Under the big laurel tree on the side of the terrace of Weiyang Ganquan Palace, the shade is like an umbrella cover, and a group of Yulin captains and palace guards are mixed in a large circle, among which there are several felt seats, and two people are seated opposite each other.

Liu Che, the son of the Han Dynasty, looked solemn, and the chess piece pinched between his fingers patrolled several times, and fell on the chessboard with a snap, it was a black horse.

The veteran of the other side was not in a hurry, he still arranged his troops step by step, and after losing the unfavorable situation of the two guns, relying on the support of a horse and a cart, the two veterans broke into the opponent's forbidden area in two ways, and then flew in, general!

Liu Che thought for a moment, but finally had no solution, put down the chess pieces in his hand, and laughed.

"General Li's sword is not old! Brave as a man. Just like the fearless veteran who is brave on this chessboard, he is commanded to capture the flag and win the battlefield on the battlefield! ”

The person who played chess with Liu Che on the other side was Li Guang, and when he heard the emperor praise him like this, he got up first and saluted, and he didn't dare to praise it.

To say that Liu Che is still very approachable now, and the veteran Li Guang has always been upright and does not take such a trivial matter as winning the emperor's chess to heart.

"Your Majesty, if you want to be fearless, all my Han soldiers are worthy of these two words. On the battlefield, under the dragon flag, it is his duty to kill the enemy bravely. As for the title of the veteran, it is the same as the general's mind. Li Guang touched the goggles on the chest of the armor and sighed with some emotion.

"Don't underestimate this ordinary veteran, on the battlefield, thousands of armies attacked, relying on the courage and tenacity of these veterans from a hundred battles! Go forward bravely, and die without spinning! An army with such momentum and determination must be a formidable and formidable opponent for the enemy. ”

Liu Che listened with a serious expression, and nodded frequently in agreement.

"It's a good kind of chess! The layout of the line is secretly combined with the army array to attack and kill, and it is also strategizing to foresee success or failure, whether it is to catch and kill or the overall plan, it makes people's hearts shake and cannot be suppressed. The person who can make such a chess game must be a master with a big plan! Your Majesty, but I wonder if this person can let the last general see him and ask for advice?"

Liu Che was quite surprised to hear him comment like this, because he knew that this person had always been arrogant, and there were very few people who could put him in his eyes, let alone bend his waist to ask for advice. Therefore, after hearing this, a strange smile flashed on his face.

"General Li, I may be going to disappoint you. This is not a master's award, but it was snatched from my emperor a few days ago, haha! ”

Li Guang looked a little confused, and asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty's princes are still young, how can it be...... How can it be....... ”

He wanted to say how could a child know such an esoteric military formation technique! It's just that when the words came to his lips, he felt disrespectful to the emperor after all, so he didn't say it.

"General Li, this matter is true, but it was not made by my emperor, I heard Xiao Ju'er say that this chess is called Xiangqi, and it was given to him by a friend I met outside the palace, I ...... It's just a matter of playing a few rounds, haha! ”

When Li Guang heard the emperor say this, he didn't ask more, and only sighed slightly in his heart, there are as many high-ranking people as there are in the grass of the past dynasties, but unfortunately they are often not reused.

In fact, this upright veteran still doesn't understand the emperor's mental skills. In the past few years, several wise ministers above the court have faintly discovered the difference between this son of heaven. is that the more he attaches importance to things, the more he will show understatement and seem not to care, but this is just the discovery of a few people with a heart.

In fact, this is exactly one of Liu Che's subtle tactics. For example, this kind of thing called chess, don't look at the seemingly joking tone he used to Li Guang, in fact, he already attaches great importance to it in his heart.

A few days ago, he inadvertently strolled to Jianzhang Palace, and met Liu Ju and Su Xi playing chess, both of them were very engaged, thinking attentively, so that their father and emperor peeked behind their backs for a long time without noticing.

The emperor stood there and watched for a while, and was immediately attracted by this kind of thing. He is a person with a hero complex, although he clearly knows that he is unlikely to have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in person in this life, but he always yearns for that kind of Jin Ge Iron Horse in his heart.

As a teenager, he loved everything related to war, especially those battles in the early days of the Han Empire. And now this understanding is a little deeper.

After carefully figuring out how to play this kind of thing, Liu Che, who is the son of heaven, patted his son on the shoulder, and praised his daughter's well-behaved, seeing that the two people looked at each other for unknown reasons, picked up the box of things called chess, said to take it to study it first, and walked away with a smile.

The sister and brother looked at each other, wanting to cry without tears. The box of chess pieces once escaped the threat of Mrs. Wei under Xiao Ju'er's coquettish tricks, but after all, it did not escape the clutches of her father.

