gentleman teased. Pang Juan was puzzled, Mr. Legalist and celebrity, why did he have to return to Qi State? Wei needs talents even more. ”
"General, be cautious and aim to be in the school palace, not in the court. If Wei really needs talents, there is a giant who can turn things around right now, why not use it? "——Ah, it turns out that this person is a well-known cautious!
"But I don't know who the gentleman is referring to? It shouldn't be the Wei Ying recommended by Uncle Acne. ”
Be cautious: "The general asked me to take the school guard martingale." I look at this person's style and bones, and he is absolutely talented. His profoundness in practical government affairs is astonishing. If this person can be the prime minister in the Wei State and complement the general's civil and military affairs, the Wei State is limitless. ”
Pang Juan was puzzled, "Oh? This is a strange thing! I personally took the school guard exam, and I saw that he was mediocre and pedantic, and almost only read Confucian books. Why does Mr. think he is a talent? ”
Shen laughed: "The three-year-old children in Anyi City know that the general and the uncle acne are at odds, can Wei Ying believe you?" Talking about debate in a wine shop is naturally the true character of a celebrity and a gentleman. What does the Admiral think? ”
Pang Juan seemed to pause for a while, and then a voice came, "Sir, don't worry, Pang Juan should do his best to defend Martingale into politics." ”
"Good! In this way, there will be a famous person in history in our Dharma. ”
"Why is the gentleman willing to leave the throne to someone else? Don't want to go down in history? ”
Cautious to a burst of laughter, "Anyone can go down in history, why burn those history books?" Be cautious to be in the middle of the work, live in politics, and be mediocre, so why bother in vain? ”
Pang Juan: "Sir, do you know Wei Ying's teacher?" ”
Be cautious: "Be cautious to people, don't ask the teacher, only look at the real talent and learn enough." ”
Pang Juan: "Thank you, sir, for your advice." ”
"Farewell." Be cautious enough to flick your sleeves, and the boat floats away along the water. Pang Trickle rode and rumbled away.
Look at the boat drifting away, the carriage and horses are gone, and the Wei Yingfang comes down from the hillside. All the way, but his mind was turning, who would have thought that this person would be cautious? Who would have thought that he would be cautious enough to be entrusted by Pang Juan to find Dong Xiangchun to take the school himself? In this way, wouldn't the effort in front of Pang Juan be self-defeating? Why did Pang Juan do this? Did he not believe in himself at all?
Sure enough, doesn't it prove that Pang Juan is still doubting himself? is so cautious that he praises himself so much in front of Pang Juan, doesn't it cause Pang Juan to be more and more unable to let go? How will Pang Juan treat himself?
Thinking of the widely rumored story of grievances between Pang Juan and Sun Bin and Pang Juan's ruthless methods, Wei Ying couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart. Pang Juan is not an uncle acne, and he will never be able to recommend himself as hard as his uncle acne. Pang Juan knows how to eradicate potential competitors, as long as he believes that you will be his real competitors......
Suddenly, Wei Ying's heart lit up - Pang Juan may not think that he is a potential opponent! But after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't eat it for a while. Based on his observation of Pang Juan and all kinds of rumors about Pang Juan, Pang Juan thinks very highly of himself and is an extremely confident person, and he may not overturn his examination school because of his uncle's recommendation and cautious evaluation. However, Uncle Gong is acne and cautious, and he is famous all over the world for his "appearance", how can Pang Juan be a breeze on the words of these two people?
On the way into the city, Wei Ying grinded for more than an hour, and finally made up his mind.
On this day, Qin Feng, Jing Jian and others also came to Dong Xiangchun's chess room.
Dong Xiangchun's chess room is always tempting.
On the third floor of the main building, near the side of the courtyard garden, is the well-known heart hall in Anyi. This heart hall is a quiet place for guests to talk about their hands. In the hall, dozens of green jade cases are arranged in a sparse manner, and each case is equipped with a mahogany chessboard with exquisite workmanship.
On the north wall hangs a huge wooden chessboard, with two female chess children standing on either side. On ordinary days, after the officials and scholars drank and talked fiercely and argued, they came to this heart hall in twos and threes to play peacefully, showing the infinite murderous intentions in black and white.
If there is a request from a special master or player, the deacon of the Heart Cultivation Hall will arrange a large commentary. At this time, the people who scattered the game would stop fighting, carefully evaluate the big game, and applaud when they encountered the highlights. If it is said that debate and exchange rumors are the foundation of Dong Xiangchun, then the fight in the heart hall is the soul of Dong Xiangchun.
Qin Feng and Jing Jian have also admired this chess room for a long time, and they have come here today to see the most famous place in Dong Xiangchun. And this place is indeed extraordinary, at least what Qin Feng thinks.
The most conspicuous thing in the heart hall is a thick copper plate standing on a jade shelf under the large plate. The copper plate is engraved with eight big characters - those who destroy the six countries in a row will be rewarded with ten thousand gold! It's amazing.
The soldiers of the Warring States period did not know how to play chess, and in the killing of chess, the scholars often compared each other to themselves to two countries at war with each other. In the hall, there are often sighs such as "Zhao State is dead" or "Chu State has three cities", which is a judgment of the general trend of both sides.
After a long time, Dong Xiangchun turned this custom into a kind of rules outside of chess, making the competition more fierce. When the player enters the hall and takes a seat, the chess boy holds a copper tripod, which is engraved with the words of the seven major warring states and more than 30 small and medium-sized vassal states of the round copper plate.
The player reached out and grabbed a copper plate, and the country name on it was the code name of his side. If both sides touch the big country, the onlookers will cheer and shout: "Yan Chu battle, good!" "If one side is a big country and the other side is a small prince, people will shake their heads and sigh for the small princes, and if the small princes win, they will be doubly excited and cheering.
If there were any scholars in the hall at this time, they would gladly invite the victors and guests to drink, and would see this as a hint of national fortune.
Dong Xiangchun set up rules, but there are those who destroy the "six major wars" and "unify" the world, and the reward is 10,000 gold! However, for decades, no one has been here to destroy even the three major warring states, so the reward proclamation engraved on the copper plate can never be removed. It is precisely because this kind of fighting rules are faintly in line with the turbulent general trend of the world that the temptation of the interplay between national fortunes and chess is irreplaceable by other gatherings or even polemics.
