Chapter 236: Gambling on Chess

Huang Jin is also invincible in the palace, full of confidence, and thinks he is a master in the world. And although he knew that Sun Dan was a famous talent in the world, most of Sun Dan's talents were shown in poems and articles, but he had never heard of any research on Go.

Since he met Sun Dan, Huang Jin has been suppressed by him in any aspect, and in the emperor's place, Sun Dan's status is already higher than himself. Huang Jin was also unconvinced in his heart, and he had the intention to frustrate Sun Dan's sharpness in his own strength.

Hearing Huang Jin's words "Look at how I humiliate you", Sun Dan was aroused by his competitive spirit, and said with a smile: "Since you have the heart to compete with me on the black and white screen, let's play a few games to see who humiliates whom?" However, it doesn't make sense for us to do this, so why not have some lottery heads. ”

Hearing Sun Dan's words, Huang Jin smelled a strong smell of conspiracy and hesitated.

Sun Dan smiled: "Father-in-law Huang, what are you afraid of, you and I are both major shareholders of the Lu family's money bank, are you still short of money?" ”

Huang Jin snorted: "There is no shortage of money in our family, let's say, how much is a game?" ”

Sun Dan: "What kind of person is Gonggong Huang, if you lose face with a few big money in a game like a small people in the market." Otherwise, ten taels and one round. ”

Huang Jin: "Okay, ten taels will be ten taels, our family is still afraid that you won't succeed." ”

Seeing that the two of them gambled so big, Bi Yun, Qiao Yu and Sun Henian, who were locked up in the same courtyard, were all taken aback. The literary style of the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, and the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting were the four arts of the gentleman, and the game of Go had the effect of developing intelligence, and ordinary readers would play a few hands. All three of them were talented people, and they also played music when they were young, but they were also abandoned due to their busy affairs. Now that he was locked up in the courtyard, he was idle and bored, and he was tired of quarreling, and when he saw that Sun Dan and Huang Jin were going to play chess, they all came over with great interest.

During the Zhengde period, the skills of chess players were greatly improved, and three famous schools of Go were formed: one was the Yongjia school with Bao Yizhong as the champion and Li Chong, Zhou Yuan, and Xu Xisheng as the champion; The first is the Xin'an faction with Cheng Ruliang as the crown and Wang Shu and Fang Ziqian as the crown; The first is the Jingshi faction with Yan Lun and Li Pu as the crown.

These three factions have different styles and different offensive and defensive emphasis, but they are all famous players at the time. Under their leadership, Go, which had long been monopolized by scholars, began to develop among the citizen class, and a group of "alley villains" of chess players emerged. Through their frequent folk competitions, the game of Go has been further popularized.

With the prosperity of Go entertainment activities, a large number of Go scores compiled by some folk chess artists have also emerged, such as "Shiqing Lu", "Stone Room Immortal Machine", "Sancai Tuhui Chess Score", "Xianji Arsenal", "Yi History", "Yi Wen" and other chess scores.

It was at this time that this elegant game began to turn into a gamble. However, most of the daily promotion and fighting of small people have a few copper coins a game, which is to have fun. It's really rare to see things like Sun Dan and Huang Jin, and Qiao Yu and the others are a little surprised when they see it for the first time.

However, this was still the beginning, and later, as the two gradually fought out the real fire, the color head became bigger and bigger, which opened the eyes of the three of them.

In the first game, Sun Dan held the black back, because he hadn't played chess for a long time, his hand was a little raw, and he was not used to the rules of ancient Go, so he was a little difficult at the beginning.

Although Huang Jin is a bit dirty, his chess style is very ruthless and very belligerent, and he fights with Sun Dan as soon as he gets started.

This probably has something to do with the ancient rules of duration.

In ancient times, the rules of Go adopted the white disc first and the seat system, that is, four pieces were placed at the position of the four stars on the corner of the chessboard during the game, two for black and two for white, similar to the current diagonal star layout. There is also a rule that the head of the chess piece is returned, that is, every time you break a piece of the opponent's chess, the opponent will stick a piece to you when the winner is finally calculated. Therefore, the more the other person is broken by you, the greater the profit you make.

The reason why Huang Jin's chess style is so ruthless also has a lot to do with this rule, and the diagonal star layout and the interests of the split make fierce battles inevitable.

If one was not careful, Sun Dan was strangled by Huang Jin and killed a big dragon, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead.