When he stepped out of Jianzhang Palace, Liu Che's face fell silent and restored the majesty of the emperor. Thinking about things all the way, he went straight to the side hall, waved his hand, and turned out two figures from the darkness, without saying a word, bowing to the ground and listening to the command, and a cold voice sounded from the top of his head.

"Go and check out the Fanxue Building, and the details of the child who is good friends with Huang Ziju, go and figure it out, go ahead!"

After waiting for a while, the two people underground saw that the emperor had no more orders, got up and retreated and went out.

Liu Che's eyes fell on the cases in front of him again, staring at the box of chess pieces.

"If you are really friends that Xiao Ju'er inadvertently met outside, it is better to say that someone will protect you well, and it is not difficult to be prosperous and rich! If it is for the sake of this harem dumping and deliberately approaching with bad intentions...... Hmph!" He snorted coldly.

However, this kind of chess game is really good, and he has mastered it in less than two days. And his opponent was naturally Li Guang, the captain of the Yulin Army, and a few guards around him.

Today's interest is just right, killing three sets in a row, 2 wins and 1 loss, although he lost to Li Guang in the last game, Liu Che didn't care. Because this is just a few rounds of waiting for the palace people to prepare things. Today's highlight is to go out of town!

Going to Zhongnan Mountain Royal Shanglin Yuan Qiuwei to hunt was something that Liu Che had planned very early, but there were many things in the previous paragraph, and Empress Dowager Dou Chongyang He Chen, so it was delayed.

And these days happened to be free, and the weather was good, so all kinds of things were prepared, and the team went out of the palace and rushed to the end of Nanshan.

There were already royal forest military police along the way, Liu Che originally intended to travel lightly this time, and did not bring many noble ministers, only a few close courtiers and ...... His youngest son Liu Ju.

For this time the emperor took the initiative to take Liu Ju to go hunting, everyone was unexpected, and the fine and scheming people were secretly surprised. What is the Emperor going to do?

And Mrs. Zhongwei of Jianzhang Palace was happy in her heart, and the emperor's doing this showed that he attached great importance to this son.

And not long ago, the emperor stayed in Jianzhang Palace, and after a tender and sweet meeting with her, he had clearly said something to her, which made her even more excited.

In the selection of talents in Cilin Yuan held soon after, the emperor will find suitable candidates for Liu Ju and select a group of people with both ability and political integrity to be his teachers.

Moreover, the emperor also revealed a message to her in advance, the newly built Gaotai palace in the northwest corner of Weiyang Palace has not been named, and soon after, the imperial pen will give the palace the name "Bowangyuan", and officially give it to him as Liu Ju's place to study.

The signal is already obvious! Mrs. Wei is such a smart woman, she chooses talents to assist in studying, she naturally knows what it means, not only her, I believe that by that day, probably many people will understand the emperor's thoughts!

And today, is the emperor going to take Xiao Ju'er to learn to gallop on horseback?

The sons of heaven of the Han family are all rigid and soft, both civil and military, from Gaozu to the first emperor. Presumably, the emperor doesn't want his son to be just a weak king!

Mrs. Wei naturally knows very well what kind of person Liu Che is as a husband and a husband, what kind of wildness and passion he has in his hidden heart, and those big dreams sometimes even make her feel a little scared. In some ways, she can be regarded as his confidant, otherwise how could she have been favored for so many years? This is not something that can be obtained simply by serving a man in Israel.

Therefore, standing behind the carved railing on the top floor of the Jianzhang Palace and watching the team of people and horses go away, at this moment her heart is longing and joy, thinking of those secret enemies, she actually feels a kind of courage in her weak body that is no longer timid and retreats.

"My Ju'er has begun to embark on that much-anticipated road, and my mother will never let herself fall, and will definitely be behind you, blocking all the open guns and arrows for you...... No matter what it takes!"

The north wind swept the roll, kissed the spine beast, the copper bell of the eaves of the palace rang lightly, the carved railing and jade masonry room, there was a beautiful woman, the white gauze was better than the snow, the clothes were fluttering, and the lips were murmuring, and a brave determination was made.

The wind that swept through Weiyang Palace continued to blow southward, crossed the water of Jingwei, leveled over the endless fields, and finally felt its breath at the northern foot of the verdant and dense Zhongnan Mountain.

The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, the mountains and rivers are inside and outside, the Qianmo vertical and horizontal roads, the dead grass is trampling and the hooves are urgent, and the flying horse leads the bow and shoots the eagle!

In the vast royal forest garden of Zhongnan Mountain, people shouted horses neighing, and the warriors of the Han family led by the Son of Heaven began to hunt in autumn this year......!
