"Someone, set up a chessboard, bring wine!"

In the depths of the palace, Lin Mu, who had just come down from the court hall, returned to the palace and changed into court clothes and gave such an order, and after returning to the Jin Kingdom, Lin Mu lived more and more like the king of the Warring States Period.

After a while, Jiu'er and a few other maids were ready to play chess and drink, and Lin Mu at the time of the big victory was also full of ambition, sitting lazily on the futon, if he was seen by a group of people who adhered to etiquette, he might have to count the appearance of the monarch, but there are no public clans and those rotten Confucians, so there is no need to worry about being pointed at.

Although Lin Mu was comfortable at the moment, his brain was running rapidly, staring at the chessboard and falling black chess pieces without saying a word.

Playing alone, constantly thinking about how to move next, thinking about how to move on the chessboard, and thinking about how to go in the future.

Reputation is too important in this era, the era is not the same, the pattern is different, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it can be said that the origin determines the limit of the achievement, and the common people cloth cloth scholars ascended to the heights and called the prince and the prince Xiangning There is a kind of useless remarks in this era.

There are enough cattle people in this era, Wu Qi, Li Kui, Zigong, Zixia, Cai Xiang, Shang Ying, Su Hao, etc. can't be counted, but even if you have the ability to reach the sky, the limit of your life's achievements without the legal identity of the clan is just a very human minister, and it depends on whether the monarch wants to reuse you.

Lin Mu felt a little fortunate that he was born in the heir of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, and with this identity, it was completely different, which was equivalent to having a "license" for starting a business.

This time he returned with a big victory, and got a large piece of land from the hands of the Liang State, and the territory of the Jin State is not to say that it is comparable to the New State, and even the Han State is inferior, and it is a little larger than the Zhongshan State, but the land is not small, and it is a good location, and the power of the management should not be underestimated.

There is no doubt that the first priority of the current Jin State is to get rid of the situation that its fate is at the mercy of the big powers, not to say that it is a chess piece that can be destroyed if it is destroyed.

However, it is not easy to get out of such a situation, as soon as Lin Mu thinks of this level, he finds that greater troubles and affairs are also coming, at this moment, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as an enemy inside and outside.

The outside offended Liang Guo, just at the doorstep, real strength is the last word, this Lin Mu is unswerving, don't look at Yang Yang Dezhi now, in fact, Lin Mu, who does not have a "hard iron rod" at hand, is also very empty.

In case this old Liang King suddenly can't think of destroying you, even if the current Lin Mu has learned the best in the bamboo scroll, in the face of the opponent's absolute hard power, the Jin Kingdom really only has to be destroyed.

This is an external trouble, and there is only one way to get rid of such an external problem, to strengthen yourself, hold an iron rod in your hand, and it is not false to have a "stick".

However, internal worries, the Shiqing Shilu aristocracy within the Jin State is not cleaned up, and it is almost impossible for the Jin State to strengthen itself, and the biggest obstacle to changing the law and reforming internal affairs is the Shiqing aristocracy, especially the Sanqing is the most difficult stumbling block.

There are enemies inside and outside, not to mention, the opportunity cannot wait for people, if you miss it, you will miss it, Lin Mu, who is a man of two lives, is very clear, and the next few years are the only God-given opportunity for the Jin Kingdom to rise, and it must not be missed.

However, in the face of this series of predicaments, it really feels very tricky to break this situation, and when I look left and right, I find that there is no one who can share the worries, only two maids.

Lin Mu stared at the chessboard and pondered the current situation and situation.

Now there are only two right-hand men, Win Zhan is a handsome general, and Cao Yan, who can quickly train a cronies and elites, and can make a strange commodity to live in, is also a talent, but it is not Wang Zuozhi's talent, and whether it can be used remains to be investigated.

What makes the current Lin Mu feel a little tricky is that these only two henchmen basically have no foundation in the Jin Kingdom, and it is no exaggeration to say that if Lin Mu leaves the nobles of Shiqing, it will basically be difficult to move an inch.

At present, it is still up to those nobles to do their best.

The only good news is that in all eras, interests never change, and even if they are already considered enemies, destroying them is not the only option. Even if it is an enemy, as long as it is maintained on the bond of interests, so that those Qing clans can see that it is profitable, Lin Mu is not afraid that they will not do their best, and this expedition is the best proof.

The only difference is who is the real hunter and who is the prey at the end of the day.

Staring at the chessboard that has been covered with a large number of black and white chess pieces, the silent eyes shine with a deep light, and the eyes gazing at the chessboard want to find a way to break the game from the intertwined chess game, but they do not say a word.

The shadow of the master Meng Yan appeared in his mind, and the words on the bamboo scroll in the past were vivid, and the voice of heaven and earth sounded in his mind: "The art of slashing, the way of heaven and earth." Those who are struggling with it will also know their feelings, and those who will close it will also be sincere. If you are sincere and then anticipate your feelings, you can take advantage of your feelings. ”

In the eyes of the world, the art of closing is just a kind of negotiation and lobbying technique on the surface, but it is a big mistake to really think so, and it does not get its essence.

The art of shutting down is not only applicable to the art of war, but also advocates that it is the best policy to achieve military objectives before the use of force in the strategy of military strategy, which coincides with the principles of "surrendering the army without a fight" and "going to the army to attack the enemy, then attacking the enemy, then attacking the army, and then attacking the city".

Life is also like this, those who have a degree of shutting down, can know the advance and retreat, know the gains and losses and retract freely, even if it is a person in the world, it is also a deep way.

Those who can afford to have true intentions can dominate the world.

Lin Mu held a black chess piece between his fingers, stared at the vertical and horizontal chessboard with his eyes, and muttered in his heart: "Master, how can I break the game in today's situation?" ”

While pondering and meditating, a passage that the master had once said suddenly appeared in his mind: "...... or take it out, or take it in; Take it or take it away. Shut it up for its lichen! ”

The meaning of "捭 and 阖" is similar to that of "opening and closing".

The purpose of the combination is to remove the disadvantages before opening, and the purpose is to profit from it. Or, in other words, the purpose of cooperation is to take something internally, to gain something, and then open it later, for the purpose of benefiting in reality, and the purpose is still to gain.

In the final analysis, in the end, it is nothing more than the four words "for its benefit" as the ultimate core, and the methods and means used by me are just the methods and means used by me.

"If a piece is kept in a box, it will always be a meaningless dead piece. It will only be valuable if it is placed in the game. Today's situation is indeed full of dangers, even if you fall into the wrong place, you will lose your troops and lose your ground, and you will lose all of them, and life and death are only in a thought! ”

"For its benefit!" Lin Mu, who lowered his head and twisted his brows, suddenly his eyes flickered slightly, and he involuntarily grinned with a rising arc, and a feeling of undoubted thinking about the clouds arose spontaneously, and with a big hand, the sunspot in his hand fell into the chessboard.

Black is in the game!

It is any step that must be planned and then moved!

The way of heaven and earth is to shut, the world of warring states, the world of great contention, heaven and earth for the game, all living beings for chess, not for chess pieces, who is the son?

Who is it?

Of course it's me!!

In the world of great controversy, I am a chess player, and I am a chess player!

Lin Mu figured it out and was no longer confused, and a sense of pride and expectation arose.
