Chapter 097: Chess Game
Hearing that he was going to accompany the Zhang family brothers, Wu Yanzhi's heart became angry. However, he didn't dare not go to the emperor's order, not to mention King Liang, Yang Zaisi, Zong Chuke and others.
Of course, all three of them are actually sycophants. Of course, these people all have one thing in common: they look good! In ancient times, when you were an official, sometimes your appearance was more important than your ability.
Yang Siqiao is also very enthusiastic about Wu Yanzhi, and this time Wu Yanzhi returned to Beijing, and also brought him a lot of gifts, but he caught up with his five or six years of Yulu.
He also knew that this Wu Yanzhi might be very promising, and he also had a relationship. The two chatted, and not long after they left, Wu Yanzhi saw Wu Yizong in front. He hurried up a few steps and said, "Uncle is also going to the banquet?" ”
Just now, Yang Siqiao didn't seem to mention the person Wu Yizong.
"Oh it's Wu Lang, congratulations on your promotion, I just received a notice to accompany Your Majesty today!" He didn't say anything to accompany him.
Speaking of which, this Wu Yizong, who is not very good-looking, is one of Wu Yanzhi's favorite martial artists, except for his two nephews, of course.
The reason is very simple, Wu Yizong has two extremely rare strengths: uprightness and loyalty. He's not a sycophant.
(Historically, the literati slandered it to the fullest, but in fact, it was just that Wu Yizong killed many people who wanted to support the Li family according to Wu Zetian's intentions!) )
……
Wu Yanzhi, Wu Yizong, and Yang Siqiao rushed to the Renshou Hall in the south of Jiuzhou Pond.
Yang Zaisi, Wu Sansi, Zong Chuke and others had already arrived first. Wu Yan looked at it, the two brothers were really white and handsome, and their bearing was extraordinary, and they deserved to be born in a family of eunuchs.
He met with the people according to the etiquette. Although Yang Zaisi is the prime minister, he is very modest and respects Wu Yanzhi very much. This person is a grass on the wall, and of course he doesn't dare to offend the Wu family.
However, Wu Sansi and Zong Chuke were very cold. Wu Yanzhi couldn't care about so much, these two villains, and he didn't have the time to take care of them.
Wu Yizong has been living in the capital for this year, and he has not traveled far, so he naturally knows about the major events in the divine capital. He gave Wu Yanzhi a brief introduction to Wu Yanzhi's entry into the palace. It turned out that these two people were sent to the palace by Princess Taiping, and they used to be her faces.
It has not been ten days since the Zhang brothers entered the palace, and the two of them are already from the third rank of the "Yinqing Guanglu Doctor". This is the Great Zhou (Tang) advanced loose rank, which is extremely rare!
is the four prime ministers today, except for Yao Xuan, who is a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, the other three are only four or five ranks. Wu Yanzhi's scattered rank is only four grades.
Liulang Zhang Changzong's position is the right scattered cavalry attendant of the third rank, and the position of Wulang Zhang Yizhi is the Siwei Shaoqing from the fourth rank.
Since Wu Yanzhi is a person from the next generation, of course, he also knows a little about the background of the two sheets, but where does Wu Yizong know the details?
After listening to Wu Yizong's introduction, Wu Yanzhi nodded silently, and said in his heart: It's normal to talk about it! For example, isn't the emperor's concubine the second and first grade? It's even higher than these three grades!
Wu Yizong is also like an ordinary person for those two zhangs, he thinks it is normal, and he is not overly flattering.
However, the three of Wu Sansi, Yang Zaisi, and Zong Chuke are different, they have been talking and laughing around the two, extremely flattering, as if they are slaves! Seeing this, Wu Yanzhi couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Especially Yang Zaisi and Wu Sansi, the two made Wu Yan very shameful! He thought, the two of you, one is the dignified prime minister of the Great Zhou, and the other is the prince, why do you have to be so low and flattering to the two male pets?
If you can't mess with them, can't you leave far away?
……
After a while, Wu Zetian, accompanied by Shangguan Wan'er and many palace maids, came out to eat. Soon, the table was full of food and drinks.
After the meal, everyone accompanied the emperor and Erzhang to the dragon boat on the Jiuzhou Pond and played with the calamus. Wu Yanzhi saw that there were many people, so he excused himself to let the elders come first, and he only watched the battle from the sidelines. Because the cattail is generally played by five people, it is almost the same, and when there are many people, it is not fun.
Wu Yanzhi and Wu Yizong looked at the lotus flowers in the pond.
It's close to May, and the lotus flowers in the garden have begun to bloom, and the breeze is blowing, which makes people feel refreshed. The scenery of this Jiuzhou Pond is really beautiful!
That Wu Yizong looked at the lotus flowers in the pond and said with a smile: "Liulang, the time will soon be a year, I remember that in June last year, you won the two great poets Song Zhiwen and Chen Ziang here!" ”
"It's just a limerick poem, so don't mention it again uncle." Wu Yanzhi said lightly.