Although the three onlookers looked at each other unpleasantly, they nodded at the same time: "Huang Jin played this chess game well, and the chess is divided into nine grades." Although Huang Ban's chess is still in the stage of fighting power, it is also rated as the sixth grade. ”

Sun Dan was not in a hurry, while Huang Jin was slowly fighting, he slowly became familiar with the rules of ancient Go, and then analyzed the opponent's chess style.

To tell the truth, although Huang Jin's chess style is fierce, his level is not very high, that is, the level of the early amateur stage in later generations. However, he blindly fights with others, and he can't talk about the layout, if he can overwhelm him in the layout, when it comes to the mid-game strangulation and the end of the game, he can definitely beat him.

It is also understandable that the ancients emphasized the middle game rather than the layout, which has something to do with the ancients' understanding of Go, which mostly used brute force to play chess, without making strategic arrangements in advance.

From this point of view, if Huang Jin is placed in the later generations, the real level is the quasi-amateur early stage, and there are major technical defects, it is not impossible to deal with it.

He can actually kill all sides in the palace at this level, and I don't know if the level of the ancients is too low, or if everyone is afraid of his power and deliberately gives in.

According to Sun Dan, the latter is more likely.

In the first game, Sun Dan luckily returned a few hands in the back officials, and finally regrettably lost by one and a half.

The three onlookers all felt pity.

Bi Yun has a calm personality and no expression on his face. It was Qiao Yu who slapped his thigh, "It's a pity, Sun Dan suffered a small loss at the beginning of this game, if he didn't make a mistake at the beginning, in my opinion, according to Sun Dan's chess strength, he should be able to win a few times." ”

Sun Henian: "Otherwise, I look at Sun Dan's chess move, Yin is soft and weak, and first of all, Huang Gonggong is weaker in morale." Before the battle was cowardly, although the officials behind were also very fierce, they were forced by others to be anxious, and the trapped beasts were still fighting. ”

Qiao Yu already saw that Sun Henian was not pleasing to the eye, and stared at him fiercely: "What do you know, Huang Ban's chess is blindly brave and ruthless, which is like Sun Dan calmly and calmly, and the pattern is one level lower in the first place." ”

Sun Henian ate Qiao Yu and drank, his face flashed with green energy, and finally endured it without speaking.

Huang Jin smirked proudly: "Give money, give money, Sun Dan, you cow, you bake cowhide on weekdays, our family finally has something stronger than you." ”

Sun Dan was not angry, threw a money ticket over, and slowly put the chess pieces into the box: "Come again." He has already figured out how to deal with Huang Jin, and if he wants to deal with him, he must plan it at the beginning, so that he will fall into his trap unconsciously.

Huang Jin sneered: "If you don't give up, it's up to you." ”

Then it was a guess of chess, Sun Dan guessed Baizi, went first, and took the beginning first.

With a smile, he put a white seed on the star position in the right corner of his side, according to the conventional rules, at first these children should be pointed at the star position in front of the opponent to show respect. Sun Dan's point is already a naked provocation.

Huang Jin's face turned red with anger, and he slapped a chess piece down: "Wait." ”

Sun Dan: "What does Grandpa Huang have to say?" ”

Huang Jin: "Sun Dan, you and I are both very wealthy people, what's the point of ten taels and one game." Let's increase the size, fifty taels and one eyes. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Yu and Sun Henian both took a breath of cold air, but Bi Yun still looked calm, as if he was very confident in Sun Dan.

The level of these two people seems to be very close at present, but even so, after each game, how can this be a win or loss for three or two purposes, which is also one or two hundred taels of silver, which is enough for ordinary people to eat for a year.

Sun Dan laughed: "It's up to you, give you a word back, and see how I humiliate you in this game." ”

In the second game, Sun Dan did not start a mid-game strangulation with Huang Jin at the beginning, but began to lay out unhurriedly.

At the beginning, he suffered a small loss in some parts, and everyone sighed when they saw it, but Huang Jin was even more proud and laughed.

But gradually, not only Huang Jin, but even the people next to him could see that Huang Jin's strangulation was getting weaker and weaker, and he was gradually restrained by Sun Dan's pre-arranged move. The chess pieces that Sun Danxian laid out that seemed to be useless were now gradually connected into a rope, slowly heading towards Huang Jin's throat.

Huang Jinli's great chess style could not be used at all, but was gradually limited to death by Sun Dan's big appearance.

Qiao Yu and Sun Henian could see it clearly on the side, and they both cheered at the same time: "Wonderful, Sun Dan's chess is soft and secretive, and ordinary people really can't guess his chess move." ”

"I can't imagine that chess can be played like this."

That Huang Jin played chess very fast before, falling one after another. Now I have fallen into a long exam, and I can't get off for a long time, and my face is full of beads of sweat.

Sun Dan smiled: "Huang Ban, do you still need to go down?" ”

Huang Jin said angrily: "Why don't you play, this chess is only half played." ”

Sun Dan: "You have already lost this game, even if you forcibly support it to the end, you will lose with thirteen eyes." ”

"Yes, Kuroko should lose thirteen eyes in the end." Qiao Yu and the others calculated in their hearts, and nodded at the same time and said yes.

Huang Jin didn't believe it, and went down a few more times, but he couldn't walk anymore.

Sun Dan sneered: "I can't walk, I'll do it for you." After speaking, one hand black, the other hand white, both hands fell like the wind, and soon finished the game of chess.

In the end, everyone counted, and Kuroko exactly lost thirteen meshes.

Sun Dan helped Huang Jin play chess with Huang Jin's style, and it was also the most correct way to deal with it, even if Huang Jin was replaced, he would not do better than Sun Dan.

In this game, Huang Jin lost completely.

In the next few days, Huang Jin was still not convinced, and continued to fight with Sun Dan, but still lost a lot.

The win or loss of fifty taels is really a bit big, and when Sun Dan is in a good state, it is possible for Huang Jin to lose more than a thousand taels. Huang Jin found that it was not a way to lose like this, so he proposed not to calculate the victory or defeat according to the number of meshes, just three hundred and twenty-one games.

Sun Dan also nodded in agreement.

Huang Jin was also ruthless, and let people send a few chess games in, in addition to playing with Sun Dan every day, he was immersed in studying chess skills, often sleepless all night, and the whole person lost a lot of weight.

Huang Jin is improving, Sun Dan is not idle, as he plays more and more chess, he gradually picks up the abandoned chess skills, not only that, but the level has also improved a lot. If you think about it carefully, he now has at least the level of an amateur third or fourth dan.

Not only did he win over Huang Jin in terms of layout, but the official's kung fu was so bad that Huang Jin couldn't raise his head in the strangulation battle because he had read Li Changho's chess games before. The level of modern competitive Go is really not blown, and naturally it is not something that Huang Jin can understand.

For most of the month, Huang Jin lost more than 20,000 taels of silver to Sun Dan in one go, and his face turned green when he lost. The silver ticket on his body was naturally swept away by Sun Dan, and he kept borrowing money from Jinyiwei, which made Lu Bing a little afraid to see him.

At the beginning, Sun Dan and Huang Jin's level was very close, and they also came and went when they played chess, which was very intense. Qiao Yu and the others watched it thrillingly, and it was very boring to be locked up in the yard, so they watched it with relish.

But when it came, Sun Dan's chess strength improved greatly, and he had thrown Huang Jin away two streets.

In this way, there is no confrontation between him and Huang Jin.

Qiao Yu and the others didn't look so nervous about the chess game as before, anyway, Sun Dan won both horizontally and vertically, and the game without expectation had become a pure performance. What I saw was Sun Dan's exquisite layout, his miraculous beauty, and the devastating officials.

Any kind of thing, as long as it is studied to the extreme, is an art, Sun Dan's chess is undoubtedly very ornamental, of course, Huang Jin's gray face is also worth seeing.

Huang Jin is too, obviously he has not been light, but he refuses to lose face, he has been gritting his teeth and struggling to support, refusing to stop. His preference for death rather than fall is also admirable, but he does not deserve sympathy.

The so-called chess is a mistake, tied hands and feet, he is already so old, Sun Dan is only eighteen years old. No matter how hard Huang Gonggong works, he can't think of beating Sun Dan in this life.

Sun Dan won the money and won the softness, and he also sighed in his heart: This prison is also interesting, and if he sits in it for another year, it is estimated that he will win all of Huang Jin's net worth.

Of course, he also knew that it was impossible for the emperor to let him and Huang Jin live in Beiya like this.

In the future tax reform, the emperor also needs him to give advice.

And Huang Jin is the emperor's companion, the most trusted person, and it is impossible to see him suffering in prison.