"Rokuro is too humble! Rokuro is not only extraordinary, but also proficient in tactics. You besieged the first village in Lingnan with 2,000 people and won a big victory, I admire it very much! Wu Yizong's expression was not a joke.
Wu Yanzhi was humble for a while, and suddenly heard Zhang Yizhi shouting there: "King Liang, Yang Xianggong, admit it!" The contemptible man is okay this game......"
"I'm afraid he won 500 times in this game! This Zhang Yizhi is smart, very good at canopy, double-land, even Go, and there are few enemies! Wu Yizong shook his head.
The two were chatting, and suddenly heard Shangguan Wan'er over there asking Wu Yizong to participate in the game: "King Hanoi, it's your turn!" ”
After that, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly saw Wu Yan sitting alone, so she came over to chat with him.
"Won't Takero play with Oak? Why is one person here? ”
"That canopy has nothing to do with despicable people." Wu Yanzhi said lightly.
"Does Takero play Go? It's better for the slave family to accompany Wu Lang to talk about a game! Shangguan Wan'er said.
"The contemptible people are rough enough to play Go, since the Shangguan talents have Yaxing, the contemptible people dare not accompany them?"
So Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly asked someone to take Go, and the two began to play chess. Wu Yanzhi's heart is very comfortable, being able to play chess with a talented woman like Shangguan Wan'er with unparalleled beauty and intelligence on the dragon boat in this Jiuzhou Pond is not an opportunity that anyone can get!
However, although this Shangguan Wan'er is very talented and her Go skills are okay, compared to Wu Yanzhi, it is too far behind.
After more than a dozen moves, Wu Yanzhi had already tried her chess skills, so she decided to win a few less ways against her. So I started to estimate and adjust the idea of playing chess, basically just slightly maintaining an advantage over her.
The two of them are playing chess, and the second game over there has ended! That Zhang Yizhi had already won two games, and everyone coaxed him to stop him from continuing to play: "Wulang, you are so superb, how dare I play with you?" ”
Wu Zetian looked at it and said with a smile: "Wulang, why don't you go and play Go with Wan'er and Yanzhi!" ”
"Yes!"
"That's right! Gorou, I heard that you are more powerful than Zhu Pu, so you might as well point out General Wu and Shangguan talents! Yang thought again.
"Okay. Yang Xianggong, it's not me who is talking big! In Luoyang, when it comes to this game of Go, I haven't seen a few masters. I heard that Xue Jichang's chess skills are okay, but a few months ago, he was transferred to Shaanzhou by the saint to be a assassin, and he didn't have a chance to compete! ”
When everyone heard this, they knew that he must be extraordinary, so they complimented him vigorously. Zhang Yizhi packed up his chips and came to see Wu Yanzhi and Shangguan Wan'er playing chess.
After a little look at the situation, I felt that there was not much difference in the chess skills of the two. Of course, Wu Yanzhi must be stronger. After more than 30 sons, he saw that Shangguan Wan'er's defeat was decided, so he said loudly: "Shangguan Cairen, you are very passive in this game, I'm afraid that there is no hope, and you don't admit defeat yet?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er also felt that there was no hope, so she hurriedly threw away the chess pieces and said with a smile: "Let's go here!" ”
"This ...... Well, the contemptible people didn't play chess anymore. Martial Supervisor, I won't show mercy! "He's very flamboyant.
At this time, Wu Zetian also came over, and when he heard Zhang Yizhi's words, he smiled and said: "Wulang, Yanzhi is a great talent, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, don't be too big!" ”
"My grandmother is too famous, and my grandson has written a few small poems, I'm afraid this chess skill is far inferior to Zhang Shaoqing!" Wu Yanzhi hurriedly got up and saluted.
That Zhang Yizhi also got up and finished saluting, and then sat down.
"Contemptible chess skills are shallow, please ask Zhang Shaoqing for more advice!" After Wu Yanzhi put the four seats first, he took the initiative to pick up the sunspots.
"I watched it for a while just now, and I feel that Wujian's chess skills have been slightly introduced, and it's still okay!" Zhang Yizhi had an unstoppable look.
Wu Zetian frowned, he had heard Xue Jichang say that this martial arts skill was extraordinary. thought to himself: "It's good to let Yanzhi frustrate Zhang Yizhi's spirit, this person is more flamboyant than his younger brother Zhang Changzong, it's good to cause less trouble for yourself, lest you be impeached by the imperial history, and you won't be able to deal with it yourself!" ”
Sure enough, more than ten children fell, and Zhang Yizhi's expression became extremely embarrassed, and he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Wu Zetian shook his head, and while lamenting that Zhang Yizhi's defeat had been revealed, he looked at Wu Yanzhi, the descendant of this calm martial artist, and unconsciously pondered it in his heart......