The most important thing is that he, Sun Dan and Huang Jin, are both the emperor's own people, and fighting in their own nest is already a joke, and it is even more of a big joke for everyone to live in Beizhen Fusi so unexplained.

Maybe you can go out in a few days, Sun Dan thought.

"Mrs. Liu, it's me, I'm Tinglan!" In the small square outside the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, Ting Lan led everyone in Sun Dan's mansion to squeeze towards the Sun family of the Marquis of Huichang, shouting: "It's too chaotic over there, come and squeeze Madame." ”

Mrs. Liu finally sneered: "Isn't Sun Dan very capable, why do you think that you want to come to us to squeeze." Tinglan, your little hooves have also climbed the high branches, do you still have my lady in your eyes? ”

Tinglan was stunned: "What did Madame say, I was trained by you, Tinglan will always remember Madame's good." ”

Mrs. Liu was even more angry: "Madam, what madame, your wife is a branch mother, what does it have to do with me." Since Sun Henian was arrested, she finally collapsed, and she no longer had the calm and composure she used to have.

Eating Mrs. Liu's scolding, Tinglan was so aggrieved that her eyes couldn't stop rolling in her eye sockets, and finally fell.

It was still Mrs. Hong's heart was soft-hearted, and she sighed: "It's too chaotic here, there are a lot of people, how can Sun Dan say that he is also a member of my Sun family, if his wife is squeezed, how is it good, let them come and squeeze it." ”

Zhi Niang had no city in her heart, and when she heard Mrs. Hong say this, she was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, Mrs. Hong." "I'm going to walk towards the Sun family.

However, everyone stopped in front of her, and no one was willing to give up a place.

Zhi Niang was stunned, not knowing what to do.

Tinglan bit her lip and whispered to Zhiniang: "Madam, they won't let us pass, let's go, so as not to eat their anger here." ”

Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Whoever eats whom, why didn't I see that Sun Dan was a white-eyed wolf before, the second master's crime this time was caused by him, in my opinion, our Sun family will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later." “

Zhi Niang suddenly shouted loudly: "You are not allowed to talk about Sun Lang like that." ”

At this time, a member of the Sun family came over with Zhai Luan and others. Both sides, who were still tense just now, quieted down at the same time.

Seeing that the people who came were all officials, Zhi Niang hurriedly pulled La Tinglan's sleeve: "Tinglan, let's go." ”

"Don't be afraid, ma'am." Ting Lan said in a low voice: "We are not going anywhere, although they are officials, but my master is not a mortal." The master is now in prison, and I don't know if these adults recognize the master. Wait a minute, just ask the lord about the situation, I heard that today His Majesty issued a holy decree to conclude the case, and I don't know what happened to the lord in the end. ”

Although Zhi Niang was afraid in her heart, because she cared about Sun Dan, she stopped and listened to the conversation between Zhai Luan and Mrs. Liu with her ears sideways.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly gave a salute: "I've seen Lord Zhai." ”

Zhai Luan hurriedly returned the salute: "Madame, speaking of which, I am also familiar with Lord Liu Daxia and Brother Henian." ”

When Mrs. Liu heard him mention the names of her father and husband, tears fell: "May I ask my lord, I don't know how my lord will judge?" The husband committed such a serious crime, and he didn't know if he could save his life. Also, what did the emperor do with my Sun family? ”

Zhai Luan's heart moved, and he immediately understood. It is said that Sun Henian's sentence of beheading is already a sure thing. It seemed unnecessary for her to ask now. Don't...... Could it be that she got it, the emperor wants to copy the news of the Sun family, and wants to come to find out my mouth, so it is better to prepare early, or to transfer assets.

Zhai Luan is such a shrewd person, he only smiled: "This son of heaven naturally has a will." However, I didn't read the decree before I came, but I didn't know what it said. ”

Mrs. Liu responded in disappointment, and was very dissatisfied with Zhai Luan's leakage, so she only bowed her head and wept beside her.

Zhai Luan comforted Mrs. Liu a few words, and was about to leave, but saw a woman in the crowd of the Sun family walking out, and asked timidly: "Dare to ask my lord, I don't know what the situation of Master Sun Dansun is now, and how is it judged?" ”

Mrs. Liu's eyebrows raised when she heard this, and she turned her head and scolded: "Zhiniang, there is also a place for you to speak in front of Lord Zhai?" ”
